The two reached the mountaintop somewhat awkwardly. Seeing the lingering clouds and feeling the cool morning breeze, Gu Wanqin seemed to instantly feel better. She closed her eyes and gently enjoyed this temporary comfort.
Beside her, Ye Yanting looked at her with near greed, his eyes full of turbulence. He held back, but ultimately couldn’t resist kissing her lips.
Gu Wanqin was startled and retreated swiftly, looking at him with an expression of horror: "What are you doing?"
Ye Yanting looked at her and said, "Kissing you."
Gu Wanqin was both angry and annoyed. Seeing more people heading up the mountain, she refrained from yelling and instead asked in a deep voice: "I am your elder sister-in-law! You shouldn’t be doing this."
"You’re not married yet, and someone once said if a girl closes her eyes, it means she’s inviting the man beside her to kiss her. Wasn’t that what you meant just now?"
"You..." Gu Wanqin was so angry her face turned red. She raised her foot ready to go down the mountain.
Ye Yanting finally started to panic; he hurriedly grabbed her wrist, admitting his mistake almost pleadingly: "I was wrong, can you stay? We rarely spend time alone like this, the scenery is so beautiful, don’t you want to take some photos?"
Gu Wanqin pursed her lips, glaring at him one last time: "Don’t overdo it."
Ye Yanting curved his mouth into a smile and stopped speaking, picking up the camera with a very good mood and taking photos, occasionally instructing Gu Wanqin to pose. If Gu Wanqin didn’t cooperate, he would scare her with Ye Qiu.
"That’s enough." Gu Wanqin glared, "You’ve taken enough photos."
"Just one more." He said, putting away the camera and handed his phone to someone next to him, asking for help to take a photo. Then he stood beside Gu Wanqin, aggressively wrapping his arm around her shoulder. Before Gu Wanqin had time to react, the beautiful photo was already taken.
"Thanks, buddy." Ye Yanting admired the photo on his phone incessantly and finally couldn’t resist setting it as his wallpaper.
"You’re crazy." Gu Wanqin tried to grab it, "What if your brother sees it?"
Ye Yanting raised his hand, preventing her from touching it: "My brother won’t look at my phone, it’s fine."
Gu Wanqin was exasperated: "What exactly do you want?"
Ye Yanting gazed deeply at her: "You know my feelings."
Gu Wanqin turned her head awkwardly: "But I am your brother’s fiancée."
Ye Yanting clenched his fist, finally pounding on the mountain railing. It took a while before he said with a hoarse voice: "Weren’t we going down the mountain? Let’s go, the sun will be strong soon. After we get down, it’ll be just in time for lunch."
Gu Wanting silently followed behind him, her eyes full of sorrow. How could she not know Ye Yanting’s feelings? But she met Ye Qiu first, and before she could figure it all out, her family arranged an engagement with Ye Qiu.
At the time, she thought perhaps it was just a fleeting attraction, and it would settle down after the engagement. After all, compared to Ye Yanting, Ye Qiu was more suitable for a marriage alliance, more suitable as a husband.
Ye Qiu, though young, already had a place in the Ye Family. Even her father occasionally praised his abilities, and Ye Qiu was gentle and highly respectful to her. Whatever they did, he would consult her wishes. At that time, she thought even if there was no love initially, they would certainly be a happy couple after marriage.
But matters of the heart are truly unpredictable. At the time, she valued Ye Qiu’s maturity, stability, gentleness, and thoughtfulness, but Ye Yanting’s assertiveness and unexpected surprises always gave her unexpected delight. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, the joy and heartbeats she felt with Ye Yanting couldn’t be faked. Sometimes, she was even eager to see what Ye Yanting would do next to make her heart race.
"Let’s eat steak. I know a newly opened restaurant that’s quite good." Ye Yanting said as he walked ahead.
Gu Wanqin responded with a simple "Okay." If it were Ye Qiu, he would definitely ask for her opinion. Normally, they would eat wherever she suggested. But when with Ye Yanting, it was always he who decided.
Actually, she had a bit of choice paralysis. Whenever Ye Qiu asked her, she wasn’t sure how to answer. To prevent awkwardness, she always mentioned the same two restaurants, and they would each order two favorite dishes, quietly finish, and then he’d drop her off.
Ye Qiu wasn’t inadequate, but she was, after all, just over twenty years old, always hoping for surprises from a man, instead of living in perpetual peace.
Arriving at the restaurant, Gu Wanqin realized something was different here. Each table was separated, and both the decorating style and music gave off a warm and romantic vibe.
"This place is..." she stood at the door, not moving.
Ye Yanting seemed perfectly natural: "A lovers’ restaurant. The steak here is quite good. What, afraid to go in and eat with me?"
"No," Gu Wanqin answered defiantly, although she did feel a bit awkward.
Though it was daytime, the dining tables in small cubicles were adorned with candles. Red roses were sprayed with a slightly sweet perfume by the staff, adding some ambiguous atmosphere.
Ye Yanting even ordered wine, pouring a glass for Gu Wanqin with a burning gaze, raising his eyebrows to toast her.
Gu Wanqin knew that Ye Yanting wouldn’t let her off unless she drank the wine today, so she sighed softly. She found the taste quite nice upon entrance, not harsh on the throat; drinking it was more like tasting sweet fruit juice. She secretly curved her lips at his thoughtfulness.
"You’ve finally smiled, like I’m something to guard against all day." Ye Yanting’s expression softened, he let his guard down, "Wanqin, I won’t deliberately hurt you."
Gu Wanqin murmured: "I know."
During the entire meal, Ye Yanting was incredibly considerate, not only pouring her wine but even personally cutting her steak. Even the pasta she didn’t like ended up being eaten by him.
Unbeknownst to them, they finished the bottle of wine, and Gu Wanqin felt somewhat dizzy. Eventually, Ye Yanting helped her out of the restaurant.
"Do you want to watch a movie? I know your favorite movie star has a new release. My brother definitely hasn’t watched it with you."
Gu Wanqin was tempted, and feeling woozy, she followed him.
It was a workday, so there weren’t many people at the Cinema. Especially since they were watching an art film, and it was around two or three in the afternoon, even fewer people showed up; besides the two of them, there was only another couple.
Ye Yanting bought a couple’s seat, and after sitting down, he turned Gu Wanqin’s head so she leaned on his shoulder. The movie started, and Gu Wanqin’s attention was drawn to the screen. As the plot developed, she didn’t notice Ye Yanting’s breathing growing heavier.
It was also this art film that told a story about a couple, with many intimate scenes inside. They had both drunk wine, bringing a hot atmosphere. Especially when Ye Yanting saw the couple in front of them getting cozy, the atmosphere became even more heated.
