My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 397 - 010: Chance Encounter_2

Ye Lingran smiled and nodded, "You could say so! Half for work, half for pleasure!""Are you alone?"

"No, there are two of us. I was just about to find him, so I was a bit rushed and didn’t pay attention to the road." Ye Lingran’s words were gentle and poised. She nodded to him again, "Sorry, I must go now. Have a nice trip."

"Hey..." The man watched her back, sighed helplessly.

His friend came over, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Everyone says Jiang City is a city for romance. I didn’t believe it at first. After all, we’ve been here for three days and haven’t had a single romantic encounter. But then Ah Yan met someone at Yu Hong Food Street today. Tsk! Look at you, head over heels. That girl looked so pretty, with such an amazing presence. You should’ve just asked for her contact info!"

"Exactly! You’re really bad at seizing the moment. People here are probably all tourists, so it’s likely you won’t see her again. Only a one percent chance." Another friend echoed, standing beside him.

Jiang Suie glared at the two of them, "Didn’t you hear she said there are two of them! What if she has a boyfriend? Moreover... it’s our first meeting today. Suddenly asking for her contact info would seem too abrupt and impolite!"

"You wish for a second meeting! But is it possible? You don’t even know where that girl is from. Oh, forget it, forget it. Considering how long you’ve been single, it’s not without reason. Let’s go! See if Lai Lai and them have finished shopping." The boy with his hand on his shoulder shook his head, locking his neck and leading him forward.

Around three or four minutes later, Ye Lingran saw a handsome face appear in her view. Her steps paused. Yun Qi, about four or five meters away, also stopped when he saw her. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and taking larger steps towards her, he said, "This place is really big. Almost got lost just now."

Ye Lingran chuckled softly, took a tissue out of her bag and handed it to him, "It’s so cold, yet you’re sweating. You can walk slower."

"I didn’t want you to wait too long." Yun Qi took the tissue, wiped his forehead and smiled, "Have you had dinner?"

Ye Lingran noticed he hadn’t completely wiped away the sweat, so she took out another tissue and raised her hand to help him, "No, but while walking on this street, I was eating. So I’m okay, and you?"

Yun Qi didn’t mind her touch. In fact, he slightly lowered his head to help her reach him, concerned she might get tired holding her hand up, replying softly, "I ate a bit at a dinner event, but not much. Walking along this street, I’m actually getting a bit hungry."

"What would you like to eat? This street has no shortage of food." Ye Lingran withdrew her hand, smiling at him.

"Great, then let’s explore together."

"Yeah."

Walking side by side, when passing by a rice sausage shop, Ye Lingran looked at it a couple more times, Yun Qi noticed and asked with a smile, "Want some?"

"Yeah, it seems delicious."

"Shall we get some to try?"

"Sure."

They bought a skewer of rice sausages, Yun Qi handed it to her mouth first. Under his gaze, Ye Lingran felt a bit shy, so she tidied her hair and looked away, softly biting a piece of the sausage, happily raising an eyebrow, nodding, "Mm, it’s tasty."

"Really?"

"Yeah, try it."

Yun Qi tried one too and laughed, "You know, this is my first time, growing up, eating something like this at a street food market. It’s quite a nice experience."

"Well, you should have a good experience today."

"Yeah, for sure."

The two of them continued to wander side by side. Though they didn’t hold hands, each time they spotted something they wanted to eat, they’d stop, buy a little bit to taste. They seemed just like a couple, making the sweetness in Ye Lingran’s heart grow more and more.

Until it was past midnight, the cold night breeze swept in, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Tiredness slowly set in, especially since she was wearing a pair of high-heeled ankle boots. Although the heels weren’t that high, walking all day made them hurt a bit.

Noticing her discomfort, Yun Qi glanced at her feet, pursed his lips, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, asking with concern, "Feet hurt?"
