"Then I’ll switch anyti!" Leng Mochen held the little one in his arms. "How about we shower together?"
Li Si’s face turned bright red as she pushed him forcefully. "Absolutely not! You shower yourself!" She was far too embarrassed to be naked with him under the bright lights. The re thought of it made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
"Alright then!" He touched his chin, realizing this particular wish might not be fulfilled anyti soon.
"You go first!" Li Si shoved him toward the bathroom. Leng Mochen shot her a mischievous grin as he turned back. "You’re not letting take clothes to change into. Are you hoping to catch a glimpse of a handso man fresh out of the shower?"
"What! You—!" She was so flustered and furious she almost wanted to kick him off the planet. "If you keep this up, I’m leaving!"
"Don’t! I’m just teasing you, sweetheart. Don’t get mad! Here, let’s tour the room first!" With that, he quickly opened the wardrobe, pulled out so clothes, and walked into the bathroom.
When Leng Mochen erged from his lightning-fast shower, Li Si was no longer in the room. He glanced around while vigorously drying his damp hair with a towel.
"Sweetheart! Where are you?" Tossing the towel aside, he slipped on his flip-flops and left the room. Hearing the sound of a TV downstairs, he leaned against the second-floor staircase railing and imdiately spotted her watching television in the living room.
Li Si heard him calling, then looked up to see him lounging lazily at the staircase in a white bathrobe. She responded softly, "What is it?"
Leng Mochen crooked his finger at her with a wicked grin. "Co here!" The little one was trying to evade him.
"No, I’m staying here! I’m not even sleepy yet. I’ll just watch so TV!" Li Si shook her head. Having toured his room earlier and finding it dull, she had wandered downstairs and discovered that watching TV wasn’t a bad way to pass the ti. Coincidentally, the screen was playing Yin Enwei’s *’Princess Hours.’*
Leng Mochen sighed and ca downstairs to sit beside her, wrapping his arm around the person deliberately ignoring him. "Is this more entertaining than ?"
"Of course not! Just let finish this episode!" She purposefully avoided making eye contact. The fresh, clean scent lingering on him combined with his familiar warmth surrounded her, leaving her feeling slightly dizzy.
Leng Mochen smirked, turning her face towards him. "Avoiding isn’t like you! Co on, if you can’t walk, I’ll carry you upstairs!"
Caught red-handed, Li Si grinned sheepishly. "This show’s really good. How about we watch it together? Just one episode!" She clung to his arm, her eyes pleading.
"Alright then." Leng Mochen shook his head helplessly. How could he not indulge her when he adored her so much? He pulled her into his arms with a firm embrace, whispering in a low voice near her ear, "Just one episode!"
"Mm!" She nodded, doing her best to ignore the warmth radiating from him, focusing intently on the TV screen.
During this ti, soone couldn’t seem to stay quiet. He would occasionally stroke her back or plant a quick kiss on her cheek, making her breath catch and her heart race wildly. By the end of the episode, she had no idea what had even happened in the show.
As the ending the song played, Leng Mochen gave her no chance to object. He scooped her up in a princess carry. "Ah! You..." The sudden loss of ground under her feet startled her.
"Ti for bed!" His eyes glead as they fixed on her, a glint she interpreted as mischievous intent.
She protested, "Just sleeping!"
"Of course!"
And the result? That promise of just sleeping turned out to be yet another fairy tale lie...
The next day was Sing’s soft opening. Li Si had planned to visit early to check on things, but it never happened!
Because after being "thoroughly dealt with" multiple tis the night before, she had collapsed into a deep slumber, only waking up groggily around 1 PM in the afternoon...
Li Si noticed a little note left on the bedside table by Leng Mochen. It read:
Sweetheart, rest well at ho today. Wait for tonight! There’s a sandwich I made personally in the microwave. Make sure to eat it when you wake up!
Signed: Your loving husband
Her heart swelled with sweetness as she held the note, reading it over and over. Recalling how, at a critical mont the previous night, he had suddenly paused to put on a protective "raincoat," she realized she had overlooked sothing and anxiously asked him what they’d do if she ended up pregnant.
Only then did she learn that while they were in Bali, he’d bought ergency contraceptives but had thrown them away after reading how harmful they could be to her. If she got pregnant, they’d get married imdiately—he was, in fact, excited about having their child!
Li Si gently touched her flat belly and smiled in relief. Whatever happens, happens. Yet a small part of her felt nervous. Her period was still so ti away, so it wouldn’t be long before she found out the result!
As for Sing, even though Li Si didn’t go in person, everything proceeded smoothly and exceeded expectations.
