The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 525: A missing limb and love.

With the story of Xiaobo’s naughty tales finished, Caishen’s eyes moved to whatever she was eating so happily with a little childish hum.

"What are you eating?"

"This is the cake meant for the birthday of the old man of the Enrich family, i liberated it."

Caishen rolled his eyes because he didn’t believe her. Her liberation was another word for theft, she had stolen the cake.

"It’s so good, i am going to bring some back home for all of you. It’s a six tiered cake, as long as i keep it in a compartment in my bag, we can spend two to three months eating it."

"What else did you liberate?"

She thought about the things in her bag and she felt even happier. "How would you feel about owning a few paintings?"

She pulled her bag and from it, she pulled out one painting that she taken off the wall of the Heinrich castle. "I don’t know what it is but my eyes couldn’t look away. It’s beautiful, so beautiful, look at the nicely drawn fruits."

Caishen realized that while Alix was good at drawing oil paintings, she did not have much knowledge about the art world. If she did, she would not be so clueless about the painting in her hands after all.

"Alix, that’s a Paul Cezanne painting, it’s worth at least two hundred million dollars, you can’t go around showing it to people. Put it back in the bag."

Her eyes bulged when she heard the price and she did as he said quickly. She had simply taken whatever her eyes were attracted to after, a common occurrence thanks to her skill of identifying beautiful things. She just didn’t think it was that expensive.

"I took five more paintings hubby, they were just there on the walls with no security like ripe mangoes on a tree by the roadside waiting to be picked by anyone. If they know how valuable these paintings are then why are they leaving them out?

They should be hiding them in a basement somewhere where nobody can ever see them. I will just consider it another liberation, i saved the paintings from the fire."

Caishen closed his eyes for three seconds and took a deep breath. "You started the fire, technically you are not a liberator. Oh my God! you are just like your grandfather, so shameless."

She leaned forward and supported her head with her elbows sitting on the table. "Now that’s a word i have not heard in a long time, shameless. It takes me back to the early days of our marriage." She sighed sadly. "Hubby, i am in one of the most romantic cities in the world without you by my side."

Didn’t people call Paris the city of lovers? She wanted to visit the Eiffel tower and the love lock bridge but she didn’t want to go alone. She didn’t want to be surrounded by a sea of lovers by her lonely self. Maybe she could trick Mantis into going with her. It had be be tricking because Mantis claimed to be allergic to all things cliche romance. She had told Alix why kiss when you can kick ass. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Do you want me to come?" Caishen came a little closer to the camera and softened his voice. "I can abandon everything and be on a plane on my way to you within ten to eleven hours. We can do all the things other couples do in the city of love, a walk through the beautiful streets, a proposal in front of the Eiffel tower, lock those padlock with our names, romantic dinner with a violinist and then we dance under the stars while i look into your eyes and tell you what you mean to me."

Alix held back the ’aww’ in her mind. Everything sounded like almost every other cliche romance movie that she hated so much but still seemed enjoyable as long as it was him.

"As sweet as that is, you have to work and so do i. I have only two days in Paris then i am off to Venice and finally i come home. Besides, if any other violinist plays music for us during dinner my attention might end up torn between you and the music. Let us do all those things when i come back home."

"When is that? I miss you already sister hulk." He poked the screen with one of his index fingers as he looked at her familiar beautiful face. "I miss you Alix." he repeated, firmer than before.

Saying that he missed her was an understatement, he longed for her with every breath that he took. Sleep no longer came easily to him now that she was not there and he had only slept for two hours the previous night. To distract himself from thoughts of her, he was working as if he had been away from the office for months.

It was more than simply missing her, it felt a little like an amputation, like something was missing, a piece of him.

It had not even been a week and he was miserable, why did he ever talk himself into believing that her music tours internationally would not be a big deal?

Alix touched one of her fingers to the lap top screen and sighed sadly. How could he make her feel butterflies when he was miles away?

"I miss you too hubby Zhang, Majesty is not as nice to cuddle as you."

He chuckled. "Majesty doesn’t like to cuddle at night Alix."

"It was either him or Mantis, she slept in my hotel room last night. I think she is going to do the same again today. Speaking of Mantis, why did your brother invite her to breakfast?" She waited curiously for him to share the latest news in the family that she was unaware of.

But Caishen didn’t want to talk about his brother. Those were things they could talk about when she had returned, hell she could even contact Zhang Bo directly and ask him about it.

"I don’t want to talk about my brother right now, i want to talk about us."

"What do you want to talk about hubby? Do you want me to tell you how much i miss you and how lonely i am without you? How i feel your absence in the crowd when i play which makes zero sense because you cannot attend all my concerts?

Should we talk about how impatient i am for this tour to end so that i can come back home to you or how i can’t wait for our real wedding that i smile foolishly every time i pass by a wedding shop and...."

She was moving her head from side to side playfully as she joked around light heartedly. She meant every word but if she sounded so serious, she was afraid he would get scared maybe. Or he would laugh her words off and her heart would find itself plunged into an abyss of disappointment.

Out of the blue, he said something that caused her brain to freeze and her head to stop moving.

"I love you, Alix." he confessed. "No jokes."
