My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 283:

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Sweet Times_1

After returning to Xishan Residence, I changed my clothes…

Previously, I would go out to eat with a group of people including Wenya, but tonight, it was just Ding Yinuo and me.

So, I dressed up intentionally.

I’ve been too busy recently to take care of myself.

After the bath, I pinned up my hair into a small chignon with loose curls, then picked out a long dress from the wardrobe. My preference has always remained the same; I prefer the elegant simplicity of this quiet dress, matching with a grey overcoat.

I chose a casual plum-colored bag, and paired it with black sheepskin boots.

In front of the mirror, I only applied a bit of foundation and some plum-colored lipstick.

Fresh, elegant, staring at the face in the mirror, I was reminded of my past self.

Back when I was still in university, I was always this simple.

Indeed, by the time I walked out of the bedroom…

Ding Yinuo, who was previously on the phone, stopped his call when he looked up and saw me.

He stared at me for a full three minutes.

Only then did he hurriedly hang up, and walked up to me.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Although excited, he held my shoulders, looking at me with joy, yet unable to utter a single word.

I looked up at him with a smile,

“What’s wrong?”

“Ayun!”

“Yes?”

“The way you are dressed today, you look a lot like you did during school. You look great!”

It took him a while to muster these words.

I smiled at him,

“Aren’t we going out for dinner anymore?”

“Of course, we are. I made the reservations.”

“Then why are you still standing here?”

“I was just taken aback a bit. Let’s get going!”

Ding Yinuo picked up his coat and car keys and we finally left the house. All this while, his gaze remained on me, as if afraid that I would disappear if he looked away for a moment.

I poked him on the forehead, reminding him to focus on driving.

Once we hit the road, he became much more focused.

Our conversation gradually veered off to our high school days.

“Ah, that public bath… how problematic it was with the frequent furnace breakdown…”

“Yes, but I remember the library being quite nice. Each time I went there late, I was lucky enough to get a seat by the window.”

Sometimes, reminiscing about the past felt pretty warm.

Student days are the best times of our lives.

Ding Yinuo laughingly said,

“Have you ever thought perhaps someone may have secretly saved that seat for you, timing their departure just as you arrived?”

I agreed that it was a possibility. After all, with college entrance exams looming, everyone needed a place to study, which made library seats significant.

No way would all other seats be occupied while an ideally located window seat would remain vacant.

What seemed like regular occurrences back then now seem like silent contributions from someone behind the scenes.

I turned to Ding Yinuo,

“Was it you who saved the seat for me?”

Ding Yinuo glanced at me,

“Who else could it be?”

“Hey… I didn’t see that coming! You were there, and I didn’t notice you in the crowd.”

“How could you have seen me if I had chosen to hide?”

“Ding Yinuo, you’re such a fool! You should have said something!”

“If I weren’t a little foolish, how could I have met you at the best time?”

I was slightly perplexed,

“But, this isn’t the brightest stage in my life. My past life was my prime, unfortunately…”

I sighed.

Now isn’t what I want it to be.

Life should be about meeting the right person at the best age and then staying together for a lifetime.

But I made a mistake, I met Gu Yuanzhou.

He ruined my life.

Thinking about this, my spirits sunk.

Ding Yinuo reached over, gently smoothing my shoulders.

“Ayun, if we’re together, that’s the brightest stage in our life. It’s never too late…”

“Yeah!”

Ding Yinuo is emotionally intelligent, he always knows the right words to say.

Half an hour later…

The car stopped in front of an upscale Western restaurant.

The night was as tranquil as ever, silently descending.

The restaurant had a highly romantic atmosphere with candlelight and roses on small tables, and a pianist playing live.

“What do you feel like eating?”

Ding Yinuo passed the menu to me.

“Hmm, let’s have the T-bone steak! Medium well… and I don’t want the bread grilled!”

I placed my order.

Ding Yinuo told the waiter,

“I’ll have the same, make it two!”

The ambiance of the restaurant was quite nice, attracting new customers every now and then.

Just as my steak had arrived and I was about to take the first bite, I heard a familiar voice.

A woman’s voice, a sweet, pampered tone, overly tender.

Looking up at the sound, I saw a man and a woman walk in. Strangely, they seated themselves diagonally opposite to us.

It was none other than Gu Yuanzhou and Ye Mengyan.

Ye Mengyan was wearing a powder pink, one-shoulder long dress and had her hair curled into large waves, with a blue seawater pearl on her neck.

Gu Yuanzhou was in a high-end black suit, the two appearing rather couple-like.

From my understanding, if Gu Yuanzhou knew that Ye Mengyan was pregnant, he would definitely plan a wedding.

Passing her the title of Mrs. Gu.

Giving her a name!

Now that the Song family was ruined, Gu Yuanzhou had nothing to fear.

Perhaps because of the angle, Gu Yuanzhou hadn’t noticed my presence yet.

He ordered some food.

Once the steak was served, Ye Mengyan affectionately cut it into small pieces for Gu Yuanzhou, pushing it in front of him, even pouring the red wine considerately.

Gu Yuanzhou was busy on a call.

Ye Mengyan continued to shower him with attention, from spreading out his napkins to arranging his silverware.

She seemed more than happy to provide him with all sorts of assistance.

Whenever she looked at Gu Yuanzhou, her eyes were full of tenderness.

“Gu, I entered the work contest for the fashion week in Hong Kong next Saturday. I am determined to be the champion.”

“Hmm!”

“Gu, that woman from the Song family had imprisoned me for so long… Shall we go report it to the police?”

“No!”

“Gu, why are you still afraid of her? The Song family is already ruined, and she’s got no backing. Can’t we take this opportunity to have her arrested?”

Ye Mengyan was evidently a little excited.

She’s not up to much, just provoking Gu Yuanzhou to do me harm.

It seems that imprisoning her wasn’t a mistake after all.

At this point, Ding Yinuo too, saw Ye Mengyan on the opposite side. He was about to stand up when I promptly gestured for him to stay put. Deciphering my gesture, he sat back down.

I picked up my phone and sent a message to him,

“Let’s not disturb them. I don’t want to invite trouble.”
