Finally, a bottle of red wine was also ordered.
In the end, he closed the nu, and said blandly, "That’s all."
The waiter nodded, "Okay, please wait a mont."
Nan Wan, bored, counted the few stars in the night sky, "Why didn’t you ask what I want to eat?"
Mu Jin Huan leaned back against his chair, gazing at the woman’s face with a half-smile, not directly answering her question.
Instead, he said, "If you don’t like it, we can order again."
After the appetizers and soup, Nan Wan understood what the man ant earlier.
It was exactly the sa as what she ordered before, yet he said he didn’t hold grudges...
With her elbow resting on the table, her palm supporting her cheek, her fair fingers holding the soup spoon, she stirred nonchalantly, "Why do you keep hanging around when I’m so heartless?"
As if very curious.
Mu Jin Huan put down the porcelain spoon and wiped his mouth with a napkin, his movents elegant and noble.
Raising his eyes to look at her, in the warm yellow light, his distinct features appeared softer.
Their gazes t, his lips curled into an enticing smile, "Maybe I’m just bewitched."
Nan Wan thought, there couldn’t be a more heart-stirring answer than this.
[Mr. Mu, thank you... for not letting go.]
Soone had already started arranging the restaurant, the seat with the best view was surrounded by red roses.
The restaurant had no ceiling but was covered by a semi-spherical glass, so only a night light at each table prevented them from losing sight of each other.
The atmosphere created was romantic.
In the subtly illuminated ambience, pink helium balloons were tethered with transparent strings, floating mid-air, creating the illusion that they would all float away into the endless night sky at any mont.
On that table, pink candles burned patiently, waiting for the protagonists to arrive.
As if her girlish heart was touched by the scene, Nan Wan propped her chin in her hand, with a look of slight regret, "It seems you’ve never proposed to ."
The air was filled with the rich aroma of red wine, Mu Jin Huan’s slender fingers cradled the stem glass, leisurely swirling the dark red liquid inside.
His deep eyes locked onto the woman’s gentle and beautiful face, he slowly spoke, "How could I not have proposed?"
Nan Wan was a bit puzzled, "When?"
She didn’t rember it...
The woman seed to have no impression at all, so Mu Jin Huan gave her a hint, "The night you cooked for for the second ti."
The second ti she cooked for him...
Recalling a distant day, Nan Wan supported her chin as she pondered for a while, finally catching so faint clues in her mory.
She had promised to give a toy bear to a little kid who was leaving the hospital after recovering, and at the mall, she ran into Mr. Mu accompanying Yu Qinglu for shopping. The latter shalessly followed her, insisting that she repay a debt.
After repaying the debt, he leaned back in the chair, his gaze burning and enticing.
Saying to her: Why not marry ?
Nan Wan’s beautiful brows furrowed, "You call that a proposal?"
No flowers, no ring, not even a knee proposal, just a casual flirtatious line — how could that be considered a proposal?
As if seeing through the woman’s thoughts, Mu Jin Huan smiled, his voice deep and llow, "With the right ti and place, why wouldn’t it count?"
Nan Wan, "..."
What he said made sense, she couldn’t find a word to refute.

Before entering the elevator, Xiao Ran stopped, placing his palm on the little woman’s shoulder, gently turning her body ninety degrees so they stood face to face.
Xu Moyi was engrossed in a ga, not paying attention, casually asked, "What’s up?"
The elevator arrived, and as people inside exited, those waiting outside started to board. Xu Moyi was about to follow when Xiao Ran pulled her wrist, keeping her in place.
"Mo Yi, would you close your eyes for a mont, just for a little while?"
Xu Moyi had been absorbed in mobile gas recently, sotis coming ho from work exhausted yet wanting to play another round before showering and sleeping.
Unfortunately, her skills weren’t good, often getting defeated quickly.
Like now, just barely five minutes into the ga, and she ’died’.
Feeling a bit frustrated, she exited the ga interface and looked up at Xiao Ran, "Why should I close my eyes? Is there a surprise?"
Xiao Ran smiled, not giving her a direct answer, but neither denying it, "You’ll see once you’re up there."
Upon hearing this, Xu Moyi’s eyes shone with a sparkling light, "But I can’t see, how do I walk?"
High heels, a beautiful burden.
She pouted, wiggling her legs and scraping the carpet with her heels, which in Xiao Ran’s eyes made her resemble a newborn kitten.
It made him want to stroke her ’fur’.
