Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Jiang Xin Confesses
“Sister Xin, you look so beautiful today!”
Ye Xian sincerely exclaimed. Jiang Xin slightly lowered her head, shyly covering her mouth to giggle, “Why are you so sweet? Do you say that to every girl you meet?”
“Not at all, they would have to be at least one percent as beautiful as you, Sister Xin.”
Jiang Xin’s ears blushed so much they seemed almost to drip. So that means… he really likes her looks?
Ye Xian: “But aren’t you afraid of being recognized ?”
“It’s okay, this restaurant has stringent confidentiality. They won’t casually disclose the privacy of guests, and on weekends they serve at most three tables per day. Today, as far as I know, there are only two tables.”
Ye Xian looked around and indeed saw that the entire restaurant was empty, except for a spot three meters behind him where the tip of some glossy black leather men’s shoes poke out. Following the line of the suit pants up, the figure was completely hidden by flowers and greenery.
Seeing his cautious demeanor, Jiang Xin comforted him, “Don’t worry; the clients of this restaurant are either rich or noble, and most are couples on dates. They are too immersed in their own little worlds to have any interest in the gossip surrounding stars.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Ye Xian relaxed and took off his mask, looking at the table filled with rare and fine delicacies, feeling a bit embarrassed, “You’ve gone to too much expense. I should have been the one treating you, especially since you’ve been taking care of me on set.”
“It’s no problem.” Jiang Xin picked up the cutlery, carefully cutting a piece of black pepper steak and offering it to him with a smile on her lips, “Next time, it’ll be your turn to treat me~”
Jiang Xin was so kind and enthusiastic, genuinely treating her as a good friend. But Ye Xian had to tell her ‘we should see each other less from now on.’
Ye Xian found it difficult to start.
But some things must be said, otherwise the impact on both of them would only grow larger.
Ye Xian picked up the cutlery and forked a piece of tender steak into her mouth, chewing meticulously as she contemplated how to begin.
Jiang Xin also touched the gift box in her hand, shame and hesitation surfacing in her eyes.
“Jiang Xin, I have something to tell you!”
“Ye Xian, I have something to tell you!”
Almost simultaneously, they said the exact same thing.
Ye Xian and Jiang Xin looked at each other and then both laughed.
“What a coincidence, Sister Xin, what did you want to say?”
“It’s quite the coincidence~”
Jiang Xin gently pushed aside the curls beside her ears, revealing a girlish shyness contrary to her usual sophistication.
This must be… a meeting of minds?
“My matter isn’t urgent, you go first.”
Ye Xian: “No, you first. Ladies first, after all!” Hers wasn’t urgent either, just a bit awkward.
Jiang Xin, a bit nervous, took out the gift box from her bag. It was the Patek Philippe watch she had meant to give last time but hadn’t, “Ye Xian, this is a gift for you.”
Upon seeing it, Ye Xian recognized the watch from before, “Sister Xin, why are you bringing this out again…”
“Don’t be so quick to refuse.” Jiang Xin opened the watch box, looking at her seriously, “Last time I gave it to you without a reason, but this time I have one. This time… it’s my confession gift.”
Ye Xian paused, not comprehending at first.
Jiang Xin looked at her with unprecedented seriousness, her eyes filled with earnestness and infatuation, “Ye Xian, I like you. Let’s be together.”
Ye Xian froze, her mouth frozen, her nose frozen, her eyes frozen; she was like a baffled prairie dog standing blankly on an open dune, about to let out a long, panicked ‘ahhh—’
