Chapter 184 Su Wan felt both shy and sweet, her heart as if it were soaking in a honey pot.
Su Wan felt both shy and sweet, her heart as sweet as if it were soaking in a honey pot, but she couldn't help but complain softly.
"Our first anniversary? I can't believe you even thought of that. I'm a girl, and I never even thought of that."
"Okay, fine, I'll do whatever you say."
"After we finish eating hot pot, let's go buy a gift. I'll accept whatever you buy, I won't refuse, okay?"
"it is good."
A bright and satisfied smile instantly spread across Lu Chenyuan's eyes, and he was extremely happy.
He held Su Wan's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, palms pressed together, filled with love and doting affection, and together they walked towards the steaming hot pot restaurant, brimming with the warmth of everyday life.
The waiters at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant were all smiling.
The rich, spicy aroma of butter wafts over you.
Lu Chenyuan held Su Wan's hand, their fingers still tightly intertwined, and they walked familiarly through the noisy lobby, heading straight for the window seat where the two of them had sat together last time.
Lu Chenyuan pressed her into a seat and sat down next to her.
His arm naturally draped over her waist, partially encircling her within his sphere of influence, a gesture both intimate and unmistakably possessive.
He picked up the electronic menu on the table, his fingertips slid lightly across the screen, and before Su Wan could even say what she wanted to eat, he had already started reciting the names of the dishes in an orderly manner, his tone both firm and gentle.
"Iced jelly, tripe, freshly made meatballs, fresh baby squid, tender beef, dried bamboo shoots, baby bok choy, and handmade noodles."
Su Wan's eyes widened, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes filled with unbelievable surprise.
Everything he listed was exactly what she loved most; nothing was superfluous, and nothing was wrong.
She had only come here with him once before, and on that occasion, she had so heartlessly sat in this seat and told him, "After this meal, let's go our separate ways."
Her thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past. On that day, her heart was filled with grievances and unease. Even though she was about to break down, she still pretended to be strong and nonchalantly told him the great truth that "you can't boil water again once it's cooled down, and you can't turn back once someone leaves." She pretended that she didn't care at all and that she could completely let go of him once she turned around.
Looking back now, those seemingly indifferent words were nothing more than a disguise she used to conceal her true feelings.
And from that day on, he had probably secretly memorized her dietary preferences.
Lu Chenyuan turned his head to look at her and saw that the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and her brows and eyes were full of thoughtful relief. He instantly guessed what she was thinking.
Thinking back to the decisiveness of the last time, the previous tests, and the days when we were entangled and tormented each other.
He clearly remembered that day when she sat across from him, saying the harshest things, and his heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows, bleeding with pain, but he could only hold it in.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenyuan put down the electronic menu in his hand, confirmed the dishes, and submitted the order. He could no longer suppress the tenderness and relief in his heart, and reached out to pull Su Wan into his arms.
The force wasn't heavy, but it carried a sense of cherishing something lost and then regained, as if trying to knead her into one's very bones and never let go again.
"Wanwan, I'm so glad..."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of barely perceptible sob. Before he could finish speaking, Su Wan gently covered his mouth.
"Lu Chenyuan, please don't say sweet nothings in front of so many people, okay?"
Su Wan's cheeks instantly turned bright red, the burning heat radiating through her skin, even her earlobes were tinged with a faint blush.
She secretly glanced around and noticed that the people at the next table had already looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity and good-natured teasing.
Although she was overjoyed and loved his straightforward and passionate confession, she still felt extremely shy in front of so many people.
This is completely different from the cold, aloof Lu Chenyuan who never spoke a kind word before.
He used to have a distant and cold demeanor, and he always had an aura that kept strangers at bay.
But now, he has become gentle and clingy, showering her with sweet words, wishing he could give her all the love in the world.
"Don't find me annoying, I learned this from you."
Lu Chenyuan chuckled softly, his smile so gentle it could melt hearts.
He gently removed her hand, his fingertips caressing her soft palm.
His tone carried a hint of grievance, but also a touch of teasing.
What he said was absolutely right.
The Su Wan of the past was even bolder and more flamboyant than him. Regardless of the occasion, time, or place, she would come up to him and flirt with him in all sorts of ways, her eyes full of seductive charm. She was bold and straightforward, without the slightest bit of shyness.
Their eyes met, the love in them so intense it seemed to be an electric current swirling in the air, creating a palpable tension of ambiguity.
Su Wan didn't refute anymore, but slowly leaned into Lu Chenyuan's arms, her cheek pressed against his hot chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her thoughts drifting back to the past.
Those tests, those tugs of the gun, those joys and grievances, especially that dramatic turning point at the farmhouse, still make her feel ashamed to this day; it was just too embarrassing.
Lu Chenyuan almost instantly guessed her thoughts, gently combing her soft, long hair with his fingertips, his movements tender and delicate.
While the waiter was bringing over the hot pot base, we took advantage of the moment.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Wanwan, I'll take a few days off another day and introduce you to my colleagues, my friends, and my family."
"I think I need to formally bring you in front of them, solemnly declare our relationship, and tell everyone that you, Su Wan, are the only person I, Lu Chenyuan, have ever truly recognized in my life."
He paused, his tone softening slightly, tinged with a hint of reluctance.
"Also, my week-long vacation is almost over, and then I'll have to go back to work, so I won't be able to be with you all the time..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Su Wan's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang. It was Lin Weiwei calling.
Su Wan felt a warmth in her heart, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes. She knew Lin Weiwei too well. This fiery best friend must still be worried about her, worried that she would be bullied by Lu Chenyuan, and worried that she would make the wrong decision in a moment of confusion.
"Weiwei, what's wrong?"
She picked up her phone, pressed the answer button, and spoke in a soft voice, carrying a hint of languor and sweetness, as if she had just been nourished by love.
"Wanwan, where are you? Are you still with Lu Chenyuan?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Weiwei's voice was urgent, and there was also a hint of suppressed anger. She was obviously still angry about her being with Lu Chenyuan, and she was still very concerned.
"Yeah, we're having hot pot on the eighth floor of Guoguang. It's the tripe hot pot place we came to before, and it tastes just as good as before."
Su Wan answered with a smile, her joy barely concealed.
"Would you like to join us for dinner? The food hasn't been cooked yet."
