"Let me take a look."

Wang Dahai grabbed her hand and saw several small red dots on the back of her hand, splashed by hot oil.

She pursed her lips tightly, and although her elegant nose twitched, the mistiness in her eyes clearly indicated that she wanted to cry but was holding it back.

Probably for fear of being laughed at by him.

"Pfft." Wang Dahai suddenly couldn't hold back and laughed.

Wu Qiangwei, who was on the verge of tears, could no longer contain herself after his laugh.

Tears dropped one after another, falling freely.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Nothing, I didn't laugh."

"You're laughing!"

"I really didn't, I just choked."

Wang Dahai hurriedly changed the subject, "Come on, quickly run it under water."

"I won't!"

"If you don't, it'll scar."

All women cherish their beauty, and these words indeed had an effect.

She stopped resisting and let Wang Dahai hold her hand under the running water.

"It's not bad, not many splashes. It should blister soon. Once it does, just prick it and it'll be fine."

"Will it hurt a lot?"

"Not too much."

She looked at the messy kitchen and said, "You can go out, I'm going to cook."

Her words clearly lacked confidence.

Wang Dahai knew she was embarrassed and that it wasn't a good time to tease her.

"Let me do it."

"No, I'll do it myself."

"How about this, you can give instructions from the side."

"Well... that works."

Wu Qiangwei's cheeks were red, aware that Wang Dahai was giving her a way out, and he knew it too.

Both were fully aware of each other's intentions, yet cooperated tacitly.

This made her feel slightly less ashamed.

Wang Dahai was originally trying to save her face, yet this woman seemed to really take herself for a culinary god.

Indeed, she began to give instructions firmly.

"Wait to add the vegetables."

"Add salt, you forgot the salt."

"Let it simmer more, the heat isn't enough!"

"Hurry and take it off the stove, or it'll burn!"

Wang Dahai gritted his teeth, continuously telling himself not to take it personally.

At long last, the final dish was ready, and the nagging noise in his ear finally ceased.

As they sat at the table looking at the lavish dishes, Wu Qiangwei nodded, "Hmm, you did pretty well."

"Heh."

"What's that 'heh' for?"

"Nothing, I just felt like 'heh'."

"Hmph!"

After dinner, blisters had formed on her hand.

Wang Dahai pricked them and applied iodine.

Her hand shook from the pain.

"There you go, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

Wang Dahai put down the iodine and checked the time—it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.

"I'm stepping out."

"Where to?"

"Big sister, do I need to report to you where I'm going on the weekend?"

Wu Qiangwei glared, "What did you just call me?"

"Ahem, Miss Wu."

"Hmph!"

The thing women are most sensitive about is their age.

Wu Qiangwei and Lin Wanqiu are the same age, both 30.

This age isn't considered old.

Besides, she looks after herself well, looking so youthful one might even mistake her for a university student.

Wang Dahai's offhand "big sister" almost made her crumble.

"I'm off." Wang Dahai grabbed his car keys and left.

Wu Qiangwei opened her mouth to say that he wasn't to use her car during his time off.

But the words didn't come out.

She knew that sometimes what she said could be hurtful.

Like the words she had almost said just now.

If she had said them, Wang Dahai would certainly have been angry, and they would have quarreled again.

Luckily, she restrained herself.

Yet, she was curious.

What was he up to?

Seeing a girlfriend?

Wang Dahai was off to see Liu Lin.

To return the car keys.

And incidentally, to apologize for the last time.

After going downstairs, he got into the car but didn't rush to start it.

He first dialed Liu Lin's number.

However...

After a few rings, the call was disconnected.

He was a bit pained.

The words he said that day were indeed a bit too much; he knew that.

But once the words were out, they couldn't be taken back.

All he could do was apologize.

But now, Liu Lin wasn't giving him a chance to apologize.

"Mrs. Liu, are you at home?"

No reply.

"I'm coming over to see you."

After sending the message, he didn't care whether she was home or not and drove straight there.

When he finally stopped downstairs, Wang Dahai picked up his phone, only to realize that Liu Lin had replied.

"What's the matter?"

He didn't respond and headed straight upstairs.

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door.

No one answered.

He looked through the peephole and saw darkness inside.

It seemed there was no one at home.

He turned to go downstairs and replied, "There's something I need to say in person."

She replied quickly this time, "I don't have time right now."

"Meeting with Mr. Liu?"

He finished typing the words but deleted them.

At a time like this, it was better not to say such things.

It might provoke her again.

"No problem, I'll wait for you."

"Then you wait."

After that, there was no more reply.

Wang Dahai sat in the car waiting until 8:30 pm, when Liu Lin finally replied, "Come pick me up at Peace Park."

"Alright."

He put down his phone and drove off.

There weren't many cars in the evening, and the journey that normally took forty minutes was completed by Wang Dahai in less than half an hour.

After parking at the park's car park, Wang Dahai picked up his phone, "I'm in the parking lot."

"I'm here too."

Huh?

Wang Dahai got out of the car and looked around, indeed spotting a figure under a streetlight.

"Mrs. Liu."

He waved.

Under the streetlight, Liu Lin in a pale blue long dress had a graceful figure that stirred the imagination.

She walked over, her long hair flowing, her slender body full of softness that made one want to hold her and cherish the fragrance.

A gust of wind blew, lifting her long dress and messing up her long hair, only to make her even more stunning and captivating.

As she approached, she noticed the car next to them and asked in surprise, "Whose car is that?"

"Miss Wu bought the car."

"She said it was inconvenient to always drive your car."

"Oh."

Liu Lin asked, "What did you want to see me for?"

Her tone was very cold, like speaking to a stranger.

Wang Dahai knew she was still angry.

And very angry at that.

Wang Dahai scratched his head and said, "Mrs. Liu, about last time..."

"What about last time?" Liu Lin looked into his eyes, very calm.

Wang Dahai knew well that he couldn't avoid this issue.

And he also understood that there was no conflict that couldn't be resolved.

If he couldn't appease her once, he'd try several times.

"Last time, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that."

"Oh."

Her reaction was still flat, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

"...Yes." He handed her the car keys.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave. I'm going home too."

She turned to leave, but Wang Dahai grabbed her wrist, saying, "Mrs. Liu, let me take you home."

"No need."

She tried to pull her hand back but couldn't.

Turning to look at Wang Dahai, she said, "Let go."

Wang Dahai didn't speak; the next second, he suddenly pulled Liu Lin into his arms and sealed her lips with an unyielding kiss.

Liu Lin was caught off guard at first, and by the time she reacted, she was already kissed to the point of dizziness.

"Let go!"

She pushed Wang Dahai away and pulled her mouth away, her breath heavy, her heart racing.

But Wang Dahai kissed her again, his large hands slipping under her skirt, touching her until she gasped and panted, her body turning hot, her legs weak.
