Xu Bei asked for a leave of absence today, so Xiao Yu personally came to drive the car. Ye Yanxi was originally heading towards the front passenger seat, so after thinking for a moment, she decided to head towards the back seat.

Seeing her actions, Xiao Yu unhappily said, "Just sit in front!"

"Am I going to be recognized when I sit in the front seat?" Initially, they also didn't want to be recognized, so they chose a more distant place to eat.

"It's already dark. No one can clearly see who's inside the car."

That was also true. Thus, Ye Yanxi closed the back seat door and walked over. After she got in the car, she fastened her safety belt.

"Where are we going to eat?" He was so picky that he wanted to get someone to bring all of the restaurant's dishes here. The place he was going to now should be quite good, and in those luxurious hotels, the speed of cooking couldn't keep up with his speed, so he didn't know what time it would be when he finished eating. At that time, he would delay his work, "We'll just find a place to eat!"

She had suggested this, but for Xiao Yu's sake, didn't they have to work overtime? If so, then there was no need to waste any other time and she should return as soon as possible to work properly.

Thinking about him like this, even Ye Yanxi felt a bit touched. He should also feel happy.

However, Xiao Yu didn't reply. Instead, he gave her a deep look with his unfathomable eyes before silently starting the car and leaving the underground parking lot.

The streets were bustling with noise and excitement. When the lanterns were lit, the dim lights of the cars swept past. Ye Yanxi was lost in thought as she looked at the people coming and going on the streets.

The couple held hands as they strolled down the street. Their faces were brimming with a blissful and beautiful smile. It seemed that people would be envious of them and Ye Yanxi would feel disappointed.

Looking outside the window, Ye Yan Xi withdrew her gaze and glanced at Xiao Yu beside her. She was staring ahead with a focused expression as she softly sighed.

Looking at Xiao Yu's side profile as he was lost in thought, one couldn't help but to say that the line of his side face was even colder, and the light that illuminated it was even more handsome. He tightly pursed his lips, and his chin was perfectly curved, just like someone who had walked out from a painting.

She sighed with emotion. She still remembered the first time she saw Xiao Yu, she had been captivated by his face.

However, when they thought about it carefully, they felt that it wasn't right. Sixteen years ago, they first met, and at that time, they had all been pressed under the roof, so it was impossible to see his appearance clearly in the darkness. They only felt that his voice was deep and full of magnetism.

Although she didn't pay much attention to other people's appearances, the big brother from back then had given her a very peaceful and comfortable feeling.

At this moment, although the two of them couldn't be a normal couple, holding hands and strolling on the streets, it was enough as long as they were together, right?

Suddenly, she remembered the photo of the girl that Xiao Yu had hidden in the study room. She still didn't mind; maybe that girl was already in Xiao Yu's past. The most important thing was that he shouldn't be so stingy right now.

As he thought about it in his heart, he realized that his resistance towards Xiao Yu had also somewhat dissipated. The weight of the stone in his heart no longer weighed heavily on him.

It's Valentine's Day today, and they will be eating together later.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Xiao Yu had already parked his car in front of a restaurant. At this time, Ye Yan's mood improved again.

After getting out of the car, she stood next to Xiao Yu and looked at the restaurant. Even so, she was still a bit shocked by the scene in front of her.

This is a top five star restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, a waiter greeted him with a smile, "Sir, Miss, welcome. May I know if you two have an appointment?"

As he spoke, he invited the two inside.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu wasn't someone who would casually make a meal out of a small restaurant. Only a five star rating would suit the taste of his CEO.

"Yes." After the waiter finished his question, Xiao Yu replied in a low voice.

An appointment?

Ye Yan Xi looked at Xiao Yu in confusion.

What did that mean? On their way from the company to the restaurant, Xiao Yu hadn't called since they left. What time did he make an appointment for?

"Then may I know Mister's surname?"

"Shaw."

The waiter immediately came to a realization and hurriedly led the two to the reserved room, "So you are Mr Xiao, I will bring you to the reserved room."

The waiter respectfully led the two of them towards the elevator. Ye Yanxi was still very puzzled in her heart.

Had Xiao Yu made an appointment before she had even gone to the office? It seemed that Xiao Yu had already planned to eat here.

This rich man was always having trouble eating. Why did he have to come to a five-star restaurant? Ye Yanxi grumbled softly as she followed behind Xiao Yu like a dutiful follower.

When they arrived at the entrance of the private room, the waiter left. "Mister Xiao, you have arrived. It's a pleasure to have your meal here."

Ye Yan Xi watched as the waiter left. He then saw Xiao Yu walk in with a faint expression on his face. Ye Yan Xi had no choice but to follow him in.

