Yi Lian Qian broke into a happy smile when she saw the delicious dessert. She impatiently picked up her fork and started eating. She didn't care about her ladylike image and immediately started eating bite after bite.
Hmm, the Black Forest Cake really melted in his mouth. The sweetness was moderate and not disgusting at all!
"Well…Canjie was right. The pastries in this shop are really delicious.”Yi Lianqian winked at Ou Longtao in satisfaction.
She excitedly picked up the fruit juice on the table and took another sip. Even the sweetness of the drink made her want more.
"Your habit of eating desserts hasn't changed at all.”In the past, she liked to eat cake very much, but no matter how much she ate, she would never gain weight. Instead, she would eat with her until she gained weight.
"Of course, this is a delicacy. You should try it too. It's really delicious!”Desserts were not meant to be placed on the table for people to admire.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Ou Longtao smiled and handed the cake to her.
Yi Lianqian gulped." No, I already ate one just now. This is yours."”It was rare for her to reject the temptation of desserts that were delivered to her door. In fact, she was just holding on.
"I haven't touched sweets for a while. If you want to eat, take it!”She looked like she was about to drool. After all these years, her naive behavior was still like a child's, making people want to laugh.
"Really?" Yi Lianqian beamed with joy.
"Eat!" Ou Longtao nodded.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Since he had already said so, why should she be polite?
Yi Lianqian picked up her fork and went for the second piece of cake with a satisfied expression.
"It's really delicious. Are you really not going to eat it?”She asked him after stuffing a mouthful into her mouth. She did not have the reserved aura of a woman at all.
Ou Longtao shook his head. "I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"Why haven't you had a boyfriend all these years? With your looks, a bunch of men would come knocking on your door with just a casual hook. Why aren't there any?”
" It's all your fault, I-" Yi Lianqian suddenly shut her mouth. She raised her eyes and glared at Ou Longtao as if he was a terrifying monster.
"What about me?" Why did it suddenly stop?
"It's nothing. I just don't want to hand it over."
"Why not?"
"Aiyo, why do you men always like to ask such questions?”Yi Lianqian put down the fork in her hand and instantly lost the mood to enjoy the delicious food because Ou Longtao had asked a question she shouldn't have asked.
She really didn't dare to let him know that he was the main culprit behind her not having a boyfriend. How could he disappear from her eyes after making a promise?
How could she tell him that there was no other man in her heart besides him?
"Because men want to know." Ou Longtao stared at her with his bright black eyes.
"Shall we go to the movies later? I haven't been to the movies in a long time.”Yi Lian looked around and said.
Ou Longtao knew that she didn't want to answer." I'm not interested in movies.”
"You have to watch it even if you're not interested. Who taught you to have a girlfriend who likes to watch movies?”Yi Lian acted coquettishly.
"Oh? When did I get a girlfriend? Why didn't I know?”
Yi Lianqian pouted." You've already eaten it and you're still not taking responsibility? You're too much!”Yi Lianqian said pitifully.
"Eat?" This woman's adjectives were really bold." We've only kissed, not eaten…Oh, could it be that you're hinting to me…that I can eat you?”Ou Longtao leaned forward and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You're so annoying. You only know how to insult me!”Yi Lianqian protested in a delicate voice. In front of Ou Longtao, she was completely acting like a little woman.
Ou Longtao had a different feeling when he saw this.
"How could I dare to tease my good Lianqian, I just couldn't help it. I really want to touch you, but before I get your permission, I don't dare to act rashly. In the past two months, I've been holding back.”
Yi Lianqian lowered her head, her shyness written all over her face." Not all women are hearing animals. Your words are too mushy. Let's change the topic!”
"Are you afraid?" He didn't want her to do as she wished and insisted on stopping the topic at the starting point. His goal was to know her reaction.
"What, what am I afraid of?"
"Afraid that I would touch you." Ou Longtao stretched out his big palm to touch her face, but she shyly avoided it.
Tao was deliberately looking for trouble!
Yi Lianqian looked left and right, hoping to break the awkward atmosphere. Suddenly, a seductive woman swaggered towards her. It was a familiar face.
"Tao, what a coincidence to meet you here!”Without asking for their opinions, Xiao Jingyi sat down beside Yi Lianqian, not knowing how to be polite at all.
