Chapter 471: Today... Let’s Win Him Over
Song Yi looked at Tang Si with fox-like eyes squinting slightly: "Tang Si, I have something to ask you."
Tang Si kept his eyes forward, but couldn’t help turning his head to glance at her because of her tone.
With alluring, mysterious eyes, yet bright and sharp, he turned his gaze back to the road ahead: "What’s with that look in your eyes?"
"You’ve been asking me this question all day. Are you worried that after getting those two together, I’ll come looking for trouble with you? Trying to test me on purpose?"
"..." Tang Si pressed his lips together and then said, "Just in case, I have to ask clearly."
"I need to lay the foundation for our harmonious and beautiful life." Tang Si held the steering wheel: "What if?"
Anything that might happen needs a plan to deal with it.
Song Yi laughed: "Am I that scary? You’re really on edge."
Tang Si chuckled lightly: "Not scary."
He gave Song Yi a deep look with his peach blossom eyes: "I’m afraid of you."
When one person is afraid of another, it’s usually not cowardice, but liking and love.
Afraid of not attending to her every little mood, careful to look after her in every aspect.
Song Yi laughed again upon hearing this.
"Whoosh——" In the pouring rain, a black sedan brushed past their car.
Tang Si glanced in the rearview mirror but didn’t pay much attention.
...
And that black sedan came to a steady stop at Lu Yan’s doorstep.
Song Nuan had said she would stay up late with him to do homework, but she fell asleep as soon as her bed was made.
Maybe running around with him all day had worn her out.
After she fell asleep, Lu Yan gently covered the little girl with a blanket.
He stood quietly by the bed, watching her sleeping face.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face; she was more obedient when asleep, such a good girl.
Just as he was about to step out, the little girl on the bed turned over.
She inadvertently kicked the blanket off, as if she were a bit hot.
Lu Yan: "..."
He withdrew his previous thoughts.
With a slight sigh, he bent over to cover her again; the little girl in her nightgown pouted, her face a bit red. He glanced at the air conditioner, which seemed to be set a bit too high.
He adjusted the temperature to be constant.
When he turned around, he saw Song Nuan sprawled in all directions, sleeping with no sense of decorum.
Her nightgown had been pushed up to her waist, just a bit more and it would have been...
Lu Yan’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, he swallowed and moistened his somewhat dry throat.
Turning his face away, he reached out and covered her with the blanket.
Song Nuan was young, just eighteen but already maturely developed, her figure was by no means lacking.
As soon as he covered her again, the little girl kicked it off, and Lu Yan gritted his teeth.
He simply set the air conditioner to seventeen degrees.
And brought her another blanket.
Finally, she settled down quietly.
The little girl on the bed curled up into a ball, sleeping peacefully.
Only then did Lu Yan close the door and leave.
"Ding-dong——"
Just as he stepped out, the doorbell rang, and Lu Yan frowned, thinking Tang Si and the others had forgotten something.
He stepped forward to open the door.
A woman stood at the door holding an umbrella, dressed in a jacket, makeup enhancing her mature charm.
"Lu Yan." She called his name.
"It’s so late, what are you doing here?"
The woman held up something in her hand, handing it to him: "This is something from above, they want you to look at it tonight. They said they called you but you didn’t answer, so I brought it over. It’s needed tomorrow afternoon."
She was from his team, a clerical worker.
They had previously arranged for the two of them to have a blind date, but Lu Yan wasn’t interested.
Lu Yan looked at what was in her hand: "Next time just send it to me on WeChat, I will see it. It’s such a heavy rain tonight, and you still came."
"It’s okay, I was passing by anyway." The woman smiled.
"I just happened to buy some food on the way, can I sit inside for a bit? I forgot my keys and I have to wait for my parents to get back before I can go home."
Her underlying intention was already very clear.
Using the food as an excuse to stay at his place for a while.
She even made the special effort to bring him these documents, making it hard to refuse outright.
He slightly frowned: "Alright."
"No need for the food, you can take it home, I’ve already had dinner." Lu Yan’s tone was cool and distant.
She knew Lu Yan was like this.
Outside of work, to unfamiliar people, he was always cold.
Making people feel like it was hard to get into his inner circle.
Yet precisely this kind of person could most captivate others to desperately want to get closer.
To know what kind of attitude he’d have once you reached his heart.
To be the exceptional recipient of attention from such a powerful man was always enviable.
She had liked him for quite some time, but... to no avail.
...
She sat in the living room, placing what she had bought on the table, claiming it was bought in passing, though it was actually fruit specially bought for him.
Lu Yan, sitting at the adjacent table, seemed to be working on his laptop.
His expression was deep and distant, with an air about him that clearly said ’stay away.’
Today... I’ll try to win him over.
She got up, poured a cup of water, and walked over to Lu Yan.
"It’s already quite late, don’t work too hard, have some water."
Lu Yan’s fingers, dancing on the keyboard, paused slightly as he looked up at her, a polite yet distancing smile tugging at his lips: "Chen Ya, I’m the host and you’re the guest."
"Aren’t you turning the roles around a bit here?"
His tone was cold, a straight line of calm detachment, as though he was upset, but didn’t quite sound upset.
This made Chen Ya’s position a bit awkward.
"I’m sorry, I just thought you looked too tired. I poured you a glass of water, since you’re the only one at home."
Lu Yan lowered his eyes without responding, though he picked up the glass of water and drank.
The only one? That’s not quite the case anymore.
Watching him drink the water she poured, a fleeting smile appeared on Chen Ya’s face, though it swiftly vanished untraceably.
She hesitantly licked her lips, then asked: "Captain Lu, why are you back when you were staying at the barracks comfortably?"
Lu Yan turned his head, his long, narrow eyes only showing coolness, but the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile: "Someone’s at home now, naturally I have to come back."
Chen Ya’s grip tightened, staring at Lu Yan in shock, someone at home... someone at home...
She forced a smile: "Who? Got a girlfriend? I haven’t heard you mention it before."
Turns out... the rumors in the team were true, he actually brought a young girl over.
"So where is she? Can I meet her?"
Lu Yan: "Asleep."
With that answer, it was as if Chen Ya had been struck by lightning, her face turned pale: "Wha-what?"
She had heard the rumors, which was why she came, thinking it was just hearsay.
But unexpectedly... it turned out to be true.
