"Get up . You're being lazy again . " Lu Xinyi shook her husband shoulders but Shen Yi refused to move from his position . She glared at his childish actions .
"I have the right to be lazy today . We can deal with the gala later . Let me take a break . " Shen Yi grunted . He decided to cancel all his meetings for today to make up for the lost time he had with Lu Xinyi the night before .
It was still early in the morning, after having their breakfast Shen Yi laid his head at Lu Xinyi's lap and used it as a pillow while she watched a programme on the television . Lu Xinyi sighed and leaned back on her seat while absentmindedly brush her husband's bangs away from his face .
Shen Yi's eyes dropped closed and drifted to sleep . It was after an hour when he woke up again, still on his wife's lap . Adjusting his position so that he was comfortable, Shen Yi slipped an arm around her waist to pull her closer and closed his eyes . Lu Xinyi had turned off the television and busy on her phone .
"How long are you going to sleep?" Lu Xinyi complained .
"Have pity on your husband . He needs some love from his wife . "
Lu Xinyi bit her lower lip, a blush staining her cheeks bright red .
"You should move to the bed if you're planning to sleep more . "
"Nope, it's better to sleep in your lap . Comfier than pillows . It's better than you think . " Shen Yi murmured, his arm tightening on her waist .
Lu Xinyi giggled on whatever video she was watching on her phone . With bleary eyes, Shen Yi looked at her seeing her on her phone while her hand playing a short lock of his hair .
"These cats are so funny . " she laughed, then turned her phone for him to see . He quirked a brow when he saw a fluffy cat stuck between a screen door and the main door .
"Why do girls love cats?" he asked .
"Eh? Because they're cute and silly at times . "
Shen Yi shook his head and let it fell back to her lap .
"I will never understand why women love cats . They say cats are independent . They don't listen to their owners . They don't come in when you call and like to stay out all night . And when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep . In other words Xinyi, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat . "
Lu Xinyi grinned .
"Are you worried that I'm going to adopt cats? I don't think Mallows and Milktea will like to share their home with some kitties . "
"Hmm… you better remember that . I don't want you to become a little old lady with a bunch of cats . "
His wife snickered .
"Who says I'm going to be a cat lady?!"
Shen Yi's grin curved devilishly . Lu Xinyi was beginning to regret what she'd said .
"Of course, dear . We will have a lot of babies than cats . "
Lu Xinyi slapped her forehead . She knew it was coming .
---
Now, she was nervous . Lu Xinyi cursed herself for panicking earlier . She should've done dressing if Shen Yi woke her up earlier from her afternoon nap .
The gala was tonight and she was trying to figure out how should she prepare herself to look presentable as Shen Yi's date . She assumed that her husband was already ready and just finishing some work so at least she didn't have to worry about him .
Taking the dress from the closet she unzipped its cover to see a beautiful off shoulder light orange dress with some translucent material to overlay the bottom half of it . She still couldn't believe that she was able to wear something as beautiful as this dress .
Lu Xinyi hurriedly got dressed and did her make up . The ending result was surprising, at least for her . Her hair was in curls, bouncing softly over her shoulders . Her makeup was very light as always but it looked totally different from her normal looks . The orange dress fit perfectly and was very comfortable to wear .
All in all, she was impressed .
A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts .
'Oh, here we go, Xinyi . Now, don't make a fool out of yourself . '
She opened the door and gawk at her husband . He looked so perfect— a beautiful navy blue suit with an inner light orange shirt to match her dress . His suit in pristine condition with no crease or lines . Nothing was out of place .
"You look beautiful, by the way . " Shen Yi spoke out . "Do you think we could go to the nearest chapel so I can marry you again?"
Lu Xinyi blushed more as his hand lightly touched the curls along her temples .
"We should probably go . " she murmured .
A small smile made its way on his face . Shen Yi leaned forward to kiss her forehead before extending an arm out for hers .
"We shall go then, milady . "
