Chapter 70: Jealous Again
The seafood was all very fresh, and Qin Jiran prepared several kinds, some boiled and some grilled. Su Yanyi had a wonderful meal and felt exceptionally happy.
After dinner, Qin Jiran took Su Yanyi out through the back door of the restaurant in a somewhat secretive manner. Su Yanyi followed without objection, walking through a small garden without encountering anyone. After a little more than two minutes, they arrived at an entrance where a person who appeared to be a security guard was seated. Upon seeing the couple, he approached them and said, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, everything is ready. Please come in."
The title of ’Mrs. Qin’ was a foreign one to Su Yanyi. She wondered whether it was her own strong presence or the fact that, previously, when their status had not been made public, the people who knew of their relationship were on her side. But in any case, this was the first time someone had addressed her as Mrs. Qin.
However, she found the feeling acceptable and saw no reason to reject it.
As for Qin Jiran, he sneaked a glance at Su Yanyi and, seeing that she didn’t object, felt a burst of delight in his heart. A smile spread across his face, and he nodded to the security guard, saying, "Then we’ll go in."
The two of them entered, with Qin Jiran obviously familiar with the place, while Su Yanyi looked on curiously. However, she noticed nothing special, just an ordinary-looking house. They walked through a small living room and into a bedroom, but what Su Yanyi saw inside surprised her.
"A tiger cub?" To be precise, a white tiger cub, squinting as if asleep, lying inside a wooden fence. The little one looked much like a cat, but Su Yanyi naturally wouldn’t mistake it; it was clearly a little white tiger.
"A friend gave it to me. It was smuggled here. If you like it, keep it; if not, we’ll send it to the zoo." The reason Qin Jiran brought Su Yanyi to see the little white tiger was because it couldn’t easily be seen by others, and most importantly, he didn’t know if Su Yanyi would agree to keep the little white tiger.
Su Yanyi’s eyes twitched. Keeping a tiger? This was something she had never considered. She found even a turtle to be troublesome, let alone harboring any thoughts of keeping a tiger—and a smuggled one at that. This must be a joke!
