Seriously? Going to such lengths just to pick her up for dinner? That's way too much of a cost!
Yan Yinran was dumbfounded. She had never seen so much money before, but Leng Mingye's words had moved her.
"Well... okay."
That makes sense, since she herself said she wanted to see his sincerity. A regular car only costs a few hundred thousand, and she could just give him the money later.
No, no, she's here to make money, how could she lose hundreds of thousands of yuan...
She had a lot of money, mostly from various red envelopes she had saved over the years, but it was mostly from the Yan family, so she felt embarrassed to spend it lavishly.
"Maybe we shouldn't buy a car. We can eat at the food court instead of going to restaurants outside. Besides, eating out costs a lot of money, which is too much of a waste."
She finally spoke her mind: a meal at such an upscale restaurant costs five figures, and she's not his girlfriend, so why should she take it for granted that he spends money on her?
"I can go with you to eat at the food court, anywhere is fine, as long as I can see you."
Leng Mingye felt a warmth in his heart. Was this girl trying to save him money?
She's a bit too virtuous, but he wants her to spend his money anyway, and it will all be hers in the future.
"Uh-huh."
Yan Yinran felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she turned her head to look at the night view outside the window. At this time, the colorful lights outside had already been turned on.
For the first time, she felt that having dinner with a boy on the rooftop and looking at the night view outside was such a romantic thing.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, which caught Leng Mingye's eye.
She was so beautiful that he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Especially under the soft light, with some shadows on her face, she looked very gentle.
"Looks like you're in a good mood."
Leng Mingye couldn't resist trying to find topics to talk about with her, even though what he said was very boring.
"Yes, it's not bad."
Yan Yinran nodded slightly, turned to look at him, and the light shone on him, making him appear gentle.
After Yan Yinran finished answering, Leng Mingye was completely at a loss for words. What should he say next?
Leng Mingye glanced at Yan Yinran out of the corner of his eye.
"Does Mr. Leng like to stare at girls when he's with them?"
Yan Yinran could naturally feel his burning gaze. It was one thing to look, but to... grin like an idiot?
It sounds like a joke, but it always gives off a feeling of secret jealousy.
"Hmm? You're wrong about that. Aside from work, this is the first time I've been alone with a girl in my personal life. And it was only because of you that I was staring at her. I don't know if you're satisfied with this answer?"
Leng Mingye was telling the truth; Yan Xiluo was the only girl he ever worked with who he could discuss collaborations with privately.
He happened to be without his assistant that day.
But in her daily life, besides Yan Yinran, there really is no one else.
"Why answer so seriously? I was just kidding."
Yan Yinran accidentally met his eyes, felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly looked away.
"I'm serious about you, so of course I'll answer your questions properly."
Seeing her flustered expression, Leng Mingye found it truly amusing.
I quickly took a sip of lemonade to suppress my laughter and tried my best to cover it up.
"You still say you're serious! Then what are you laughing at?"
Yan Yinran initially had some goodwill towards him, but seeing him smile? He smiled right after saying something so serious?
"You're cute, that makes me happy and I smile."
Leng Mingye put down his water glass and swallowed the lemonade in his mouth.
"..."
Yan Yinran remained silent, shielding her eyes with her hand as she continued to look out the window.
The process of serving the food felt incredibly long to her. Her relationship with Leng Mingye was awkward; they were in a state of ambiguity...
It was too ambiguous, so she felt uncomfortable.
But wasn't she the one who didn't accept his confession? She'll just have to put up with it for now.
Finally, all the dishes were served, and the two ate the dishes they had ordered. Leng Mingye usually ate spicy food, but now even the touch of it hurt his tongue.
I was eating the non-spicy food with great difficulty.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yan Yinran choked on a chili seed, which made her cough violently from the spiciness.
"Drink some water quickly."
Leng Mingye stood up and handed her the lemonade, then sat down next to her and gently patted her back.
"Thanks."
This dish isn't too spicy, but the chili seeds can be quite potent if they get stuck in your throat.
The spiciness made her face turn red and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Can't handle spicy food?"
Leng Mingye asked anxiously, noticing that she was sweating profusely.
Yan Yinran shook her head. It wasn't that she couldn't eat spicy food, it was just that it was too uncomfortable to swallow it.
Yan Yinran suddenly looked up and met someone's slightly anxious eyes.
Looking at her so closely, Leng Mingye swallowed rapidly, almost unable to resist kissing her.
Yan Yinran felt her heart suddenly clench, and there was that huge face so close to hers...
So handsome! His pores are even finer than a girl's. She noticed for the first time how long his eyelashes were, even longer than hers.
His skin was very fair, but not in a pretty-boy way. Oh my god, she couldn't take it anymore; she was about to fall for him...
"Mr. Leng, what skincare products do you usually use? Wait, where do you usually go for your projects?"
Yan Yinran asked blankly.
The amazing skincare products Yan Xiluo gave her were very effective and she was curious about how boys took care of their skin.
Do they all work on projects like her big-name brother?
"ah?"
Leng Mingye was at a loss, staring at her blankly.
"Mr. Leng wouldn't be thinking of secretly becoming more beautiful, would she?"
When Yan Yinran said this, not only was Leng Mingye dumbfounded, but even she herself was stunned.
“I don’t use those things, and I don’t do any projects.”
Leng Mingye felt ashamed; at most, he only used facial cleanser.
"I don't believe it! Look at this skin, it's so soft you could squeeze water out of it!"
Yan Yinran did exactly what she was thinking, directly pinching Leng Mingye's face.
"Ranran, are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Leng Mingye paused for half a second, then a handsome smile appeared on his lips.
She made the first move on him! And even praised him?
It seems that from today onwards, he will have to try all the skincare products and projects she mentioned.
She loves her face so much, he has to keep it looking good!
"..."
One sentence left Yan Yinran speechless. Could this be considered taking advantage of him?
What did it mean when he kissed her? Was he being a pervert?
"Ranran, do you have any skincare products or treatments you would recommend? I'll take good care of myself so that it will be easier for you to pinch me in the future, and the feel of my skin will be better."
Leng Mingye continued to ask shamelessly, not at all afraid that Yan Yinran might beat him up.
"ah?"
This time, Yan Yinran looked completely bewildered. Had she heard correctly?
How could Leng Mingye say something like that?
What do you mean by making it easier for her to pinch him in the future?
"Okay, eat up."
Leng Mingye avoided her gaze, pretending nothing was wrong. He didn't return to his seat but stayed by her side.
They barely spoke during the meal, eating quietly.
Yan Yinran felt a little uncomfortable with him around, and she became much more ladylike when picking up food.
