Chapter 21 — Loving the Beauty More

　　After saying their piece and effectively leaving the reporters flabbergasted, Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran withdrew from the conference room.

　　Following their departure, the reporters snapped to attention and sent their minds into overdrive, coming up with all kinds of headlines to help introduce everything they'd just learned. It went without saying who the main leads would be this time.

　　The two in question, however, was perfectly unconcerned about what the reporters were cooking up—or, rather, it would be more accurate to say that Su Yanyi alone had her concerns focused elsewhere.

　　"Why aren't you happy?" She suddenly asked. The pair had left together and was walking with no specific destination in mind. Qin Jiran really didn't know what to think anymore, but he reacted quickly nonetheless. Recently Su Yanyi had been acting so weird, he was almost used to it.

　　"That's not it." If anything, he was feeling a bit fed up—not with Su Yanyi, but with how persistent the media was. Unfortunately, he was a public figure, so it was inevitable.

　　"Then are you happy?" Su Yanyi tried asking in a different way, seemingly intent on prying a certain answer from him.

　　"… I, should I be?" Qin Jiran asked confusedly as unease crept onto his face.

　　Su Yanyi blinked, looking at him with something that resembled a glare. Then, she took a sudden step towards him and asked, "You're asking me if you're happy or not?"

　　The two were standing so close that Qin Jiran could smell the unique and refres.h.i.+ng scent wafting from her body. It swept him up in a dilemma; he wanted to get closer, but he also wanted to step back.

　　"Yanyi, what's wrong?"

　　"You should smile when you're happy. Expressionlessness is a type of illness!"

　　Faced with such a dull reaction from Qin Jiran, Su Yanyi became visibly ruffled. She'd already exerted so much effort to hold a press conference and was also so forthright when she disclosed their relations.h.i.+p to the public, but why was he still not smiling?

　　Instead, his expression contained some indifference, as if there wasn't anything worth being happy about!

　　The more she thought about it, the more annoyed and disappointed she became. At this moment, her apathetic eyes were becoming unusually fierce. They lit up with a breathtaking radiance.

　　Qin Jiran, who had just been called "ill," didn't notice the insult; he was too busy being held spellbound by her eyes. He couldn't free himself from them, even if he wanted to.

　　Yanyi is really beautiful, more so her disposition than her looks. Devastatingly beautiful, overwhelmingly beautiful, matchless, and one-of-a-kind. Just a single glance is enough for her to take over my mind.
