Under Gu Lingfeng's painstaking wait, it was finally time for the afternoon shift to end.

Gu Lingfeng headed out of the office at the right time to pick up Qin Ran, but he found that Qin Ran hadn't come out at all. Looking through the frosted glass window at Qin Ran who was still busy inside, Gu Lingfeng instantly understood what she was thinking.

As usual, he got off work. Out of the corner of his eyes, Qin Ran saw Gu Lingfeng heading downstairs and let out a sigh of relief. He thought that he still had a few papers left in his hands before he could get off work.

Half an hour later, Qin Ran saw that he was the only one left in the office. He didn't intend to stay here and pretend to be diligent. He packed his stuff and prepared to go home.

Gu Lingfeng was sitting in the car outside the company's entrance. His gaze was fixated on the people entering and exiting the company. There were dozens of people coming and going every minute, but Gu Lingfeng did not miss a single one of them.

Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared at the company's entrance. Gu Lingfeng's eyes lit up, he knew that even if Qin Ran wanted to avoid him, he wouldn't stay in the company for too long. Gu Lingfeng didn't want to attract too much attention, he just pulled over to the side of the road and rolled down half the window.

Qin Ran could recognize his car at a glance. The moment he saw Gu Lingfeng's car, he knew that he had come here specifically to wait for her. Qin Ran pursed his lips, pretending that he hadn't noticed anything as he walked forward.

"Didn't you say that I would bring you somewhere after work? Why did you leave yourself? " Gu Lingfeng drove the car to Qin Ran's side, opened the car door and got off, stopping Qin Ran.

"I'm not going. I'm too tired from work today." Qin Ran stepped back without leaving any trace as he said lightly.

"You've already promised me, Ran Ran, you can't go back on your word!" Gu Lingfeng didn't say anything further and directly pulled Qin Ran towards his car, "Stop it, we're not allowed to stop here, quickly come with me."

"Gu Lingfeng!" I think my expressive skills are still good enough, and your ears aren't deaf. I've already said that I'm too tired to work today and don't want to go. " Qin Ran threw Gu Lingfeng's hand away and said with a frown and displeasure.

Seeing how Qin Ran refused to cooperate, Gu Lingfeng also felt a little helpless. However, Qin Ran had to go to that place today. Since they were on the main road, Gu Lingfeng didn't want to carry Qin Ran away immediately.

With a smile, he said, "Ran, this is a public place, and I don't want to do anything too extreme to you. You know my temper, if you don't accompany me to dinner, then I can only follow you in front of so many people …" Gu Lingfeng purposely said half of his sentence, in order to force Qin Ran to follow him.

"Not going." Qin Ran didn't like Gu Lingfeng's half-threatening attitude. She didn't want to argue with him anymore, so after saying those words, she turned around and left.

Gu Lingfeng, who was standing behind him, did not say anything further. Since it was impossible to use a soft method, he had no choice but to use a hard one. Gu Lingfeng used his arms to hug Qin Ran. Unlike his usual gentle hug, Gu Lingfeng used more than enough strength to make Qin Ran's resistance ineffective. Next, he forcefully 'sent' Qin Ran into the car.

As the sheep entered the mouth of the tiger, even if Qin Ran was unwilling, there was nothing he could do about it. As the car sped through the road, just like Gu Lingfeng's mood, the color of Qin Ran inside the car wasn't very beautiful, so Gu Lingfeng didn't mind at all. He used his right hand to pat Qin Ran, smiling very nicely: "Trust me, you'll like him."

Since he had already been dragged over, Qin Ran decided to give Gu Lingfeng some face and not cause any more trouble. However, she didn't seem particularly happy. It was just a meal, so she wasn't afraid.

The car quickly arrived at the restaurant that Gu Lingfeng had reserved beforehand. After handing his car over to the doorman, Gu Lingfeng pulled Qin Ran up to the sixth floor. Qin Ran was at a loss as he followed him. When the elevator door opened, Qin Ran was still shocked by what he saw.

This floor seemed to be a banquet hall, but now all of it was reserved by Gu Lingfeng. Besides the waiter, only the two of them were left.

The walls were decorated with colorful ribbons and balloons, just like a fairy tale. At the center of the dining table, there was a large bunch of bright red roses, as well as neatly arranged candlesticks. It was clear that this entire floor had been meticulously arranged by Gu Lingfeng's men.

Seeing Qin Ran in a daze, Gu Lingfeng knew that she would like the things he had prepared for her. However, this was only the beginning. The good show was yet to come. Gu Lingfeng held Qin Ran's hand and walked to the dining table. He elegantly pulled out a chair for Qin Ran and sat down.

Gu Lingfeng snapped his fingers, and several attendants stepped forward and brought the steak they had prepared beforehand. A man in a white dress walked over and began playing a soothing violin for the two of them, as a accompaniment to the meal. All of this brought out the romantic atmosphere.

As a girl, Qin Ran naturally enjoyed such a special treat. But at the same time, he felt that it was a bit strange, it was just an ordinary dinner. Could it be that Gu Lingfeng wanted to make use of this opportunity to confess, so he made it so luxurious?

"I ordered the dishes according to your favorite taste. Come and try it quickly." Gu Lingfeng said gently.

After hearing his reminder, Qin Ran realized that his stomach was growling too. It was prepared for her anyway, so she didn't eat it for free. With that in mind, Qin Ran picked up his knife and fork and started to enjoy the dinner.

If it was a normal day, Gu Lingfeng would introduce things to her or find a topic to chat with her. However, today, Gu Lingfeng was exceptionally quiet. The romantic dinner continued peacefully just like this.

Just when the two of them were almost done eating, all the candles in the hall, including the table, were extinguished. Even the emergency lights were not turned on. In less than ten seconds, the entire building was pitch black.

This feeling of helplessness caused Qin Ran to feel as if she had returned to the time when she was kidnapped. In that instant, her heart was filled with fear. Qin Ran subconsciously pushed her chair away and stood up, wanting to escape from this suffocating space.

Due to the darkness, Qin Ran could not determine the direction. She randomly picked a direction to leave, but Gu Lingfeng held her hand in the darkness.

At this moment, the ceiling above them suddenly began emitting a faint glow. Qin Ran subconsciously looked up, and saw the projector shining a dark blue sky full of stars above the two of them. The main door of the banquet hall opened and a waiter slowly walked towards her while pushing a three-storey birthday cake.

The music in the hall started to play Happy Birthday songs at the right time. The waiters who came in with the cake also clapped their hands while singing along with the music, adding to the atmosphere of the scene with their blessings.

Qin Ran was stunned. The two transformations had caused her to not know what had happened. She only felt a chill on her neck and touched a warm hand.
