"Since you've been here for so long now, you wouldn't mind having dinner together, would you?" Ye Yang asked with a grin and a hint of playfulness in his voice.
Qian Yurou agreed to his request graciously, seemingly very pleased with Ye Yang's arrangements. She owed him a huge favor anyway, and now that he was making a suggestion, Qian Yurou couldn't possibly turn him down.
Ye Yang acknowledged her graciousness. After all, after what they've gone through today, they were now considered friends.
The dim yellow lights shining down on Qian Yurou added a shade of blurriness to her being, making her all the more charming. Ye Yang narrowed his eyes slightly as he stared straight at her.
Qian Yurou could sense his gaze but she didn't try to shy away from it. Instead, she playfully struck a few poses, causing Ye Yang to chuckle.
"What are you doing?" Ye Yang was clearly surprised by Qian Yurou's odd gestures that he couldn't help but wonder.
"I'm making it easier for you to admire my beauty." Qian Yurou didn't hold back at all. Having been gorgeous all her life, Qian Yurou knew how to play her cards well.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang found Qian Yurou to be even more interesting. It was like Qian Yurou had two very distinct sides. One part of her was that of an elegant and prominent lady, while the other part was a gentle yet cheeky little lass.
"Still, thank you so much for today." Although Qian Yurou was a tender character, she had a strong alcohol tolerance. The moment she picked up the wine glass, Ye Yang leaned in to stop her.
Qian Yurou caught sight of Ye Yang's action. With a swift movement, she dodged away from Ye Yang before finishing her drink in one go. "Are you underestimating my tolerance?"
"Yes, I've underestimated you." Ye Yang naturally wouldn't say anything else about her. "I've helped you avert such a massive disaster, but having only a glass of wine in my presence? Now, aren't you being dismissive of me?"
Qian Yurou sounded even more confident as she spoke, "What? You still think I'm dismissive of you? For a beauty as gorgeous as me to have dinner with you, to drink with you, is that not enough?"
Ye Yang felt helpless. No matter how hateful attractive people were, one couldn't help but be forgiving of them. "Tis indeed an honor. But I do wonder, would I ever have the opportunity of having this great beauty pay back the deed I've done with her body?"
Qian Yurou's eyes abruptly widened, clearly startled by Ye Yang's words. But soon, she saw a hint of playfulness in his eyes and immediately knew that Ye Yang was merely jesting.
"Wow, you sure think ahead, don't you?" Watching a beauty annoyed and irked sent Ye Yang's heart flying out the window. Ye Yang had met many attractive beauties but Qian Yurou was the only one who suited the atmosphere at Phoenix Villa the most.
There was an indescribable feeling to her aura, and she seemed divine in her gown which paired well with the decor of Phoenix Villa.
In the end, both of them merely had dinner together. Ye Yang's eyes were still clear as he watched Qian Yurou, but his expression was a little hazy when he sent Qian Yurou back to her home with a smile.
Qian Yurou had had quite a bit to drink today. The alcohol was beginning to take effect and it proved that she had drunk too much.
Once the car rolled to a stop in front of Qian Yurou's house, Ye Yang glanced at her and chuckled, "You're not inviting me in for a drink?"
Qian Yurou stared into Ye Yang's eyes for the longest time before extending a finger over to place it on Ye Yang's chin. "Since you've brought it up, how could I not agree with you?"
Ye Yang looked at Qian Yurou, helpless. He never anticipated that she would be this bold. "I'd advise you to stop doing things like this to other men."
"Will there be consequences?" Qian Yurou stared back at him with an indescribable charm in her gaze. "I'd like to see just what they are."
With a slight tug, Ye Yang managed to pull Qian Yurou into his arms. The smell of alcohol on her was mingled with her perfume and it was intoxicating, to say the least.
Neither of them spoke. Ye Yang slowly pressed Qian Yurou against the car's door and said, "You're quite bold."
Evidently startled by Ye Yang's actions, Qian Yurou remained silent. Ye Yang slowly placed his hand on Qian Yurou's chin before letting her go altogether.
Qian Yurou flashed him a grin and then pushed the car door open. Then, she gave him the biggest flying kiss.
Ye Yang chuckled before driving away.
That night, Ye Yang didn't head to Huang Ruobing's place but instead returned to his home. It was the next day that he leisurely strolled into Huang Ruobing's office.
Huang Ruobing wasn't surprised by his unannounced arrival. By now, both of them had almost gotten used to each other's habits.
However, on this rare occasion, Huang Ruobing took a break from work and asked Ye Yang, "How are things with Rourou?"
"There shouldn't be any problems left," Ye Yang answered honestly. Relief flashed across Huang Ruobing's expression, but soon, more questions followed suit.
"What are your intentions toward her?" Huang Ruobing decided to bite the bullet as if she had sensed that something was off.
However, Ye Yang answered nonchalantly, "I have no intentions whatsoever."
When it came to matters pertaining to herself, Huang Ruobing would be barely concerned. But when it came to Qian Yurou, she was extremely meticulous, proving how concerned she was.
Huang Ruobing declared, "Although I have yet to find out what your motives are, I would never use Rourou to repay you. That is my boundary. While I'm not against you being in contact with her, you can't ever harm her."
Huang Ruobing's eyes were filled with sincerity. Meanwhile, Ye Yang hadn't expected her to say something like this to him. "My intention toward her is the exact same as what I have for you."
While it sounded like Ye Yang didn't give much of an answer, it was actually a firm promise to Huang Ruobing.
