Tea.
Tan Pan Ting stood, and she poured wine into Gu Jiao Wen’s parents’ gla.s.ses.
‘Uncle, aunty,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘Drink a little wine to help digest dinner.’
Chen Ting Yu was pleased with her future daughter-in-law, and she was happy Gu Jiao Wen loved her future daughter-in-law.
Tan Pan Ting put the bottle of wine on the table. She picked up the warm teapot, and Gu Jiao Wen’s teacup then she poured tea for Gu Jiao Wen.
‘Jiao Wen, you’ll be driving,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘You should drink tea instead.’
‘Thank you,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
Tan Pan Ting let go of the teacup before Gu Jiao Wen’s hand touched the teacup. Warm tea spilt on his shirt and pants. She regretted it wasn’t hot tea.
‘Jiao Wen… I’m sorry… it’s an accident,’ Tan Pan Ting said innocently.
Tan Pan Ting bent over Gu Jiao Wen’s body. She grabbed the napkin, and wiped his shirt and pants hard.
From the other diners’ perspective, it looked like Tan Pan Ting was giving Gu Jiao Wen a hand job in public.
Gu Jiao Wen stood abruptly, and he gripped Tan Pan Ting’s wrist.
‘You did it on purpose,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
‘No… it’s an accident,’ Tan Pan Ting said.
Tan Pan Ting blinked consecutively to make herself cry, but her eyes were dry.
‘Tan Pan Ting!’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
Gu Jiao Wen gripped Tan Pan Ting’s wrist tighter, and the pain helped her cry.
‘Jiao Wen, I didn’t drop the warm tea on you on purpose,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘Jiao Wen, you’re hurting me. Let go of my wrist.’
‘Jiao Wen!’ Chen Ting Yu said. She was sad to see Tan Pan Ting cry. ‘Pan Ting didn’t do it on purpose. What are you doing?’
‘Nothing,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘Pan Ting soiled my clothes. I want to take her to the shops to help choose new clothes for me.’
‘If you only want to Pan Ting to go shopping with you to buy clothes, do you need to grip her wrist?’ Chen Ting Yu asked. ‘Don’t you know how to be gentle toward Pan Ting?’
Gu Jiao Wen let go of Tan Pan Ting’s wrist, and she ran out of tears.
‘Let’s go, my future darling wife,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
‘Jiao Wen… my wrist hurts,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘I don’t want to go shopping.’
‘Pan Ting, your legs are in good condition,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘You can use them to walk to the shops. Let’s go.’
‘Jiao Wen, what about our parents?’ Tan Pan Ting asked. ‘It’s rude of us to leave before our parents finish eating dinner.’
‘Jiao Wen, Pan Ting,’ Tan Zui Shi said. ‘You two go ahead and shop. Let us old folks stay here to eat dinner. It takes us old folks longer to digest at our age.’
‘Pan Ting, listen to your dad,’ Wen Xue Fang said.
‘Mum…’ Tan Pan Ting said.
‘Darling, let’s go,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
Gu Jiao Wen dragged Tan Pan Ting outside the hotel restaurant.
‘Mr Mental, what do you want?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.
Tan Pan Ting could endure acting like she wanted to marry Gu Jiao Wen in front of their parents. But she didn’t have enough endurance to keep acting in front of Gu Jiao Wen.
‘I want to go buy clothes,’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
‘Go buy clothes on your own,’ Tan Pan Ting said.
‘Are you saying you want me to go back to the restaurant to tell our parents you spilt tea on me on purpose and you don’t want to help me buy clothes?’ Gu Jiao Wen asked.
‘Nonsense,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘It was an accident.’
Gu Jiao Wen and Tan Pan Ting had a glaring match for a while.
‘Fine,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘You win this time.’
In a men’s clothing shop near the hotel restaurant, the shop a.s.sistants were chatting together. When they saw a handsome man dragging a beautiful woman into their shop, the shop a.s.sistants’ eyes zoomed in on handsome man’s wet pants.
