Tang Yuxin meletakkan keranjang di depan Gu Ning.
“Masih ada satu kesempatan, aku mau jalan lagi,” katanya.
Sebelum Gu Ning selesai berbicara, dia sudah kabur.
Satu-satunya yang bisa dilakukan Gu Ning adalah mendorong keranjang ke kasir lagi.
...
Saat dia selesai membayar barang-barang itu, Tang Yuxin sudah membeli barang lain lagi.
Gu Ning tidak akan komentar tentang apa yang Tang Yuxin beli, juga tidak akan bertanya;
Dia hanya mengurus pembayaran dan berperan sebagai kuli, membawa barang-barang.
“Oke, kita besok kembali beli lagi,” Tang Yuxin berkata dengan penuh semangat, tangan di pinggang, sudah merencanakan itinerary besok.
Namun, setelah pamer, dia berjalan ke Gu Ning dan menarik lengan Gu Ning.
“Boleh kan?” tanyanya.
“Bukankah kamu sudah memutuskan?” Gu Ning merapikan rambut Tang Yuxin yang berantakan.
Tang Yuxin dengan riang memainkan jari Gu Ning.
“Aku tahu kamu akan setuju,” katanya.
Setelah selesai bicara, perutnya keroncongan.
“Ayo pergi, kita makan dulu,” Gu Ning memeriksa lalu lintas di sekitar mereka, sudah hampir jam satu siang.
Gu Ning membawa Tang Yuxin ke salah satu restoran terkenal lokal di sini.
Karena sudah lewat jam makan siang, tidak terlalu banyak orang di sana.
“Aku lapar banget. Bisa minta sup tahu sayur hijau?” tanya Tang Yuxin.
Gu Ning dengan menyesal menggelengkan kepala.
“Mereka tidak punya sup tahu sayur hijau di sini, hanya sup tulang jagung,” jelasnya.
Tang Yuxin bersandar di meja, sangat menginginkan sup tahu sayur hijau itu tapi tidak bisa mendapatkannya.
Gu Ning memesan beberapa hidangan khas lokal.
Setelah hidangan tiba, Tang Yuxin makan sedikit tapi tampak kurang berminat.
Setelah selesai makan, Tang Yuxin tidak punya tenaga untuk belanja lagi.
Hari ini saja, dia sudah menghabiskan tiga sampai empat jam di supermarket.
Lebih baik pulang dan istirahat dulu.
Gu Ning, sekali lagi di belakang kemudi, membawa Tang Yuxin dan muatan besar belanjaan pulang.
Saat membeli, sepertinya tidak banyak, tapi saat membongkar, ada tujuh sampai delapan kantong, beberapa dus air mineral, dan kotak-kotak susu dan yogurt.
Tang Yuxin, melihat Gu Ning tidak bertanya banyak, tidak menjelaskan lebih lanjut.
“Itu...” dia ingin menjelaskan, tapi tidak tahu harus mulai dari mana.
Sebagai wanita berusia empat puluhan, bagaimana dia bisa membuat kesalahan kekanak-kanakan seperti itu?
“Bisakah kamu mengerti dorongan seorang wanita saat sedang belanja?”
“Ya,” Gu Ning mengangguk, “Kamu tidak perlu menjelaskan, aku mengerti. Apa pun yang ingin kamu beli tidak masalah. Kalau bisa dibawa, kita bawa. Kalau tidak, aku akan minta teman mengurusnya.”
Rasa malu di wajah Tang Yuxin langsung hilang.
“Begitu ya...” Dia menggigit jarinya, “Kalau begitu kita pergi lagi nanti, masih banyak yang belum aku beli.”
“Kalau kamu tidak capek, silakan pergi.”
Gu Ning mengulurkan tangan untuk menyentuh puncak kepalanya, “Ada pasar malam yang bagus di sana saat gelap. Kalau kamu tidak bisa tidur malam ini, kita bisa jalan-jalan ke sana. Jangan pulang terlalu larut, bukankah kamu bilang mau ke pantai pagi-pagi besok?”
