Shi Mei’s brain wasn’t very sharp, but her body was quite nimble.
Being climbed on , Shi Lingyan couldn’t shake her off and said, "Get down."
"If you take me to a candlelight dinner, I’ll get down."
"I’m busy on Christmas Day, I can’t be with you."
Shi Mei, of course, knew.
He intended to ditch this little fool to meet Senior Sister.
But did she really dare to go?
Wasn’t she afraid she might go crazy again and take another chop at him?
The wound Shi Lingyan had from a previous cut hadn’t fully healed; another one could probably be fatal.
Shi Mei pouted and said, "Why, isn’t Christmas a day for dating? Won’t husband date Shi Mei?"
"No, get down, and I’ll take you to a candlelight dinner."
"No, I want to go on Christmas evening."
"I won’t, I won’t, I won’t!"
Shi Lingyan, helpless, said, "Do you want a big house?"
"I don’t want it. I just want the candlelight dinner!" Shi Mei was stubborn. As she spoke, she tightened her legs around Shi Lingyan’s waist. "Also, you have to hide the ring in a cake and propose to me, then kneel down and say, ’Please marry me.’ Then I’ll shyly accept, okay? Want to try?"
Shi Lingyan chuckled, "You first get down. I can’t carry you anymore."
"You’ve gotten fat, you’re too heavy, you’ll crush me to death."
"No way, I’m so light. Aunt Chen says I’m too thin, so I need to eat plenty."
"Aunt Chen is right, but I’m old, I can’t carry you any longer."
"Old?" Shi Mei peeked over his shoulder and pulled his face, "No wrinkles, not old."
For Shi Lingyan, it was only the second time a woman had pulled his face.
The first was Tang Wu.
Tang Wu liked to tug his face like she was coaxing a child, then laughed slyly.
But Shi Mei laughed naively, looking adorably foolish.
Unable to shake off this little one, Shi Lingyan resigned himself to saying, "I’ll take you out to eat."
Shi Mei held on tight.
Shi Lingyan could only walk outside. The onlooking staff members gathered around.
Shi Mei laughed joyfully, shouting, "Yun Du, Yun Du, Yun Du, we’re going to eat now!"
Yun Du was almost gobsmacked.
This little fool had some nerve!
The boss didn’t throw her off?
Yun Du quickly followed them.
The candlelight dinner was indeed a simple candlelight affair.
Shi Lingyan had someone light a candle. Shi Mei beamed and said, "It’s beautiful. Husband, did you prepare flowers for Shi Mei?"
But he still asked Yun Du to get someone to prepare.
In less than ten minutes, Yun Du brought a beautiful bunch of fresh pink roses to Shi Lingyan.
Shi Lingyan took a look and handed them to Shi Mei, saying, "Here."
"Wow!" Shi Mei hugged the roses, her laugh sweet and charming, "So beautiful! This is the first time husband has given me flowers! Can we come again tomorrow night, Christmas Eve?"
"Tomorrow, you stay quietly at home," Shi Lingyan, resigned, patted her head, "Do you like big houses? And fancy big cars."
"What do you like then?"
"I like husband!" Shi Mei, her big dark eyes sparkling, said, "I want to be with husband forever and ever."
That had once been her most genuine wish.
