Chapter 239
Leanna was now regretting it completely. She should not have mocked him with that question earlier.
After parking the car, Aidan said indifferently, "Get out."
Pouting, Leanna had no choice but to compromise.
When they arrived at the street of food stalls, Aidan ordered a few food items Leanna wanted to try last
time. Then, he skilfully led her to the side and sat down.
Leanna was actually surprised to see him remembering every single food item from last time.
However, she was pregnant back then, so she had a bigger appetite. In contrast to the present, she
could not finish all of the food.
Just as she was about to say something, Aidan met her gaze. "Do you need more?"
"Uh… No."
It was weird. She came here twice, and although everything seemed to be different, it felt completely
the same somehow.
At the end of their meal, Leanna felt that her worries earlier were in vain since they had finished all of
the food items they ordered with almost nothing left.
Aidan may be a picky person, but he would never waste food. Perhaps this was related to the habits he
formed during his childhood.
After the meal, Leanna asked tentatively, "President Pearson, shouldn't we head back now?"
Rising to his feet, Aidan replied leisurely, "Since we just finished eating, we should do something to aid
our digestion."
With that, he strode toward the location of the love lock bridge.
Leanna was forced to follow.
It was a time when most students were on their winter break. There was an especially large number of
young couples and it was even livelier compared to the last time they were there.
They had not walked for long before Leanna was separated from Aidan in the crowd.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she was wondering if she should find someplace to sit, a warm large hand suddenly took hers.
She subconsciously raised her head to look. The b*stard who had disappeared in the crowd had come
back without her noticing.
Leanna wanted to remove her hand from his, but she struggled a few times in vain, only to be grasped
tighter. The man even took the opportunity to interlace his fingers tightly with hers.
Subsequently, he boldly found an excuse. "There are too many people here. We don't get separated if
we do this."
Before she could decline, he continued walking forward while holding her hand.
Reluctant, Leanna continued to struggle with his hand. She did so until a small girl walked right in her
direction. She did not notice the girl; had Aidan not reached out to shield her, she would have collided
with the girl.
The place was indeed overcrowded, so Leanna could only give up.
Among the crowd, they looked like a normal lovely couple.
Once they reached the love lock bridge, Leanna was taken by surprise when Aidan actually took her to
line up at the spot to purchase the love lock.
Still, she maintained her sense of reason and calm. "President Pearson, do you think this is
reasonable?"
"Yes, I do."
"Well, I don't!"
Aidan's expression remained unfazed. "What can I say? That's your problem."
At that point, Leanna did not want to play his stupid game anymore. Just as she was about to remove
her hand from his again, two men walked up to them and one of them was holding a camera.
"Hello, we are the staff of the love lock bridge. Are you a couple by any chance?"
"No—"
Aidan answered confidently, "We're married."
The staff member immediately understood. "Sir, Ma'am, pardon the intrusion. We just feel that you both
are a very loving couple, and your image and aura together are wonderful. May we invite you for a
photoshoot to serve as an advertisement for the love lock bridge? To express our sincerity, you don't
have to line up, so you can get the love locks right away. Besides that, we're also giving you a little gift."
Pfft. Enlighten me, in what way do we look like a loving couple? Leanna sneered to herself.
At that moment, a man's calm voice sounded beside her. "Sure."
Leanna turned around and widened her eyes as she stared at him in disbelief.
You? Taking photos? The b*stard doesn't even like having his photos taken! His photos are nowhere to
be found on the official website of Pearson Group or any finance newspapers.
"This way please." The staff led them.
"No, I—"
"You didn't want to line up, right? So stop making a fuss," Aidan whispered to her.
Leanna was caught off guard. Do I look like I was complaining about the line? This b*stard is just
making things up!
Once they arrived at the brook with lanterns floating on it, the staff member said, "All right, just be
natural. You can act like earlier, chatting and whatnot. It's fine either way."
At this point, reluctance was written all over Leanna's face and she did not cooperate in the least.
Aidan leaned in and uttered slowly with his low voice, "If you keep struggling, I might kiss you in front of
everybody."
Speechless, she quickly retorted, "President Pearson, if you're fine with me hitting you in front of
everybody, you can try."
Ignoring her words, Aidan slightly tilted his head and straightened himself. Then, his thin lips brushed
against her cheek.
At that moment, Leanna froze from head to toe. She never expected such a gesture from him.
This was even more… irritating than him kissing her boldly and matter-of-factly.
Aidan was satisfied with her reaction as he curled his lips.
Meanwhile, the staff member walked over to them and informed them, "All right, the photos are done.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThank you very much. Come with me, please."
Before Leanna could react, the b*stard was already dragging her with him as he walked forward.
Arriving at the building near the love lock bridge, the staff member retrieved a love lock from a drawer
and passed it to them. "Write your names on this love lock, then hang it on the bridge. That'll be all."
Naturally, Aidan reached out and took it. He picked up a pen on the table, then bent over and wrote
down their names on the love lock.
As Leanna watched the scene, she opened her mouth to say something, but she felt that it would be
useless anyway. She touched her nose a little uncomfortably as she looked in the distance.
After Aidan had written their names, the staff member said, "Sir, please leave an address and we'll
deliver the gift to you tomorrow."
While the man was writing his address, Leanna suddenly looked at the cameraman, who was waiting at
the side. "Can I get another love lock? I haven't written mine."
The cameraman looked terribly confused.
Don't couples just write both their names on one love lock? Why is she asking for another one?
"Just ignore her," Aidan said calmly.
"You're being unreasonable here, President Pearson. How can they ignore me? I contributed too, so it's
not too much to ask for a love lock, right?" Leanna rebuked.
"Whose names are you writing?"
"Mine and Elijah's, of course."
Aidan's expression gradually darkened as he stared coldly at her.
Seeing that, the two staff members exchanged glances, then decided to escape the oncoming war.
They already received the address anyway.
Leanna smiled at Aidan. "Are you mad now, President Pearson?"
"No."
"Then—"
"I'm jealous."
Leanna fell silent.
This b*stard keeps coming up with the worst answers.
