Chapter 449: The Old Man Is Still as Beautiful as New
"Hmm, hmm, eat, eat, all." Han Wenya smiled and ate the shrimps in her bowl.
After dinner, since there was no night scene tonight, Zou Lianxun suggested that everyone go for a walk along the river:
"It's so late at night, it's so nice to go for a walk by the river. The weather is nice today, so I can enjoy the natural breeze. Recently, the superiors came to inspect, and the riverside has been lit up. It will be a good time to go and have a look."
"I always thought that people like you would go out for a ride in a sports car. I didn't expect you would go to the riverside to stroll and enjoy the breeze." Han Wenya looked at Zou Lianxun in surprise.
Zou Lianxun: “…”
He said with a serious face: "After all, I am a man who will have to live a normal life and take care of children in the future. I have to make myself develop a habit now and set a good example. Driving a sports car for a ride is something that young people do. I am not a teenager, so of course I can't do that. Besides, I am not the kind of person who wanders around all day."
Han Wenya: “…”
It's as if the person who was driving around in a luxury car and appeared on a lot of hot searches was not him.
The only good thing is that he is usually the only one in the luxury car, or his agent, and he doesn't carry beautiful women like other rich young men.
"Then go for a walk, and ask someone to take Linlang and Xiaochen back later." Shi Feiye tugged at Qin Buju's sleeve, then gave a wink, and Qin Buju agreed.
"What's wrong with Linlang? Linlang is very well behaved." Qin Linlang, who was having fun there, heard her mother mention her and asked anxiously.
The little head was tilted, looking adorable, and the smiling face was chubby and pink, which made Master Feiye laugh:
"Nothing, we said Linlang is very well behaved, so we'll go back to accompany grandpa and grandma first, and daddy and mommy will come back later to play with you guys, okay?"
"Okay, let's accompany grandpa and grandma." Linlang said in a baby voice, and Xiaochen beside her also nodded to show that he agreed.
Dad and Mom Lin have been helping to take care of the children. The children are very close to them and have been taught reasonable things since they were young. Dad and Mom are very busy and sometimes need to go out to work so that they can buy snacks and toys for the children. The two little ones don't mind being taken care of by their grandparents alone occasionally.
Yang Xi wanted to go back by himself, but was stopped by Shi Feiye:
"It's a rare opportunity to relax today. We're not going to any entertainment venues. Let's go and have a rest. A walk by the river is very relaxing. Let's go."
"Yeah, if you keep working overtime, it'll make me feel like our company is exploiting you. Let's go for a walk together."
Lin Qiong gave Yang Xi a reason that he couldn't refuse, and Yang Xi really couldn't bring himself to go back first:
"Okay, let's go for a walk together and relax. I haven't had a rest for a long time."
Zou Lianxun, who had not drunk any alcohol, drove everyone to the riverside, parked the car, and everyone strolled along the river together.
Originally, the girls were walking together and the men were walking together, but the men in front didn't talk much, and only the women behind were chattering.
Later, Han Wenya and Shi Feiye exchanged glances and each found an excuse to go find their own men, deliberately leaving Yang Xi behind.
After a while, the team became Han Wenya and Zou Lianxun walking in the front, Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu walking side by side in the middle, and Yang Xi and Lin Qiong walking at the end.
Moreover, everyone was keeping a distance from each other, so even if Yang Xi wanted to catch up and talk to the person in front of her, she couldn't. If she deliberately chased after him at a distance of more than 20 meters, people would only think of her as a light bulb.
So, the only person chatting was Lin Qiong.
Yang Xi thought Lin Qiong was not talkative, and she didn't know why she had this impression. But she found out that she was wrong. Lin Qiong was not really a particularly taciturn person.
“Do you go out to collect inspiration when you design?”
Yang Xi looked at the endless stream of brilliant lights along the river bank and shook his head:
"Although many designers say they travel around to gather inspiration, most people can't do that. I have a lot of things to do and don't have the time to travel, so when I lack inspiration, I just watch various videos, and sometimes I'm not limited to the scenery."
When it comes to design, Yang Xi feels more comfortable. She instinctively feels safe in a field that she is familiar with:
“Of course, most designs don’t require any inspiration. The client will put forward their own requirements, and there is not much room for designers to play. Occasionally adding or subtracting is enough, which is far from the point where inspiration is needed.”
Lin Qiong thought for a moment: "So, the uniforms in our company are actually similar?"
"Well, to be honest, I don't need any inspiration. As long as I gather everyone's opinions and take everything into consideration, it will be almost complete. I just need to add a few details."
Lin Qiong tilted his head and looked at Yang Xi openly. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You are really honest."
