Chapter 621 - Too much of a coincidence?

Lin Ye's  heart raced. It had already reached this point. Should he bluff his way out or should he just confess? 

He weighed the options in his mind. 

At this point, he already knew what she thought. Which went to say that even if she couldn't possibly like him yet, she might consider giving him a chance. 

But then again, he only knew that she thought of him as a friend. If he told her that he was in love with her, how would she react? 

After going through a mental battle for a while, he concluded that there was only one way to find out. 

"Xuanxuan," 

At this moment, a stifled cry filled the air. 

Lin Ye was interrupted by the little boy in Yun Xuan's arms. As expected, Yun Xuan's attention was disrupted and she could be heard coaxing her baby. "Baby, what's wrong?" 

The little boy grabbed a handful of her blouse and leaned against her chest, mumbling. 

Yun Xuan patted his back gently before turning to Lin Ye to say softly, "I'll put him to sleep first. Erm... I don't know which room I should go to." 

"The first room on your left, on the second floor." 

Yun Xuan hummed in approval and went to the second floor. 

There were only three rooms on this floor and Yun Xuan guessed that one of them must be the master bedroom. The other one was probably a study and the one she was going to... a guest room maybe? 

Putting her curiosity aside, she opened the door and a beautiful room fell into her view. 

She didn't know whether it was just her illusion but this room seemed to have been decorated in the styles and colors she liked. 

A second later, she brushed the thought off her brain. Why would Lin Ye know about her preferences? 

She had heard of men preparing specific rooms in their houses for the women they loved, in case the woman moved in before their marriage.

In fact, Wan Jia had such a room in Lu Aotian's house before. It wouldn't be something new.

Perhaps this was simply one such case and this room was initially meant for Lin Ye's flame. 

Though she wondered, why would he let someone else spend the night in the room meant for the woman he loved? 

But then again, maybe it was just a room meant for female guests and the style just happened to be what she liked. 

Pushing all these unrelated thoughts aside, she put the little boy to sleep. 

Then she glanced at her blouse that had been dirtied by the little boy and decided to change into something clean and more comfortable. 

While at it, she thought she was a little sweaty so she might as well take a shower altogether. 

In the bathroom lay a bigger surprise. 

She stood in the bathroom and looked around in shock. "How?" 

A room being decorated in a pale purple color might be a coincidence. After all such bright colors as purple were popular among women. 

But what was going on... why was it that all the beauty and skin care products in the bathroom were of the brand she liked using? And... they looked like they had been here for a day or two since they were unpacked. 

Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? 

...

Downstairs. 

Lin Ye was unhappy that his confession had been interrupted. 

However thinking about it, it was not all that bad. 

Yun Xuan was going to that room. She must think it strange that the theme was what she liked. 

As for how he knew her preference, he was a designer. It was not hard to know what colors and styles would suit a woman just by taking a look at her. 

As a former boss in the fashion world and a current stylist, wouldn't it be strange if she hadn't figured out what suit her, and if she didn't like it? 

Besides, just how long had he been her employee? He would be dumb if he couldn't tell such a basic thing about her. 

The brand of beauty products she liked had been kept in his mind for years; ever since he overheard her conversation with female employees one time when she was in a good mood. It was just his second month in YX Brand but he couldn't forget it.

A petite employee had asked, "Boss, you are very beautiful and your skin is so youthful. Not to mention how long and gorgeous your blonde hair is. Jeez... no one would doubt me if I said that my boss is a teenager. What kind of beauty products do you use?" 

Yun Xuan had smiled from the praises and answered, "Every beauty product I use, from shampoo to body cream, are all from ST Beauty. Even the make up I use is from the same brand. You should try it out too." 

Her words had been etched in his mind for all these years and when he asked his butler to prepare her room with the intention of finding an excuse to convince her to stay together, he naturally specified that everything related to beauty and the skin should be bought from ST Beauty. 

...

The main point was, once she found out that he knew her preferences too much, she would definitely question him. 

He was still trying to calm his nerves when he heard footsteps from the stairs. He knew that she was back. 

She had taken quite some time - perhaps she took a bath. 

His speculation was proven right by the sweet and fresh scent that wafted into his nostrils as soon as she was close to him. 

Yun Xuan thought about how to bring this up. 

She sat opposite him. "Lin Ye...

How do you know the things I like?" 

She thought of another possibility but wasn't quite sure. "Did Wanwan tell you?... I mean she was my substitute before and must have seen everything in my room but... that's so long ago that I would have forgotten all about it if I were her..." 

Once he heard this, Lin Ye considered saying that Wan Jia rememberd it and told her, but thought twice about it. 

Lin Ye, this is your best chance. 

There wasn't easy to muster his courage and there wouldn't be any other opportunity that would present itself on a silver platter like this. If he missed it, it might be too late when he regained his courage. 

He took a deep breath and felt around to take her hands. She unconsciously held his hand when she knew that she was looking for hers. 

The man finally spoke out what he had been holding for years. "You said it before and I never forgot it.

Xuanxuan, it's not just about your preferences. I would never forget anything you said, even if you spoke casually. 

Because.... Xuanxuan, I..." 

A fresh bout of  nervousness filled his core and held her hands a bit too tightly. He huffed another puff of air and continued under her questioning gaze. "I love you. Xuanxuan, I'm in love with you."
