Chapter 42: Leave Everything to Me

  This subtle change made her feel a warmth in her heart, but also more taciturn.

  She was afraid of saying something wrong again and making the sweetness in front of her suddenly disappear once more.

  Sitting in the passenger seat, Qin Nian Ge used a lot of effort to force herself not to keep glancing at the man beside her, but Lai Yue Yi seemed completely unaware, every now and then turning his head to look at her for a moment or two.

  "Tonight you go back and cook for me." Even orders are given with such a straight face.

  But Qin Nian Ge revealed a faint smile because of his command: "Good."

  As long as she can feel needed by him, it's a good thing for her.

  Looking at her excited eyes, Lian Yiwu's lips also curled up with a smile, but unexpectedly, the car suddenly made a "beep" sound and stopped by the side of the road.

  Dropped anchor.

  Qin Nian looked around strangely: "Why did it suddenly stop?"

  Li Yan lowered his voice and got out of the car, opened the hood to take a look, made a phone call outside, then returned to the car door and said to Qin Nian Ge: "The car is broken, I've already called the insurance company to come and deal with it, let's get out first."

  Qin Nian Ge saw this and hastily nodded, undoing her seatbelt to get out of the car: "How did it suddenly break down? Hopefully it's not too serious?"

  Li Xiangya shook his head: "The engine had a bit of a problem, it's nothing, just have to take a taxi back later."

  Qin Nian Ge nodded cleverly and stood aside waiting.

  But Lijiao Yi was not a person who was used to wasting time waiting.

  He turned his head and glanced around, his gaze fixed on the sign of a restaurant across the street: "There seems to be a restaurant, let's eat out today."

  Qin Nian Ge heard his words and her eyes lit up instantly, also looking in the direction of that restaurant.

  Although eating out isn't something worth paying attention to, she had never eaten out with Liang Yi before.

  To her, this solo meal... was actually no different from a small date. And being able to go on a date with Liang Yiwen was also a wish she had hidden deep in her heart for a very long time.

  "Really?" Qin Nian Ge's small hands secretly clenched together, and she asked with anticipation.

  Lai Rongyi, a big man, of course, didn't have such frivolous thoughts. He furrowed his brow and looked at her: "It's just one meal, what can or cannot be done, let's go."

  As he spoke, Liang Yiwai stretched out his large palm and tightly grasped her small hand in the center of it, leading her step by step towards the opposite side of the road.

  This section of road is not a golden zone, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the surrounding environment is quiet.

  Qin Nian Ge, who was holding hands with Lie Wu Yue, felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat in this quiet atmosphere.

  Boom-boom——boom-boom——

  Following the footsteps of the two, one after another, she was completely immersed in boundless happiness.

  She never dared to imagine that Liang Yi would one day hold her hand so gently, take her across the road, and then go with her to a restaurant for dinner.

  If all of this were just a dream, then she really wished she would never wake up for the rest of her life.

  Qin Nian Ge's lips slowly curled up into a smile, and the shallow dimples seemed to be illuminated by the residual light of the sunset, making her whole person look radiant.

  Crossing the street, the two people soon arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.

  Lü Yīng just pushed the door open with her, and the two of them heard a faint rustling sound. Then, a pile of colorful glass paper scraps also sprinkled down on the two people's heads and bodies.

  Qin Nian Ge had just entered the door and hadn't even realized what was being splashed on her when she let out a loud shriek, subconsciously hiding into Lai Yue's arms.

  Lai Yue tightly hugged her, and at the same time, the waiters on both sides also excitedly shouted towards them: "Congratulations! Today is our restaurant's anniversary, you two are the tenth couple to enter our restaurant tonight, you can enjoy our special couples' set meal for free!"

  It wasn't until Qin Nian Ge heard their words that she finally understood the scattered debris just now was merely their welcoming ceremony.

  As soon as the waiter spoke, all the customers in the restaurant turned their heads to look at them, with envy in their eyes.

  Qin Nian Ge's face turned red as she subconsciously wanted to shake her head in denial: "That, we're not... what couple..."

  Before they could finish speaking, Liang Yiwu interrupted them: "Thanks, trouble you to show us the way."

  "Alright, this way please." A sweet-looking waitress made a welcoming gesture with her hand towards the inside.

  But before she took two steps, she smiled and opened her mouth again. "Today is the store's anniversary celebration, so we have prepared a dance floor for everyone. We would like to invite two lucky guests to dance with us as the opening act, if possible?"

