Rong Shaoze narrowed his eyes with a smile, "You've even bribed my secretary."
"I just told her not to tell you for the time being, that's not bribing." Lin Xinlan smiled, her playfulness tinged with slyness.
The room wasn't lit, save for the three candles placed on the table.
In the candlelight, her smile was beautiful, surrounded by a soft halo that set Rong Shaoze's heart aflutter.
"Xinlan…" he looked at her tenderly and affectionately, "are you planning to have a candlelit dinner with me today?"
"Yes, do you like it?" Lin Xinlan asked with a smile.
Rong Shaoze nodded eagerly: "Of course I like it! But why did you want to have a candlelit dinner with me?"
He stared at her intently, waiting for her answer.
Lin Xinlan lifted her wine glass, smiling faintly, "No reason, I just felt like it, so I did."
"I don't believe that. There must be a reason. For instance, if you really wanted to have a candlelit dinner with me, I would accept that reason."
