After they returned home, Ye Nanning asked her if she wanted to drink some hangover soup.
Du Xiran couldn't refuse the hangover soup she cooked, and also wanted to stay with her for a while, so he agreed.
Ye Nanning was busy in the kitchen. Du Xiran sat at the kitchen counter, propping his head up to watch her every move. He asked casually, "What did you talk about with Mingshuang today?"
Ye Nanning stammered: "Nothing."
"Nothing? My...colleagues said they saw you two chatting all night long, and you seemed to be having such a great time." Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning blinked, turned her head and looked at her for a long time, wanting to say something but stopped herself, but Du Xiran patted her hand.
"Be careful of getting burned."
Ye Nanning took her hand off the pot lid and asked hesitantly, "If...if I tell others about our relationship, will you be angry?"
Du Xiran took two seconds to react: "You told her everything?"
Ye Nanning nodded.
"You trust her quite a lot." Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning heard a hint of jealousy in her words and asked incredulously: "Boss Du, are you...jealous?"
"No." Du Xiran quickly denied it and looked away, "I'm just worried that you were deceived by her. What if someone makes a fuss about this?"
"She won't." Ye Nanning said.
Hearing her decisive tone, Du Xiran felt angry for no reason: "You really trust her."
"Because it's nothing to her, and she doesn't like me anymore."
"How do you know she doesn't like it?"
"She said so herself."
"Can you take what you say seriously? I was clearly asking you out a few days ago, but now I just casually say I don't like you. Does that mean I really don't like you? Is this just an excuse to keep getting closer to you?"
Ye Nanning was confused by this series of questions. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "She shouldn't be that kind of person. She will say it clearly whether she likes it or not."
Seeing that she always protected Mingshuang, Du Xiran was so angry that he left the kitchen directly, sat on the sofa, picked up the pillow with an unexpected look on his face, and his eyes were so angry that he almost spit fire.
At this time, Ye Nanning squatted in front of her and looked at her innocently: "Boss Du, are you angry?"
Du Xiran rubbed his solar plexus: "Maybe it's because of the drinking, I'm a little emotional, just let me calm down for a while."
Ye Nanning quickly got up, sat next to her, and pressed her temples with both hands, gently and softly.
Du Xiran's brows gradually relaxed, and he fell down comfortably, resting his head on her legs.
"Actually, the reason I told Mingshuang about this is because she was the first person to wish me well." Ye Nanning said in a low voice.
Du Xiran opened his eyes and looked at her.
"She said we were a good match." Ye Nanning blushed as she spoke, and quickly skipped over this kind of talk. "She also said you were beautiful and praised me for having good taste."
"Really? She really said that?" Princess Du became excited. "She said I was beautiful?"
"Yeah." Ye Nanning nodded and looked down at her. Her figure was reflected in his pupils. He couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and slide them from her eyebrows to her nose bridge. He whispered, "It's hard for me to believe that such a beautiful you is actually mine?"
Du Xiran curved his eyebrows, grabbed her finger, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Ye Nanning trembled slightly.
"Do you believe it now?" Du Xiran asked with a smile.
"I believe it." Ye Nanning was so aroused by her simple action that her blood began to flow faster. In this situation, it was hard not to have wild thoughts.
She swallowed, lowered her head a little, almost touching her nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Du..."
"Um?"
Du Xiran looked up at her, her eyelashes were thick and curled, like the wings of a butterfly flapping about to fly, tempting her to look into those clear and beautiful eyes, which reflected her own image.
Ye Nanning felt as if her heart was being gently gripped, unable to exert any strength, and she tried to struggle out, but she couldn't breathe normally anyway. Her breath became heavier, and even Du Xiran noticed it.
Du Xiran looked at her blankly, blinked a few times, then lowered his eyes slightly, staring at her lips, wondering what she would do next.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and the atmosphere became more and more charming. Ye Nanning mustered up the courage and was about to pick her lips when he heard a tumbling sound. He immediately looked towards the kitchen. The water in the pot had boiled and began to splash out to the edge.
Worried that something might happen in the kitchen, she immediately ran to the kitchen, turned down the fire, and started making sobering soup.
