Chapter 212 A walk together
Mrs. Lin deliberately glanced at Ye Wanqing with a deep look in her eyes. Then she slowly turned her head and smiled gently at Lin Xuan: "You're back at the right time. We were just about to have dinner."
Lin Xuan's gaze gently swept across Ye Wanqing, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly in greeting. The movement was elegant and distant, as if it was a courtesy to a stranger.
"You guys eat first, I'll go wash my hands."
His voice was low and magnetic, and as he spoke, he walked towards the bathroom.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin also warmly invited Ye Wanqing to sit down and have dinner.
Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly reached out to support Mrs. Lin, but she gently waved her hand and refused: "I'm still very strong, there's no need for this."
Hearing this, the butler's lips curled up into a warm smile, and he withdrew his hand and said, "Yes, you have always been in good health."
Mrs. Lin snorted lightly, with a bit of pride on her face, and slowly walked towards the dining table.
Ye Wanqing also went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she happened to run into Lin Xuan.
He had just washed his face, and the hair on his forehead was wet. Water droplets slowly dripped along the ends of his hair, adding a bit of unruly air to him.
He was wearing a slightly loose white shirt with a few buttons casually undone at the collar, revealing his delicate collarbone and fair skin.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him casually, a blush appeared on her face, and she quickly lowered her head: "I'll go wash my hands."
"Yeah." Lin Xuan responded lightly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
Ye Wanqing came out after washing her hands and found him still standing there, looking at her with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her. She stroked her hair awkwardly: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Well, I was just thinking about something."
The two walked side by side to the dining room. The housekeeper chuckled softly in Mrs. Lin's ear and said, "You are truly a perfect match made in heaven."
Mrs. Lin's eyes sparkled with satisfaction when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly: "My future great-grandson will definitely be adorable!"
"Of course!" the butler agreed with a smile.
Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan walked to the dining table and sat down, and the topic between them came to an abrupt end.
However, Mrs. Lin's undisguised gaze made Ye Wanqing feel a little uncomfortable.
After everyone was seated, the aunt had already arranged the sumptuous dishes neatly.
Mrs. Lin ate her meal gracefully and calmly. She took a sip of her soup and looked at Lin Xuan: "Have you heard about what happened in the Xu family?"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly: "I've heard a little bit about it."
Mrs. Lin turned her gaze to Ye Wanqing again: "Where's Wanqing? Have you heard?"
Ye Wanqing smiled and responded, "I know a thing or two too."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin was also interested in these family matters. She continued, "No one in the Xu family is a good person. You'd better not have any dealings with them."
She seemed to remember something, and turned to ask Ye Wanqing: "Has Xu Xinyi been giving you any trouble recently?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently: "No more."
Feeling Lin Xuan's gaze, she became even more uncomfortable. She quickly lowered her head and took a sip of soup, trying to hide her panic.
Mrs. Lin watched the interaction between the two and was secretly happy, so she stopped asking questions. Dinner lasted for nearly an hour, and Ye Wanqing was a little full.
After dinner, Mrs. Lin and the housekeeper went downstairs for a walk. Hearing that Ye Wanqing was too full, Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to ask Lin Xuan to accompany her for a walk.
The villa area was spacious and peaceful, with fresh and pleasant air. Taking a walk after dinner was indeed a wonderful experience. Mrs. Lin deliberately chose the opposite direction from them. Even if Ye Wanqing was slow to react, she could tell that the old lady was trying to match her with Lin Xuan.
The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright. Although there are no stars to adorn it, the moon in the sky is as bright as a round disk.
The night in May was a bit cool, and there were not many people walking in the villa area. On the long road, only Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan were walking side by side.
The lights on the roadside were soft and warm, stretching the shadows of the two people long.
Ye Wanqing watched the shadows on the ground swaying with the changes in her steps. She looked up at Lin Xuan beside her: "I went for a follow-up visit this morning, and the doctor said I'm in good condition."
There was a hint of joy and gratitude in her words, and Lin Xuan's contribution was also part of it.
"That's great." Lin Xuan's voice was low and magnetic.
Ye Wanqing smiled. A gentle breeze blew past, and a few strands of her hair fluttered down. She gently tucked them behind her ears. "The police called me this morning and said they've found out who sent the text messages. It was Xu Xinyi. They've already warned her."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan looked at her even more deeply. It was a rare moment of leisure and tranquility for the two of them.
The breeze brought the coolness of the night, gently swaying Lin Xuan's heart, but did not stir up a ripple.
The elegant fragrance of Ye Wanqing drifted away in the wind. He took a deep breath secretly, as if all the fatigue of the past few days was gently wiped away by this fragrance.
His throat rolled slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "They are already busy with the Xu family's affairs. If they dare to disturb you again, I will show no mercy."
His words were filled with unquestionable determination, and his brows revealed an inviolable arrogance. Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing's eyes shifted and she smiled softly, as if she was both surprised and relieved by his determination.
"Will the Xu family take any action against you because of this?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, with some concern in her words.
Lin Xuan's lips curled up into a faint smile, which was filled with pride and confidence. "What can they do to me?"
He never reveals this pride easily, but at this moment, it comes out naturally.
Ye Wanqing looked at him, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised: "You're right, they really can't do anything to you."
The two continued strolling along the tree-lined avenue in the villa area until the night deepened, around 8:30, when they slowly returned to the Lin residence.
Ye Wanqing drove here by herself. Mrs. Lin originally wanted to ask Lin Xuan to give her a ride, but when she learned that she had already driven here, she no longer insisted.
"Then I'll go first, old lady. I'll come to visit you next time." Ye Wanqing said goodbye softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"Okay, be careful on the road. Axuan, please see Wanqing off for me." Mrs. Lin instructed.
Lin Xuan escorted Ye Wanqing to the entrance of the villa. Her car was parked quietly not far away. He stopped and looked at her gently: "Just send her here."
Ye Wanqing nodded gently, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "If there are any more text messages tonight, I won't read them."
She could already guess the content of Xu Xinyi's text message and was already on guard.
"Be safe on the road, and send me a message when you get home."
Ye Wanqing got into the car, fastened her seat belt, smiled and waved to Lin Xuan: "Okay, I will."
The black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove away, eventually disappearing into the night. Lin Xuan stood there quietly until the car completely disappeared, then turned back to the Lin residence.
Mrs. Lin was still enjoying her fruit in the living room. She looked up at Lin Xuan with a questioning look in her eyes: "You were the one who settled the Xu family's affairs, right?"
She didn't want to ask more questions at the dinner table, but at this moment, she could already guess a little.
Lin Xuan nodded lightly, walked to the sofa, and his eyes fell on the mung bean cake on the coffee table: "Did Ye Wanqing make this?"
"Well, this child is really thoughtful. She knows that I like to eat these, so she never forgets to bring some every time she comes." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
Lin Xuan picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "I didn't expect that this dessert is quite good."
He has never been fond of sweets, but today, this cake seemed particularly delicious to him.
Mrs. Lin looked at him with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Don't you always dislike sweets?"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, as if at this moment, all his defenses were put down: "It's not bad to try it occasionally."
