Lu Xinyi sighed happily beside Shen Yi at the backseat of the car . A huge burger in her hand and a large cup of soda beside her, she took a huge bite . It tasted divine! She chewed slowly, savoring the juiciness of the burger patty on her mouth . Ah, this was way better on what the gala offered to their guest .
She'd tried their desserts but she found them too sweet for her taste buds . It was like pouring a ton of sugar on their cakes and pastries only to be down by bland and tasteless drinks . With her insistent, Shen Yi asked the driver to make a quick visit to her favorite restaurant to let her order her burger .
She was conscious to eat in front of him at first, but Lu Xinyi thought that it didn't matter . Her burger was cooked just right . The burger patty wasn't overcooked and dried . It had a nice sear to trap all the juices inside . The fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions added it helped bring a crisp texture and flavor depth that made her burger scream fresh . To add more depth to the flavor, the sauce complimented the other toppings well without overpowering them .
There was nothing graceful as you eat a slightly greasy burger in front of your husband, but damn it all to hell . Lu Xinyi thought . Shen Yi should wait or tolerate her while she tries to fill her stomach with food . She appreciated his effort though when he laid a hanky on her lap to make sure she wouldn't ruin her dress . How sweet was that!
No way she wouldn't enjoy her meal . Granted, her husband was delicious in his own way . His kisses were out of this world that made her toes curled every time he kisses her . Probably comparable to her burger, but right now she will choose the burger over his kisses, cause heck she didn't have an afternoon snack and dinner earlier .
Lu Xinyi glanced on her husband . She swallowed as she noticed the look in his eyes . She blindly took her soda and took a large gulp to wash down her burger .
"Is there something wrong?" she asked . He didn't respond but continued to look at her like she was kind of prey waiting to be devoured by him .
She was so satisfied with her meal that she patted her full stomach . Ah, this is life . Delicious food should always be available to lift up her mood . She did feel more happy and content that they confessed each other's feelings but still those words she hadn't heard clearly bugged him .
Lu Xinyi knew that she cannot force her husband to say it and probably she need to wait for sometime for him to say it again . She clutched the bag of burgers possessively . She still had plans to eat them later .
Shen Yi chose that moment to smirk at her and shook his head . The silence continued until the driver pulled the car into the driveway for VIP guests of the hotel, turning off the engine and opening the door for the couple .
They stepped outside . Shen Yi helped his wife to steady on her feet and was about to take the bag of burgers from her hand .
"No! This is mine . Back off!" Lu Xinyi protected her burgers from her husband's hands .
"You ordered three burgers, a large size of fries and two sodas . Are you telling me you don't have plans to share it with me?" Shen Yi asked feigning being hurt by his wife's claim .
"It's your fault not telling me you also want burgers too," she replied once they stepped inside the elevator .
Shen Yi escorted her back to their suite and opened the door for her . As soon as the door opened, a delicious scent of meat lingered within their suite .
"What is that?" Lu Xinyi asked . She left the bag of burgers at the nearest table to see what was it . Following the scent of that delicious aroma lead her to the dining area where two plates of grilled lamb chops were served on the table .
Shen Yi removed his coat and threw it on the couch . He was truly overjoyed when Lu Xinyi chose a suit without a need to have a bowtie or any neckties .
"I thought you said you're full . I guess these lamb chops will be mine . "
"What? No! That's unfair, Shen Yi . You didn't tell me there was something delicious waiting for us to come home . " Lu Xinyi whined, her husband merely laughed at her .
"Eh? After you refused to share those burgers with me?"
"Oh, my dear husband Shen Yi . My love . Milord . Please forgive this foolish mortal for her impertinence and spare her some lamb chops, please?" Lu Xinyi clasped her hands together and begged to her husband with puppy like eyes .
"Okay but you have to pay for it later . " That devilish grin sent red flags to Lu Xinyi but she was torn between the lamb chops and the payment from it .
Lu Xinyi had an idea what was it and she instantly covered her face in shame . Her mind kept on chanting 'it's alright, you can choose the meat . ' over and over .
"I choose the meat!" she conceded .