When she sat down, she deliberately elbowed Yi Lianqian, as if she was trying to show off.
She turned around and pretended to be surprised as she looked at Yi Lianqian." Lianqian, why is it you? When I came in just now, I didn't even notice you. I only had Tao in my eyes. You won't blame me, right?”
Yi Lian Qian smiled insincerely.
The strong smell of perfume assailed her nose like poison. She couldn't stand it anymore. Xiao Jingyi had poured several bottles of perfume on her!
"Your perfume smells good."
"Is that so? I've already wiped very little today, but you can still smell it.”As she spoke, she winked at Ou Longtao.
Anyone with a nose could smell it. It was fine if this woman couldn't hear the hidden meaning in her words, but she even pretended to be humble. She really lost to her.
Yi Lianqian forced a smile." Why are you here?”
"I was shopping with my friends just now and happened to see the two of you, so I came over to say hello!”
Her eyes never left Ou Longtao after she sat down.
" Oh…" Yi Lianqian turned around and looked around." Where are your friends?”
"He went back first."
She wasn't stupid. When she saw Ou Longtao and Yi Lianqian, her mind wasn't on shopping anymore. After coaxing the man who was shopping with her to go home, she began to guess their relationship.
Everyone knew that Ou Longtao was interested in Yi Lianqian when he was young. Now that the two of them had met because of the class reunion, it was hard to guarantee that Ou Longtao would not fall for Yi Lianqian again!
No, she would never allow such a thing to happen. As long as she, Xiao Jingyi, couldn't have a man, other women couldn't!
She would never give up Ou Longtao, this gold mine and silver mountain!
Ou Longtao saw Xiao Jingyi's charming eyes and knew what she was thinking.
This woman had deliberately come here to pick a fight and openly teased him in front of Yi Lianqian. Unfortunately, he did not fall for her tricks at all.
Facing a woman he didn't like, he had no interest in seeing what tricks she was playing.
"Tao, you're so annoying. Didn't you say you weren't free tonight? I don't care. Since I've seen it, you have to include me in your plans tonight.”In front of her love rival, Xiao Jingyi tried her best to seduce Ou Longtao.
Yi Lianqian shrugged her shoulders at Ou Longtao, indicating that she did not want to join this war. She would let him deal with this Flower Peacock by himself!
"Let's go!" Ou Longtao stood up and held Yi Lian Qian's hand. He picked up the bill and walked towards the counter, completely ignoring Xiao Jingyi's existence.
In this critical period, he would not allow anyone to ruin his plans. Lang Yao's rotten ideas would only harm him. Xiao Jingyi was a complete destroyer. She had no intention of being a construction worker.
Yi Lianqian followed him blankly. She thought that there would be a good show to watch!
She knew that Xiao Jingyi's target had already locked onto Ou Longtao. The reason why she wasn't in a hurry to chase him away was because Xiao Jingyi's existence could help her test whether he would be mesmerized by the temptations of other women.
However, the answer was very certain. He did not like Xiao Jingyi!
Yi Lianqian followed behind Ou Longtao, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Ou Longtao actually disregarded her charm and generously took Yi Lianqian's hand and left. This man was really despicable to the extreme!
Staring at the backs of the two leaving, Xiao Jingyi flew into a rage out of humiliation and suddenly raised a gloomy smile.
No matter what Ou Longtao's attitude was, he would eventually be in her hands. As for that woman Yi Lianqian, she would definitely think of a way to get rid of her!
"Is this your home?" Yi Lianqian's eyes were filled with shock and astonishment, just like Granny Liu strolling through the Grand View Garden. She never thought that Ou Longtao's residence would be so magnificent. All the decorations that she could see were adorned with golden colors, giving it a royal nobility and elegance.
Such a high-class villa was simply a house that ordinary people dreamed of!
"Do you like what you see? This will be your home from now on." Ou Longtao held Yi Lianqian's hand as they walked towards the yellow leather sofa.
He was not in a hurry to show her around every corner of the place because there was no need for it. He was afraid that she would not have the fortune to enjoy it even if she saw it.
In his eyes, this villa was just a dispensable decoration. In order to make Yi Lianqian believe in his love for her, these scenes were part of his revenge plan.
