Chapter 189: Chapter 189: It’s Okay to Be a Little Stupid (6)

"Hmph! No time!" Su Yanyi, seeing this blockhead finally get a clue, wasn’t exactly pleased and haughtily huffed, then turned around and walked away.

Qin Jiran was dumbfounded. It felt like she was angry, but it actually seemed more like she was throwing a little tantrum. How should he comfort her!

Qin Jiran hurried after her, no longer so slow to react. He reached straight out to grab Su Yanyi’s hand and said, "Don’t be mad. Whenever you have time, I’ll wait. Tonight, I’ll make a big meal for you, okay?"

This was a clear case of appealing to emotion and enticing with benefits. The oblivious blockhead from just a moment ago, could he really have become so clever and cunning!

Su Yanyi glanced at Qin Jiran, her eyebrows arching slightly, her chin proudly raised, and said, "Then you just wait until tomorrow; when I have time, I’ll come find you."

Qin Jiran wanted to laugh, but he didn’t dare. He was afraid that laughing might not let him off so easily. He knew well that Yanyi was very prideful; teasing her was absolutely an invitation for a lesson.

"Alright, I’ll come find you at the company tomorrow afternoon after I finish filming. Just let me know whenever you have time." Qin Jiran was naturally compliant with Su Yanyi, without any temper at all. Seeing her like this, he found her even more adorable, his heart felt soft, and he really wanted to hug Yanyi so.

With a heart moved, Qin Jiran’s eyes on Su Yanyi gained an extra shade of sentiment, along with a touch of restraint, and his hold on her hand tightened.

"Yanyi..." Qin Jiran called out softly, then with a slight effort, pulled Su Yanyi into his embrace and gently lifted her up.

Qin Jiran wasn’t forceful, nor was he particularly quick, in this process. Su Yanyi could have resisted or declined, but obviously, she had no such intention; instead, she went along with it, letting the man gather her into his arms, her hands lightly resting on his waist.

The familiar scent and the comforting warmth wasn’t strange. It made her feel at ease, even a little sweet and blissful.

"You really are a blockhead." Su Yanyi knew she had been a bit willful just now, but wilfulness was somewhat unfamiliar to her, or to be precise, the act of deliberately pretending to be angry, when she was actually okay, was something her past self would never do. Those girlish airs she once disdained now came naturally to her.

Thinking about how she had just behaved, Su Yanyi’s face turned a little red, a rare shy flush spreading across her cheeks.

Qin Jiran looked down just in time to see Su Yanyi’s tenderly blushing face, making his heart race even faster. He hugged her tighter, nuzzling against her hair with his head, savoring the scent that belonged to Yanyi, a scent he cherished deeply.

"Yanyi, I’m always this clumsy, I’ve upset you." Qin Jiran, whose attempts at dating seemed awkward, was a bit annoyed with himself. He always wanted to win Yanyi’s favor, to make her like him more, yet he was so helplessly inept that it made him anxious. What if one day Yanyi truly grew tired of his clumsiness?

The man’s voice was low, his words obviously heartfelt, leaving Yanyi suddenly a bit at a loss. Her intention was just to make Qin Jiran a little anxious, not to dampen his spirits so suddenly!

"I’m not upset, and it’s good that you’re a bit slow, so no one will steal you away." Seeing his spirits low, Su Yanyi set aside her teasing, even her attempts at consolation made one smile despite themselves.

Qin Jiran felt quite the fool, but then he thought, if Yanyi said she wasn’t afraid of others stealing him away, could the meaning behind that be that Yanyi cared very much about others stealing his affection?

Qin Jiran thought of Wang Zhilin; that woman clearly had some feelings for him, but those feelings weren’t pure affection, rather they were tangled with too many complicated thoughts, complex enough to disgust him. Yanyi disliked that woman as well, could it be that her dislike included jealousy because that woman had feelings for him?

With that thought, Qin Jiran’s mood lifted and turned joyful. His change in expression didn’t escape Su Yanyi’s notice, and she immediately felt her consolation had worked. Her heart relaxed, finding that the man was rather easy to appease; she’d only said something offhand and he was already happier.

Oh, she wondered if this could be considered a lovely misunderstanding, or perhaps, it was indeed the reality?
