However, Jian Ran still didn't have the courage.
Just a little more.
"You should head over first, I still have a few things I need to take care of."
Please give me some time to accept.
On the other side of the phone, there was another round of silence. Only after a long time did Jian Ran hear him whisper —
"Alright."
Jian Ran breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words to Qin Yue and hung up the phone.
It was now eleven-thirty, and some colleagues in the office were already preparing to go out for di
er.
Jian Ran put down her cell phone and started packing up, preparing to leave.
She, who was packing her things seriously, naturally couldn't see Qin Yue, who had just put down his phone outside Operation Department.
I
ovation Technology's office was mostly glass cubicles, and from the outside, one could clearly see the situation inside. At this moment, Qin Yue was standing outside Operation Department, quietly staring at Jian Ran.
He had been standing here for a long time. As he watched Jian Ran sitting in her office with her head lowered in deep thought, her expression suddenly clouded, he could not help but think: What is she thinking? Was it related to him?
Out of the blue, he took out his cell phone and dialed her number.
She was flustered at first, then flushed red, and then laughed like a summer flower.
He had seen many beauties in his life, many of whom were better than Jian Ran. However, Jian Ran had the most beautiful smile, and her smile was so bright that it could dazzle people. For a moment, he could not help but be absent-minded because of this smile.
Qin Yue wanted to take this smile for himself and tell everyone that she was his.
Out of politeness, he asked her.
Outside the glass, he saw her hesitation.
Suddenly, he felt a bit uncomfortable. He didn't know why.
She refused him, refused to make their relationship known to the world.
He suddenly wanted to take her hand without caring, to stop holding on to those strange promises, to a
ounce aloud that she was my wife.
But he couldn't bear to part with her. He couldn't bear to make things difficult for her.
So he said, "Okay."
Thus, her relieved appearance fell into the depths of his dark eyes.
After finishing her work, Xu Huiyi walked to Qin Yue's side and asked in a low voice: "Boss Qin, do you want to ask your wife to come with you?"
Inside the office, Jian Ran was still packing her things.
Qin Yue watched in silence. After a long while, he turned around and said to Xu Huiyi, "Let's go. There's no need to wait any longer."
When Jian Ran arrived at the private room of Lily Restaurant, Qin Yue had already been waiting for a long time.
When she opened the door, she saw Qin Yue gracefully sitting in front of the window in the room with his back upright.
He seemed to be looking at something, and the sunlight from the window fell on his forehead and on the side of his face, accentuating the clear, resolute lines of his face.
The scene before her eyes was like a painting, but somehow, Jian Ran saw loneliness in the painting.
He couldn't help but want to walk over and embrace him from behind.
However, before Jian Ran could make a move, Qin Yue had already noticed her.
He turned his face to the side and smiled. "You're here."
The sunlight fell upon his eyes like a sea of stars.
Jian Ran felt a burst of heat on her face and hurriedly avoided the dazzling gaze. She nodded softly and sat opposite Qin Yue.
Today, they were eating seafood.
Steamed Scallop with Snowfla
el, Curried Shuttle Crab, Three Fresh Tofu, Pumpkin Brewing Fresh Shrimp, Pepper Shredded Shrimp … The five dishes had different tastes. It suited two people's appetites.
Jian Ran really liked seafood, but unfortunately, her hometown, the capital, was inland and there weren't many seafood dishes. Later on, when she came to the Jiangbei along the coast, she had to make up for a lot of seafood.
She looked at the dishes on the table and looked at Qin Yue in surprise.
No one knew if it was a coincidence or something else, but Qin Yue seemed to know what she liked very well. It was as if he had known her for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yue was confused by her gaze and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing," Jian Ran said as she took a spoonful of tofu and put it in her mouth. The tofu was fragrant and her lips were still fragrant. She gave a satisfied smile. "I'm just curious as to why you always know what I like."
"Because …" I investigated you.
The latter half of the sentence was stuck in Qin Yue's throat, so he couldn't say it out loud.
He had spent a lot of effort investigating Jian Ran, and he knew very well what she had experienced and liked … But was this really the reason? Why had he gone to so much trouble to make her happy?
"Hmm?" Seeing that Qin Yue wanted to say something, Jian Ran blinked her eyes.
"Nothing, as long as you like it." Qin Yue said. He couldn't figure it out and couldn't give an answer, so he cut the conversation short.
The answer was very official and stiff. Jian Ran didn't know how to reply, so she merely replied with a "thank you" before lowering her head and eating in silence.
The two of them ate in silence for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, Qin Yue asked with doubt: "Don't you like sphinx?"
Jian Ran was slightly startled. It took her a while to react. She had prepared all the dishes, but she still hadn't touched the prawns … While he was eating, he was also observing her. To think that he had actually discovered this as well.
"I like it." She smiled.
She was very fond of salted prawns, which she could eat alone on a daily basis.
It was just that although the Shrimps were tasty, handling them was extremely troublesome, and they didn't look too good either. Therefore, she didn't want to eat in front of Qin Yue.
However, Qin Yue didn't think so. He knew that the Shrimps and Shrimps were delicious and difficult to eat.
Whenever he ate with Little Treasure in the past, Little Treasure would clamor for his mother to peel it for him, because if she couldn't peel it properly, he would cut himself. Her mother pampered her, peeling a whole plate of prawns for her every time.
Jian Ran said she liked it, but she didn't eat it. Perhaps it was because of this?
Thinking about it, Qin Yue took a disposable glove and a squid shrimp. As he recalled how his mother peeled the prawns, he tried to peel it.
He did not like eating shrimp. Naturally, he had never peeled them before, so he was clumsy at peeling them and was unable to find a way to use them even after a long time.
Jian Ran saw that he had been working around the bush for a long time, but still hadn't succeeded, so she took a Wis shrimp and said, "It's like this."
As she spoke, she pinched off the head of the Shrimp, then stuck her chopsticks into the tail of the Shrimp. The Shrimp's delicious meat broke free in an instant.
Qin Yue felt it was amazing, so he also wanted to give it a try. Thus, like Jian Ran, he took a pair of chopsticks. But no matter what, she couldn't get the meat out with the same agility as Jian Ran.
Jian Ran couldn't help but laugh when she saw his clumsy appearance. However, Qin Yue rolled his eyes at her.
"Come help me." Qin Yue said.
Once again, Jian Ran picked up the wyvern shrimp. Just as she was about to demonstrate, she heard Qin Yue say, "Handle."
He spoke lightly and naturally, as if it were a matter of course.
Jian Ran blushed again when she saw his pretentious eyes.
It was just stripping a prawn. Why would she blush?
She shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her head. Then he stood up and walked to Qin Yue's side.
Qin Yue sat while she stood. She could only bend down, grab Qin Yue's hand and teach him.
