Chapter 60 — Jealous Again
The seafood was very fresh, and Qin Jiran served up a variety that he boiled and barbequed. Su Yanyi happily finished everything and was in an especially beautiful mood.
After the meal, he led her out through the back door of the restaurant. He acted with some secrecy, but Su Yanyi didn't mind. They walked through a small garden, still completely alone, and continued on for two more minutes until an entrance came into view. There was a man sitting there, most likely a security guard.
When he saw them approach, he immediately stood up and greeted them, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, everything is ready. Please come in."
Su Yanyi was completely unfamiliar with being called "Mrs. Qin." Even though her relations.h.i.+p with Qin Jiran had been disclosed already, this was the first time. But… it wasn't a bad feeling.
Qin Jiran stole a glance at her. Seeing that she had no intention of refuting, he felt very pleased with himself, and a smile spread across his face. He nodded at the security guard and said, "We'll be going in then."
The two entered. Qin Jiran was evidently familiar with the place, but Su Yanyi was not. A casual sweep of the vicinity revealed that there was nothing special about the place, as it seemed no different from an ordinary house. They pa.s.sed through a small living room and entered a bedroom, and what she saw inside surprised her.
"A tiger cub?" To be precise, it was a white tiger cub with its eyes closed in slumber. As it laid inside a wooden cage, she could tell that it was very small, almost like a cat; however, she wouldn't mistake it for a cat because it was undoubtedly a white tiger cub.
"From a friend. It was smuggled in. If you like it, you can keep it. If not, you can send it to the zoo." The reason he had to take her to this little house was that taking the tiger cub out could result in bad consequences, and more importantly, he wasn't sure if she would agree to raise it.
Su Yanyi's eye twitched. Raise a tiger? She'd never thought about doing that before. The tortoise was already troublesome enough, why would she want to raise a tiger? And it was a smuggled one at that. Was he kidding her?
