Chapter 364
“I brought something else.”
Orion interrupted him.
“Something else? Like what?”
Please, not something like a lollipop. She wasn’t that easy to please!
Orion reached over to open the mini fridge in the car. Xanthea leaned in curiously and saw adorable animal–shaped cakes with a zodiac theme.
“Aw! They’re so cute!”
Her eyes sparkled with delight as she almost dove into the fridge, but the man lifted her out by the back of her neck.
“Do you like them?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Pick one.
“Til pick..”
That’s when Xanthea noticed there wasn’t a Scorpio among the cupcakes. He knew she was terrified of scorpions and had deliberately left it out. How thoughtful he was!
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the right cheek, with an enchanting smile, “Or, pick for me.”
The man’s gaze darkened slightly, then he tilted his left cheek toward her to hint, “This side too.”
Xanthea: “Mua!”
Orion picked one for her–a Gemini–themed cupcake with two adorable twin figures holding hands. Xanthea happily took it and, holding the fork, hesitated for a moment. It was just too cute to eat!
“Orion, you didn’t make these yourself, did you?”
“There are molds.”
“You’re amazing! How are you good at everything? What if I become totally useless being taken care of by you in the future?”
“Useless?” Orion’s eyes narrowed, as if he hadn’t considered such a delightful possibility. “Then I’ll just lock you up and make sure you’re only taken care of and played with by me every day.”
“Stop it, you’re such a weirdo!”
Xanthea threatened him with her fork, then gently landed it on one of the Gemini twins‘ heads. A mouthful of smooth, tangy yogurt exploded on her taste buds, so delicious that her eyes nearly closed in pleasure.
“Tasty, that’s tasty! Orion, you should try.”
Before she could finish, the man had already tasted it–right off her lips.
“What are you doing?”
Orion gently licked his lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “The cake on Xannie’s lips is sweeter.”
“Ew, gross!”
“Not gross.” Orion hugged her tightly, playfully wrapping around her, “Xannie eats the cupcake, and fil eat Xannie”
“Let go, ha–ha, it tickles.”
The two were affectionate all the way, teasing each other until about an hour later Xanthea suddenly realized something was off. With messy halt she looked at the man covered in cream and strawberry marks on his face and neck.
“Orion, where are you taking me?”
“I have a surprise for you”
“A surprise?” She glanced out the window, “What kind of surprise requires us to drive this far? We’re almost reaching the northern areas of Crestwood.”
Welt. A sudden realization hit her and she looked at him suspiciously “You’re not taking me to meet your family, are you?!”
“Do you want to meet them?”
“No, no!” She immediately shook her head, fearing he would misu stand, and explained, “It’s not that. Emm, I’m just not dressed for IL I’m in costume, no makeup, and there are bite marks on my neck from you. No, I can’t go like this, I need to prepare property before I can go meet them!”
“No need” Orion kissed her hair gently. “You look best no matter what”
“That’s just you are being in love it doesn’t mean others will think the same. No! We’re not going, stop the cart” Xanthea pretended to
threaten him by pinching his neck. Suddenly, Cedric’s voice c