“Oke,” Tang Yuxin mengulurkan tangan dan menggenggam tangan Gu Ning, “Pak Gu, ini janji, tidak boleh mengingkar.”
“Aku tahu,” Gu Ning menggelengkan kepala, berencana mengurus beberapa hal dan kemudian menemaninya keluar nanti malam.
Bagaimanapun, dengan suasana hati Tang Yuxin saat ini, dia tidak mungkin keluar tanpa istirahat dulu dan tidur sebentar.
Setelah bangun, dia akan siap untuk jalan lagi.
Dan dia akan menggunakan waktu itu untuk mengurus urusan.
Tang Yuxin berlari kembali ke gudang, dan tak lama kemudian, dia muncul dengan segenggam camilan.
Wanita sangat mirip anak-anak; cara mereka hidup tergantung pada bagaimana pria mereka merawat mereka.
Jika seorang wanita di usia tiga puluhan masih bertingkah seperti anak-anak, itu adalah bukti pria luar biasa yang dinikahinya.
Meskipun Tang Yuxin baru berusia dua puluhan dan ibu dari dua anak berusia tiga tahun, kadang-kadang sifatnya, selain citra wanita karier yang acuh tak acuh, menunjukkan bahwa Gu Ning telah memelihara sedikit kepolosan kekanak-kanakan dalam dirinya.
Di rumah, dia selalu lebih suka makan camilan dengan Xiaobai.
Seperti sekarang, jarang dia menikmati camilan seperti ini.
Itu membuktikan bahwa dia telah menyesuaikan pola pikirnya dan tidak seperti sebelumnya, tegang dan waspada seperti busur yang ditarik penuh, siap putus kapan saja.
Chapter 1044: Chapter 1025: The Impulse of a Woman Going Shopping Chapter 1044 -1025: The Impulse of a Woman Going Shopping This was yet another full shopping cart.
Was everything in this supermarket really that good, good enough to make her unable to stop buying?
Tang Yuxin placed the cart in front of Gu Ning.
“There’s one more chance, I’ll go again,” she said.
Before Gu Ning could finish speaking, she had already run off.
Gu Ning, with one hand pulling the overflowing shopping cart, didn’t know what to say anymore.
All he could do was push the cart to the checkout again.
...
There were already five or six bags of goods on top, but it was no issue, the cart he found this time was very large, and there was still room for Tang Yuxin to splurge a bit more.
By the time he finished paying for these items, Tang Yuxin had bought another pile of stuff.
Gu Ning wouldn’t say anything about what Tang Yuxin bought, nor would he ask; this cart was the same,
He simply took care of the payment and then played the role of a laborer, carrying things.
“Okay, we’ll come back tomorrow to buy more,” Tang Yuxin said with great enthusiasm, hands on her hips, having already planned out tomorrow’s itinerary.
Yet, after her show of bravado, she walked up to Gu Ning and, raising her face, tugged at Gu Ning’s sleeve.
“Is that okay?” she asked.
“Haven’t you already decided?” Gu Ning straightened her hair, which was all messed up, probably from not paying attention while shopping, causing her hairstyle to change.
Tang Yuxin joyfully played with Gu Ning’s fingers.
“I knew you would agree,” she said.
After she finished speaking, her stomach growled.
She touched her belly.
Ah, this was!
Hunger.
“Let’s go, we’ll eat something first,” Gu Ning checked the traffic around them, it was almost one o’clock, no wonder, even he felt a bit hungry by now, though his stomach was more disciplined, not crying out like Tang Yuxin’s.
Even though the car was filled with their purchases, if they were to cook now, it would probably be too late, and their lunch would turn into dinner.
Naturally, Tang Yuxin agreed as her stomach growled again.
Indeed, life is about movement.
Look at her, just a few laps around the supermarket and her stomach was hungrier than on an ordinary day.
Of course, she thought her appetite today would certainly be good.
Gu Ning took Tang Yuxin to one of the local renowned restaurants here.
Since it was past the typical lunch hour, there weren’t too many people, which made this place relatively famous locally.
