Soft fairy lights draped overhead, twinkling like stars as they framed the intimate setting. At the center stood a table set for two, adorned with a bouquet of exotic night-blooming flowers whose fragrance soothed the senses. A pair of candles flickered between crystal glasses, their warm glow dancing across polished silverware and casting golden reflections on the tablecloth.
Beyond the terrace, the mansion's grounds stretched into a dimly lit flower garden, petals shimmering faintly under the moonlight. The scene was private, serene, and utterly enchanting.
Yu Xi paused, surprised by the effort Jian Ci had put into this. He let himself be guided to the table. Jian Ci pulled out a chair, gesturing for him to sit.
Yu Xi smiled softly. "You spoil me too much."
"I love spoiling you," Jian Ci replied, his voice tender. "It's natural to me."
