Chapter 815: Chapter 814 Gratitude
"Regardless of everything, thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it. Can we still be friends?" Song Yuhan asked.
Li Kai smiled, "Of course! Miss Song is such a forthright and cheerful girl, just my type. I’m really looking forward to acting together with you in the future."
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
The two high-fived.
"Great, since we’re both actors, let’s have dinner tonight on me. I’ll make sure you have a great time!" Li Kai said generously.
"Sure."
"However, I have plans tonight to eat out with a friend," Li Kai said.
"A friend?" Song Yuhan asked, puzzled, "What kind of friend? Male or female?"
"A woman, she’s very pretty and has a great personality, exactly my type."
"Then I congratulate you on finding your other half!" Song Yuhan said. "But... Li Kai, are you acting right now?"
"Yes!" Li Kai nodded, "I’m indeed Li Kai now, no longer acting, just me, not an actor."
Song Yuhan suddenly realized.
So, Li Kai was now in his role as an actor.
She’d previously thought he was just acting.
"Director Li is amazing!" Song Yuhan said sincerely.
"Thank you! But, I think you’re even more impressive!" Li Kai said.
Song Yuhan scratched her head, feeling embarrassed: "I’m not as good as you say, actually, I’m still a poor student."
"You don’t have to be modest. With me, there’s no need to pretend."
"Director Li..."
...
The two chatted for a long while until the night deepened, and then they went their separate ways.
...
The next morning, after getting up, Song Yuhan was preparing to go out to buy breakfast, but she saw a car parked at the front of the villa.
It was Li Kai who had brought her home.
"Director Li, thank you," Song Yuhan greeted politely.
"Have you forgotten our agreement so soon? Are we still friends?" Li Kai asked with a smile.
"Of course!"
"I hope we can become even closer friends!"
"This..." Song Yuhan hesitated for a while, then finally nodded, "Okay, Director Li."
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to buy breakfast."
"Thank you."
They got into the car.
"Director Li, where are we going?" Song Yuhan asked.
"To my place," Li Kai said.
"Your... place? Where is it?"
"It’s the hotel near the one we stayed at last night."
"Oh." Song Yuhan didn’t ask any more questions.
The car quickly reached its destination.
Li Kai got out of the car and opened the passenger side door: "Come out, my girlfriend."
Hearing this, Song Yuhan was still not over the surprise, and she stayed in shock for a moment before regaining her senses and slowly getting out of the car.
Li Kai took her hand.
"Director Li, thank you," Song Yuhan said softly.
"There’s no need to be so formal with me. Besides, we’ll be seeing each other often from now on."
Hand in hand, they walked into the hotel.
Song Yuhan looked at her hand intertwined with Li Kai’s, her heart beating faster and faster.
Could it be that she really had feelings for Li Kai?
Song Yuhan shook her head to shake off the strange thoughts.
She must be too tired and hallucinating. It had to be that!
...
Song Yuhan entered the room and was stunned by the furniture inside.
The simple decoration style was surprisingly similar to the layout of her own home, and there were even many more stuffed animals, making it apparent that Li Kai often stayed here.
So, he usually lives here!
"This is my private space, so don’t feel restrained," Li Kai said.
Song Yuhan glanced at Li Kai and noticed his eyes were fixed on her, making her feel very embarrassed.
Blushing, she went into the bathroom to freshen up, and after a shower and changing into clean clothes, she came out, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Li Kai.
Li Kai was also looking at her, his eyes sparkling.
Song Yuhan was a bit nervous.
She didn’t understand why her heartbeat suddenly felt so rapid.
"Song Yuhan, do you have time tonight? Let’s go out for a drink?" Li Kai invited.
"Sure."
...
Li Kai had reserved a spot and then brought Song Yuhan to a coffee shop.
The cafe was open-air, with an elegant and quiet environment, and was surrounded by blossoming flowers, which delighted the senses and eased the mind.
"This is one of my properties," Li Kai explained, "I enjoy peaceful surroundings, so I hired a designer from abroad and professional waitstaff, but... I don’t come here often. So, you don’t have to worry if the name of this coffee shop has any special significance."
