Chapter 1255 [Bonus chapter] Life Will Stop
"Now, you're my boyfriend. So, I don't mind being transparent. Saves me the trouble of explaining everything."
Xia Zhao laughed at her response and patted her back as he told her, "Since I'm lending you my shoulder, close your eyes for a moment to rest."
"What do you mean by lending me your shoulder? It's mine!" she retorted. She poked his forehead and said, "From here to the tip of your toes, everything is mine."
Xia Zhao nodded, "Yes. Everything is yours. I'm your yours. I am so glad you are willing to claim what is yours."
Mu Chenyan hmphed and leaned against his again as she closed her eyes this time. Xia Zhao slowly ran his fingers through her hair as he kissed the top of her head before resting his cheek against her head. They stayed like that for a while in a peaceful silence but the annoying ringtone broke this silence of Mu Chenyan's phone. She took the phone with her eyes closed, "What?" Something was said from the other side before she replied, "Since you have settled them at their accommodations. Just relax and let them rest for a day or two."
She hung up the call and yawned before stretching a little.
"I really fell asleep in this busy cafe?" she muttered in a small voice. Then her eyes settled on Xia Zhao and she put all the blame on his head without any guilt. Anyway, he won't mind the blame if it's coming from her.
He could practically read her mind and still didn't say anything. He fixed her hair as he asked, "Was it a peaceful nap?"
"It was good," she responded. "This call ruined it."
"What was it about?"
"The patissier that I invited is here," she told him. "They traveled from different countries so I just let them rest for a couple of days before getting them to work."
Xia Zhao nodded his head as he saw her rubbing her forehead. "Is something bothering you?"
"I haven't chosen a dress for the wedding," she told him. "Even Yue Yue prepared her dress but mine is still not selected." She narrowed her eyes at him, "How about you prepare it for me?"
"Me?"
"Yes, as my boyfriend you need to share some of my burdens. It's the least you can do, no?"
Xia Zhao looked at her unreasonable look and agreed, "Okay. I'll arrange it for you."
"It should be great," said Mu Chenyan. "But it can't outshine the bride either. Don't forget, I'm the maid of honor. The color for bridesmaid is peach."
"I remember that all," he told her. "You don't need to repeat it all to me."
"I'm just making sure you know so that later you won't have any excuse for making a mistake."
"Are you hoping that I make a mistake?"
"Maybe."
Xia Zhao got up and held out his hand to her, "Let's go now and get done with your shopping. Later, I'll take you to eat something good."
"What? What's good?"
"You'll know when we get there," he replied.
"Can't you just tell me? Why always say I'll find out? Of course, I'll find out eventually but would you lose a piece of meat if you told me yourself?" She suddenly stopped when she noticed someone staring at them and looked at a young couple and frowned, "What are you looking at? I am talking to my boyfriend."
The young couple ran away immediately.
"Don't scare people," said Xia Zhao, and almost biting his tongue instantly because he knew what was to come.
"Did you just say that I look scary?" asked Mu Chenyan. "How dare you? How am I scary? Is that something you should say to your girlfriend?"
Xia Zhao took a deep breath, "I said something wrong. I am sorry. I won't do it again."
Mu Chenyan hmphed at him and walked off while he followed her around, repeating his apology in 360 new ways. She was getting tired of listening but he wasn't tired of speaking at all. "Okay. Stop already. Everyone is looking at us," said Mu Chenyan.
"So, I'm forgiven?"
"It's not like you committed a crime or something," she said. "Don't exaggerate as if seeing me mad will stop your life."
"What if it did?" he asked.
"Silence! You're not allowed to speak until I tell you to, okay?"
"Okay."
And then he followed her to just give his opinion when she asked or hold the shopping bags like a good boyfriend. There was no impatience or annoyance on his face at all. If anything, he seemed to be really enjoying following her around like this. "Brother Zhao!"
Xia Zhao heard someone calling him but didn't pay attention at all. It was Mu Chenyan who stopped and looked at the person who called him. When she saw the woman in front of them, she frowned.
Seeing her frown, Xia Zhao finally looked at the person who made Mu Chenyan frown.
"It's really you. I thought I was mistaken," said the woman who was none other than, An Ran whom his mother had been trying to get him to date for a very long time now. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you come to the dinner the other night? Auntie was so upset that you didn't come." Xia Zhao didn't seem to be paying attention to her since all his attention was on Mu Chenyan as always. Seeing that sweet smile on her lips, he knew he was in trouble without even doing anything. And no, he did not think Mu Chenyan was being unreasonable right now. Seeing him not looking at her, An Ran finally paid attention to Mu Chenyan who was standing beside him, and pretended like she just saw her, "Oh, I didn't see you there. Are you brother Zhao's friend? Hello, I'm An Ran. I'm brother Zhao's fiancee!"
Mu Chenyan clenched her fist and then cursed under her breath before really raising her hand at her but before the slap could land on An Ran's face, Xia Zhao held her hand.
