CHAPTER 40: 40. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

Shi Nian took a deep breath, and had no choice but to softly plead, "A Yuan... please don’t do this, okay?"

Xiang Yuan squinted, scrutinizing Shi Nian, until finally satisfied, he smiled. Reaching over the table, he grasped Shi Nian’s hand.

"Alright, I’ll listen to my dear wife. You say don’t do this, then I won’t. Let’s enjoy our meal and not talk about those unpleasant things."

"But A Yuan..." Xiang Yuan’s way of reframing the situation made Shi Nian uncomfortable.

However, Xiang Yuan didn’t give her a chance to speak, standing up with a smile and clasping his hands towards the waiter, "Sorry, it was my fault just now." Then, he addressed all the diners in the restaurant, "I’ve also disturbed everyone, I’m very sorry."

He walked behind Shi Nian, gently pressing her shoulders with both hands, "This is my wife. It’s all my fault for making her angry. She just said she wants to separate from me... Oh my gosh, how can I accept that? Because I really, truly love her, I can’t imagine life without her."

These words took Shi Nian by complete surprise. She turned her head to look at him, wanting to stop him.

But Xiang Yuan looked at the crowd with a smile, "So, could everyone help me appease my wife? I can’t be without her, thank you all."

Saying this, he picked a rose from the vase on the table, knelt on one knee in front of Shi Nian, "Darling, forgive me."

The guests, being kind-hearted, loved to witness such a romantic scene, and immediately applauded, accompanied by playful whistles.

The relieved waiter took the lead, looking at the silver tray in his hands, shouting, "Forgive him, forgive him, forgive him..."

The whole restaurant joined in, chanting in unison, "Forgive him, forgive him."

Amidst this lively atmosphere, Xiang Yuan’s eyes were full of deep affection, intensely gazing at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian clenched her fingers, biting her lips. Her complexion turned a shade paler. She desperately held back tears, her tiny red lips trembling slightly.

Xiang Yuan’s gaze became more intense, hungrily watching Shi Nian in this state.

.

The torturous lunch finally ended, and Xiang Yuan ate with joy, while Shi Nian didn’t touch her steak at all.

Returning to the car, Xiang Yuan slid over, directly getting into the car, reaching over to pull Shi Nian’s head for a kiss.

Shi Nian forcefully pushed him away, "A Yuan! Stop it, it’s time to go to work. You can drive yourself."

Xiang Yuan wouldn’t relent, "I drank and can’t drive. Darling, you take me." With that, he tried to kiss her again.

Shi Nian struggled to dodge, "A Yuan, please stop fooling around, I have work this afternoon!"

She couldn’t understand why Xiang Yuan’s usually calm eyes seemed to flare up with a spark of madness. That flame was scorching, and it frightened her.

Xiang Yuan, with those fiery eyes, was surprisingly strong, and she couldn’t push him away. His entire body stretched over from the passenger seat, pressing over the handbrake, almost completely covering Shi Nian.

Shi Nian had no room to retreat, desperately avoiding his lips. Xiang Yuan then kissed her neck, "Darling, don’t be afraid. I love you; you don’t know how much I love you."

Completely ignoring the possibility of pedestrians outside seeing them, he almost forcefully kissed her, covering her neck with kisses, then firmly grabbing her hair to press her lips harshly against his.
