218 Little Signs (1/2)

This was the first time they had seen him hold onto a woman so endearingly. He even had a sweet smile as he spoke to her. Some of them had heard rumors of his engagement but did not believe it; it seemed that it was true after all.

But who was that woman?

She did not seem like the top actress or model or even a bourgeoisie-daughter whom they thought he would end up with, she looked rather calm with a clean beauty and smooth look, homely and was not even dressed in very expensive wears.

She was the perfect definition of a wife material. Although many of the female employees were envious of her, they could not help but agree that they both looked perfect together.

…

Jin Yue took Xin Yong to one of the five star restaurants in the heart of the city; Xin Yong knew that a meal in that kind of place was up to five digits or even more so she just picked one meal. When Jin Yue saw her choice, he frowned a bit and ticked a few more before passing it over to the waiter who had been standing by the side.

Almost at that moment, Xin Yong's phone which she had dropped on the table started ringing. She frowned and picked up the phone, peering at the screen, as soon as she saw the name written on it, she quickly turned the phone, upside down.

It was Freya, if she picked her call, here when she was with Jin Yue, he would surely want to know who the person was and she was not about to spoil their surprise, so the best choice was to not pick the call.

''Who was it?''

Although Xin Yong had pretended that nothing happened, Jin Yue was still quick to notice her actions, he immediately inquired of the caller.

Xin Yong cleared her throat and shook her head,

''It's Liling, I'll call her later.'' She explained with a small smile. Jin Yue smiled and pushed a few hairs behind her ear lovingly.

''These days, I am finding it difficult to stay without you, you know that?''

Jin Yue asked, staring into her eyes, sincerely. Xin Yong held his gaze for a moment before looking elsewhere.

''Stop teasing me…''

Her phone started ringing again, their gazes both shifted to the lit screen and without saying a word, Xin Yong switched off the phone, returning silence to the private room.

Jin Yue wanted to continue talking but the waiter walked in with their meal, so they had to stop.

Xin Yong was surprised at the many dishes that where placed on the table, she sighed knowing that it was Jin Yue who had chosen them; he practically knew nothing about being economical.

Jin Yue, who had noticed her staring at the dishes, frowned lightly.

''You don't like it? … Waiter, take this all away…''

''No! I love them. ''
