Chapter 244 He Must Go In
Ye Wanqing walked out of the hospital, drove through the slightly warm streets in the afternoon, and headed straight to the towering building where Qin Zhuyu worked.
She was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like the most gentle scenery in summer.
She and Qin Zhuyu had already made an appointment to have lunch together, and Qin Zhuyu happened to be free today and did not need to go out and be busy in front of the camera, so she happily agreed.
Ye Wanqing waited patiently in the shade downstairs of the company building. Soon, she saw Qin Zhuyu holding an exquisite parasol and running towards her car with light steps.
Ye Wanqing opened the passenger door with a smile, and that smile was like the early summer breeze, blowing through Qin Zhuyu's heart.
Qin Zhuyu put away her umbrella and sighed as she got into the car, "Today's sun is really unforgiving. It's not even midsummer yet, and it's already so hot."
Ye Wanqing glanced at the phone next to the dashboard. It was still early, not yet noon.
"You're down so early? Are you done with work?" There was some concern in her voice.
Qin Zhuyu waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's all done. I have an interview tomorrow, and today happens to be free. You asked me out at the perfect time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be busy like a top until the Dragon Boat Festival."
As she spoke, Qin Zhuyu took the iced sour plum juice handed to her by Ye Wanqing, took a sip gently, and her eyes were full of admiration: "Wanqing, you look so good today, like someone who just walked out of a painting."
"Thank you for the compliment. I've been sleeping better recently." Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, with a subtle sense of relief hidden in her smile.
"It seems that sleep really is the best beautician!" Qin Zhuyu agreed, but secretly pondered in her heart, not daring to easily touch on topics that might make Ye Wanqing uneasy, so she turned to talk about the weather: "This year's summer is more intense than in previous years."
"Indeed, but I've been staying in the villa, so I don't feel it's that hot." Ye Wanqing responded. Her villa is located in a corner of the city, surrounded by green trees and well-ventilated, so it's naturally less hot.
Qin Zhuyu suddenly remembered the embarrassing video of Xu Xinyi on the golf course that she got from her brother Qin Huai last night. She felt secretly proud and decided to share this "fun" with Ye Wanqing.
As she scrolled through her Moments, she said, "I asked my brother last night for the video of you guys playing golf. I'm posting it on Moments right now so everyone can have some fun."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Will this not affect the relationship between your two families?"
Qin Zhuyu chuckled, her tone filled with disdain: "Given the Xu family's current situation, who would dare to approach them easily? Ever since the incident of the illegitimate child was exposed, the Xu family has been in chaos.
In addition to the shareholders' dissatisfaction with Xu Xinrong, they held a shareholders' meeting last Friday to try to remove him.
Now, another project of the Xu family has run into problems, and the approval process has been stuck, resulting in heavy losses. "Why should our Qin family be afraid of such a Xu family?"
Qin Zhuyu's circle of friends soon caused a sensation, and the video was spread rapidly, even Xu Xinyi received it.
When she saw this, she was so angry that her face turned pale and she even lost her appetite for lunch. However, Qin Zhuyu and Ye Wanqing were enjoying their food in the restaurant, chatting and laughing happily.
After the meal, the two chatted for a long time until Ye Wanqing sent Qin Zhuyu back to the company before two o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning to the villa, Ye Wanqing realized that she had missed Lin Xuan's call. She explained to Lin Xuan on WeChat that she had just had lunch with Qin Zhuyu and did not notice the ringing of her phone.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Xuan did not reply. Ye Wanqing guessed that he might be busy, so she took her phone and returned to the study, ready to continue finishing the finale of her new book.
She spent two full days carefully crafting the ending of the new book, and another half a day making detailed revisions.
After finishing her final read, she finally revealed a satisfied smile. After sending the entire manuscript to the editor, Ye Wanqing stood up and walked to the balcony, intending to relax her tense nerves.
The wind on the balcony was a bit cool. Ye Wanqing was wearing a light long dress and lying on a comfortable lounge chair. She fell asleep unknowingly.
Perhaps because of the fatigue from the past few days, she slept very soundly and didn't even hear the doorbell.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was standing outside the villa with a determined look. He climbed over the wall without hesitation, which surprised Zhao Yu and the driver in the car.
The driver was stunned for a while before coming to his senses. He turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "Secretary Zhao, do we still need to wait for President Lin?"
Zhao Yu looked at the direction where Lin Xuan disappeared, thinking to himself: "No need, let's go. Mr. Lin is in such a state today that he must enter this villa."
Lin Xuan found the spare key with ease, opened the door and walked into the villa. He searched for Ye Wanqing one by one, from the bedroom to the studio, then to the study, and finally to the balcony.
On the lounge chair on the balcony, Ye Wanqing was lying quietly on her side, breathing evenly and calmly.
A cool breeze blew across the balcony, causing the chiffon skirt that was lightly draped over the edge of the lounge chair to sway slowly like waves on the sea.
Ye Wanqing's long hair was gently lifted by the breeze, drawing graceful arcs in the air, and then slowly fell down and spread on the lounge chair, blending with her figure, forming a peaceful and harmonious picture.
She was immersed in sleep, a faint smile on her lips, as if she was experiencing some beautiful dream. The hustle and bustle of the outside world had become distant and vague to her.
The sunlight shines through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, and coating the corner of the balcony with a layer of golden color.
Ye Wanqing's face looked particularly gentle and peaceful under this warm light. Lin Xuan stood quietly by her side, gazing at her tenderly, as if the whole world had become peaceful and beautiful because of her presence.
He approached slowly, his steps light and cautious, afraid to disturb the tranquility.
He reached out his hand and gently touched the hair scattered on her face with his fingertips, feeling their softness and smoothness.
Then, he carefully used his fingers to tidy up the hair one by one so that they no longer blocked her face and ensured that she could breathe freely.
During this process, every movement of Lin Xuan was full of tenderness and care, as if he was treating a precious work of art with great care.
His gaze never left Ye Wanqing's face, his eyes filled with deep attachment and reluctance.
When the last strand of hair was tidied, Lin Xuan slowly stretched out his arms and prepared to pick her up gently.
His movements were gentle yet powerful, as if he was afraid of disturbing her dreams.