However, after Xiao Yu walked to the door and stood there, he didn't sit down. Instead, he waited for Ye Yan Xi to enter.

Ye Yan Xi looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression. She didn't know what kind of game he was playing, so she followed him in. The moment she saw the room, her eyes widened in surprise.

Heavens, what did she see?

In the middle of the long table was a red candlestick, elegant and noble. On both sides of the candlestick were several delicate plates of dessert, two goblets of wine, and on the tablecloth were red rose petals. As she looked at it this way, she could see that not only the table was covered with petals, but Ye Yan Xi was also looking down at the floor. The white blanket was also strewn with roses, looking extremely beautiful.

She did not expect to see such a sight, so she froze in place.

Xiao Yu closed the door behind him, and then a bunch of roses appeared in his hand, which he handed over to Ye Yan Xi.

The lights in the room had been dimmed before, but now, against Ye Yan Xi's delicate and exquisite face, there was a trace of surprise that didn't come back to her mind. She looked even more beautiful than a rose.

"This is?" After a long while, Ye Yan Xi's mouth was half open as she knowingly asked this question.

As she asked this question, Ye Yanxi realized that Xiao Yu's face had a suspicious shade of red. It was unknown if it was just an illusion made by the light.

"Don't you understand? Bring the flowers. " Xiao Yu's expression darkened. He could clearly see that his face had reddened a bit. However, his tone of voice was very destructive as he urged Ye Yan Xi.

Is this Xiao Yu being shy? It had to be said that this was the first time he had seen the usually solemn and calm Xiao Yu. He was shy. He was used to domineering, so he was very straightforward. How could he be so bashful now?

In an instant, Ye Yanxue's heart was filled with happiness, but she still wanted to look at Xiao Yu's embarrassed expression, so she mischievously wanted to tease him. In the past, it had always been her being eaten by Xiao Yu, and this was a rare opportunity.

"I don't understand what you mean if you don't tell me?" Ye Yan Xi pretended not to understand as she looked at Xiao Yu, "Moreover, why did you send me like this for no reason?"

Xiao Yu's expression darkened.

"Does it have to be for any reason? I'll send you off, just take it! " Xiao Yu said in a domineering tone. After he finished speaking, he wanted to give the flowers to Ye Yanxi.

Ye Yan Xi was happy for a while in her heart. She took a step back and said in a serious tone, "If you don't tell me then I won't randomly pick anything from you. What if you do something shameful and give me flowers to coax me?"

Xiao Yu also became impatient. He was infuriated by Ye Yan Xi's few words.

"I just wanted to give you a bunch of flowers. Just take it. There's nothing else, do you want it or not?"

Was this a gift for flowers? Those who didn't know might have thought that the two of them were arguing over something.

Ye Yanxi hesitated in her heart for a moment, thinking if she should say 'no'? She wanted to see what Xiao Yu would do next.

However, the most likely outcome was that he would directly throw the flower through the window.

She only wanted to tease Xiao Yu, not argue with him. Today was Valentine's Day, so Xiao Yu had meticulously prepared such a pleasant surprise.

She hadn't been expecting anything from Qi Xi, but now Xiao Yu had suddenly prepared this move. It was a pleasant surprise.

As such, even Xiao Yu's temper was pleasing to the eye.

Ye Yan Xi stretched out her hand to catch the bouquet of roses, but she was still grumbling in her heart, "I don't know why you should speak of gifting flowers. Why are you being so fierce?"

Xiao Yu turned his face away, coughed lightly, and pushed Ye Yan Xi to the side of the table to sit down. "We came a bit late. I think the food's already cold."

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ye Yan Xi was certain that the CEO had prepared these feelings a long time ago. Perhaps he had been planning this since last night and hadn't told her yet.

"You didn't tell me before." Ye Yan Xi mumbled to herself.

"If you say it, then there will be no surprises. Don't all of you women like scenes of surprises?"

So it was Shen Jingshu who told him this.

It was no wonder that Ye Yanxi was suddenly enlightened in her heart. Even Xiao Yu wouldn't have been able to think of such a thing, it turned out that … There was someone giving him advice from behind the scenes.

"Then yesterday you intentionally told me that you have to work overtime after work. Is that what you prepared?"

Xiao Yu nodded and admitted it.

Ye Yan Xi was about to say something when footsteps came from outside the private room, accompanied by a voice, "You said that my uncle is here with a woman. Is it this private room?"

This voice... It was Chu Beize!

Ye Yan Xi's pupils shrank, it can't be, Chu Beize is also in this restaurant?

While they were still in shock, the door was pushed open from the outside.
