The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 326: A Little Flattered_1

That afternoon, Dongfang Yu arrived promptly to pick up Hai Xiaotang from school and immediately noticed something was off with her.

“Let’s eat out today. What do you feel like having?” He asked her, starting the car.

After thinking for a bit, Hai Xiaotang suggested, “Let’s go to Baiweizhai.”

She hadn’t eaten there in a while and suddenly craved it.

Dongfang Yu was surprised.

He expected her, as usual, to say ‘whatever’. But she didn’t—instead, she stated her preference, which took Dongfang Yu pleasantly by surprise.

“Sure, to Baiweizhai!” Dongfang Yu laughed, saying that he’d take her to Baiweizhai, even if she wanted to eat swan meat.

Hai Xiaotang put on her headphones and started listening to a foreign song, humming along occasionally.

Dongfang Yu snuck glances at her a couple of times but resisted interrupting her.

He didn’t want to break the current relaxing ambiance, even though they weren’t conversing.

Once at Baiweizhai, Dongfang Yu ordered many dishes Hai Xiaotang loved.

He never knew her tastes before.

He wasn’t sure when, but he had gradually come to understand all her culinary preferences…

Hai Xiaotang was feeling good, and her meal was delicious. Dongfang Yu offered her some of his dishes, but she declined, “No need, I can serve myself.”

Dongfang Yu understood; she genuinely didn’t need his help, it wasn’t a deliberate act of rejection.

“You’re in a good mood today?” Dongfang Yu couldn’t resist inquiring.

“Yeah, I figured some things out, so I’m feeling pretty good,” Hai Xiaotang readily acknowledged.

A burst of joy suddenly sprang up in Dongfang Yu’s heart!

He assumed she had come to terms with the possibility of them ending up together.

Suppressing his grin, Dongfang Yu tentatively asked, “How about we go to a movie after dinner?”

Hai Xiaotang rejected, “I have to go back and do homework.”

“I’ll help you tonight. I guarantee you’ll finish quickly. I’ve already bought movie tickets. Let’s go right after eating,” he insisted. As for the movie tickets…

He could immediately send a text to get them booked!

Hai Xiaotang had no choice but to agree, “Sure.”

Dongfang Yu felt even happier, thinking that his assumptions were being confirmed. But he didn’t dare ask, deriving more pleasure from cautiously seeking confirmation himself.

After dinner, they headed to the movie theater.

Dongfang Yu had love movies in mind, but when they arrived, Hai Xiaotang spotted a new cartoon film and changed her mind.

“I want to watch this!” She pointed directly to the cartoon poster.

Dongfang Yu was taken aback. He had never watched cartoons before…

Let alone other movies. They didn’t interest him at all.

“It looks good, okay, we’ll watch this one.” He agreed easily. After all, the purpose of being here was to date her; what they watched wasn’t important.

Plus, it was a rare occasion when she voiced a desire and naturally he wanted to cater to her.

But who would tell him why the audience mainly consisted of students…

Their adult presence amidst the sea of youngsters in the theater felt rather out of place.

The dating atmosphere was completely lost!

However, Hai Xiaotang enjoyed the movie which made Dongfang Yu enjoy himself too. He was simply captivated by her happiness.

It was then he realized that Hai Xiaotang was still a girl at heart, who enjoyed the same things young girls enjoyed.

Her interests weren’t broad like other girls—she just liked simple entertainment.

The movie experience was worth it because Hai Xiaotang was happy, Dongfang Yu thought.

As they left the auditorium, Dongfang Yu must have spotted something. He turned to Hai Xiaotang, “Wait for me a moment!”
