【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 27 Hidden Thoughts

Since that romantic and warm trip to the garden, the emotional bond between Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan has become closer. However, they both have secret thoughts hidden in their hearts.

On a quiet night, the moonlight sprinkled like water in the cozy little house where they lived together. Lin Yanan gently leaned on the sofa, flipping through an old yellowed photo album in her hand, but her eyes drifted to Ruan Jianan who was busy working in the study from time to time. There was a hint of hesitation and expectation in her eyes, and she kept thinking about what her best friend said when she was shopping with her best friend during the day: "Yanan, you and Jianan have such a good relationship, shouldn't you consider taking it a step further?" Lin Yanan couldn't help blushing, she also wanted to have a longer-term future with Ruan Jianan, but she didn't know what Ruan Jianan was thinking.

At this time, Ruan Jianan was sitting at the desk in the study, seemingly concentrating on the documents in front of him, but in fact his thoughts had already drifted to Lin Yanan. He was thinking about the recent success of a major project in the company, and he wanted to give Lin Yanan a big surprise during the celebration and make a lifelong commitment to her. But he was worried that his preparations were not perfect enough and that he could not make Lin Yanan feel extremely happy and satisfied.

As the night deepened, Lin Yanan closed the photo album, tiptoed into the kitchen, and prepared a cup of hot milk for Ruan Jianan. When she walked into the study with the milk, Ruan Jianan happened to look up, and their eyes met. For a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. Lin Yanan put the milk on the table, turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Ruan Jianan.

Ruan Jianan stared into her eyes and wanted to say something, but the words turned into: "Thank you, dear." Lin Yanan smiled slightly, gently broke free from his hand, and said, "Go to bed early." Then she walked out of the study.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Yanan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She thought about Ruan Jianan's eyes just now, wondering what he was thinking. In the study room on the other side, Ruan Jianan drank a sip of milk, his heart was full of warmth, but when he thought of the plan that had not yet been completed, he couldn't help but frowned.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto their faces. Lin Yanan got up early to prepare breakfast, while Ruan Jianan practiced what he wanted to say to Lin Yanan in front of the mirror in the bathroom. During breakfast, the two sat opposite each other, occasionally their eyes met, then quickly looked away, the secrets in their hearts made them both feel a little uncomfortable.

After dinner, Ruan Jianan went out to work, while Lin Yanan cleaned the house. While wiping the furniture, she imagined her future life with Ruan Jianan. Ruan Jianan was busy at the company, and from time to time he would take out his phone to look at the photo of the two of them on the screen saver, grinning to himself.

In the evening, Ruan Jianan came home from get off work with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Lin Yanan took the flowers with surprise, with a happy smile on her face. However, when the two looked at each other, the words hidden in their hearts seemed to be blocked by something, and no one spoke out.

As time went by, one day, when Lin Yanan was cleaning her room, she found a small box hidden deep in a drawer by Ruan Jianan. Her heart skipped a beat. Could this be the answer she was expecting? When Ruan Jianan got home from get off work and saw Lin Yanan holding the box, he panicked. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became tense and full of expectation.
