As soon as I opened the shopping app, he put his long finger on my hand. “I’m going to use it now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up at him and didn’t understand what he meant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He paused and continued, “go out with me and buy one.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I want to work.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I refused decisively. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to have guessed that I would say that. He said quickly, “I’ll give you more time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew Sean would never give up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could do it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was only ten o’clock when I saw the time. If I went out now, Ming would be here when I came back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean drove me to a separate store not far from the studio. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I went in, I found that this was a shop selling expensive tableware. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The tableware inside was placed one by one according to the series. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Sean coming in, a female manager immediately greeted him. “President Jessop, what do you want to see today?” When she saw me, she said, “do you bring your wife to choose tableware today?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the manager finished, I saw Sean smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, I’m an employee of President Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hastened to explain to the manager lest she misunderstood. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t seem to be in a bad mood after hearing it. He didn’t explain and said to the manager, “I want to buy a pair of coffee cups.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A pair. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even a fool knew what he meant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The manager nodded, “I see!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t need a coffee cup.” I looked at Sean and explained to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“This is employee benefits.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean said casually. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
By this time, the manager had asked the clerk to bring three sets of coffee cups. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two of them were white. The other was black and red. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They were very visible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The design of these three coffee cups wes very simple. Only a very small feature could show that they were a pair of cups. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Which do you like?” Sean looked at me and asked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I’ll just use a mug. It’s a waste to use such a high-grade bone china cup for me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said calmly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought bone china cups were for rich ladies to drink afternoon tea. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I refused, Sean put his hand on the black and red coffee cups and asked, “how about this pair?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, you decide.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood by and said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I like it.” Sean put his hand on the set of black and red coffee cups. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The manager quickly praised him, “President Jessop, you have good taste. This is our new product this year, and it’s a limited edition.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said as she asked the waiter to pack it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean asked me after the two cups were taken, “what else do you need? I will buy them together today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, President Jessop.” I said without hesitation, “I will go back after this project is finished. I don’t need to buy anything.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he heard what I said, he became obviously in a bad mood. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His dark eyes looked at me and he was a little depressed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a long time he said, “let’s talk about it later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The manager seemed to see Sean and I were in a bad mood so she didn’t dare to get close. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She stood far away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean and I took a cursory look at this huge store. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To be honest, the porcelain in this shop was very nice. Most of them were white and decorated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They looked gorgeous. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it was before, I would have bought a lot and kept them at home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a pity it was over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Sean and I went to the counter to pay, the set of cups had been packed and put into the bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We paid. The manager handed us two cups and said, “using a set of cups means two people will be together for a lifetime.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, remember to give it to your wife.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said coldly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The manager looked a little embarrassed and she didn’t speak again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Actually, I wondered why people didn’t know that Sean’s wife was Cindy in York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now that they knew it, did they mean they thought it was normal for rich people to cheat? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On our way back to the studio, Sean asked me, “what would you like for lunch?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finally, he asked me this question. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said decisively, “Ming will bring it to the studio.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then he won’t have to send it later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean answered right away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The air in the car was getting cold. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now that he said that, I said, “President Jessop, what do you want to do? You have a wife and I’m not your ex girlfriend. Why are you pestering me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s fingers were on the steering wheel and he looked ahead. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t answer me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the car stopped at a restaurant, he looked at me and said, “I don’t care who you are. I think you are you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, he got out of the car and walked quickly to my side and opened the copilot’s door for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment and got out of the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was a taxi coming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stopped the taxi and got on directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t stop me but stood by and looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t see his face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went back to the studio. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It wasn’t long before Ming came. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He still took a big bento box. He came in and looked around and asked me, “where is he?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He was taking me to lunch. I took a taxi myself and came back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I finished, I found Ming’s face a little disappointed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He set some lunch boxes on the table. I could smell the food. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat down and looked at the four dishes in front of me. I couldn’t help but swallow, “Ming, your food is delicious at first sight. I can’t leave it anymore.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming looked a little frustrated. “I’m a man, but I cook to keep you from leaving me. I sound like a failure.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite first. “This is what no other man has.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming knew more than cooking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took good care of me. I didn’t seem to have to force myself to grow at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t think Sean would come back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But as soon as I ate, the door of the studio was opened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked back and saw Sean standing at the door. When he saw Ming and me, his deep eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The corner of his mouth moved. “Uncle, you are so considerate.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming saw Sean. This time he didn’t look happy either. “I cook for the woman I love.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect ming to be outspoken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean came in. I had my back to him and could feel him walking behind me. Before I looked back, I felt his palm fall on my shoulder and he said, “uncle, I just want to tell you that I intend to pursue Becky formally.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood up as he spoke. I pushed his hand off my shoulder and walked up to Ming and said coldly, “I don’t accept the pursuit of a husband with a wife.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
