Chapter 127 - "I can promise you that, but I have a request in exchange." (2)

His voice was deep and sexy. Chi Ying’s cheeks blushed and she went silent.

Seeing that she had fell silent, Lu JingYan felt nervous immediately. “Do you… not like it?”

When he asked her that, they had already walked past the dark stretch of road and they could start seeing the lanterns.

From each of them to groups of them to the entire area being covered in lanterns.

Chi Ying was surprised. The number lanterns seemed more than she remembered from a couple of days ago.

The entire artificial lake was lit up.

It was spectacular, magnificent, and dreamlike.

Chi Ying still remembered that just two days ago Chi Cheng had bounced into the crowd and they were surrounded by other visitors.

She had picked him up and over her head.

Chi Cheng’s field of vision opened up immediately and the lanterns made his childish face colorful. He couldn't help but said, “Mom, look, it’s so pretty. And there’s even a giant panda over there.”

It was very pretty. Unfortunately, it was also too crowded.

There were Chi Cheng’s favorite animal lanterns at the lantern show but it was very difficult for him to get close to them.

Even just taking a picture with any of them was proven very difficult.

Chi Cheng would probably had been happier if it wasn’t for the crowed that was almost a deterrent.

She turned and looked at the noble-like man next to her.

He was strong. So strong that would make other envious.

Her eyes curved and clear. “Yes, I like it. Very, very much so.”

The air was fresh and the night sky clear. There were flashing of red and blue lights from the sky.

Inside the first-class cabin, Yue Zhuo woke up from a fine dream, yawned and stretched languidly.

The shields over the window had already been opened by the cabin crew and the flight was landing.

Not being able to use his cellphone inflight, Yue Zhuo looked out of the window mindlessly.

The plane had already entered into the city’s zone and it seemed like it was just now flying over the landmark park in the center of the city.

Right now, with his god’s view, he could see the entire stretch of lanterns.

Yue Zhuo was a little stunned and immediately muttered a few “shoots”. “Ooooooh my god. What is this?! A scene to profess one’s love? Here I was wondering why Lu JingYan had a sudden interest in a lantern show. That sure is a big move on his part. Ooooooooh…”

Yue Zhuo quickly pulled out his cellphone and snapped dozens of pictures with the camera on his phone.

The plane landed in the international airport after a few minutes. Taxing on the runway, there was signals to his phone.

As much as the overhead announcement warned against using one’s cellphone right now, Zhou Yi turned on his data anyway and sent the pictures to Chi Ying.

He also sent a few texts to Lu JingYan:

“You are the boss, Boss Lu~~~~~~~~”

“You’ve finally took my advice and made a move~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

“If it works out, I am expecting dinner and a red envelope~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Walking along the main road of the park, Chi Ying and Lu JingYan arrived at the lake before they knew it.

Tens of thousands of lanterns lined the lake and ripples after ripples formed on the surface of it. Lights and shadows overlapped each other.

There were two images reflected on the surface of the lake. One of them tall and broad, the other slim.

Even if other guests were allowed into the park and the place was packed with their visions blocked, they two of them would still doubtless be the enter of attention.

Right, right then and there, it was quiet all around. The only lights there were from the lanterns but it didn’t seem very deserted.

With the night breeze on her cheeks and the tender lights, Chi Ying hadn’t felt this relaxed in a very long time.

Her heart heavy, but she suddenly felt that words came easy.

She asked him softly, “Have you been busy? Jiang Chong told me that you kept on working when you were sick?”

Lu JingYan’s face stiffened. He was a bit nervous, “Jiang Chong contacted you? What else did he say?”

Chi Ying pursed her lips, “Nothing much.”

Lu JingYan frowned slightly; his voice soft. “He was lying. Just ignore him.”
