Let's Get Married novel Chapter 424

Rex takes the two to a restaurant at the foot of the mountain, it’s completely Chinese style. There’s a stone-built pool at the entrance, which has a spring jutting upwards in the middle. On both sides is man-made bamboo forest. The environment there feels elegant and sentimental.

But, Lily is surprised when she sees the menu. No wonder he calls it ‘Delicacy from Mountain’, most of the dishes are just standard Chinese dishes, which is a little more upscale than those in agritainment, but they don’t have the ingredients of a high-end restaurant.

Lily orders a stew made from a wild pheasant. She likes chicken soup and also poultry.

Rex still mainly orders vegetarian food. But this time, he orders two sweet and sour dishes for the child.

Five dishes and one soup. Outside the window of the private room on the second floor is the green scenery at the foot of the mountain. Lily sips the chicken soup in the bowl; a layer of oil floats on top, but it’s not just normal oil, it’s the unique oil of a wild pheasant. It doesn’t feel greasy but very mellow.

Eating in this kind of environment is extraordinarily enjoyable.

Adair is obviously hungry. He eats a whole small bowl of rice and drinks a bowl of soup. After eating, he first wanders around the room a few times. But after a while, he becomes tired and his eyelids are closing.

After such a long climb, he must be exhausted.

Lily is a slow eater but still speeds up to take care of the child. Rex looks at her, “Eat slowly, there’s no hurry.”

She doesn’t say anything, she picks up her bowl and finishes the soup, then uses some tissue papers to wipe her mouth. She gets up, wanting to hug the little one who is napping in the chair but Rex takes the initiative.

She looks up yet Rex has already picked up the child, “My wallet is on the table, I’ll take him back to the car and you’ll pay the bill.”

After saying that, he leaves the room without looking back.

Lily looks at his wallet on the table and sighs. She can only listen to him and go pay at the counter. The total is five hundred and seventy-eight. Lily opens the wallet, uses cash to pay, but her sight is attracted by a picture at the bottom left of the wallet.

It is a picture of her on her balcony five years ago, taken secretly by him.

She was lying in a rocking chair reading a book, perhaps slept, her head slightly tilted and her eyes closed, the light falling on her left a bright color.

There’s a saying, a man loves you or not depends on whether he has a picture of you in his wallet.

It was a popular saying before, but in recent years cell phones have grown so rapidly that many people won’t pay attention to this anymore. But at this moment she just remembers it.

Lily’s fingers are frozen and for a moment her nose is a bit runny.

“Here is your change.” The cashier's voice snaps her back to reality.

Lily sniffs and reaches for the money; her tone is shaky, “Thank you.”

…

Back in the car, Lily returns his wallet to him and informs him, “Total is five hundred and seventy-eight, and I paid in cash.”

“Okay.” Rex starts the car with his hands gripping the steering wheel, and turns with a nice looking arc.

Lily holds back and doesn’t ask about the picture, but instead, she asks about the child, “Is Adair sleeping?”

“Yes, I guess he’s exhausted.” Speaking of Adair, Rex’s expression turns very soft and tender.

In the past, he did not have this kind of patience with her. He always became anxious easily and forcefully made her accept something that is simply unacceptable.

Now, when he becomes a father, he has changed his temper, right?

Lily turns her head and looks out of the car window. The car drives in the direction of the Imperial Villa, away from the mountainous scenery. The greenery on the street becomes less and vendors become more, Lily is a bit depressed for no reason.

Suddenly, her hand on her knee is grasped by a large palm.

Lily is startled and subconsciously pulls back her hand, but what comes next is a man’s calm voice, “Don’t mess around, I am driving.”

“I’m not messing around.” Adair is still asleep, she retorts in a soft voice.
