Chapter 500 Yan Bei's confession
It's almost noon.
Zhang Dan's assistant was already waiting for her downstairs.
Zhang Dan hurried downstairs.
After getting in the car, he told his assistant to drive to the restaurant.
Soon they arrived at the restaurant where Yan Bei had agreed to meet her.
Zhang Dan got out of the car, and her assistant followed behind.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Yan Bei had not arrived yet.
Zhang Dan looked at his assistant and said, "Xiao Lin, I'm going to the bathroom. If Young Master Yan arrives later, please let me know."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang."
After saying that, Zhang Dan turned around and walked towards the restaurant's bathroom.
Zhang Dan stood in the restaurant's bathroom, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror. She had chosen this bean paste-colored lipstick specifically because it wasn't too bright but still complemented her complexion.
The woman in the mirror was wearing a pink dress that outlined her slender waistline. Her long, straight black hair fell over her shoulders, and she looked elegant and decent.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yan has arrived." Assistant Xiao Lin sent a message.
She took a deep breath and put her phone back in her bag. This was the first time Yan Bei had asked her out for dinner, and although it was to discuss cooperation, she knew this might be her last chance.
The restaurant was chosen by Yan Bei, a revolving restaurant on the top floor of the CBD. When Zhang Dan entered the private room, Yan Bei was standing by the French window, talking on the phone. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, gilding his tall figure. He was wearing a dark blue handmade suit today, which accentuated his shoulders.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Zhang Dan said softly.
Yan Bei turned around and his eyes stayed on her for a second: "Ms. Zhang looks very beautiful today."
Zhang Dan's heart skipped a beat at the compliment. She pretended to be calm and sat down. "Mr. Yan, thank you for the compliment."
The waiter began serving the dishes, and the two of them ate while discussing the details of their partnership. Yan Bei's conditions were still demanding, but Zhang Dan addressed them with her professionalism. She could sense a hint of appreciation in Yan Bei's eyes as he looked at her.
"Mr. Zhang's proposal is very innovative," Yan Bei put down his red wine glass, "but I need to see more detailed financial data."
"I've prepared the data," Zhang Dan said, pulling out the documents from her bag.
Yan Bei reviewed the document and nodded, "Not bad this time."
Zhang Dan twitched the corner of her mouth, then looked at Yan Bei with a gentle look, "Young Master Yan, actually, I have something else I want to tell you."
"What's the matter, Mr. Zhang?" Yan Bei raised his eyes and asked.
After a moment, Zhang Dan slowly raised her head and looked directly at Yan Bei. Besides her usual calm confidence, her eyes were now filled with a hint of shyness and determination. "Boss Yan, to me, today's meal isn't just about discussing cooperation." Yan Bei was slightly startled, put down his glass, and looked at her with some confusion.
Yan Bei's eyes became deep: "Mr. Zhang..."
"Please let me finish," she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak. "Yan Bei, I've been deeply attracted to you since the first time I met you at the industry conference. Over the past few years, I've been following your every move in the business world. Your wisdom and courage have always moved my heart. I know this is abrupt and inappropriate to say this in this setting, but I don't want to suppress my feelings any longer."
Yan Bei was momentarily bewildered. He hadn't expected Zhang Dan to suddenly confess her feelings in such a situation. He looked at Zhang Dan's flushed cheeks, sensing the sincerity in her words. After a brief silence, Yan Bei smiled gently. "Zhang Dan, I appreciate your appreciation for me. However, I didn't expect to hear such words. Our cooperation has just begun, and I hope we can focus on our work first. Of course, I accept your kindness."
A flicker of disappointment flashed across Zhang Dan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She raised her glass and said, "Mr. Yan is right. I was a little impulsive. Let's focus on our collaboration. I hope our partnership will yield extraordinary results." Yan Bei also raised his glass and gently clinked it with hers. The two exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere gradually returned to a harmonious state.
After drinking.
Zhang Dan curled the corners of his mouth.
She won't give up. This is the first time in so many years that she has truly fallen in love with someone.
Then he looked at Yan Bei and slowly said,
There was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. "I know you don't have that kind of feeling for me right now," Zhang Dan said softly, yet her voice was filled with unquestionable determination. "But that doesn't affect my love for you."
Yan Bei looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise. He originally thought that a rejection would make her give up, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.
"I also know you've been in a relationship before. You don't have to feel burdened," Zhang Dan's eyes were full of sincerity. "I just want you to know that my feelings won't disappear just because you reject me."
Yan Bei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Dan. "Don't talk yet, just listen to me." Zhang Dan's eyes gleamed with a glint of persistence and yearning for love. "I know the road ahead may be difficult, and you may still reject me. But I don't care. Every time I'm with you, every time I see your smile, it's a blessing for me."
"So, I secretly swore in my heart that I must win your heart. I will work hard to make myself better and more worthy of your love. I won't put pressure on you, but I just hope you can give me a chance to slowly walk into your heart." Zhang Dan said these words in one breath, as if a big stone in her heart had been put down.
Yan Bei looked at this brave woman before him, and a ripple of emotion welled up in his heart. He had never met someone so persistent and calm. She didn't cry or feel resentful in the face of rejection, but instead, she remained resolute in her determination to be together. At this moment, Yan Bei had a new understanding of Zhang Dan.
I just remembered that he had mentioned a relationship before, but it seems that he has not completely gotten over it.
Zhang Dan smiled, a hint of playfulness in her smile. "Alright, I've said enough. You don't have to respond right now. I'll prove my feelings with my actions." With that, she turned and slowly walked away, leaving Yan Bei standing there, lost in thought as he gazed at her back. In Zhang Dan's heart, this was just the beginning of her pursuit of love. She firmly believed that one day, Yan Bei would be moved by her and truly accept her love.
……
After a meal.
Zhang Dan and Yan Bei left the restaurant.
They all had assistants to pick them up, so after saying hello, they each got into their own car.
After Yan Bei got in the car, he was still thinking about what Zhang Dan had said to him at the dinner table.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet. Yan Bei sat in the back seat, frowning slightly, his mind still recalling the scene at the dinner table. Yang Jian drove the car intently, driving steadily on the road.
"Young Master Yan, are you worried about something?"
Yang Jian looked at Yan Bei in the rearview mirror.
Yan Bei coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Just now when we were eating, Zhang Dan confessed to me."
Yang Jian was slightly startled, his hands on the steering wheel shaking slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He quickly glanced at Yan Bei in the rearview mirror and said, "Boss Zhang? Is she the female boss of Danrui Company?"
Yan Bei nodded without much expression on his face: "Yes, it's her." He rubbed his temples, as if he had a headache about this matter.
"This... is quite sudden. Why did Mr. Zhang confess his feelings so suddenly?" Yang Jian asked curiously, while secretly wondering in his heart whether this would have any impact on the company's business.
