Chapter 367 - Only princess?

When she heard those words coming out from Han Ye's mouth, Xiao Lei could not help but tear up a little. 

"You mushy guy..." she mumbled as she hugged him tightly. "I'm glad I met you again..." 

Han Ye smiled. After a while, when he could no longer hear the fireworks, he looked down at her and asked, "We should go to the table now. Everyone is waiting for us..." 

Xiao Lei nodded as she gently tapped near the bottom of her eyes. "How's my makeup?"

"As beautiful as ever, but I still prefer your makeup-free face."

She looked at him with a blank expression, and after a while, she asked with a fake pout, "So you don't like this?" 

Han Ye was stunned. He had walked into a trap. "Erm..." He then cleared his throat and said, "Let's go... I'm starving!" 

He then took her hand and led her to her seat. 

The moment she sat down, she was wished "Happy Birthday" by everyone at the table.

"Tiara!" Little Monkey gasped as she stared at the tiara on Xiao Lei's head. She immediately tried to climb onto the table to cross and get the tiara. 

"No, Little Monkey. That's Aunt Xiao Lei's tiara. She's the birthday girl," Kai Xin said to her daughter gently. When she saw her daughter's lips quivering, she then added, "No, that's not gonna work for me." 

"I know..." Little Monkey mumbled. She then turned to her dad and pouted. "Daddy..." 

DX was helpless whenever his baby daughter looked at him with those eyes and that pout. Unfortunately for him, his wife was here, so he could not do anything extreme. "Princess, Daddy will buy one for you tomorrow, alright? But that's Aunt Xiao Lei's one..."

Xiao Lei smiled as she said, "I can't give it to you, Little Monkey, but you can play with it later, alright? It's just that your Uncle Han Ye wants me to wear it and take a photo with him first." 

Little Monkey blinked and looked at her. "Photo now?" 

"Photo later," Kai Xin said with a stern expression. She then looked at her husband and said, "Look at how she is now... I told you not to spoil her senseless." 

"Well, she's my daughter too, so I can spoil her however I want... I didn't say anything when you spoil the boys," DX retorted with a smile. 

While those two were discussing each other's habits of spoiling their kids, Han Ye and Xiao Lei merely glanced at each other. 

Xiao Lei then whispered, "Look what you've done... And why tiara? I'm already an a.d.u.l.t, you know..." 

She was shocked when she saw the tiara among the jewelry in the box. At first, she was going to ignore it, but then she saw the note that Han Ye left behind. On the note, the words "I would be extremely happy if you wore this to the party tonight" were written on it, and at the bottom a "<3 Han Ye". 

How was she supposed to reject his request when he was acting like a cute teenage boy? And given how he had been treating her lately, as well as his patience with her son, in the end, even though she felt extremely embarrassed, she still put on the small diamond tiara.

Surprisingly, the diamond tiara matched the rest of her attire, and it made her wonder if Han Ye matched everything himself.   

Han Ye looked at her tiara, which was slightly tilted to the right. He reached over to help her adjust it, taking care not to displace her hair as he was doing so. Once he was done, he smiled and said, "Because you're my princess for tonight. I want you to stand out."

Given that the features of the women who attended the party tonight were all above average for their age groups, Han Ye did not want Xiao Lei to lose out. It wasn't that he did not think that she was beautiful. To him, she was the brightest gem in every room that she was in.

But for some reason, he wanted everyone to notice her as well. Also, he wanted to rub it in his boss' face, as if to tell him, "I no longer need your dog food." 

He knew it was stupid, but after having dog food thrown at him by his boss for years, he kind of wanted a little payback. But looking at DX and Kai Xin bickering playfully, he doubted that he even came close to succeeding. 

"Only princess?" Xiao Lei said with a brow raised. 

Han Ye nodded seriously. "For now. Once we are married, you can be my forever queen."

"Forever..." Xiao Lei blushed slightly and turned away from him. "Who's going to marry you?" 

Instead of teasing her, Han Ye merely chuckled. He then said to everyone, "Ok, guys, let's eat now. I'm sure the kids are already hungry... and the birthday girl is probably starving as well. She needs to eat a lot, you know... Ouch!" 

He rubbed his thigh where Xiao Lei had pinched him under the table. Even so, there was a smirk on his face. There were so many things that he wanted to say to her now, like where he would like to be pinched, but he felt that those things were a little inappropriate to be said in front of so many people... especially Xiao Zhihao. So, he swallowed them and said, "And of course, I'm also extremely hungry. Let's dig in, everyone!" 

Everyone cheered as they picked up their chopsticks. A small band started to walk out of the mansion. The members of the band went onto the small stage near the tables. And before long, soft, soothing music could be heard by everyone at the party, further elevating everyone's mood.  

While they were eating, Xiao Lei noticed the huge "tree" of presents and asked, "That's a pretty cute decoration."

"Decor?" Han Ye picked some fish meat and placed it in her plate before saying, "That's all your presents... From everyone of course."

Xiao Lei dropped the piece of chicken she was holding with her chopsticks onto the table. "Sorry!" she immediately apologized for the bad manner. After that, she looked at Han Ye and whispered, "They are all mine?"

"Yup," Han Ye said as he nodded. "Do you like the soup? I made it just for it. It's supposed to be good for pregnancy as well. Drink more of it." 

Xiao Lei nodded, but she could not take her eyes off the presents. Ever since she became Xiao Xiao Lei, she had never received that many presents. "It's a little too much..." she mumbled as she looked at the bowl of soup that Han Ye gave her. 

"Don't think too much about it. It's not just for you. Some of the presents are for the babies..." Han Ye said. "Of course, most of them are yours. This is nothing, actually. I've got another present for you." 

Hearing that, Xiao Lei's ears immediately perked up and she looked at him. Placing a hand on his thigh, she then asked excitedly, "What is it? What is it?" 

Click!

A sudden clicking sound caught her attention, and she turned her head slightly, only to see Kai Xin with her phone pointing at her. 

"Oh, this would be a good addition to Han Ye's album," Kai Xin said as she showed the photo to Han Ye. In the photo, Xiao Lei and Han Ye's faces were extremely close to each other, and to people who didn't know, it looked like Xiao Lei was trying to seduce Han Ye. 

To Xiao Lei's further embarrassment, Han Ye gave Kai Xin a thumbs up.
