Chapter 310: Valentine’s Day Secret Discovery ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Li Yan didn’t expect her to mention Yue Yao again, what’s going on here? It’s impossible for Yue Yao to be seen by her. The two of them have already met and communicated earlier, and if she called Yue Yao or saw anything, Yue Yao wouldn’t have failed to mention it, and this scenario is almost impossible.
"What’s up with Yue Yao?" He could only play dumb and ask.
Yurong gave him a sidelong glance, saying irritably, "Since you’re so full of compassion, you even prepared flowers for Hai Fu, so what about Yue Yao? Didn’t you give her any? She also doesn’t have anyone sending her flowers."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan was relieved. It was obvious that Yurong had listened to and accepted his earlier explanation. If he mentioned Yue Yao, it would seem as if he was truly guilt-free.
However, not having mentioned it before, bringing it up only after being asked changes the meaning, making it suspicious why he didn’t talk earlier, perhaps deliberately hiding something.
Thinking about this, Li Yan shrugged helplessly, "Well, I was planning to, but... I assumed you wouldn’t know about others, so there wouldn’t be an issue. If I bought flowers for Yue Yao, you’d definitely find out and perhaps misunderstand, so... if you don’t mind, we can buy her some flowers later when we go out."
Yurong snorted, "Who’s going out with you later?"
"You didn’t go to the premiere, Xueyin has prepared movie tickets for us, inviting us to watch a movie together tonight. I specially came back to wait for you." Having sorted out the issue, Li Yan brought up the movie outing.
Yurong looked at him, seeing him actually take out the tickets and realizing he really came home first. She felt much more comfortable, assuming he would also spend the evening with Shinohara Mirai and the others. Unexpectedly, he figured out a way to come back to accompany her. Even if he went with the excuse of entertaining a client, nobody would know if he was actually with Yu Xiaodi.
Thinking about his sincerity, and remembering that she had questioned him right upon returning, she felt a bit guilty, wanting to apologize but not naturally. "Um..."
"What?"
"It’s about earlier..." Seeing his confused query, Yurong didn’t know if he genuinely didn’t understand or was pretending, wanting to hear her apologize, so she quickly said, "Earlier, it wasn’t really my fault. It’s a normal reaction. You didn’t inform me first, making it look like you were hiding something."
Li Yan, knowing her thoughts, couldn’t help but smile, moving behind her, placing his hand on her shoulder, and rubbing gently, "How could I blame you? It was my fault. You feeling jealous is very..."
"Who’s jealous here?" free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Uh... your reaction! Your reaction indicates love, caring about me, and thus showing concern. If it was last year’s Valentine’s Day, even if I dated a group of beauties until exhaustion, you’d have no reaction whatsoever. Right?"
"Gross!" Yurong snorted, before such words would make her feel he’s disgusting and disdainful, but now it made her annoyed.
"Are we eating before going out, or going out to eat? Restaurants outside tonight might be hard to find a spot. Why not change clothes first, and then we can go after dinner? Aunt Liu is almost finished making dinner, anyway." Knowing she’ll decline if asked, Li Yan straightforwardly made the decision for her.
"Change clothes for what? Such a hassle!" The thought of dressing up for a Valentine’s date made Yurong’s heart race and feel a bit anxious.
"You don’t need clothes to look good, you look good in anything, even better without... But there’ll be many people going out tonight, and you might run into colleagues. If wearing work clothes, they’ll instantly recognize you, but with a change of clothes, they wouldn’t dare to acknowledge you. Haha, that’s the plan! I’ll wait for you outside." Li Yan finished speaking and left, not giving her a chance to resist.
Yurong sighed in relief, heading out for an official date.
Thinking back on earlier events, although she chose to trust Li Yan’s words, she still felt something was off. But the thought only flashed briefly, and she was reluctant to dwell on it.
...
At prime movie time tonight, it’s mostly couple screenings, with most entering the theater as couples. This relaxed Yurong, originally feeling unnatural and embarrassed, worried about being watched, but now finding comfort amidst a sea of pairs, making them less conspicuous.
Knowing each other and being married for a year, this was only their second movie date together. Thus, the film’s content was secondary; the ambiance and experience were key. Especially for Li Yan, having already seen the premiere, and now attending with Yurong, he spent the entire movie holding her hand absentmindedly.
Compared to their previous movie outing, Li Yan was ’well-behaved’ this time, enjoying a warm experience with her, occasionally amused by other couples kissing in the cinema, mutual silent laughter between them.
