Chapter 123 Mr. Xi Cooks for Love
The fragrance of flowers filled the entire night.
Amidst the dazzling stars, the girl's eyes are bright, causing the man staring at her to gradually fall in love with her.
Xi Jiu looked into her eyes, his thoughts pulling away from his memories. He released his hand from the girl's waist and stretched it out in front of her.
"Baby," the tall and handsome man's eyes were full of tenderness, "Let's go home together."
…
The wrought iron gate decorated with flowers slowly opened.
Ruan Qi walked into the manor hand in hand with Xi Jiu, stepping on the fragrant flowers on the ground.
The manor was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see. The path leading to the main building was paved with pale pink cobblestone tiles. Specially cultivated cherry blossom trees stood quietly on either side. It wasn't cherry blossom season, but the petals still fell in a cloud of pink.
Ruan Qi had never experienced such a beautiful and gentle night scene. Falling cherry blossoms covered the pale pink floor tiles in a thin layer. Above them was a dazzling starry sky, and before them lay a dreamy castle. She and Xi Jiu walked among them, the pink petals gently falling on their heads and shoulders, a beauty that was intoxicating.
She let Xi Jiu hold her hand as they walked along the cherry blossom path, past the crescent-shaped fountain, across the small bridge with gurgling water, and finally arrived in front of the main building.
Under the light as bright as daylight, Ruan Qi could clearly see the appearance of the main building of the castle.
The gray-blue walls were carved with delicate and intricate patterns. Countless flowers climbed from the base of the walls, winding and covering the space between the second and third floors.
All the rooms in the castle had arched windows, and the walls outside the windows were inlaid with beautiful colorful bricks. Ruan Qi got closer and found that these bricks were all carved with various cute candy patterns.
Ruan Qi reached out and touched the patterns on the candies, with surprise and joy showing on her face.
"Jiujiu, who is the designer of this castle?" she couldn't help but ask.
Xi Jiu didn't answer her question. He looked down at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just think this designer is amazing!" The little girl's eyes sparkled. "When I was little, I really wanted to build a castle and paint all kinds of candies on the walls. Jiujiu, this designer actually has the same idea as me!"
Xi Jiu hummed, looked at her intently, and asked, "Does the baby like this design?"
"I like it! I like it very much!" Ruan Qi touched the candy pattern on the wall, her eyes full of joy. "I like every detail of this manor. It's exactly like my dream!"
The man standing next to her had a faint smile in his eyes.
He did not tell her who the designer of the castle was, nor did he say that the designer spent a whole year and made countless revisions before finalizing the drawings.
He just held her hand and pushed open the main building door with her.
The interior design of the castle is based on Ruan Qi's favorite decoration style. It is not overly luxurious or exaggerated, and every place is full of warm beauty without losing its grandeur.
Because the castle is so huge, it would definitely take more than an hour to explore it all. Ruan Qi had just performed on stage for two hours and hadn't eaten all night, so Xi Jiu asked her to explore it again tomorrow.
He took the little girl through the front hall of the main building and went directly to the small restaurant at the back.
However, although it is a small dining room, it is much larger than the living room of an ordinary main house.
Candles were already placed on the four-person dining table in the restaurant. Since Ruan Qi couldn't drink alcohol, Xi Jiu replaced the red wine with a grape wine that had a slight alcoholic flavor but was non-alcoholic.
"Baby," he pulled out the dining chair, let the little girl sit down, bent down and kissed her forehead, "Wait for me for twenty minutes, dinner will be ready soon."
