The car had been consistently moving on a slow pace.
Kristina tilted her head to the side. "Aren't we going to have dinner? There is no restaurant in this street." She looked at her surroundings outside the vehicle's window.
"I'll cook some lunch for you at home. What do you want to eat today? Sweet and sour fish or braised pork ribs?" Albert reached out to Kristina and pulled her close. Once she rested her head on his shoulder, he gently pinched her cheek with his large hand.
The affection on his gaze was quite evident. Albert couldn't help but smile as he looked at Kristina. It was already a habit of his to let her lean on his shoulder. It gave him a sense of assurance that she could rely on him.
Kristina, who was already used to him being like this, turned around and leaned on him. She lifted her feet and rested them by the car window while she closed her eyes casually.
"I think I'd like to have braised pork ribs today," she answered.
"Okay, I'll cook it for you then," Albert said. He sat as still as he could so that Kristina could lean comfortably against him. He then ordered the driver, "Go to Lanting Road."
"Lanting Road? Isn't that a little far? We won't be able to return to work this afternoon if we go there. That's fine with me, but your busy schedule can't afford it. Are you not going to renovate t
rs. And you, once they arrive, you should greet Nina in unison, okay?" The sight made it look like he was a teacher standing in front of his students. The two rows of servants in front of him listened attentively to his orders.
Jake asked, "Sir, will we be only greeting Mrs. Shi? What about Mr. Shi?" His brows furrowed in confusion.
Sam frowned at the question. "Why should we welcome him?" He had a disgusted look on his face once John was mentioned, but then it transformed to a gentle smile as soon as he thought of Nina. "You just need to welcome Nina. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone chorused and bowed down in unison.
It was half past six in the evening when the two finally arrived.
Nina appeared by the gate of the villa holding John's arm. The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by a deafening welcome.
"Welcome, Mrs. Shi."
Nina was somewhat taken aback from the scene. Her eyes grew wide for a split second before calming down. She titled her head to the side and whispered in John's ear, "Do you ever lose your hearing whenever you hear this deafening sound every time you come back?"
"No, I haven't." John had a blank expression on his face.
In fact, he had never received this kind of treatment.
The sudden display of enthusiasm by the servants towards Nina made him uncomfortable.