Tonight, Yi Lianqian would be the highlight of the show!
"My house?" Yi Lianqian blinked in confusion and looked around curiously.
"Yes, your home." Ou Longtao smiled gently." This villa will be our residence in the future.”Only a woman who was pretending to be stupid could not hear such a clear proposal.
Ou Longtao revealed a sarcastic smile.
" You…When did I promise you…" Yi Lianqian's cheeks instantly flushed red.
"Promise me what, hmm?" Ou Longtao's charming voice was like a glass of mellow wine, intoxicating people.
"Aren't you…proposing to me?”Enthralled by Ou Longtao's gentle gaze, she couldn't tell north from south.
"Propose? No, I didn't propose to you.”
"You…Damn it, then what do you mean by saying that this villa is my house?”Was he deliberately messing with her?
Ou Longtao smiled and didn't answer. He took her hand and walked into the dining room. There was red wine and steak on the dining table, as well as a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Flowers and red wine, just missing a ring was equivalent to a proposal. Could it be that she had guessed it correctly and Tao was planning to propose to her?
" This kind of arrangement, could it be that you…"
"What about me?"
"What's wrong with you today? Are you deliberately messing with me?”The way he pretended to be stupid was really annoying!
However, despite her dislike, her entire mind was on the flowers and red wine in front of her.
W-wouldn't this be too fast? They hadn't been dating for long, but he already had the idea of getting married, so she wasn't mentally prepared at all.
Should she…agree to his request?
There had been no warning at all. What should she do in the face of this sudden impact?
"How would I dare? You're my future wife. If I wanted to mess with you, wouldn't that be too tactless?”A sparkling diamond ring appeared in Ou Longtao's hands.
Ou Longtao had put in a lot of effort into this arrangement. Now, the net he had cast had reached the stage of acceptance. Tonight's highlight, the proposal, would completely change his life and Yi Lianqian's future.
Looking at the dazzling diamond ring, Yi Lianqian could only blink her eyes continuously. This was all too unbelievable!
He was really proposing to her, and he even had a diamond ring!
Wasn't this man's footsteps a little too fast? It made her feel a little breathless.
"Promise to marry me, okay?" Ou Longtao gazed tenderly at the shy Yi Lianqian.
"Isn't this a little too fast? We've only been dating for more than two months!”
"No, I don't think it's too fast. On the contrary, I think it's very slow. Ever since I was a child, I've always dreamed of marrying you. I've been looking forward to this dream for so long that I can't believe how much I love you. I don't want to waste any more time. I want to have you for real and make you my wife.”
" I, I…" Yi Lianqian was so stunned that she couldn't speak. At this moment, her eyes could only contain Ou Longtao's eyes that were as deep as the sea.
His eyes seemed to be able to frighten people's souls, making her almost nod and agree to his proposal.
But no, she had to be clear-headed. She could not be blinded by his sweet words.
The two of them had indeed dated too quickly. She was afraid that this speed would make her feel unreal!
"Is it because I'm not good enough that you're hesitating?”Her hesitation surprised Ou Longtao, but perhaps she wanted to keep her woman's reservedness and make things difficult for him, so she agreed.
Looking at the situation, he had to work harder.
He had carefully planned this revenge plan for a long time. From the moment he was rejected in public, all he wanted was to take revenge on this cruel and two-faced woman.
Now that his plan was about to succeed, he could not give up halfway. He had to make Yi Lianqian agree to marry him today.
"No, it isn't."
"Am I not romantic enough?"
"How could that be? You've carefully prepared flowers, red wine, and rings. It's difficult for a woman not to be moved by such a romantic proposal.”
" But you're not moved…" Ou Longtao showed a disappointed expression.
Yi Lianqian hurriedly shook her head and denied it. Seeing his disappointment, she could not help but feel her heart ache. She leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips.
Ou Longtao took the opportunity to deepen the kiss and tried to move her with emotion.
"Promise me, okay?" Ou Longtao didn't want to give up and moved his position. His hot breath sprayed on her neck.
Yi Lianqian's entire body was heating up, and she felt her brain was in a mess. She was unable to think at all, and could only allow Ou Longtao to continue kissing her.
