195 Are You Scared?
“This brother of mine is so kind and caring, how could I possibly deprive Yao Ziyang of that last bit of dopamine?” Yao Zizhou said lightly.
After saying that, Yao Zizhou found Ming Liuyi staring at him with wide eyes. She did not say anything for a long time. Yao Zizhou asked, “What’s wrong? Are you scared?”
Only then did Ming Liuyi e back to her senses. Yao Zizhou had been too gentle beside her, so much so that she had almost forgotten that he was a decisive and cruel man.
Ming Liuyi nodded. Yao Zizhou raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. His magnetic voice was filled with fort as he said, Liuyi, my sweet wife, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
It was silly for her to be scared, but should she not be scared?
Yao Zizhou pretended not to see the expression on Ming Liuyi’s face, and immediately recovered his puppy-like gaze. He said, “I’ve been walking for so long now. My knees really hurt. Dear, please massage them.”
…
The car slowly stopped in front of the villa. The sky had already gone dark.
Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou’s legs and asked, “Do you need a wheelchair?” Yao Zizhou nodded, and Zhao Qiang quickly brought out the wheelchair.
Xiao Fan could not hide the joy on her face. She said, “Master, Madam, dinner is ready. You can eat now.”
“Is there something good to eat tonight?” Ming Liuyi asked curiously.
“That’s not it,” replied Zhao Qiang. “It’s just that Madam hasn’t been home for a few days, and everyone has missed you very much.”
Yao Zizhou thought about something but did not say it out loud. He and Ming Liuyi went upstairs to change before going to the dining room.
When they arrived, Xiao Fan pretended to be surprised and said, “Who turned off the lights? I’ll go take a look first!”
However, after waiting for a while, the lights in the dining room did not turn on, but there was a faint candlelight.
Zhao Qiang pushed Yao Zizhou into the dining room and they saw that it was full of people. There was a birthday cake on the table!
Then, Xiao Fan led everyone to sing the Happy Birthday song. The crowd’s singing was unorganized. Some were out of tune, some were shouting and singing, but no matter what, they still finished the song.
After that, everyone looked at Yao Zizhou, waiting for his reaction. Yao Zizhou’s face was calm as he said, “It sounds terrible.”
Xiao Fan was a little nervous. Had her intentions to get everyone to celebrate his birthday caused him to be unhappy?
After a moment, Yao Zizhou revealed a smile and said, “Although it’s unpleasant to hear, I still like it. Thank you, everyone.”
The previously cold atmosphere instantly became lively again, and the servants began to talk.
“As long as the master is happy. He’s even smiling!”
“Happy Birthday, Master!”
Xiao Fan also said, “Master, it’s your birthday tomorrow. We thought that you must have spent it outside, but everyone really wanted to use this opportunity to thank you, so we decided to celebrate your birthday sooner at home. I hope you don’t mind.”
“That’s very kind of you, I’m very happy,” Yao Zizhou said.
Xiao Fan continued, “Master, you can make your birthday wish tomorrow. Let’s just blow out the candles together now!”
Yao Zizhou nodded, and everyone blew out the candles and distributed the cake slices while congratulating him.
“I wish the Master good health.”
“I hope you will always have a source of ine.”
“May everything go well for you, Master.”
Ming Liuyi made the first nice and dabbed some icing on the tip of Yao Zizhou’s nose, hinting to the others to use this opportunity to “take revenge.”
Although Yao Zizhou was quite happy, no one dared to act rashly and pretended not to see anything; they looked anywhere except at the madam.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Yao Zizhou said, “Tomorrow will be an especially important day for me and the Yao family. I’ve received all the blessings you’ve given me today. This is extremely important and precious to me. Thank you.”
With that, Yao Zizhou, with his nose still sporting the dab of cake icing, returned to the bedroom with Ming Liuyi. After closing the bedroom door, Yao Zizhou immediately brought her into his arms. Ming Liuyi immediately fell onto Yao Zizhou’s lap, and he hugged her waist.
“What do you want?” Ming Liuyi asked.
“You’ve done something bad, so naturally you must be punished,” Yao Zizhou said.
Ming Liuyi pretended not to understand. She said, “When did I do anything bad? Let me go, I still have to take a shower.”
“We can’t waste food, the icing must be eaten,” Yao Zizhou said.
Ming Liuyi’s face flushed, and she quickly reached out to wipe off the icing from Yao Zizhou’s nose.
