My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 614 - 018: Bet_2

"What are you looking at? You haven’t stopped since you left your company."

"I’m checking which skewer restaurant has better reviews! So we can go there tonight!"

"We haven’t even started this meal, and you’re already thinking about the next one. Aren’t you just eyeing the bowl while checking the pot? Can’t you take it step by step? Aren’t you afraid you’ll choke on it?"

"I’m not afraid, I just want to look. It’s not like looking will make me lose flesh or land." Yun Xi made a playful face at him and said with a laugh, "After we eat BBQ, we can’t just dash to the skewers, right? We need to digest a bit, and there’s some time before dinner."

"So, what are you getting at?" Lu Xize squinted at her, catching the hint behind her words.

"Accompany me for a stroll!"

"Can I refuse?"

"Do you want to refuse?" Yun Xi pursed her lips and pouted, asking earnestly.

"Can you promise I won’t get hit if I refuse?"

"Hmm, no, at most I’ll block you, and we won’t interact for the rest of our lives. Isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of? Wanna make it happen?"

"When did I ever say that? I could never say something so inhumane; it must be your wild imagination!"

"Ha, don’t you know how inhumane you are? Do you have any clarity in that heart of yours? Ridiculous."

"You can’t attack me like that, it’s so unfair!"

"Scram!"

"Since you want to go shopping, this young master will, reluctantly, accompany you!" Just as Lu Xize finished speaking, Yun Xi shot him a warning look, so he quickly changed his tune, "Uh... it’s an honor, really an honor. Being able to shop with the young lady of the Yun Family is definitely my luckiest opportunity, a blessing I must have earned by saving the Galaxy in a past life."

The flattery was so over-the-top and obvious that Yun Xi didn’t even want to bother responding, so she just rolled her eyes at him, "Just keep your mouth shut and say nothing."

"Alright, I’ll mute."

After all the meat she ordered arrived, Yun Xi expertly brushed oil onto the stone plate to start grilling the meat. The pieces were quite large, needing to be cut with scissors. The oil on the stone plate sizzled and occasionally splattered onto her fair arm, making her instinctively flinch back in pain, her small mouth pouting.

"Let me do it!" Finally, Lu Xize couldn’t stand it any longer. Seeing her get splattered by oil twice, he reached out to snatch the tongs and scissors from her hands, "Move your hand a bit, so you don’t get splattered again."

At his words, Yun Xi obediently withdrew her hand. Watching him grill the meat intently, a slight curve lifted at her lips, feeling a tinge of glee in her heart.

Though sometimes he could be annoyingly cheeky, it must be said that he could be quite attentive and considerate at times. He also had his gentle moments, although those were rare to see, contrasted with his usual cheeky and shameless self.

While he grilled meat, Yun Xi was thoroughly enjoying her meal. But she’s not heartless; seeing him working hard, she added more meat on the stone plate for him and wrapped a piece for him, placing it on his plate, "Don’t just grill, have some, too. After eating, you can grill more! There’s so much already grilled. This bacon and pork belly are delicious, especially with this kimchi. You have to try it."

Hearing her words, Lu Xize raised an eyebrow, put down the scissors and tongs, picked up the grilled meat she placed in his bowl, and tasted it. It was indeed good, so he nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, the taste is quite nice."

"Of course, anything I choose can’t be bad, especially when it comes to food. I’m an expert; my taste never falters." Yun Xi wasn’t bragging; she was stating a fact. When it comes to food, she feared no one.

"You really puff up with a little praise, don’t you?"

Yun Xi playfully stuck out her tongue at him, but her hands didn’t stop moving, continuing to enjoy a variety of meats and vegetables with great joy.

After they finished eating, Lu Xize paid the bill, and when they walked out of the restaurant, it was already three-thirty in the afternoon. The sunlight was falling, and the winter breeze rustled the tips of the camphor leaves by the roadside.

"Where are you planning to stroll now?"

"It’s quite lively here. Let’s just wander around nearby! Besides, the weather is nice today, the sun is shining, and it’s not cold at all. Just a walk to digest!" Yun Xi, dressed in a red cape coat, looked vibrant yet elegant, like a rose blooming brightly under the golden sunlight.
