Yan was well fed from breakfast. She felt like she was floating from the make-out session before. When Han Qing asked her again, she changed her response and admitted that she had skipped breakfast before coming. She said it pitifully so that Han Qing would pity her too. Then… Han Qing placed a lot of food in front of her and ordered her to finish it all.
“There’s so much! How can I finish it all?” Yan was screaming for help deep down. She would not have told him that she had skipped breakfast if she knew this would happen.
“Finish it all. Otherwise, you’ll faint later.”
Yan did not dare to defy his orders, so she was left with no choice but to stuff the food into her mouth. However, she was indeed hungry and this meal was the breakfast lovingly prepared by her crush. As he had prepared everything himself, Yan was quite satisfied. After eating, her stomach was a little bloated. She leaned back against her seat and could not help touching her stomach. Her expression showed that she was in slight discomfort.
“Have you eaten too much?” Han Qing frowned and asked.
Yan wanted to say no, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she burped. Shocked, she was completely frozen in place while she sat there wide-eyed in disbelief. Just now… Did that sound come out of my mouth? How could I make such a shameful noise in front of Han Qing?
After recovering her senses, Yan quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and did not dare to look directly into Han Qing’s eyes. Eventually, she thought of the words Han Qing had said to her just now and that kiss. He wanted her to not be so cautious and she took his advice. Maybe, I could try to resolve this matter myself?
Thinking of this, Yan gave a cheeky cough and looked at him charmingly. “It’s all your fault. I’m so full now.” The implication behind her words was that if he had not told her to eat so much, she would not have made such a shameful noise.
When the young lady started complaining, Han Qing was slightly startled and looked at her. The young lady was sitting at the dining table wearing his large shirt that sat loosely on her. She had her hands on her legs, nervously grabbing the corner of her clothes while looking out the window. She had a little powder on her fair face, and when he looked at her, there seemed to be a light in her eyes.
Han Qing’s thin lips inexplicably twitched. “Yes, I’m the one to blame. Then, should we get some exercise to digest all the food?”
For some reason, when she heard those words, Yan thought of something else instead. Her face immediately turned red even though she knew what Han Qing meant was not what she was thinking. It was just that her mind suddenly went off in the wrong direction. Thinking of this, Yan immediately shook her head and got rid of all the abnormal thoughts in her mind. Then, she firmly nodded. “Okay.”
The two of them then went out for a walk. It was a wealthy area. However, after the place was bought over and turned into a townhouse, security facilities were prepared. Generally, except for the residents here, no one could come in here so casually. When Yan came over, she was only let in after the security personnel recognized her.
As it was a Sunday, many people were still resting. The quiet paths were planted with grass and trees. Plus, the air was particularly good here. Yan noticed that several people were jogging. She had initially thought that there would be no one jogging at this hour. She did not expect to stumble into a few joggers not long after she and Han Qing came out for their walk. Furthermore, a few people only just started jogging. She was feeling a little dispirited. Shouldn’t people get up earlier to jog? Isn’t jogging at this hour too hot?
As she was thinking about it, a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly ran toward her. After glancing at his figure, she subconsciously shrank next to Han Qing to make way for the jogger.
Unexpectedly, the man stopped not far in front of them and walked toward them while wiping his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck. “President Han.”
They know each other? Yan thought in her heart. She then silently moved away from Han Qing before she was held by him once more after taking only two steps. Startled, she stopped moving immediately.
It was probably because they had walked quite a distance, so his palms were very hot—so hot that they almost burned her. Yan took a deep breath and suppressed all the random thoughts in her heart.
Han Qing nodded slightly when he looked at the man who had just approached them. “Are you on your morning run, President Chen?”
“Yes, I am. I’m getting on in years now. The people at home are saying that I’m too fat, so they made me get out here to exercise so that I don’t get obese and won’t get sick so easily.” After speaking, he smiled and wiped off his sweat. Then, his gaze shifted to Yan as he sized her up. “You are?”
Yan, who was suddenly called out, became a little nervous as she bit her lip subconsciously. She was wondering how Han Qing would introduce her to other people. Would he say that I’m his girlfriend or that we’re just ordinary friends?
Soon enough, she felt his big hand that was holding her tightening. Then, she heard Han Qing’s faint voice that made her heart pound. “This is my girlfriend. This is your first time meeting each other. Say hello to President Chen,” Han Qing was looking at his girlfriend like a guardian while he said softly.
Yan quickly returned to her senses and nervously squeezed out a smile at the middle-aged man in front of them. “Hello, President Chen. My name is Zhou Xiaoyan.” She was probably nervous as she bowed slightly after greeting him.
President Chen’s gaze on her changed as he grinned, nodding in approval. “President Han indeed has a good taste. This young lady is very charming. We even thought that you wouldn’t be looking for anyone, but we didn’t expect that you’ve quietly found one already.”
Moreover, Han Qing seemed to care a lot for her. From afar, he could see Han Qing, who was known to have no close contact with any woman, taking the initiative to hold the young lady’s hand. After that, he even introduced her to him.
After speaking, President Chen looked at Yan again and smiled. “This is a rare occurrence, so young lady, you must cherish this well. He’s not only the target of many women in his company but even in my company group as well.”
Yan blushed and nodded awkwardly.
Han Qing then reminded the man nonchalantly, “Since you’ve finished your run, shouldn’t you go back, President Chen? We’re taking a walk to digest our food, so we’ll be taking our leave first.”
He had always been cold and kept his distance from others. He always made people upset in the beginning, but they got used to it after knowing he treated everyone the same. Besides, he was also on point when it came to manners. Although he gave out a cold vibe, he would greet back if someone greeted him. In short, no one could find fault in him.
As such, President Chen immediately nodded his head. “Okay, then you guys continue your walk. I’ll go home first.”
After walking a little further, Yan could not help but lower her head and glance at the way they were holding hands. She did not think that the two of them would now be together since not long ago she threw a temper and went on a blind date, wanting to marry herself off. I just don’t know if he’ll keep holding my hand as we continue to move forward.
