"Pursue?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, uttering the two words lightly, his voice so calm that no emotion could be discerned.
Even her three-dimensional and exquisite features appeared inexplicably distant under the bright white light, and her whole person exuded a bone-chilling coldness.
He glanced sideways, his sharp gaze fixed on Yu Wan: "Did you say this yourself, Wanwan?"
Yu Wan's heart sank, and her fingers tightened even more.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Tang Fengji's deliberately ambiguous words guiding Tang Yue and Guan Kui to have a good relationship. Considering Tang Yue's attitude at this moment, she suddenly felt uncertain, and a strange sense of grievance and anger welled up in her chest.
"Are you afraid, or do you simply not want to admit it?" Yu Wan arrogantly raised her chin.
Does that mean he was just playing with her all along?
He should dare to say yes.
I'm definitely going to make him walk out of the coffee shop sideways today!
Guan Kui immediately switched on her gossip mode, holding the cup in both hands to watch the show.
"Why should I admit it?" Tang Yue glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "Because I'm not pursuing you to be my girlfriend, but rather seeking to have Yu Wan's name on the same household registration book as mine as soon as possible, with marriage as the premise."
The first half of the sentence was a scene of carnage, but the second half... the tone shifted too abruptly.
Because no one expected Tang Yue to say those words, the scene remained silent for more than half a minute.
Guan Kui almost spat out her water, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
Is this not just a casual fling, but rather a declaration of intent to get married? Rather than answering Yu Wan's question, it's more accurate to say that he's announcing his stance to her and the elite circle of Beijing behind her.
Tang Yue smiled slightly at her across the table, his expression gentle and clear.
To verify her idea, Guan Kui slowly tightened her grip on the teacup, took a sip, and lowered her eyes in thought: Just for the sake of Tang Yue's future wife, from this moment on, no matter what Yu Wan's identity or who she is, she must accept her, value her, and befriend her.
Unbeknownst to Yu Wan, the two had already reached a tacit understanding in the blink of an eye. Upon hearing Tang Yue's words, her ears immediately turned bright red, the pink color spreading all the way down her neck.
My heart felt like it was about to explode inside my chest.
That pervert actually... actually wants to register his marriage with her? Did he even get her consent? He's so shameless, humph!
Besides.
Even if it's for registering the household registration, it should be registered under her family's name.
Catching a glimpse of Tang Yue's calm and composed demeanor out of the corner of her eye, Yu Wan felt increasingly uneasy and, being quite concerned about her image, retorted, "Impossible, give up on that idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze instantly, falling into a deathly silence.
Tang Yue's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed, flashing with a dangerous light. He leaned back in his chair with a rather relaxed posture and slowly asked, "Why?"
"Because you're too poor, we're not a good match." Yu Wan made up an excuse, and as soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Tang Yue's face guiltily.
Guan Kui almost burst out laughing upon hearing this, her whole body trembling as she tried to hold it in.
Hahaha... What the hell is this mismatched social status?!
Who would have thought that one day, the unattainable beauty of the financial world would be so disliked? If word got out, it would surely cause an earthquake in the industry.
Noticing Yu Wan's cautious gaze, Tang Yue smiled and comforted her in a doting tone, "Sweetie, let's talk about these things when we get home. There are outsiders here."
Perhaps it was the word "outsider" that deeply pleased Yu Wan, or perhaps she was seduced by the other party's gentle and tender tone, but the corners of her lips involuntarily turned up.
She leaned back lazily on the sofa, instantly concealing all her sharp edges and thorns.
In her mind, the Peacecraft smiled rather lewdly: [Host, did you hear Tang Yue expressing his love for you? He truly loves you deeply.]
To better accomplish its mission, it has recently been catching up on a lot of local idol dramas featuring bickering lovers, such as "The Devil CEO's Little Assistant" and "The CEO's Substitute: The White Moonlight Returns"...
By the way, the screenwriter's name seems to be something like Sheng Yang.
Yu Wan: "...Did you mix up the model number?"
【? ? ? 】What's the meaning?
"Otherwise, why would you suddenly be doing matchmaking?" Yu Wan suddenly realized, "It's also possible that you've been infected with a virus."
[...]
The Peace, its engine pounding with frustration, slumped in a corner and reread "The Guide to How to Be Loved and Harmonious with Your Host." What was wrong? It had clearly been trying its best to learn the culture of its host's world.
-
Since it was late, the coffee shop closed after only half an hour of chatting. The three got up to say goodbye, first seeing Guan Kui to her car, leaving only Yu Wan and Tang Yue by the roadside.
Their eyes met.
There was a moment of silence.
The night breeze was chilly, so Tang Yue took off his coat and draped it over Yu Wan, asking, "Go home, or... take you somewhere else?"
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow: "Don't you have anything to ask me?" For example, she should still be in Australia right now, not in Jiangcheng.
Tang Yue smiled faintly: "If you want to say something..."
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, staring at him for several seconds.
Under the orange light, the man's eyes were deep and bright, like they were adorned with a sky full of stars.
Looking deeper, like in a romantic movie, the surrounding scenery seemed to be slowly blurring, and in her amber eyes, she could only see her own reflection.
To be valued and cherished!
Yu Wan suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Tang Yue's face.
Seeing him pause for a moment, Yu Wan arrogantly raised her chin: "Of course we're going home. I'm hungry, you cook."
Tang Yue pointed to his cheek and asked meaningfully, "What's this?"
"The cost of the meal," Yu Wan said with absolute certainty.
Suddenly, her waist was wrapped around his arm.
Yu Wan felt a little flustered and placed her hand on his chest: "What... are you going to do?"
Tang Yue leaned down, their breaths mingling: "Wanwan, I'm very expensive. You only paid a small amount earlier, this is the real bill."
He spoke very slowly, emphasizing the last two words, his voice sounding particularly ambiguous and seductive in the quiet, deserted street.
Yu Wan, as if possessed, gripped his shirt collar tightly, as if preparing to... offer a kiss.
-
The next day.
When Yu Wan returned to the Fusijia experimental base, she happened to run into Guan Kui at the entrance.
"Yuyu, I brought breakfast, shall we eat together?" Guan Kui greeted her familiarly and took her arm: "Jintang's egg yolk pastry and shrimp dumplings, fresh out of the oven."
Yu Wan frowned slightly, wondering if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Guan Kui's tone was more enthusiastic and intimate than yesterday.
The events of the following day confirmed her suspicions.
Not only that, Guan Kui also seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally trying to please her.
