As it was time to get off work, Ye Ziyu met Di Mingjue downstairs at her company. She briefly told him about her dinner plans with Yu Xixi that evening, and Di Mingjue took her back to the Ye residence to pick up the children.
After sending the restaurant address to Yu Xixi, she tidied herself up and headed out for the appointment.
The car stopped in the parking lot opposite the restaurant. A slender pair of high heels emerged from the car door. Yu Xixi closed the car door and faced the restaurant entrance. She looked up at the sign, comparing it with the information she had.
Gracefully joining the crowd walking across the street to the restaurant, Yu Xixi heard shouts from her left.
She turned her head to see Ye Chenhan, dressed casually, walking towards her with a clean and handsome demeanor.
His appearance turned into a beautiful sight by the roadside, attracting many infatuated glances from women.
"He's so handsome!"
"Is the person in front of him his girlfriend?"
"His girlfriend is also very beautiful. They look so well-matched!"
Bystanders whispered to their companions, covering their mouths.
These words drifted into Ye Chenhan's ears, making him so excited that he almost stumbled.
"How have you been recently?" Ye Chenhan, like a novice young man, shyly rubbed the back of his head. Realizing he had just styled his hair, he anxiously smoothed it down again, afraid of messing it up.
Yu Xixi ignored him and stepped into the restaurant.
"Welcome, how many people?" The hostess at the entrance smiled and greeted them.
Ye Chenhan quickly stepped forward and said, "We have a reservation. Miss Ye booked it."
The hostess took out a palm-sized card machine from her pocket, entered the name, and then gestured for them to follow, "Please come with me."
"Let's go," Ye Chenhan said to Yu Xixi, slowing his pace to walk behind her protectively.
Upon arriving at the private room, the server assigned to that room entered. After pouring tea for them, she left the menu and walked out of the room, waiting outside the door.
Yu Xixi took off her coat. She turned to hang it on the back of a chair, but Ye Chenhan, like a maid from ancient times, held out his hands, "Give it to me."
Ignoring Ye Chenhan, Yu Xixi deftly placed her coat on the chair and leaned back against it.
Watching the entire process, Ye Chenhan awkwardly withdrew his hands and sheepishly returned to his seat.
After sitting for a while, Yu Xixi checked her phone several times.
"Ziyu picked up Qianqian after work. There might be some traffic, so we'll have to wait a bit," Ye Chenhan said.
Yu Xixi wasn't in a hurry, but she felt awkward being alone with him.
Ye Chenhan picked up the teapot and walked over to Yu Xixi.
"What are you doing?" Yu Xixi swung an arm and nudged Ye Chenhan's arm. The tilted teapot spun halfway, and all the water spilled out from the spout.
The water was warm, not hot, but Ye Chenhan was terrified. He put down the kettle and hastily grabbed Yu Xixi's arm, "Are you scalded? I'll take you to the hospital."
The redness on her wrist wasn't from being scalded, but from him gripping it. Yu Xixi looked at his panicked expression and sighed helplessly, "You're hurting my wrist."
Realizing he was gripping her wrist too tightly, Ye Chenhan quickly released his hand and said, unable to stop himself, "I, I was worried you'd get scalded."
Yu Xixi picked up the teapot. Her gaze flickered towards Ye Chenhan's nervously extended hand as she retracted her gaze and poured the water from the teapot into a cup. "Put your finger in."
Ye Chenhan was stunned.
It was an accident; he didn't need to be so rough!
Seeing him hesitate like a big man, Ye Ziyu grabbed his hand and dipped it into the cup.
Not hot?
He deliberately pushed his finger further in. Indeed, it wasn't hot!
Then what was the redness on his arm just now?
