104 Chapter 104 : I’ve never been interested in love songs (2/2)

Xiulan immediately blocked his request. ”I'm still busy. Let's do it once I have some free time.”

”You haven't eaten anything, right? That's not good. Come on, just a quick early dinner date.” Hongqi tightens his embrace and sweetly pecks on her temples.

Hearing the word dinner made Xiulan's hungry stomach grumble loudly like a monster. He's right, she must eat and an hour or two of slacking off won't delay her anyway.

She agreed to have an early dinner date. They went to the nearest mall that Hongqi co-owns with Pierre. They went to the fifth floor where the luxurious and top-rated restaurants reside.

Once they ate their dinner, Hongqi still insisted to have more time with her by slowly walking at the man-made garden inside the mall.

There aren't many people here right now since he asked the mall personnel to prevent people from coming to this side.

Xiulan felt that something is wrong with Hongqi so she agreed to stay with him for a little longer. Her work can continue early tomorrow anyway.

She started to open a topic about animals and movies since Hongqi was really quiet and only held her smalls so tightly.

Their evening stroll composed of her talking a lot and babbled a lot of useless information that Hongqi seems to know already. It was weird that she talked more than Hongqi and he was unbelievably quiet.

She somewhat guessed that Hongqi might be stressed or something that's why he needed some company tonight. He's always clingy but today's clinginess was very different. So Xiulan speculated that Hongqi might be really feeling blue today.

”Do you have any love songs that you like?” Hongqi suddenly asked out of the blue. They were talking about a baboon's red butt and it's nasty nature of eating other monkeys but this husband suddenly asked something so random. Xiulan can't help but frown a little bit from his sudden question.

”Uhh… yeah. Of course.” Xiulan answered and pierced him with a concerned look.

”What is it? Tell me.” his tone suddenly rose a few octaves and his eyes glimmered.

Xiulan doesn't get why he suddenly got so excited. ”Most of the love songs that I like are from the 80s to the early 2000s. I'm not sure if you know any of it,” she answered honestly. She quickly tried to think of the titles of those songs.

”Maybe… but I'll try to know them for you.” Honqgi charmed and pulled her closer to him. ”Come on, tell me.”

Xiulan really doesn't get why he suddenly asked but it caused her back to have goosebumps.

”So Into You by Tamia. I really liked that song for some reason. I kept hearing that song from my older sisters until I liked it myself. I prefer alternative and rock songs but scratch that, I like all genres.” Xiulan shared too much information again.

”Okay, I'll mentally note that. I think I somewhat know the song.” Hongqi muttered. He looked at her and asked like a little kid again. ”What else, love? Hmmm?”

Xiulan scratched her head and for some reason, her head can't think of any love songs.

”Er… I really can't think of any of it right now. But this one is my long-time favorite, Madonna's Crazy For You. Do you know that? Whenever I hear that song, I feel like falling in love.” Xiulan happily said and her smile was really sweet when she shared that information.

Hongqi can't take his eyes off from her. Shit, he doesn't know that song. He was never interested in love songs. ”To be honest, I've never been interested in love songs.” he suddenly blurted and gave a shy, awkward smile at Xiulan.

Xiulan chuckled from his honesty. ”Idiot, then why are you asking? You even made me think of thousands of songs in my head.”

”Sorry… I just want to know you better and know the things you like. Of course, it'll be embarrassing that I don't even know your favorite love song.” Hongqi confessed. He said it with a straight face and Xiulan can't help but blush a little from his sweet-talking.

”I see...” Xiulan was a little bit speechless. She, herself, doesn't know Hongqi's favorite love song as well. Actually, she only knows his favorite food, favorite color, favorite country and the type of woman he likes.

”I don't know your favorite love song too. That's even for both of us.” Xiulan muttered just to get rid of this awkwardness.

Hongqi stared at her and was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, his pale handsome face brightened and he happily asked her.

”Then… do you want to pick a long song for us?”
