Chapter Forty-Four: Daring to Show Love

  The news of Quwen's rapid promotion from pawnshop apprentice to appraiser consultant spread quickly within the company, leaving three members of the pawnshop department, including Fan Yongcheng, in a state of shock. Indeed, having someone backing you makes all the difference, but it also depends on Quwen's own abilities; otherwise, even if he were replaced by a spoiled rich kid who only knew how to indulge in food, drink and pleasure, he would ultimately end up like Zhuge Liang with Liu Shan - having the heart but not the ability, forever unable to lift himself up.

  Among the crowd, apart from admiration, there was also jealousy. Just like Lu Shaojie, who refused to believe that Qu Wen's rise was due to his own abilities, and was convinced that it was entirely because of Su Yaxin's relationship that he had won Gu Quan's favor, becoming a phoenix man with unlimited wealth. If Qu Wen hadn't appeared, the one who should be enjoying a bright future now would be Lu Shaojie.

  Upon hearing the news, Qin Wei Na was also not pleased, thinking that Qu Wen had failed to grasp the opportunity when he first entered the company and had been completely captivated by her own charm. However, she did not know that Qu Wen had never looked up to someone as overly materialistic and pragmatic as her from the very beginning.

  Su Yaxin, on the other hand, was overjoyed for Qu Wen from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time, she had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. This is a common problem among all girls who have entered the passionate love period. Every time they see their favorite person achieve something, they feel especially happy.

  Generally speaking, afternoons are better than mornings. From 2:30 to 5:30, three hours pass in the blink of an eye.

  Qu Wen had been waiting outside the office building for a long time, looking forward to seeing that beautiful figure. This was his first date, the first formal date with someone of the opposite sex, especially since she was a beautiful and kind wife-and-mother type, who met all his ideal requirements in both appearance and inner qualities. His heart was filled with excitement, nothing but excitement.

  Su Yaxin arrived beside Qu Wen amidst Qin Weina's teasing, wearing a loose-fitting long-sleeved T-shirt and ordinary jeans. However, no matter how loose the clothes were, they couldn't hide her slender figure, and even the most ordinary jeans could accentuate the curves of her hips and legs.

  Looking at the beauty in front of him, Qu Wen felt a beastly desire for the first time, no longer calm as usual. The hot blood in his body churned and boiled, and for the first time, he understood the meaning of "beauty can be devoured".

  "Let's go..." Su Ya Xin slightly lowered her head, unable to meet Qu Wen's fervent gaze.

  Qu Wen smiled and laughed, looking silly, completely opposite to her overbearing demeanor from this morning. She habitually scratched her head: "Alright."

  Longcheng is just a small town in the south, far less majestic than B City, S City's grandeur, and Hong Kong's prosperity, but as an ancient southern city with a long history, it also has its unique regional charm and soulful human stories.

  The clever choice of Quwen was to dine at the famous revolving restaurant in the city, which is located on the 32nd floor of a high-rise building and rotates automatically every two hours. While dining inside, you can enjoy delicious food while taking in the panoramic view of Longcheng. At the right moment, confessing to your lover will have a success rate of at least 70-80%, making it one of the most popular places for people in Longcheng to express their love intentions.

  The atmosphere remained dull for more than ten minutes, chatting about topics that had no practical significance. As dish after dish of delicious food was served, the conversation between the two began to liven up. They started by commenting on the food, then moved on to the stunning street views outside the window, and finally talked about the local history and cultural legends of Longcheng. Of course, these legendary stories were all told from Qu Wen's perspective as a native of the place, leaving the listener amazed and surprised that such a small city could have such a rich historical background.

  Once both men and women have a good impression of each other and find topics of mutual interest, the spark can spread quickly.

  "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to consultant yet." Su Yaxin wasn't good at drinking, and her glass was filled with a drink. She raised her glass to toast Qu Wen: "Congratulations on your promotion!"

  "Also congratulations on your new department career going smoothly." After signing the new contract, I immediately learned that Chen Qifu transferred Su Yaxin to the pawnshop department, replacing my position. As for Su Yaxin's appraisal ability, Qu Wen absolutely recognizes it, having grown up under Gu Quan's guidance since childhood, and is far better than myself by who knows how much.

  The wine glasses clinked together, making a pleasant sound, and everyone was drunk without drinking too much.

  As she watched Qu Wen drink the wine in his cup with a heroic air, Su Yaxin couldn't help but be enchanted. She knew that she had already fallen for this man who was easy-going and unrestrained yet still had a domineering aura.

  At first, it was when she needed someone's help that Qu Wen appeared like a hero. Then came the second and third times. Even today, being pestered by Lu Shaojie, just thinking of Qu Wen's name in her mind, he actually appeared in front of her again like a miracle. It felt like everything was like a fairy tale prince, always appearing when the princess needed him most.

  Of course, even if Qu Wen's intuition was sharp, he couldn't guess Su Yaxin's thoughts, only knowing that he was drinking wine and Su Yaxin was drinking a beverage. However, her face had turned bright red, and the flush spread from her cheeks to her neck and ears, making her look shy and lovely.

  "Yaxin..." fell silent for a moment, Qu Wen said in an extremely low voice, as if there was something difficult to say.

  "Huh?"

  "You... you..., can be my girlfriend!"

  A romantic atmosphere can easily give rise to intense affection. Although he has never been in love, Qu Wen is not the type of person who likes to beat around the bush. If he encounters a girl he likes, if he doesn't seize the opportunity and boldly express his thoughts, once he misses it, no medicine can make up for it.

  After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke out boldly, his loud voice attracting the attention of the surrounding tables.

  Su Ya Xin was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, especially during peak dining hours when Qu Wen Hao's voice could almost be heard by everyone.

  "Can you...not be so loud?"

  Qu Wen couldn't care less about so many things, and suddenly grasped Su Ya Xin's hand tightly. This matter had to be done in one bold move; if there was even a slight hesitation, it would be hard to say anything after the excitement passed.

  "Then you promise me first!" Qu Wen's manner and movement were similar to those of a rogue.

  Although they didn't have many chances to get together, Su Yaxin's understanding of Qu Wen was not bad, at least 80%. Many people often find that even their neighbors who they see frequently are not as close as someone they've met a few times before. Moreover, Su Yaxin would often hear news about Qu Wen from her grandfather and colleagues, friends, which helped her understand his character from different perspectives.

  She had secretly harbored feelings for him, but hadn't expected him to show affection in front of everyone. Su Yaheng felt three parts embarrassed and seven parts delighted. Without making a sound, with the reserve and shyness of a girl, she glanced at Qu Wen's gaze, which revealed tender emotions, and nodded slightly in agreement.

  "You really agreed......" Qu Wen excitedly shouted again and asked another sentence, seeing Su Yaxin nodding again, letting his anxious heart drop from a high platform, as if he had just finished a big battle, taking a long breath.
