After Tan Nana asked the question, she waited with a somewhat shy expression, but Ye Qiu didn’t reject or accept her as she had imagined. Instead, he smiled and flicked her forehead: "Don’t joke about such things."
She instantly became anxious: "I’m not joking, I’m seriously asking you. Let me be your girlfriend, look at me, I’m young, beautiful, rich, and sensible, taking me out will surely be impressive."
Ye Qiu sighed: "You like me?"
"Uh-huh." Tan Nana nodded eagerly.
"Why?" After asking, he glanced at the table where most of the dishes were still untouched, and added, "Is it because you can’t bear to part with my cooking skills?"
Tan Nana laughed sheepishly: "That’s part of it, but mostly, I like you as a person."
"I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said today. Although I told you not to worry about trivial things, matters of the heart should be considered carefully."
When she saw him reject her, Tan Nana became even more anxious: "You don’t believe that I like you?"
However, Ye Qiu nodded: "I believe."
"Then why don’t you agree?"
"But I don’t like you," Ye Qiu said bluntly, "and I don’t think we’re a good match."
"Feelings can be cultivated, and why aren’t we compatible? See, every time you cook, I clean up, it’s such a good match! And we enjoy our conversations; you never acted like that with Gu Wanqin, you seemed pretentious in front of her, I can tell you’re more relaxed with me."
Ye Qiu was somewhat helpless. He didn’t expect Tan Nana to be so clever, quickly pointing out the differences.
"Moreover, if you have no feelings for me at all, why do you always invite me to eat when you cook? Why do you offer to carry things for me when shopping? And why care about my safety at night, telling me to find you anytime? What man does that if he has no feelings for a woman?" Tan Nana argued more and more confidently with each word.
She saw Ye Qiu open his mouth, thinking he would refute, she hurriedly continued: "I don’t care, you started this, don’t think you can escape responsibility for deceiving my feelings."
Ye Qiu chuckled helplessly: "Looks like you’re determined to tie me down, huh?"
"That’s right, what are you going to do about it?"
Ye Qiu ruffled her hair: "You’ve decided to stick with me, what else can I do?"
Tan Nana couldn’t believe it as she widened her eyes: "You agreed to be my boyfriend?"
"Mm."
"Why?"
Ye Qiu gazed at her affectionately: "Didn’t you say I was the one who deceived your feelings? I can’t possibly be a jerk, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Nana became upset again: "I didn’t force you, if you don’t like me, I won’t force you either."
After saying this, she looked down, feeling dejected.
"Silly girl." Ye Qiu ruffled her hair again, "Like you said, if I have no feelings for you, why would I cook for you? Why would I go shopping with you? Why would I care about you?"
With every word he said, Tan Nana’s eyes lit up more and more, and finally, she was smiling foolishly, without any trace of the arrogant Tan Family Eldest Lady.
"Hurry up and eat, you’ve been avoiding me lately and lost weight. I made this especially for you today, it’ll get cold soon."
"You knew I was avoiding you?" Tan Nana felt embarrassed.
"Wasn’t it obvious? That day I worked late for once and saw your evasive look in the elevator."
"Then why haven’t you looked for me during this time?"
"I wanted to give you time to think it over, after all, being with me could be awkward later on."
Tan Nana pouted: "If anyone’s going to be awkward, it’s them."
Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile. Actually, he didn’t know when he started to feel good about Tan Nana. Perhaps it was the day he knew she wanted to save him but stayed patient to drink tea with him for half the night. He realized that not only did she not turn bad, she was incredibly kind, and he started to admire her.
And just like she said, whether it’s the original him loving Gu Wanqin, he acted reserved in front of her, but he was always relaxed facing Tan Nana, perhaps because she always faced him with her true nature, making their interactions easy.
He had never planned to be single forever, not just because his grandmother wanted him to marry and have children, but also to avoid any suspicion from Ye Yanting and guilt towards Gu Wanqin. More importantly, he truly liked Tan Nana, and she liked him too, so why hold back?
After the meal, Tan Nana still cleared the table, their altered relationship didn’t change this.
Then Ye Qiu noticed Tan Nana staring at a wall, and asked: "What are you studying?"
Tan Nana excitedly looked at him: "Let’s knock down this wall, then I can come over anytime."
Ye Qiu laughed: "This is a load-bearing wall, the property management would find you first thing if you dare to knock it down."
"Ah!" Tan Nana was extremely disappointed, then felt a stir within: "Or I could move in?"
"In such a rush? Aren’t you afraid I’m just playing around?"
Tan Nana grinned: "You’re not that kind of person."
"We’ll talk about it later." Ye Qiu didn’t agree to live together, "At least get your parents’ approval first."
Though a bit disappointed, Tan Nana didn’t push it, thinking that since they’re neighbors now, she could always come over whenever she wanted.
After dinner, they went for a walk, holding hands for the first time, and happened to meet an old lady downstairs taking care of her son’s kids: "I knew you two would end up together, congratulations."
"Thank you, auntie." Tan Nana smiled shyly, without even looking, she knew how embarrassed she was right now, something she never experienced when pursuing Ye Yanting.
"Today I let you stand your friends up, tell them I’ll treat them to a meal sometime, wash up early and rest well, goodnight."
"Wait a moment." Tan Nana called him.
"What’s up?"
Just as he finished speaking, she hugged him and stood on her tiptoes to give him a light but very sweet kiss.
"Goodnight." Tan Nana whispered softly.
Ye Qiu kissed her forehead: "Sweet dreams."
Tan Nana practically floated home, she never imagined how wonderful being in love felt, something she never felt when pursuing Ye Yanting. Then she couldn’t help but question herself, did she ever really like Ye Yanting?
She felt uncertain, thinking it was mainly due to Ye Yanting’s indifference that made her persist.