  As soon as Qin Nian Ge heard the waiter's words, she suddenly became tense and looked at Lai Huo Yi beside her with a cramped expression. He also had a disgusted look on his face.

  Qin Nian Ge was still happy for the first time and saw such an expression on his face.

  Her heart couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief, and her whole body relaxed a lot, but her small relaxing movement was seen clearly by Liang Yiwen.

  "What? Don't want to dance with me?" Lei Ying's eyebrows rose, and a flash of malice suddenly appeared in his eyes.

  As soon as she saw his gaze, Qin Nian's muscles tensed up again.

  She swallowed hard and whispered: "I... I don't know how to dance, please, let's not dance, okay?"

  Lai Yueying glanced at her faintly, then turned his smiling gaze to the doll-faced waiter: "Then trouble you to lead the way, after all, we can't really eat for free here."

  The waiter probably rarely saw such a handsome and intimidating man, hearing him agree, his eyes almost directly sparkled with stars, and he hurriedly listened to the road ahead: "Two please come this way!"

  Qin Niange was held by Li Yue's shoulder, and had no choice but to follow him for two steps before she couldn't help but beg: "Li Yue ge, don't, I really can't dance, it'll be embarrassing for both of us!"

  Lai Yue raised an eyebrow and gave her a slanted glance, sneering: "You think you can make me lose face?"

  Looking at his past determination, Qin Nian Ge was even more frightened, and her face didn't have a single bit of blood color left. She looked around nervously.

  Many people who were originally sitting in their seats eating also stood up and slowly followed the waiter towards the direction of the dance floor inside.

  Knowing she would be surrounded by these people, she became even more nervous and stopped her footsteps in a fluster.

  "She said with a smile: 'Really, I won't dance, let's not eat here, okay? Let's go home... Lan aunt must have cooked dinner and is waiting for us to come back!'"

  But what she didn't know was that the more tense she looked, the thicker the mischievous interest in Lian Yiwu's heart became.

  If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have the leisure to dance here for these idle people to watch for free.

  Of course, he wouldn't let her know about these things either.

  Lian Yi patted her shoulder and continued to hold her, not letting her struggle as he walked forward: "Don't worry, I've got everything under control, definitely won't let you lose face."

  "But...with so many people here, how could she dare to show off in front of everyone?"

  Qin Nian Ge still looked flustered, but was dragged by Li Xue Yi to the side of the dance floor without any choice.

  The dance floor was obviously a temporary setup for the store's celebration, somewhat simple but carefully decorated with fresh flowers and colorful lights, looking like a school-organized dance party.

  Although simple, it is very thoughtful.

  Perhaps it was because the lucky couple had finally arrived, a handsome-looking man stood in the middle of the dance floor, holding a microphone as the host: "Hello everyone, I am the owner of this store, and I'm delighted that our third anniversary celebration can be spent with all of you tonight. We have welcomed the luckiest couple of the evening, now let them help us kick off the romantic opening dance to start the romantic dance party tonight."

  "Tonight, every guest will receive a drink and dessert from our small store, a small gift, not a big deal, hoping that in the future we can slowly become familiar old friends. Music, start!"

  As the store manager snapped his fingers, the lights in the restaurant also gradually dimmed, leaving only the colorful lights shining in the center of the dance floor.

  At the same time, a pleasant and moving piano melody slowly echoed through the field.

  All eyes of the guests and waiters were suddenly focused on Li Xueying and Qin Niange.

  In the past, every time she received everyone's attention, it was because of ridicule, so Qin Nian Ge had always been very sensitive about becoming the focus of everyone's gaze.

  She felt their gaze and suddenly tensed up all over her body.

  Lai Yue's expression remained calm and collected, he bowed slightly, extending his right hand to her, flashing a captivating smile that could turn heads.

  Qin Nian Ge stared blankly at him, hesitating and not daring to respond.

  Lǐ Huì Yì smiled again, proactively stretched out his hand, grasped Qin Niángē's hand, and gently pressed a kiss on the back of her smooth hand. In a soft voice that only the two could hear, he whispered: "Don't worry, I've got everything under control."

  After finishing speaking, he suddenly used force to pull Qin Nian Ge in front of him and gently grasped her waist.

  Qin Nian's song lightly called out, as if she hadn't made any mental preparations, and was smoothly led into the dance pool by him.

  Dim yet beautiful lights closely followed them, in the center of everyone's sight, Qin Nian Ge stiffened to the point where she almost couldn't move her feet.
