Chapter 95: Melting the iceberg
The sixth sense of women is really sharp. The moment she sat in the car Lin Rou Rou could detect a faint smell of perfume, Chanel N°5. From that she became certain that the owner of the car was a woman. Her sharp senses told her that the owner of this vehicle and Ye Qian had an out of the ordinary relationship. But when she saw Ye Qian\'s calm face she smiled happily, Lin Rou Rou couldn\'t help dispelling the doubts forming in her head.
"What are you daydreaming for? Why aren\'t you talking?" Ye Qian asked in surprise.
Lin Rou Rou gave a small smile and said, "Nothing. It\'s my first time being in such a luxurious car so I\'m a little excited." She inwardly decided that even if Ye Qian did have another girl on the side, she wouldn\'t mind as long as he still loved her, she would still want to be with him. How many men weren\'t fickleminded? But she could feel that what Ye Qian felt for her was genuine, that Ye Qian really loved her, and that she genuinely loved him. Since there was love, then there was nothing she wasn\'t willing to accept.
The evening dinner ended on a warm note. This girl\'s cooking skills was not bad, it was very rare for girls like Lin Rou Rou who grew up in a great family to know how to cook. Ye Qian wanted to go into the kitchen to help but Lin Rou Rou refused and told him to wait in the living room.
One of Lin Rou Rou\'s strengths was that she was good at understanding others, this was what Ye Qian liked the most about her.
When it was time to leave, Lin Rou Rou considerately fixed Ye Qian\'s clothes for him. Ye Qian joked, "Don\'t you hate for me to go? If you don\'t want to see me leave, then I should just stay." Lin Rou Rou smiled lightly. She knew that Ye Qian was serious, if she wanted Ye Qian to stay, he would drop whatever important matters he he had to deal with and stay with her. But she replied naughtily that even though she didn\'t want to see him leave, she didn\'t dare to have a pervert like him stay in her house overnight.
After lingering for a while, Ye Qian started the car and left.
When he got back to Qin Yue\'s villa, Ye Qian went into the kitchen and got busy. Earlier at Lin Rou Rou\'s house Ye Qian wanted to help in the kitchen but Lin Rou Rou was being so considerate she wouldn\'t let him assist her. Ye Qian thought that since they had a lot of time in the future anyway he didn\'t reject Lin Rou Rou\'s good intentions. Ye Qian always felt that it was a pleasure to be able to cook for somebody you liked; he knew Lin Rou Rou was also thinking this way so he didn\'t want to deprive her of this right. He felt that when he was with Lin Rou Rou they didn\'t need to speak so much, both were able to tell what the other was thinking. Perhaps this was the so-called kindred-spirits.
Qin Yue arrived punctually at 9PM. Perhaps it was because Ye Qian had been so mysterious that afternoon that she did not immediately open the door and go in, but chose to knock instead.
When Ye Qian heard the knocks he left the kitchen in a flurry, took off his apron, and smugly made it to the door, then turned off all the lights.
Qin Yue and the others couldn\'t help staring blankly. Zhao Ya asked in surprise, "Big Sister Yue, why were all the lights turned off? Could it be that a thief got in?"
Even though Qin Yue didn\'t know what it was for, she was still vaguely certain that this was all Ye Qian\'s tricks. After a moment of distraction she proceeded to knock once more.
Ye Qian slowly opened the door. The inside of the house was pitch-black, nothing could be seen. Ye Qian\'s figure could be faintly discerned from the moonlight, or else it would have really scared the three girls. "Beautiful ladies, welcome, please come on in!" Ye Qian bowed like a gentleman.
Not only Qin Yue, but Hu Ke and Zhao Ya were also very astonished, they didn\'t know what had gotten into Ye Qian. When Qin Yue made one step into the room she discovered that there were rows of candles on the floor, it made to two parallel columns of light, leaving a path in between. Beside the candles there were lots of fresh flowers of various types. The room was also decorated very prettily, full of colorful streamers. Even more ridiculous was that Ye Qian hung a large picture of Qin Yue on the living room wall.
"My gosh, isn\'t this too much?" Zhao Ya exclaimed in surprise.
Hu Ke was also stunned. She didn\'t expect Ye Qian to be so attentive, he was considerate enough to prepare for Qin Yue\'s birthday. No wonder that when Qin Yue asked them to go strolling at the mall today after class, and Zhao Ya and herself had said to just go to a restaurant to celebrate her birthday, she refused and insisted on going home. Turns out a man was preparing something for her back at home.
Qin Yue had been through twenty birthdays, and all of them had been more luxurious than this one, but none of them had ever made her feel so moved like this before. She looked at this smirking man, Qin Yue knew that this man had already touched her heart, had already pulled at her heartstrings. "Thank you, thank you!" Qin Yue\'s voice was choking with emotion.
Who said she was an thousand year iceberg? She could also care deeply for a person, she had just not met the right one yet. Now Ye Qian had slowly, little by little, melted this iceberg.
"If somebody gave me this type of birthday, I would promptly marry him." Zhao Ya pouted her little mouth and said.
"Then next time it\'s your birthday I will prepare something for you." Ye Qian chuckled and said.
"Who wants you, dirty rogue." Zhao Ya was a little jealous, so she said these words sounding a little upset.
Ye Qian shrugged innocently, chuckling a little bitterly.
When they reached the dining table Ye Qian turned on the lights that cast a soft orange glow, creating a warm atmosphere. When they saw the table full of food, everybody turned to Ye Qian in surprise, "You made all this?" Qin Yue asked in a soft voice.
"Haha, I haven\'t done this in a long time, I was quite out of practice. Come, take your seat!" Ye Qian pulled the chair back like gentleman to help Qin Yue to her seat.
"You liar, I\'m sure you called a restaurant and had these delivered." Zhao Ya said.
Ye Qian did not reply to her, only shooting her an indifferent look, then he said to Qin Yue, "Wait here, I have a gift for you." After saying this, he eagerly left the dining room.
"Big sister Yue, did water get in this guy\'s head or what? Why did he suddenly change this way?" Zhao Ya asked while looking at Ye Qian\'s retreating back.
"He was not bad from the start, only a little smooth-talker. Even though sometimes he can be annoying, other times he is very likable." Qin Yue murmured.
