Si Lili couldn't help but mutter to herself: This man usually seems quiet and reserved, rarely speaking, but I never expected him to be so shameless in front of me.
She was just feeling guilty and tripped by accident, not because she was looking at him. How did it become that she was attracted to his good looks and tripped because she was peeking at him?
Si Lili looked shyly at Tang Shuo's broad and strong back, feeling his powerful arms tightly embracing her as he strode forward.
She gently rested her head on Tang Shuo's shoulder, then mustered her courage and whispered in his ear, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Tang Shuo seemed not to hear her, continuing to carry her steadily forward with a faint smile on his lips.
After a moment, he slowly replied, "No, let me carry you."
That way you can admire my handsome face however you like without any inhibitions.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head slightly to meet her gaze, his eyes full of tenderness and doting affection.
Si Lili felt she couldn't get over the hurdle of secretly peeking at Tang Shuo, so she rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Who wants to see your face? Stop being so vain!"
Tang Shuo's Adam's apple bobbed as he let out a series of low, slightly mocking laughs: "Hehehe... It's okay if you don't want to watch now. We have plenty of time. You can enjoy it slowly after you've eaten and drunk your fill."
As they spoke, the two arrived at the parking spot.
Tang Shuo opened the passenger door and gently placed Si Lili inside. Then, he considerately helped her fasten her seatbelt.
He stared at her smooth, delicate forehead and gave it a quick kiss.
Then, he withdrew his body as if nothing had happened.
"Ah!" Before Si Lili could react, Tang Shuo took the opportunity to grope her.
She was so surprised her eyes almost popped out. She stared straight at Tang Shuo as he swaggered to the driver's seat.
He plopped down on his backside, then quickly started the car and drove off to Kyoto's most famous Western restaurant.
He looked as if he wasn't the lecherous scoundrel from before.
The two arrived at the Western restaurant, and Tang Shuo took Si Lili to the rooftop.
The first thing you see is a long, rectangular table covered with a white lace-trimmed tablecloth, with two candles lit on it.
In the flickering candlelight, two perfectly seared steaks sat on a plate, and red wine gleamed enticingly in a stemmed glass.
Si Lili stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, completely frozen in place, unable to move for a long time.
Time passed second by second, but she remained immersed in the immense shock and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
It should be noted that she and Tang Shuo were never separated for a single moment from beginning to end.
Throughout their journey, the two were almost inseparable, and she never noticed any sign that Tang Shuo had made a phone call or sent a text message.
So the shocking scene that was presented to her at this moment truly surprised her, and filled her with doubt and confusion.
When and how did Tang Shuo prepare all of this so perfectly?
This question was like a mystery, lingering in Si Lili's mind, leaving her completely baffled.
Tang Shuo reached out and pulled out the chair next to the table, making a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, and said playfully, "Your Highness, please sit down."
Si Lili was pulled back to reality by his captivating voice, and involuntarily walked over and sat down in the chair.
With a polite smile, she said softly, "Thank you!"
"No need to be so formal. It's my honor to serve Her Highness the Princess." Tang Shuo gave her a fond look and then sat down opposite her.
With a smile on his face, he snapped his fingers crisply and loudly into the air, and instantly, a melodious and gentle tune began to play from behind him.
The beautiful melody seemed to possess a magical power, captivating listeners and making them unable to tear themselves away.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, slender, and elegant man appeared in Si Lili's field of vision.
He was dressed in a black tailcoat, holding a beautiful violin, and walked slowly and unhurriedly from the doorway with light and steady steps.
As he drew closer, the melodious and pleasant music became clearer, like a crystal-clear stream flowing merrily from his nimble fingertips.
When he reached the dining table, he stopped, but his violin playing continued without pause.
The exquisite piano music filled the air around Si Lili, as if transporting her into a dreamlike musical world.
Just then, several well-trained restaurant waiters entered in succession, carrying flowers, exquisite gift boxes, fruit salads, and desserts.
They stood straight in front of Si Lili and Tang Shuo, waiting for the guests to appreciate and express their opinions.
Tang Shuo glanced at the items in the waiter's hands and said to Si Lili, "Your Highness, this is something I've carefully prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Looking at the flowers, the exquisite gift box, and her favorite desserts in the waiter's hands, and hearing Tang Shuo call her "Princess" repeatedly, Si Lili felt very touched and realized that he was truly pampering her like a princess.
Her eyes sparkled, and she nodded excitedly, "I love it!"
This is the first time someone has ever invited her to a candlelight dinner, given her flowers and gifts, and brought her so many surprises!
It would be a lie to say I don't like it; I doubt any woman in the world could resist such temptation.
Tang Shuo stood up, took the flowers from the waiter and handed them to Si Lili, then opened the gift box and placed it in front of her.
He half-squatted down, his expression serious, and solemnly confessed again: "Lili, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Si Lili asked suspiciously, "Didn't you already confess your feelings to me at the beach?"
Tang Shuo patiently explained, "The beach trip was too rushed, I didn't prepare anything, that doesn't count. This time is the real deal! You still haven't said whether you'd like to be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!" Si Lili accepted the flowers he offered and readily agreed.
"Okay, I'm serious. From now on, you're my woman, and you absolutely can't go flirting with other men. Otherwise, I'll get angry."
Tang Shuo picked up the diamond necklace from the gift box and personally put it around Si Lili's neck, asserting his ownership.
"Okay! I got it," Si Lili replied obediently.
Even without Tang Shuo's repeated declarations, she would not betray him.
You have to understand that in her heart, Tang Shuo occupies the majority of the world, and no one else can even squeeze in.
Si Lili enjoyed Tang Shuo's attentive care all night, being cut steak and poured wine for him.
She was surrounded by happiness and felt it was all too real.
As for when she got home and how she got back to her room, Si Lili had no recollection whatsoever.
