Spoiled by Love - Sweetheart, Don't Tempt Me - Chapter 95 - Honey, I Was Wrong!

Xia Zhennan had imagined countless expressions his wife might show upon seeing him, but he never expected her to charge at him with such fiery anger, catching him completely off guard.

His internal alarm bells rang loudly. Xia Zhennan realized he must have done something to upset his wife, though he wasn’t sure what had sparked her anger. Nevertheless, he knew that displaying a humble, apologetic demeanor was the right move. So, as his wife approached him quickly, he called out to her with deep affection, hoping to soothe her fury, “Honey…”

But Zhan Niantong, in the heat of the moment, found the term “honey” akin to pouring gasoline on a fire, making her anger blaze even more fiercely. He still remembered she was his wife, did he?

With a furious grip, she yanked his arm, pulling his tall frame to the other side of the car, using the vehicle to block the view of the gawking onlookers. Then she unleashed a verbal storm, “Why were you standing there like a statue, letting everyone gawk at you?”

Xia Zhennan finally grasped the gravity of the situation; his wife had fallen into a vat of jealousy. In such circumstances, only one choice was wise: “I’m sorry, honey. I was worried that if I stayed in the car, I wouldn’t see you right away, or you might miss me and leave, so I…”

Honesty was his best policy, hoping for her understanding. But a woman steeped in jealousy is rarely rational, and she pouted with displeasure, “Hmph, you were trying to catch those young girls’ attention, weren’t you?”

Faced with such an accusation, he dared not accept it!

“Honey, I wasn’t. Don’t you know my heart?” Xia Zhennan clasped her small hand, pressing it against his chest, gazing at her with tender affection. “I may be a big man, but my heart is small, and you’ve already moved in and locked the door. No one else can enter.”

His heartbeat was strong and rhythmic, pounding through her palm and into her heart, making her own heart beat in sync with his.

Her anger melted into sweetness, and she playfully glared at him, “You always know how to sweet-talk me.”

Xia Zhennan smiled gently, “I’m only speaking the truth.” Those young girls had nothing on his beautiful wife!

“Hmph, yet you purposely stood there attracting those girls. Don’t you know how irresistible your face is? Those students were captivated by you, speaking so boldly. Do you know how I felt hearing that?” Despite his soothing words, her jealousy flared again at the memory of the girls’ comments, her words tinged with bitterness, “They called you a hunk, their dream guy, and even talked about approaching you. Do you know how that made me feel?”

“I’m sorry, honey, it’s my fault, it’s all because of this face of mine. How about from now on, I cover my face with a scarf whenever I go out, so no other girls can see it, only you. Would that be okay?” Even though he was indirectly complimented by his wife, he didn’t dare to be happy about it. She was still upset, so he carefully used all his tricks to coax her.

Her dear husband was so humble in admitting his mistake that if she continued to hold onto it, she would seem petty: “No need for that. If you go out with a scarf, people might mistake you for a monster and scare the kids.” She said it wasn’t necessary, but in her mind, she was imagining how funny it would be if her dear husband walked down the street with his face wrapped in a scarf.

“Yes, you’re the boss at home. I’ll listen to everything you say.” Agreeing with her was definitely the right move: “So don’t be mad.”

“I’m not mad.”

She said she wasn’t mad, but her lips were pouting so high you could hang a lantern on them. That was clearly a lie! But her jealous look was just so adorable!

He couldn’t help but gently tap her little nose, his rich voice carrying a hint of teasing: “Hmm, you’re not mad, you’re just jealous.”

To his surprise, Zhan Niantong admitted it openly: “Yes, I’m jealous! So what? Can’t I be jealous?”

Her bright, cat-like eyes sparkled as she glared at him, her gaze shimmering like a beautiful lake, stunning his deep eyes.

If they weren’t on the street, he would have leaned down to steal a kiss: “Of course you can, you’re my wife. You’re allowed to be jealous! But you look so cute when you’re jealous!”

His sweet words almost made her heart melt, but she kept her head clear. She pulled her hand back from his and moved around to his waist, giving him a firm pinch: “Hmph, don’t think you can fool me with sweet talk. Tell me, why did you lie about going to the provincial capital for a meeting, and now you’re standing here?” He had given her such a big surprise and shock.

