"Yes! It's all the fault of those vile people!" The butler never expected things to turn out this way. "I assure you, there won't be such incidents again in the future!"
"Let's find a place to eat first." Li Yusha raised her gaze and looked at the Ferris wheel. "We'll go to the Si Corporation later."
They could only confront it head-on.
After all, she couldn't waste her elegant attire today...
She had confidence that as long as Achen saw her, he would surely be moved.
Inside the cabin of the Ferris wheel...
Qing Yan admired the beautiful scenery outside when suddenly, a gift was placed in front of her.
"Open it." Si Yechen's eyes sparkled with tenderness.
Qing Yan unwrapped the box, revealing a stunning diamond bracelet inside.
The centerpiece was a graceful butterfly, symbolizing transformation and rebirth. On both sides of the butterfly were 99 smaller stones, each of equal size, tightly nestled together.
The bracelet had a unique design, exuding an air of refined elegance while showcasing the wearer's ethereal charm.
Qing Yan gazed at the radiant bracelet, and on the back of the clasp were their initials: C&Y FOREVER.
Was this his way of expressing a lifelong commitment?
"Do you like it?" Si Yechen observed her reaction, his voice filled with doting affection. "Your hand is fair, it will look beautiful on you."
"Why did you give this to me?"
"I gave it to you because you like it." Did he need any other reason?
If he had to give a reason, it was because during their last encounter at her grandfather's place, there was a power outage, and he saw her delicate collarbone resembling a vivid butterfly, which sparked his creativity.
He personally designed this bracelet and closely supervised the master craftsman during its creation.
Although he had numerous production lines under his name, he had never personally overseen any of them. This girl broke his pattern.
"You accepted my grandmother's necklace, so naturally, you have to accept mine too. I can't be biased."
Si Yechen didn't give her a chance to refuse. He took out the bracelet and put it on her fair wrist.
With its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, it appeared even more luxurious and elegant when worn.
Si Yechen raised a doting smile. "It looks great."
No one else could achieve this effect.
Even his top jewelry spokesperson couldn't bring him the same satisfaction and astonishment he felt in this moment.
His girl looked so beautiful.
She was beautiful without wearing the bracelet, but with it, she became even more stunning.
The waiter serving the dishes couldn't help but secretly admire Qing Yan's appearance—an exquisite face and a refreshing and elegant temperament. No wonder she captured the attention of Young Master Si...
However, they couldn't figure out who she really was, as she accepted such a precious gift without any reaction...
If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been overjoyed and teary-eyed by now.
To be able to make the cold-faced Yama, Si Yechen, reveal such a doting gaze and carefully hold her in his hands, this girl's status must be extraordinary.
"Thank you." Qing Yan calmly picked up her knife and fork and began eating the steak in front of her.
Si Yechen smiled and said, "Let me do the cutting."
He placed the sliced steak into her plate, speaking gently, "Eat more."
At that moment, her phone vibrated, and Qingyan took it out to check. It was a message from her assistant, He Ning.
"Miss Qing, about the company cafeteria... Shouldn't you take charge of it too?"
"The food here is usually bland, but lately, it has a strange taste!"
"Even though I rarely go to the cafeteria, people in the company have been complaining about it for quite some time."
He Ning attached a picture and added, "The cafeteria is managed by Mr. Hu's relative, and they charge us 9 yuan for every meal!"
Qingyan, with her slender fingers, replied, "It is indeed bland."
"These past two days have been relatively better! The kitchen staff knows you're reorganizing the company, so we even had fish soup for lunch today! Take a look."
He Ning sent another photo.
Qingyan examined the color of the soup and remarked, "The color is off."
"Huh? What? Miss Qing, don't scare me... Isn't this fish soup supposed to be milky white?!"
Qingyan zoomed in on the photo, glanced at the other food items captured by He Ning, and replied, "Save a sample of every dish for me. I'll check it when I return."
With her comment, He Ning suddenly lost his appetite for the food in front of him!
"Busy?" Si Yechen noticed she had been replying to messages. "Something going on at the company?"
"A bit." Qingyan finished her meal and planned to visit the company cafeteria. "Let's go back."
As soon as she stood up and took a few steps, Si Yechen embraced her from behind.
"It's still early." Si Yechen lowered his gaze, looking at her beautiful profile. "Stay with me a little longer."
Qingyan felt somewhat helpless. She had already accompanied him for lunch, wasn't that enough?
"I want you to stay." Si Yechen held her tightly, breathing in her fragrance. "I miss you when I can't see you, and when I do, I want to be with you. Every moment, I wish you were by my side."
The two waiters and the restaurant manager nearby widened their eyes upon hearing these words...
The rumored cold-hearted Si Yechen was actually saying such sweet words to a girl. Were they hallucinating or were the rumors wrong??
"There are people watching," Qingyan's tone carried a hint of helplessness. This man seemed to be getting clingier, and his words were becoming bolder.
Si Yechen glanced at the people nearby. The restaurant manager and the two waiters instinctively turned away, facing in the opposite direction, no longer daring to pay attention to their every move.
"Yan Yan," Si Yechen greedily held the girl in front of him with both hands, his voice seductive. "I want to do everything that couples do with you."
Qingyan: ...
"Do it many, many times."
"I don't have time." Qingyan had been bothered by him lately, which caused her to delay a lot of private work.
"I can wait when you're busy." Si Yechen seemed to have anticipated her refusal, speaking gently. "Just accompany me when you're free."
"..."
The Ferris wheel slowly ascended to its highest point. In Qingyan's eyes, there was a panoramic view of half the city, but all she heard was one phrase: "I like you."
From the time they met until now, this was Si Yechen's first "like."
She was somewhat stunned and before she could react, she heard him say, "I like holding you, like I am now. I like being with you, I like you as a person, no matter what temperament or appearance you have, I like it all."
Qingmu realized it was about time and was planning to come in and pick up Lord Chen and Miss Qingyan.
But as soon as the door was pushed open, Qingmu saw three people winking and gesturing at him, meaning not to disturb Lord Chen's romantic moment.
Qingmu was dazed upon hearing Si Yechen's confession, unable to believe it. He then looked at the two figures not far away, who were inseparable...
"Yan Yan, I like you." Si Yechen gently kissed her cheek.
Qingyan could feel her cheeks slightly warming up, her whole body feeling a bit restless. Was this a sign of being moved?
If not, then why was her heartbeat accelerating?
"I want to be with you every day." Si Yechen held her tightly, lightly rubbing his handsome face against her delicate cheek.
Despite such an intimate gesture, Qingyan didn't refuse or push him away. After a while, she calmly said, "It's time to go."
It was getting late.
