176 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 6 (1/2)
Xue Lin unlocked her luggage and found all her books and clothes inside. She packed them along with her sketchbooks, school uniforms, rest of her storybooks and her childhood dolls.
”I didn't know you liked dolls,” Ge Chen remarked. He was delighted to learn something new about her especially considering how secretive she usually is about herself.
Xue Lin stated, ”We don't have dolls in our house, do we? I'll put them in the study room so that I can place my head on the dolls while reading.”
Imagining how his study room will become a dollhouse, Ge Chen chuckled in a low tone. ”Fine, do whatever you want.” He suggested, ”If you want, I can buy some more soft dolls like these.”
”Will you really?” Xue Lin looked at him with great expectations.
Ge Chen smiled quietly at her eagerness and agreed, ”I will. Do you have any preference?”
Xue Lin couldn't miss such an opportunity. She gave him a list without hesitation, ”I don't like stuffed animals but dogs are fine. Also, I like teddy bears, humpty dumpty, Winnie the Pooh, girl dolls and these dolls have to be soft dolls. I like Barbie dolls too but I already have three Barbie dolls. I don't need any more of those.”
Ge Chen stared at his cute wife silently and listened to her long list of demands with rapt attention.
The fact that she wished to decorate his study room with her dolls, it only showed that she thought of him as her better half. She thought of herself as his family and thought of his house as her own – realizing that gave him no small amount of pleasant feeling.
After she was done telling him about all the dolls she wanted, she realized that although both of them had stable jobs, those were not enough to buy so many dolls. She worriedly looked at him and said, ”My husband, you don't have to buy them all together. Let's buy a doll every two months.”
Ge Chen came closer and placed his hand over her shoulder. ”My wife, don't worry about money. This is the last thing you should worry about.”
Xue Lin placed her hands on her waist. ”What are you talking about? We have to save money for emergency situations. What if there is a problem in the future and we can't keep the housekeepers? Don't tell me that you will use your mother's company money? Didn't you say that the company money was for the orphans and that's why you would never touch it?”
Ge Chen gazed at her and then assured her, ”Yes, I indeed said that. I won't touch the money. Don't you see that we hardly spend our money anyway? You really don't have to think about it.”
Xue Lin narrowed her eyes suspiciously. ”Why do I feel like you have another job? …It's not a shady business, is it?”
Ge Chen paused before asking with a straight face, ”My wife, do I look like someone who would do such a thing?”
Yep, that's Xue Lin. When she talks logically, it's merciless. And yet, no one can blame her for it. Because, whatever she says is the cold hard truth.
The same thing happened to Ge Chen.
He nodded and agreed with her, ”You are right. I will try to earn your trust.”
