Chapter 232: Go on one knee
"Why does it sound like you’re scheming something?" Lanni laughed. "We are already together. Do you still need to scheme to get what you want? You can just ask, you know."
Xiehan chuckled. "Who said I couldn’t scheme just because I have already made you mine? I can still play tricks, alright?"
"Hold on. Give me an hour." He added.
"Okay." Lanni hung up and waited. Something must have come up, requiring him to go back to work.
One hour later, he called again.
"Not a second late." She smiled, pleased with her man’s punctuality. He said one hour when he meant it and would be right in time—neither too early not too late. Realizing that she had been doing nothing but staring at her phone and waiting for his call, she took the phone and answered the call.
"Come down." Xiehan said monotonously as soon as the call was connected.
"What? Down, where?" She was taken aback. Realizing what he meant a moment later, she rushed to the window and pulled the curtain apart then looked down. When she saw his silver sports car, she was baffled. "What are you doing here?" She asked into the phone, looking down at his car with a puzzled expression.
The car door opened, and Xiehan stepped out with the phone still held to his ear. He looked up and waved at her then continued speaking into the phone, "I came to pick you up."
Lanni looked down at her baggy t-shirt and shorts. For the sake of having a nice rest, she had changed into comfortable clothes before having a nap. She didn’t look like she was dressed up to go anywhere. "Pick me up to go where?" She asked into the phone.
"You forgot about our date so we are going to have dinner at my place. Isn’t that just fair?" He grinned, looking up at her. Even though he knew she wouldn’t say no, he added, "You promised to make it up to me. Are you going to take back your words, my love?"
