“You sneakily checked my WeChat messages?” Luosang frowned, feeling a little unhappy as well.
“What do you mean by ‘sneakily?’ You’re my woman, so I have good reason to check your WeChat messages,” said Nian Junting coldly. “You should let me do it, unless there’s something in your WeChat that you can’t let me know.”
“Even married couples have the right of privacy, okay? I never checked your phone.” Luosang was angry.
“I’ll let you check my phone anytime you want to. I’ve never chatted with any other woman, except for work,” said Nian Junting adamantly. “Not to mention buying shoes for other women. I’ve given you chances, and I’ve warned you not to give gifts to other men. However, you still tried to do it.”
Luosang closed her eyes to calm herself down, then said, “Chi Shengxu asked me for a gift. I agreed to buy him a gift because he and his mother helped me during Christmas. I see him as a friend, and he sees me as that, too. Nothing inappropriate is ever going on between us. That’s why I agreed to buy him a gift.”
“If nothing appropriate is going on, why did you keep it secret from me then? I’ve been waiting for you to tell me the truth, but you didn’t. You were guilty.” Nian Junting stared at her with sharp eyes.
“Am I such a half-hearted woman in your mind?” Luosang felt hurt and was enraged. “Would you let me buy him shoes if I told you the truth?”
“Of course not. Have you forgotten what I said before? Except for your dad, you’re not allowed to buy gifts for any other man, especially shoes. Shoes will not only keep feet warm but also hearts. Do you know how many acupuncture points people have on their feet? Those acupuncture points are dominating human bodies, circulating the blood and strength, connecting internal organs. Some people catch a cold easily, because the coldness has been entering their bodies from the bottoms of their feet. That’s why we should keep our feet warm. Feet are the second heart of a human being. Buying someone shoes means you care about that person, and you don’t want him to catch cold. You see, you care about him so much. This is very meaningful,” Nian Junting complained.
Luosang was angry at first, but then she was utterly confused by all the feet, acupuncture points, coldness, and internal organs. How could a pair of shoes be related with so many weird terms? What was wrong with him? He wasn’t studying Chinese medicine.
“You see,” Luosang felt especially helpless as she continued, “this is why I didn’t tell you about it. I didn’t want you to misunderstand. You’ve been overthinking.”
“I’m telling the truth. You are having an inappropriate relations.h.i.+p with Chi Shengxu,” Nian Junting said through clenched teeth.
Luosang didn’t argue with him but took out her phone to check Chi Shengxu’s message, as she wanted to know what he said that made Nian Junting have such a huge misunderstanding. However, she accessed her WeChat and saw no message from Chi Shengxu. She couldn’t even find Chi Shengxu in her contact list. Luosang raised her phone and asked, “You deleted him?”
The look in her eyes suddenly intensified, as if a storm was coming. Nian Junting felt a little unconfident for some reason, but still, he nodded and responded, “Yes, I deleted him.”
Luosang instantly burned up. She was furious. Actually, she had never been so angry. “You’re such a bossy and unreasonable man! You didn’t only delete the message but also deleted him from my contact list! This is my phone, and he’s my friend. What made you think you could do that!?”
“Because I’m your boyfriend, your fiance, and I’m about to become your husband.” Nian Junting was angry as well, because Luosang described him with such awful words. “You actually said that about me because of Chi Shengxu. In your heart, is he more important than I am? Is this because he helped you at Christmas while I didn’t show up? In fact, that has been a heart knot of yours, hasn’t it?”
