My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 452 - 027: The shy look is still a bit cute_2

"When I first met her, she seemed quite cheerful and lively to me. I didn’t expect she had been through such things."

"I thought the same when I first met her, but after getting to know her, I really feel for her. She doesn’t let us ask about her and Ji Ye, saying she’s got it under control."

"Don’t worry! Whatever you’re concerned about, she’s probably thought of as well. There’s no need to worry."

"Yeah, as her friends, we just need to show up to accompany her and provide support and comfort when she needs us."

"Yes."

After they had finished their meal, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu refused to take their money. They were at a stalemate at the register for quite some time. Eventually, Ye Lingran hurriedly pulled out 300 yuan in cash and stuffed it into the pocket of Aunt Yu’s apron, pulling Yun Qi towards the door of the restaurant, saying they’d come back again next time.

Aunt Yu looked at the 300 yuan in her pocket and exchanged a glance with Uncle Yu: "This girl... how is she just like Cen Jin and Shi Shu! Ah! How can we take their money? They’re Feici’s best friends."

"Feici! She’s stubborn and has a bad temper. I used to worry she wouldn’t make friends, but after seeing these kids, I’m relieved. Next time Feici comes back, let her treat them to a meal on her own accord!" Uncle Yu sighed, waved his hand, and went back to the kitchen to busy himself again.

Once in the car, Ye Lingran urged Yun Qi to start the car quickly. Yun Qi smiled helplessly and once they drove out of the block, he turned his head to look at her: "Where to now?"

"Home!" Ye Lingran replied without a second thought. But after speaking, seeing no change in his expression, she felt something strange and asked, "Wha... what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I’ll take you back now."

"Oh, okay..." Ye Lingran nodded dazedly and stared at him in a confused manner.

After driving for about twenty minutes, they arrived at Yunluo District. Ye Lingran unfastened her seatbelt and looked at Yun Qi again. His hands were still on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed ahead. His gentle facial contours, however, gave off a somewhat somber vibe.

"Um... it’s still early, do you want to come up to my place for a while..." Ye Lingran tentatively offered, feeling inexplicably guilty when he looked over, she awkwardly laughed: "I was just... saying it casually, don’t take it seriously, I just realized my lipstick..."

"I took it seriously." Before she could finish speaking, Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and replied, unbuckling his seatbelt and removing the car keys: "Let’s go!"

Ye Lingran was dumbfounded, speechless as she looked at him. He really wasn’t being bashful at all!

After getting out of the car, they went upstairs together. He had only been to her house once before. Inside, it was as clean and bright as last time. After changing shoes at the doorway, Ye Lingran placed her bag on the cabinet with a built-in mirror, and walked inside: "You sit for a while first." Saying that she turned to the kitchen, opening the fridge to see what was inside.

She didn’t like overly sweet things but really enjoyed soufflé. There was a piece she bought earlier that morning in the fridge. She also grabbed a bottle of iced coffee and placed them on the table, smiling apologetically: "Uh... I don’t really eat snacks or drinks, so there’s nothing else at home, you... make do."

Yun Qi looked at the coffee and small cake she placed down and chuckled, squinting his eyes: "You seem to really like soufflé?"

"Yeah, pretty much! This kind of cake has a moderate sweetness and a nice texture."

Yun Qi picked up the small spoon and tasted it. Since it was just taken out of the fridge, it was cold but not too sweet or greasy, and it tasted pretty good. He raised an eyebrow with satisfaction: "Hmm, it is indeed quite delicious."

Ye Lingran gave a faint smile, got up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, pulling the door open. A cool night breeze gently blew into the room, mussing up the hair behind her ears. Turning to Yun Qi, she asked: "Are you free this Sunday?"

"Hmm?"

"Um... The people at the nursing home called and said my grandmother keeps insisting on seeing you, so I wanted to ask if you have time this Sunday..."

"Alright, I’ll pick you up at eight-thirty Sunday morning."

Ye Lingran was taken aback, not expecting him to agree so readily, and she nodded: "Okay."

As Yun Qi turned his gaze back, he noticed a tea box under the coffee table. It was the tea she brought last time when she visited his mother. Raising an eyebrow, he asked: "Do you still have this tea?"
