Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Date

"Where are we going?" asked Su Yanyi, curious as the car zigzagged down the road for a while, wondering where Qin Jiran was taking her.

"Can we start with dinner?" In preparation for their evening date, Qin Jiran had put a lot of thought into it, but the agenda still had to begin with dinner. After all, he knew that Yanyi really did have a fondness for good food.

As soon as food was mentioned, Yanyi’s eyes indeed lit up, but she hesitated and said very seriously, "I prefer what you cook."

Although she had eaten many delicacies, Yanyi couldn’t tell if her taste had dramatically changed after being reborn or if Jiran’s cooking was truly that exquisite. However, she knew that her favorite dishes were the ones prepared by Jiran. Every time she ate his cooking, she couldn’t get enough, which made her feel like she had been gaining weight lately.

Qin Jiran’s smile was warm and filled with satisfaction. Yanyi’s words were the greatest recognition he could receive.

"Don’t worry, you’ll see once we get there," Qin Jiran said cheerfully. Yanyi’s words only confirmed to him that Zhan Minghui was an unreliable playboy. It seemed that he understood Yanyi’s preferences better than anyone else. He resolved never to consult with an advisor again, especially since Yanyi had articulated exactly what he had been thinking.

The two chatted leisurely until they soon reached their destination—a famed artificial sea buffet restaurant known for its variety of seafood and particularly its complete self-service cooking experience. It wasn’t the traditional dining table set-up but resembled a seaside barbecue instead.

When they arrived, there were already some customers inside. Qin Jiran had added a hat to his outfit, which concealed most of his face, and the restaurant covered a large area with many different sections that offered a good deal of privacy. The area Qin Jiran had reserved was the most secluded. Once they picked their desired seafood and beverages, nobody paid them any attention. The atmosphere was optimal, discreet, and most importantly, they could cook for themselves—this was why Qin Jiran had chosen this place.

Su Yanyi clearly enjoyed this arrangement and eagerly selected a variety of foods, while Qin Jiran followed her with an adoring gaze, helping her carry the trays.

Apart from choosing the food, Qin Jiran took care of all the preparatory work before they ate, while Su Yanyi sat quietly by, watching him busily cook for her. She felt a warm pride swell within her heart.

Look, the man she had chosen was so outstanding. No wonder Wang Zhilin was so desperate to have him. It was true that she hadn’t cherished him in her past life, but this time around, she would never let go of Qin Jiran. He belonged to her, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to take him away.

Thinking of Wang Zhilin reminded Yanyi of the Wang Family, who had been rather boisterous lately. Their collaboration with the elder of the Qin family had failed due to her and Jiran’s counterattack, but they had still been in touch, which emboldened the Wang Family even more.

However, their arrogance wouldn’t last long. The evidence she held, combined with what Qin Jiran had collected, may not be enough to completely dismantle the Wang Family, but it was more than sufficient to take down one or two members. She wondered who the Wang Family would sacrifice when the time came.

There was plenty of evidence of the Wang Family’s illegal activities, but most of it didn’t specify individuals. If the Wangs were willing to sacrifice a pawn to save the chariot, they could offer up someone to take the blame, allowing the others temporary safety.

Of course, Su Yanyi wasn’t concerned about this detail. Her goal was to gradually weaken the Wang Family, forcing them to watch their empire crumble to nothing and to let them experience the same despair and helplessness.

As her thoughts turned to the Wang Family, Su Yanyi’s expression grew colder. Qin Jiran, very perceptive, sensed the change and looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Su Yanyi very tacitly understood the man’s intention, her voice cold as she said, "The Wang Family."

Qin Jiran also furrowed his brows, obviously very annoyed by the Wang Family, who had indeed caused him a lot of trouble.

"Tomorrow is the class reunion, and it’s very possible that Wang Zhilin will go. She’s bound to cause trouble." He hadn’t thought much of Wang Zhilin before, but ever since he knew that Yanyi despised her, and with all the recent antics of the Wang Family, he found even the mention of her name distasteful.

"She’s courting death." Su Yanyi was very unkind in her assessment of Wang Zhilin. If the enemy were in the shadows, perhaps she would be careless and get schemed against, but now that her enemy stood in the light, it meant she had a target she could take down at any time. If it weren’t for her reluctance to let her adversary die too easily, she would have dealt with her long ago.

Though Su Yanyi spoke with murderous intent and overwhelming confidence, for some reason, to Qin Jiran, she appeared dazzlingly attractive, as if her entire being was shining brilliantly.

He couldn’t deny that he adored this kind of demeanor in Yanyi, as if she looked down on everyone in the world, always so self-assured and aloof, making people want to submit to her.

Qin Jiran, somewhat uncontrollably, reached out and gently grasped those slender and fair fingers, devoutly pressing a quick kiss upon them before swiftly pulling away.

Qin Jiran had realized what he was doing as he kissed her, but by then it was too late. After the swift retreat, it seemed only the thudding of his heartbeat remained, nervously looking at Su Yanyi, his eyes filled with worry, yet also expectation.

Their current relationship, was it permissible for him to be so presumptuous, to approach her just that little bit closer, with his long-secret affection, carefully and earnestly, very much hoping that his kiss wouldn’t be despised?

"Is it okay?" Qin Jiran asked, his voice hoarse.

Su Yanyi was indeed surprised but not the slightest bit disgusted or offended. She merely raised her eyebrows slightly and looked deeply at Qin Jiran, her tone slightly haughty as she said, "Of course."

Ever since she had decided not to divorce this man, she had already agreed to let him live in her world, to enjoy her protection, share her emotions; she agreed that this man could, with rights that no one else could possibly have, love her, take care of her, even approach her, touch her!

And at this moment, Qin Jiran’s emotions could only be described as ecstatic, his heart no longer thumping from nervousness but throbbing with satisfied expectation.

Yanyi, with such an answer, can I hope for even more, perhaps, we really can have a beautiful future together?
