My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 298 You Have to Be Responsible for Me (2)

The timely arrival of the waiter broke the embarrassment between the two.

As soon as the spicy hot pot and fried meat with chili were served, Yiyao Duan’s mouth start to water. She said forthrightly, “Come on, eat!”

She behaves like this wherever she goes. However powerful the officials are that she’s eating with. She eats when she get hungry. She has her abilities which she’s confident about, and no one can do anything to her.

On the contrary, Hongguang Wang is a man of manners. He was impressed by her boldness but at the same time he despised her vulgarity. What’s more, he’s not a chili person. He never eats spicy dishes like this. However, as is said, he’s a man of manners; besides, it’s a fact that Yiyao is the commander’s daughter, so he had to be polite unwillingly.

“Miss Duan, you really love spicy food, don’t you?” He laughed with embarrassment, then he sneezed.

Yiyao took a look at the dishes he ordered - mushroom with green vegetables and braised eggplant in brown sauce, then she understood it right away, “You can’t eat spicy food?”

“Eh, no, I can’t...kerchoo!”

“What to do? I can’t live without spicy food.”

Hongguang pulled out a piece of tissue to wipe his tears. Then he asked tentatively, “Will you give up spicy food for me after we get married?”

“Impossible!” Yiyao said directly.

Hongguang was still trying to persuade her, “Spicy food is not good for the stomach, besides, it’s easy for girls to get pimples.”

“I have a good stomach and I don’t have pimples,” Yiyao had lost interest in him completely, so she became so direct.

Hongguang was choked by her words and he even forgot to sneeze.

He had never met a girl who’s so straightforward like this.

Yiyao saw him still looking at her, she put down her chopsticks and said boldly, “I’ll be direct. We are here to date, so let’s make a conclusion so that I can report my duty to my dad. First, I don’t like people being late, men or women; second, I am proud to be a soldier, and I will always be a soldier until I am no longer needed by the country; third, I am crazy about spicy food. Above all, so much for our date today, if you don’t mind, you can finish eating your food, or you can just leave now.”

Hongwang was dumbfounded by Yiyao’s words. When he finally got what she meant by saying that, he looked so embarrassed, “I am sorry, I am leaving. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Watching Hongguang’s figure while he was leaving, Jingyan almost burst into laughter. Yiyao is even cuter when she gets angry!

He stood up and then went to sit where Hongguang was seated. He asked the waiter to bring another pair of chopsticks and a bowl, and ordered another two Sichuan Spicy Dishes. Then he noticed Yiyao was upset.

“What, you don’t like him, do you? Then why are you upset?” Jingyan asked hurriedly.

Yiyao sighed, “Hay! What a pity for my beautiful suit! And my old man will scold me again!”

Jingyan clenched his hands tight under the table. He was sweating because he was nervous. Finally he said firmly, “Yiyao, I can meet the three requirements you just said.”

Yiyao was eating spicy chicken and totally didn’t get what he was saying. She asked, “What three requirements?”

“Em...you told him first, second and third, em...I am willing to do them for you. And even if you have fifth, sixth and seventh, I can still do those for you,” Jingyan looked at her bright eyes and he was almost nervous to death.

A fool would understand what Jingyan meant by saying that, not to mention a smart colonel as Yiyao.

But Yiyao did not expect Jingyan, who she had been seeing as a little brother, actually confessed to her in a Chinese restaurant.

After she finally recovered herself from being astonished, she said seriously, “Jingyan, thanks for trying to make me feel better, I can...”

“No, not to make you feel better. It’s for me!” Jingyan became bolder and kept confessing his affections to her, “I loved being with you when we were little, and as we grew up, I started to get thrilled whenever I heard from you and I would read your letters again and again. I’ve been carrying your photo with me wherever I go, and I did when I went to college, studied abroad or traveled to Africa. I thought I was only being nostalgic, but when I saw you again, I realized that I had fallen in love with you completely. This feeling for you was deeply rooted in my bones and my blood and now it has grown into a towering tree!”

Yiyao had never heard such romantic words. Her heart strings seemed to have been plucked by him.

“When we first met in Kindergarten, you said I was yours. I have always kept that in mind and I’ve been waiting for you. So you have to be responsible for me.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

These words were like a stone tossed in the center of a lake and the lake of her heart rippled.

They just looked at each other quietly without saying anything. Even the waiter came and left quietly when he brought the food over.

“Come on! So much being said, what about giving me some reactions?” Jingyan was almost nervous to death and kept sweating.

Yiyao stuttered, “You...you...you, but I am older than you!”

“Only a few months older.”

“But I won’t leave the army because of you.”

“I know. I will respect you and support you. You can stay in the army as long as you want.”

Yiyao’s eyes turned red. All the words that had been previously said were not as impressive as those of now.

“It’s too sudden. Give me some time.” Yiyao did not want to make the decision so impulsively. She needed to calm down first.

Hearing this answer, Jingyan sighed in relief. At least she didn’t turn him down.

Then the two went on with their lunch, with neither saying a word. As for the taste of the food, neither of them was really in the mood to enjoy it.
