Li Muxin had never cooked Western food, so the two of them followed Han Shilin's "cheat sheet", cutting onions, making soup, and frying steaks while studying.
Although the two had a quarrel during the process, Li Muxin thought that Han Shilin was the "birthday boy" today, so he "let" him and obeyed his command.
About forty minutes later, an exquisite Western-style dinner was placed on the white dining table.
Li Muxin felt a little tired, and her stomach started to growl again. Just as she was about to sit down and take a bite of salad, she was stopped by Han Shilin.
"Wait a moment."
Han Shilin returned to the kitchen, mysteriously took out a birthday cake and carefully placed it in the center of the dining table.
Holding a bunch of candles in hand, plug them in.
Li Muxin didn't respond at first, but she followed Han Shilin's movements with her eyes and silently counted the numbers in her mind. When it was over, she was so frightened that she almost fell down on her chair without moving.
Actually...there are "40" roots!!
Shocked!!
It turns out that Han Shilin not only falsely reported the month of his birth, but also falsely reported the year. He...he...he must have taken good care of himself!
Han Shilin had guessed early on that Li Muxin would look at him with such eyes, so he deliberately did not explain and sat down opposite Li Muxin very elegantly.
"Honey, why have you been staring at my face just now? Am I too handsome?" There are almost no wrinkles on his perfect face, even when he smiles, and his noble and charming temperament is revealed inadvertently.
But...but he is forty years old!!
Li Muxin suddenly felt that he had been deceived. He originally thought that the age gap of seven years was not small, but he did not expect that they were seventeen years apart!!!
"Nothing, let's have dinner." Li Muxin turned pale, picked up the knife and fork, and prepared to cut the beef.
But... my eyes always move uncontrollably towards the densely packed candles on the cake, and I always feel a little weird in my heart. Do you mind that he is too old, or do you mind that he has been lying to himself all this time?
"Honey, why are you always staring at the candles on the cake?" Han Shilin raised his lips and smiled, narrowed his charming eyes, and stared at Li Muxin's unnatural expression with a faint light.
"No...it's nothing. I think the cake is very beautiful and I like it very much." Li Muxin raised her head and smiled awkwardly at Han Shilin.
"I made the cake myself. Today is a very meaningful day. I hope you can taste my cake and the babies can also taste my heart."
Li Muxin nodded, still staring at the cake.
Sighed.
Hey, it's not a big deal to be forty. What I love is not his age, but his person. What's more, he takes good care of himself. Some people believe that he is twenty-seven, so why bother about his age?
?
"Honey, actually..." Han Shilin's deep eyes were fixed on Li Muxin's complex and changeable expression, and the corner of his lips raised an evil smile, "Actually, this cake is not to celebrate my birthday, but..."
The mellow male voice, with its long and charming tail in the beautiful room, made Li Muxin's heart itch, eager to know what Han Shilin was going to say next.
Since it's not a celebration for him, it means... he's not the forty-year-old he thought he was, but if this cake isn't his, then whose is it?
"Yes... to celebrate the 20th week of our respective babies, but due to time constraints, we didn't have time to make two cakes, so I put 20 candles on the left and right."
Li Muxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and smoothed his chest.
"What? You think I'm forty years old?" Han Shilin laughed.
Li Muxin nodded.
"Do I really look like I'm forty?" Han Shilin touched his handsome face and frowned.
Li Muxin shook his head.
"Then why didn't you ask just now?"
Li Muxin did not respond.
Han Shilin left the chair, walked behind her, hugged her, and placed his lips slightly on the side of her neck, like a gentle kiss, but also like a whisper, "Stop guessing in the future, and ask questions directly, understand?"
Li Muxin pursed her smiling lips and nodded.
"There's one more thing. I'd better confess to you. I lied to you just now when I said today was my birthday." After saying that, Han Shilin's lips really kissed her cheek, with an expression of enjoyment, and he smiled all the way.
Kiss, "I'm not going to lie to you, how could you be so submissive today?"
Li Muxin wanted to get "angry" with him, but seeing that he had put a lot of thought into it today, he let him go for now.
"You can imagine that we have to celebrate the baby's 20th week. Then wouldn't we have to celebrate it every week from now on?"
Han Shilin's big hand moved to Li Muxin's bulging belly, his eyes were fixed, and he chuckled, "If you like, we will have a party every week to celebrate the babies' 21st, 22nd... until they are born at 40 weeks.
,OK?"
Li Muxin couldn't help but smile, her smile was as sweet and bright as a flower, her watery eyes turned to his handsome side face, "I wish I knew you had this intention, but I'm afraid you're too busy and won't always be able to spare time for me and my husband."
Babies."
"Don't believe it?" Han Shilin frowned, his eyes filled with earnestness and solemnity, "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. If I fail to keep my promise, I will punish you however you want."
"good."
Li Muxin stretched out his hand and raised his little finger. Han Shilin also raised his little finger, and Li Muxin's little finger trembled tightly together.
"It's a deal."
“It’s a deal!”
Their eyes met at this moment, reflecting each other's sincerity.
However……
Before the first promise was fulfilled, the damn cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
Han Shilin's eyes turned cold, and his sharp eyes were directed at the mobile phone on the table.
In the past, I just pressed the end button!
"Shi Lin..." Li Muxin looked up worriedly at his suddenly cold expression, "Why did you hang up the phone? Maybe there's something urgent, so you'd better call me back."
Han Shilin said coldly, "No need!"
As soon as the voice finished, the harsh ringtone of the mobile phone rang again...
For a long time...for a long time...
The air seemed to be condensed, and the two people looked at each other...
His long and strong fingers slightly curled and slowly moved towards the phone, and finally, he answered the call.
Turning his back, Han Shilin's face suddenly became solemn and solemn. He stopped staying in the living room and walked into the room alone.
Li Muxin was in the living room and could only vaguely hear Han Shilin's low and suppressed voice. After a few vague "ums", he heard Han Shilin's long sigh again after a long time.
"I understand, I will handle this matter."
Immediately after a series of men's low footsteps, Han Shilin appeared in front of Li Muxin again.
However, the scene and atmosphere at this time have already changed.
Li Muxin raised his head and looked into Han Shilin's deep eyes. Thousands of words were tangled into melancholy, hidden in his eyes, surging secretly... His Adam's apple moved slightly, as if he had something to say.
She understood what he was going to say.
"If something happens in the company, you can handle it. It doesn't matter." Li Muxin lowered her thick eyelashes, and dark shadows fell under her eyes, adding a touch of disappointment, "If I want to return to China, I will make preparations now and be with you.
go back."
"No, we are not going back." Han Shilin held her body down with his big hand and stared at her with deep affection, "Xin, something happened in the company and I need to deal with it, but there is no network and no information here, so I may have to
I will go to the center of Paris, where there is a branch that Wei Lin has just established. I will hold an urgent video conference there and be back soon. If I can make it in time, I can be back tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Really...?" This sentence seemed to blurt out, and Li Muxin himself didn't know why he doubted Han Shilin's words.
"Leave early and come back early. I'll wait for you." Li Muxin looked at him, slender and soft hands touching his handsome face. The clear edges and corners were as perfect as a work of art. She was a little dissatisfied with this man.
Abandon.
In my heart, a strong possessive desire suddenly arose, as if occupying him... not letting him go.
Because, once he left, he didn't know how long he would have to go, although he promised her that he would be back in time tomorrow morning at the latest.
Han Shilin looked at her affectionately, and Li Muxin took the initiative to close her eyes, letting his gentle kiss fall on her smooth forehead. However, the kiss was too short, and the warmth he left was not retained when she opened her eyes again.
