Chapter 2108: Is It Expensive to Dine Here?

When Shen Luo’an heard this, he simply gazed lovingly at her with a smile on his face, nodded and said, “Yes.”

When they arrived at the cinema, Shen Manting chose the movie, “Never Say Die” since it was the only movie that piqued her interest compared to all other movie options present.

Shen Luo’an did not object as he wanted to pamper her. He even agreed when Shen Manting asked for icecream after he already bought popcorn and Coke.

During the opening of the movie, the theatre was filled with laughter.

Shen Manting would occasionally voice out her doubts and ask questions like, “Dear, what does ‘Little Hairy Balls’ mean?”

“...Um, it means that that man is a little childish,” Shen Luo’an replied awkwardly, not wanting to tarnish her innocence.

“Oh,” said Shen Manting.

...

“Dear, her attempt at apologising is so half-hearted, it’s evident that she did not even try to kill herself properly to apologise nor did she seem remorseful. She’s not being sincere at all,” she said.

Shen Luo’an laughed at her remarks and hugged her as they continued to watch the movie.

They were practically rolling on the floor, laughing throughout the movie. When it was nearing the end, Shen Manting seemed very excited.

“Oh, he managed to salvage it! How dashing!” Shen Manting shrieked in excitement.

Shen Luo’an began to doubt his eye for beauty.

“So this... is dashing?” he wondered to himself.

When the male and female lead kissed, Shen Manting turned around and cosied up to him before she said, “Dear.”

When Shen Luo’an turned around, a pair of tiny lips tinged with the scent and flavour of ice cream and popcorn captured his lips and took him by surprise.

Shen Manting felt content so she shrunk back into her seat with the popcorn in her arms and stuck her tongue out at him.

Shen Luo’an could not help but chuckle and warned her in a low voice, “I’ll teach you a lesson when we return home.”

Shen Manting pretended not to hear this and turned around to continue watching the movie.

Shen Manting was exhilarated when the film ended.

“Dear, where are we going next?” she asked.

“Where do you want to go?” he asked back.

“The aquarium park!” Shen Manting exclaimed. She had a clear goal in mind and knew exactly where she wanted to go next.

Shen Luo’an smiled. “Sure,” he agreed.

The aquarium park in the Capital was huge.

The only thing that could capture Shen Manting’s attention enough and get her to stop running around the aquarium were the beautiful jellyfish that were swimming up and down like tiny umbrellas.

The colorful lights shone on their translucent bodies and it looked especially gorgeous.

Shen Manting was on the verge of sticking her face to the glass in her attempt to get as close to it as possible. “It’s so pretty!” she exclaimed.

“It’s dirty,” said Shen Luo’an as he reached out his hand to place it between her face and the glass. “Do you want to have some in our house as pets?” he asked.

Shen Manting’s eyes brightened up and she immediately looked up at him and asked, “Can I?”

“Sure,” said Shen Luo’an with a smile. “If you wish,” he said.

“Yes, I do!” Shen Manting chirped excitedly. “I like it so much!” she said.

“Alright, I’ll get someone to work on it,” Shen Luo’an said as he looked at her.

“Oh!” Shen Manting exclaimed and immediately hugged Shen Luo’an as she declared, “Dear, you’re the best!”

After saying this, she glanced left and right before quickly standing on her tippy toes to give him a peck on the lips.

Shen Manting’s teases tickled Shen Luo’an’s heart. But just when he was about to catch hold of her, she quickly released him, as if she was playing a prank on him.

She then jumped aside and looked at him with a grin on her face.

Shen Luo’an’s smile widened and he said, “You’re naughty. Come here.”

“No way!” said Shen Manting. With her hands behind her back, she bounded and skipped her way around the aquarium park.

She was as lively and naive as a child.

An actual, legitimate child.

Although Shen Luo’an was smiling, his heart felt oddly stifled.

Shen Luo’an ignored it and hurried after her while yelling out, “Slow down, don’t trip yourself up.”

“I won’t!” she replied.

...

“A romantic candlelight dinner is a must for a date!” thought Shen Manting.

Shen Luo’an brought her to a famous restaurant.

They took a seat at a table closest to the window which overlooked the entire Capital.

Shen Manting seemed completely awestruck as she looked down below, admiring the cityscape as she exclaimed, “Dear, it’s absolutely gorgeous!”

“You like it?” he asked.

“Yes!” she confirmed excitedly.

“We can come here often if you’d like,” Shen Luo’an said as he watched her with a smile on his face. “We’ll bring our son along the next time,” he said.

When Shen Manting heard this, she quickly glanced around and whispered, “Is it expensive to dine here?”
