An Xiaxia looked away diffidently. She then returned to her seat and pretended to cough a little. "I don't feel so well… I think I should go home now."
She tugged at Sheng Yize's sleeve as she spoke.
Sheng Yize played along. "I'll drive her back."
Those at the table jeered and hooted. "Ouch! Have mercy on poor single people here! Lovey-dovey couples are the worst!"
An Xiaxia smiled uneasily. However, Sheng Yize seemed to adjust to this new role as a husband just fine. He kept a hand on An Xiaxia's waist and opened the door for her like a gentleman.
Once outside, the dry, hot summer air instantly enveloped them. An Xiaxia let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. You did me a great favor."
"Any time." Sheng Yize smiled mildly. "I'll give you a ride back home."
Before An Xiaxia had a chance to decline his offer, he was already leading her toward the parking lot and he opened the car door for her.
Just like before.
