252 Deep Love (6)

After the sunset, they left Sheng Heng Building and ate dinner nearby before heading to the airport.

This was Pei Ling’s first time taking a plane. He skipped up the gangway and sized up his surroundings through the cabin door, curious and excited.

He raised one of his short legs and struggled to climb onto the European-style sofa. He stared at the porthole and said, “Mom, can I open it?”

“No.” Lin Jiao sat beside him and explained why he couldn’t. “Lingling, put on your seatbelt.”

Pei Ling found the seatbelt from behind and slowly put it on before letting her check.

He stuck his head out and looked out. His eyes, which were similar to Pei Zhi’s, were filled with focus. “When is the plane taking off?”

“Wait another five minutes.” Pei Zhi turned off the screen and asked the two bodyguards to rest in the back row.

He observed Pei Ling’s expression and was relieved to see that he was not uncomfortable when the plane took off.

When the plane rose into the night sky and flew steadily, Pei Ling stood on the sofa and admired the lights below.

For children, the moment closest to the clouds was worth remembering. They would keep this scene vividly in their hearts and minds.

Regardless of whether he would remember it in the future, at least for now, his world was painted beautifully.

“It’s dark outside.” Pei Ling looked away when the plane flew past the city area. “Dad, I want to drink juice.”

“Okay.” Pei Zhi asked the flight attendant to bring him juice.

He glanced at the watch on his wrist and took out the cake when it was a few minutes away from midnight. “Lingling, put in the candles.”

Pei Ling picked out two blue candles from the box and placed them on the cake.

He watched as Pei Zhi lit the candle. Then, he pressed his palms together and made a birthday wish.

“Happy birthday to you…” Lin Jiao hummed the tune.

A birthday song was playing on the stereo. Lin Jiao and Pei Zhi looked at him and hummed along to the melody.

After the song ended, he blew out the candles.

He sat down obediently and held a piece of cake with both hands. No matter how anxious he was to eat the cake, he still used the fork.

Pei Zhi put down the cake plate after taking a bite and pulled Lin Jiao into his arms.

He stared at the cream stain on her lips, his eyes darkening in the dim light. “Honey, you’re seducing me again.”

“How am I seducing you?”

“You’re licking the corner of your mouth.”

Lin Jiao paused in the middle of raising her hand and subconsciously thought of the unequal post-marriage agreement.

The agreement was originally drafted by her. The purpose of it was very simple, which was to restrain his desires.

However, he changed it later. What left a deep impression on her was article 10. If Lin Jiao seduced Pei Zhi (including but not limited to licking her lips, twisting her waist, raising her leg, and wearing a lace dress in front of Pei Zhi), Pei Zhi could choose his favorite venue twice.

It was obvious what his favorite venue was.

“Lingling is going to sleep with us tonight.” Lin Jiao avoided his gaze.

“Let’s go to the bathroom.”

Pei Zhi did not give her a chance to find an excuse and whispered into her ear, “The bathtub in that hotel is not bad. You’ll definitely like it.”

His deep voice was filled with ambiguity, and his breath was irresistible.

Lin Jiao did not say anything, as if she had agreed.
