Hongqi leaned closer to Xiulan and whispered "I received some news that you bought a lot of pregnancy test kits. I quickly went here to confirm. What's that about? What are the results?"
They may look like they are sweet and cuddling but Hongqi's questions were very pressuring and intimidating. For a second, he didn't sound like the usual friendly tone he has every time he spoke to her. This time, he was very monotonous and somewhat cold.
He actually got the news from Han Pierre while he beats him up for saying nonsense stuff to his wife. Pierre somewhat escaped death's door when his secretary informed them that Xiulan bought pregnancy test kits and went inside the nearest hospital. Hongqi quickly left the beaten and bloody Pierre to catch his wife's eccentric movements.
"Hehe~ husband. Your intel is definitely the best. How come you managed to get this information so fast?" Xiulan asked back and gently smiled at him. She grabbed his free hand and acted like a sweet wife.
She just had those PT kits half an hour ago then this man already got the information. She knew Hongqi's men are everywhere but she did not expect for this kind of information to be passed to fast. Add that he's here in an instant bothers her so much.
"He sure has a lot of time to even come here just to confirm..." Xiulan subconsciously ranted. At this rate, she really can't hide anything from him anymore.
Those people in the drug store, were they the people who reported to him? How the hell did they manage to send it to him? Are the secret bodyguards he sent to follow her managed to get that information? She has a lot of questions.
"I am the best so my people should be the best too. But right now that's not the issue, what are the results, love? Hmm?" Hongqi leans closer again and his hands that were on her arms a while ago are now on her waist and he tightened his hold to secure that she won't ran away. He was not angry or anything but he felt like tightening his hold on her in case she would suddenly dash outside to escape him.
On other people's view, they look like they will make out anytime soon. The girls who are inside the restaurant were so jealous seeing Hongqi so close to his wife. They wished that it was them in Mrs. Xing's shoes.
The customers were aware of the news and gossips between the two but they never expected to see their PDA to be very entertaining that they only wanted to look at them. They gawked at the couple like it was fine do to that. They were shameless and some even took pictures of the couple.
Xiulan didn't like the attention they were getting. She only wanted to eat yet this haughty husband had to come and ruin the peaceful atmosphere.
"Negative. The results are negative, my husband." Xiulan calmly said even though she really wanted to run away from this restaurant and hide. Gosh, for sure their pictures will spread on the internet again.
"... I see." Hongqi murmured. He had a deadpan expression so no one could tell what he was feeling or thinking right now.
He removed his hands on her waist and let go of her other hand as well. He sat up straight and majestically called the waiter to order some food. He talked to the waiter with a very calm voice and a bored expression. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Xiulan didn't understand his sudden impassive actions. He seems calm and his straight face didn't give much clue on what he was thinking or feeling. Xiulan got more nervous seeing this side of him.
This is the first time she saw him like this. He was domineering, yes, but his domineering side still has a tinge of expression that either he's irritated or unhappy. Seeing this impassive side of him made Xiulan a little bit sad.
"What's your order, my love?" Hongqi asked. This made Xiulan stop her idling thoughts.
She grab the menu book again and muttered "I would like to order minestrone chicken soup and chicken parmigiana. For the drinks, just a regular house water."
"Water only?" Hongqi suddenly asked. As he remembers, Xiulan would always order drinks that are either tea or a juice full of glucose. He suddenly became suspicious of her choices.
"I have a medical appointment later so it's best to stick to water for now." Xiulan explained and gave the menu book to the waiter.
Hongqi also gave the menu book and dismissed the waiter.
"What's your appointment about?" Hongqi moved his chair closer to Xiulan and leans closer to her again. He didn't try to put his hands around her but instead he stared at her face too seriously. Though this may look sweet but his deadpan expression didn't give that feeling for Xiulan.
"I'm... I'm getting my IUD insertion. It's like a high level birth control." Xiulan was not sure if she should say this to him but what's the use of lying when he'll found out about it anyway.
Hongqi's mouth curved slightly for a second but his expression returned to being deadpan again. He was actually happy that she didn't try to lie but still she was so secretive that he can't help but sulk secretly.
When he is sulking, he always have a deadpan expression. He was not aware of this habit because he rarely sulks anyway and of course he can't see his face.
"Is that why you bought those kits?" Hongqi laid his arms on top of Xiulan's chair like he was about to wrap his arms around her. He wanted to touch or embrace her but since they are in a public place, he should at least add some distance between them. He felt Xiulan was uncomfortable from the sudden attention from the other customers.
"Yeah... my lab test results will come out after four hours and I'm dying to know the possibility of the results. The test kits' results are not 100% confirm yet so I still have to wait for the lab results. In case I was pregnant, then the IUD insertion won't continue." Xiulan patiently explained. She peeked at his expression and it seems that he was not angry or anything since he still have that straight face. "Are you mad that I kept this information from you? I mean my IUD plans. Usually, a married woman must ask her husband about this. Are you angry?"
Hongqi looked straight into Xiulan's eyes to see the sincerity in her words. "No. I'm not mad or angry. It's your body and choice. We may be married but I understand why you didn't even try to tell me that. We aren't in that level yet that we are comfortable in sharing these kind of stuff to each other. Though, this answered a question that I've been thinking lately. I feel like you still don't trust me that fully yet. I'm quite sad about that."
Xiulan snorted hearing that from him. She genuinely smiled from his answer.
"Why are you laughing? I'm sad here and then you're laughing." Hongqi began complaining.
"You are really cute today, dear husband. Thank you for understanding." Xiulan was really thankful that she at least got married to someone who understands these kind of stuff and won't throw a fit.
"You are really pretty too. Every day and always." Hongqi sweetly said and quickly landed a kiss on Xiulan's sweet lips. His resting hands on top of Xiulan's chair are now on her nape to secure that she won't move her head.
This sudden sweet public display of affection gained gasps from the customers who were watching them.
"Are you really not mad?" Xiulan asked again after their kiss. She was not even angry at him that he made a roguish attack on her again and even in public! It's like she forgot to be angry at him for being such a flirt while people are looking.
"I am not. But let me escort you back. I should at least be there, right? I will be mad then if you won't allow me." Hongqi suggested and tucked some strands of her hair in the back of her ear. He doesn't have the deadpan expression anymore. Rather, his eyes are now lovingly watching every movements of his wife. He was not aware he was making this expression.
Xiulan only smiled at him and nodded. The two stared at each other with such loving intensity that each of them are not even aware that they have those expressions plastered on their faces.
"Indeed. The Xing couple are really madly in love!" the bystanders who kept on watching them can't help but to comment on what they are seeing.
