"Pay them their wages and have them leave this place." Lu Siye's voice was icy cold, leaving no room for the slightest doubt.
"Mr. Lu, did they do something to displease you?" The manager bowed deeply.
"They displeased my wife."
The manager tried to speak again but was cut off by Lu Siye.
"Say one more word, and you're out too."
Lu Siye's frigid voice was almost deafening, as if he were about to sentence the person before him to a slow death.
"Yes, I understand."
"Yanyan, let's go." Lu Siye took Ning Yan's hand and led her away from there.
"We'll shop somewhere else."
After all, the entire department store belonged to him—there was no worry about not finding something Ning Yan liked.
When they passed by a plush toy store, Ning Yan shook off Lu Siye's hand and ran inside.
"Wow, what a big bear! Yanyan loves it so much!
Boo hoo hoo, this white one is pretty too, and this pink one is also adorable."
"Honey, what should I do? Yanyan loves them all."
Ning Yan tugged at Lu Siye's sleeve. Though it was a coquettish gesture, her gaze wasn't on him—it was fixed on the plush toys.
"If Yanyan likes them, we'll buy them all." Lu Siye raised his large hand and patted Ning Yan's head.
"Really?"
Lu Siye nodded.
"Everything madam has looked at—wrap them all up and deliver them to the villa." Lu Siye instructed the shop assistant in a low voice.
The shop assistant nodded and wrapped up everything Ning Yan had laid eyes on.
Ning Yan dashed over to Lu Siye and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, honey."
"Silly girl, what's there to thank? This is all your husband's duty."
"Honey." Ning Yan called out to the man beside her in her sweet, soft voice.
"What is it?"
"I spend so much—will I spend all your money? Is there enough for me?"
Hearing Ning Yan's question, Lu Siye couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Was six-year-old Ning Yan this adorable?
"No, you'll never be able to spend all of your husband's money."
Lu Siye patted Ning Yan's head, comforting her and telling her not to worry about money.
Not just this lifetime—even the next lifetime would be more than enough for her to squander freely.
"That's good, that's good."
Then she could spend with peace of mind.
She really liked Barbie dolls—she wondered if her husband would buy them for her.
Those Barbie dolls were so pretty!
Behind Ning Yan, Lu Siye guessed what the little girl was thinking.
"Get one of each of these." Lu Siye casually pointed, taking one of every Barbie doll on the shelf.
Wedding gown ones, ancient costume ones, casual wear ones, and so on.
"Very well, Mr. Lu." The shop assistant quickly said.
"Wow, honey is the best!"
This husband was so nice—she wasn't switching husbands, definitely not switching.
He understood her so well.
Ning Yan shuffled over to Lu Siye in small steps.
"Honey, you're too tall. Bend down a little."
Hearing the little girl's complaint, Lu Siye slowly bent his tall frame down.
The moment Lu Siye lowered himself, Ning Yan kissed him right on his thin lips.
Seeing this, the shop assistant quickly covered her eyes.
This wasn't something she could watch—this wasn't something she could watch. She'd be silenced.
Lu Siye froze for a moment, then secretly deepened the kiss a little.
He didn't dare use force, only carefully kissing the little girl in his arms.
After the kiss ended, Lu Siye's expression changed.
"Who taught you that?"
"In the TV show, I saw a drama the other day where they kissed like that, and it said only a wife can kiss that way," Ning Yan replied to Lu Siye with a serious expression.
"That's right, only a wife can kiss, and a wife can only kiss her husband."
Lu Siye continued, echoing Ning Yan's words.
The female shop assistant beside them couldn't help but twitch her mouth. Boss Lu, you're such a sly dog.
It wasn't until Ning Yan couldn't spin anymore that Lu Siye picked her up and left the department store.
At Acre Restaurant.
"How about steak?" Lu Siye handed the menu to Ning Yan.
"You can choose for me."
She knew Lu Siye treated her very well, and she also knew what she liked to do and eat.
This husband was simply wonderful.
But Yanyan was too young, yet she had such a grown-up husband.
However, this body didn't seem like that of a six-year-old girl. Could she really be sick?
What illness did she have? Would she die?
Ning Yan's little head began to wander with all sorts of thoughts.
As she thought, tears started to fall drop by drop. Her nose tingled, and Ning Yan cried even harder.
Seeing Ning Yan cry, Lu Siye panicked.
"What's wrong, Yanyan? Why are you suddenly crying?"
Lu Siye sat beside Ning Yan, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her back to soothe her.
"Husband, will Yanyan die?" Ning Yan sniffled and asked Lu Siye with a serious expression.
"No, how could Yanyan die?" Lu Siye stroked the top of Ning Yan's head, his tone doting and gentle as he patiently explained to her.
"Yanyan is only six but already this big. Is Yanyan turning into a monster?"
"No, Yanyan is just feeling unwell. It will get better soon," Lu Siye shook his head, giving her a definite answer.
"Really? Yanyan won't die?" Ning Yan asked Lu Siye with her big, round eyes wide open.
"No, I promise."
"Alright, no more crying." Lu Siye reached out and wiped away the tears at the corners of Ning Yan's eyes.
He couldn't bear to see her cry. When she cried, it was as if the whole world had wronged her.
"Then Yanyan definitely isn't six anymore, right?"
A faint smile that was hard to notice curved at the corner of Lu Siye's thin lips. This little girl was getting clever now.
"That's right, Yanyan is 20 this year.
But with your husband, Yanyan can always be a child, always six years old."
Ning Yan sniffled, her soft, sweet voice carrying a hint of sobbing, "Okay, then Yanyan is six."
"Alright, six."
After coaxing Ning Yan, the food was served.
Lu Siye cut the steak for Ning Yan, peeled the shrimp, and then fed her bite by bite.
Only after Ning Yan finished eating did Lu Siye start to eat himself. He took a few bites and then stopped.
The people around them looked at the two with envy.
This was what they called one making a fuss and the other coaxing.
She fussed while he smiled.
By the time they arrived at Yunyue Villa, Ning Yan had fallen asleep.
Lu Siye carried her upstairs.
Yanyan, do you know? Today was the happiest day of my life, because my Yanyan kissed me. It was the first time Yanyan kissed me since she grew up.
Yanyan, I'm a little selfish. I hope my Yanyan won't regain her memories.
But… I don't want it that way. I'd rather you avoid me than have you like this.
"Husband, I love you."
Ning Yan murmured these words in her sleep.
Lu Siye's gaze turned tender, and a deep smile curved at the corner of his thin lips.
Yanyan, I love you too.
So much, so much.
Lu Siye's heart had only ever fluttered for one person, and that person was you—Ning Yan.
Lu Siye gently caressed Ning Yan's cheek, then rose and left the room.
In the study.
Lu Siye continued handling company matters.
