"I'll cut the steak for you."
Nan Mufeng picked up the knife and fork and cut Jian Xi's steak into small pieces. His movements were very graceful, and Jian Xi propped her chin with her hand, watching him cut the steak — she actually found it mesmerizing.
Nan Mufeng lifted his brows with pride, "Wife, you can look at me with those eyes more often."
"Why?"
Nan Mufeng pushed the cut steak toward Jian Xi, "Any man would like to charm his own wife to distraction."
"Really." Jian Xi glared at him with feigned annoyance and began to enjoy her steak.
The two slowly savored their candlelit dinner, clinking glasses and sipping red wine from time to time.
Wine... Jian Xi truly loved it! However, love didn't equal tolerance! Nan Mufeng knew her limits well, so after finishing one bottle, he firmly refused to open a second one.
"Husband, let's open another bottle, please. The steak's so good, it'd be a waste not to drink more," Jian Xi pleaded with a shy face.
