164: Chapter 164 Persuasion and Warming

Shen Yan accepted this explanation.

However, he felt that since he had already agreed to Xiao Wu, it wouldn't be good to refuse now.

So he said to Lü Yan, "How about this? If you really don't like it, I'll go tell her that we won't eat together today, and I'll go with you another day."

Lü Yan didn't want to make things so complicated.

She shook her head and refused, "Forget it, since she's already invited us, it's not good to break up the gathering now."

No sooner had she spoken than Wu Ya arrived.

As soon as she arrived, she directly opened the front passenger door.

Seeing that Lü Yan was already sitting in the front passenger seat, she paused, then closed the door and went to the back seat.

"Sorry, I just like sitting in the front passenger seat."

Hearing Lü Yan's words, Wu Ya smiled and replied, "It's fine, the front seat and back seat are all the same."

That's what she said, but she was already muttering about Lü Yan.

She wondered, does this Lü Yan have feelings for Shen Yan?

While she was thinking, Shen Yan started driving.

More than an hour later.

The three of them got out of the car in front of a brand new Western restaurant.

"Wow, Lawyer Lü, your friend's restaurant is really beautifully decorated."

Hearing the compliment, Lü Yan smiled and replied, "Thank you, I'll pass on your compliment to my friend."

With that, she led the two of them into the restaurant.

Because they had an early reservation, the Waitress immediately led the three of them to a private room as soon as they entered.

Sitting down in a chair, Shen Yan said to Lü Yan, "Your friend's business seems pretty good."

Lü Yan replied while ordering, "It's alright. Mama Hufu Mei, he did well in the neighboring city before."

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but be curious.

"He also opened a restaurant in the neighboring city before?"

Lü Yan handed the menu to the two of them and said, "He still has one open now. This is one of his chain restaurants."

"You two order whatever you like. It's my treat today. Oh, and I specifically told him that if you find the food not good, you must tell him and give him some feedback."

Shen Yan thoughtfully took the menu.

Everyone Lü Yan associates with is either rich or noble.

It seems he needs to maintain a good relationship with her.

...

On the other side.

Yang Jin was preparing a marriage proposal.

Originally, he didn't want to propose to Chen Ling so quickly.

However, because the company urgently needed to change its legal representative, he had to accelerate his proposal plan.

"Mr. Yang, do you think we can place the candles here?"

Inside the villa, a staff member holding candles asked Yang Jin.

Yang Jin didn't even look and said to the staff member, "You're the ones who do this. You know how and where to place them, so don't ask me."

Hearing this, the staff member was stunned.

They had rarely seen a groom so unenthusiastic about his proposal.

Although surprised, they still followed Yang Jin's instructions.

Just as the scene was in chaos, Youyou walked out of the room.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house!"

Everyone was surprised that there was a child in the villa.

They looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Yang Jin, who was playing on his phone next to them.

Seeing them stop their work, Yang Jin frowned and reprimanded, "What are you looking at me for? Get back to work!"

As his voice fell.

Several staff members immediately put away their gossip and continued with their tasks.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Youyou grabbed her doll and rushed to Yang Jin in a few steps.

"Bad guy! What do you want to do! Get out of my house!"

Yang Jin had long been impatient with Youyou.

He bent down and threatened Youyou with a sinister expression, "Did you forget how your mom hit you last time? If you dare to scold me again, I'll make your mom lock you in your room again!"

Youyou was startled by his words.

The incident where Chen Ling slapped her for scolding this person was still fresh in her memory.

She didn't want Chen Ling to lock her in the room again.

So she silently turned and ran back into her room.

Seeing that she was no longer causing trouble, Yang Jin continued to look down and flirt with his many girlfriends on his phone.

A few minutes later.

Youyou put on her backpack, quietly opened the door, and secretly slipped out of the room.

Because everyone was busy setting up the proposal scene, no one noticed her.

One step, two steps, three steps...

She successfully slipped out of the villa right under everyone's noses.

Meanwhile, Chen Ling was on her way back to the villa.

"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!"

Her phone rang.

Chen Ling glanced at her phone, then swiped to answer.

"What is it?"

Noticing Chen Ling's cold tone, Yang Jin cleared his throat, pinched his voice, and whispered to Chen Ling, "It was my fault last time, I shouldn't have been fierce with you. When are you coming home tonight?"

Chen Ling sneered and replied, "You don't need to apologize to me. You always have your own ideas anyway."

Tsk! She's still angry...

Yang Jin thought to himself, and then said, "No matter how many ideas I have, you are always number one in my heart. What happened last time was really my fault, please forgive me this one time."

"I've made a big meal at home, when are you coming back?"

Chen Ling didn't intend to fall out with Yang Jin at this time.

So she didn't pursue it further, but said, "I'll be home in half an hour."

Half an hour!

Yang Jin looked at the unarranged proposal scene in front of him and panicked.

"Uh... so fast? But I haven't even finished cooking."

Chen Ling didn't think much of it and replied indifferently, "It's okay, it's the same if I cook with you when I get back."

"No!" Yang Jin refused loudly, then, somewhat guiltily, he remedied, "What happened last time was my fault, I must personally cook for you to apologize. If you cook with me, what would that be like..."

"How about this, take a detour and help me buy a tie. I don't have any ties to match my outfits recently."

As soon as he said this, Chen Ling burst out laughing.

"What kind of joke are you playing with me?"

"Your wardrobe is full of ties, and you're telling me you don't have any?"

Yang Jin softened his tone and persuaded, "Those are all ties I bought myself. How can they be the same as one you buy for me? Please take a detour to the mall and help me buy a tie..."

Chen Ling found it hard to refuse, so she perfunctorily agreed, "Alright, I'll buy it for you. But let me say this first, if it doesn't look good, you're not allowed to blame me."

Yang Jin replied with a grin, "Don't worry, I definitely won't blame you, and I trust your taste completely!"

After hearing this, Chen Ling hung up the phone and turned to drive in the direction of the mall.

Originally, she just wanted to buy any tie, but unexpectedly, as she browsed, she saw something she had always wanted to buy.

So she spent a full hour shopping in the mall.
