Tang Yi stared at Ye Huanhuan, his gaze deep and intense, as if trying to pierce through her soul.
His tone was full of sincerity and deep affection, captivating the listener like a spell:
"I don't need anything in return, all I want is you."
Ye Huanhuan lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to meet Tang Yi's gaze, and her voice became soft and low:
"But I'm divorced, are you really not bothered by that?"
Tang Yi smiled lightly, not caring at all, and said, "So what? Divorce is just an experience in your life. I'll be there for you in the future."
Ye Huanhuan's voice grew lower and lower, trembling slightly: "And... I can't have children..."
At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the insecure version of herself she had been in the Song family.
However, Tang Yi reached out his warm hand and gently lifted Ye Huanhuan's cheek, his gaze firm and unwavering:
"It's alright. It just so happens that I personally don't particularly like children. Besides, our Tang family doesn't have a throne to inherit, nor do we need to continue the family line. Whether or not we have children doesn't make much of a difference to me."
Ye Huanhuan bit her lip lightly, her eyes filled with deep confusion: "I really don't understand... why do you like me?"
Tang Yi smiled and said softly, "I don't understand either. Maybe it's because of that night... my heart was already stolen by you, you little devil."
In an instant, Ye Huanhuan was in turmoil. She stared into Tang Yi's deep and captivating eyes, as if her soul was about to be drawn into them.
The distance between them gradually closed, their breaths gently brushing against each other's cheeks, the air filled with a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere, as fiery as a flame about to be ignited.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a waiter suddenly walked into the private room with a plate, instantly shattering the intoxicatingly ambiguous atmosphere.
Ye Huanhuan panicked, as if she had been electrocuted. Her body involuntarily shrank back, and she quickly picked up the water glass in front of her, trying to hide her embarrassment and shyness.
A slight sense of disappointment swept through Tang Yi as he failed to kiss her, but he quickly regained his composure and remained calm.
However, the waitress was so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground. She was only responsible for serving the food, and she never expected to witness such a scene.
If it were an inexperienced novice, they would probably have dropped the plate they were holding in fright.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle, and all three fell into a brief silence.
After silently completing the task of serving the dishes, the waiter hurriedly left.
Tang Yi spoke first, breaking the silence.
"Huanhuan, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."
His gaze remained fixed on Ye Huanhuan, his enthusiasm undiminished.
Ye Huanhuan's heart was still pounding, but she tried to calm herself down. "It's okay..."
"I hope I didn't scare you just now," Tang Yi said softly. "But... my feelings for you are serious."
Ye Huanhuan lowered her head slightly, feeling both shy and touched.
"I...I understand."
Tang Yi smiled, knowing full well that Ye Huanhuan needed time to accept him.
But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time.
He changed the subject, saying, "Huanhuan, I have to go back to the capital tonight to handle some official business. I've already had Assistant Zhao draft the project cooperation agreement, and it will be sent to the Ye Group tomorrow. Take care of yourself while I'm gone."
Ye Huanhuan suppressed her shyness, looked up at Tang Yi, and asked:
"So soon? Leaving tonight?"
"Yes, that's right."
Tang Yi nodded, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Is Huanhuan reluctant to part with me?"
No, you're overthinking it.
Ye Huanhuan's face flushed red again, and she lowered her head, fiddling with the water glass in her hand.
Tang Yi chuckled: "Huanhuan, don't worry, I'll be back soon. When I get back to S City, I'll prepare a surprise for you."
"What surprise?" Ye Huanhuan asked, puzzled.
Tang Yi blinked, looking mysterious: "You'll find out when the time comes."
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and said to Ye Huanhuan, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Ye Huanhuan had no choice but to put down her water glass, pick up her chopsticks, and obediently start eating her food.
Xi Yuan truly lives up to its reputation as a renowned state banquet restaurant in S City. Every dish is exquisite and delicious, especially the signature Lion's Head meatballs, which are tender, juicy, and not greasy at all, making Ye Huanhuan want to eat a few more bites.
The two ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the meal, Tang Yi drove Ye Huanhuan back to the entrance of the Ye family villa.
"We're home." Ye Huanhuan unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Do you want me to take you inside?" Tang Yi asked.
Ye Huanhuan quickly shook her head, "No need, thank you for today."
"Huanhuan, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Tang Yi smiled and said, "I'll be going now. Get some rest early tonight. Good night."
As he spoke, he leaned closer to Ye Huanhuan in the passenger seat and gently kissed her forehead.
Ye Huanhuan was startled, feeling the moist and soft touch on her forehead, and her body involuntarily stiffened.
Once Tang Yi had distanced himself, Ye Huanhuan blushed, hurriedly opened the car door, and fled in panic.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to say goodbye to Tang Yi.
"good evening."
Her tone was shy and flustered.
Tang Yi smiled slightly, feeling extremely pleased.
Back home, Ye Huanhuan lay on her bed, thinking about everything that had happened that day, feeling like she was in a dream.
She never imagined that there would be a man who wouldn't care about her past, wouldn't mind that she was divorced, and wouldn't even be able to have children.
Tang Yi's words kept echoing in her ears.
"All I want is you."
Ye Huanhuan's lips unconsciously curled up, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Ye Huanhuan couldn't sleep that night.
With Tang Yi on her mind, Ye Haiming was startled when she arrived at his study with huge dark circles under her eyes.
"Huanhuan, what's wrong with you?" Ye Haiming asked, frowning.
Ye Huanhuan yawned slightly. "It's nothing. I just had a stiff neck last night, so I didn't sleep well."
Ye Haiming shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then praised Ye Huanhuan, "I've received the project cooperation agreement. Huanhuan, you've done a really great job!"
He returned from City A last night, and this morning, the Tang Group sent someone to deliver the project cooperation agreement to his office. Upon receiving this news, Ye Haiming naturally couldn't wait to call Ye Huanhuan to his study, his purpose being to praise her thoroughly.
Ye Huanhuan nodded and gave a faint smile: "I'm glad Dad is satisfied."
"As promised by your father, I will have Secretary Liu transfer the 5% stake to your name immediately. Huanhuan, you've really worked hard this time."
Ye Haiming looked pleased, then seemed to remember something and asked Ye Huanhuan:
"Was it Young Master Tang who brought you home last night?"
