They both drove back home. Du Xiran didn't even have time to go back to his own house, so he followed her directly to the house opposite.
"Let me see what good wine you have hidden." Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning took out a bottle of wine from the room: "I was recommended to me by a foreign wine blogger. I bought it but never had the time to taste it."
The two of them divided the work, one opened the bottle and the other took the glass, and they started drinking at the table.
Du Xiran is not a professional wine taster, but the taste is mellow and not astringent, and it is indeed much better than those cheap red wines.
She shook the cup and asked with a smile, "Will it make you drunk?"
"It won't be a problem if I drink less, right?" Ye Nanning wasn't sure. After all, this was her first time buying something. It wasn't a well-known brand, but just a good wine that the blogger found at a local winery in France.
Du Xiran drank a few sips, and Ye Nanning tactfully poured her more wine. She smiled at Ye Nanning's actions and said, "I didn't expect that you have such a handsome brother."
Ye Nanning nodded slightly, and then added some wine to her own glass.
"The two siblings are doing well." Du Xiran said casually.
"No...three siblings."
"Oh? So are you the eldest or the second?"
Ye Nanning made a "yeah" gesture.
"So you have a sister?"
Ye Nanning nodded.
"Is she as beautiful as you?"
Ye Nanning suddenly became alert: "What's wrong?"
"I'm just asking casually, what's with that expression on your face?" Du Xiran said with a smile, "What if I run into your sister someday and make a joke like tonight again? Wouldn't I have to save face then?"
"You won't meet her, she is abroad." Ye Nanning said.
"Is that so..." Du Xiran looked up and saw that she was looking down, as if she was thinking about something, so he asked carefully, "Then the relationship between you two siblings is pretty good, right?"
Ye Nanning's eyelashes trembled, her fingers touched the cup, and then she drank it all: "I don't know."
"you do not know?"
"Well, it's hard to describe the feeling. My family is all good...it's just that I seem to be always wandering around." Ye Nanning lowered her eyes and looked at the empty cup, muttering in a low voice.
Red wine gradually flowed into the cup. She looked up and watched Du Xiran pouring the wine, her heart fluttering.
Du Xiran smiled at her and said, "Maybe it's because you're the second child, and it's hard for you to be valued because you're stuck in the middle."
That's not the case, but she seemed to sense that Du Xiran was trying to find a suitable excuse for her. Ye Nanning subconsciously lay on the table, looking at her face, secretly covering her chest.
"Are you drunk already?" Du Xiran tilted his head and looked at her, his lips curved, "Don't you drink a lot?"
Ye Nanning's face was flushed, but she could use the wine as an excuse, so she still lay on the table, her arm supporting her chin, her eyes shining: "Boss Du, you are so beautiful now."
"That's right." Du Xiran touched her long hair on both sides sexily and said narcissistically, "When have I not been beautiful?"
Ye Nanning smiled: "Yes, you are always beautiful, even when you take a nap you look beautiful."
Du Xiran's face froze. When he thought about sleeping in the office leaning against a chair, what good could it be? The posture was so ugly, and he might even drool. Haha.
"You are the kind of person who always speaks flattering words in a serious manner." Du Xiran retorted to her.
"Isn't that flattery..." Ye Nanning said softly. After drinking, her speaking speed slowed down and her tone softened, as if she was acting like a spoiled child. "You are really very beautiful."
Du Xiran rolled his eyes and asked with a dagger hidden in his smile: "Okay, then let me ask you... Between me and the person you like, who is better looking?"
"You." Ye Nanning said without hesitation.
Du Xiran was stunned and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you even need to think about it?"
"No need." Ye Nanning said, looking into her eyes.
Du Xiran held his chin with one hand, looked at her tipsy state thoughtfully, and smiled helplessly: "With such a sweet mouth, how can you not chase someone. Ye Nanning, don't be so cowardly."
Ye Nanning moved her fingers, her eyes showing some seriousness: "Do you also think I'm a coward?"
