My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 430 - 020: Heartbreak_3

Upon hearing this, Yun Qi’s eyes narrowed instantly, the smile on his lips deepened, and the hand around her waist tightened slightly. His handsome brows lifted lightly: "My current rumored partner... if I remember correctly, seems to be you. I’ve always just considered Li Mo as a sister. She lives abroad for years, and we hardly see each other once a year. Her sudden visit today surprised me too. I don’t even know where she got my address from, so... if you’re mad at me because of this, then I’m really wronged."

"I... I’m not angry." Listening to his earnest explanation, Ye Lingran felt a bit embarrassed. She glanced up at him quickly and then hurriedly looked away, hanging her head in a very awkward manner, hands against his chest, trying to escape his embrace and gaze, changing the topic: "Well... go inside and get the shoes for me! Didn’t you say we were going to eat? Let’s go!"

Just as she was about to withdraw from his embrace, Yun Qi pulled her back into his arms once more, asking with a smile: "Really not angry?"

"Mm, really." Ye Lingran answered, her face flushed, head down.

Yun Qi chuckled, his brows lifting pleasantly, as the hand around her waist slowly released its grip, taking her hand to walk inside: "Sit in the living room for a moment, I’ll get my jacket and grab your shoes."

"Okay."

At the moment when her hand was released, Ye Lingran suddenly felt a touch of reluctance, as if something was slipping away, but it was as sweet as having eaten a jar of honey.

Ye Lingran waited on the living room sofa for about five or six minutes, and Yun Qi came out, carrying a bag and wearing an additional black coat: "Let’s go!"

Ye Lingran hurriedly stood up upon hearing this, her face still flushed from the earlier intimacy, and she felt somewhat flustered meeting his gaze. Without thinking, she asked: "Go... where?"

Yun Qi chuckled lightly, walked up to her, and grabbed the bag off the sofa: "Didn’t we say we were going to eat? Already forgot?"

"Oh... okay." Ye Lingran reached out awkwardly for her shoes and bag, but Yun Qi didn’t hand them to her. Instead, he placed the bag on the hand holding the shoe bag and directly held her hand as they went out.

At the door, while changing shoes, Yun Qi suddenly remembered: "We’re going to eat now, just take my car. We’ll come back together later to pick up the shoes and car, anyway, it’s still early, how about that?"

Ye Lingran was speechless upon hearing this; she seemed unable to refute him. However, deep down, she felt that having her shoes at his place meant it was always a bit difficult to get them. Now she’s even leaving her car there. Luckily, there’s no parking fee, otherwise, with the local rates, after all these years, it would probably cost her a few hundred dollars.

After the two of them drove out, they traveled for about ten minutes, discovering that many restaurants were not officially open yet. Two were open, but Ye Lingran didn’t feel like eating at those. In the end, they circled around nearby, not finding a restaurant.

Finally, as they were about to return to Yun Qi’s house via another road, Ye Lingran noticed a Hunan cuisine inn ahead and the two decided to eat there.

Because it was the seventh day of the New Year, there weren’t many people in the restaurant. After they seated and ordered, Ye Lingran received a call from Yu Feici, inquiring about the post-New Year wedding dress design competition in Nancheng. But she wasn’t well-informed about this matter; she needed to ask Yun Xi, who knows more.

After the call ended, Ye Lingran didn’t ask Yun Qi about the competition, instead she picked up her teacup and took a sip. Although Yun Qi heard her mention the competition, he didn’t ask further.

About half a minute later, Yun Qi smiled and asked: "When is your studio planning to start work?"

"Tomorrow." Ye Lingran turned her head to look at him, put down the teacup, and asked back: "What about you guys? When will the company resume work?"

"Also tomorrow."

Ye Lingran smiled lightly and did not continue the conversation.

"After work starts tomorrow, the company might be quite busy, and the day after tomorrow I’m probably going on a business trip to Australia, which will take around three to six days."

"Mm, once our studio starts, we’ll probably be busy too." Ye Lingran smiled and replied.

After the two finished eating, they strolled around Central Street for a while, returning to Yun Qi’s house around three o’clock in the afternoon, because she had plans to visit the nursing home in the evening to see Grandma Ye and accompany her for dinner. So after leaving Yun Qi’s place, she went straight to the nursing home.
