I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

"Deliberately avoiding us?"

"Yes, I only discovered this company a few days ago. They had been operating quietly before, but now that they've grown so big, they can't hide it anymore."

After Lin Zhengran finished his last bite and put down his utensils, Jiang Qian looked at him thoughtfully and asked curiously, "How was the meal tonight?"

Lin Zhengran felt that Jiang Qian's topic was really jumping around, and praised, "It's quite good. This restaurant is expensive for a reason, especially... these dishes are basically all my favorites."

Jiang Qian took a sip of wine and looked at Lin Zhengran with a cool gaze: "It's quite a coincidence, he's also someone I like."

Jiang Qian is not a picky eater. She believes that as long as the chef is skilled, any food can be made delicious. So after learning about Lin Zhengran's favorite foods, Jiang Qian's taste in food became similar to Lin Zhengran's.

It's true that she eats like that every day, so it's not untrue that she likes it.

There was a knock at the door. Jiang Qian said "Come in," and the lobby manager came in carrying a dessert.
"Esteemed guests, I am the manager of this restaurant. In recognition of your meal tonight, we are pleased to offer you a complimentary dessert set, which has been carefully prepared by our chefs. Please enjoy it."

Jiang Qian showed no expression, while Lin Zhengran said thank you.

The two cut off a piece with their knives and forks and put it in their mouths. The dessert was indeed rich in flavor, but not overly sweet, and there was a lingering aftertaste.

Jiang Qian: "It tastes good."

The lobby manager nodded: "Thank you."

While eating dessert, Lin Zhengran inadvertently glanced at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The lobby manager laughed and said, "If the two guests had come a month earlier, they could have seen that flower bed."

Lin Zhengran asked curiously, "Flower bed?"

The lobby manager pointed to a dark spot in the city:

"That's the place. In the summer, there are many brightly colored flowers, and there are fountain shows at night. It's very famous here. It's a well-known place for confessions of love. It's said that couples who confess their love there will be together forever."

Lin Zhengran looked at the dark circular spot without paying attention; there are many such legends of couples staying together forever all over the world.

It's all basically for publicity.

When Han Wenwen was in junior high school, she talked in her sleep when she was sick and mentioned that it also happened in the South...
He casually replied, "Really? That's really amazing."

However, Jiang Qian took Lin Zhengran's words to heart as she gazed into the darkness.

It's amazing that Lin Zhengran said this place is amazing!
"Do couples who confess their love in this place really stay together forever?" she asked the manager in a cold voice.

The lobby manager laughed and said, "Of course it's true. Everyone says it's very effective, otherwise it wouldn't be so famous. It's just a pity... this place is going to be demolished soon."

He smiled helplessly: "They said they were going to turn it into an art signpost, so it probably won't be there next year. That's why I said it would have been better if you two had come a little earlier."

Jiang Qian frowned: "Teared it down? Why?"

The lobby manager explained, "They say it's hindering urban development. This flower bed was already quite large, and it's also close to the road, so removing it for the safety of tourists is understandable. However, it does mean we've lost a stunning attraction."

Lin Zhengran stared at that spot and said softly, "That's a real pity."

As Jiang Qian listened to Lin Zhengran's words, she looked again at the flower bed in the darkness, pursed her lips, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Confessing your love here guarantees you'll be with the person you love forever.
The dinner party ended tonight in an unusually ordinary manner. Jiang Qian and Lin Zhengran walked downstairs side by side.

Looking at the bustling and bright city.

Jiang Qian: "That's all for tonight then. Thank you for coming out for dinner."

"There's no need to thank me." Lin Zhengran took out a delicate little box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Qian.

"Hey, I have a gift for you."

Jiang Qian stared blankly at the small box in Lin Zhengran's hand: "A gift?" She found it hard to believe: "For me?"

Lin Zhengran: "You helped me last week, so I should have treated you to this meal. But when I called the restaurant this afternoon after you gave me the location, they said you had already paid. So I thought I'd give you a gift instead as a thank you gift. I made it myself."

Jiang Qian was stunned, her aloof eyes flickering: "Made by hand..."

She took the box with both hands, staring at it blankly: "Can I open it and see what's inside?"

"of course."

Jiang Qian slowly untied the ribbon and carefully opened the box, revealing an exquisite piano model inside. Though small, the piano was full of detail, ornate and refined, complete with all its internal components.

Even Jiang Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "Such beautiful craftsmanship... Did you make such a complex model by hand?"

For Lin Zhengran, anything complex can be made quickly as long as he has the materials. He even added a little spiritual energy to this gift when he made it in the afternoon. Placing it in the bedroom can have a calming and relaxing effect on people.

"Well, it only looks complicated, but it's actually very simple to do."

Jiang Qian held it like a precious treasure, her cheeks flushed: "Thank you... I will cherish it."

Lin Zhengran said goodbye: "Then I'm leaving. I had a very enjoyable meal tonight. I'll keep what you said in mind and keep an eye on it. Bye-bye."

Jiang Qian looked up, her usually cold tone softening only when speaking to him: "Bye-bye, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Lin Zhengran took a taxi and left.

Jiang Qian watched Lin Zhengran disappear at the end of the intersection before looking down at the exquisite piano model again.

A happy smile unconsciously curved her lips, her pupils sparkling: "I'm so happy with the gift he made for me..."

Half an hour ago, on a street in this bustling city.

An Audi was driving down the street, and in the back seat, a man in a suit was resting his head on his hand.

There were people sitting in both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.

The driver chuckled and said, "Mr. Yang, we closed another deal tonight. I must say, our boss is really amazing. After her training, things have been going so smoothly for us lately."

The co-pilot also said, "Our boss may be young, but he's a true genius in every way."

The man in the back seat reminded the driver:
"Stop acting all high and mighty like before. Call me boss. I'll say it again, change these bad habits. Stop talking like a thug. Don't cause trouble for me and the boss. If you don't know where to go, go back to where you left off."

The driver instinctively slapped his own face, somewhat frightened: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I should call you boss, I forgot again."

The passenger in the front seat was also sweating and dared not make a sound.

The Audi slowly came to a stop at the intersection.

The man got out of the car, and the driver and the passenger in the front seat also got out.

They walked all the way to the end before spotting a figure. The man in the lead, named Zhang Yang, nodded respectfully to the woman: "Boss."

The two people behind them also shouted, "Good evening, boss."

The woman slowly emerged from the shadows, her long, silvery-white hair particularly striking.

The pretty young woman stared at the man expressionlessly: "How are the business deals going lately?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "No problem, don't worry." He handed the folder to the other person and said, "This is what you asked me to bring. Business has been going very well at the company lately."

The woman took it and looked through it carefully: "I've been a bit busy lately and can't go to the company as often as I do when I'm on vacation."

Zhang Yang replied loyally, "I will pay more attention. Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you."

The other person didn't look up: "No need, I have something to do later, I can only come out for a short while."

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, then could only nod.

"Then you can contact me anytime if you need anything, and I will take care of it for you immediately."

The woman continued flipping through the documents:

"I'm fine. Just do as I say and handle the tasks I've assigned you. Remember, the Jiang Group isn't doing well lately and is developing new products. If there's any conflict with our company's business, even if it doesn't make money, don't cause them any trouble."

Zhang Yang nodded: "I understand. You said before that even if we lose money, we can't get involved with the Jiang Group and Zhengshi Company."

"Just remember this."
