In the car...
Ming was looking out of the window while Liwei was staring at her without saying anything. Ming started to become uncomfortable. How will she explain this situation? Xie Ming does not have any idea about acupuncture and medicine. But now she just treated a woman, that too with a 'hairpin '. She had no idea how to explain this to him.
"Now just stop staring at me and say anything, already?" Ming said when she got frustrated from his stare.
" How did you know that there was a hidden needle inside the hairpin? Liwei asked.
" I... I didn't know. How would I know that there would be something like this? It just.. yesterday I mistakenly dropped it and it gets separated and the needle came to my sight. I recognized it as an acupuncture needle. So I used it today." she said sheepishly. Hoping him to believe it.
" Then how would you explain about doing acupuncture. Now don't say, you learn it abroad because I know you studied business there." he interrogated suspiciously.
" ahem, it's actually true. I learned it abroad ". She said hesitantly. Her eyes rolling everywhere to avoid eye contact.
" Oh really? " Liwei asked, with suspicion.
Sensing his suspicion, Ming said, " Just listen to me okay?" Then she started explaining.
" I went abroad to study business. But there I met my master who taught me about Chinese culture and cooking. He was an... an Oriental medicine doctor. He treats people with acupuncture and medicine. And I got fascinated with it, so he taught me about it. It just likes this as I said." she looked at him and his expression was blank. She was wondering, would he believe her or not.
Then Liwei said, " And what is the name of that master? " he asked questionably.
She thought for a while, and replied" Zhao Bai". She said confidently. Because it's true. It was her father who taught him, about medicine and acupuncture.
Liwei raised his eyebrows at her confident expression. He said, " Then why didn't you tell me before that you know about acupuncture and medicine"
" Because... You never asked me anything."
She said confidently, looking directly in his eyes. Her father had told her that the best technique to survive, is to attack. If you know that your side is weak but should never show it on outside. instead attack first without waiting for the enemy. That way you will able to fool the enemy and get a hold on the battle. And these strategies from his father was helping her to fool Liwei.
Seeing her confident expression, Liwei thought, 'she is right. I never asked her anything about her life before. In fact, I don't know anything about her. '
This made him reflect on himself. He thought, ' I need to know her first. Without knowing each other, our relationship cannot become stable. '
He looked at her and said, "Okay, fine. I believe you. Now don't start sulking, okay?"
He said looking at her dull expression.
When she heard him, her eyes brightened. She then turned to him and said, " Hmph, Mr. Jin, you don't know your wife, how amazing woman she is. If you get to know her, you will know how lucky you are to marry her and that too without any efforts." she said smugly. Arrogance was evident from her voice.
Liwei looked at her, arrogant face. He chuckled. He doesn't know where her arrogance came from.
Then he grabbed her cheeks and give it a pull, and said, " you're right. I am so lucky to have such an amazing wife. She is good at cooking, good at medicine, good at showing people their place that too with elegance and good at praising herself and..." he paused deliberately and said in a low voice, "and I am sure that she will be good in bed too". As he said that, he winked at her.
" You.... You're shameless. How can you talk about these like this like that." she pushed him away and looked away from him. Her cheeks were burning red. She touched her cheeks to calm down.
He looked at her expression and chuckled.
' Her reaction is so cute. I think I need to tease her more to see her flushed face. ' he chuckled at his naughty thought.