Not long after, she brought a bowl of soup to the coffee table and blew on it: "Boss Du, try it."
Du Xiran sat up, took a few sips, and gave it a five-star rating as always.
After drinking the soup, Du Xiran didn’t stay too long because he had to go to work the next day. After he felt his mind was completely clear, he got up and prepared to go home.
Ye Nanning walked her out of the house and then to the door opposite. She suddenly asked, "By the way, President Du, what did you talk about with your colleagues tonight?"
"Which colleague are you talking about?" Du Xiran asked puzzledly.
"It's the male colleague who kept pouring wine for you and went out with you." Ye Nanning said.
"Oh, him, there was nothing to talk about." Du Xiran said.
Ye Nanning looked at her quietly.
Du Xiran: "We really didn't talk about anything. He just poured me some wine and then went out with me."
Ye Nanning stammered, "So many by the way..."
Du Xiran was speechless, and suddenly understood how Ye Nanning felt when she questioned him just now, and said with a smile: "You did it on purpose."
Ye Nanning grinned: "Yes, do you believe me now?"
"I believe it, I do." Du Xiran reached out and touched her head. "Good night, see you tomorrow?"
"Good night." Ye Nanning rubbed her palm comfortably.
"Bye, let's go back." Du Xiran smiled, put down his hand and stood at the door.
"I'll go back after you go in." Ye Nanning said.
Du Xiran stood behind the door, leaving only a crack, and said, "Okay, I'm coming in, you go back, I'll watch you go back."
"No, I won't go in until you close the door."
"You go back first."
"Hey, are you two going in or not?" An auntie passed by dragging two trash cans, "Please make way."
Ye Nanning smiled awkwardly and retreated to her door. After her aunt passed by, they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After Du Xiran closed the door, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed - Du Xiran, ah Du Xiran, it's so childish to fall in love!
The next day, the two sat at home eating breakfast. Du Xiran looked at the heart-shaped fried egg on the noodles and thought that Ye Nanning was not mature enough, so he ate the egg with a smile.
Ye Nanning reminded her quietly: "Boss Du, that... do you know what day it is today?"
"I know." Du Xiran blurted out, "It's the day when we sign the contract with the client."
Ye Nanning: "...Yes."
Du Xiran: "Or Wednesday?"
“…That’s right.”
Seeing her hesitant and conflicted look, Du Xiran laughed: "Okay, of course I know today is Valentine's Day."
Ye Nanning looked up at her, smiled, and immediately took out a box from her pocket: "This is for you, a Valentine's Day gift."
Du Xiran opened it and saw that it was a pair of earrings in the shape of leaves, from the same brand as the necklace.
"Do you like it?" Ye Nanning looked at her expectantly.
Du Xiran smoothed her hair back, took out the earrings and put them on her ears, then turned her head and asked, "Does it look good?"
"nice!"
"Thank you, I like it very much." Du Xiran said with a smile, "Would you like to go to the movies tonight?"
"OK."
Du Xiran wore the earrings directly to the company. After seeing it, some sharp-eyed people praised her for her beauty.
Ming Shuang also noticed her earrings. In the tea room, she said meaningfully, "Boss Du, these earrings are really beautiful. You must take good care of them. Don't lose them one day, or it will be hard to find them again."
Du Xiran smiled and said, "Of course, things that belong to me will not be lost casually, let alone let others pick them up."
Ming Shuang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Mr. Du is afraid of being picked up?"
"Yeah, maybe some people just like to stare at other people's things and find opportunities to take them away." Du Xiran retorted.
The two of them exchanged some sarcastic remarks and then returned to their seats.
Half a minute later, Ye Nanning received a new message from Mingshuang.
Ming Shuang: [It’s confirmed, your boss Du is a jealous person. ]
Ye Nanning stared at the four words "your President Du" for a long time and smiled quietly.
At this time, she received another message from Du Xiran.
Du Xiran: [Are you sure Mingshuang doesn't like you anymore? ]
Du Xiran: [Damn it, why do I feel like she's still daydreaming? Even if she says I'm pretty, I won't forgive her easily. ]
Ye Nanning couldn't hold back any longer and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing silently.
