After settling on the birthday gift, Mo Yi looked at Happy Kallen, who was browsing the clothes, and smiled. "Since we're already here, why not try on something suitable? You seem to like them."
"No—"
Happy Kallen was naturally unlike ordinary girls. If she truly enjoyed shopping for clothes, she would not have needed to ask Yae Sakura for help last night in deciding what to wear on her date with Mo Yi today.
In truth, whenever she saw an outfit, she imagined herself wearing it and the expression Mo Yi would make upon seeing her.
For example, when she spotted a pink nightgown in the distance, this story automatically formed in her mind—
Mo Yi, tired after a hard day of work, returned home and called out, "I'm home," only to receive no response. So he walked into the kitchen, where he indeed found Happy Kallen making dinner.
Of course, he was not upset over some trivial matter like Happy Kallen failing to answer him. What caught his attention was that she was wearing a new nightgown today, and she looked especially lovely in it.
So he walked over and hugged her from behind.
Happy Kallen, absorbed in cooking, finally realized that Mo Yi had returned. Though being hugged from behind was her favorite feeling and filled her with security, she was frying steak and needed to keep turning it over, or it would burn.
"You're back, darling—"
Happy Kallen gripped the pan handle as she turned the steak, her face flushed red. "Let go of me first, or the steak will burn. Sit down for a while; dinner will be ready soon—"
However, Happy Kallen found his embrace tightening instead.
"Compared to dinner, I want to eat you more right now."
"Don't do this, it really will burn.
