Chapter 151

Leslie’s gaze sharpened. He wondered if his mother had told Aurelia about his true identity.

“What else could I be?” he asked coldly.

Aurelia didn’t sense anything odd. After all, Leslie had always been cold and distant.

“Maybe a businessman. You’re just as cunning as one,” Aurelia replied with an awkward laugh. “A

cunning businessman, huh?”

Leslie put down his cup and wiped his hands.

Aurelia chuckled but eventually quieted down, realizing that it had been a bad joke. “Sorry.”

“If I’m a cunning businessman, what does that make you? A cunning businessman’s wife?” he asked.

Silence fell over them instantly. They were both rendered speechless as their conversation suddenly

shifted to the topic of “wife”.

Aurelia was unsure of how to react to this.

Leslie wiped his mouth and changed the subject. “I’m done eating. It’s settled then. You don’t have to

worry about anything. Just be yourself on Friday.”

Aurelia nodded. “Thank you. Sorry for troubling you.”

Leslie hummed nonchalantly and stood up. Aurelia followed suit and went to pay the bill.

When they left the restaurant, the sun was shining brightly.

Aurelia raised the umbrella and angled it slightly toward Leslie. However, he was too tall, and she had

to stand on tiptoes even though she was wearing high heels.

Leslie took a couple of steps before his head bumped into the top of the umbrella. He sighed and

stopped, then took the umbrella from Aurelia’s hand.

“I’ll hold it.”

“Thank you,” Aurelia said, looking up at him with a smile.

When he saw her smile, Leslie’s grip around the umbrella’s handle tightened.

After her makeover, Aurelia seemed to radiate a soft glow. Her lustrous black hair, fair skin, and gentle

smile all blended together into a captivating sight.

Leslie suddenly realized that he was staring at Aurelia.

He composed himself and kept walking.

Although there was still quite some distance between them, when Aurelia looked at their shadows on

the ground, she noticed that the umbrella was consistently tilted toward her side.

She was touched by this detail. Then, she was reminded of the three years she had spent with Seth.

When it had rained, Seth would offer to pick her up. But by the time they reached the subway, her

shoulder would be completely wet.

Yet, he would complain incessantly about getting a few raindrops on him.

“Aurelia, I wouldn’t have gotten wet if I hadn’t come to pick you up. I’m doing this because I love you so

much. You should treat me better in the future.”

“Of course,” she had replied.

When falling in love for the first time, a person would tend to magnify the other person’s virtues and

overlook the negative details.

Aurelia had thought that Seth coming to pick her up in the heavy rain was an act of love. But she had

ignored the fact that the umbrella had never once tilted her way.

The delicious scent of pastries wafted over as she was lost in her thoughts.

Aurelia sniffed and looked in the direction the smell was coming from, just to see people queuing up to

buy the pastries.

It had been a while since she had eaten any.

When she looked back, Leslie had changed his course and was headed straight for the bakery.

He calmly said to the staff, “One box, please.”

By the time Aurelia came to her senses, there was already a box of pastries in her hand.

“You’re drooling onto your clothes,” Leslie said.

Aurelia immediately wiped her mouth. “No, I’m not.”

Seeing this public display of affection, the shop assistant behind the counter pursed their lips.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Aurelia turned around and walked away.

As she held the warm pastries in her hand, her heart felt just as warm.

It turned out that such small details could indeed bring joy.

She glanced at Leslie, who had a cold and silent demeanor as usual.

When they arrived at the entrance of One Technology’s building, Aurelia immediately took her laptop

and bag from Leslie.
