The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife-Chapter 53: I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist wanting to hold you.

"Uh, thank you."

She bowed her head, her soft voice of gratitude like a humble schoolgirl, prompting Xu Yisen to gently reach out and stroke her head.

"You’re welcome, silly girl."

His unexpected affectionate gesture made Munni look up at him in surprise.

The bright light spilled into her eyes, making them exceptionally bright, as if they were filled with a sky full of stars, twinkling with countless gleams in an instant.

"Don’t look at me like that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist wanting to hold you."

Munni slid a hand into her coat pocket, clenching it tightly so that her nails pressed into her palm, sending a faint pain. It was her only way to remind herself to stay rational and not get lost in his gentle trap.

After suppressing the emotions she shouldn’t have, she jokingly spoke, "Tsk tsk, only after a divorce did I realize your skills at flirting are so impressive."

Xu Yisen chuckled dumbfoundedly and teased back with the same casual attitude, "Well, if we get married again, you’ll find my skills at treating my wife are equally impressive."

Munni rolled her eyes at Xu Yisen and ignored him, continuing to select other ingredients.

After shopping for a while longer, they left the supermarket only after filling their cart with various ingredients.

Just as they stepped out of the supermarket, they felt the cold air assault them. Munni shrugged her shoulders and mumbled softly, "Seems colder than previous years, but why hasn’t it snowed yet?"

Xu Yisen pushed the cart with one hand, while casually draping his other hand over Munni’s shoulder, like a buddy, "Come on, let me warm you up."

Munni disdainfully swatted his hand away, "Get off, don’t make me feel even colder."

Xu Yisen chuckled slightly and withdrew his hand.

...

After returning to Munni’s home, Munni changed into comfortable home clothes and donned an apron to busy herself in the kitchen, while Xu Yisen helped her wash the vegetables on the side.

The soft yellow light from the ceiling flowed down like water, making the atmosphere in the kitchen exceptionally cozy and harmonious.

When Xu Yisen looked up, he saw Munni’s petite figure busying herself with her back to him, feeling a strange itch inside, and the desire to remarry her grew stronger in his heart.

After bustling about for a while, everything was finally ready. As Xu Yisen sat at the dining table waiting for Munni to join him, he idly took out his phone to snap a picture of the bountiful hotpot dinner on the table and posted it on Weibo, with the caption — Heard this weather is perfect for hotpot.

Just as he finished posting on Weibo, Munni placed the freshly prepared lobster salad on the dining table.

While undoing her apron, she quipped, "I remember you like lobster salad, hope my cooking skills haven’t gotten rusty. Does this show enough sincerity in my gratitude?"

Xu Yisen chuckled dumbfoundedly, "Thanks for the trouble, feeling a bit flattered."

"Save your flattery."

Munni sat across from him, adding some ingredients to the hotpot while Xu Yisen picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of lobster meat into his mouth.

"The texture is great, very delicious."

Xu Yisen nodded contently, not forgetting to give Munni a thumbs-up.

Munni laughed at his exaggerated expression, she also picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of lobster meat into her mouth, savoring it carefully, "Uh-huh, it’s really good."

The ambiance throughout the meal was extremely harmonious, the two chatted casually, and time slipped by quickly.

After finishing dinner and tidying up the tableware, it was already past ten.
