Lu Yanchen sat down opposite s.h.i.+ Guang at the dining table. “That’s how you welcome your husband home?”
s.h.i.+ Guang raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, asking, “Then what do you want? Lay down the red carpet and yell out loudly at home, “My hubby’s home, my hubby’s home, my hubby’s home!”?”
At the back, her voice was raised to a screech, mimicking the eunuchs welcoming the emperor in the past. That had Lu Yanchen chuckling.
He reached out and pinched her cheeks.
s.h.i.+ Guang slapped his hand away. “Don’t pinch my cheeks.”
He took over her bowl and chopsticks and she s.n.a.t.c.hed it back immediately. “What are you doing?”
“I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Don’t you know how to get a set of cutlery from the kitchen?” Despite her clearly displeased face, s.h.i.+ Guang stood up and went to the kitchen, taking out a set of cutlery. “I didn’t prepare your meal. Why did you come home for? Why not go out with a babe for a candlelight dinner?”
“Honestly, your reason for getting jealous is somewhat ridiculous, and you’re getting overboard with it.” He got himself some rice. “But, I like it. Go on and continue quarreling. Cry, quarrel, threaten with suicide. That’s the best way to go about it.”
His face was stern and did not seem as though he was joking. Yet, s.h.i.+ Guang was t.i.tillated by that.
She wanted to spit at his rice. “I’m only going to get angrier with you like that.”
“Oh? Go ahead then. I won’t get angry anyway.”
“Why not?”
“You getting angry because you’re jealous? I couldn’t be any happier. Why should I get angry?”
“You’re really a thousand years old demon! I’m going to subdue you later!” s.h.i.+ Guang pinched at a piece of meat that Lu Yanchen got for himself purposely.
“If I could live for a thousand years, all the less I’d hold it against a young maiden such as yourself.” He released his meat graciously and went to pick another dish.
“So, you’re complaining that I’m unreasonable then?” s.h.i.+ Guang slapped down on her chopsticks and wanted to leave. However, he held her hand. “Eat properly. I’ll reward you with a gift later.”
“Reward gift? Not an apology gift?” s.h.i.+ Guang continued to eat while grumbling.
“However you like it to be.”
“So, what are you giving me?”
“I’ll give it to you after dinner.”
Before Lu Yanchen could even finish, s.h.i.+ Guang had already walked over to his luggage. Opening it, she found a box that was wrapped up as she opened it further to find a set of lipsticks.
Tom Ford had released a limited edition set of 68 lipsticks this year, where every single one of them were the most popular ones ever since its inception, and were always sold out.
s.h.i.+ Guang did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Well, there was nothing wrong with giving a girl lipsticks, but giving that many in one go…?
She was probably never going to finish these many lipsticks in her entire lifetime!
“I don’t know what color you’d prefer or use, and thus, buying a set was the best.” He explained his rationale behind buying the entire 68 lipsticks set.
“A single lipstick costs 350 yuan… For 68… that’s around 20,000+…” s.h.i.+ Guang was pained as she thought about the 20,000+ yuan. “You could even get me a huge diamond or a golden necklace with that amount of money.”
“I was afraid you might scold me for splurging.”
s.h.i.+ Guang: “…”
Diamonds and golden necklaces had sentimental value. How was that a waste?
On the contrary, wasn’t buying these many lipsticks a waste then?
But in reality, what she liked most was to receive cash. For example, if she were to receive a transfer of 520 yuan daily, that would be good even though it might seem a little gaudy.
“You want me to accept your gift and apology? Sure! But, you’ve got to do something with me later.” s.h.i.+ Guang sn.i.g.g.e.red evilly.