" No, we can't go any further…" Yi Lianqian panted as she placed her hands on his chest, creating a distance between them.
This detestable man actually planned to use this trick to make her submit obediently. It was simply too uncomfortable!
The dazed Ou Longtao stared at Yi Lianqian with misty eyes." Why did you stop?”
"We can't go on like this. If we continue, something will happen!”
"I hope something happens, okay?"
"No." Yi Lianqian shook her head.
God, resisting the alluring him was simply a big test. He was so domineering as to ask for her true heart that she almost couldn't withstand it.
Ou Longtao looked at her and found that she had a pair of clear eyes that were filled with embarrassment and uneasiness. And he was like a wild beast that had unleashed its bestial nature, covetously wanting to eat her in one bite.
He calmed himself down slightly and tried to get closer to her, but she took a big step back and looked at him uneasily.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you without your permission.”
"Really?" she asked shyly.
"I swear on my character that I couldn't help myself just now. There won't be a next time.”
"Yes!" Yi Lianqian lowered her long eyelashes.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. It wasn't that she didn't want to give it to him, but under such circumstances, she felt that she should stay clear-headed so that she wouldn't be eaten by Tao in a daze.
After all, marriage was a lifelong matter. How could she not be more careful!
"Lianqian, I think you don't love me, so you won't agree to my proposal.”His disappointed face revealed even more desolation, but it was only for a moment. From an angle that Yi Lianqian could not see, his aggrieved face curled up into an evil smile.
"It's not like that!" Yi Lianqian was anxious to explain. Being misunderstood was not a good feeling.
Ou Longtao placed his hands on Yi Lianqian's thin shoulders." I hope to get a satisfactory answer from you. Don't disappoint me, alright?"”
"You, how are you going to answer this question…Can you give me some time to think? This happened too suddenly." She was very uneasy. On the one hand, she was afraid that her answer would make him unhappy. On the other hand, it was because of her own mood.
She could have agreed to it quickly, but she hesitated when she raised the chess piece.
She always felt a little uneasy in her heart. In the short two months that they had been together, he had been very gentle and considerate. Not only did he teach her how to swim and play tennis, but he also took her to watch the night scene, the sunrise and sunset, and other things that touched her. However, could all of this be an illusion of gentleness? When she suddenly woke up, all of this had become an illusory dream?
She was so scared, really scared. Now, she could finally understand the conflicting feelings of Zhiqin and Menglan back then, because women in love would also taste the ups and downs.
The difference was that fate and the future were in her own hands. When a woman made any decision, it meant that her future was tightly tied to her own thoughts.
Her future was now on two ends of the scale, swaying up and down.
" Lianqian, I'm not joking about tonight's proposal. You've always been my dream bride. I'm really happy to be able to reconcile with you again. In order not to let you slip away from my hands again, I've spent a lot of effort to arrange this proposal, but you don't seem to appreciate it. Perhaps I didn't do well enough, so you can't entrust your future to me.”Seeing that Yi Lianqian's mind had started to waver, Ou Longtao acted according to the situation.
Tonight, he could only succeed and not fail. He would not allow Yi Lianqian to say no!
Yi Lianqian remained silent.
Ou Longtao sighed." Forget it, forget about what happened today. I was too impatient. Come, the steak is cold. I'm hungry. Let's eat!”
Yi Lianqian's heart softened when she saw his dejected look." Actually, it's not that I don't agree…"
"So you agree?" Ou Longtao was so happy that he cheered loudly. His expression was as if he had gone from hell to heaven.
"I…actually, sometimes I feel that all of this isn't real. I'm so afraid that I'll wake up from my dream one day and you won't be by my side.”It was just like those heart-wrenching days in the past. The person who promised to protect her for a lifetime suddenly disappeared, teaching her how to adapt to the future?
No, that kind of day was enough.
"No, I will stay by your side forever. We will live for a long time.”Ou Longtao held her hands and continued to pursue her. He knew that as long as he worked harder and persuaded her with his glib tongue, Yi Lianqian would nod and agree.
Yi Lian Qian finally smiled in relief. His promise was like a shot in the arm, making her nod her head and agree without feeling conflicted.
Ou Longtao cheered and tightly locked her in his arms.#
