Xi Junyan gave a reserved "hmm," afraid that if Yi Mu said even one more word, he would reveal how much he missed him and was going crazy.
He didn't give Yimu a chance to respond and hung up the phone.
The secretary brought in tea and saw a fleeting sweet smile on his face. She almost thought she was seeing things. Even the King of Hell smiles?
To accommodate Nishi Junyan's status, Yi Mu specially chose a very stylish and high-class restaurant.
Xi Junyan was dressed very formally, and you could tell he had taken special care to groom himself. It's said that men become more charming as they get older.
As soon as Nishi Junyan appeared in the restaurant, he attracted the attention of all the men and women.
Successful people always have a captivating aura, and Xi Junyan isn't the kind of pretentious person who deliberately puts on airs of elitism.
His nobility emanates from his very being.
From his snow-white shirt collar to his agate cufflinks and gleaming handmade leather shoes, everything about him reveals that he is a successful man with a thriving career and handsome appearance.
Women admire him, and men envy him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, whether intentional or not, Xi Junyan walked towards Yi Mu, who was sitting in an inconspicuous corner.
Compared to Nishi Junyan's formal attire, he was only wearing a light gray cotton-linen shirt.
The color was originally supposed to be rather dull, but because it was worn by Yi Mu, it immediately became much more beautiful.
Nishi Junyan sat down opposite Yi Mu, his face deliberately cold and aloof.
Yi Mu seemed oblivious to his cold attitude and took out the menu for him to order.
Nishi Junyan isn't here tonight just for dinner.
He was certain that if he didn't speak first, Yi Mu could make the meal a way of expressing gratitude between friends, and then end it with a few subtle words.
Nishi Junyan simply couldn't do anything about Yi Mu.
The menu was placed in front of him, but he didn't even glance at it. He just looked at Yi Mu with his deep eyes and said, "I'm giving you a year of freedom so you can understand that I'm not just playing around with you."
Yi Mu's perfectly shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly. He glanced at Xi Junyan and said in a relatively gentle tone, "Let's not talk about this."
Xi Junyan grabbed Yi Mu's hand, preventing him from dodging.
A year is long enough; how long is a person's lifetime?
He gave Yi Mu so much time; he wasn't preparing to break up with her.
Rather, it was to make Yimu understand that he could give up many principles for him.
For example, they have a terrifying, omnipresent desire to control others, always demanding what they want and only satisfying their own whims, never considering the lives of others.
Nishi Junyan was controlling these things little by little, so that one day when Yi Mu accepted him, he could have a perfect lover.
Nishi Junyan took a shallow breath, trying to soften his tone.
"I've held back from seeing you for a year. Isn't that enough for you to understand my feelings?"
Yi Mu picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and a look of helplessness appeared between his brows: "I mean, is this all we have to talk about?"
Xi Junyan stared at him intently: "I want an answer."
My answer remains unchanged.
Xi Junyan's expression suddenly turned dangerous, his lips pressed into a thin line, and he said in a low voice, "You have one more chance to answer me again."
Yi Mu stood up abruptly, his tone icy: "Today's timing isn't right. I'll find a more suitable opportunity to thank you another day."
He said this and left his seat.
Xi Junyan's eyes were gloomy as he reached out and precisely clamped his hand on Yi Mu's arm.
He said coldly, "Since you're unwilling to tell me what I want to hear, then no matter how outrageous I am, you probably won't care."
