Chapter 119 Discussion

What Yan Nian didn't expect was that Xu Yiqing actually cooked for her at home for three weeks, and no two meals were the same.

Like a dream, she hoped it would continue like this forever.

That day, when the two of them were having dinner, Yan Nian always felt that Xu Yiqing had something to ask her. There was a reason why she could seize the opportunity so easily. Xu Yiqing always spoke directly and never gave her a chance to respond.

Every time we sat down to eat after a trip, we had endless things to talk about. Whether it was intentional or out of genuine feeling, I never asked her about her work or her love life.

It was strange today. Xu Yiqing didn't say anything and only looked at her occasionally while picking up food.

Yan Nian couldn't help but wonder if she could no longer bear it and if she had returned to the past.

After some preparation in her heart, Yan Nian felt very uncomfortable and put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Mom."

"Hmm?" Xu Yiqing looked up at her with a puzzled look.

Yan Nian asked in a vigilant tone, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

She is afraid that if she doesn't take the initiative, she will become passive.

Xu Yiqing felt a little disappointed. Even though she was in this state, Yan Nian was still wary of her.

She had endured for so many days without asking her about her relationship issues because she was afraid that she would not be able to handle it well and that Yan Nian would be disappointed in her again.

If she doesn't ask, she will always feel uneasy.

Yan Nian had made it very clear that she had something to say.

Looking at the woman who had changed so much in front of him, he was afraid that she would return to her old self. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xu Yiqing. He drank a sip of water slowly and said, "If you have any questions, just ask! It's hard to hold them in."

Xu Yiqing opened her mouth slightly, and seeing her eyes subconsciously avoiding him, she felt even more guilty. It seemed that every time she spoke before, Yan Nian did the same, never looking at her.

Xu Yiqing also put down his bowl and chopsticks and said hurriedly, "Nothing." He felt uncomfortable if he didn't ask, so he asked again, "I just wanted to ask, what have you thought about what I told you before?"

Yan Nian looked at her and thought carefully for two seconds. She remembered that she had mentioned inviting Zhou Ran to her house for dinner before. As for what else, she didn't remember.

Is this the case?

I have been too indulgent in the past month and have forgotten a lot of things.

Yan Nian answered uncertainly: "I'll ask him."

A hint of relief flashed in Xu Yiqing's eyes, and he spoke more forcefully: "If you have time, let's do it this Sunday. Bring him home for dinner, and invite your father as well. If you don't have time, we'll talk later."

It sounds irrefutable.

To Yan Nian's surprise, Xu Yiqing took the initiative to mention Yan Qilin.

Confirming that it was this matter, Yan Nian felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Yes."

She believed that in just over a month, Xu Yiqing had become more like a loving mother. If she could maintain this attitude, she would have nothing else to ask for.

At the same time, she and Zhou Ran sincerely hope to get their parents' affirmation and support, and that is enough.

At least Xu Yiqing was changing for the better. After knowing that Zhou Ran was her boss, she did not make a fuss about asking her to quit her job or stop her from associating with Zhou Ran just for the sake of face.

Xu Yiqing has invested a lot of effort in her, and in this regard, she is often seen through a thick filter.

During that time, she was really afraid of repeating the same mistake.

Fortunately not.

Xu Yiqing didn't ask any more questions and picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food for her.

Yan Nian also picked up some food for her: "You eat too."

They both loved each other, but in the wrong ways.

Xu Yiqing stared at the meat in the bowl for a moment, then smiled: "Yeah."

Yan Nian looked at Xu Yiqing, like a child who had received a reward, and smiled with satisfaction at the meat she picked up. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable.

She hadn't told Zhou Ran specifically why she stood him up that year, so if they were to meet formally...

Yan Nian was secretly worried.

-

It was almost the end of the year, and the translation team was as usual. The people under them were extremely busy, and Zhou Ran was so busy that she didn't even have time to say hello to her.

On Thursday, during lunch break, Yan Nian came out of the tea room and saw someone entering the office. He decided to discuss the matter with Zhou Ran.

Then he followed quietly and pushed the door open to go in.

As soon as I closed the door and turned around, I bumped into a wall of flesh.

Yan Nian was startled and looked up. Zhou Ran was looking down at her condescendingly.

Yan Nian moved aside: "I have something to talk to you about."

Zhou Ran's eyes were filled with fatigue. He easily pulled the man over, put his arm around his waist, and walked inside. "What do you mean by sneaky? Eat with me first."

Ever since Gu Pingping found out about their situation, she would ask Zhou Ran every time she ordered food. Yan Nian has been eating lunch here for a long time.

Zhou Ran opened the lid of the lunch box and picked out some food for her: "Go ahead."

Yan Nianxian asked, "Are you free this Sunday?"

Zhou Ran answered without thinking: "Yes."

Yan Nian bit her chopsticks and said, "If there is any,"

Zhou Ran looked at her.

"Come home with me to meet my parents."

Zhou Ran was amused by her words and was quite domineering. He went home with her to meet his parents.

However, he was more happy that the girl wanted to take him to meet the elders, and there was no problem in his family. The key point was that she had to be willing and her family had to agree, so that he could marry her openly.

Yan Nian saw him but smiled without saying anything, and asked uncertainly: "Is there a problem?"

Zhou Ran smiled: "No problem."

Yan Nian reassured him: "Don't forget this Sunday."

"Um."

After dinner, Zhou Ran took the person into his lounge.

Yan Nian had never been here before. He always left after dinner. This was the first time he came in.

The lounge was not very spacious. Before Yan Nian could take a closer look, the person next to her had already taken off his coat, turned off the light, and hugged her from behind, collapsing on the bed. Yan Nian felt as if the world had turned in her direction.

"Rest with me for a while."

The heater is on inside, so it's not cold at all, and you don't have to cover yourself with a blanket.

Yan Nian rested her head on Zhou Ran's hand and turned to face him. Zhou Ran closed his eyes and hugged her closer: "Don't move."

Yan Nian felt uncomfortable wearing his coat and pulled at it slightly.

Zhou Ran suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her. The light was dim, but Yan Nian could still see the danger in his eyes.

He looked like he was going to eat her alive if she moved again.

Yan Nian's heart trembled, and the fingertips that were pulling at the clothes froze in place. How could there be such a domineering person who would not let anyone move?

Zhou Ran closed his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Even though it was dark, Yan Nian saw it: "You go to sleep, I'm going out."

She moved slightly, and Zhou Ran clamped her waist, turned over and pressed her under him.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. Yan Nian experienced this deeply and finally understood why Zhou Ran didn't let her move around.

Zhou Ran kissed her on the belly.

The heat made Yan Nian shiver.

He smiled and put down her outer clothes one by one.

Go out and get some tissues, pick up her hand and wipe it.

No one got enough rest, and most of the lunch break was over.

Yan Nian pushed him away with a red face: "I'm going out."

He quickly opened the door and went out, calmly closing the door of the general manager's office. There was no one outside, so Yan Nian went straight to the bathroom.

There was warm water in the bathroom, but Yan Nian turned on the cold water and took a shower for a long time before walking back.

When Xu Mi entered the translation team, she took off the blindfold and saw her face flushed. She asked, "Why is your face so red?"

Yan Nian ignored her and sat down to turn on the computer.
