Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Candlelight Dinner

Rong Shaoze narrowed his eyes with a smile, "You’ve even bribed my secretary."

"I just told her not to tell you for the time being, that’s not bribing." Lin Xinlan smiled, her playfulness tinged with slyness.

The room wasn’t lit, save for the three candles placed on the table.

In the candlelight, her smile was beautiful, surrounded by a soft halo that set Rong Shaoze’s heart aflutter.

"Xinlan..." he looked at her tenderly and affectionately, "are you planning to have a candlelit dinner with me today?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Lin Xinlan asked with a smile.

Rong Shaoze nodded eagerly: "Of course I like it! But why did you want to have a candlelit dinner with me?"

He stared at her intently, waiting for her answer.

Lin Xinlan lifted her wine glass, smiling faintly, "No reason, I just felt like it, so I did."

"I don’t believe that. There must be a reason. For instance, if you really wanted to have a candlelit dinner with me, I would accept that reason."

He was hinting for her to give that reason.

Lin Xinlan smiled and nodded: "That’s right, I wanted to have a candlelit dinner with you, so I came here to arrange it."

Rong Shaoze’s eyes lit up, gleaming brightly, making him look very handsome.

"Why choose this place?"

Lin Xinlan really couldn’t stand him at times, she said speechlessly, "Can you not question everything?"

The man sat beside her, his long arm encircled her, pulling the petite her into his embrace. He looked at her and slowly began, "Of course I need to ask, because I want to know what you’re thinking."

Even though she had reconciled with him, he still felt a bit uneasy inside, always fearing she was somewhat elusive, that if he wasn’t careful, he could let her slip away.

He needed to constantly affirm her feelings for him, only then could he feel somewhat reassured.

Under his intense gaze, Lin Xinlan looked down bashfully and said with a smile, "I chose this place because our fate began here, and it’s also where we first met."

He knew that was the reason.

Rong Shaoze’s heart surged, he hugged her tight, kissing her lips uncontrollably.

After a long while, he managed to let her go, and Lin Xinlan leaned in his embrace, somewhat out of breath.

"Xinlan, have you let go of the shadows I cast over you in the past?" he caressed her head and asked softly.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen this place for a candlelit dinner with him.

Lin Xinlan closed her eyes and nodded, "I let go of it a long time ago."

Even the most profound hurt had faded away in the depth of his love for her.

Rong Shaoze felt he had no more to wish for.

The man he was now, very proud, for he was the biggest winner in life.

He not only had an outstanding son but also the best woman, his life really was complete.

Lin Xinlan lay quietly against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, greedily absorbing his scent.

Soon, all of this would no longer belong to her, nor would she feel it again.

Let her just enjoy it for a few more seconds.

"The steak is getting cold, let’s eat quickly." She pushed him away firmly, saying as if nothing was amiss.

Rong Shaoze looked at the steak and laughed, "Did you make this?"

"Mhm, have a taste and see how it is." She cut a piece and fed it to him. Rong Shaoze ate seriously, his expression content.

"How does it taste?" Lin Xinlan asked expectantly.
