Chapter 73 She Was Beside Him, How Could He Be Unmoved
Song Ni had never sparred with Tan Zheng, but she knew that if she fought him, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. As long as this man wanted to, he could subdue her with ease. But she wasn't a coward, she couldn't just surrender before even starting when faced with someone stronger. Throwing caution to the wind, Song Ni put her hands on her hips and said indignantly, "Tan Zheng, is that all you've got? I just said you weren't good enough." The man narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at Song Ni's stance, and nudged his cheek with his tongue. He didn't have the breadth of spirit? What man could stand being told by his own wife that he wasn't good enough? Moreover, they hadn't even tried yet, and she was the one spouting nonsense. "I just said I'm not good enough?" Tan Zheng sneered. "Then I'll say you have no chest and no butt, are you angry?" Song Ni: ...... "Where do I have no chest and no butt?" As she spoke, she subconsciously lifted her chest and glanced down. While it wasn't large, it was definitely ample enough! Tan Zheng didn't miss this small gesture. He was still angry, but Song Ni's unconscious action defused half of it. Even Tan Zheng felt surprised. He wasn't a good-tempered person, but with Song Ni, all his anger could be dissipated by this little girl. "Then where am I not good enough?" Song Ni blinked, and guiltily glanced at Tan Zheng's lap again. Tan Zheng's tone... made her a little uncertain. "Then you slept so quickly last night..." Asking this question, Song Ni felt a bit uncomfortable. If there was a problem with Tan Zheng, wouldn't that mean her charm wasn't enough for him? But if she didn't ask, it would be a disservice to her đêm's worry and the effort she spent on that dream. Tan Zheng paused for a moment. His furrowed brow relaxed, the depth in his eyes dissipated, and the corners of his mouth curved up. "So, you're doubting my abilities just because I fell asleep so quickly lying next to you?" Song Ni wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips. "It couldn't be my problem, could it?" In the past, when Song Ni said this, she was always confident, but this time there was a hint of uncertainty. After all, her twenty-odd years of practiced charm had only resulted in Tan Zheng's blunt response. This man, Tan Zheng, was too unpredictable. Did he really not like her type? Did he prefer slender waists and long legs from sexy girl groups? It shouldn't be; her waist was slender, her legs were long, the only difference being her face wasn't exactly sexy. Tan Zheng took in every subtle expression and change in Song Ni's eyes, finding her more and more endearing. It was no wonder she thought that way. It truly couldn't be her problem, how could it be her problem? "Go check the refrigerator." "Huh?" Song Ni's brows furrowed. "What's there to see in the refrigerator?" The man slightly raised his chin. "Don't you want to know the answer?" The answer was in the refrigerator? Song Ni looked at Tan Zheng suspiciously several times, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and searched for a while. "Where is the answer?" The man who followed her stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall. "Don't you notice anything different?" Song Ni frowned and looked again. Her refrigerator was a dedicated storage for milk and fruit. She had eaten the fruit and drunk most of the milk. The only difference was... several bottles of water were missing. Song Ni's eyes widened slightly, and she took out a bottle of water. "This is your answer?" Tan Zheng nodded faintly, not explaining proactively, wanting to see how clever Song Ni's mind was. As expected, Song Ni quickly found the answer. She remembered Tan Zheng's first night staying over, when he went downstairs to drink ice water before bed, and before that, he had seen her body in the bathroom. So, that night he drank water to cool down. And last night, Song Ni looked up and carefully examined the remaining water. She didn't know the exact number, but she guessed that more than three bottles were gone. She was quite surprised. According to Tan Zheng's meaning, it wasn't that he was incapable, but that he drank several bottles of ice water downstairs to suppress his body's heat? Then what had she done last night? Song Ni narrowed her eyes and tried to recall. She remembered. She had just tidied his eyebrows and kissed him on the forehead. So, Tan Zheng's anomaly at that time was due to this reason. Song Ni raised her eyebrows with delight, her eyes curved, and she looked up at the man beside her with a smile. "So you have such poor self-control." Song Ni paused. "Tsk, no, it should be said that my charm is great." As she said this, Song Ni's smile widened. A man like Tan Zheng could be completely captivated by her simple kiss. Seeing the girl's expression change so quickly, the man couldn't help but chuckle and reach out to ruffle her hair. "Do you still think I'm not good enough... do you still think your charm is lacking?" Song Ni swatted Tan Zheng's hand away and rolled her eyes. "I knew it couldn't be my problem! Then why did you sleep so quickly?" She was beside him, how could he be unmoved? For once, Tan Zheng didn't want to face a problem directly, and he withdrew his gaze from Song Ni. Yes, she was beside him, how could he be unmoved? He had simply looked away from her for a few less moments, and the suppressed heat wouldn't stir. Of course, Tan Zheng wouldn't tell Song Ni directly. "Figure it out yourself." With that said, Tan Zheng returned to the sofa and picked up the remote control to change the channel. Song Ni stopped him first. "Don't, let's watch a bit more." She followed him, snatched the remote control from his hand, and turned up the volume. The screen had changed to another girl group performance, but compared to the previous one, it was much more restrained. As the camera panned over a figure, Song Ni immediately patted Tan Zheng's shoulder. "Look, the person you said had a good figure is also ranked quite high." Tan Zheng lazily lifted his eyelids to glance, found it boring, and returned his gaze to Song Ni, suddenly saying, "What's there to care about?" Song Ni's eyes darted around, and she haughtily raised her chin. "Care about what?" Tan Zheng didn't speak, but his gaze swept from Song Ni's chest to her slender waist, and finally to her crossed legs. Song Ni: ...... This dog man doesn't even know to restrain himself. "There's no other way. My future husband is praising other women's figures in front of me and saying I have no chest and no butt. How can I not care?" The man let out a chuckle from his chest, reached out to loosely embrace Song Ni's waist, and playfully patted her waist. "You're just right like this." A little less lean, a little more cumbersome. Seeing that Tan Zheng was indeed not interested in the girl group's performance, Song Ni figured he had just said that to provoke her reaction. Song Ni couldn't help but poke his chest. "Do you really sleep like this at home?" "Mmm." The man, likely having woken up too early, wasn't very energetic, and his voice was lazy. "Then why did you wake up so early?" "You have to ask me." Song Ni: ???????? How was this her fault? However, Song Ni didn't get a chance to ask further because the man had already rested his head on her lap and closed his eyes to catch up on sleep. Song Ni: ...... Half a minute later, Song Ni muted the sound again, silently watching the girl group performance. (End of this chapter)