Gu Ning had yet to take Tang Yuxin here, thinking she might like it if she grew weary of other foods.
Tang Yuxin touched her stomach.
“I’m starving.
Can I have a bowl of green vegetable tofu soup?” she asked.
Gu Ning apologetically shook his head.
“They really don’t have green vegetable tofu soup here, all they have is corn rib soup,” he explained.
Tang Yuxin leaned on the table, especially craving that green vegetable tofu soup and unable to have it, so all she could do was, well, quench her thirst with longing.
Gu Ning ordered several specialty dishes from the local area, and the way he effortlessly found places and ordered was a clear indication that his three years here weren’t for naught, as he possessed a deep understanding of the locale.
With such a guide familiar with the terrain, it was akin to having a great tour guide in tow.
After the dishes arrived, Tang Yuxin ate some but still seemed somewhat disinterested.
Gu Ning could tell she didn’t enjoy the meal, yet in the end, she ate quite a bit – hunger was persuasive.
Gu Ning shook his head; her peculiar character was indeed unique, but this was Tang Yuxin after all.
Perhaps there’s truth to the saying that every exceptional person has their particular passions, and that is simply part of their individuality.
Having finished the meal, Tang Yuxin didn’t have the energy to go shopping again.
Today alone, she had spent three to four hours just in the supermarket, leaving her legs feeling like jelly.
It was better to go back and take a substantial break, then continue the following day.
Gu Ning, once more behind the wheel, hauled Tang Yuxin and a massive load of purchases back home.
At the time of buying, it didn’t seem like much, but upon unpacking, there were directly seven to eight bags, along with several cases of mineral water, and whole boxes of milk and yogurt.
Gu Ning stored these items in a house; there were three packs of mineral water and five boxes of milk.
With both regular milk and yogurt available, Tang Yuxin, seeing Gu Ning not asking too many questions, didn’t elaborate further, though she did frown as if pondering why on earth she had bought so much, such heavy items.
Standing to the side, she occasionally shot dirty looks at her purchases, possibly feeling a bit ashamed, then promptly shut the door, adhering to the philosophy ‘out of sight, out of mind.’
“That…” she wanted to explain, yet didn’t know where to start.
As a woman in her forties, how could she make such a childish mistake?
“Can you understand the impulses of a woman on a shopping spree?”
“Yeah,” Gu Ning nodded, “You don’t need to explain, I understand.
Whatever you want to buy is fine.
If we can take it with us, we will.
If not, I’ll have a friend handle it.”
The embarrassment on Tang Yuxin’s face instantly vanished.
“Is that so…” She bit her finger, “Then let’s go again later, I still have lots of things I didn’t buy.”
“If you’re not tired, go ahead.”
Gu Ning stretched out his hand to touch the top of her head, “There’s a nice night market there when it gets dark.
If you can’t sleep tonight, we can take a walk there.
Just don’t stay out too late, didn’t you say you want to go shell-collecting early tomorrow?”
“Okay,” Tang Yuxin held out her hand and grasped Gu Ning’s, “Mr.
Gu, it’s a promise, no backing out.”
“I know,” Gu Ning shook his head, planning to deal with some things and then accompany her out later that night.
Anyway, with Tang Yuxin’s current mood, she wasn’t likely to go out without first resting a while and then taking a nap.
After waking up, she would be ready for another outing.
And he would use the time to take care of some business.
Tang Yuxin ran back to the storage room, and a short while later, she emerged clutching an armful of snacks.
Women are very much like children; the way they live depends on how their men nurture them.
If a woman in her thirties still acts like a child, it’s a testament to the exceptional man she married.
Although Tang Yuxin is only in her twenties and the mother of two three-year-old children, sometimes her nature, aside from the unintentionally forged image of an aloof career woman, shows that Gu Ning has nurtured a bit of childlike innocence in her.
At home, she always prefers to eat snacks with Xiaobai.
Just like now, it was rare for her to indulge in these treats.
It proved that she had adjusted her mindset and wasn’t like before, taut and on edge like a fully drawn bow, ready to snap at any second.
