Chapter 399 Your smile... is so beautiful...
Yu Lingxue was stunned when she heard Yan Lingwen's words. She hadn't expected... that's what he was thinking.
Is he really that kind of person?!
Isn't this a bit too good? Isn't it strange?
"You...you really think that way?"
Yu Lingxue looked at him in disbelief and asked in surprise...
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I give you something like this on our first meeting? I know you're unlikely to accept it, but I just wanted to help you... and... there was also a little selfish motive..."
"What selfish motives?"
"I really...like you..."
"..."
Yu Lingxue was speechless for a moment, her thin lips unable to touch, and her eyes appeared somewhat vacant...
Yan Lingwen continued, "It's because I like you so much that I want to help you. Really, I don't expect anything in return. You know, this little bit of money is nothing to me, but if it can help you, that's enough!"
Yu Lingxue's mind went completely blank at this moment, as if she had crashed and lost the ability to think...
She really didn't know what to say. Yan Lingwen had put things to this point; how could she possibly respond?
"I...I still can't accept it, please don't send it to me."
Yu Lingxue waved her hand, wanting to refuse. She felt she couldn't accept it, even if it might not mean much to Yan Lingwen.
However, she couldn't just accept gifts from others, as that would make her seem materialistic...
She feels embarrassed if someone she knows well gives her a gift, let alone someone she doesn't know well...
And he even said things like he liked me...
Then I definitely can't accept it. If I accept it, wouldn't that mean I'm accepting his affection?
Yan Lingwen held the necklace in her hand, lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed, and said softly:
"I see... Alright then, I won't force you. However, since it's something I gave away, I won't take it back. This already belongs to you, so I'll leave it here. You can take it whenever you want."
Yan Lingwen called over the sales manager and put the necklace back.
Yu Lingxue turned her head away, bit her lip, and kept telling herself not to take what the other person said too seriously...
Is it because I've never dated a man before?
I've already clearly warned myself not to trust the other person, that they might be faking it, but hearing these words still makes me waver a little...
Perhaps it's because she's never heard these kinds of things before...
Afterwards, they left the store and went to browse other places.
During the conversation, the two chatted occasionally, but it was all quite serious. Yan Lingwen talked about the Dongzhu Lingwen Group, and Yu Lingxue listened attentively.
After a while, Yu Lingxue went to the restroom, and Yan Lingwen said he would wait for her outside.
When Yu Lingxue came out, she saw Yan Lingwen standing there with his hands behind his back...
"What's wrong?" Yu Lingxue asked, her brows furrowing slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Can you eat ice cream?
"Huh? Is that okay...? Why do you ask?"
"That's good, because you have a great figure, I imagine you must be very strict with yourself. Well, I can't help you with that..."
Yan Lingwen chuckled, then took out two ice creams from behind his back and handed one to Yu Lingxue...
"what..."
Yu Lingxue blinked, staring blankly at the ice cream in front of her for a moment.
While I was just going to the restroom, Yan Lingwen went to buy ice cream?
I never expected that a rich young master like him would eat such ordinary ice cream... This... isn't it just like a normal date...?
Seeing that Yu Lingxue was still in a daze, Yan Lingwen spoke up:
"Here you go. You won't accept your expensive gift, but please do me the honor of accepting this ice cream. Otherwise it'll melt in a bit, and it would be a waste to throw it away."
"Oh... okay, thank you."
Yu Lingxue didn't want to waste anything, and ice cream didn't cost much, so she accepted it from Yan Lingwen.
She's starting to regret it now; she should have prepared a small gift or something...
Even if I'm just here to put on an act, I can't be impolite...
The other party is giving me gifts and I don't want to owe them any favors...
So Yu Lingxue started to think, if all else fails, she'll find a way to buy a gift to return it.
But they definitely have everything they need, so what can I give them? I can't afford anything too expensive...
"What are you thinking about? Come on, come play with me for a while?"
"Huh? What are we playing?" Yu Lingxue looked up, startled.
Then, she saw Yan Lingwen point to a claw machine arcade across the street...
Playing claw machines?
Is he going to try his luck at playing the claw machine?
Is he really the son of the chairman of Dongzhu Lingwen Group? The content of their date was very ordinary, just like any other ordinary date.
"How about it? You don't think I'm childish, do you? Hahaha..."
"Ah...no, no."
Yu Lingxue shook her head. She didn't find it childish or anything; she was just surprised...
"Let's go then. We can play for a while and then go eat. After we eat, it'll be over! I'll take you home. You must be in a hurry to get back and take care of your mom. I understand. I chose to have a date here so that others could see it, right? That way, you can explain yourself, right?"
Yan Lingwen still wore a kind and understanding smile, which startled Yu Lingxue...
A few seconds later, Yu Lingxue nodded gently and slowly said:
"Hmm, you're... quite thoughtful."
"Really? Hahaha... I'm so happy to hear you compliment me like that, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
The two went to the shop across the street, intending to play for a while...
Yan Lingwen, holding game tokens, stood in front of a machine, pointed to the plush toys inside, and looked at Yu Lingxue, asking:
"Does this look good? Is it easier to grab?"
Yu Lingxue shook her head and said, "I...don't know."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Yan Lingwen inserted a game coin, then concentrated intently on operating the device, moving the joystick to position the mechanical claw directly above a plush toy...
"Snapped--"
After pressing the button, the mechanical claw descended, grabbed the plush toy, and lifted it up...
"I've got it!" Yan Lingwen's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.
As a result, when it reached the very top, the mechanical claw suddenly released its grip, and the doll fell down...
"Damn it..." Yan Lingwen's lips twitched instantly, his forehead hit the glass, and he muttered helplessly.
"Pfft-"
Seeing this, Yu Lingxue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly...
Yan Lingwen suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Lingxue, blinked, and looked quite surprised...
Yu Lingxue felt a little awkward under his gaze, pursed her lips, and asked, "What...?"
"Your smile...is so beautiful..."