‘Darling, I think you should buy several pants to leave in the car,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘I know how hard it is for you to control your bladder.’
The shop a.s.sistants coughed. They couldn’t stop looking at where Gu Jiao Wen’s pants was wet.
‘Tan Pan Ting!’ Gu Jiao Wen said.
‘Darling, I know it’s hard to admit you have a bladder problem,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘But you should listen to me, and book a doctor’s appointment to help treat your bladder problem. It’s not good for your health to hold in your urine.’
Tan Pan Ting acted like a loving girlfriend, and she chose a new pants for Gu Jiao Wen.
‘Darling, go change into new pants,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘I’ll wait for you.’
Gu Jiao Wen looked coldly at the pants in Tan Pan Ting’s hands.
‘Darling, it’s not good to wear wet pants all day,’ Tan Pan Ting said. ‘Do you need to go to the toilet? It would inconvenient the shop a.s.sistants if you wet your pants in their shop.’ She turned around to face a shop a.s.sistant. ‘Big sister, is there a toilet here?’
The shop a.s.sistant was intimidated by Gu Jiao Wen’s dagger to answer Tan Pan Ting’s question.
‘Darling, smile,’ Tan Pan Ting said. She pinched Gu Jiao Wen’s cheeks. ‘You’re scaring the shop a.s.sistants.’
Gu Jiao Wen thought in that moment if Tan Pan Ting was a man, she would look like a peac.o.c.k waving her tail.
Gu Jiao Wen held Tan Pan Ting’s waist, he pulled her body against his body and her smile disappeared.
‘Darling, you know a man’s weak bladder isn’t the only reason a man wets his pants,’ Gu Jiao Wen said next to Tan Pan Ting’s ear. ‘A man can also wet his pants when a woman tease his body with her body.’
The shop a.s.sistants winked at Tan Pan Ting.
‘Darling, have you forgotten how you dry humped me in the private tea room before,’ Gu Jiao Wen asked. ‘It’s your fault my pants are wet.’
‘Gu Jiao Wen, what nonsense are you saying?’ Tan Pan Ting asked.
‘Darling,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. He squeezed Tan Pan Ting’s bottom. ‘There is no reason for you to suspect I have a mistress. You don’t have to follow me day and night to seduce me at every opportunity. Outside of work, all my energy are reserved to satisfy you.’
‘Gu Jiao Wen!’ Tan Pan Ting said.
If Tan Pan Ting wasn’t caged between Gu Jiao Wen’s arms, she would have slapped his despicable mouth.
Gu Jiao Wen blew on Tan Pan Ting’s neck.
‘Darling, last night when did you o.r.g.a.s.m the longest?’ Gu Jiao Wen asked. ‘Was it the first time or the seventh time?’
The shop a.s.sistants were impressed with Gu Jiao Wen’s stamina.
‘Gu Jiao Wen, let me go,’ Tan Pan Ting said.
‘Are you sure?’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘Darling, you’re so wet. Do you want me again?’
‘It’s your pants that is wet, you cad,’ Tan Pan Ting said.
‘Darling you’re right,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘I wet my pants again because of you.’
‘Gu Jiao Wen!’ Tan Pan Ting said and bit Gu Jiao Wen’s neck.
Gu Jiao Wen let go of Tan Pan Ting and he smiled.
‘Darling, I know it’s hard for you to control your libido,’ Gu Jiao Wen said. ‘But we’re in public. Wait a little longer, and I’ll satisfy you.’
Gu Jiao Wen acted like he couldn’t see Tan Pan Ting’s angry face. He grabbed the pants in Tan Pan Ting’s hands, and he walked into the change room.
Tan Pan Ting couldn’t bear the shop a.s.sistants’ curious stares at her. She walked out of the shop, and she admitted Gu Jiao Wen won another battle, but he didn’t win the war.
