Chapter 16 Simple Days

Considering he’s such a well-off man, she glanced around and asked, "Edwin，what business did you do before??" Edwin Carter said, "Almost all the businesses from which I can make money." H’s telling the truth, hotel catering, real estate, tourism, film and television companies, and electronic technology and so on, in all the profitable business of Shengtian Group he has dabbled in and performed a very good job. She did not know the truth but thought he’s giving a perfunctory answer to her, so she didn’t ask again. Edwin Carter was busy. After sitting in the car, he opened his laptop and started doing some work, although his mobile phone on the side was ringing over and over again. It’s just in the ten minutes of their stay in the car, he approximately has answered more than ten phone calls. Edwin Carter all answered in English fluently. When Jane was in college, she had passed CET (College English Test)-6, but she didn’t understand the business terms that Edwin Carter spok. She could vaguely hear him giving some orders. His language is sharp, and his decision is quick and cruel. It’s been just two years since the Innovative technology has established. Its business has not reached abroad yet. Jane thinks that Edwin Carter is managing his own business. After about half an hour or so, Edwin Carter finally finished his work, look sideways at Jane: "What are you thinking about?" He rarely opens his mouth to chat with her, Jane smiled and said: “I wonder who’s in your family”? Jane did not want to ask about Edwin Carter’s family, but maybe after yesterday she started to trust him unconditionally, and now she wants to know more about him. Edwin Carter paused for a moment and said: "There are grandpa, parents and a little sister who doesn’t understand anything." When Edwin Carter talked about his sister, he gritted his teeth. Jane felt that he is holding back something. Jane listened to him and asked: " Don’t understand? What doesn’t she understand? " Edwin Carter frowned, unwilling to mention it again. They have been married for almost a month, but Edwin Carter never mentioned to take her to see his parents or anything like that. Now even she asks, but he doesn’t want to say much. I don’t want to mention my family in front of Edwin Carter because something bad has happened in my family. Is it the same with Edwin Carter? He also has bad terms with his family members? Or is there another reason? Jane unwillingly thinks the negative without believing that there can be so many coincidences in the world. Edwin Carter is not willing to take her to meet her family. After thinking about it, Jane asked no more questions. After a while, she heard Edwin Carter saying, "Jane, my family members are not in China, they will come back after a few days. Then I will take you to see them." Jane smiled and said, "I don’t mean that." Edwin Carter asked, "What do you mean then?" Jane had no answer. Two hours later, their car finally returned to the city of Mengke Jingcheng where they lived. After getting off the car, Jane plans to go to the supermarket to make up some daily necessities and food materials. The busy Edwin Carter put down the document and got off with her: "I’ll go with you." Seeing how busy he is, Jane stops herself saying, "It is fine you go and finish your work. It is totally fine I can go alone." Edwin Carter looked at her, took the lead and utter a sentence: "Your husband doesn’t look good?" Jane shook her head helplessly and walks with him. Edwin Carter took the initiative to pick the shopping cart and walked on Jane’s left side. There was a whisper around her: "That man is so handsome and charming." Jane couldn’t help looking up at him and smile with a crooked eyebrow: "Somebody is praising you." Edwin Carter answered coldly, "I don’t need them to praise me." Jane bites her lip and asked, "Then who do you need to praise you?" Edwin looked at her without saying anything. Edwin Carter looked down at her, and her face turned red again. She whispered, "You are really good looking. You are the most handsome man I have ever seen." Jane was telling the truth, but didn’t dare to look at him while speaking. Because this man’s eyes are so sharp, they have the ability to penetrate deep into people’s hearts. After a brief silence, she heard him say, "Hmm, I know." Jane gave him a quiet look. What is this? He asked her to praise him. She praised him. And that’s just what he has to say. After looking around they go to the fresh food area Jane chose a fish, ready to make a good boiled fish of Edwin Carter’s taste. She pointed to the selected fish and said softly, "Please give me this one and cut the fish into slices for me." The fish salesman was a young man. When he saw Jane, his face turned red. He nodded his head and cut the fish into slices. Finally, he took several bags and handed the fish fillets to Jane. "This is your package hold it, welcome you to come again!" Jane smiled and took the fish. "Thank you!" After leaving the fish stall, Jane walk to the vegetable area that was just next to it. Just a moment later, she heard Edwin Carter’s deep voice: "You are very attractive and charming." Jane put her package on Carter’s arms, raised her eyebrows, laughed and said: "Because I am also very appealing." Edwin Carter feels it, took out his arm and holds her hand, and while holding each other’s hands they continue to stroll. The responsibility of carrying bags naturally falls on Edwin Carter. She looked at him. His hands were not empty, but having a caring husband is a good feeling, she feels very relaxed. She noticed very little details. Edwin Carter did not bring his work cell phone when he came to the supermarket with her. He was intent on accompanying her during shopping. Without any further conversation on their way, they returned home. Edwin Carter put the shopping bags into the kitchen and said: "I’ll cook with you tonight." Jane looked at him and smiled, "You’d better wash the dishes. Today, I’ll cook just two dishes. That will be ready soon." She thinks that the presence of Edwin Carter would affect her normal efficiency of doing work, so it would be better to send him away. Edwin Carter also knows that he is really not good at the kitchen, so he agrees to Jane. Jane first clean the rice then cooked them in a pot, wash vegetables and prepare seasonings, and then leave fish to boil. Commonly people like to put bean sprouts and bottom vegetables in boiled fish, but she likes to add some onions in it. It didn’t take long for the fish to boil. Jane tasted it first and found it good. She goes to call Edwin Carter to come out and eat, who was busy doing his work. Because of her previous experience, Jane also arranged a pair of serving chopsticks. She took the chopsticks and serves Edwin Carter some fish and onions. She blinked her big eyes and looked at him. "You first taste them and tell me how it is?" Edwin Carter frowned when he looked at the onions, he slowly held chopsticks in his hands. "Don’t you like onions?" Jane noticed it and asked hesitantly. "No." Don’t know what kind of thinking and mentality it was. Edwin Carter is reluctant to admit in front of Jane that he is allergic to onions. Considering that he had not eaten that dish last time made her angry and she went to a friend’s house for a night. If he again doesn’t eat this time... With this thought, Edwin Carter looks towards Jane and after the first look, he did not think much, picks up the chopsticks and starts eating.
