Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

Capítulo 1463: Chapter 526: Please, Give Me a Chance! (4)

…

The restaurant Shen Yuyan reserved is in the north area of the Bund Financial Center, very close to Huaqiao City.

It only took about ten minutes to reach the destination.

This is a Michelin two-star restaurant, with an average cost of over 2000 yuan per person, specializing in Italian seafood dishes, exquisite and luxurious.

The two sat by the window, looking down at the dazzling night view of the Bund through the floor-to-ceiling glass after the rain.

The Huangpu River shimmered under the lights, contrasting with the distant buildings of all nations, very romantic.

“This is the crawfish and caviar tart, with a rich blend of flavors, dense and delicate. Try it, this is my special recommendation, the chef allegedly spent a year developing it.”

“Three different preparations of foie gras, gold citrus foie gras jelly, and cherry foie gras…”

Shen Yuyan explained while elegantly using a fork to place a small piece on Tang Song’s plate, in perfect motion.

Once all the dishes were served, she picked up the champagne bottle, and with a subtle twist of the wrist, skillfully poured each of them a glass.

The crystal-clear liquid bubbled delicately in the glass.

Shen Yuyan smiled brightly, “Let’s toast to our reunion in Shanghai.”

Her tone was light and natural, as if it were just a simple gathering of friends.

Bullet screen: [No matter what is said, I cannot reveal my anxiety and longing too eagerly. I only have one chance, I must seize it.]

“Clink~” The two gently clinked their glasses.

Shen Yuyan then started the conversation, from “college life” to “artificial intelligence,” extending to “finance.”

Unlike Xue, she is clearly an emotionally stable person, occasionally triggering “whispers”:

[Why didn’t I notice his uniqueness during college? Obviously, he was Lu Ziming’s roommate and I had seen him several times.]

[Maybe I was too self-serving back then, always thinking those insignificant people weren’t worth attention, it’s such a pity!]

[How should I respond? When he talked about ‘founder traits’, was he complimenting or reminding me? Don’t show fear, Shen Yuyan!]

[Did I sound too opportunistic in what I said earlier? It sounded like I was selling myself!]

[The urgent matter is to increase my leverage in his heart!]

…

Tang Song quietly played the role of [Observer].

He could sense Shen Yuyan’s urgency and suppression, and pick up on her anxiety and nervousness.

But he never dominated the conversation, nor did he ask her what she had been through, instead observing her from a bystander’s perspective.

Gaining a deeper understanding of this former university school beauty.

No wonder Qingqing labeled her as “Scheming Yuyan”, this school beauty has so many little thoughts, she’s the complete opposite of Fool Qing.

9 PM.

The two walked out of the restaurant.

The night was as dark as ink, city neon lights flickered in the distance, casting a hazy shadow.

After getting into the pre-arranged car, they returned to Su River Bay Huaqiao City.

Shen Yuyan alighted from the car too, standing outside the community gate, the atmosphere seemed somewhat subtle.

Tang Song turned and asked, “By the way, where do you live?”

Shen Yuyan pointed northeast with a raised hand, “Just a few hundred meters away at Quanji Hotel. Tang Song, we just finished eating, why don’t you walk to digest and send me off?”

“Sure, let’s go.” Tang Song nodding with a smile, then following beside Shen Yuyan, stepping on the damp sidewalk.

After a recent autumn rain, the air was filled with moisture, and the evening breeze was blowing.

Shen Yuyan seemed quite cold, suddenly shivering and then stomping her feet.

Tang Song glanced at her, thoughtfully took off his jacket, and lightly draped it over her shoulders, “Feeling cold, aren’t you? I told you, you wore too little.”

Feeling the warmth and faint male scent from the clothes, Shen Yuyan’s cheeks slightly reddened, she whispered, “Thank you.”

At this moment, all emotions were from the heart.

In her most vulnerable, most painful time, having someone accompany her for a chat and dinner indeed eased her heart a lot.

She never denies her fondness for Tang Song, regardless of how many external factors are involved, the fondness is genuine.

Refusing Wang Yubo, even unwilling to give him the courtesy, was also because of Tang Song.

“You’re welcome, today you came to pick me up, and treated me to dinner, I should be thanking you.”

Shen Yuyan slightly raised her head, looking at Tang Song’s handsome profile under the light, suddenly making a move: “I’m really happy to be able to treat the Attractive Man to dinner.”

Tang Song slightly raised his eyebrows, “The school beauty sure has a sweet mouth.”

Shen Yuyan tilted her head, pouting her rosy lips, “You haven’t tasted it, how do you know if it’s sweet?”

She seemed a little drunk, her speech ambiguous, like a joke and yet serious.

Upon hearing this, Tang Song suddenly stopped, his gaze locking onto her eyes.

“Thump thump thump—”

Shen Yuyan’s throat moved, as if she could hear her own heartbeat, subconsciously holding her breath, meeting his gaze.

[Tang Song! Come here!]

[Kiss me! Quickly kiss me! Should I be more proactive? But wouldn’t that be too bold?]

The two silently stared at each other for a full five seconds.

Just as Shen Yuyan was almost unable to suppress herself, Tang Song suddenly shifted his gaze, speaking in a calm tone, “You can tell just by looking.”

Shen Yuyan froze, an indescribable pain instantly surged through her heart.

She was rejected.

[Am I not good enough? Or in his eyes, am I insignificant?]

[Ha, Youjie Housekeeping has already failed, I’m a failure, what right do I have to make him take the initiative?]

[No, I can’t think like this… Shen Yuyan, you must calm down.]

The sound of footsteps resurfaced in the night, the Quanji Hotel building was getting closer.

Shen Yuyan suddenly stopped, looking down at her white shoes.

Overhead the bullet screen flies:

[Why is it that Lin Muxue can eat, Wen Ruan can eat, Jing can eat, but I, Shen Yuyan, cannot eat?]

…

[Fool Qing, forgive me.]

[Shen Yuyan, you’re truly a vile person, thinking of betraying a friend while also finding excuses for yourself!]

[Ha, I was selfish from the start!]

[But what can I do? I have no way out, time left for me is running out.]

[He rejected me once already, losing this opportunity, he’ll only drift further away.]

…

Tears blurred her eyes.

Shen Yuyan’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Tang Song pursed his lips, “What’s wrong, Yuyan?”

“I… maybe drank too much champagne, and some things… remembering them makes me very sad.”

“What is it, you can tell me about it.” Tang Song reached out, patting her shoulder, looking at this School Beauty Shen with complex emotions.

She is far more complicated than she appears.

Pride and vulnerability coexist, ambition and self-esteem entwined, these traits make her charming yet dangerous.

And this sense of contradiction seems to be precisely her most alluring aspect.

Shen Yuyan took a deep breath, tearfully looking at him, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to apologize to you.”

“During the angel round of Youjie Housekeeping, I initially promised Qingqing to let you talk more deeply, but I… but I didn’t take it to heart and even didn’t seriously understand your situation, eventually making the wrong decision.”

“Now I face the consequences, Youjie Housekeeping is in a deadlock, our startup team’s over two years of effort ruined. To be honest, I regret it so much, really regret it.”

“I know you surely have some opinions about me, I was wrong, I was too proud, too shortsighted, I hope you can forgive my ignorance back then.”

The bullet screen starts to turn red:

[I am unwilling, really unwilling!]

[Please, give me a chance! I don’t want to lose, I cannot lose!]

Shen Yuyan took a half step forward, gently embraced him, “Tang Song, you see… do I still have a chance?”
