Chapter 1511 - Candlelight Dinner (2/2)

That was because only with gratitude would we become more forgiving and magnanimous. Only with gratitude would life become more harmonious and wonderful.

Still holding onto her, Si Yiyan made her turn around, but his actions were not rough at all. He was gentle and did not hurt her. “Xinya, I have achieved the two things that men pursue all their lives—a successful career and marriage to the woman I love, spending a careful and blissful life with my beloved. Do you think I am blessed?”

After knowing Wen Xinya, his days passed as though he was in heaven. As a result, he had willingly set aside his ambitions to live quietly in Capital city, passing on all his estates and authority to Gu Yuexi and the rest to manage.

“Why don’t you tell me yourself, do you feel blessed?” Wen Xinya grinned. Her sweet smile was like a rainbow spanning the evening sky, bringing with it a dazzling radiance that moved the soul.

To have a man telling you that he was very blessed to be with you, was more touching than him saying he loved you.

Bliss was a feeling that was more rich and infinite than love. It was a feeling that came from the cultivation of love over a long time, eventually emitting a fragrance that was extremely stirring and poignant. It was like fine wine—the longer it was aged, the more potent and rousing it was.

“My dear, the only good thing that came out of my life was to meet you.” His voice was hoarse with emotions, with a depth that stirred her heart.

Alone in desolation, fated to a lonely life.

This was his fate. But because of Xinya’s existence, he could finally change his destiny!

He remembered Xinya had told him before: If Buddha doesn’t let you cross to Nirvana, I will help you achieve enlightenment.

She was the one who would help him achieve enlightenment.

“Sizzle…” Sputtering noises could be clearly heard and sounded very near, yet at the same time, the noises felt faraway and distant. Wen Xinya continued gazing at him, her heart brimming with an equal amount of bliss.

All until a stinging smell wafted into their noses.

“Ah! My steak!” Wen Xinya finally snapped out of her trance and hurriedly turned to look at the thick smoke billowing out of the oven. A charred smell permeated the kitchen.

Si Yiyan sighed!

The atmosphere had been just right and thick with romance—but was now ruined by a pot of burnt steak!

Wen Xinya pinched her nose as she hastily turned off the fire. Looking at the blackened steak, she couldn’t help grumbling. “It’s all your fault that my steaks are ruined.”

She had wanted to give Si Yiyan an unforgettable and perfect birthday. But it was now all spoiled by those burnt steaks. She could imagine that Si Yiyan would always remember this pot of charred steaks whenever he thought back to this day.

Si Yiyan rolled up his sleeves and walked over. “Since I caused you to ruin the steaks, I will compensate you with another steak!”

With that, Si Yiyan pulled her to the side.

Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up. Her mind involuntarily drifted back to the time when she and Si Yiyan had gone to the auction on the Nantong cruise. At that time, Si Yiyan had made steak for her. To this day, the delicious steaks and unique sauce remained fresh in her memory.

Si Yiyan kissed her gently on the lips. “Weren’t you complaining that you reek of smoke and oil? Quickly go take a shower and change your clothes. The steaks will be ready in a while.”

Wen Xinya took off her apron and put it over Si Yiyan. The beige, flowered apron was way too small and looked like a baby’s belly-band on him.

Wen Xinya was tickled and left the kitchen guffawing loudly.
