503 The Secret About the Past 121 (2/2)
Jin Qingyue shook her head. ”No, what's hard about it? Actually, I'm really rather afraid to face Auntie. If she found out it was me, she would have been furious.”
”You should come out.” Ling Ciye turned around and headed towards the door while she followed behind.
After making lunch, Jin Qingyue passed him the bowl of food with utensils. ”I'd wanted to go out and eat and send you the soup, but our plans obviously can't happen anymore. Let's just eat at home then.”
”Actually, the food outside is probably not as good as what you make.”
Jin Qingyue raised her head abruptly and glanced at him, her cheeks flushing slightly. ”Being complimented by you like that actually makes me very happy.”
She did not bother covering up her true emotions.
There was no need to.
As they ate their lunch idly, Ling Ciye felt that during this period of time he had spent with her, he saw another side of her he had never seen before.
Although they grew up together and had a certain level of understanding about each other, it was all from the perspective of siblings and not between a man and a woman.
After the change in their relationship, he realized that she was much more mature than he had imagined. Maybe because she had gained more experiences, the current person she was allowed him to see a tender and feminine side of her.
It was exactly the kind of wife he wanted — a domestic woman who could assist her husband and raise her children. He did not want a career woman as a wife, since both of them would be busy and would not have enough time to spend with each other.
Wasn't that so?
While Jin Qingyue was eating, she realized he was smiling as he looked at her. She rapidly lowered her head, her heart rate accelerating profusely.
”Next time, if such a thing happens again, don't hide underneath the bed anymore.”
”Umm?” Jin Qingyue never expected he would say that. ”Didn't you not want…”
”That's still better than you hiding under the bed.”
”Brother Ciye, no wonder I'm getting more fond of you now. You're so nice.”
”Quickly, eat…”
Jin Qingyue was exceptionally pleased inside. After their meal, Jin Qingyue went to wash the bowls.
On the other hand, he just stood by the door and watched her.
”Brother Ciye, you can go to the sofa to rest.”
”I'm not tired, why should I rest? Later, let's go for a drive?”
”Really?” Her eyes sparkled with excitement. ”That's great.”
”Umm. I'll go and change first.”
Jin Qingyue watched as his figure went further away from the kitchen door, her heart stirring with excitement in that moment.
She speedily washed the cutlery and took off her apron, running back into the room to rearrange her things. She then put on some makeup and got ready to leave the house with him.
Jin Qingyue felt like she had turned back into a young girl all of a sudden. That feeling was like she going out with one's first love for the very first time.
It was refreshing, exhilarating, and delightful.
It was just a drive.
However, it did not stop her heart from bursting with joy.
”Where do you want to go?”
”Anywhere is fine. As long as it's with you, I'm happy.”
Hearing her say this, Ling Ciye could feel his heart skip a beat. The corner of his lips curled into a smile. ”Alright then, I'll decide.”
The car speedily drove out of Wei Ni Estate, and the car roof of the convertible slowly opened up.
The wind blew past their ears, and the weather was exceptionally cooling after the rain. In this comfortable atmosphere, Jin Qingyue raised both her hands up, all pumped up as she shouted, ”It's been such a long time since I've felt so happy.”
”What's there to be happy about this?”
”Of course, this may be nothing to you, but it's different for me. I feel like I've turned younger by so many years. It feels like I've found who I was when I was younger. Brother Ciye, thank you for giving me this chance.”
”Rather than say I've given you this chance, it's more like you've given me a chance as well.”
The two exchanged meaningful looks and broke into wide smiles.