Ah, my Mr. Du is such a jealous person(*^▽^*)
Mingshuang sent another message: [You gave me the earrings, didn't you? Did Mr. Du give you anything? Gossip face.jpg]
Ye Nanning replied: [Not yet, but she doesn’t need to be given to me, she is my best gift! ]
Mingshuang: [Pooh.]
Ye Nanning glanced at the office with a smile, and seeing Du Xiran start to work seriously, she also put down her phone and got into work mode.
The company was quite lively in the afternoon. Many female colleagues received flowers and gifts, and there was a burst of gossip.
Ye Nanning was working when she suddenly heard someone shout, "Ms. Ye Nanning, there is a package for you, please sign for it."
There was a burst of screams in the office, and some people immediately stood up from their seats to watch the fun.
Ye Nanning subconsciously glanced towards the office and happened to see Du Xiran standing inside the door. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he raised his chin towards her, motioning her to pick up the express delivery.
The express delivery order had been placed several days ago, but because it required the person in person to sign for it, the address had to be changed to the company. This also helped to prevent Ye Nanning from feeling disappointed if she was left out since other girls already had gifts.
When Ye Nanning thought that it was a gift from Du Xiran, even the group of people around her who were watching the fun didn't think it was a big deal. She walked over happily to sign for the express delivery. However, when she took it, her hand dropped down.
A bit heavy!
She readjusted her center of gravity and returned to her seat holding the express delivery.
Xu Huan and others immediately squeezed into her seat, and Hu Jiaxu and Ming Shuang also ran over from the other end to watch.
"Who gave it to you? Is it the person you like?!" Hu Jiaxu asked happily.
Mingshuang: "Look what it is?"
Xu Huan: "What are you talking about? Xiao Ye has someone he likes?!"
Chen Shuimin: "Who cares? Open the courier! What's the surprise?"
Lao Wang: "That's right, there must be a lot of people who like Xiaoye, let's see what gifts we will receive!"
"That makes sense. I'll go call the boss to come and take a look." After Xu Huan finished speaking, he ran to the office and pulled Du Xiran out.
Du Xiran had an expression that said "I know nothing" and said, "What's the point of joining in the fun? Isn't it normal for Xiaoye to receive a gift?"
Ye Nanning asked nervously: "Do we really want to tear it down now?"
Everyone said to tear it down, but Du Xiran said, "It's up to you."
Ye Nanning couldn't resist so many expectant eyes, and she herself was also very curious, so she couldn't wait to open the package. She found that it was well wrapped. After carefully unwrapping it for a long time, she finally opened the rolled cloth bag.
There were a few ding-dong sounds and crisp collisions.
A group of people stared in amazement at what was stuck in the cloth bag - a complete set of knives!
Everyone: “…?”
It's an extraordinary Valentine's Day gift.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, everyone returned to their seats with a dull look, and some even looked at Ye Nanning with comforting eyes.
"Hey, what's with your expressions? Do you think this gift is bad?" Du Xiran asked the team members.
Xu Huan scratched his head, Chen Shuimin drank some water, and Lao Wang coughed.
"I think it's great. Doesn't Ye Nanning know how to cook? This thing is very practical." Du Xiran said.
This was a gift she carefully selected. It was both what she liked and had practical value. Most importantly, it was durable. This way, every time Ye Nanning used a knife in the kitchen, she would think of her...
Wait, why does it seem a bit weird when I think about it?
"I like it very much." Ye Nanning said suddenly.
The others looked at her in surprise, and Du Xiran asked uncertainly, "Really?"
"Yeah! I just wanted to change my knife." Ye Nanning took out a knife and looked at it. "The edge is very sharp and the weight is just right. It's a good knife to use in hand."
Everyone: “…” Why does it sound so creepy?
"As long as you like it." Du Xiran smiled and said proudly, "This is purely handmade."
Ye Nanning took another closer look and saw the word "Ye" engraved on the side of the handle. She couldn't help but smile: "I like it very much."
Du Xiran was even more proud, boasting in front of the dumbfounded team members: "See, I think it's pretty good. This person must know how to give gifts very well."
Everyone: “…”
