Chapter 459: 029: When have I ever been in a bad mood?_3
Ye Lingran pursed her lips, "Oh! Well, I bought you something 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 me 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 women? 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 mean is, many women have indeed given me 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 became 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 time before, it’s your turn to decide this time!"
"How about Western food?"
"Hm, anything’s fine."
"Then how about the Western restaurant we went to last time?"
"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 mention 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 came 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 time. If you have any issue, you can call me 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 time for adjustments."
"Should I drive you back now, or do you want to stroll somewhere else?"
"Let’s go back! You’ve been taking care of me 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 home, 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 meaningful amusement 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 remembered.
But today’s two items were ones she’d never seen before, and the cufflink’s style was somewhat 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 documents 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 garments 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 meeting 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 work.
"Mm, well done." Yun Qi responded softly, at this moment 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 documents handed over by Shao Min and read them seriously, signing his name swiftly on the last page.
"It’s almost time, let the preparations begin downstairs." After going through several documents, 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 handsome appearance and wealthy background, he has become 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 acknowledgement, Yun Qi noticed a graceful, indifferent figure standing beside him. Though he hadn’t truly met her, he had seen her in s and news; she was Mu Group heiress Mu Lezhu, recently engaged to Lu Jingang.
