Yiyao considered for a while then she finally said, “Fine.”
The sales girl saw her boss and hurried came up, “Mr. Ye.”
“Yes. Go back to your work.” Jingyan Ye didn’t want anyone to take away his great job of
accompanying Yiyao.
“Yes, sir.”
Yityao’s eyes had been broadened a lot after walking around with him in the mall. She complemented
sincerely, “The clothes in your store indeed look better than that of others.”
“Have a look. Which one do you like?” Jingyan looked at her gently and softly.
Yiyao saw a set of suit and liked it very much. There were lotus on the white back ground and there's
dark pink lotus on the shoulder. The suit could make people look young and energetic.
“This suit looks nice.”
“My mom would be glad to hear you say so.”
“Why?” Yiyao was surprised.
“Because this suit was designed by my mom.” Jingyan replied and asked the sales girl to find a right
size for her.
“Your mom is a designer?”
“Yes, a very famous designer. But now she seldom designs clothes now. She only does it when she
feels like it. This is one of her works.” Jingyan said proudly.
“Mrs. Ye is so great!”
“Go try it on.”
Wearing the suit, Yiyao stood in front of the mirror and her smile looked beautiful. And she looked
beautiful, too.
“Yiyao.”
She heard a sound and turned around. “Click!” Jingyan took a photo of her, whose brown eyes were
glittering on her smiling face. She stood there just like a lotus. She looked both pure and classy.
“Let me see. How do I look?” Yiyao came close to him naturally. On seeing the picture, she started to
laugh, “Oh I look better in here!”
“You look as good as in the picture.” Jingyan said softly.
“You can keep this picture. Do not show it to anyone.”
“Of course, I’ll keep it to myself.” How could he let anyone see how beautiful Yiyao was.
“I’ll wear this for lunch. I am sure the engineer will fall in love with me.” Yiyao raised her chin and
smiled.
Jingyan was stunned. This was not what he wanted.
“You want to make him fall in love with you?”
“If I like him too, then my dad should be happy.”
Jingyan gritted his teeth and pointed to the clothes of light color and said, “Try this one. It looks good
too.”
Yiyao refused him directly, “No. I like this suit. It’s about that time. Let’s go.”
Jingyan looked at her beautiful figure and felt gloomy. He had no choice but to follow her.
It was a Chinese restaurant where they were going to meet.
Jingyan and Yiyao stepped in the restaurant five minutes earlier.
“Maybe he’s not here yet.” Yiyao looked around and said, “Let me call him.”
And the guy said he would be here soon.
Jingyan helped her find an conspicuous table and he himself sat by the table next to her, where he
could see the guy’s face clearly.
“Soon” meant “Ten minutes.” Yiyao waited for ten minutes before she finally saw a man coming in. Her
intuition told her that this was the man she had been waiting for.
That man lowered his head to dial, and the next second, Yiyao’s phone rang.
Following the ringtone, that man saw Yiyao. Jingyan could clearly see the delight in that man’s eyes.
Huh! A superficial man! Jingyan judged in his heart.
Yiyao was strict with time because of the nature of her work. In her eyes, one minute late could cause
the delay of a fighter aircraft; five minutes late could mean the complete defeat for an army.
So, five points were deducted for bad first impression.
Though he looked tall and handsome, it’s unforgivable for being late!
“Hi, I am Hongguang Wang.”
Yiyao got up and shook his hand lightly. “Hi, I am Yiyao Duan. Please be seated.”
The two were both seated and Hongguang called the waiter. Yiyao was already hungry after the whole
morning’s walk and went ahead to order two meat dishes which were spicy. Hongguang raised his
eyebrow slightly and ordered two vegetable dishes.
“My dad said you are a colonel. How great!” Hongguang paid her a compliment.
Yiyao smiled politely and said humbly, “Oh no, I want to be a colonel. But I don’t know if I can realize
this dream.”
“Are you going to keep staying in the army?” Hongguang asked in surprise.
“Of course. Or what else can I do?”
Hongguang was stunned, “I thought you date because you are leaving the army.”
Yiyao showed a serious look, “I am a soldier, and nothing can change this fact.”
“But you need to get married!”
“So what? You mean soldiers can’t get married?” Yiyao smiled lightly but she looked quite aggressive,
which made Hongguang so uncomfortable.”
Feeling awkward and to ease the tense, Hongguang explained, “No, please don’t get me wrong. My
dad is a soldier and I respect soldiers. I just want to get to know you.”
“Okay.” Yiyao lost interest in him right away. This man has a handsome face but a conservative heart.
Does he really think women should belong to the families when they get married? She thought to
herself.
Jingyan felt so proud of his decision of coming here today. He could totally understand how Yiyao felt.
As long as he could be with Yiyao, he would like to do anything. After all, time and place are never
problems to him.
