My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 472 - 033: I Like You 3

Ye Lingran was completely overwhelmed by his kiss, feeling dazed and confused. Yet, she clearly heard his words, but couldn’t react to respond.

Seeing her not respond, Yun Qi assumed she agreed and chuckled, giving her a light peck on the lips, "I have time tomorrow at noon. If you’re free, how about I come find you for lunch?"

"Huh? Tomorrow noon?" After being kissed like that, Ye Lingran finally came to her senses and seriously thought for a moment, "Besides having a meeting with a client in the morning, I don’t have much going on tomorrow. The studio took a few orders, but they’re not urgent. Cen Jin and I have already prepared the drafts for two of them, but they’re not finalized yet."

"Alright, then I’ll come find you tomorrow noon. Also, I bought a few boxes of that red tea you love; I’ll bring them over tomorrow noon."

"Okay..."

This topic was messily shifted again, leaving Ye Lingran in a bit of a daze.

Even when recalling last night the next day, Ye Lingran felt it was somewhat surreal, yet especially sweet. At the very least, the barrier between them was completely cleared up, and his words "I like you" really melted into her heart, the four words she’d longed to hear.

In the morning, she met the client scheduled early, and after sending them off, an old customer came in, mentioning that her wedding dress got accidentally torn yesterday and asking for her help to fix it, since the wedding was the next day. Naturally, Ye Lingran couldn’t refuse, so when Yun Qi arrived at noon, she was still dealing with the wedding dress. After explaining the situation to Yun Qi, he smiled helplessly and ordered takeout to eat with her at the studio.

Since Ling Quan and Fan Yunru and the others didn’t have much to do at noon and couldn’t help with the wedding dress, they went out for lunch together at around eleven fifty.

The entire studio was left with just the two of them. During Ye Lingran’s focused work, she couldn’t resist the intense gaze of Yun Qi staring at her. Finally, unable to bear it, she looked up at Yun Qi seated in the hanging chair, "Can you not look at me like that?"

"What’s up?"

"It’s just... it feels a bit unnatural."

"Is that complicated?" Yun Qi chuckled, gesturing with his eyes at the wedding dress on the table.

"It’s okay, but she’s in a hurry to get it by two in the afternoon, so I’m racing against time."

As soon as Ye Lingran finished speaking, Yun Qi’s phone on the table suddenly rang. He picked it up and stood from the hanging chair, "The takeout is here. Come out to eat first!"

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

After Yun Qi left, Ye Lingran quickly finished the last step, took a final look at the dress, which looked great, neatly folded it into a box, tidied the work table, stretched her back, and Yun Qi poked his head through the door asking, "Not done yet?"

"Finished." Ye Lingran smiled gently and walked out briskly, seeing four dishes, two boxes of rice, and two bottles of iced juice on the hexagonal white table in the resting area, suddenly feeling hungry.

"What’s the plan for the afternoon?"

"Afternoon?" Ye Lingran looked up while eating, "I’m pretty free this afternoon. I went to the bookstore yesterday and wanted to buy two books, but I couldn’t carry them since we were going to your parents’ house, so I didn’t buy them. I plan to go back to the bookstore later to purchase those two books."

"Alright, I’ll go with you later."

"Huh, you’ll go with me?"

"Why, don’t want me to?"

"No... Do you not have work this afternoon?"

"No, I don’t."

"That’s quite rare! You’re usually so busy that I barely see you, and today you have a free afternoon."

Yun Qi chuckled lightly, placing a piece of beef in her bowl, "What time do you want to go?"

"After lunch when Ling Quan and the others come back!"

"Alright," Yun Qi acknowledged, noticing she didn’t eat much of the mushroom chicken dish, and asked, "Don’t like chicken?"

"No... it’s just I don’t like mushrooms."

"I should’ve asked you before ordering."

"It’s fine, these dishes are enough."

Shortly after one o’clock, Ling Quan and the others returned, chatting and laughing. They were momentarily stunned seeing Yun Qi sitting there, but greeted with a smile, "President Yun."

Yun Qi nodded and smiled gently at them. Fan Yunru and the others exchanged glances, then sitting at the desk, Ye Lingran walked over, "Yunru, I reviewed the report you did yesterday, and it’s not quite there. Also, Jiang Qi, you used the fabric from area 1A3 yesterday but didn’t register it, so it won’t match the stats at the end of the month. Even though things have been a bit relaxed, your work efficiency has noticeably dropped!"

Fan Yunru and Jiang Qi, who were called out, grinned at her, "I’ll fix it right away, heh, heh, and send it to you again, Sister Ling Ran."

"I’ll register and recount now." Jiang Qi playfully stuck out her tongue, then left with Fan Yunru smiling.

Ye Lingran shook her head helplessly and looked at Ling Quan and Huang Yuting, "The studio is quite laid-back today; tidy up a bit. Miss Zhang’s wedding dress is in my design room, and if there’s nothing by three-thirty, you all can leave early. Keep an eye on the site messages, and call me anytime if there are issues. I’ll head out first."

"Alright, have a great date with President Yun, Sister Ling Ran." Huang Yuting teased with a smile.

Sitting in the resting area, Yun Qi silently laughed, his expression very content.

Ye Lingran rolled her eyes playfully at her, then grabbed her phone and bag and walked to Yun Qi, giving a gentle smile, "Let’s go!"

As she approached, Yun Qi naturally and deftly took her hand, nodded at the others, and boldly led Ye Lingran out of the studio, leaving them in envy.

"Speaking of which, this seems like the first time President Yun and Sister Ling Ran held hands so affectionately in front of us, without caring about our feelings at all." Fan Yunru, holding her files, commented after watching them get into the car.

Huang Yuting nodded, "Indeed, President Yun rarely came to the studio to see Sister Ling Ran before, which always made me feel like their relationship was a mystery. We never heard Sister Ling Ran mention President Yun; it was only reported outside that they were together. But seeing things today, it’s pretty confirmed. Don’t you guys think that scene was familiar?"

"Yeah, I thought so too." Ling Quan nodded, "It’s like when Sister Cen Jin was around; she and Doctor Jiang often did that. This seems like Sister Ling Ran’s first time openly showing affection here."

"+1, no matter how you look at it, Sister Ling Ran and President Yun are a perfect match. It’s making me so envious, I want to fall in love too!" Fan Yunru almost gritted her teeth saying, "Why can’t I have a sweet romance like this? Did I ruin the galaxy in my past life?"

Ling Quan laughed, "Just go with the flow! What’s yours will be yours."

"You’re so Zen about this."

"Well, yeah, you can’t force things like this!" Ling Quan shrugged with a smirk.

"Hey, let’s not chat anymore. Let’s get busy! Just now, Sister Ling Ran said we might get off early today, didn’t she? Since we haven’t started work yet, I’ll take a nap; otherwise, I’ll be drowsy in the afternoon." Huang Yuting chuckled at Fan Yunru’s dejected look and remembered she could leave early for her date today, filling her with delight.
