Everyone’s conversation was interrupted when their orders arrived. The group started eating and spent some time enjoying the cityscape before they decided to go home and sleep as they needed to save their energy for their Disneyland trip the next day.
Just as planned, everyone started their day early. For them to enjoy the park, they started queuing before the park opens at ten in the morning.
“You know, we can always rent the whole place right?” Levi asked.
“Jingren bought a platinum magic access card,” Lily answered. “We won’t have problems lining up. That— and we also have parking access at the Disneyland Hotel.”
“Plus… renting the whole place to ourselves requires booking.” Eliza added. “And it’s boring.” She shrugged.
After a few minutes, the group was able to access the park ahead of time because of the magic access. They then started enjoying some rides and took a lot of photos. After spending a lot of time walking around, Lily and Zhou Jingren decided to eat and rest while Eliza, Qin Yuanfeng, and Levi decided to enjoy the place and do some of the more extreme rides.
“Would you like to join them?” Lily asked. Just like her, this was also Zhou Jingren’s first time visiting this place.
“No.” He smiled, licking the icecream in Lily’s hands.
“Don’t mind me. I can stay here and wait for everyone.” Lily smiled. “You can enjoy some extreme rides with them.”
“Thank you.” Zhou Jingren nodded. “However, I think it would be better to enjoy these rides with you and our children. We can always come back.”
“Hey!” Lily held the ice cream away from her husband. “It’s my ice cream. If you want one… then buy your own ice cream.”
“So greedy.”
Lily rolled her eyes before she started eating the vanilla ice cream that he bought for her. “This is my ice cream. It’s only fair that I eat it.” Her reaction only made Zhou Jingren chuckle. He helplessly shook his head as he leaned against the chair.
“Hey look!” Zhou Jingren pointed at the people wearing some pirate costumes walking and taking pictures with everyone. He beamed as he tried to get Lily’s attention away from the ice cream in her hand.
Too bad, Lily already knew what kind of man her husband was. Instead of looking at the pirates, Lily turned her head towards her husband instead. “Really?” She lifted an eyebrow before she grinned. “Pirates?”
“What? Everyone loves pirates! Are you going to ruin my childhood again?”
“You are weird,” Lily said as she started eating her ice cream while looking at the pirates, not giving her husband the chance to steal it away from her. She crossed her legs and smiled.
“It’s funny how the weirdest woman would have the audacity to call me weird.” Zhou Jingren responded before he rose from his seat.
“Where are you going?”
“Buying the biggest ice cream.” He walked towards the ice cream parlor without waiting for her to say something. Lily only responded with a small giggle. After a few minutes of waiting Zhou Jingren came back and just as he said, he bought the biggest ice cream available on the store.
“That’s too big for you.” She uttered. “You should share that with someone.”
“Nope. I am good.”
“But that’s a lot!”
“I can finish this in half an hour.”
“No, you can’t! You should totally share that instead of letting it melt.”
Zhou Jingren gave her a silly face before he started eating the ice cream in front of his wife.
“Mr. Zhou… you are letting it melt.” Lily noted, not giving up on her real goal. “Mr. Zhou is truly a very greedy man.”
Zhou Jingren responded with a chuckle. “If someone would ask me if I could give them some ice cream, I would totally give them some.” His face turned serious. “Sadly, no one is asking me anything. I can’t just offer strangers my ice cream, right? That would be too strange. People might even call me weird.”
Seeing Lily narrowing her eyes at him, Zhou Jingren leaned towards her. “And I can’t just offer anyone ice cream. I mean… I know not many people will refuse a good looking dude giving them ice cream. But what if… I attract too much attention from women who wanted to get a taste of my ice cream? Wouldn’t that make you feel so mad?” A smirked slithered on his face.
“What do you mean… your ice cream?” She furrowed her brows. “Who would want to taste your ice cream?” Irritation flashed in her eyes. This Zhou Jingren seemed to be getting better and better of rebutting her, ah.
She needed new strategies in dealing with this man. Lily thought inwardly.
“This… ” He pointed at the ice cream in his hand, confusion apparent in his eyes. “I thought you wanted me to share my ice cream?”
“Stop it!” She hissed as she tried to reach out. “I mean me not other women! You dummy! Share it with me!”
This immediately made her husband laughed out loud. He held his stomach as he gave the ice cream to his lovely wife. “Well… why didn’t you say so? Here I thought, you want me to share my ice cream with other women. Aiyo… Madam Zhou, ah, I am not a mind reader. You should be more direct.”
Lily made a face as she rolled her eyes and started imitating Zhou Jingren’s words. “Mind reader… Mind reader.” This made Zhou Jingren let out another boisterous laughter. Amusement apparent in his eyes.
“Madam Zhou… your company is more enjoyable than those rides.” He uttered in between his laughter. He would always prefer being with his Lily than enjoying a ride alone. Lily did not respond instead she chuckled and started eating Zhou Jingren’s ice cream. “And it seems that Madam Zhou is really enjoying my icecream.” He added.
“Of course I am.” She answered. Lily figured there is only one way to prevent Zhou Jingren from sharing his ice cream with other women.
And that is to eat everything— as fast as she could.