After the movie, Li Yan initially suggested going for some fun, but Yurong preferred going home, and he didn’t mind. Given their current circumstances, staying romantically outside was less appealing than keeping it cozy at home, perhaps leveraging the Valentine’s atmosphere to take the final step!
Just before reaching home, Yurong proactively said, "You haven’t given me flowers yet."
This surprised Li Yan, hadn’t he already given flowers?
"That doesn’t count. You’ve mentioned so many people. I don’t want to be like everyone else. Besides, it wasn’t you who personally gave them to me. There was no sincerity at all," Yurong added.
"Oh, I see. No problem, I’ll send you another one, personally!" Li Yan drove around looking for a flower shop nearby.
"Make it two bouquets!"
"Two bouquets? Could it be..."
Yurong naturally said, "We’ll go back like this, and let Yue Yao see? Or later, you could use them as a gift for her, re-gifting mine? Buy two bouquets, so both her and I have one, and she’d be fine accepting it."
Hearing this, Li Yan suddenly understood that Yurong’s main goal wasn’t to get flowers for herself but to give a bouquet to Yue Yao. She couldn’t give it to her directly, so she wanted him to buy two bouquets. Her kindness and thoughtfulness for others made him both cherish and feel guilty. He finally understood why Yue Yao was willing to step aside for the two of them.
This filled him with worry. If one day she knew about his relationship with Yue Yao, the impact might be greater than on others like Xiao Di.
Now was a happy time, and it wasn’t convenient to talk about this more. Li Yan smiled and agreed, "Oh, so that’s it. No problem, I won’t be stingy!"
Business was really good today. The first flower shop they found had already sold out of red roses. When they found a second flower shop, Li Yan went alone while Zhang Yurong waited in the car.
After picking out two bouquets, Li Yan handed them to Yurong through the open car window and said with a smile, "Honey, these are for you! Is it sincere enough this time?"
Although Yurong didn’t get out of the car, she felt embarrassed from the window, quickly taking them and playfully scolded, "Get in the car quickly!"
Li Yan got in the car with a cheerful smile, completely unaware that someone outside a nearby shop was watching them.
Of course, it was a gaze without any hostility or malice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so oblivious.
It was Jiang Lele, who lived nearby, who saw Li Yan picking out flowers. Initially, she wanted to say hello, but seeing a girl inside the car, not his girlfriend as she knew, decided not to disturb them.
Still, she was very curious about what Li Yan’s girlfriend was like, so she moved to a nearby shop where she could get a clear view of them. When she saw the familiar pretty face at the car window, her jaw dropped in shock.
Isn’t this President Zhang?
Is this really President Zhang?
Seeing Li Yan happily handing two bouquets to Zhang Yurong, who accepted them without hesitation, Jiang Lele felt like she was in a drama. The impact was too great. Although she didn’t look the same as usual in the company, she believed she wasn’t mistaken that the person must be Zhang Yurong!
Is Li Yan pursuing Zhang Yurong? And he succeeded?
What Jiang Lele found incredible was that there were plenty of better-looking and higher-positioned single men in the company than Li Yan. How did it end up being him? More importantly, Li Yan and the president had no contact at all. If it was Wen Qianyi, even though she’s very excellent, they had worked together, so it could be possible.
Am I seeing things... absolutely seeing things!
Even as she doubted it, her mind automatically started to connect the dots, tying together things that previously seemed unrelated:
Li Yan, with no experience or skills, was able to enter the very important Business Development Department. Despite contributing nothing for a long time, he wasn’t fired, rumored to be a relative of some high-level person or director;
Extremely talented Wen Qianyi, upon arrival, immediately uplifted him as a partner;
His rare three-level promotion at the headquarters, across unrelated departments, being appointed as Deputy Team Leader of the Security Team in the Administration Department, Overseas Group Leader in the Planning Department, and Manager of the new company, Heavenly Film;
All these indicate he’s not an ordinary person and definitely has a background in the company, but Jiang Lele never imagined his background would be President Zhang Yurong! Now seeing them together and connecting everything is truly intriguing.
The other things aside, appointing me as a head of the group’s new company absolutely needed the president’s approval, and she agreed! And with Li Yan’s resume, he was nowhere near meeting that promotion standard, so why did President Zhang approve it?
Also... during the year-end dinner, Li Yan publicly requested to shake hands with the president, and she didn’t refuse. That was entirely against her usual norm!
Jiang Lele realized she inadvertently discovered a secret, one that could become the most explosive news of the New Year within Paradise Group!
