Yichan’s Villa.

” This or this?” Yichan asked before showing Guiren a dark blue and maroon suit. ​​

Guiren raised his eyebrows and asked,” One simple question, do you like Yang Ning?”

” I’ll wear blue, Ning hates maroon anyway.” Yichan said.

” How do you know that she hates maroon?” Guiren asked.

” I just know.” Yichan said.

” Seriously dude, what is up with you? If you like Yang Ning, just admit it.” Guiren said.

” Stop talking nonsense.” Yichen sais.

” Nonsense? If I am talking nonsense then what you are doing is double nonsense.” Guiren said.

Pausing for a while, he continued,” You think I don’t know Yi? I am your best friend okay? We are childhood buddies so obviously I know you inside out. Secretly protecting Yang Ning, always creating trouble for Wen Enterprise, helping her secure deals secretly, you think I don’t know what you are trying to do?”

” You are over thinking, it’s nothing like that.” Yichan said.

Guiren sighed and said,” I am so glad that grandpa Mo is forcing you to marry her.”

Ignoring him, Yichan kept on checking his suit out.

Guiren chuckled and said,” Look how excited you are for this dinner date.”

Yichan frowned and said,” It’s not a date.”

” Then why are you so excited?” Guiren asked.

Yes, Yichan was indeed very excited and even he couldn’t figure out why. The thought about going out with Yang Ning was making him all giddy and excited. He wanted to dress up well and look handsome in front of her.

” Call it off for the day and go home.” Yichan said.

Guiren chuckled and said,” You cannot brush me off like that.”

” Ahhh so is young master Zhang hurt? Does me brushing you off hurts your ego?” Yichan asked.

Guiren frowned and said,” Hey don’t call me that. I am no longer a young master or whatever.”

Yichan chuckled and said,” You have almost 30% of Zhang corporation shares and with Grandpa Zhang’s 35% shares which by the way he willingly wants to give you, that makes you the biggest shareholder of Zhang corporations. Why don’t you just kick your father out and take over Zhang corporation?”

Guiren smiled and said,” Because you need me more than Zhang corporation okay? Your company is doomed without me.”

Yichan smiled and said,” Get lost.”

” Alright, I’ll take my leave now.” Guiren said.

….

Ning’s apartment.

Glancing at the mirror for the 1000th time, Ning reapplied her lipstick for the last time before heading out.

She was feeling very nervous and excited at the same time. She knew this wasn’t a date, maybe for her it was but she was sure that for Yichan it wasn’t.

Trying very hard to conceal her excitement, Ning stepped out of her apartment.

…..

Downstairs.

After checking himself out in the rear mirror for the 1000th time, Yichan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

” Okay now chill Yichan. It’s just a formal date and nothing romantic and special like it used to be.” Yichan murmured.

Just then he saw Ning coming towards his car wearing a very beautiful blue dress.

Looking at his suit, Yichan realised something which made him even more nervous. He was also wearing a blue suit.

The thought about wearing the same coloured clothes and going on a dinner date was making him feel more giddy.

Isn’t this something that couples who are insanely in love with each other do?

Yichan took a few deep breaths while patting his chest, consoling his flustering and giddy heart that it’s just a coincidence.

Checking his hair for the last time, Yichan got down from the car.

When Ning saw him getting out of the car, her heart skipped several beats. Why does he look more handsome every time she sees him?

” You are late.” Yichan said.

Ning fronwed and said,” I had a late meeting.” in a very irritated tone.

After spending more than two hours getting ready, a ‘You are late’ is all she got from him. Anyway, what else could he say and what was she even expecting? She was accepting a ‘You look beautiful’ or a ‘You are looking gorgeous’ from him right?

Ning helplessly shook her head and sighed.

” Get in.” Yichan said before pulling her car door for her.

Without saying anything, Ning got into the car.

….

Inside the car.

” Where are we going?” Ning asked.

” Don’t worry, that place is safe. No reporters, nothing.” Yichan said.

Pausing for a while, Yichan said in a very low voice,” You are looking good.”

Thinking that she heard wrong, Ning asked,” What did you say?”

Yichan cleared his throat and said,” You are looking good.”

Ning smiled and said,” You are looking good too.”

Yichan raised his eyebrows and said,” Good? Just good? I am looking fucking handsome. In fact, I look handsome all the time, everyday and every second.”

Ning rolled her eyes and murmured,” Shameless.”
