Liu Longwei was speechless at her actions. 'Did his words provoke her?' he thought.
He tried to please her by calling her sweet names, but nothing he said made her turn her face towards him.
"Okay, Baby, what do you want me to do so you can eat the food?" Liu Longwei tried negotiating with her.
With her face still turned away from him, and a smile on her face, Chen Lihua asked, "Will you do anything I ask you to do?"
"Yes," hearing her voice, Liu Longwei said in agreement.
"Anything?!" Chen Lihua asked, trying to confirm that he wouldn't go back on his words.
"Anything!" Liu Longwei confirmed as he raised the spoon once again.
"Okay, I want you to beg me to eat with that playful look on your face just like earlier," Chen Lihua said.
"That's all?" Liu Longwei asked in surprise. He thought that she would have asked him to do something difficult, but she only asked for that? Well, that is very simple.
"Yes, that's all." Chen Lihua said.
"Okay," Liu Longwei agreed.
"I'm going to turn around now, so do not try to play any tricks on me. Otherwise, I will be angry, understood!" Chen Lihua said. She was scared that Liu Longwei would trick her, thereby messing up her plans.
"Understood!" Liu Longwei replied, not having any trick up his sleeves.
When Chen Lihua turned around, she saw him holding up the spoon, but she said, "Hold on" and stretched her hand to take his phone that was on the table.
"Unlock!" She commanded.
Liu Longwei put the spoon down and used his finger to unlock the phone because the phone required his fingerprint to open.
"What are you up to?" he asked, not understanding her motives.
"You will see in a bit," Chen Lihua replied with a devilish look on her face as she turned on the camera in his phone.
"Alright, you can start now," she said.
Seeing her raise the phone with its flashlight on, Liu Longwei knew what she was up to.
"Are you serious right now?" he asked with a frown.
"Of course, and I've always been serious," Chen Lihua retorted as she motioned for him to start.
Liu Longwei gave her a hard stare before proceeding with the task given to him.
Chen Lihua saw the butler passing by, so she called him and passed the phone to him, asking him to record them, which he did obediently.
The old butler tried as much as possible not to laugh as he watched his Master act cute while trying to get his wife to eat.
Chen Lihua opened her mouth to eat the food happily. She even made sounds as she ate with her eyes closed, showing that this particular one she ate was tastier than the others Liu Longwei fed her.
"You look so happy, you must be having a lot of fun," Liu Longwei commented with a little annoyance in his voice as Chen Lihua laughed hard at him.
"Yes, I'm having a lot of fun, go ahead," Chen Lihua retorted.
The old butler tried to hold his laugh inside as he watched his Master having a hard time.
"Are you laughing at me?" Liu Longwei turned to the butler and asked sharply.
The butler lowered his head in fright.
Chen Lihua smiled and asked the butler for the phone before asking him to leave.
She saved the video and continued holding onto the phone.
"Can I have my phone now?" Liu Longwei requested, but Chen Lihua waved her finger at him in denial.
She stood up from her seat, pecked his cheek. Then she walked away, leaving these words behind.
"Goodnight, husband~ and thanks for the wonderful moment at the dinner table."
Liu Longwei was left speechless as he watched her leave.
He couldn't believe he was tricked by her.
He got up immediately to follow her, but it was too late. He couldn't take the elevator because it was in use, so he took the stairs because he was impatient.
Chen Lihua had that embarrassing video of him, and he didn't know what she would do with it. So, he had to chase after her before she does something disastrous to his golden image.
When Liu Longwei got to his bedroom, he didn't see anyone in sight. He looked around the room for his phone and saw it on the table that was in the middle of the room, so he walked to it and picked up the phone.
He opened his phone and searched for the video, and when he found it, he deleted it immediately.
Chen Lihua, who had finished brushing her teeth, came out from the washroom to see Liu Longwei with his phone, so she immediately rushed to him at lightning speed.
She snatched the phone from him and checked from the video, but she couldn't find it.
"What have you done?!" she asked as she continued searching from the video.
Liu Longwei stood by the side with folded arms and watched her stare at his phone with a frantic look on her face.
"I did the right thing?"
"By getting rid of the video?" Chen Lihua inquired in anger.
"Mmmmh!" Liu Longwei hummed in response.
Chen Lihua's countenance changed from a look of anger to a sad one. And before you know it, tears started to drop from her eyes.
"Heh! Sweetheart, why are you crying again?" Liu Longwei asked in shock as he cupped her cheeks.
Did he get himself a cry baby for a wife?
"You just got rid of something that managed to make me happy," Chen Lihua replied in a muffled voice.
"Sweetheart, I couldn't risk my image," Liu Longwei explained.
"You couldn't risk your image over my happiness?" Chen Lihua retorted as she stared into his eyes.
Liu Longwei was speechless. When did he say something like that? How come he didn't know about it?
"Sweetheart, I didn't mean that. I will not jeopardize your happiness," Liu Longwei clarified.
"But you just did," Chen Lihua said with a teary face.
"Alright, I'm sorry, okay? I will take you shopping tomorrow," Liu Longwei said to her as he cleaned her tear-stained cheeks.
"Really?" Chen Lihua asked with a brightened look.
"Yes. Now it's time to sleep, let's go to bed," Liu Longwei said as he led her to the bed.
He helped to cover her with the duvet. Then, he switched off the room lights before going off to his side to lie down.
Next, he turned off the lamps on the nightstand before hugging his wife.
'Oh Longwei, only if you know that you've been tricked,' Chen Lihua said to herself with a smile, before closing her eyes to sleep.