"You didn't say much about what happened between you two, so based on the conditions I know, I suspect...are you feeling inferior?" Du Xiran guessed.
Ye Nanning inevitably nodded: "Yes."
"That's not necessary. No matter whether this person likes you or not, you should not feel inferior. It's not that you are not good enough, it's just that she doesn't realize how good you are." Du Xiran suggested, "As the saying goes, cut the Gordian knot. You can confess to her. If she accepts you, then it's the best of both worlds. If unfortunately she is rejected, you can get over it sooner."
"But, she is a straight girl." Ye Nanning said in a depressed tone.
Du Xiran sighed: "So you guessed the ending from the beginning, right?"
Ye Nanning nodded with difficulty.
"Then why do you still like her?" Du Xiran said, without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued, "Since you already like her, then confess your feelings to yourself and give yourself an explanation so that you don't indulge in fantasies too much. If you hold it back like this, nothing will come of it in your lifetime."
Ye Nanning nodded thoughtfully: "I just want to... escape for a while, so that she won't hate me so quickly."
"No, you didn't pester her and cause trouble to her. At most, she just doesn't like you. Why would she hate you?" Du Xiran took a breath and said righteously, "If someone hates you, tell me and I will teach her a lesson for you. You have no vision."
Ye Nanning's eyes curved slightly: "Boss Du, you are so nice."
"I'm not that good either. When I encouraged you, I also had some selfish motives." Du Xiran smiled maliciously, "I hope you can remember this good thing about me and cook more delicious meals for me in the future."
"Anytime is fine. Mr. Du, just tell me what you want to eat and I will definitely make it for you." Ye Nanning agreed.
"Oh my." Du Xiran was quite moved and stretched out his hands, holding her face with both hands, and said with a smile, "Look, you are very good at talking. Just show your momentum and confess your love."
Ye Nanning's cheeks were burning hot, and she dared not move. She looked at the face up close and asked slowly, "If I were to confess my love, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Let me think about it..." Du Xiran sat back, thought for a moment, and waved his hand to give up. "I don't have much experience either. There are quite a few in TV dramas, but they are too fancy."
Ye Nanning: "I don't have any experience either, what should I do?"
Seeing her sighing with worry, Du Xiran racked his brains and said, "How about just say it directly?"
"Would that be too abrupt?"
"That's right. She's a straight woman. She might be too frightened and slap you twice."
Ye Nanning was panic-stricken.
Du Xiran burst out laughing and closed his eyes to think: "Let me think about it carefully..."
"If it were you, what kind of confession would you like?" Ye Nanning suddenly asked.
"Me?" Du Xiran opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Or, what kind of confession would not make you feel abrupt?"
Du Xiran put herself in his shoes and said, "I don't know what kind of confession I like, I just know that I don't like the kind that is confessed in public."
Ye Nanning didn't like this either. It was impossible to go in public. She didn't even want to go.
"The most important thing is to cater to her preferences. You can give her something she likes. When you give her a gift, she may ask why you are giving her a gift suddenly. You can confess your love to her." Du Xiran could only think of such a tacky reason. "Oh, it's best to pick a good day. If she rejects you, you can say it's just a holiday gift."
Ye Nanning: "How about Christmas?"
"Christmas? When is it?" Du Xiran took out his phone and looked at the calendar. "Oh, isn't it next week? You young people really know how to celebrate holidays. I don't even look at days like this."
Ye Nanning smiled, poured her some wine, and raised her glass: "Then Mr. Du, wish me a successful confession."
"I wish you find your beautiful wife."
The cups clinked together with a crisp sound, and the two smiled at each other.
During the next few days, Ye Nanning worked very focused and seriously, as if she could not be disturbed, which made Du Xiran a little confused.
He didn't look like someone who was struggling to confess his love. It was as if the conversation that night had never happened. After waking up, Ye Nanning was just an intern working hard at her job again.
This is too patient, Du Xiran thought.