Yang Xi smiled and shrugged: "I can't help it. Brother Lin, you've been nice to me, and I can't lie to you. I'm afraid if I tell you that designing is difficult, you'll charge me more money."
"But now I am worried that you are deliberately speaking so lightly for Aye's sake, for fear that I will give you more money."
Yang Xi was stunned and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, everything I said is true."
Lin Qiong laughed again: "I'm just kidding, but if you don't have enough funds, just tell me."
Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, I have enough funds at the moment, enough for me to do it."
There was silence between the two of them for a while. After thinking it over, Lin Qiong decided to get straight to the point. He turned his head and stared at Yang Xi, making Yang Xi subconsciously want to dodge. Then he slowly said:
"What do you think of me?"
"Hmm?" Yang Xi thought Lin Qiong was going to say something, but ended up asking this question. But if you want to describe what Lin Qiong is like, it's hard to say. He is simply full of advantages:
"Of course you are outstanding. There aren't many people as young as you who have achieved so much. What's more, Brother Lin, you have been doing charity work and helping many industries. At the same time, you have kept yourself clean and have no black spots. Both your social and personal achievements are very high."
Thinking of the situation Qin Buzhu had encountered before, Yang Xi suppressed his laughter and added:
"Well, you are the dream lover of countless women. It's a pity that you don't appear on TV very often, otherwise you would definitely become the national husband like Mr. Qin."
"Then..." This was the first time in Lin Qiong's life that he confessed to a woman. Even though he had done a lot of psychological preparation before, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment. He thought he would ask the question very calmly, but he became stumbling:
"If I tell you that I like you, would you consider being my girlfriend? The kind with the premise of marriage?"
This thunder was so great that Yang Xi, who thought nothing could shock her anymore, could not help but be stunned:
"You, what did you say?"
After saying it for the first time, the rest seemed to be easier. Lin Qiong coughed lightly and put on a serious expression as if he was facing a major event:
"I said, I like you and hope you can be my girlfriend, okay?"
Seeing that Yang Xi was still in a daze and hadn't come to his senses yet and didn't say a word, Lin Qiong racked his brains, trying to figure out what other men's confessions were like. Saying too many nice words would make him seem frivolous and not in line with his character, but girls seemed to like hearing nice words.
Lin Qiong thought for a moment and said dryly:
"Well, I've never chased girls, nor have I had a girlfriend, so I don't have much experience, but I promise that what I say is sincere. I like you, and I had a good impression of you the first time we met. Later, when I learned about you from A Ye, I felt very distressed and had a better impression of you. The more we get to know each other, the more I like you. I hope you can consider me."
This kind of words can be said to anyone. If it is said to a boy who has not seen the world, he is innocent and cute. If it is said to a seasoned man with rich emotional experience, he is a brilliant man. But if it is said to someone like Lin Qiong who has a successful career and a good reputation, it is really true and rare.
Yang Xi didn't believe that Lin Qiong, who had experienced many ups and downs, was not sincere enough to look so stumbling!
"I - but we have only met a few times." Although he believed in the other party, Yang Xi suspected that the other party had been misled by Shi Feiye:
"I'm not as good as I look. There are a lot of bad things in my family. I've only become more sensible in the past two years. Of all the things I have, my only good-looking one is pretty good. But I believe you have no shortage of beauties around you. Brother Lin, are you mistaken? How could you like me?"
If a pie fell from the sky, in the past Yang Xi would have grabbed it without a second thought, but now she has understood everything about life, how could she do such a stupid thing? She might not only not be able to eat the pie, but also make a hole in her head.
"I don't know why, but I felt you were so special when I first saw you. This is probably what is called fate. The more I got to know you, the more I liked you. Even now, even though we've only known each other for a short time, it feels like we've known each other for a long time."
Lin Qiong became more and more melancholy as he spoke. He himself found it strange, but that was the fact:
"Have you ever heard of the saying 'Old friends are still friends, old friends are still friends'?"
Shi Feiye deliberately slowed down her pace after she noticed that the two people behind her started chatting. She really wanted to know what her brother was talking about with his sweetheart, and ended up listening to the entire conversation between the two people.
Hearing these words come out of his brother's mouth, Shi Feiye was surprised that his brother was actually a cultured person. Why did the person who heard it feel a little moved?
Yang Xi was silent for a few seconds: "Yeah, I've heard of it."
Then she smiled and said, "So, this is love at first sight?"
It was Lin Qiong's turn to be silent. After a few seconds, he nodded: "That's right."
Love at first sight is mostly based on lust.
But this is Lin Qiong. What kind of beauty has he not seen? I have never seen him be attracted to other beauties.
