Chapter 122 The Impulse to Coax Her
She handed him another piece before saying, "I was afraid you'd misunderstand, which would be unfair to me."
“Girls are very sensitive and tend to overthink things, and vice versa,” she said, biting her lower lip as she looked at him. “If another girl appears in your life and you don’t explain, I might misunderstand too.”
Yan Zhixu: "Why should I explain myself to someone who has nothing to do with me?"
Liang Liangwei: Aren't you afraid I'll misunderstand?
Yan Zhixu: "A gentleman is magnanimous and at ease, while a petty person is always anxious and worried."
Liang Liangwei: "You...you called me a villain!"
Yan Zhixu was uncharacteristically speechless for a moment: "...That's not what I meant."
Liang Liangwei put down her knife and fork, turned her eyes away, and pouted: "I'm not eating anymore, I have no appetite!"
Yan Zhixu: "..."
Seeing his girlfriend pouting and looking unhappy, Yan Zhixu was at a loss.
The curve of her upturned lips suggested that her bag could be hung there securely without falling off, revealing the depth of her annoyance.
Her dark eyes sparkled with a lively starlight, a mixture of anger and reproach that suddenly made one want to coax her.
He had never tried to appease an angry girlfriend before, and the feeling was both unfamiliar and novel, which he was eager to give it a try.
My gaze fell on the plate of lamb chops in front of her. Most of the T-bone lamb chop had already been eaten, so it seemed she really enjoyed it.
He paused, got up, moved to sit next to her, picked up a piece of lamb with his fork, and looked at her sideways: "Shall I feed you lamb chops?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Liangwei's eyes. She glanced at it sideways before quickly turning away, saying, "I already told you, I have no appetite~"
“Those who have no appetite are petty people, but my girlfriend is an exception,” he said, placing his left hand on the back of her chair and bringing the mutton to her lips with his right, coaxing her in the same tone he had just used, “Try it, hmm?”
The meat was brought right to her lips, and its aroma wafted into her nostrils. She instinctively pursed her lips.
She heard a man's soft, coaxing voice in her ear, so sweet and magnetic that she wanted to scream.
He had to feign indifference and scoff, "Don't talk nonsense next time."
Yan Zhixu readily agreed, saying, "Okay."
Liang Liangwei then opened her mouth to take the mutton and chewed it carefully.
Just now she was feeding him, but now the roles have reversed, and the man is coaxing her to eat. It's like the tables have turned.
She happily ate several pieces of lamb chop from the man's hand, finishing them all and feeling full.
She sipped her tea slowly, and when she saw him put down his fork but still sit next to her, she turned to look at him and said, "Aren't you going to sit back down and eat some more?"
Yan Zhixu pulled out a tissue and wiped the grease from her lips, smiling indulgently: "I'm full. I'll sit here with you. Why don't you eat some more?"
Liang Liangwei rubbed her slightly bulging stomach and said, "I'm full too. Did I eat more than you? I ate all of this mutton."
Yan Zhixu gestured with her chin toward the other dishes: "I eat a lot of the other dishes."
Liang Liangwei thought so too. He was so tall and not skinny, so his appetite must be bigger than the average person's, let alone a girl like her.
Perhaps his elegant way of eating made people overlook the actual amount he ate.
"Would you like some more dessert?" Yan Zhixu asked.
Liang Liangwei shook her head: "No need."
She remembered what he had just said about taking her somewhere else, and tilted her head to ask, "Where did you say you were going to take me?"
Yan Zhixu had no original plan; he only said it to Fu Yankai. But since he had already said it and she seemed very interested, he felt he couldn't just give her a perfunctory answer.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Shall we go to the moat to see the lanterns?"
A park has been built along the moat of Hwaseong, and every evening, beautiful colored lights attract citizens to come and enjoy the view. It is a good place for young people, couples, and nearby residents to relax.
Liang Liangwei knew this too. She used to go there with her classmates when she was in school, but she rarely went after she got busier with work.
Now that she was going with her boyfriend, she was even more excited and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go now."
The two got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
Yan Zhixu paid at the counter with her phone, while Liang Liangwei walked to the side, took a few pieces of chewing gum from the plate, and popped one into her mouth.
She wanted to offer him two as well, but when she turned around, she saw Fu Yankai walking towards her.
Fu Yankai was accompanied by a gentle and graceful girl, the kind of girl from a modest family, who looked like a good wife. She was petite and only reached his shoulder.
She raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Girlfriend? You two are a perfect match!"
The girl heard this, looked at her, then at Fu Yankai, blushed, and smiled slightly at Liang Liangwei.
Being so easily embarrassed is a good match for this guy.
Fu Yankai's expression was not good, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Don't make wild guesses, it's not like that."
Isn't it because you're getting so close to him?
Why is that girl blushing?
Liang Liangwei smiled and said kindly to the girl, "Hello, he and I are old classmates. My boyfriend and I came to this restaurant for dinner and happened to run into you here, so I just wanted to say hello."
The girl smiled at her and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
She seemed to be smiling sincerely, and Liang Liangwei guessed it was because she had said she came with her boyfriend.
Since we're both girls, it's easy to guess what's on our minds.
This girl definitely likes Fu Yankai.
Yan Zhixu walked over and stood next to Liang Liangwei. He wasn't surprised to see Fu Yankai at all. He nodded to him and then took Liang Liangwei's hand and left.
Liang Liangwei turned around and waved to the girl, who waved back.
Fu Yankai stared intently at her departing figure with a deep expression.
Liang Liangwei took Yan Zhixu's arm and asked, "We've both driven, shall we ride in your car or mine?"
Yan Zhixu led the person directly to his car: "Sit in mine. Give me your car keys, and I'll drive your car to pick you up tomorrow."
Liang Liangwei: "Wouldn't that be a bit troublesome?"
Yan Zhixu opened the passenger door of the Bentayga, looked down at her, and said, "Things that can be solved won't cause trouble. Get in."
Liang Liangwei smiled, placed her hand in his, and got into the car.
Yan Zhixu closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and drove the car onto the main road.
Liang Liangwei tore open two pieces of chewing gum she had just brought and held them to his lips: "Here, have some candy, open your mouth—"
Like coaxing a child to take medicine, the man chuckled and opened his mouth to take it.
Liang Liangwei smiled, pursed her lips, leaned back in her chair, and turned her head to look at him.
The man's profile was incredibly handsome, with sharp lines and a cool, aloof demeanor, yet his smile was so gentle and captivating.
The slow, deliberate chewing motion engaged the muscles in the jaw and neck, causing the Adam's apple to bob—very…sexy.
She couldn't help but swallow.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the man seemed to be in a good mood tonight, especially during the latter part of the meal.
Did something happen that made him happy?
