From Dusk till Dawn! - Chapter 406
As they walked out of the shopping mall, Tang Li adjusted her large shades and her scarf properly covering her face.
“You don’t need to hide, Lili,” The man for whom she was hiding her face however acted nonchalantly without bothering to wear the shades she was giving him.
“We will be all over the tabloids if someone recognizes you or we get photographed,” She said, lightly shaking her head.
Mo Yuhan smiled opening the car door for her. As she entered, he walked to the other side and got inside the car as well.
He put the shopping bags on the backseat before and she glanced at him, “I didn’t expect you to remember this,” She said, pointing at one certain bag.
”I don’t forget a single thing related to you,” He stated it like a fact before stepping on the accelerator.
She smiled at him before shaking her head once again. He truly didn’t.
Her man was very persistent about accompanying her to shopping today. Not that she had any plans to shop, but since he wanted to accompany her, she had to come out to shop. He got her clothes, pieces of jewelry, shoes, almost everything in the shopping mall.
What’s more…He insisted on carrying the shopping bags by himself like an ordinary husband, not letting the staff members touch them. Of course, he didn’t let her pay the bill too.
What surprised her more was that he got some expensive calligraphy brushes. Bach when she was attacked by Ye Lan’s dog, she was looking at some of those brushes contemplating which one should she get for her grandfather. At that time, she never thought he would notice such a small thing amidst all the ruckus there.
She found it amusing and endearing at the same time. “Yuhan…”
“Mm?”
”I love you..” She said, propping her chin on her palm, appreciating the view of his handsome side profile. She did not miss how his blue eyes sparkled at her words.
“I love you more,” replied the man making her raise an eyebrow.
She stayed silent for a long time and watched how he drove the car with one hand on the steering wheel while the other remained on his thighs.
“Yuhan…”
“En?”
She grabbed the hand that was resting on his thighs and kissed his rough calloused palm, “It’s me who loves you more.”
He glanced at her for a moment before looking back at the road.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, she interrupted, “I love you more. That’s final. I know my darling won’t argue with me, am I right?”
“I won’t,” He chuckled, intertwining his fingers with hers while his other hand remained on the steering wheel.
But undeniable was the fact that he wanted to tell argue that it was him who loved her more.
She smiled and leaned back on her seat, “Where are we going?”
“To have lunch.”
She raised an eyebrow.
Soon, she found herself standing in front of a high-end five-star restaurant. ”I’ll get my scarf first,” She said but he held her hand and pulled closer to him.
“What?” She asked.
“Let’s go. You look beautiful like this,” He tucked the loose strands of her behind her ear before pecking her lips.
She was dressed in a small Turkish blue dress that reached just below her thighs paired with matching stilettos. Her long hair was straightened and tied in a high ponytail. As usual, her face remained bare without any makeup and her beautiful hazel eyes were hidden behind her shades which were immediately removed by the man beside her.
She tilted her head to look at him.
His blue eyes gazed at her beautiful hazel ones, “Very beautiful…” he said.
She leaned closer to him and pressed a kiss on his shoulder, ”Really handsome,” She said looking at his casual outfit. A simple black shirt and a pair of trousers.
It reminded her of the day when they married. He was wearing a black shirt on that too.
He smiled, “Shall we?” He asked, extending his hand towards her.
She hooked her hand around his elbow, “Are you sure?”
He raised an eyebrow, “About what?”
She pursed her lips.
”Look at that man. So Handsome!” A teenager said, completely star-struck.
”He looks familiar.”
”Have you noticed the lady with him?”
“She is gorgeous too…”
”What a beautiful couple…”
Tang Li could hear the comments floating in the air till they entered the private room followed by some attendants.
She sighed as he pulled a chair for her. Taking a seat, she glanced at the man as he placed the order.
As soon as the attendants left at the room, “You will be recognized if we go on like this…Are you sure about this?”
“Why not?”
She licked her bottom lips, “We’ll be in headlines if someone recognized you. We had not discussed this when we got married,” She spoke before taking picking up the glass of water.
Mo Yuhan chuckled, “I don’t remember discussing anything with you at that time. We didn’t discuss being childhood sweethearts or loving each other,” He paused for a moment before adding, “Neither had we discussed about making love or planning kids every day. We are doing everything, so why not?” He nonchalantly spoke.
“Pfft…” She spat the water on the side before wiping her face with a tissue paper.
Soon, their food was served. As they ate, she could not help but sneak a few glances at the man who was definitely sulking.
He was alright in the car but after he got checked some notification on his phone, he was having mood swings.
She squinted, “Yuhan..” she called out.
“Mm?”
“Give me your phone.”
He passed his phone to her without hesitation and she unlocked it with her fingerprint before looking through the recent searches.
There her gaze landed on the link that Li Han has shared with Mo Yuhan.
Her lips twitched slightly as she glanced at headlines. The more she read, the further her expression changed.
No wonder. No wonder Mo Yuhan looked like someone fed him jars of vinegar. She had the urge to slap some senses in Li Han.
