Gao Lan Mei"s eyes brightened as she asked, "You are not busy?" her tone concerned but delighted for her mother to show up.From her previous life, she never really experiences a motherly warmth and a.s.sistance.
Though she was able to interact with some of her father"s subordinate before they left their place of confinement, warriors are always stiff. So she never experience the comfort of a loving parent.
Li Mao noticed Gao Lan Mei"s deep thought from earlier. She patted her daughter"s head softly before uttered encouragingly, "If he cannot accept your flaws, we can always look for a new husband for you. Someone who would not care if you can cook or not."
Gao Lan Mei smirked then nodded, "Yes. If he cannot accept the food that I will make after I tried my best, might as well just replace him." she said feeling much better.
If Wei Jiayi cannot allow the simple things that she cannot do, even if it is part of his so-called "Typical Wife" standard, probably they are not fated to be together in this life after all.
She has more defects than good points. Anyway, she prefers to be free. So if he decided to get a new wife, Gao Lan Mei will just travel to the farthest part of the world where she cannot see any trace of him.
"You are thinking too much." Li Mao commented, chuckling at Gao Lan Mei"s determined expression. Wei Jiayi wanted her daughter so much, to the point of childish possessiveness.
Li Mao can even bet that regardless how Gao Lan Mei serves the food, he will still eat it and brag about it later. Probably. They will find out later.

In the Dining Room
Being in the good mood, Wei Jiayi stood up in the middle of the room while he magically and carefully arranged many fragrant lit candles placing some on the tables, chairs and on the ground as well.
Large and small candles are present in different colors that he also had personally handpicked some flowers, that he hopes Gao Lan Mei will like and placed them on a very expensive vase in the middle of the roundtable.
"Hmm... What else am I missing?" he asked no one in particular. Wei Jiayi opened his palm, then a small open parchment swiftly appeared, "Candles, good. Pretty flowers. There." He said with a frown unhappily.
He then added with a shrug of his shoulder, "Sadly there are no white flowers. I know she like those. Oh well, that can be arranged." Wei Jiayi waved his hand and to change the color of the flowers to white. Not only the color change but the smell and texture as well.
Now, the originally natural fresh flowers look like a white mist, trying to keep its shape.
The magical flowers are floating in the air and Wei Jiayi cannot smell any fragrance from it.
Wei Jiayi is not sure if this is fine. He got the parchment as an immediate order from a love expert and it said a date should include these things and it is much better if the things in the room will be the woman"s favorite.
"This dating thing sounds complicated. So many things to do." Wei Jiayi said exasperatedly. It is his biggest desire to make Gao Lan Mei like him, not involving tricks and deals.
The information on the parchment though is all new to him and some are weird like, wasting rose petals and placing them on the floor.
"Ah... Master, what are these supposed to mean?" Xi Ma asked confusingly, while Lou Ren already has an idea on what Wei Jiayi is planning to do.
"Date." Wei Jiayi said deadpanned. He threw the parchment to Xi Ma to see what it includes. "Get our most expensive wine." He ordered seriously, decided to go through with it, as it will probably make Gao Lan Mei happy. Who knows? There is no harm in trying.
