nThe stoic and impassive man, who seemed indifferent in the supermarket just now, gently smiled at his wife. It was as if his cold and emotionless countenance was just an illusion.

nBut at Wei's mention, he turned somber.

"No.

"

nThe woman lowered her gaze sadly as she pursed her lips. Jiang Weizhe hated to see his wife so downcast. He gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her hair.

n

"But I met the woman in question, Yubi.

"

nHer crestfallen face brightened up.

"Oh! So? Who is she?

"

n

"Song Lihua.

"

nJiang Yubi rapidly blinked her eyes.

"Song Lihua you mean...that Song family?

"

nHe silently nodded.

nHer brows furrowed in a complicated expression.

"I see…

"

nBut then she shook her head.

"It doesn't matter to me though. The situation is a little difficult but... anyway, how did you find her? What did you two talk about?

"

nJiang Weizhe said,

"She is dangerously smart.

"

n

"How?

"

n

"She got suspicious about Wei and my relationship. She asked if I knew Jiang Wei.

"

nHer eyes widened in surprise. She gave it a thought.

"It's really not that difficult. After all, Wei strikingly resembles you.

"

n

"But still. She seemed very sure,

" he quietly said.

n

"What happened that made her so sure?

"

n

"Nothing. She gave me the chocolate chips cookie packet and some candles.

"

nJiang Yubi was confused.

"So?

"

n

"Then I handed a cheque to her as her reward. After that, she asked me the question.

" His gaze squinted thoughtfully.

"I wonder how did she get the clue?

"

nHis wife's mouth violently twitched.

nI understand how she got the connection…

nShe helplessly laughed.

nJiang Weizhe's gaze softened.

"Why are you laughing?

"

n

"Nothing. You father-son are really the same.

"

nHis lips straightened in a thin line. He never really liked her talking about Wei.

n

"Oh yes! You said you brought the cookies!

"

n

"En. It was the last packet and she had it. But she still gave it to me.

"

nHer lips curved into a beautiful smile.

"Ah, she is so kind.

"

nThen her gaze fell onto the small candles and her expression bloomed into pure bliss.

"These candles are gorgeous.

"

n

"She said you might like them.

"

n

"Ah? How did she know I would like them?

"

n

"I told her that you like artistic things. Then she looked as if she got a great idea and handed me these.

"

nJiang Yubi was dumbfounded.

"You talked to her that much? I thought you don't like talking to other people.

"

nThis came as a massive shock to her. Just like Wei, Jiang Weizhe wasn't a talkative man either. They hardly spoke as if their words were gold.

nJiang Weizhe softly smiled.

"I couldn't help it. We were talking about you. She was interested in knowing about you.

"

n

"...

"

nSo you only talked to her because it was about me.

nShe softly smiled.

"But I think I know what made Wei attach to her. He resembles you even personality wise.

"

n

"Yubi…

" There was a slight hint of warning in his tone though he didn't get any stricter.

"Don't talk anymore about him. We should go back.

"

nJiang Yubi pursed her lips.

n

"For how long can I not meet him?

" She mumbled.

nJiang Weizhe stiffened at her question that he heard clearly. He quietly avoided her and looked away.

"Go back.

" He said to the driver.

n---

nAs Lihua and Wei reached home, she kept her part of the shopping bags at home while she quickly headed for Wei's apartment again.

n

"Boss, did you enjoy shopping? It was your first time. How did you feel?

" She looked at him eagerly and hopped around him like a bunny.

nWei stared at the sparkles in her eyes and felt mesmerized.

"En…

"

nShe beamed.

"What did you feel? Did you like it?

"

nWei thought back to how he spent time with Lihua. Indeed, he found it really interesting to learn shopping with her like how commoners do.

n

"I like it,

" he softly smiled.

nThis new experience tugged a warm feeling in his chest. He didn't mind going shopping with her like this every day.

nAfter all, you took me on a shopping date because I am your man, he thought.

nIf Lihua heard what he had been thinking, she would have coughed blood until she collapsed dead.

nLihua clapped her hands once in excitement.

nSuccess!

n

"Did it trigger something in you? Like any kind of feeling? Even if it is something small, you can tell me.

"

nWei nodded.

"Respect for the poor. Indeed they have great flexibility to settle for cheaper products.

"

n

"...

"

nLihua didn't know how to retort.

nIt will take a while to remove that poor notion from his head, don't I?

nShe sighed.

"Anyway. Boss, look what I brought. I took a bunch of stuff to decorate your house,

" she grinned.

"

nWei glanced at all the showpieces and decorative stuff in her bag.

"You brought this all for me?

"

n

"En. A house should be all nice and warm. Right now, your apartment is too plain. So we will decorate it! Aren't you excited?

"

n

"We will decorate it together?

" He tilted his head.

n

"Of course! I mean that is if you need my help…

" she flustered.

nMaybe I got too excited. I shouldn't forget that he is my Boss...

nWei imagined how it would look like decorating the house with her. Once again, he a fuzzy feeling enveloped his chest.

"En. I want to decorate it with you.

"

nHe was never interested in such things, but if it meant spending more time with Lihua, he was more than happy to oblige. It was faint, but his robotic face brightened a bit.

nYes! Ah, my Godly handsome prince looks so adorable!

n

"Great! So we will start Mission Decoration tomorrow! It will be so much fun haha!

"

nShe looked at the time.

"Oh, it's so late already. I should head back.

"

nWei pursed his lips.

nLeaving?

nHe didn't like the feeling. A distaste settled in him at that thought. He felt as if time passed by too quickly. With Lihua, he slowly started to feel that no matter how much time he spent with her, it would be always too short. He stared at her with a complicated gaze.

n

"Good night Boss!

"

nAs she turned, Wei quickly held her wrist and pulled her. Startled, she looked up at him. His serious gaze penetrated hers. She felt her breath get stuck in her throat as his handsome face closed in. His sexy voice whispered huskily,

"Don't leave.

"
