My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 445 - 025: Angry?_2

Chapter 445: 025: Angry?_2
Ye Lingran nodded, her face showing a bit of awkwardness, and stepped back two small steps to put some distance between them, but he still held her hand suspended between them. Ye Lingran moved her lips, and before she could speak, she heard Jiang Suie say in a probing and nervous tone, "I... I like you."
Ye Lingran’s whole body trembled, and the words she was about to say immediately went back down her throat, her delicate face full of disbelief.
"Saying it like this might seem too abrupt, but... I still want to express my feelings to you. I don’t want to regret it anymore. Last time... in Jiang City, even though it was only a fleeting encounter, I don’t know why, but you left a very deep impression on me. After returning to Nancheng, I always regretted not asking for your contact information then. So... since heaven gave me the chance to meet you again, I don’t want to miss it. I want to reintroduce myself: Ye Lingran, my name is Jiang Suie, I am 25 years old today, an architect, a native of Nancheng. I like you, very... very much. Maybe in my career, I am not as successful as you, but I will work twice as hard to catch up with you, to shield you from wind and rain. Will you... be my girlfriend?" Jiang Suie, originally a rather introverted boy, spoke these words with firm eyes and a powerful tone, with a noticeable blush on his face, and it took great courage for him to say them.
Ye Lingran listened in a daze. This afternoon, when Fan Yunru and the others talked about it, she found it inconceivable, but she never expected it to be true.
"Sorry... I..." Ye Lingran thought for a long time before slowly speaking, trying to keep her tone calm and minimize the hurt to him. Such a big boy, she didn’t want to hurt him, but she already had someone in her heart, and some things had to be made clear. After hesitating a bit, she spoke again: "Maybe you haven’t seen the news. I have a boyfriend. Thank you for your affection and admiration, but... we’re not suitable, sorry."
Hearing this, Jiang Suie’s chest shook hard, and the expectation in his eyes fell along with the stars, and his grip on her wrist loosened a bit, but he didn’t completely let go.
In fact, he had anticipated such a result long ago. She was so beautiful, with such temperament and talent. During that time in Jiang City, she mentioned being with someone, who was probably her boyfriend. Yet he still harbored some hope and luck in his heart.
Sometimes, timing really matters in love. If she hadn’t met Yun Qi first, or hadn’t fallen in love with Yun Qi, perhaps Jiang Suie would have been a very good choice. At a glance, he was a reliable-looking, introverted, shy, sunny young man, even though he was a year younger than her.
But in reality, Yun Qi had already left a deep and indelible mark in her heart, to the point where she couldn’t shake it off. Her heart was small, and it couldn’t hold a second person anymore.
"Ye Lingran."
As Jiang Suie decided to let go, a warm and somewhat displeased, angry voice came over. When Ye Lingran looked over at the sound, Jiang Suie also just released her hand, and her hand fell downwards.
Seeing Yun Qi’s gentle face showing clear anger, his brows furrowed, and with long strides walking towards her, Ye Lingran’s heart trembled inexplicably. Even though she hadn’t done anything, she still felt somewhat guilty and lacking confidence.
"You... why are you here?" Ye Lingran stared at him in a daze.
"I sent you a WeChat message and you didn’t reply. I called, but your phone was off. I was a little worried about you, so I went to your studio to find you. I happened to run into those assistants and interns of yours getting off work, and they said you were here, so I came over." Yun Qi’s brows were still furrowed, and his expression wasn’t very happy. When he drove over, he saw that man holding her hand in an intimate manner. The usually calm Yun Qi found himself irritated and angry, glancing at Jiang Suie and pursing his lips without speaking.
"My phone ran out of charge this afternoon and turned off automatically. I just realized it." Ye Lingran explained subconsciously, seeing his gaze fall on Jiang Suie, she introduced, "That... this is my boy... boyfriend Yun Qi, and this is... my friend Jiang Suie." Although it was only the second time she met Jiang Suie today, she still introduced him as a ’friend.’
