Han Liang was standing in front of the large dressing mirror in his closet room and was checking himself out to see if he had dressed according to the occasion or had gone overboard with the dressing style.
It took him more than two hours to decide what to wear for today's dat…movie appointment. He didn't want to wear the same clothes that he wears regularly but also didn't want to look like he had made too many efforts to dress up for this movie appointment as this might give a burden to Luo Dan.
So to keep things simple, he has tried so many clothes and finally fixated on a casual but not-so-casual look.
He was wearing loose-white trousers with a stylish black strap pattern on the sides. And paired the trousers with a plain white tee and a denim blue jacket over it. And for the style statement, he was wearing his favorite smartwatch to go along with his casual but not-so-casual vibes.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror and was pleased to see how handsome he looked even in these casual clothes. Rather than combing his hair neatly, he gave them a rough rub to make them look tousled and match his cool vibes.
" Perfect." He commented to see his photoshoot-ready look through the mirror.
~Ding Dong~
Just as he was fixing his jacket, he heard his doorbell ringing. His eyes widened in surprise as he was not expecting Luo Dan to arrive so early.
He hurriedly looked at the time on his watch and realized that she wasn't early but it was him who got late while getting ready.
" Oh, Lord. Did I clean the kitchen after setting up the food?" He wondered.
" Did I remove the damp towel from the couch?" He panicked upon realizing how he didn't even check if everything was alright or not.
His hands were trembling and could feel his heart beating fast as if would soon jump out of his chest and start dancing freestyle in front of him.
~Ding Dong~
His body froze on one spot in nervousness and was in a state of panic to think what to do first when the doorbell rang again.
" Shit." He cursed in a low voice, before scurrying out and opening the door.

Luo Dan was standing nervously in front of his house and was waiting for him to open the door. A crease appeared on her forehead when he didn't open the door and after waiting for a few moments, she pressed the doorbell again in case he didn't hear it for the first time.
She was holding a bottle of champagne and a small strawberry cake that she bought on the way. Rather than getting the cake from her cafe, she went to some other bakery as she didn't want Jia Fei to find out about the same.
As Luo Dan was trying to calm down her racing heart and was taking deep breaths for the same, she heard a click sound, and the closed door, finally opened.
" Ms. Luo, You're here. Please come….in." Han Liang welcomed her with a bright smile, however, his voice wavered in to see her dressed so beautifully. She was looking like a living fairy in that beautiful delicate lace dress.
Although, he has seen her dressed up beautifully in the past when they passed by each other at awards ceremonies or some other programs. However, this time it was different.
This time she didn't dress up so beautifully to attend an award ceremony or any reunion party but to meet him. The thought of her making efforts to meet him made his cheeks turn crimson and hot as if they were on fire.
While he was ecstatic to see her dressed up so beautifully, Luo Dan was regretting her decision to wear the designer dress with a bow.
Compared to his casual look, she looked as if she had put too much effort in dressing up and was going to attend a party after this.
' Jia Fei was right. This lace bow is too much. I should have worn something casual. Argh….So embarrassing.' She cried inwardly before following him inside and after exchanging greetings, handed him a bottle of champagne and cake that she brought with her.
" You didn't need to bring all of this with you." He said while taking the gifts she brought with her. So this is what it feels like to have guests coming over to one's house.
It was his first time inviting someone over to his place, other than his manager and assistant who always come empty-handed to discuss work-related things only. Even Han Zihao or Grandmother Han has never come over to his place since he moved here.
It's been so long since someone has come to his place and that someone is Luo Dan, makes it even more special.
…..
He made her sit on the couch and brought a glass of water for her to drink.
" Did it surprise you when I asked you to watch a movie with me? I mean…I was meant to watch this movie for a long time but didn't get a chance to watch it. And since you also said that you like to watch movies, I thought why not watch it together." He said while avoiding eye contact with her.
It was so hard to look straight at her face, how would he be able to confess his feelings to her later? Thinking about Xu Nuan's advice to be bold and direct he planned this arrangement but why is this so hard to look straight into her eyes?
Luo Dan noticed how he was avoiding her gaze and a smile appeared on her lips to see him stuttering in his words. At least she is not the only one nervous here.
" It did surprise me but…in a good way." She said while taking a sip of water from the glass.
Two days ago, when she was about to go to bed, she saw a message notification on her phone. She was caught off guard when he suddenly asked her to watch a movie together with him.
She was confused about how to take this message because after exchanging numbers, they started messaging each other but it still wasn't too personal and they always talked about either the cafe or Xu Nuan or something random.
However, watching a movie with him was not something she had expected. She was wondering if it is alright for her to go a step beyond and watch a movie with him. He is related to Jiang Yue now after all.
However, thinking about how he helped her at the reunion party with her high school friends, she decided to be bold for this one and answered him with a 'Yes'.
" Also, I was also looking forward to watching this movie but couldn't go to the movie theater as there will be so many people." She added as she leaned forward to put down the glass on the table.
He took the glass from her and put it on the table before saying, " That's why rather than going to a movie theater, I asked you to meet up at my place. As you know, if we go there, we would end up being wary of people rather than enjoying a movie in peace." He laughed.
Going to a movie theatre together simply means inviting a new scandal.
" However, I am glad that because of this, you came to my place and we finally got the chance to spend some time alone…." he mumbled without even realizing it. However, his eyes widened in horror when he realized that he said those words aloud.
" Hmm? Did you say something?" Luo Dan asked in confusion. Her eyes were busy looking around his house and was staring at the awards that were displayed on the wall shelf when she heard him say something. However, since his voice was low, she couldn't hear what he said.
He stared at her, wide-eyed, and shook his head in absolute denial, " Nothing! I wasn't saying anything important. Are you thirsty…No, wait. Let me bring some drinks and snacks for you." He hurriedly stood up and ran to the kitchen to hide his embarrassing state, leaving bewildered Luo Dan alone in the living room.
He is the prince of every girl's heart and was known for his charming flirty gaze and yet he cannot even look straight in the eyes of the woman he loves. How embarrassing.
