Chapter 537
Today was Monday, so there were still two more days to Wednesday . Besides, why couldn't he tell at home if it was just dinner? Why send it through a text? And why two days in advance . . .
Qiao Anhao replied with an [Oh . ] as she continued to ponder .
Lu Jinnian exhaled, shutting his eyes as he repeated the confession that he had prepared earlier . One word at a time, he pictured himself saying it . When he was sure that everything was perfect, he straightened, continuing with his work .
But the moment he started to read the documents, his mind started to wander . In the end, he put away the documents and pressed onto a line on the telephone . "Prepare the car, I'm going to Li Jing Xuan . "
–
Due to Lu Jinnian's unending requests, the preparation for the venue for his confession was already underway even though it was two days away .
Lu Jinnian's venue was set in the only open-air private room on the top floor of Li Jing Xuan . The moment Qiao Anhao lifted her head, she would see a sky full of stars . When she turned to the side, she would be able to see the night view of the forbidden palace . The view was perfect from all angles, regardless of where she decided to look .
When Lu Jinnian reached the place, there were a few workers on the balcony hanging the colorful lights . Once one of the sides was fully decorated, the manager switched on the lights to test the effects . The colorful lights sparkled, but since it was still daytime, so it wasn't especially beautiful .
The last lights that were turned on were the red at the back with the words: "With you this year, everything is good . " Lu Jinnian's heart squeezed, he felt emotional when he saw the words light up .

On the side of the balcony, there was a wooden table with a large, European style vase nestled on top . The vase was empty, without any flowers, but there was white lace covering it .
As the manager explained the details, he pointed to the stone table at the side of the room . "Mr Lu, we would place a bunch of fresh Chinese Bellflowers over there, and there would be candles surrounding them . Just as you requested, we specifically invited a western chef from overseas to prepare your meal that day, the red wine you requested for has also been prepared . . .
"In order to heat up the atmosphere, we would also decorate the edge of the balcony with colorful flowers . When the night wind blows, their aroma would fill up the place . . . "
While the manager explained the preparations, Lu Jinnian checked every nook and cranny, ensuring that everything was perfect . Nodding, he instructed uneasily, "All the flowers must be the freshest and sent by air . . . The theme is pink and white, Qiao Qiao doesn't like bright red flowers . . .
"For the lilies, choose the milky yellow colored ones, in the past, she had stared at those flowers in the magazine for a long while . . . There must be a lot of Chinese Bellflowers, it's her favorite flower . . . Order every color . . . Oh, the steak has to be fully cooked, Qiao Qiao doesn't like blood in her steak . . For fruits, she likes . . . "
Lu Jinnian had wanted to just inform the manager of her favorite things, but in the end, he repeated every single detail from his order .
On the way out of Li Jing Xuan, he saw a shop selling male clothes . Just then, he seemed to have thought of something new . Facing his assistant, who was driving, he said, "Oh, remember to choose a new set of clothes for me tomorrow, everything from inside to outside must be new . Everything . "

RANK
Alpha of the Darks, Vince, imprints on Nya but keeps it a secret.ExcerptVince was resting in bed running the day's events through his mind when his heightened sense of hearing was alerted to the sound of ruffling sheets. Little feet hit the ground telling him it was a female and the odd placement of footsteps lets him know it wasn't Malina. He rises and when he widens his bedroom door Nya's scent flooded through his nostrils. He clears his throat instinctively and follows the smell into the hall. There he finds her coming straight towards him. He was surprised she was up this soon. She should have been out until the morning at least. Her foot was healed and her clothes were changed from earlier. She was now wearing a fitted cotton t-shirt, soft plaid shorts, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. "What are you doing?" He folds his arms and angles his brows. She keeps her same pace beelined to him.Never, has he ever had the thought of taking a step back when being approached; until now that is. He hesitated. He firmly refused to let anything make him back down. This was his house, his rules, and she had no power over him. His focus inadvertently fell to her breast that lacked cover from a bra, and then to her smooth thighs, and like he has absolutely no control, to her toned calves. She was a foot away when the moon's glow from the skylight illuminated her face. His heart skipped a beat. It had never done that before. Then his train of thought went right off the tracks. He didn't realize how thick her lashes were, or how perfectly red her lips were stained. Where earlier she was pale, she now had a flushed pink color. The darkness from under her eyes was gone and her cheeks were slightly fuller too.He blinks away his unwanted thoughts when she stops inches from him.With a neutral gaze, an expressionless expression almost, she makes a sudden turn and goes around him. "What the f**k?" She was sleepwalking he registered.
