Towards evening, Gu Tingye still hadn't returned to the mansion. Minglan then asked the kitchen to keep the dishes warm. Mama Ge, as sensitive as she was, had already figured out what Minglan's food preference over these days. So she served a bowl of the silver anchovy ball soup in orange flavor. The silver anchovy was small, so the fish ball which was made from its meat was only as big as fingers. And with the sour and sweet flavor of the orange, this dish could satisfy Minglan's hunger and wouldn't let her be full at the same time. Minglan enjoyed the soup very much.

However, after she had only taken a few bites, Gu Tingye strode into the room. Then Minglan put down her spoon and got up right away, preparing to help him get changed and wash himself. However, the moment he smelled the delicious soup, he stopped right there without entering the inner room and grabbed the bowl to drink the soup. He just took a long swig from the bowl without using a spoon. And in no time, he drank all the fish ball soup.

"Eh, I have just finished half of it..." Minglan opened her mouth widely while thinking, 'Why does this guy look like a hungry ghost?'

Gu Tingye put down the bowl and then stroked Minglan's small face, saying, "You are my wife, I don't mind eating your leftovers."

After Minglan followed him into the inner room, she began to help him undress himself. Every time she stood in front of this tall man, she always felt a sense of pressure. As she concentrated on unbuttoning his coat, she suddenly felt warmness on her left cheek. She then realized that Gu Tingye had just kissed on her cheeks. She raised up to look at him and saw a joyful look on his face. "My wife is so pretty." He praised.

Hearing that, Minglan blushed slightly while having no intention to be modest, "You have a good taste."

Gu Tingye was dumbfounded for a second. Then with a loud laugh, he held Minglan's delicate body up and turned around in two full circles. Minglan looked at the ground from his shoulders, feeling a bit scared. Then she pounded on him heavily. However, her movements seemed to have evoked Gu Tingye's passion. After that, he just started to kiss on her cheeks and her neck at random.

Being rubbed by Gu Tingye's rough moustache for a few rounds, Minglan felt her tender skin numb and itchy. Then she put forth her strength to push his head away and said in anger, "Are you a dog?!"-- Every day he got off work, he would do this to her. Alas, she was about to have a skin allergy!

Gu Tingye laughed loudly after hearing her words and then put her on the ground. But he was reluctant to let her go and still shook her slightly in his arms. Having kissed on her lips, he lowered his head to press his chin against Minglan's forehead with his breath sprayed to her face. After that, the man said in a low voice, "Dumb baby."

His tone sounded so intimate, which made Minglan's face burn again.

After Gu Tingye had washed himself, Minglan broke all of Gu Tingye's hair buns and suggested, "Leave your hair like this. No one would see you in our own room."

At first, Gu Tingye still had some scruples. However, he did feel his scalp very uncomfortable wearing the hair buns all day. Also, Minglan had already inserted her hands into his hair and started to massage his scalp with her delicate and flexible fingers. That gave him an especially comfortable feeling. Then he just followed her advice.

The dinner table was set out in the side room. In the center of the spacious room was a round rosewood table carved with seasonal blessing pattern. Three of the large windows on the south were already opened. At the moment, the color of the sky was half bright and half gloomy. The sunset glow was like fire, casting golden light on the ground. The cherry-apple tree gradually became blooming with half opened buds on all of its branches. Although cherry-apple tree couldn't send out fragrance, it still gave a fresh and cool scent which wafted into the room with the gentle night breeze. Gu Tingye was in a long snow satin robe with his bushy hair down now. While he was walking to the table and took a seat, he only felt a moment like this made him so pleased. Even the daylong tiredness of him just disappeared right away.
