The office buildings were all small companies, and as far as she knew, they didn't work with Yan Hui. Only their office had contracts with both Yan Hui and Yan Huaian.
"No, I passed by your office on my way home from work. I wondered if you would get off work on time, so I stopped by to take a look. If you weren't working overtime, I came to pick you up since it was on the way," Yan Huaian said.
His demeanor was natural and natural, without any hint of ambiguity or ambiguity. However, his last sentence made Yu Zi blush and her ears heat up.
His voice was natural and clear, without any impurities.
Yu Zi thought to herself that she was overthinking. His attitude was normal, but when he said home, it sounded like they were living together. Her heart skipped a beat.
If it weren't for Yan Huaian, Yu Zi would have hit herself twice.
She had just broken up with him. What was she thinking about?
Yan Huaian had just helped her. Although he had told Pan Yunfeng and Yue Jingchen that he would pursue her, it was only a temporary measure to help her. She couldn't have any improper thoughts about Yan Huaian.
Yu Zi lowered her head and peeked at Yan Huaian.
He was looking straight ahead and focused on driving. His side profile was solemn and upright, just like a gentleman. Yu Zi suddenly felt that it would be an insult to Yan Huaian if she thought too much.
Yan Huaian was an elegant gentleman, untainted by worldly affairs.
His clear and elegant appearance simply didn't look like a mortal at all. She shouldn't taint him with the seven emotions and six desires of a human. Yu Zi couldn't even imagine how he looked when he was aroused.
She didn't know if it was because she had been staring at him for too long that her gaze was a little too obvious, but Yan Huaian suddenly turned his head and caught her peeping.
Yu Zi looked as if she had choked, and her face turned red.
She couldn't even say that she wasn't peeking at him. Yu Zi was anxious and embarrassed.
She wanted to explain, but didn't know how. "I … I …"
She couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her embarrassed look, Yan Huaian suddenly swallowed the words he wanted to say to help her out of this predicament. A bad idea arose in his heart, and he increasingly wanted to see her embarrassed look.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she lowered her voice by a few degrees. Her voice was slightly husky and a little magnetic as she asked softly, "Were you peeping at me just now?"
Yu Zi hurriedly shook her head. She shook her head so hard that her head hurt and she could barely hold it in. The more anxious she was, the more her mind went blank. She couldn't find a reasonable excuse.
"What did you see?" Yan Huaian asked with a smile.
Little Dian's smile made his clear and melodious voice seem to jump into her heart. It tickled her heart and made her heart beat faster.
Bang … Bang … Bang …
It was as if her chest was about to burst out. Yu Zi didn't have time to think. She immediately raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, as if to prevent her heart from really jumping out.
Yan Huaian lowered his eyes slightly to hide the leaping flames that were ignited by her actions, but his gaze still couldn't help but fall on her hand … pressed against her chest, and his throat slid a little.
He quickly turned back to look at the car in front, thinking that he was screwed. He wanted to hit on a girl, but he was hit on instead, and the person who hit on him didn't even have any self-awareness.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and his knuckles turned white.
After a while, he relaxed a little.
He turned to see that Yu Zi was still blushing. He felt that he couldn't be the only one being flirted with. He squinted and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
His magnetic and husky voice seemed to circle around her chest, making her feel numb.
Yu Zi couldn't tell what she was feeling. She stuttered and subconsciously refuted, "No … no …"
Yan Huaian chuckled softly. His laughter was as clear as a bell and as clear as jade, causing Yu Zi to cast aside her nervousness in surprise and raise her head to look at him.
His eyebrows were curved, and his black eyes seemed to contain starlight, giving her the urge to reach out and touch his eyes.
Fortunately, she restrained herself in time. She clutched her knees tightly and didn't lose her composure.
She frowned slightly. She didn't know what was wrong with her and why she was so abnormal.
Yan Huaian mistook her for being annoyed by his teasing. He quickly stopped laughing and didn't dare to tease her anymore.
"I won't tease you anymore." Yan Huaian said quickly. His expression was as upright as he could be. "Did you have something to say to me just now?"
He was giving her a way out.
Yu Zi quickly caught it and nodded. However, she couldn't think of anything to say. In her anxiety, she suddenly thought of something.
"Come to my house for dinner tonight." After Yu Zi said that, she felt that it was a simple sentence. Why did it sound so ambiguous?
However, Yan Huaian didn't seem to think much about it. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said. He looked calm.
Then, she felt that she might be thinking too much.
She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Why couldn't she speak properly? She just said something normal. Yan Huaian didn't do anything, but she was already thinking too much.
There must be something wrong with her.
Yu Zi shook her head. Seeing Yan Huaian's puzzled gaze, she smiled awkwardly.
She didn't want to invite him to her house for dinner. She felt that it was too intimate.
However, he had helped her today. It wouldn't be nice if she didn't say anything.
