At the dinner table, Si Wan naturally sits beside Gong Siming. The distance between the two is very close, and every time she breathes, the clean and pleasant smell accompanying Gong Siming nearly makes her dizzy.
Even a full table of varied dishes is not as good-looking as Gong Siming to feast the eyes.
They have been married for more than a year, but it is the first time that Si Wan has been so close to Gong Siming; her heart beats like a jumping deer, not knowing where to rest.
Grandfather Gong suddenly speaks, "Wanwan, that brat likes crucian carp soup, ladle some for him."
Si Wan becomes stunned for a moment and then turns to the man beside her. Gong Siming looks stiff and cold, as if someone owes him money.
Hoping not to be worrisome, Si Wan clenches her fist and stands carefully to ladle soup for Gong Siming; trying her best to be cautious, she manages to make no noise despite her nervous tremble.
When pa.s.sing the bowl, Si Wan glances at the man's gloomy face; losing herself for a second, she accidentally touches Gong Siming, "Ah, sorry."
The hot soup spills out and all splashes on Si Wan's arm. Gong Siming's gives her a glance but says nothing.
Gritting her teeth, Si Wan bears the pain and uses the other hand to wipe the table hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I will fetch another."
The servants immediately come to clean up the messy table, and grandfather Gong opens his mouth firstly, "That's all right, spilling out the soup only by accident. It's lucky that no one gets scalded."
No one notices that Si Wan has scalded herself, so she sits down silently and hides the left hand behind her. While having dinner, she bears the pain but the sweat bursts out upon her brow gradually.
Gong Siming gives her a cold glance, after that he naturally sees the wound turning red quickly on Si Wan's arm. His eyebrows slightly move and his body leans a little bit towards Si Wan. When finding Si Wan frowns with pain, he straightens his body again with great composure.
Since she likes to tolerate, then do it.
…
After the dinner, the servants start to clean up the table. When the seniors are chatting together, Si Wan just sits beside, listening to their talk. Recently she is busy dealing with the work in the company, so she doesn't have a good rest.
When it comes to the topics she is not familiar with, Si Wan starts to feel sleepy, but she has to fight off the urge to sleep. Her little head falls downwards and rises upwards again and again, which is seen by Gong Siming who raises his eyebrows disdainfully.
"It's already late. Si, we gotta go." Grandfather Gong stands up and says goodbye to Si Wan's grandfather.
On hearing that they're leaving, Si Wan wakes up suddenly with a start. Standing up in a hurry, she said quickly, "Grandfather, I haven't met my grandfather for a long time, so I'll be at home with him this weekend."
