Chapter 36

Back home, Little Floss brought a bunch of children and surrounded the two of them. Looking at the little kittens that had grown so big, Quan Meng realized she had not been home for a long time.

“Little Floss, how have you been?” Quan Meng squatted on the ground, picked up Little Floss, and held her in her arms. Little Floss was exceptionally cooperative, affectionately rubbing her head against Quan Meng. Perhaps she was a little too excited as she missed Quan Meng too much. Her claws scratched Quan Meng once.

Gasp! Quan Meng took a deep breath, and two red lines appeared on Quan Meng’s white arms.

“Little Floss!” Huo Ling chided, causing Little Floss to shrink back in fear.

“I’m fine. I’m not bleeding.” Quan Meng hurriedly comforted Little Floss. Little Floss was so pleased that she kept purring.

“Did you give them names?” Quan Meng suddenly thought of this question as she was stroking the cat happily.

“Big White, Little White, Big Black, Little Black.” Huo Ling poured himself a glass of water. The buttons on his sleeves were unbuttoned and his sleeves were rolled up. A few buttons near his collar were also unbuttoned, revealing some tight pectoral muscles. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he drank, making him look particularly attractive.

Quan Meng was shocked by her own thoughts. She didn’t expect herself to be so lecherous. Then, she thought about that morning in the ward when she and Huo Ling slept head to head, and her face turned even redder.

“How flippant. I’m going to cook.” Quan Meng immediately put down Little Floss and turned to the kitchen stiffly.

Quan Meng made some porridge and cooked some vegetables, which she thought of having for dinner. However, thinking of Huo Ling’s previous taste preference, she cooked an extra dish of braised pork.

“It’s time to eat!” Quan Meng placed the dishes on the table and saw Huo Ling holding Little Floss and cutting her nails.

Little Floss was also very obedient. She remained in Huo Ling’s arms without moving, allowing Huo Ling to do as he pleased.

As Quan Meng watched this heartwarming scene, she suddenly thought that if she had a baby with Huo Ling, she would cook every day after work while Huo Ling play with the baby.

Then their baby would definitely have big, dewy eyes like hers, a high nose bridge like Huo Ling’s, and a cute little mouth. His personality must not resemble Huo Ling’s though. That would not be cute at all.

Quan Meng looked at the man and cat on the sofa and laughed foolishly.

“What are you laughing at?” Huo Ling knocked Quan Meng’s head, causing her to cry out in pain.

“The child’s personality definitely must not resemble Huo Ling’s!” Quan Meng thought as she rubbed her head.

“I made your favorite braised pork. Have some,” Quan Meng turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

“Didn’t I say to cook light dishes?” Although Huo Ling said that, he still swallowed his saliva when he saw the mouth-watering fragrant braised pork and turned his head away awkwardly.

Although he didn’t want to admit it at all, not being able to eat Quan Meng’s cooking for the past few days had indeed made him a little grouchy.

Although he sounded as if he despised the food, Huo Ling’s eyes were attracted to the braised pork after he started eating. Within a short while, he had eaten more than half of it. Then, he noticed Quan Meng’s gaze. He slowly pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and picked up the chopsticks to take a small bite of the green vegetables.

Quan Meng’s cooking was delicious, and she made just enough for two people. It didn’t take long for them to finish their meal.

After dinner, Quan Meng brought her drawing tools to the study room.

Now that she was fine, she would have to go back to work. Although she wasn’t short of money now, Shan Shi Jewelry had helped her when she was in trouble, so she couldn’t be ungrateful. However, after resting for so long, she was naturally a little rusty, so she took out the earlier design sketches to practice.

There was a ring in the early design stage on the draft. This was designed by Quan Meng for herself. She had originally wanted to wear it at her wedding ceremony, but now she had haphazardly registered her marriage thoughtlessly.

Huo Ling was also flipping through some documents in the study. The sheets of paper rustled from time to time as they were flipped. Quan Meng raised her head to look at Huo Ling and then lowered her head again.

Huo Ling was considered an outstanding talent in every aspect, but he didn’t like her. The reason Quan Meng married him back then was that he was Liang Ye’s young uncle.

Quan Meng shook her head and focused on the sketch on the drawing board again. She picked up a pencil and kept making revisions.

Huo Ling had felt Quan Meng’s gaze. The two of them sat opposite each other. He watched as Quan Meng drew and walked over subconsciously.

“What are you drawing?” Huo Ling said.

“It’s nothing. I’m just practicing.” It was a simple response from Quan Meng. It was difficult for her to be distracted by other things when she was designing, making it hard for her to multitask.

However, Huo Ling’s sharp eyes caught a few small words written in the corner of the paper, “Dream Wedding Ring.”

Huo Ling looked at the sketch and then at Quan Meng. In the end, he did not say anything and turned to leave.
