My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 565: Mo Yinhe: Dad, Let Si Yuan Marry! 1
Ye Siyuan was overwhelmingly excited. It was completely unexpected, and she was utterly clueless as to how to contain her joyous surprise. She straightforwardly flung herself into Si Lisao’s arms. Without any reserve, her passion affected Si Lisao. He held her in his arms and asked, "Surprised?"
"You’re so bad! You’re really so bad! When did you arrive? How could I not have known!"
In the past, as soon as Si Lisao stepped foot into Yecheng, she would quickly receive news. However, today she hadn’t received any messages, so this surprise was a genuine one. She was so happy, her grin stretched from ear to ear, unconcerned by the glances from other guests around them.
Si Lisao hugged her for a while, then gently separated them. He reached out to ruffle her hair and said, "Let me get a good look at you."
He couldn’t see her face well while hugging her.
Ye Siyuan immediately took a step back; she was looking at him too. She noticed he had lost a lot of weight, even more than when she saw him on video calls—his handsome facial features were more pronounced!
Her nose suddenly stung with unshed tears. "Why have you lost so much weight? Your face has no meat on it anymore!"
Actually, there was still flesh; his features were just more defined, making him look even more strikingly handsome. But Ye Siyuan’s heart ached for him, and her eyes reddened with distress.
Then, she suddenly remembered and shrieked, "Ah!" Startled, she covered her face with her hands. "I’m not wearing any makeup!"
Today, she was truly bare-faced; not to mention makeup, even her clothes were casual. She had never let Si Lisao see her like this before.
"BOO HOO HOO... you wait here for me! I need to go home, put on some makeup, and change my clothes."
Si Lisao swiftly grabbed her slender wrist, not allowing her to leave.
He gently pressed her into a chair, urging her to sit.
He leaned down to gaze at her face. "No need for makeup, you’re beautiful."
"’I know you’re just trying to make me feel better.’" Ye Siyuan’s heart swelled with secret delight, but she maintained a modest facade, hoping he would praise her more, perhaps calling her a natural beauty.
No woman wouldn’t want a man to say she’s a natural beauty, a top-notch belle even without makeup—as if, on a scale of one hundred for beauty, she alone occupied 99.9 points.
Si Lisao reached out, gently pinching her cheek, so tender and fair it seemed delicate enough to be marked by a touch. Her skin was soft, pale, and flawless, seemingly poreless even without makeup. Her hair, somewhat messy and tied up with a hairband, added a touch of wildness and casual charm that differed from her usual meticulous grooming, making her very attractive. Si Lisao found his gaze lingering on her.
In his deep eyes, her clear reflection was mirrored.
That gaze spoke more than a thousand sweet nothings.
Ye Siyuan’s heart felt like it was about to melt.
"’Siyuan, you are truly beautiful,’ Si Lisao said softly."
Ye Siyuan blushed, a flush creeping up her face.
"’I really want to marry you and take you home right now.’"
Ye Siyuan’s ears turned red.
Seeing her cute reaction, Si Lisao laughed. He rose, his tall figure standing out, pulled out the chair opposite her, and sat down. Then he handed her the menu. "Take a look at what you want to eat and order plenty. I need to replenish my strength."
Ye Siyuan smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead. Cradling the menu, she studied it intently and ordered many dishes.
The sun gradually set, its fading light casting a hazy, intimate glow over them.
The waiter brought the dishes they had ordered one by one, and the two chatted while they ate.
It took quite a while for Ye Siyuan to completely calm down. She kept putting food on Si Lisao’s plate. "Why are you in Yecheng?" she asked. "Isn’t the epidemic in Shendu over yet? I thought I wouldn’t see you for months."
"’Bo Leng has recovered. He’s handling the remaining matters in Shendu.’"
"Oh, what about my brother and sister-in-law?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"’They are still in Shendu.’"
Ye Siyuan complained, "’Bo Leng is too much! Making you eat congee every day—what was he thinking?’"
Si Lisao smiled but didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Siyuan, could you accept a man who can’t cook?"
"’Huh? Even my dad knows how to...’"
Ye Siyuan realized her slip of the tongue and quickly covered her mouth. Shaking her head, she said, "I don’t mind! It’s not like we don’t have chefs at home. Besides, I can’t cook either."
Si Lisao didn’t quite register her last words. So, it really is a problem if a man can’t cook, huh? he thought. Maybe I should sign up for a cooking class. He knew Bo Leng had already secretly enrolled in one.
Spotting a piano in a corner of the restaurant, Ye Siyuan felt inspired. "I’ve recently composed a new song," she said. "Shall I play it for you?"
Si Lisao held a glass of red wine, swirling it elegantly. He adopted an expression of eager anticipation, ready to listen.
Ye Siyuan excitedly walked over to the piano and began to play the piece she had just composed.
Every soaring note seemed to carry her profound longing.
Si Lisao sipped his fine wine, sensing the affection woven into every note. This girl... so delightful to behold, he mused. I find myself liking her more and more.
He couldn’t wait to marry her and bring her home.
The sun had completely set. As the outdoor light faded, the warm, intimate lighting inside became more pronounced.
In the flickering candlelight, a captivating, almost intoxicating gleam shone in Si Lisao’s eyes.
When Ye Siyuan finished her piece, many of the guests applauded.
Ye Siyuan, basking in the attention, proudly walked over to Si Lisao. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and rested her chin in her hands. "So, what did you think?"
"’It was beautiful.’"
Ye Siyuan smiled even more joyfully.
She remained joyful throughout the two-hour meal.
After dinner, they went for a stroll.
Ye Siyuan clung to Si Lisao’s arm as they walked among other couples on the street. It felt like a dream.
As they passed by a large mall, Si Lisao asked her, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"’Don’t men usually hate shopping for clothes with women? Never mind, I’ll go with my girlfriends another day.’"
Si Lisao indeed had little interest in shopping. However, if the person was her, his interest was piqued. I’d really like to buy her something, he thought.
"’Does your brother dislike shopping for clothes with Mingjing?’"
"’Of course not! My brother loves buying clothes for my sister-in-law. He’d have her wear a new outfit every day if he could—how else would he show off his wealth?’"
Si Lisao raised an eyebrow. "’In that case, let’s go.’"
Si Lisao’s eyes rested on her shoulder as he stepped into the mall.
This was Yecheng’s most luxurious mall, filled with high-end brands. It bustled with shoppers because Yecheng was a tax-free haven. Many tourists came here to buy clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics, so the mall was very crowded.
They entered a top-tier designer womenswear boutique. After a quick scan, Si Lisao selected an outfit and handed it to her. "Go try this on."
"’Hehe, just wait!’"
Perfect, she thought. I felt I was dressed too casually anyway.
Ye Siyuan took the clothes into the fitting room. When she emerged moments later, she looked absolutely stunning.
Si Lisao, seated on the sofa, nodded repeatedly. He pointed to other outfits he had carefully selected, gesturing for the sales assistant to have her try them on one by one.
It’s said that "clothes make the man, and a horse relies on its saddle." However, when Ye Siyuan wore these outfits, it was her perfect figure that enhanced them, making the clothes themselves seem even more high-end.
Several female customers, who had initially only planned to browse, were astonished when they saw Ye Siyuan emerge in the new outfits. One after another, they declared they wanted to buy the same items to try on for themselves!
