Chapter 1395: Of Course I’m Proud
For some reason, this way of doing it makes the steak seem a lot more delicious.
"Are you joking with me? My dear Xiao Xi, do you think Little Zhi Liao would perform piano in a place like this? Unless that restaurant belongs to her, or it’s owned by Third Brother. Otherwise, do you really think they could afford her? This isn’t even about money anymore."
Gu Jin Yan brushed it off, thinking she was just talking nonsense.
"So what if I said it? What, are you insulting my intelligence now?" Helian Xi felt she had been slighted. "What if I owned this restaurant? Little Zhi Liao might just be willing to play the piano for me."
"Alright, alright, with your great relationship, I’m sure she would. Let’s not talk about Little Zhi Liao right now, can we focus on our meal first?" Gu Jin Yan knew he had misspoken and quickly tried to calm her down.
"No, I want to talk about Little Zhi Liao right now." Helian Xi took a bite of her steak, chewing forcefully as if it was Gu Jin Yan.
"What’s the problem with me talking about it? Do you have to look at me like I’m an idiot? Of course I know Little Zhi Liao wouldn’t play the piano at a place like this. She’s not out there playing gigs for money. I know, she’s an artist. So what? I’m in the arts too, you know!!"
Helian Xi wasn’t really jealous of Lu Xingzhi; she was just expressing her dissatisfaction with Gu Jin Yan.
Purely expressing her discontent with her husband.
"How could I? I wouldn’t dare. This isn’t an idiot’s look; it’s the look of a husband at his beloved wife, a look full of affection. Didn’t you notice it, Xiao Xi? If that’s so, maybe there’s something wrong with your perception."
Gu Jin Yan smoothly changed the subject, and it worked pretty well.
After all, arguing about whether Lu Xingzhi would play piano in a place like this wasn’t as pleasant.
"Gu Jin Yan, I feel like you’re not inviting me to dinner but trying to rob me of my appetite! I’m already full from frustration; how could I have any appetite left?" Helian Xi gritted her teeth. "Are you feeling proud of yourself now?"
"What have I done now? But since you mention pride, of course, I’m proud. The thing I’m most proud of in this life is marrying you. Turning you from a girl into my woman, my girlfriend, my wife, and now the mother of my son. Oh, and by the way, there’s one in your belly now, possibly a daughter, meaning I’d have both a son and a daughter. Plus, with a beloved wife, I’d have a complete and happy family. Naturally, I’d be proud! Xiao Xi, are you saying I can’t even have this little bit of pride?"
Gu Jin Yan said this with a slight grievance, looking at Helian Xi with a pitiful gaze.
He was very handsome, with a star-level attractiveness.
Of course, making such an expression would undeniably stir a sense of guilt in Helian Xi.
It made her wonder if she was indeed being a bit too much.
If she was being too harsh on Gu Jin Yan.
If her attitude was actually problematic.
Was she...
But, when she thought deeper.
No, she didn’t really think deeply.
She just impatiently said, "Let’s just eat in silence; what’s with all this talking? Do I need to teach you table manners like keeping silent during meals? Stop talking already, honestly, such a..."
