Qi Yan, who wasn't very emotionally intelligent, ended up joining soone in an elevator ride down.
He was still brewing over how to start the conversation.
The air was about to solidify.
Because until they reached the first floor, there were only two people in the elevator.
But neither of them spoke a word.
By the ti the elevator stopped and opened, Lin iya felt like she was about to suffocate.
She didn't understand what Qi Yan wanted to do.
At that mont, she was also feeling upset and didn't really want to know what he was up to.
Although it was her fault for running off that night.
But at that ti, she was truly panicked.
She couldn't deny that her feelings for Qi Yan were different.
Because they got along so well, she rarely encountered a man with whom she clicked so well, not to ntion a man, even with won it was rare.
But she rembered that he had a girlfriend before.
So she never allowed her thoughts to cross any boundaries.
And then, just like that, during a late-night snack, he suddenly told her that his girlfriend wasn't really his girlfriend but a senior classmate.
Then, in the next mont, he confessed.
At that ti, Lin iya was dumbfounded, and by the ti she snapped back to reality, she found herself holding flowers in the elevator of her apartnt complex.
It was just then that Qi Yan's call ca through, and Lin iya was so flustered that she reflexively hung up on him.
Who would have thought that after that, he never contacted her again.
Neither on WeChat nor on her phone.
Lin iya still didn't know whether what he said was true or just blurted out in the mont.
After all, it didn't really count as a formal confession...
Seeing that Lin iya walked out without a word, Qi Yan finally followed her and blurted out, "Lin Lawyer, where are you going? I'll drive you."
Lin iya stopped in her tracks; they had agreed not to call each other "Lin Lawyer" before!
What was he trying to imply?
Qi Yan imdiately wanted to slap himself for his quick mouth because of his nervousness.
But before he could speak again, Lin iya gave him a fake smile, a mixture of politeness and derision, "Thank you, President Qi, but there's no need to trouble you. I've called a car."
With that, she turned to leave.
Qi Yan quickly reached out to hold her back, "No, wait a second!"
Lin iya was stopped by his grip, glancing at his hand on hers, her face expressionless.
Qi Yan grew anxious and wished he had asked Xie Xiao for so tips on what to say.
Now holding her, he had forgotten what he wanted to say.
Lin iya waited a while yet he still hadn't spoken.
She took a deep breath, turned her head about to say sothing but saw his anxious face.
Her heart unexpectedly softened, and she finally let out a sigh, "Qi Yan, what do you really want to say?"
Qi Yan saw that her tone had softened, and he finally managed to speak, albeit with so stamring, "That thing, that day, what I said was serious."
The sheer directness was enough to leave one unable to react montarily.
Lin iya was completely stunned at this mont.
Seeing him anxious and unable to speak just monts earlier had been distressing for her, but she hadn't expected such a direct statent when he did speak.
After he started speaking, Qi Yan felt there was nothing he couldn't say, taking a deep breath, he simply said whatever ca to mind, "What I ant when I said let's try was that I like you, but it seems like you've always misunderstood. Actually, I've explained many tis already..."
As he spoke, suddenly feeling that what he was saying was really a bit of a ss, he let out a discouraged curse, "What am I even saying, anyway, the point is I've always been single, I like you, could you give a chance? Pursuing you is okay, dating would be even better."
Having finished speaking, he just looked straight at Lin iya.
Lin iya's face was a bit red. Honestly, Qi Yan was the kind of guy who could satisfy many girls' fantasies, right?
Tall and handso, and not to ntion successful in his career and wealthy.
Such a guy would be hard for most girls to reject.
And Lin iya felt he was very compatible with her too.
Yet, this man's confession didn't match his domineering CEO persona at all—stuttering and incredibly earnest.
But it was precisely this... that was moving.
Lin iya's heartbeat was a bit fast as she looked at the Qi Yan in front of her, "Is that it? You're not even going to ntion more of your good qualities?"
Her voice was tinged with laughter.
Unfortunately, Qi Yan was too nervous to notice.
He really began to speak earnestly, "Well, I don't have any bad habits, my social circle is clean, filled with people like Xie Xiao. Yes, I smoke and drink, but it's all for socializing. If you don't like it, I can quit. I don't really have any hobbies; I like traveling but I've been too busy to go for a long ti. I want to travel with you in the future. I rarely play gas anymore. To get a full 8 hours of sleep feels like a luxury, but you can rest assured, I'll definitely make ti for you every day..."
The more Qi Yan spoke, the softer his voice beca, "If you're willing to be my girlfriend, I can change..."
After finishing, he looked at Lin iya, his Adam's apple moving up and down, "Quite a terrible confession, I didn't even prepare flowers..."
Lin iya really wanted to tell him that it was enough, she had already received the flowers he sent last ti.
But she asked about sothing that had been troubling her all this ti, "After last ti, you didn't contact , I thought you were joking."
"I wasn't, I just feared you wouldn't want to contact . I drove to your apartnt several nights and waited at your law firm too, but I didn't dare to show myself, afraid you wouldn't want to see ." Qi Yan's voice was full of frustration, "I've never been in a relationship, so there are a lot of things I really don't understand. Don't be too hard on , and if you're really upset, you can punish ."
He spoke with sincerity, "But, could you give a chance?"
Lin iya was speechless; one of them was a boss who could easily secure deals at the negotiating table.
The other was a sharp-witted lawyer, but at this mont, both were silent.
After all, they were both novices in love.
Always afraid of doing sothing wrong that might make the other person uncomfortable or unhappy.
So, they could only move forward cautiously, step by step.
Carefully exploring, trying to draw the other's attention without making them uncomfortable.
Qi Yan felt every second was excruciating right now.
Just as he was about to speak up and ask once more, Lin iya spoke.
"Qi Yan, it seems like our statuses are not quite equal, but I still want to try. I, I've never been in a relationship either. In fact, before I t you, I hadn't planned on being in one, as I had never t soone who clicked with so well."
Lin iya's voice was soft, uncertain, "I've always sought a shared intellectual world, but it seems my suitors never understood. Only you are different."
She smiled at Qi Yan, "I'm also a beginner, and I might not be quite what you expect, but this is the first ti my heart has been so stirred, I still want to try."
Extending her hand to Qi Yan, just as she had when they first t, she said, "So, please guide in the future... boyfriend."
