I Hate You, Devil! Chapter 66 Bonfire

Chapter 66 Bonfire

Yu Chen shook his head and then he finally opened his eyes. He was utterly thrown off by that single piece of clothing - the night gown - and he himself was surprised by the gravity of his own reaction.

He wasn't actually angry because of what Gu Wei showed him. In fact, deep within him, he couldn't deny his desire; that he wanted her to wear that outfit for him. What angered him was actually the fact that everyone, including his men, saw it. He thought that they too, might have imagined his fiancée wearing that gown upon seeing it, like he did, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He found it unacceptable but he realized that what happened was inevitable, so after throwing his men some meaningful deadly glares, he could only breathe deeply and calm himself down. Gladly, he managed to.

At that moment, Gu Wei came back in a flash. His expression was filled with panic, as if he was a maid who just overslept and was now running towards his master expecting some sort of heavy punishment. He brought with him a set of family s.h.i.+rts, printed with cute pandas, and showed them to Yu Chen. "Boss, look at these cuties. I'm sure this will definitely please Miss Luo. They're panda s.h.i.+rts! These are so cute, right? These two will be for the twins, this one is for your fiancée and this one is for you! I'm sure if she sees this, she will absolutely feel happy to receive such a gift! I'd even bet that she'll be happier to receive these cute little things than those luxurious dresses. I'm sure you know that, right? That Miss Luo really, reallyyy loves pandas and that she's fond of them!"

Gu Wei's statement was obviously and desperately fast that he almost didn't breathe as he spoke. He was trying his very best to coax the boss he just angered and dig himself out from his upcoming destruction.

Luckily, to his surprise, the boss, whom he thought was now on the process of transforming into his raging self, suddenly raised his hand and casually stood up like nothing had just happened. "Where did you get those s.h.i.+rts?" he asked. The threat in his voice was nowhere to be heard and Gu Wei blinked in surprise. Ehh? What? He's not angry? He looked d.a.m.n angry just a minute ago! What happened? Did my guardian angel appear and soothe his anger to save me?

"O-over here, boss." Gu Wei quickly led Yu Chen to a certain corner of the store. When they stopped, Yu Chen glanced at the s.h.i.+rts in Gu Wei's hands and then he suddenly asked him to return them. Gu Wei innocently put them back but the next thing Yu Chen did caused his mouth to hang open. B-boss, did you just make me put the clothes down just so you would be the one to pick them yourself?!! Are you serious?!

"This effort should be enough now, right?" Yu Chen uttered and Gu Wei was so stunned that he could only nod silently. He was at a loss for words as he watched his boss signal the staff to wrap up everything so they could finally leave.

Boss, have you got a period right now or something? I don't understand your moods and actions anymore!!

…

Scarlet Hill…

It was already dusk when Yu Chen arrived. Gu Wei, Jiang Min and Zhou Yuan followed him inside the house, holding the many bags of clothes he bought.

He was expecting Luo Xiaolei to welcome him but his brows knotted when the one waiting for him inside was Guan Ye.

"Welcome back, boss," he said with a smile but as soon as he felt the immense displeasure in Yu Chen's aura, he could only gulp and he immediately started explaining.

"Uhm boss, Miss Luo and the kids are camping in the woods. It looked like the twins wanted to play out there. Of course, they're just nearby in the safe zone. Old man Meng is with them. I actually came back to get these and also to inform you of their whereabouts." After Guan Ye's explanation, the heavy air immediately lightened up.

Yu Chen's gaze fell on the kitchen utensils in Guan Ye's hands while Guan Ye's gaze was curiously drawn to the number of shopping bags the three men behind him were holding. Er… why did this feel like those three at the back had just transformed into nannies?

"I see. Give those to me. I'll bring them over myself." Yu Chen said and as soon as he took them, he left and walked towards the back door.

When his feet landed on the cool, green gra.s.s that was spread throughout the backyard, Yu Chen halted and his sharp gaze scanned through the woods. He spotted a light that seemed to come from a bonfire in a split second and then he walked towards it.

His steps were quiet as he approached the source of the fire. He could hear Little Rui's energetic laughter and then he smelled a delicious aroma dancing with the wind, almost like a potion, inviting him in. He was like Hansel walking into the woods, enticed by a witch, although in Yu Chen's case, he probably would still continue walking forward even without the enticing aromatic invitation.

The moment he finally reached the camp site, Yu Chen quietly stood by a tree. His gaze surveyed the place, immediately looking for a certain someone first. When he spotted Luo Xiaolei grilling, Yu Chen's eyes lit up, as if his low battery suddenly became fully charged again, causing the lights in his eyes now s.h.i.+ning brightly.

His eyes then fell towards Little Rui helping her like the good, helpful boy that he was, while the quiet one, Little Ran sat by the bonfire like a little statue, looking like he was trying to solve some quantum physics question, as his gaze was focused on the fire.

Looking at them enjoying themselves like this, the corner of Yu Chen's lips lifted. As he was about to finally walk towards them, someone disrupted his dramatic entrance.

"Ahh!! Mommy! Daddy's finally here!"