Under Yan Huaian's puzzled gaze, Yu Zi said shamelessly, "Didn't you say it yesterday? In the future, if I don't work overtime, we'll eat together. You're alone anyway. It's awkward to eat alone. If you cook too little, you won't have an appetite. If you cook too much, you won't be able to finish it. "
Yan Huaian smiled and nodded calmly. "Okay."
Yu Zi wanted to explain more. She didn't mean anything by it. However, Yan Huaian agreed without giving her a chance.
She swallowed the explanation she was about to say.
When the two of them returned to the Autumn Courtyard, they went back to their respective homes. They had to change into more comfortable clothes and tidy up.
Hence, the two of them said their goodbyes at the door.
Yu Zi stood at the door and looked at Yan Huaian, who was opening the door with his keys. Suddenly, she burst out laughing.
Yan Huaian heard the sound. He turned around and looked at her in confusion. Seeing that her face had lit up from laughing, his eyes were also smiling. "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Zi shook her head. She didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she didn't know if she could explain it clearly. Hence, she tried saying, "It's just saying goodbye to you at the door and going home. But we're neighbors. It's quite interesting to say goodbye when we're already at the door. "
After Yu Zi finished her explanation, she realized that it was dry. When she expressed it in words, it didn't seem as interesting as when she had understood it. Instantly, she became listless.
She waved her hand. "Forget it. It's actually nothing."
Yan Huaian squinted his eyes and smiled. "It's very interesting."
Yu Zi was stunned. Yan Huaian looked at her and pointed to the opposite side. Then, he pointed behind him. "I can understand. It's indeed … quite interesting."
After saying that, he even chuckled.
It wasn't perfunctory. It was a light chuckle from the bottom of his heart. Instantly, Yu Zi didn't feel so awkward.
She lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly. Then, she looked up and said, "Then … see you later."
Yu Zi didn't know why, but Yan Huaian seemed very happy to hear that. The smile on his face widened.
His solemn face softened, and his eyes shone with radiance.
"I'll be there in a while," Yan Huaian said. He recalled the feeling in his heart. It felt good.
This was the advantage of living so close to each other. They could go whenever they wanted. It was as if they weren't strangers and they were very close.
It would be even better if they could connect their houses directly.
Yan Huaian watched Yu Zi enter the house. He was still standing at the door, daydreaming.
After a while, he came back to his senses. He realized he was still standing at the door, smiling foolishly at Yu Zi's closed door. He quickly shut his mouth and stopped smiling. He took the key and opened the door.
Yu Zi went back to change her clothes. She threw the clothes she wore for work into the washing machine. She pressed the switch to let the washing machine run automatically. Then, she went to the fridge to find the ingredients she could use tonight to cook.
She had to admit that when the two of them ate together, they were much more energetic in cooking.
When she lived alone, she would go out to eat with Yue Jingchen. Yu Zi had never let Yue Jingchen stay at home.
She was the only one at home. There was no one else. What could they do after having dinner with Yue Jingchen?
A man and a woman were alone, and they were lovers. It was inevitable that they would cross that line. But after being with Yue Jingchen for so many years, Yu Zi had never thought about it in that way.
She didn't know why. Actually, Yu Zi had never thought about it in detail. She slowed down washing the vegetables. She calmed down and thought about it carefully. Maybe it was because of Yue Jingchen's parents. Although she liked Yue Jingchen, she always felt uneasy.
She knew Pan Yunfeng and Yue Xingan's character. If she really crossed that line with Yue Jingchen, Pan Yunfeng would point at her nose and say that she was shameless and cling to her son. She would feel that she should be the daughter-in-law of the Yue Family. Since she was with Yue Jingchen, she couldn't let him down by being with another man.
Thinking about it, Yu Zi felt disgusted. That was why she didn't really have anything with Yue Jingchen. She was also on guard. She was afraid that Yue Jingchen would really come home. The atmosphere was good at night, and they couldn't help but do something.
Fortunately, she didn't let Yue Jingchen come.
Yu Zi let out a sigh.
But because of Yue Jingchen's financial situation, even if they ate out, they wouldn't go to a good place. Most of the time, they would eat in small restaurants with good quality and low prices.
Actually, Yue Jingchen's character was more or less influenced by his parents. Fortunately, it wasn't a big influence. But he was especially competitive. He was more or less a male chauvinist. When they went out on dates, he never let Yu Zi spend money.
Even if he didn't have the financial ability to make Yu Zi more relaxed and happy, he didn't want to spend Yu Zi's money. His pride was too strong.
Yu Zi could afford to eat in a more high-end restaurant. But because Yue Jingchen didn't have the financial ability, and he insisted on paying for the two of them, he could only drag Yu Zi to eat in ordinary restaurants.
Fortunately, the food was clean, and Yu Zi ate it without any problems.
