"Are you sure?" Lin Tong laughed, "Having a al here can’t be settled without a hundred thousand or eighty thousand."
"Pocket change!" Ye Xuan thumped his chest boldly, "Taking my wife out for dinner, whether it’s a hundred thousand or eighty thousand or a billion or eight hundred million, that’s all a small matter!"
The mont Ye Xuan said that, quite a few people at nearby tables shot disdainful glances, as if to mock: Buddy, you’re really bragging!
But only Lin Tong herself knew that Ye Xuan’s boast of billions was not an exaggeration.
For others, and even for himself, Ye Xuan was unquestionably stingy, but when it ca to her, Lin Tong, he was never stingy at crucial monts.
She rembers when Eastern Group faced an unprecedented crisis; if not for Ye Xuan putting up billions of Federation Coins as aid, everything Lin Tong had now would pretty much be gone.
That was a full several billion Federation Coins.
Such an astronomical figure was given, and it seed Ye Xuan forgot about it afterwards, never ntioning it again...
"I truly owe him so much."
Lin Tong sighed quietly, the guilt in her heart growing heavier.
Ye Xuan has been proving with actions that he could give up everything for her, as long as he has it and she needs it, he will give it to her without hesitation.
In contrast, Lin Tong has been unable to fulfill her obligations until now.
His heart must be very weary, right?
Ye Xuan noticed the subtle changes in Lin Tong’s expression, and the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily, revealing a contented, satisfied smile.
It seems fortune does favor the hardworking, achieving results without effort.
Xiao Zhiqing’s devilish trick really has so effect.
Though the spending was a bit much, the start already showed signs of success, didn’t it?
Lin Tong snapped back to reality, looked up at Ye Xuan, and asked, "Hubby, is the big action you ntioned just bringing here for dinner?"
"Of course not," Ye Xuan said, "Real happiness can’t be bought with money. We’re here for dinner purely to fill our stomachs."
Lin Tong gave Ye Xuan a doubtful look; at this mont, she was sowhat anticipating the big action Ye Xuan ntioned.
But since Ye Xuan didn’t elaborate, she didn’t ask further.
Thus, the two entered a quiet period, a speechless state common between Ye Xuan and Lin Tong.
As Lin Tong was extrely poor at making conversation, even with the person closest to her.
Ye Xuan, understanding Lin Tong’s character, didn’t force these matters for today’s plan; coming here for dinner was just a small part, the more significant part was the post-al action.
It’s much like setting up a date.
You find a beauty on Tantan, take her to a movie, take her to dinner, all just for a thrill when opening a room afterward?
Of course, Lin Tong can’t be compared with those won.
But Ye Xuan’s current mindset is sowhat like that, so he doesn’t care how this candlelight dinner turns out.
During leisure, Ye Xuan kept observing Lin Tong.
A sight to behold.
After a while, the exquisite candlelight dinner was served, and the two shared the al.
Lin Tong had a small appetite; Ye Xuan was not wasteful.
Eventually, Lin Tong ate only a small portion, and Ye Xuan finished about ninety percent of the food. If it weren’t for the high price, Ye Xuan could continue eating...
Contented after food and drink.
Ye Xuan, unfazed by the gazes of others, let out a deep belch and then shouted, "Waiter, check please!"
...
The autumn wind blew briskly by the City Ring Lake.
As night fell, the colored lights on the flood control dam by the lakeside illuminated, vibrant and captivating.
Various silhouettes ca and went on the dam, loving young couples, elderly companions with graying hair...
Undoubtedly, in this restless and resentful society, the flood control dam of each city is probably the last place of tranquility in the world.
Ye Xuan and Lin Tong walked hand in hand amidst the crowd; the autumn wind greeting them and the serene, desireless atmosphere around made both feel very relaxed.
Lin Tong seed to understand sothing, smiling as she said, "Hubby, is your so-called big action bringing walking on the flood control dam?"
"Wouldn’t that be a big action? For ordinary people, a post-al walk is a daily thing, but for you, isn’t it very rare?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Yes." Lin Tong sighed softly, "Such strolls have been scarce since my mom passed away."
"For ordinary people, causing earth-shattering events is a big action," Ye Xuan laughed, "But for you, a rare leisurely walk is a big action."
Lin Tong nodded, "Seems quite reasonable."
"As your only family mber now, it’s necessary for to occasionally let you experience life’s simplicity," Ye Xuan chuckled, "Elegant, leisurely, comforting, just relax; I don’t want to say much now, having just spent one hundred thousand bucks, my heart aches."
"Pfft!"
Lin Tong was amused.
Ye Xuan ignored this, the pained look on his face becoming more evident.
Lin Tong couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, and she smiled sweetly, "If it pains you, then why eat so fancy? Can’t we just make do at ho?"
"It’s all for appearances," Ye Xuan replied, "Besides, our ho is quite far from the dam, difficult to reach."
"True," Lin Tong nodded, "Why don’t we buy a place nearby?"
"Let’s skip that, moving houses is exhausting."
Ye Xuan expressed refusal, claiming it’s the hassle of moving, but truthfully, he couldn’t bear to separate from Liu Ying and the other ladies, living together is convenient for sleeping together and taking care of business.
Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan, said nothing more.
Typical seeing through without exposing.
Walking proved monotonous and dull, much like the candlelight dinner.
Perhaps due to the people involved directly, if replaced with Liu Ying, Ye Xuan dared to assure no matter what they did, it would be filled with enthusiasm.
The two walked aimlessly like this, not talking much, nor taking many actions.
Quiet, elegant.
Walking, Ye Xuan voluntarily let go of Lin Tong’s delicate hand, lit a cigarette, and quietly followed behind her.
Not that Ye Xuan disliked holding hands, a soft hand like Lin Tong’s wouldn’t tire throughout a lifeti.
It’s just that Ye Xuan suddenly had a delightful plan that required Lin Tong to enter a completely relaxed state, then surprising her unexpectedly.
But as long as Ye Xuan maintained physical contact with her, she’d never truly relax.
It’s not that she didn’t want to; she simply couldn’t.
Lin Tong herself seed aware of this, so when she noticed Ye Xuan releasing her hand, she only sneaked a glance at him without speaking.
She too longed for a state of complete relaxation.
That state was so distant; faintly rembered, relaxation felt very comforting...