This Thursday happened to be Christmas, so the Human Resources Department put a Christmas tree in the office to create some atmosphere.
However, for hard-working financial professionals, it is just an ordinary overtime day.
Du Xiran glanced out the window and saw Ye Nanning still working hard at her workstation. She couldn't help wondering why she hadn't taken any action yet. Was she planning to give up?
She had been secretly watching for a day and had not noticed any strange behavior from Ye Nanning. She did not appear nervous or disappointed.
Du Xiran was a little confused.
However, when it was time to get off work, Ye Nanning finally made some movement. She had completed all her work ahead of time in the past few days, but today, when the time came, she turned off her phone and went to punch in without even turning her head back.
Du Xiran stood at the door of the office and couldn't help but lean towards the direction she left.
She shrugged her shoulders and concentrated on working overtime until the figure disappeared from her sight.
However, I would occasionally be distracted and couldn't help wondering: Did Ye Nanning confess her feelings now? What was the result? Would she cry?
The overtime efficiency was not high. Du Xiran spent an hour in the company, finally finished the work, and drove home tiredly.
There was also a small Christmas tree placed by the property management in the corridor. She walked out of the elevator and looked around. When her eyes fell on Ye Nanning's door, she stayed there for a moment, looking a little melancholy.
After returning home, I started ordering takeout.
Just when I was wondering what to eat, I suddenly received a message from Ye Nanning: [Boss Du, are you back? ]
Du Xiran: [I’m back, what’s going on? ]
After a while, the doorbell rang, and she opened the door in confusion: "Why are you still at home? Aren't you going to confess your love...hiss, you are so beautiful now."
Ye Nanning blinked: "Really?"
"Yeah." Du Xiran looked at her carefully made-up face, which looked like an exquisite work of art, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting. Even though they met every day, he still couldn't help being amazed by her. "There is hope, kid, keep going."
Ye Nanning took two steps forward and tugged at her sleeve.
Du Xiran: “?”
"Boss Du, can you help me?"
Du Xiran was at ease: "What are you doing? Tell me."
Ye Nanning said: "I want to invite someone to my home, can you go in and help me take a look?"
"Your house is so clean, what else do you need to look at?" Du Xiran said so, but he had already closed his door and followed her to the other side. "When will she come?"
Ye Nanning put her hand on the door lock, glanced at her sideways, pulled her sleeve, and pulled her in: "Right away."
"Why aren't the lights on?" Du Xiran only felt dim light as she entered the house. She walked to the entrance and saw a dim light on the restaurant side, a table full of dishes and two scented candles.
"Candlelight dinner?" Du Xiran looked at Ye Nanning with a smile.
Ye Nanning's cheeks were slightly hot: "I'm too stupid, this is the only thing I can think of."
"It's good that the thought is sent." Du Xiran smiled and walked to the table. "What if I accidentally ruin the scene you carefully arranged?"
"Then destroy it." Ye Nanning muttered.
Du Xiran glanced at the table, clicked his tongue twice, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are too much. You invited others to dinner, but you still want me to check. Don't you know that I like these dishes the most?"
Ye Nanning: "I know."
"You still want me to come and see you. I'm almost dying of jealousy." Du Xiran was envious. When he thought about the fact that he hadn't found dinner yet, he felt even more sad. "What time did you make the appointment? When will she come?"
Ye Nanning didn't answer.
"Who are you dating? Do you need me to help you check?" After Du Xiran asked, she found that Ye Nanning still didn't answer, but just stared at her. She didn't know if it was an illusion caused by the light, but she always felt that Ye Nanning's eyes were filled with cautious expectations.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she looked down at the delicacies on the table again and her heart skipped a beat.
Will these dishes be...
"You need to check to see if I'm qualified."
Ye Nanning took two slow steps forward, mustered up the courage to look at her, her eyes fluctuating, and the emotions that emanated from her eyes made Du Xiran's heart tremble suddenly.
"Boss Du, you're so smart... Have you guessed who I like?"
