Pei Yicheng glanced at him and said, "Don’t set your sights on her."
Upon hearing this, Lou Fan quickly raised his hands and explained, "Yicheng, please don’t misunderstand, I have absolutely no interest in her." Even though Xu Nianhua was beautiful, she wasn’t his type at all.
"Yicheng, I was just thinking, maybe I could help, to win her heart sooner, right?" Lou Fan feared that Pei Yicheng had misunderstood.
Pei Yicheng said nothing but just stared at him steadily.
Lou Fan felt the air around him getting colder, and he corrected himself, "I misspoke, who is Yicheng, after all? Winning her heart is a sure thing, he doesn’t need my help at all."
Pei Yicheng took his eyes off him, stood up, and left the room.
To facilitate the next day’s inspection, Xu Nianhua and Pei Yicheng were both staying in the hotel.
Pei Yicheng glanced at the time, purposely went out to buy a box of dumplings, and just after he had bought them, he saw Xu Nianhua and Amos appearing one after the other in the restaurant.
Pei Yicheng silently followed them.
"Mr. Amos, is there a problem?" Xu Nianhua originally planned to do homework, but Amos knocked on her door, saying he had some questions about the factory he wanted to ask her.
Xu Nianhua then followed Amos down to the restaurant.
Once in the restaurant, Amos ordered a few appetizers and desserts, without any intention of discussing business.
"Xu, you can call me Amos." Amos’s blue eyes gazed at her intently and said, "Xu, I really like you, would you be my girlfriend?"
The abrupt question thoroughly shocked Xu Nianhua.
He was too direct, wasn’t he?
Aside from being approached by Chen Hu, Xu Nianhua was facing this question for the second time, and moreover, from a foreigner she had just met that day.
Amos spoke in not very fluent Mandarin, mixed with a foreign language, all expressing his affection for Xu Nianhua.
Xu Nianhua straightforwardly refused, "Thank you for your feelings, but we are not suitable."
Xu Nianhua tactfully refused.
"Why?" Amos didn’t understand subtlety; he genuinely had love at first sight for Xu Nianhua. He enjoyed watching her confident demeanor and liked her dark, starry eyes even more.
Why must he delve so deep?
"Because, she has a boyfriend." Pei Yicheng, carrying dumplings, sat down next to Xu Nianhua, his voice low but forceful.
Xu Nianhua stared in shock at the unexpected appearance of Pei Yicheng.
"Nianhua, didn’t you say you wanted to eat dumplings? I bought them especially for you, try them."
As he spoke, Pei Yicheng opened the dumpling box, laid it in front of her, and even handed her the chopsticks.
Xu Nianhua stared dazedly at his series of actions, initially stunned by the sudden confession from Amos, and now bewildered by Pei Yicheng’s actions.
"Do you want to be with him instead?" Pei Yicheng leaned forward and whispered in her ear.
In the past, Xu Nianhua had only read about people having voices so pleasant that they could make your ears "pregnant."
She had never believed it, but now, she did.
Pei Yicheng’s deep voice echoed next to her ear; although the words were simple, they sounded like heavenly music to her.
"Of course not." Xu Nianhua answered hastily, disregarding the fact that she wasn’t planning on marrying or dating anyone, even if she were to date, she still preferred someone with black hair and eyes from China.
