What was she doing?

In the evening.

Xi Ting and Qin Yan were out to shop for seafood. Although Auntie He was present to do all these things, the couple still preferred to do such things sometimes. 

The market was filled with the smell of fish. The live seafood was squirming and jumping around. Qin Yan bought some crabs and slipper lobsters. She even bargained with the fishmonger for some shrimp.

As they bought seafood, Xi Ting carried the items behind while Qin Yan looked around at the front like any normal husband and wife.

They returned with a huge bag of ingredients. Xi Ting took Qin Yan's hand as he carried the goods in the other. Qin Yan saw that it looked heavy. She said to him, "Let me carry some."

Xi Ting replied, "You're in charge of holding my hand."

Qin Yan looked at him sweetly, "You're so glib-tongued. Are you doing this so that I will agree to whatever request you have in mind?"
