Ye Lingran pursed her lips, "Oh! Well, I bought you sothing out of my own will. You don’t want to accept it?"
"Not really, but I’m quite happy about it. Besides Yun Xi, you’re the first one to give a gift."
Ling Ran remained skeptical about what he said, narrowing her eyes at him, thinking about his past admirers. How could it be possible that he never received gifts from won? Would he believe it himself if he said it?
Seeing the suspicion in her eyes, Yun Qi was almost speechless with laughter and started to explain seriously, "What I an is, many won have indeed given gifts before, but you’re the first one I was willing to accept, and felt happy about. Understand now?"
"I didn’t even say anything, why are you explaining?" Ye Lingran looked elsewhere, mumbling softly.
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow. If he didn’t clarify, she would definitely misunderstand, so he preferred to do the unnecessary and clarify everything. He didn’t want any misunderstanding to occur.
Feeling his intense gaze, Ye Lingran beca a bit uneasy, coughed lightly twice, and rubbed her belly saying, "Um... I’m feeling a bit hungry, let’s go eat."
"Sure, where do you want to eat?" Yun Qi wasn’t in a hurry to open the bag to see, just placed it beside him and smiled back.
"I’ve made the choice every ti before, it’s your turn to decide this ti!"
"How about Western food?"
"Hm, anything’s fine."
"Then how about the Western restaurant we went to last ti?"
"Alright."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Ye Lingran ordered a steak, a fruit salad, a bowl of Russian soup, and added a tiramisu for dessert. Yun Qi ordered pan-fried foie gras with red wine, Italian lasagna, and honey-glazed salmon.
After the waiter served the dishes, Ye Lingran wondered if she had ordered a bit too much, but didn’t ntion it. Perhaps because she didn’t eat enough at the sanatorium that afternoon, she was really a bit hungry now. Yun Qi even helped her cut the steak. Although the table was full of food, they managed to finish it, and only then did Ye Lingran feel adequately full.
"Done eating?" Yun Qi looked at her satisfied expression and asked with a smile.
Ye Lingran nodded, putting down her dessert spoon, "Mm, I’m done."
Seeing a bit of cake still at the corner of her mouth, Yun Qi’s smile deepened in his eyes, he leaned forward slightly, reached out, "Don’t move," he said, his finger lightly brushing over her mouth corner, removing the cake, and showed her, "Planning to save this bit for later?"
Ye Lingran was speechless, feeling slightly embarrassed, she quickly picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth corner, nodded with a bashful smile, "Than... thank you."
When the waiter brought over the bill, Yun Qi handed out his card first to the waiter.
After the two ca out from the restaurant, Ye Lingran looked at the street’s night scene, her mouth corners raised slightly, and Yun Qi spoke from beside, "Tomorrow, our company will discuss collaboration with Lu Group, so I might not have ti. If you have any issue, you can call directly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingran turned to look at him and nodded with a smile, "Mm, Cen Jin’s bridesmaid dress is almost at the last stage, need to leave ti for adjustnts."
"Should I drive you back now, or do you want to stroll sowhere else?"
"Let’s go back! You’ve been taking care of all day today."
Yun Qi chuckled lightly, saying nothing more, the two of them got into the car, and Yun Qi drove to send her back to Yunluo District, after arriving Ye Lingran took out everything from the back seat, "Well then... I’ll head up for now, thank you for today."
"Mm, go up! No matter how busy, don’t sleep too late, alright?"
"Mm, got it." Ye Lingran smiled gently, waved her hand at him, then walked into the district carrying her things.
After she went inside, Yun Qi returned to his own ho, upon returning to the walk-in closet, he took out the gift she bought, placed them separately on the glass counter. Looking at the two sets of ties and cufflinks, he couldn’t help but smile, a hint of aningful amusent flashed in his eyes.
On the next day, when Yun Qi went to the company, Shao Min noticed his tie and cufflinks were different from his usual style, although Yun Qi liked wearing dark-colored clothes and accessories, the tie, cufflinks, and watches he wore were many, but there were only a few he truly liked, as they were seen often and rembered.
But today’s two items were ones she’d never seen before, and the cufflink’s style was sowhat different from his usual ones, he generally used button-type cufflinks more.
"President Yun seems to be in a good mood today." Shao Min asked with a smile as they entered the elevator.
Yun Qi glanced at her with a smile, "When was my mood ever bad?"
"Not really..."
"Are the docunts and files related to the negotiation with Lu Group prepared?" Before Shao Min could explain, Yun Qi interrupted her, glancing at Chai Jie beside him.
"Already prepared." Chai Jie glanced at Shao Min and replied respectfully.
"What’s the status of Yun Xi? When does he return?"
"According to Secretary Jiang, Director Yun’s flight back is at three this afternoon, matters over there have been resolved, and the sample garnts for this quarter will be produced at the latest by tomorrow. The more complicated procedure after, Director Yun will personally oversee."
"Also, UM’s representative contacted us requesting a eting with you, but considering Lu Group has already engaged in this matter, if we directly contact them, Lu Group might have reasons to speak out, which could affect our cooperation for the new quarter. So I politely refused." As Chai Jie finished speaking, Shao Min returned to a serious manner, continuing to report work.
"Mm, well done." Yun Qi responded softly, at this mont the elevator reached the executive floor, he stepped out.
Unexpectedly praised, Shao Min happily raised her eyebrows, covered her lips with a smile, and signaled to Chai Jie, who helplessly shook his head and followed Yun Qi out of the elevator.
Back in the office, Yun Qi took the docunts handed over by Shao Min and read them seriously, signing his na swiftly on the last page.
"It’s almost ti, let the preparations begin downstairs." After going through several docunts, Yun Qi capped the pen and looked towards Shao Min.
"Yes."
At nine o’clock sharp, Yun Qi took Shao Min, Chai Jie, and two other secretaries to Lu Group. Prior to this, he hadn’t had much interaction with Lu Jingang, though he had seen him twice and exchanged nods briefly, with no more than that. Lu Jingang, as the head of Lu Group, has a cold personality, in the industry, many say he is quite heartless, and very unyielding. Compared to Yun Qi’s personality, it’s quite a contrast, but due to his handso appearance and wealthy background, he has beco the ideal bachelor for many socialites.
When Yun Qi saw him, he maintained his usual aloofness, his elegant visage displayed no expressions, after briefly nodding in acknowledgent, Yun Qi noticed a graceful, indifferent figure standing beside him. Though he hadn’t truly t her, he had seen her in reports and news; she was Mu Group heiress Mu Lezhu, recently engaged to Lu Jingang.
