Mo Ziyan realized she may have been too direct and revealed too much. So she started to worry that Gu Qingli would think she wasn't very reserved.
"I simply took notice of you...here and there."
Gu Qingli revealed a handsome smile and did not ask any further. Women were sensitive, so he couldn't embarrass her.
"It seems, I need to work harder."
"Huh?" Mo Ziyan didn't understand what Gu Qingli was trying to say.
"To understand you better."
Mo Ziyan had to admit that she cherished this meal, but she also felt really restrained by it. She wanted to show her best side to Gu Qingli, but it made her feel like she was holding back.
Perhaps, Gu Qingli could sense that she was tiptoeing around him, so after they finished eating, he said to Mo Ziyan, "From now on, you can act normally at dinner. Since I'm already seated here, I'm not going to leave that easily."
Mo Ziyan lifted her head and saw Gu Qingli's smile; it was extremely warm.
