Lily is lying on her childhood bed while looking at the pink ceiling above her head. She also gets
excited like the color, “Yes, I bought several couplets, stickers, and also lanterns. I’ll hang it at home
later.”
The man’s voice over the phone pauses, “Are you going to plaster it in the Villa?”
“Yes, you didn’t want?” Lily simply fiddles it. Did he think it is too tacky to post something like that?
“I want,” Rex replies without thinking. However, no one has posted it before. There is only something
strange in the novelty.
Every year his home is deserted. Thus, when it comes to Chinese New Year, he only feels that it is a
lonelier day than usual. Thinking that she will decorate something this year, now he feels that New Year
is actually quite interesting.
“When will you come back?” When he thinks of this, he could not help but want to see her.
Lily speculates the time, “After dinner, maybe around seven o’clock. You’re not home, so I don’t feel
like to be at home too.”
Seeing that she still does not get along with Marina, they might not play any wicked trick.
“Then I’ll pick you up.”
“Okay.” Lily suddenly turns into a good mood and soars up from the bed to sit straight, “My mom said
that she’s going to cook dumplings for dinner. I’ll bring some for you.”
Rex has just finished a meeting and has not eaten lunch yet. High-intensity of work has also
suppressed his appetite. However, he becomes a little hungry after hearing this sentence. The sharp
black eyes are no longer fierce and show a hint of a smile, “Am I going to taste my mother-in-law’s skill
soon?”
Only a sentence and Lily’s face has blushed until her neck. She does not have that intention….
“I…”
“Looks like you’re eager to introduce them to me.” Rex interrupts her, deliberately misinterprets her
meaning, “Why, are you anxious that I’m going to meet them?”
“It’s not like that!” Lily thinks he has really misunderstood, and explains hurriedly, “I just remember you
and intended to bring you some, I don’t mean anything else!”
“You don’t have to be so embarrassed to admit it to me, I can understand.”
What the hell!
She really does not have this idea, she is just coincidentally thinking him, okay?
Lily feels like there is nothing she can do to clear her name. Thus, she gives up by shutting her mouth
to stop explaining. Anyway, no matter how she explains, she still determines that she thought so.
“Up to you, I won’t care.”
Listening to her tone, Rex seems to be able to imagine her expression at this moment. His thin lip
hooks up and forms a smile where she cannot see, “See you tonight, my little housekeeper.”
After he finished, he hangs up without giving her a chance to respond. …
Housekeeper?
Well, she has another nickname.
Even though it is not very nice, the tone he used is very gentle. Lily’s mouth is unpleasant, but her
heart has long rolled into a ball of plasticine, which is softly yet stickily shapeless.
She is lying and is dazing off on the bed when the door is knocked twice from the outside out of
sudden. It is Bree. “Lily, come out. The meal’s ready. Your dad has prepared one for you.”
Lily then puts away her phone and gets out of bed to put on her shoes hastily, “Okay, okay, coming!”
…..
After a meal, Lily rests for a while. In the evening, she helps Bree makes the dumplings. It is stuffed
with carrots and pork, which is rare but very delicious. After the carrot is boiled, it is very juicy. Only a
bite and you’ll taste it directly.
Lily eats the whole plate by herself. When she really could not eat anymore, she just puts down her
chopsticks.
When she is thinking about how to ask Bree to pack some for her, unexpectedly she has initiatively
said in advance, “Since you really like it, bring some with you. There are still so many lefts, it’ll be a
waste if you’re dad and I can’t eat it.”
Lily is worried that she has no excuse to say it. When she heard it, she nods immediately, “Okay, give
me more!”
At seven o’clock in the evening, Rex’s car appears downstairs on time. As it turns out that Lily looks
down from the fourth floor and sees the Bentley under the tree. It is really eye-catching among the
general car.
She gets back to the house and greets Bree and Harry, “Mom Dad, it’s late, I’ll get going now. You two
have been busy for the whole day, get some rest.”
“What time is it, you dad and I can’t sleep so early. Since you can hardly come back, stay for a while!”
While saying, Bree wants to pull her hand.
Harry stops her, “Your child still has some errand to do tomorrow. Don’t stop her. It is also already
seven o’clock already. It’s about time to go back.”
Lily nods hurriedly, “Yes, mom. I still need to work tomorrow.”
“Hmm, well. It’s hard to keep a grown-up daughter at home. I’m saying to you!” Bree packs the rest of
the dumplings for her. One is cooked, while the other one is crude. “Keep the raw one at the
refrigerator. It’s convenient to cook when you don’t have much time.”
“Okay, mom. I’m not a kid anymore.”
“You’re still a kid for me.” Bree hands her the meal box. When she sends her to the door, she does not
forget to whisper, “About your relationship with Rex, you must consider carefully, do you understand?”
“Hmm.” Lily smiles faintly and waves at her, “Relax, I’m leaving.”
Bree watches as she goes downstairs two steps at a time, and shakes her head helplessly, then closes
the door to get back into the house. Seeing Harry is still sitting on the sofa in the living room, her eyes
are already clear, “Did that car is still there?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. Didn’t you say that the car cost at least two thousand. Will our child suffer with this kind of
person…” Bree leans close to Harry. There is a worried tone that cannot be concealed.
Harry sips the black tea and sighs in a deep voice, “Don’t worry about her affairs. We’ve worried her
before and still nothing is good. Let her decide now. You can’t judge the person by its look.”
Bree thinks that it makes sense and stops talking.
….
Lily does not know that her parents have seen Rex. She bends down and trots along the way to the
car, then hurriedly urges him to leave, “Go quick!”
Rex glances at the seat belt on her side and stretches out his long arm to pull it over for her, “Why so
anxious?”
“I’m afraid my parents will see.”
Upon hearing this, Rex is unhappy. Since when did he become so unsightly?
He immediately asks in a calm voice, “Am I that shameful?”
“Hey, no. I’m just lack of confidence, okay.” Lily shakes her body coquettishly, “Let’s go, please~”
Rex has no idea how to face this appearance. Thus, he shakes his head in a compromise and starts
the engine to leave.
The Bentley Bentayga drives all the way out of the district gate, and Lily is relieved. She then puts the
dumplings in front of him and shakes it, “Have you eaten? This is for you.”
The man glances at it. When he is about to speak, as if finds something, his eyebrows tighten sharply,
“Where’s your ring?”
