Wax… Candles?
Ruan Tang stared in shock as she pushed Xu Lai away, annoyed. "What kind of person do you take me for? Even for an old married couple, playing with things like that is going too far!"
Xu Lai was stunned.
He said cautiously, "We're just having a candlelight dinner. That shouldn't be too much, right?"
Ruan Tang: ???
Confused, she asked, "A candlelight dinner? Then why did you say 'candles'?"
"...Well, if I hadn't said candles, should I have just said 'dinner'?"
"..."
Ruan Tang paused, considering his point. It seemed to make sense.
Wait a minute... Does that mean I got the wrong idea?
At that moment, Ruan Tang wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. It was far more embarrassing than the time she'd fainted in the haunted house.
"Honey, what were you thinking just now? Could it be..."
Xu Lai looked at her with a strange expression.