Song Yuhan nodded indicating she understood.
"What would you like to drink?"
"A latte, please."
"Alright, just a moment."
Li Kai called over the waiter.
After the waiter had left, Song Yuhan looked around.
Although the place was quiet and elegant, it didn’t carry a romantic atmosphere; instead, it was rife with the strong scent of commerce.
Li Kai sat next to her and watched her facial expressions closely.
He noticed that she was very curious about everything here, and moreover, every time she caught his gaze, she would retract hers as if startled, clearly showing her unfamiliarity with the place.
"Song Yuhan, this is a high-end boutique," Li Kai reminded her, "This store features top luxury brands and sells limited edition phones and perfumes from all over the world, as well as..."
"That’s enough!" Song Yuhan quickly interrupted, "Director Li, I need to go to the restroom."
"Okay."
Song Yuhan stood up and left her seat.
Li Kai followed behind her, and they went to the restroom together.
...
Upon exiting the restroom, Song Yuhan turned around: "I’m fine now, thank you for bringing me back."
"Don’t be so formal, come on, I’ll take you to get breakfast."
"There’s no need, I can go by myself."
"Let’s go." Li Kai took her wrist and pulled her across the street.
...
"Miss Song, I’ve already reserved our spot; I’ll take you for a meal."
"There’s no need to trouble yourself, I can go by myself," Song Yuhan hastily declined.
"Alright then," Li Kai nodded slightly, "I’ll be on my way back then."
"Mm, drive safely," Song Yuhan nodded, watching Li Kai get into his car.
Only after watching his car drive away did she come back to her senses.
How could she agree to have a meal with Li Kai? She clearly had no thoughts about him.
Song Yuhan bit her lip and cursed herself for being an idiot.
She couldn’t go on like this!
This time, she must cut off her feelings for Li Kai!
Song Yuhan decided that starting tomorrow, she wouldn’t have meals with Li Kai anymore, otherwise, it would lead to misunderstandings!
...
The next day, at breakfast, Song Yuhan deliberately chose a spot far away from Li Kai to sit down.
Li Kai looked at Song Yuhan across from him, a hint of loss flashing in his eyes.
He knew his efforts were still not enough!
Song Yuhan kept her head down and ate her porridge, completely unaware of the fleeting loss in Li Kai’s eyes.
After breakfast, Li Kai took her to visit his newly purchased apartment.
The apartment wasn’t very large, but it was meticulously beautiful everywhere.
"Where’s your bedroom?" Song Yuhan asked casually.
"It’s on the third room to the left upstairs," Li Kai pointed to the staircase.
Following Li Kai’s directions, Song Yuhan walked to the staircase and began ascending.
Midway up, she suddenly collided with someone.
She quickly looked up: "I’m sorry."
After saying this, she lifted her head and was met with the sight of a handsome, sunny face.
"My apologies."
Song Yuhan apologized again, yet her heart was filled with joy.
This person...
Wasn’t he the very one she had been yearning for day and night!
Song Yuhan gazed at him.
"What’s wrong, did you hurt yourself?" Li Kai asked with concern.
"I... I’m fine," Song Yuhan quickly shook her head, not daring to tell him how excited she was to see him.
"That’s good then," Li Kai smiled, "I’ll be leaving now."
Song Yuhan nodded quickly: "Okay."
Watching Li Kai leave, Song Yuhan couldn’t help but wrap her arms around herself.
"How wonderful, this is bliss..." she murmured with a sweet smile on her face.
...
After Li Kai left, Song Yuhan immediately ran back to the company.
As soon as she entered the office, someone blocked her way.
"Assistant Song, I heard you and Director Li have planned to have lunch together?" a young female colleague looked at Song Yuhan with a smiling face, her tone revealing a hint of gossip.
Song Yuhan was taken aback for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Yes, is there a problem?"
"Of course not, it’s just that we’ve all been guessing if you and Director Li have a prior acquaintance? Or, are you some relative of his?" The female colleague said as she sized her up.
