Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 508 Stay With Me (2)



Xiao Rufeng knew that she would eventually leave the Yan Mansion, but neither she nor Yan Xiuchen spoke about it that day. They spent the rest of the day doing their own tasks at work until the working hours ended.

When she tidied up her small desk, she found Yan Xiuchen standing in front of her with a slight flush on his face. It made his scar more prominent in her gaze, but it didn't bother her at all. After their intimate conversation during lunch, she felt that she could be more at ease in his company.

"What is it?" She asked. She wondered if these feelings she had for him were nothing but platonic and couldn't turn into a romantic one.

"I was thinking…" Xiao Rufeng saw the hesitation on his face, "I was thinking if I could invite you for dinner."

"We dine together every day since I came here." She pointed out, and she could see a hint of disappointment crossing his face, "but if tonight's a special one, does it mean I need to dress up?"

He cleared his throat and looked away, reprimanding himself for acting like a boy in front of his crush. Xiao Rufeng was willing to get to know him better, and he couldn't possibly waste this chance if it meant that he could be with her in the future.

"You don't need to. You are beautiful just the way you are." He said it so low that Xiao Rufeng would totally miss it had it not been for him standing so close to her.

Xiao Rufeng couldn't resist and smiled at that.

"You flirt. I didn't know you could be this charming."

He flushed more and pressed his lips together.

"It's just a simple dinner and a movie night if you are up for it." He said in response.

Since he couldn't take her out for a decent romantic dinner date because of the agreement he had with Su Xiaofei, Yan Xiuchen could only ask his butler for help to prepare a special dinner tonight.

"A movie night?" Xiao Rufeng raised a slender brow at him. "You sure we can have it here?"

"I have an entertainment room solely for that reason. With so many unused rooms here, it would be a waste not to use some of it." He shrugged.

"I suppose we have a date. I'll see you later then?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded and opened the door for her. She bid her thanks, her lips curling into that beautiful smile he wouldn't get tired of seeing. He couldn't wait for tonight's dinner and hoped that everything would go according to his plan.

Xiao Rufeng showed up to dinner ten minutes early, a bit on edge. She hadn't been on a date for about five years now, and it's been a long time since she went out with any man. Still, it didn't stop her from dressing up nicely tonight.

She dressed casually, wearing a pair of black leggings and stylish brown boots. She wore a nice scarf over her sweater to protect herself from the extra coldness of the night and put on light makeup on her face. Xiao Rufeng also made sure to wear her long hair in a pull through braid.

Still, when she knocked on the door of the dining room, it still surprised her that it was Yan Xiuchen who opened the doors for her and not his elderly butler. Her brows shot up in surprise seeing his outfit, tonight.

Yan Xiuchen wasn't wearing his usual dark business suits, but instead was wearing a white sweater with navy jeans that gave him a cool, casual look without much effort.

"Woah, you look good tonight, Yan Xiuchen." She blurted out. Since she had decided to see where this attraction would take her, Xiao Rufeng had dropped the formality between them and regarded him with his name.

"Not like you usually don't look as good as this, but I think these clothes suit you very well." She added.

Yan Xiuchen looked flustered, not used to receiving compliments like this.

"Thanks!" He replied, before turning away to shut the door behind her.

When Xiao Rufeng turned to face him, she was surprised again to see a rose that greeted her.

"Is this for me?" She gasped. "Oh, how silly of me. Of course, it is."

She then took the rose from his hand and gently touched its petals. Indeed, it really felt like a long time since someone had treated her like this, and Xiao Rufeng couldn't stop the smile spreading on her lips.

"Thank you." She murmured and gently pressed her lips to the flower.

As she expected, Yan Xiuchen made sure that their dinner tonight was extra special. The food was delicious and the dessert he handed her was spectacular.

"How did you know that this is my favorite?" She asked Yan Xiuchen to have a piece of her chocolate melting cake. The caramel sauce drizzled on top of the vanilla ice cream added another layer of flavor to her favorite dessert.

"I read one of your interviews for a magazine before. It mentioned that you like this dessert from a particular coffee shop, so I placed an order and had it delivered here."

Xiao Rufeng stared at him with awe. He did that just for her? It must have been hard to keep the dessert intact since the very coffee shop he mentioned was in Qiying City and was made by her dear friend, the shop owner, Shen Jiao.

"By the way, do you have any plans after this arrangement is over?" Yan Xiuchen suddenly asked, and just like that her mood changed.

The smile on her face slightly faltered. Having this arrangement end meant she didn't have any more reason to see Yan Xiuchen and that she needed to face the ultimatum Su Xiaofei had given her.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xiuchen asked, and she could see that he was regretting asking her that question.
