Chapter 70: 070, Fragrant warning: Call husband!
Just as Su Yanyan was leaving, Auntie Yang emerged from the house, “Finally found it. Xiaowei, hurry up and call for a courier to send the gown over to Miss Su.”
Xiaowei: “Okay.”
“Courier?” Su Yanyan raised an eyebrow, “You want to send a multi-thousand dollar gown by courier? If it gets lost along the way, can you afford to pay for it? Even if it doesn’t get lost, if it gets dirty, or wrinkled and she gets upset can you bear the responsibility? She’s not as easygoing as I am.”
Auntie Yang and Xiaowei looked at each other.
“You should deliver it yourself.” Su Yanyan pointed to Xiaowei, “If anything goes wrong, you’ll be the one to answer to.”
“Okay, Miss Su.” Xiaowei could only comply.

On the other side, after breakfast, Huo Jingshen suggested moving back to the Imperial Court villa.
Lady Huo was averse to the idea at first but decided to agree realizing that sound proofing in this old house wasn’t quite good, which could make intimate moments slightly awkward for the young couple.
Especially since her daughter-in-law is young and bashful. She must have felt too embarrassed to be amorous after Lady Huo’s casual comment yesterday; hence why it was so quiet last night. They probably didn’t enjoy themselves ’ ahem.
Thus, for the sake of holding her great-grandchild soon, Lady Huo weighed her options and agreed.
Huo Jingshen drove back to the Imperial Court villa.
As soon as they entered through the large gate, a running black shadow could be seen in the distance.
“Go tie up the dog!” Su Wanwan promptly ordered.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “KO doesn’t bite.”
“No, I’m afraid of dogs.” Su Wanwan admitted somewhat abashed.
The black Mu Shang car stopped in the garage. By then, KO was already excitedly dashing around the vehicle. Its resonant, excited barks were audible even through the car windows.
“Move it away quickly!”
Su Wanwan urged restlessly.
Huo Jingshen looked at her calmly and then asked unexpectedly, “What did you call me?” 1
“Huh?”
“Call me ‘hubby’.”
Su Wanwan was speechless, “Aren’t you being juvenile?”
But Huo Jingshen remained impassive as his dark pupils narrowed, “Will you call me or not?”
Su Wanwan glared at him intensely.
Immature brat!
She won’t call him!
“Ungrateful wench.” Huo Jingshen figured, this little girl needed some proper disciplining.
When she needed him, she’d sweetly called him “hubby” and acted coquettishly. But when she didn’t need him, she’d “you” and “you” him with no sense of courtesy. As his wife, she didn’t seem to have any sense of self-awareness. Thinking so, his face suddenly hardened, and his tone turned strict and dominant, “I am your husband. You should call me ‘hubby’, or ‘Jingshen’, be it in public or private. If you want to call me ‘baby’, ‘dear’, or anything more romantic, I can accept that too.”
Chills ran down Su Wanwan’s spine on hearing this.
Baby?
Dear?
She’d rather get bitten by a dog!
Huo Jingshen watched her silently.
The little girl seemed somewhat unconvinced?
Good.
He suddenly stretched out his arm to push open the car’s passenger door.
But halfway through, Su Wanwan caught him.
Looking at Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan coughed twice and then reluctantly called out, “Hubby.”
Hmm, as expected, it was both crispy, soft, and…
Before he could savor the moment, Su Wanwan pushed his arm several times, growing impatient, “Hurry up! I’ve already called you! Quickly tie up the dog!” Huo Jingshen:
Su Wanwan glared at him, “Hurry up!”
Huo Jingshen again:”…”
Forget it.
Once will lead to twice.
The more she needs to call him, the sooner she’d get used to it.
With a raised eyebrow, Huo Jingshen finally exited the car.
Fuming, Su Wanwan sat in the car, watching the looming black-furred monster pounce at him.
But before it could even touch his suit trousers, Huo Jingshen lifted a hand, and the once jubilant German Shepherd instantly calmed down, resorting to crouching in front of him like a playful dog, wagging its big tongue playfully. HUO Jingshen bent over, stroked its furry head a couple of times, then walked off towards the back of the yard, KO trailing behind.
Su Wanwan immediately seized this chance to get out of the car and dash into the villa.

Huo Jingshen lead KO into its kennel, fitted its collar around its neck, and tied the other end to a pillar.
Just as he was about to leave…
“Awwoooo!” KO howled.
As if asking: Why do I have to be tied up in the doghouse every time the female owner comes home?
Poor doggie!
Huo Jingshen stopped, turned back, and looked at its glowing black eyes, “Your mom doesn’t like you.”
“Awwoooo!” KO howled mournfully again.
After Huo Jingshen left for the company, Su Wanwan started to feel bored. With their wedding to be held the next day, she called the driving school to schedule a lesson, hoping to get her driving license before school started. Then she received a call from Qiao Zixin, asking why she hadn’t accepted her WeChat friend request.
Su Wanwan had indeed forgotten about this, so she quickly replied, “I’ve been too busy the last few days and forgot. You want to treat me to a meal, right? Let’s do it tonight.”
“Sure, sure.” Qiao Zixin excitedly agreed.
After adding her on WeChat, Qiao Zixin immediately sent her the restaurant’s address.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Su Wanwan arrived for the appointment. It was a French restaurant situated on the top floor of a commercial building located in a prime area.
The waiter led her to the reserved booth. Su Wanwan was shocked when she saw where they would be dining.
Has my cousin struck it rich?
It was a window-side table in a revolving restaurant. Dining here allowed you to overlook the entire landscape of Nancheng. Such a dining spot usually required a reservation far in advance and had high service charges.
Not long after Su Wanwan sat down, Qiao Zixin arrived..
