She suspected him of bragging, but the taste of grilled lamb chops was indeed unparalleled. To this day, she still rembered the peculiar aroma from that day; otherwise, she wouldn’t have eaten so much and fallen sick.
She grumbled, "Ah, for the sake of food, I guess I can put up with it."
"What do you an ’put up with it’? Yan Xixi, listen well, this is of the utmost importance, even more important than studying at Harvard."
She was puzzled. "Hey, why are you suddenly so harsh? Do I really have to have a baby? What happens if I don’t?"
He said fiercely, "If you don’t, forget about lamb chops; you won’t get anything to eat."
She muttered, "Are you going to kick out?"
"If you don’t believe it, then try it."
She ignored him and asked the crucial question, "Oaf, have all my docunts been prepared?"
"Idiot, didn’t you already check them?"
"I’m about to leave, so I’m naturally nervous. I keep feeling like sothing’s been missed."
"Rest assured, everything’s set."
Her passport, visa, and all other docunts—he had helped with everything. While others ran themselves ragged for such things, she had barely lifted a finger.
Having connections in high places really makes things easier. The wisdom of the ancients always holds true.
"If it weren’t for you, I surely would have run myself ragged... Oaf, from now on, you’ll handle everything for , okay?"
"Idiot, I think you really are turning into a lazy pig."
She laughed heartily, hugging his waist even tighter. At this mont, her heart was filled with an unusual joy and sense of safety. It seed as if she had never felt so secure in her entire life. What a woman truly seeks isn’t necessarily absolute wealth and glory, nor an all-consuming passion, or even excessive sweetness and gentleness—what she must have is a sense of security.
This was the first ti she had unabashedly felt such a sense of security.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it herself, but that there was soone to do it for her. How wonderful.
Her face pressed against his back. "Brother Donglin, actually, I don’t want to be as strong and invincible as the Empress Dowager said... Actually, I just want to boss you around and have you do everything for ... HEE HEE..."
He chuckled. This silly girl, with her little sches.
"Brother Donglin, can you let boss you around like this forever?"
He laughed heartily. "Sa old rule: after we have a child, you can boss around however you like, even if it’s ten thousand tis more demanding. Otherwise, no deal."
She snorted. Such a pragmatic fellow!
"Okay, I’ll have a baby then! Is it such a big deal? It’s just having a baby! I’ll try to have one as soon as possible, maybe even tomorrow! I don’t care if it sses up my studies. You’re the one pushing into this, so you have to take full responsibility!"
"HA HA, I’ll take responsibility. I’ll definitely take responsibility. Is that okay?"
Only then did she elatedly release his waist to set out the dishes and cutlery.
Two lamb chops, a little red wine, and a plate of oranges to cut the grease. Eating until they were about seventy percent full—it was perfect.
Indeed, one shouldn’t overeat. Otherwise, one’s mind gets sluggish.
Yan Xixi lay contentedly on the carpet, her hands pillowed behind her head, her feet comfortably propped up. "Oaf, it’s ti for a new story today..."
He grinned, lying beside her in the sa pose.
"Hey, why does Rina keep insisting on inviting you to dinner?"
Her jealousy finally got the better of her, and she couldn’t resist asking.
Wan Donglin replied seriously, "A dinner invitation from Rina isn’t a simple affair. In fact, besides being a famous actress, she has multiple other identities..."
"What identities?"
