Chapter 32 -32 Performing Well
Only after finishing ordering and having the waiter leave did Song You finally find the time to start staring at Xie Yanchuan without blinking, as if trying to see right through him.
It was the first time Xie Yanchuan had encountered such a situation, and to tell the truth, he felt a bit nervous when being scrutinized by Song You, almost as if he was worried that Song You might have some objections about him.
Although it was just a first meeting, because of Xu Jinzhi’s influence, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t ignore Song You’s opinions about him, which felt quite strange, and Xie Yanchuan didn’t know how to describe it.
After Song You had been staring at him for quite a while, Xie Yanchuan took the initiative to say, “Miss Song, if there’s anything you’d like to know, you can ask me directly.”
“Since that’s the case, I won’t be polite!” Song You immediately said, as if her previous silence had been in anticipation of Xie Yanchuan’s invitation.
Then, Song You began to question him like an interrogator, asking in detail.
Xie Yanchuan cooperated fully, answering earnestly whatever Song You asked.
Song You expressed her satisfaction, although she didn’t know how truthful his words were; at least Xie Yanchuan’s attitude was very genuine.
Seeing that Song You wasn’t dissatisfied with him, Xie Yanchuan subtly breathed a sigh of relief, the vague unease of the afternoon finally settling down in that moment.
Xie Yanchuan even looked towards Xu Jinzhi, his eyes carrying a touch of joy, as if seeking a reward.
Xu Jinzhi gave Xie Yanchuan an affirmative look, making the smile at Xie Yanchuan’s lips more pronounced.
The meeting tonight went very smoothly, although it started a bit awkwardly, Xie Yanchuan was much more relaxed during the latter half.
It wasn’t until they finished dining and left the restaurant, as they were preparing to part ways, that Song You seriously said to Xie Yanchuan, “You must never mistreat Jinzhi, she’s my absolute best friend. If you hurt her, I won’t let you off.”
“Mm,” Xie Yanchuan nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Xie Yanchuan couldn’t offer much more emotion, Song You didn’t continue, instead, she got into the passenger seat, waiting for Xu Jinzhi to come over and drive her home.
This was the moment when Xu Jinzhi finally had the chance to speak alone with Xie Yanchuan.
“You did well today,” Xu Jinzhi teased.
Xie Yanchuan just slightly pursed his lips, looking at Xu Jinzhi with a faint smile in his eyes.
Xu Jinzhi really adored the way Xie Yanchuan looked right now, almost wishing she could elope with him then, but obviously, that wasn’t possible today.
Xu Jinzhi looked regretfully at Xie Yanchuan and then quickly moved closer, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly kissed his thin lips, before swiftly pulling away.
“You can go home now. I’ll message you when I get home,” Xu Jinzhi whispered.
Xie Yanchuan nodded, although his mind was still a bit dazed, the nod was simply him acting on instinct.
“Goodbye.” Xu Jinzhi gave Xie Yanchuan one last look, then walked toward the driver’s side.
Xie Yanchuan still stood there, watching Xu Jinzhi drive away, his heartbeat slightly quickened by the kiss just moments ago.
But Xie Yanchuan has always been someone who likes to keep his emotions hidden; he turned around nonchalantly and walked toward where he had parked his car.
He didn’t know that in the car that had just left, two women were fervently discussing him.
Song You exclaimed with some surprise, “So you like men who are gentle and refined!”
Over dinner, Song You had gotten to know a bit about Xie Yanchuan’s personality, the type of man who is unhurried and tender.
“No wonder I never felt that way before; I never realized any of those men who pursued you were like Xie Yanchuan,” Song You remarked.
Xu Jinzhi thought to herself that it certainly wasn’t the case.
If it weren’t because of her past life, the current “Xu Jinzhi” wouldn’t have chosen someone like Xie Yan.
However, she couldn’t explain so much to Song You, she agreed, so let it be.
“For now, it seems pretty good; if it continues to be this good, then Xie Yanchuan would indeed be a very suitable choice,” Song You didn’t know what Xu Jinzhi was really thinking, but she thought about it herself and felt that Xie Yanchuan was indeed not bad.
Thus, as her best friend, she tentatively agreed to this marriage.
After sending Song You back, Xu Jinzhi went home. When she arrived, she didn’t see Xu Zhen and casually asked the servant, learning that Xu Zhen hadn’t come back yet, Xu Jinzhi went straight upstairs.
The first thing she did when she got back to her bedroom was to message Xie Yanchuan, telling him she had returned home.

Xie Yanchuan must have also reached home, as Xu Jinzhi’s message went through and he quickly replied.
But Xie Yanchuan didn’t tell Xu Jinzhi that he had received a call from home not long ago from his father, mentioning the same issue Xu Jinzhi had talked about at noon.
After listening to Xu Jinzhi at noon, he had already gone online to check and had learned about the cause and effect of the issue.
Even though he didn’t understand business matters, he knew that such negative news had some impact on the company. At that time, he rather disapproved of his older brother’s ex-girlfriend.
Yet, discontent as Xie Yanchuan was, he did nothing.
Having recently received a call from his father, Xie Yanchuan was somewhat puzzled as to his father’s intentions, but he understood by the end of the conversation.
His father had basically suggested he explain things to Xu Jinzhi and not to let her worry about it.
Xie Suian didn’t care whether Xie Yanchuan agreed or not; after speaking, he simply hung up the phone, and Xie Yanchuan had no intention of bringing this up with Xu Jinzhi.
Because Xie Yanchuan felt that Xu Jinzhi didn’t care at all, she was even pleased to have gained an extra two points.
The two of them chatted on WeChat for a while, and then they put down their phones and rested.

The next day.
Xie Yanchuan suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of urgency in them, and even a slight cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had been awakened from a nightmare.
But after staring at the ceiling for a while, Xie Yanchuan quickly sat up, threw off the blanket, and hurried to the bathroom.
Immediately after, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.
Standing under the showerhead, water cascading down from above him, Xie Yanchuan fiercely wiped his face, which slightly calmed him.
Recalling the dream that had awakened him, Xie Yanchuan instantly turned red-faced and red-eared!
He hadn’t expected that he would be the kind of person to have such dreams!
In fact, having such a dream was a very normal physiological issue, what truly embarrassed Xie Yanchuan was that the person in the dream was Xu Jinzhi!
