Chapter 700: 700, don’t give up, just want her
Si Jianan, unwilling to give up, found the time to visit Song Qinghuan despite his busy schedule, after meeting her that day, and took her out for dinner.
When Song Qinghuan received Si Jianan’s invitation to dinner, she initially declined.
But when Si Jianan said he was waiting outside, Song Qinghuan looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw him across the street, talking on his phone.
Song Qinghuan had a feeling that Si Jianan wanted to ask about what had happened the other day. After all, they had only talked about why she hadn’t called. Today, he probably wanted to have a more direct conversation.
Some things needed to be clarified, to avoid leading someone on.
She agreed to meet him, a bright smile coming onto her face. After greeting Si Jianan, she got into his car.
The car was very quiet, with Si Jianan solely focusing on driving.
Meanwhile, Song Qinghuan leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes to rest.
After driving for a while, Si Jianan glanced at Song Qinghuan and then turned his attention back to the road, softly asking, “Qinghuan, what would you like to eat?”
Song Qinghuan opened her eyes and turned towards him, smiling as she said, “Anything is fine, it’s up to you.”
Si Jianan also turned towards her, returning her smile before focusing back on the road, “Alright, then I’ll choose a place at random.”
Although he said he would choose at random, Si Jianan actually took her to a very famous French restaurant, a place he had carefully selected.
The restaurant was at a high price point, favored by wealthy people and celebrities alike.
The person sitting behind Song Qinghuan was a popular singer.
Luckily, Song Qinghuan didn’t chase after stars. Having spent some time in the drama industry, to her, celebrities were just ordinary people.
If she were the type to chase after stars and gossip, she’d probably be screaming right now, asking for autographs, risking getting kicked out of the restaurant.
The restaurant was very quiet, with everyone dining gracefully in silence. Even if they did converse, their voices were kept very low.
Therefore, Si Jianan and Song Qinghuan didn’t speak much during their meal.
On the way back, Si Jianan asked Song Qinghuan, “Qinghuan, what sort of recreational activities do you usually do?”
Song Qinghuan thought for a moment before responding: “I’m quite the homebody, I don’t have any special hobbies. I used to just surf the internet, listen to music, and occasionally go shopping when I was at home. I’d also watch movies when I was in the mood, but since getting pregnant I mostly just eat, sleep and do light exercises.”
She answered casually, but Si Jianan listened attentively.
When Si Jianan dropped her off, he looked into Song Qinghuan’s eyes and asked earnestly, “Qinghuan, would you like to watch a movie with me tomorrow?”
Startled, Song Qinghuan immediately replied with regret, “I’m sorry, I may not have time tomorrow.”
Disappointment spread across Si Jianan’s face. He responded softly, “I will wait for you until you have the time.”
Song Qinghuan bit her lip and looked down.
After some thought, she looked up at Si Jianan and softly said, “Si Xiangbei, I’m sorry. I can’t agree to what you asked earlier.”
Si Jianan didn’t seem particularly disturbed, but his face did show a trace of disappointment.
He gazed at Song Qinghuan and asked gently, “Are you worried about the child? I can assure you, I will treat it as my own.”
