Insufficient balance

  Qin Tian saw Xiao Mei's obvious disbelieving expression and didn't explain, instead smiling slightly and continuing to feel around on Xiao Mei's leg.

  "Okay, husband, stop touching me, it's so itchy. I'm still driving, even if you're not afraid of getting into an accident, I am. Be good and don't distract me, we're on the highway."

  Xiao Mei's heart was stirred by Qin Tian's touch, and she felt a flame rising from within. Afraid that something might happen, she hastily spoke out to stop him.

  Qin Tian listened to Xiao Mei's words and obediently sat down in the chair. Although he wasn't afraid, with his skills, even if they crashed, he could escape with Xiao Mei in the instant the two cars collided, and absolutely wouldn't let her get hurt. But Xiao Mei didn't know that, and even if Qin Tian explained it to her, she still wouldn't believe him. So Qin Tian was too lazy to explain and just sat obediently in the chair.

  Xiao Mei saw that Qin Tian's hands were honest, and she also let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She concentrated on driving the car, and for a while, the car fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind outside the window.

  Qin Tian felt stifled in the car and broke the silence by saying something unnecessary.

  "Good wife, your husband's name is Qin Tian, what's yours? You can't not know your own wife's name, that would be too embarrassing to say out loud."

  "Haha, I thought you wouldn't ask that, Qin Tian. Someone remembers, good husband, your wife's name is Xiao Mei, don't forget it."

  Xiao Mei heard Qin Tian's words and smiled for a while before speaking.

  "Xiao Mei, hehe, people are like their names, indeed very charming, very suitable for your name."

  Qin Tian pretended to have heard the name for the first time and said with a sly smile, looking at him, he was thinking of nothing good.

  "Hmm!"

  Xiao Mei saw Qin Tian's sly smile, her face couldn't help but turn red, she let out a soft hum, turned her head away, focusing on driving and ignoring Qin Tian.

  Seeing Xiao Mei's adorable appearance, Qin Tian's laughter grew louder, and the car was filled with his echoing laughter.

  The car had been driving on the road for a short while when it arrived at a high-end villa complex. Looking at those small villas, Qin Tian felt a little envious and thought to himself, "Now that I'm not lacking in money, should I buy a villa for my parents? After all, the air quality where they live now isn't very good, or else my father wouldn't have gotten nasopharyngeal cancer."

  It was a series of beeping sounds that pulled Qin Tian out of his contemplation, and it turned out they had arrived at the entrance. Xiao Mei was gesturing to the gatekeeper to open the door, and the gatekeeper came over to confirm before bowing to Xiao Mei and opening the doors.

  Qin Tian saw how formal the guard was being and said.

  "It seems that the security guards here are quite responsible, every household has to confirm once, how can they be afraid of someone sneaking in?"

  "Of course, after all, the houses here are either secret residences of high-ranking officials or mistresses being kept by some rich men, or newly-rich people who have made their fortunes overnight. They naturally demand strict security measures, so every car that enters needs to be verified."

  "This place you're living in is really something, no way, can't live here, or else others will think you're someone's mistress."

  Qin Tian heard Xiao Mei's words and immediately became very displeased. He didn't want his woman living here.

  "Hehe, I actually wanted to buy one by the Nai River, but that place is extremely expensive. A decent villa would cost at least tens of millions, and a top-notch one would be at least 50 million. That's half my net worth! I couldn't afford it, so I settled for buying one here instead, which was only around 30 million."

  "Hehe, wife, don't worry about the future, I promise you will live a good life."

  Xiao Mei heard Qin Tian's words and smiled, not taking it to heart. She thought he was just comforting her, but didn't know that it would soon become a reality.

  After entering the house, Xiao Mei said to Qin Tian

  "Please sit down, I'll go change my clothes. By the way, it's getting late, what would you like to eat, dear? I'll make something for you."

  "Oh? You can still cook?"

  Qin Tian pretended to be surprised even though he clearly knew that Xiao Mei could cook.

  "Hmm, mine is a woman who can excel in both the living room and the kitchen, cooking is just a small matter, come on, what do you want to eat? Let me check if we have it in the fridge, if not, I'll go out and buy it."

  Xiao Mei said proudly and asked Qin Tian on the side.

  "No need, wife. You're overworked today, just take a rest first and let your husband show off his skills, let you taste your husband's craftsmanship."

  "Can you cook?"

  This time it was Xiao Mei's turn to be shocked. She stared at Qin Tian with wide eyes, looking like she had discovered a prehistoric animal.

  "Hehe, go change your clothes quickly, you'll know when you come down, don't worry, it won't kill you, isn't there still you? I didn't do well, let you do it instead."

  Qin Tian opened the refrigerator and took a look at what was inside, saying casually to Xiao Mei.

  Xiao Mei thought for a moment and also felt that way. When Qin Tian was no longer able to do it, she could do it herself, which would not affect Qin Tian's enthusiasm. She then went upstairs to change her clothes.

  Qin Tian had chosen the ingredients and arrived at the kitchen, where he saw the facilities inside. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration - it was indeed a villa, with a kitchen that rivaled those found in restaurants. There were eight stoves lined up in a row. Due to the urgency of time, Qin Tian didn't have the luxury to admire further. He wanted to prepare dinner before Xiao Mei changed into her new clothes and give her a surprise. So, he quickly turned on all eight stoves at once.

  With Qin Tian's master-level culinary skills, controlling eight stoves was a piece of cake. Although he had never actually operated them before, a master is a master after all. As soon as Qin Tian entered the kitchen, it was as if he had been a chef for decades. Whether it was a knife or a spatula, he used them with ease and fluidity, his movements not only fast but also elegant and natural. The way he moved with such familiarity and ease was like a dance, both efficient and visually pleasing.

  All that was seen was the kitchen knife flashing in Qin Tian's hand, and with just a few strokes, some raw meat had been cut up. Not even the sound of the knife hitting the chopping board could be heard, showing off Qin Tian's high level of knife skills.

  Qin Tian put the knife that had cut meat into water, and picked up a new knife to chop vegetables, so as not to let the vegetables carry any greasy residue from the meat.

  After chopping the vegetables, he was ready to stir-fry. Qin Tian's figure flashed in the kitchen, back and forth between the eight stoves, flipping and stirring continuously, his movements swift and ghostly. If Xiao Mei saw him, she would definitely think she had seen a ghost. With eight stoves, it was quick work, and before long, the dishes were almost done. Qin Tian turned off the flames one by one, carried the dishes to the table, and waited for Xiao Mei to come down and eat.

  Four cold dishes and four hot dishes were neatly arranged on the dining table. Four hot dishes, three meat and one vegetarian; four cold dishes, three vegetarian and one meat; all eight dishes looked exquisite. Red chili peppers, green vegetables, white and red meat... The colors were rich but not chaotic, and the combination was appetizing. Not to mention the aroma that teased people's taste buds.

  These dishes are exquisite, a kind of medicinal cuisine that focuses on nourishment, and are most suitable for women. Eating them not only won't make you fat, but also has the effect of beauty and skin care, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency. Qin Tian saw Xiao Mei recently, her body was weak, and even now her walking posture is still very strange, so he specially prepared these dishes for her to nourish herself well.

  Xiao Mei was upstairs thinking about what to wear when she smelled the fragrance, a wave of nose-piercing aroma came over, the smell was so nostalgic that Xiao Mei felt her saliva uncontrollably drooling, and her stomach growled with hunger as if she hadn't eaten for three days. After carefully sniffing again, she found that the fragrance came from downstairs, and she lost interest in changing clothes, rushing down to the floor without even putting on shoes.
