Billionaire's Secret Twins and Rebellious Wife-Chapter 734: Eyes Meet, Cheeks Flush
He turned back and asked gently.
The smile on the waitress’s face instantly froze as she followed Xiao Yize’s gaze.
Mo Qingning’s youthful, strikingly beautiful face—red lips and pearly white teeth—came into her view.
What’s going on!
Does the handsome guy already have a girlfriend?
Does that mean I won’t even have a chance to get to know him?
The waitress thought disappointedly, feeling inferior as she looked at Mo Qingning’s appearance.
"What would you like to order?"
She asked indifferently.
Mo Qingning didn’t notice any of this. Smiling slightly, she walked up to Xiao Yize, leaned down, and joined him in looking at the menu.
"This one looks really good. I want to try this one."
Mo Qingning quickly made her selection.
Just as she was about to ask Xiao Yize what he’d choose, she heard him place the order with the waitress.
"Two portions of Italian summer berry cream balls."
"Two portions of Italian summer berry cream balls, totaling 72 yuan. Thank you for your patronage."
Hearing that Xiao Yize ordered the same ice cream as hers, Mo Qingning lowered her eyes and smiled softly.
The ice cream hadn’t even been tasted yet, but her heart already felt sweet.
Thinking back to the moment they first met, her smile grew even brighter.
Two large cups of elegant and delicious-looking ice cream were finally ready. Though the wait took a bit longer, for Mo Qingning, every passing moment was tinged with sweetness.
Exiting the ice cream shop, walking along the autumn breeze-kissed streets, Mo Qingning scooped up some cream.
"Wow! This cream tastes amazing!"
Mo Qingning exclaimed joyfully without exaggeration.
Xiao Yize nodded in agreement, lowering his gaze to the girl walking beside him.
"I’m glad you like it."
Such a simple five words sweetly seeped into Mo Qingning’s heart.
She smiled, her fair little face seemingly blushing under the afternoon sunlight.
The fluttering of a young girl’s heart—light and rhythmic.
"Are you getting used to working in the fashion department on the 18th floor?"
"Yes."
Mo Qingning nodded quickly.
"My first day at work felt fresh and interesting. I like this job, and my colleagues are all very friendly."
Xiao Yize nodded lightly, a subtle smile appearing on his clean and refined face.
"They don’t know you’re Xi’s sister?"
"No, no! I don’t want them to know. Otherwise, they might think I’m special, and working like that would feel too uncomfortable."
"That makes sense."
Xiao Yize nodded in agreement.
The two of them ate ice cream as they slowly crossed the street.
She lifted her beautiful large eyes, sneaking glances at his profile. The fragmented afternoon sunlight sprinkled over his clean and delicate features, as flawless as jade.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to the hand holding the ice cream cup. It was as if the moment she first saw those hands, something deep within her had broken free, budding vigorously...
"It’s three minutes to three-thirty now."
Xiao Yize’s clear voice suddenly interrupted Mo Qingning’s appreciation of him.
He lowered his gaze, unexpectedly locking eyes with Mo Qingning, who had been staring at him lost in thought.
That single fleeting moment of eye contact made Mo Qingning’s cheeks flush red. Xiao Yize paused slightly, suddenly realizing something.
Mo Qingning hurriedly withdrew her gaze, the feeling of being caught off guard leaving her utterly flustered and tongue-tied.
"Ah, uh, um, it’s getting late. I—I have to hurry back; being late wouldn’t be good!"
She stammered, fumbling nervously and even rushing forward without properly checking the sides of the road.
"Beep beep beep—"
"Qingning!"