The little cat not only scratched and bit but now also pinched. He had truly spoiled her rotten, but he enjoyed it. His face remained gentle, with a touch of grievance: “Honey, I’m innocent. I didn’t lie to you. The provincial political commissar really did notify me of a meeting this morning. But once I got to the provincial capital, they told me the meeting was canceled, so I came back.”

Hmm, even though he explained, it was too late to ease her anger: “Hmph, you still deliberately hid it, so you’re wrong.” Hmm, and he made such a big show at the school gate, attracting attention and causing trouble. Truly a grave offense!

He curled his lips into a faint smile, teasingly, “Didn’t you sneak off to find me during the last National Day without telling me? So, is it only the officials who can set fires, and not the common folk who can light lamps?”

Hmm, this time Zhan Niantong’s mind worked quickly. “That’s different, that was before!” She pinched his waist again, her eyes glaring fiercely at him. “We agreed later that there would be no secrets, and you broke the rules.”

Uh-he had forgotten!

After a brief pause, Xia Zhennan quickly apologized again, “I’m sorry, honey, I was wrong. I truly realize my mistake, and I won’t make it again.”

Seeing him act like a good boy admitting his mistake was truly adorable. She only put on a stern face to scare him a little, yet he was so nervous and frightened, it was amusing! Zhan Niantong suppressed her inner laughter, maintaining a serious expression, “It’s good to know your mistakes and correct them, but punishment is necessary too.” She had unknowingly learned a few tricks from the old fox, occasionally transforming into a sly little fox herself.

“Yes, any punishment you give, I’ll accept.” Sweat, why did this sound so familiar? It seemed like a certain young lady who had made a mistake once said the same thing, only today the roles seemed reversed!

“Alright, then your punishment is…” Her mind spun, her eyes suddenly brightened with an idea, “Write a three-thousand-word self-criticism letter, and it must be handwritten.” Using one’s own method against them was the most fitting.

“As you command, my dear wife.” Xia Zhennan accepted it obediently, even finding joy in it.

While the couple was flirting and whispering sweet nothings to each other, a faint giggle could be heard from nearby, “Hehe…”

Zhan Niantong turned her head and saw a little head hiding on the other side of the car. She groaned inwardly; Gong Xiaoqiao was sneakily eavesdropping here, who knows for how long, and judging by her delighted laughter, she was definitely laughing at her.

She unceremoniously shouted at the little head, “Gong Xiaoqiao…”

Caught, Gong Xiaoqiao didn’t bother hiding anymore, standing up openly and waving with a cheeky smile, “Hi, you two! Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

Listen to her, she confessed without even being pressed, truly infuriating. Zhan Niantong was so angry her nose was about to twist, she accused, “You didn’t mean to, but you did it intentionally.”

Seeing through her, Gong Xiaoqiao wasn’t afraid, she admitted directly, “Yes, I did it intentionally.” Raising her brows, she winked at her, “What, did you say something secret that I can’t hear?”

Gong Xiaoqiao, the young lady of the Gong Family, was truly unkind, making her best friend so angry she was steaming, yet she pretended to be understanding, “Alright, alright, don’t be like that. I didn’t mean it. I saw you rush over angrily, so I wanted to see what was happening. Besides, your husband came to pick you up, so you wouldn’t have time to hang out with me. I just came to tell you I’ll have my driver pick me up.”

Hearing her best friend say she’d call her driver, she felt guilty, like she was abandoning her. She quickly offered, “That’s too much trouble, let us give you a ride!”

She was looking at her best friend, completely unaware that the big man behind her had a dark expression upon hearing this, looking at Gong Xiaoqiao as if she were a third wheel, filled with hostility! If looks could kill, she’d already be lying on the ground, unable to move.

She didn’t notice, but Gong Xiaoqiao’s sharp eyes did, and she continued to cover her mouth, giggling, “No way! You two are so lovey-dovey, I don’t want to be a thousand-watt lightbulb, getting in the way.”

“Fine, suit yourself.” Hmph, her kind offer was laughed at by her friend, truly a waste of friendship with this mischievous best friend. She grabbed her dear husband’s hand, deciding to ignore the young lady, “Honey, let’s go, don’t mind the crazy one.”
