As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Lan staring blankly at a table full of delicious dishes, her face very pale. Seeing him, a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes. She timidly said, “Luo Xuan, I spent the afternoon preparing these dishes. Can you sit down and eat a little with me?”
Looking at her expectant face, Luo Xuan couldn’t bring himself to refuse and simply said, “Okay!”
Lin Lan’s face instantly lit up with a brilliant smile, and her heart finally let out a sigh of relief. She knew she had succeeded; Luo Xuan had changed his mind. As long as she put in a little more effort, their relationship would return to how it was before.
Luo Xuan was from Shandong and grew up by the sea. It was clear that Lin Lan had put a lot of thought into these dishes, all of which were his favorite seafood: crab roe, chrysanthemum fish, spicy crawfish, steamed perch, and seafood puff pastry soup. Luo Xuan was somewhat touched. Looking at Lin Lan, he noticed she had lost weight, her chin more pointed, and he realized she hadn’t been eating or sleeping well, her heart entirely focused on him. Luo Xuan sighed silently.
He remembered the first time he saw Lin Lan, when she first reported to the company, standing prettily before him with a flower-like smile.
He wasn’t unaware of her feelings, nor had he never been moved, but when he saw Chu Yi at the company’s Christmas dance, his heart was captivated! She looked so ethereal and melancholic, naturally evoking sympathy. Later, he was also convinced by her talent. Now thinking about it, perhaps his feelings were more admiration than love? So, he ultimately chose Lin Lan, who was devoted to him!
Coming back to his senses, seeing Lin Lan continuously adding food to his bowl, Luo Xuan’s heart was complex. He was no longer angry with her, but he couldn’t forgive her so quickly! He reluctantly ate a few bites, put down his chopsticks, and stood up, “I’m done eating.”
“Luo Xuan!” Lin Lan suddenly hugged him from behind, her body tightly pressed against his back, her lips kissing his earlobe and neck, her hands reaching around from the front into his clothes, gently caressing his chest, murmuring, “Luo Xuan, don’t leave me! Don’t!”
