After everything is ready, Rex waves his hand to signal the two waiters to leave. He then walks to the
bedside and pats the sleeping little woman gently. "Darling, wake up."
Lily has slept from the afternoon to the evening, so she doesn't feel so tired now. Feeling the slight
patting, she immediately opens her eyes and says, "Oh ... you're up?"
"Yes." Rex tidies the fluffy hair on her face and says in a soft voice, "The dinner is ready. Get up and
eat something."
But Lily shakes her head. "I'm not hungry."
She has just woken up, and she has no appetite at all.
"Go wash your face and sober up. You should eat something." If Lily refuses to have dinner, his plans
would be all in vain.
Thinking of this, Rex immediately lifts Lily up from the bed without saying anything. He takes her
straight to the door of the bathroom, as if he is afraid that Lily would turn around and rush out of the
suite.
Lily is still a little dizzy, so she simply washes up in the bathroom half-heartedly.
After washing up with cold water, she does sober up a lot. At the very least, she isn't as drowsy as she
was when she just woke up.
She hangs the towel on the shelf and is about to turn around to talk to Rex. But when she turns around,
she discovers that the tall figure who should have been standing behind her has disappeared.
She panics inexplicably and frowns slightly. She immediately gets out of the bathroom and walks
towards the living room of the suite, even without wiping a few drops of water off her chin.
However, when she gets to the living room and sees the Rex in a suit standing in the mid, she is lost for
words.
The white round table, the pink roses, plus the burning candles on the candlesticks... Everything in
front makes the air float with romance.
Lily does not expect Rex to have such a move, and she is shocked.
"You..."
"I told you. Tonight, there will be a lot of things to 'do'." Rex deliberately accentuates the last word, as if
he's worried that Lily can't discern the hidden meaning behind it.
Lily can't do anything other than blushing. She stands still at the spot and watches Rex walking towards
her. Rex holds her hand and brings her to the seat. He pulls out a seat for her gentlemanly and says,
"Have your seat, please."
Lily is a bit unaccustomed to Rex's serving. But when she sits down, she is unconsciously attracted by
the box of roses.
Lily herself is running a flower shop, so she is quite familiar with these stuffs. When she sees this
flower box, she knows that Rex must have taken a lot of effort to make it.
Roses always wither easily and don’t have multiple shapes. Therefore, it is not that easy to keep it in a
good look and freshness.
Lily happily fiddles with the flowers and accidentally touches something cold. At first, she thinks it is the
bottom of the flower box, so she doesn't pay much attention to it. But when she touches it several
times, she realizes that it can't be the bottom of the box, but...
Lily picks up the cold stuff from the flowers in a casual manner, spreads out her palm and places it
under the candlelight. It is a diamond bracelet!
She looks up at Rex opposite her in surprise. "This is...?"
"A wedding present for you." Rex enjoys Lily's current expression, which is the greatest satisfaction for
him, the surprise maker.
Lily looks at the bracelet with three rows of diamonds. She has known that Rex is rich, so she naturally
guesses that it must be very expensive. However, she has to say that the high price can guarantee the
quality of goods. This bracelet is so shining even under such inadequate lighting conditions. The
artisans who made it must have taken a lot of effort.
Lily holds the heavy diamond bracelet in her palm. She is clearly the one who receives the gift, but she
feels a little worried for some reason. "You've already bought a lot for me recently, too many for me to
wear. So, there's no need to buy such pricey gifts anymore..."
"You don't like it?" Rex raises his eyebrows. They are simply not speaking about the same thing.
Lily shakes her head. "No, I like it very much. I just don't think it's necessary."
Normally, when a man buys a jewelry necklace to his girlfriend or wife, the gift should be at most a
luxury brand, but what about Rex? He always buys her some top-notch collection. She really ... couldn't
afford to receive it.
It is enough to have one or two pieces of collection, but the full set is still a bit too much for her.
Although Lily is living a good life now, she doesn’t like the extravagant and wasteful lifestyle. After all,
she has grown in a tough environment since she was a little girl.
Rex knows what Lily is thinking and appreciates her precious simplicity. He does not argue with her but
says, "Keep the bracelet. It's bought, after all. I will take care in the future."
His words are a tactic of delay. After all, no one could say what would happen in the future.
However, Lily is convinced of it, thinking that Rex takes her words into consideration.
The bracelet on her fair and slender wrist is much more beautiful than it looks. Lily looks at the glittering
diamonds hanging on it, revealing her sincere love for it.
No woman can resist the temptation of flowers and jewelry, just like men love cars and beauties. This is
the essence of a woman, something that can't be changed.
Rex is also satisfied after seeing Lily's happy face. He raises his hand to remove the huge lid from the
plate of food for her. A delicious and tender beefsteak with fresh asparagus and two kinds of sauce are
revealed, enough to make Lily appetite boil.
The temperature of the food is just right. Lily picks up a knife and fork and sends a piece of the steak
into her mouth. The top-grade beef melts in her mouth. It's easy to chew it up. And then a faint
fragrance of meat remains in her mouth.
Even if Lily doesn't ask the cook, she can imagine that the white fat and red lean meat must be
distributed evenly and densely on the meat before it is cooked.
She couldn't help but marvel at the steak, "How delicious! Come on and taste it!"
Rex catches a glimpse of Lily's wide-eyed smile and suddenly feels that the expression on her face
when she saw the diamond bracelet earlier is not so pleasing.
"Isn't it just a piece of meat? Are you happier than getting a diamond bracelet?" Rex says in a rejecting
tone, but his eyes are filled with affection.
"They are different!" Lily explains as if she is introducing a treasure to him. "One is physical
satisfaction, while the other is spiritual satisfaction. We can't mix them up, but they're both satisfaction!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Rex raises his eyebrows and his slender fingers holding the knife and fork pause
for a short while. He bends over and leans closer to Lily, asking, "What about me? What kind of
satisfaction you get from me?"
"What are you talking about? I mean..." Lily is just about to correct Rex when she realizes what he
means. She immediately turns silent and glares at him with a red face. "There you go again!"
Lily's face is illuminated by the orange candle light. Her skin is so tender and slippery that it seems to
be able to reflect light. Her black and white watery eyes are shining as she looks over. And her small
mouth unconsciously opens slightly. Her fair face reveals a beautiful crimson. At this moment, Rex
understands what a stunning woman looks like.
Lily is so enchanting that he doesn't even have the mood to have dinner. He just wants to "eat" her. For
him, Lily is that delicacy.
