Aiden Shaw saw her radiant deanor and his expression deepened.
She seed to have forgotten that at this mont, she was still a patient.
Tiana Thorne’s fox-like eyes curved, as if there were stars twinkling within, full of hope and mischief, making it hard for anyone to refuse her question.
Aiden Shaw moved a little closer to her.
Tiana Thorne noticed the seriousness in his eyes. Although it was still cold, in that mont, the atmosphere seed to change.
Slowly, she heard him say, "Although I’ve never been in love, I do have a sister."
His voice, deep and llow like fine wine, was intoxicating.
The faint scent of traditional Chinese dicine mixed with the fragrance of orchids and musk made her heart flutter slightly.
Aiden Shaw spoke again, "When it cos to the concept of love, there’s no definite definition. I can only say that if my sister is unhappy, then it ans I haven’t done well enough."
Tiana Thorne was taken aback and couldn’t help but think of how he spoke for Maxim Ford and emphasized that redith was his sister.
For so reason, her heart was inexplicably moved when he said this.
It wasn’t infatuation, but rather shock.
Aiden Shaw’s sister must be very happy, she thought.
Damn it, he’s a complete sister complex!
Before she could react, Aiden Shaw spoke again, his voice noble and cold, yet clear and crisp: "When it cos to love, the mont my woman sheds tears, regardless of what grave mistake she has made, it would still be my fault."
Tiana Thorne: "...!!!!!!"
Whoa!
Why is her girly heart suddenly racing?
Bam!
The mont he pressed his lips together, it felt like an explosion. What was that about?
Hearing his concept of love, it seed like he was a mindless wife-doting monster!
He was speaking so seriously, so earnestly, but why did she detect a hint of flirtation?
It wasn’t him flirting with her.
It was her being inexplicably flirted by him.
Tiana Thorne couldn’t believe it; she was actually being stirred up by a stoic, icy guy...
She quickly gathered her chaotic, spring-like emotions and, perhaps out of guilt, intentionally retorted, "What kind of concept of love is that? That’s clearly foolish!"
Aiden Shaw sat up straight, his legs comfortably crossed.
This little fox was just being a troublemaker, acting unreasonable.
Tiana Thorne saw him lightly purse his lips as if disdaining her question. Discontented, she deliberately provoked him by asking, "If she cheats on you and cries in front of you, would it still be your fault?"
"If she beca my woman, such an ’if’ would not exist."
Tiana Thorne rolled her eyes.
Hmph!
The tone of Aiden Shaw may have been light, but she still detected a hint of narcissism. What he ant was that his taste is impeccable, and he wouldn’t choose wrongly. The woman he chooses would never betray him.
Though initially disdainful, Tiana Thorne couldn’t help but feel a bit sweet inside.
Soone as cold and reserved as Aiden Shaw, who had never been in love, she thought perhaps he had no perception of love at all. Yet, she hadn’t expected him to speak so calmly about his approach to love.
It might be profound, but to put it simply, it ant he would bestow trust and adoration upon his wife.
Such a man, she couldn’t deny, was quite perfect.
But she didn’t want to admit it, so she playfully curled her lips and teased, "The prerequisite is that Brother Aiden needs to see a doctor, otherwise where would you find a woman who won’t cheat on you."
Aiden Shaw "..."
His expression imdiately turned frosty, and his noble deanor changed.
Jesse Rivers had just finished his business and, overhearing their conversation about concepts of love, didn’t want to interrupt, so he didn’t enter. Initially sweet, it then turned... such a buzzkill!
What on earth was Miss Tang thinking?
Tiana Thorne saw his displeasure and continued teasing, "I’m speaking the truth. Nowadays, most won can’t resist loneliness, can’t keep widowed in life. n are outside waving banners, at ho the belt remains intact. There are beautiful things, but there are too many scumbags both n and won."
For example, she was a scumbag, flirting with this one and that one, but never truly loving anyone.
Aiden Shaw’s eyes darkened as he frowned, his low and hoarse voice lightly said, "Is that your concept of love?"
"Of course not." Tiana Thorne quickly said, then put on a charmingly gentle appearance, sweet and lovable.
Aiden Shaw didn’t interrupt her, seemingly indicating her to continue.
Tiana Thorne then said, "My concept of love is simple, follow the Three Obeys and Four Virtues!"
Aiden Shaw: "..."
Jesse Rivers: "...!!!"
Who would’ve thought, that this flamboyant Miss Tang would adhere to the Three Obeys and Four Virtues, how surprising!
Tiana Thorne, eyes like bright stars, explained further, "Simply put, the Three Obeys are: when the wife goes out, follow her; when the wife commands, obey; when the wife is wrong, blindly follow."
Without looking at Aiden Shaw, she gazed at the ceiling and continued with relish, "As for the Four Virtues, if the wife is late, wait patiently; if the wife spends money, indulge her; if the wife is angry, tolerate her; if the wife has preferences, rember them."
Aiden Shaw looked at her dream-like expression, his originally cold and handso face showing a slight hint of humor.
Jesse Rivers: "..."
Stunned for a mont, and still: "..."
Tiana Thorne was indeed Tiana Thorne, mischievous and prone to tardiness, but never absent.
These words should have provoked discomfort in him as a man, yet inexplicably he found her spoiled nature extraordinarily endearing.
If Miss Tang truly loved soone, and this person was willing to be this way for her, the scenery should be a happy one.
He took a longer look at Fourth Lord Aiden and suddenly noticed a faint smile on the corner of Fourth Lord’s lips, ever so slight.
Were it not for the fleeting appearance of those shallow dimples, he wouldn’t have noticed.
Suddenly, Jesse Rivers recalled Fourth Lord’s earlier words.
Fourth Lord’s and Miss Tang’s concepts of love seed to sowhat align.
No.
They were very much in tune!
In his mind popped up a couplet.
Upper part: A mindless wife-doter.
Lower part: A domineering possessor.
Horizontal: A match made in heaven.
How profound!
He increasingly supported Fourth Lord grabbing a shovel and courting Miss Tang this delicate flower, perfect fit!
"Jesse Rivers."
Aiden Shaw suddenly spoke, breaking Jesse Rivers’s silly grin.
Jesse Rivers quickly stifled his smile, stepped in briskly, and nodded respectfully, "Fourth Lord."
Tiana Thorne greeted, "Hi."
Jesse Rivers nodded lightly to her, then respectfully said, "The matter..."
"When did you co back?" Aiden Shaw frowned and coldly interrupted him.
He seed to let out a light laugh in his awareness...
"Just arrived." He wouldn’t let Fourth Lord know he’d seen Fourth Lord’s smile.
Aiden Shaw looked at him, sternly asked, "Is everything done?"
Jesse Rivers: "Everything is done."
Aiden Shaw glanced at Tiana Thorne, then asked, "The hotel’s matters, have they been thoroughly investigated?"
