Xi Xiaye looked at him with raised brows and said softly, “Do you really want to know?”
“Mmm!”
Now, he looked very much like a curious and obedient baby as he nodded gently. His jet black eyes flickered with a faint radiance, distracting Xi Xiaye a little. Moments after that, she pursed her lips and answered, “You’ll find out later.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Yuchen did not ask further. Since she said that he would know later, he would just have to antic.i.p.ate it later.
As he thought about this, he could not help but reach out to gently hold her hand that was on her thigh without saying anything. Just interlocking their fingers, Xi Xiaye could feel the warmth from his dry palms.
Xi Xiaye did not say anything either. Her clear gaze swept past their interlocking hands, then she looked up at his handsome face. When she noticed that he had already shut his eyes to rest, her starry eyes then instantly turned gentle.
She did not know why, but right then, he seemed to appear easier on the eyes. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed.
Thankfully, such an excellent man belonged to her, when she thought about this, she could not help but struggle free of his hand, and switched to her holding his tightly, she did not let go even for a minute, Mu Yuchen did not struggle free either, he just let her hold his hand, even if his large hand hurt a little from her holding it.
It was not sure how long had pa.s.sed when she suddenly spoke out as she drove with her eyes on the road ahead.
“Mu Yuchen…”
“Hmm?” he quickly answered. However, he did not open his eyes even for a peek.
“Nothing. I just wanted to say your name.”
Upon hearing this, a dazzling smile curved on his handsome face. He turned his head and his eyes opened to silently take an appreciative look at her.
The French restaurant that Xi Xiaye mentioned was not far away from City S. When the couple walked into the restaurant, there were not many people perhaps because it had just recently opened. The two of them ordered a few dishes, and the waiters served them very quickly. In less than 15 minutes, everything was served.
The restaurant had elegant surroundings. There was a quartet playing on the small stage in the middle. They sang French songs that Xi Xiaye did not understand, but he did seem like he enjoyed it. She only vaguely remembered the song’s name. It seemed to be something like “Je m’appelle Helene”.
After a while, he suddenly said, “When we’re free, I’ll bring you there to walk around. The scenery over there is very different from here. It lives up to its reputation of being called the city of romance.”
Meanwhile, his long arm reached over to very sweetly slice up her steak like a gentleman.
Xi Xiaye obviously knew which place he was referring to. In those four years, he ran back and forth those two places, but in the end, he did not return to City Z.
“According to the current situation, I don’t know when I’ll have a chance either. However, Father, Mother, and Grandpa will be going on a holiday since it’s the summer holidays. You could suggest that they visit France. I’ve always heard that it’s a romance-filled city, and I think it would be very suitable for them to visit,” said Xi Xiaye as she shrugged helplessly.
“Mmm, we’ll have a chance too. The next time I go there for work, give me a few days and be my secretary for those days, won’t you?” His soft and raspy voice was filled with seduction while darkness that could almost drown her gathered in his profound eyes. “Over there, every time I joined the dinner banquets, I would turn up alone. Could you bear to let me do that?”
Xi Xiaye immediately smiled with raised brows. “If you really wanted to mess around, even if ten of me watched over you, I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
Mu Yuchen instantly laughed out loud. He suddenly did not know whether he should thank her for her trust or be glad about her open-mindedness.
After dinner, the husband and wife rested for a bit before leaving the restaurant.
They had just walked out of the restaurant when a chilly breeze came. Xi Xiaye stood at the top of the staircase and looked up at the night sky. She realized that a bright moon was hanging up high in the night sky. It was very round, large, and bright. Its bright and soft radiance filled the entire world. Today was Friday as well, and the surroundings were very relaxed, so it was quite suitable to go for a walk.
“You want to know what gift I’m giving you, don’t you? Come with me.”
Soon, she turned her head and looked at the man behind her as she reached a hand out to him. Mu Yuchen was stunned. After that, he obediently lifted a hand and let her guide him forward.
The husband and wife briskly walked through the busy streets. After a short while, they reached the front of the entrance to the center of City S. She just said a few things to the doorkeeper before he let them through.
When she pulled him to the side of the school field, he could not help but comment, “Why the mystery?”
She put two hands on his shoulders and made him sit on the long bench as she said, “Sit here and wait for me. Don’t move. When I ask you to turn, then you turn. Do you understand?”
“When did you get interested in all this?” He chuckled but very cooperatively did as she said.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer a loss! Hold on. It’ll be done soon!” Xi Xiaye said. Then, Mu Yuchen heard her turn around to leave. He continued silently listening, and his profound eyes looked ahead indistinctly. With the help of the silky moonlight, you could see the blossoming flowers in the garden, and inhale the refres.h.i.+ng, elegant scent of the magnolias that came from the large plot of magnolia forest. He wanted to bend down and pick up a fallen white flower, but what followed suddenly was the sound of banging from behind.
“Mr. Mu, you can turn around now!”
The wind transported her voice, and he turned around in an instant to see a riot of colors lighting up the entire night sky. Fireworks blossomed and weaved into a heartwarming sea of color. He suddenly felt like his eyes were being hugged by warmth.
He lowered his gaze and realized that she was standing underneath the fireworks and waving at him. In her hand was a long fireworks tube. Her bright and excited face brimmed with a smile, appearing even more dazzling and beautiful than the fireworks in the sky.
Bam bam!
Numerous fireworks continued to blossom in the sky above their heads. Amidst the faint smoke, her slender figure was blurry as she was looking up at the beautiful fireworks while he watched her.
After a while, he picked up his steps and slowly walked towards her. He reached behind her as his arm could not help but slide around her shoulders. Then, he followed her gaze up towards the bright and dazzling night sky.
