Imperfect Desires

777 Another Flavor

Although Zhao Huan had been very upset with both Xin Zimen and Wen Ai for pulling on their stunt on her wedding day, she still couldn't stay mad at them for long. She didn't hold grudges. With her personality, it was impossible to have any of those malicious thoughts like taking revenge.

That's why Wen Ai used to call her foolishly naive.

However, she still took a while to come around. She only came to meet both of them when she heard about Wen Ai's pregnancy but that was only when Wen Ai was close to giving birth. Before that, no one had even heard anything about her pregnancy. The news was so closely guarded that even though they were supposedly part of the same family, she felt like she was the last one to learn about it.

But surprisingly, she was the first person to even learn about it from the Xin family. Zhao Huan had very mixed feelings about it.

When she arrived at their home, she could hear their voices from the door. That's how loud this pair of husband and wife were.

"Yuck! Yuck! I hate this strawberry flavor!" she heard Wen Ai's voice. "I want chocolate. I want chocolate!"

"You asked for the strawberry flavor," replied Xin Zimen exasperatedly. "And now you're complaining."

"Ah-Xin, I love strawberry. You know it already!" she said. "But it seems our son isn't a fan of strawberries."

Xin Zimen groaned in annoyance, "At this point, I think you're just using our son to make me work for you."

"I would never do that," said Wen Ai in a soft voice but from her position, even Zhao Huan could see the insincerity in her eyes. "Can't you do this much for me and your son?"

Xin Zimen gave her a look, "There is a thing called blackmailing. Then there is a thing called emotional blackmailing. What you just did now is called making someone dance on your fingers!"

Wen Ai made an emotional face, "I never thought our relationship would come at this juncture just because of ice cream. Is it so difficult to get me another flavor?"

Xin Zimen shook his head saying, "No, it's not difficult at all. There are at most 20 people in this house who would run to get you that ice cream flavor. They just need to be given one order. But the problem is that you don't want them to do it. You want your husband to do it instead." historical

Wen Ai smiled at him innocently, "As the baby's father, you should be showing how much you love our son. Put some effort into it. Don't do things so halfheartedly. Would you love our son so halfheartedly as well?"

Xin Zimen squinted his eyes at the woman who had been ordering him around for months now and clenched his hands into fists. "I'm doing my best here. I always run to get what you want and whenever you want it. What are you doing?"

Xin Zimen sighed out, "Why do I feel like you've been treating me like a worker all this while just because you didn't get to beat someone in a long while?"

Wen Ai avoided her eyes and cleared her throat saying, "That's definitely not true. How can I do that to my lovely husband?"

Xin Zimed pointed at her, "There! That's exactly what you're doing! You would never call me your lovely husband unless you're guilty! Caught you!"

Wen Ai grinned at him sheepishly, "It might have been my intention at first but right now, I'm telling you the truth. I really can't eat the strawberry ice cream. I want chocolate. I want chocolate. I want a lot of chocolate with lots of chocolate chips!"

Xin Zimen closed his eyes for a while before he stood up saying, "Promise me you won't change the flavor again."

"I won't," Wen Ai swore as she raised her three fingers to show her conviction.

To be honest, Xin Zimen didn't believe her even for a minute. His wife's personality had always been quirky but pregnancy enhanced that quirkiness to a whole new level. To the point that even he was getting overwhelmed by it now.

"Take care of yourself," said Xin Zimen before turning to leave. "I'll bring your ice cream as soon as possible."

"There is no hurry," she called out from behind. "I can wait a bit so drive safely. Don't go over the speed limit."

Xin Zimen looked back at her and smiled, "Yes, boss!" Seeing her smile in satisfaction, he shook his head and looked up. When he noticed Zhao Huan leaning against the doorframe who knew since when, he scratched his head awkwardly, "Sister Huan, when did you come?"

"Just a while ago," she replied with a smile she couldn't control right now. She had heard a lot about their marriage in the past year. But seeing it was a completely different thing. Because they really surprised her. Even though they both had been arguing all this while, all she saw was their love for each other. Looking at Xin Zimen, she added, "I always thought our Xiao Zi is a very quiet person but a little cold. Who knew you're such a warm family man?"

Xin Zimen felt embarrassed to hear that and Zhao Huan found his reaction amusing. How could she not? He looked adorable right now. She didn't even know he was capable of such cuteness. Today really changed her views about not just their relationship but also about them individually.

"Since you're here, spend some time with Wen Ai," said Xin Zimen trying to avoid the topic. "I'll be right back. Don't leave before I come back."

"I'll be waiting," said Zhao Huan and watched him leaving in a hurry.
