Shen Luo’an felt flustered at the sight of her offering him her tender lips .
He lowered his head slightly and gently pecked her on the lips .
He wrapped his arm around her and ached for her when he ran his hand over her gaunt frame .
He reached behind her for the seat belt and strapped her in .
He released her and said, “I’m taking you to eat your favorite food . ”
Shen Manting’s cheeks flushed with joy .
She nodded and gazed at Shen Luo’an with anticipation in her eyes . “You’re so kind to me, hubby,” she said sincerely .
“You’re so kind to me, hubby . ”
He took in each and every word coming from Shen Manting’s mouth – words that she would never have uttered in the past .
Shen Luo’an’s hands were trembling slightly as he fastened her seat belt .
Would she have said that if she knew how much she hated him?
Would she still think of him as a doting husband? Would she even come close to calling him her husband?
The answer was obvious .
But he soon snapped out of his ruminations . “Let’s go . ”
“All right!”
He drove to the Western restaurant that Shen Manting used to like and ordered her favorite dishes .
Shen Manting glanced around the restaurant curiously, as if she had never been there before .
Then, she leaned over to Shen Luo’an and whispered, “Is our family rich, honey?”
Shen Luo’an chuckled . “Why do you think so?”
“I observed that this is a high-end restaurant . I browsed through the menu . A steak costs more than 500 yuan . It’s too expensive . The head warden only gave me a dime to buy some sweets when I behaved myself . ”
Shen Manting felt a little hurt as she spoke .
Suddenly, she clasped her hand over her mouth and asked timidly, “Am I too naive, honey?”
Shen Luo’an felt a twinge of pain in his heart and looked at her wistfully .
He shook his head . “No, you’re fine,” he lied .
Shen Manting vaguely sensed that he was lying .
Yet, she chose not to expose him .
She nodded and fell silent .
Their meal was soon served – a fragrant piece of steak on a fancy plate .
Shen Manting’s eyes widened, but she remained silent .
After the waiter had left, she exclaimed, “Honey, this dish looks nicer than those I saw on television!”
Shen Luo’an smiled and picked up the knife and fork . “Here, I’ll show you how to cut the steak . ”
“Okay!” Shen Manting beamed gleefully .
She observed Shen Luo’an as he demonstrated how to use the cutlery and picked up the skill quickly .
She learned to use the cutlery effortlessly, as if the skill had already been ingrained in her before .
After the satisfying meal, Shen Luo’an took Shen Manting to the shopping mall .
They bought plenty of clothes .
Shen Manting was now unusually thin . After picking out two outfits, she nudged Shen Luo’an, “Honey, I’m still weak . Even the smallest size is too large for me . We’ll leave them for now . Let’s come back to buy them after I gain some bulk . ”
Shen Luo’an nodded with a smile .
They returned home with a considerable load of purchases .
Shen Yuexiao was asleep .
Shen Luo’an and Shen Manting tiptoed into the room .
“Take a bath first . I’ll bring you your pajamas,” Shen Luo’an said .
“All right,” Shen Manting spoke softly as she walked into the bathroom .
Upon entering the bathroom, she was stunned by its spaciousness . “This is a huge bathroom!” she exclaimed .
Shen Luo’an brought her pajamas and smiled at her . “Do you know how to bathe?”
Shen Manting looked at him as if he was a fool . “Do I look dumb to you?”
She grabbed the pajamas from his hands and pushed him out . “Don’t peek at me . ”
Shen Luo’an’s smile widened . He nodded and said, “I’ll wait for you outside . ”
Shen Manting blushed .
She immediately closed the bathroom door, feeling butterflies in her stomach .
