<h4>Chapter 1324: Chapter 1632: Date Under the Starry Sky (Part 2)</h4>


    When Tang Shiyun stepped out of the elevator, she was immediately stunned by the scene before her.


    The entire rooftop was surrounded by colorful lights, breathtakingly beautiful. In the very center of the rooftop was a table covered with a red tablecloth, with two red candles ced at each end, emitting a warm glow. On the path from the elevator to the dining table, there were handrails made of colored strips on both sides, mixed with twinkling bright lights.


    "So beautiful..." Tang Shiyun murmured to herself, her whole body frozen in ce, unable to recover for quite a while.


    After a moment, Tang Shiyun turned to look at Ling Chen beside her, clutching his arm and asked, "Ling, did you prepare all this for me?"


    Ling Chen smiled slightly and said, "Besides you, is there anyone else here?"


    Upon hearing this, the smile on Tang Shiyun’s face grew even brighter, her shining eyes even contained a hint of glistening tears.


    "Come, have a seat." Ling Chen took Tang Shiyun’s small hand and gentlemanly helped her pull out a chair. After they were seated, Tang Shiyun looked up at the starry night sky, her eyes showing a touch of emotion.


    "Ling, this is the happiest night of my life."


    Ling Chen said with a stern face: "You’re still young, saying such things at this age."


    "It’s true, I’m not lying to you. Even if I make more money and gain more fame, it can’tpare to this evening’s date."


    "Alright! I’ve asked people to prepare your favoritete-night snack, try itter and see how the taste is." Just as he finished speaking, several employees from Falcon Private Security Company came out from the elevator carrying trays. After putting down the snacks, they left the rooftop without stopping.


    "Here’s Mapo Tofu, here’s marinated meat skewers, and this, grilledmb chops, all the things you loved eating at the food stalls back then. This is Beijing, don’t know how the tastepares."


    Tang Shiyun picked up a marinated meat skewer and asked happily, "Ling, I didn’t expect you to remember so clearly."


    "Why wouldn’t I remember?" Ling Chen said with a smile: "Back when we were neighbors, I often took you out for feasts. You, this girl, always ate more than I did, making me almost hesitant to take you out, afraid you’d eat me into poverty."


    "I was growing then, of course, I ate a lot." After finishing a meat skewer, Tang Shiyun wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked, "Ling, did you read today’s entertainment news?"


    Ling Chen nodded, "I did. You, this girl... having a crush and not telling me, do you want me to spank you?"


    Upon hearing this, Tang Shiyun’s eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly yet nervously: "Ling, do you want to know who my crush is?"


    "Forget it! I’m not interested in knowing. You’re already an adult; you should have your own private life and secrets. Besides, the man you fancy must not be too bad." Ling Chen said while biting into the grilledmb chop, without looking up.


    To be honest, Ling Chen was a bit afraid, afraid that the name Tang Shiyun would say was his own. Although he had guessed it, it hadn’t been spoken aloud. Some things, as long as the paper hasn’t been torn, it can be easily talked about. Once it’s torn, it would feel awkward, and most importantly, Ling Chen wouldn’t know how to handle it.


    Deep down, does he like Tang Shiyun? There’s no doubt the answer is yes.


    However, everyone is an adult now, and many things can’t be done recklessly based solely on preference. If he epted Tang Shiyun, how would he exin it to Nanrong Wanqing? If it were in ancient times, having multiple wives wouldn’t be a problem, but not now; ethics andws don’t allow such situations to ur.


    Moreover, people today are selfish; no one wants to share a man with another woman.


    Therefore, Ling Chen didn’t dare to make promises lightly, nor easily ept someone.


    After hesitating for a moment, Ling Chen looked up at Tang Shiyun across the table and said: "Girl, you’re still young, not even twenty. In the future, you’ll meet many people. When you encounter more people, you may find someone more suitable for you. So, before you turn twenty, it’s best not to consider feelings or hurry to make choices and decisions. Your career is just starting; focus on doing a good job first. Regardless of what happens in the future, I’ll stay by your side. Okay?"


    Originally, Tang Shiyun’s mood was a bit low, but after hearing Ling Chen’s words, her face showed a trace of smile again.


    She is a smart girl; she understood Ling Chen’s words.


    "Ling, why didn’t you prepare wine?"


    "Do you want to drink?" Ling Chen nodded, "Alright, wait here, I’ll call someone to send a bottle of wine over."


    "No need, I have a bottle, it’s a gift from a friend, they say it’s quite old, I’ll ask Hong to get someone to deliver it." After saying this, without waiting for Ling Chen to speak, Tang Shiyun picked up her phone, stepped aside, and called Xu Hong.


    A few minutester, Tang Shiyun returned to her seat, smiling and said: "It’s done, Hong said it will be delivered within half an hour."


    Ling Chen shook his head helplessly: "I do have wine here; why trouble Hong?"


    The two of them sat on the rooftop, chatting for around twenty minutes. It was then that Tang Shiyun’s phone rang. After ncing at the iing caller disy, she stood up and said: "The person delivering the wine arrived, Ling, wait here, I’ll be right back."


    With that, Tang Shiyun grabbed her phone and sprinted off, running quickly into the elevator.


    This girl... Ling Chen chuckled, casually taking out his phone to y.


    Not long after, Tang Shiyun returned from the elevator holding a bottle of wine. Seeing her flushed face, she probably ran back quickly.


    "Ling, try my wine." Tang Shiyun took the cup and filled it for Ling Chen.


    "I say... girl, you need to let the wine breathe before drinking, you’re wasting it like this."


    "Ohe on! We’re drinking for the fun of it, not for tasting, whatever." She said, raising her ss and said: "Ling, I’ll finish mine first."


    Seeing Tang Shiyun finish her ss in a few gulps, Ling Chen was taken aback. Could it be that this girl was provoked?


    "Ling, it’s your turn, don’t tell me you’re chickening out." Tang Shiyun blinked her bright eyes.


    "Alright, since you want to drink, I’ll join you wholeheartedly." With that, Ling Chen downed his ss of wine in one go.


    "More."


    Before long, the two of them had three sses down. Seeing Tang Shiyun’s flushed face, Ling Chen hurriedly stopped her from pouring more, saying: "Girl, you can’t drink any more."
