“sister-in-law, have you thought of something delicious?”
“Are you treating?” Rosiley replied with a question instead.
Morphy paused for a while before saying, “Yes, of course.”
Rosiley turned and smiled at Sachin. “I want to eat a private home cuisine.”
…
At Bamboo Garden…
It was an ancient-style restaurant full of antique vibes. It was vastly different from the crowded streets in the surrounding area. The inside of the restaurant was especially quiet and peaceful.
“Why didn’t I know that this place existed in Benin City?”
It was like a whole new experience for Rosiley as she observed this vastly different restaurant in amazement.
“sister-in-law, of course you don’t know about this place. Only those in the Four Major Families can come here.”
“Only those in the Four Major Families can come here?” Rosiley raised her brows in surprise and turned to look at Sachin with a confused gaze.
The latter nodded slightly. “This restaurant was opened by Chu Yuan’s eldest sister. It only serves the Four Major Families.”
Rosiley nodded in realization. “So that’s why… Then, why is Morphy able to come in too?”
“Because I’m handsome!”
Morphy gave a very narcissistic answer.
Rosiley gave him a “haha” and then said, “No matter how handsome you are, you can’t compare to Sachin.”
“…” Morphy was left speechless because he really could not beat his cousin.
When the manager saw Sachin, he bowed respectfully and greeted him. “Young Master Sachin.”
“Hmm. Where’s sister Snowy?” Sachin asked lightly.
“She has returned to Fairview Garden.”
Sachin’s gaze flickered slightly. Then, he led Rosiley up the stairs directly.
The manager glanced at Rosiley casually and his brows furrowed slightly. “Who is this woman beside Young Master Sachin?”
“She’s my brother’s wife.”
When Morphy walked past the manager, he paused in his tracks and patted his shoulder before kindly answering the doubt in his mind.
“Wife?!” The manager’s eyes widened in shock. “When did Young Master Sachin get married? Why was there no news at all?”
“This is my private room.”
This was what she heard Sachin say when she stepped into the private room. She turned and looked at him. Her lips curled and a sinister glow sparkled in her shiny eyes. “So is this place called ‘Warm Pavilion’ because your attitude is too cold?”
A trace of awkwardness flashed across his clear face. She was really smart and immediately managed to guess correctly sister Snowy’s intention for coming up with this name back then.
Rosiley captured that moment when a touch of awkwardness flashed across his face. She pursed her lips and smiled to herself. “That’s really the reason!”
After saying that, she lifted her leg, wanting to walk over to the table and sit down. Suddenly, a hand stretched over and grabbed her by her waist. She looked up in shock, and before she could see who it was, her vision darkened and she felt a warm sensation on her lips.
It was just a light peck, yet it was filled with infinite affection.
He gently pressed his forehead against hers and a faint stream of light escaped from his dark gaze. His thin lips moved gently. “Were you mocking me just now?”
She was exposed!
Rosiley’s gaze wandered off. She denied it. “I didn’t. How could I dare to mock you?”
As he heard this, a low chuckle escaped from his thin lips. He pinched her nose extremely dotingly.
“My gosh, I’ve come in at the wrong time.”
Suddenly, an atmosphere-ruining voice was heard. Morphy was standing at the door, looking at the two of them hugging each other. Although he claimed to have come in at the wrong time, his eyes kept on staring at them as if he did not know how to look away.
Rosiley felt extremely embarrassed. “This dude is way more thick-skinned than Corey!”
