She said, "It's just common social etiquette. Besides, he's Lianyi's friend."
"I know, but you couldn't take your eyes off him just now," he said.
"I... I was just curious. After all, he doesn't look like Lianyi's colleague. Besides, you're the one I love. I'm not interested in other men at all!" Ling Yiran explained quickly.
He looked at her with a smile as if he had gotten her to say this.
Ling Yiran blushed again.
Yi Jinli leaned over slightly. Moving a little closer, he said, "Yiran, say it again." His husky voice was full of temptation.
Ling Yiran's face became even redder. Even after so many years, she would still blush and her heart would still pound whenever she saw him behaving this way—just as she did at the beginning.
"You're the one I love," said Ling Yiran.
"Say it again." His voice grew hoarser, strumming her heartstrings.
"You're the one I love. You're the one I love..."
She repeated it over and over again as he wished.
On the other side, Yulai Bai, who was choosing cakes with Qin Lianyi, stared at his right hand. He felt like he was still in shock.
"Is that man... Yi Jinli?" Wanting confirmation, he could not help asking Qin Lianyi in a whisper.
"Yep," Qin Lianyi nodded and said.
Qin Lianyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt at ease with Bai Yulai.
Since the blind date, she and Bai Yulai had asked each other out several times but the two of them seemed more like friends.
She felt no pressure when she was with Bai Yulai. They got along, but there was just no chemistry.
When she told her parents about it at home, her mother had advised her earnestly, "Chemistry? Finding the right partner for marriage is all that matters. You can slowly develop feelings. How many people fall in love at first sight?"
'Is he the right one?
'Bai Yulai and I are friends, but can we make suitable marriage partners? Can I… really develop feelings for him in the future?
'And what about Bai Yulai? Will he love me too? Or is he just looking for the ‘right’ marriage partner?'
