"Me and You Uncle have arrived in Jin City."
"Do you still have two exams this afternoon? Rest well at noon, and I wish you success in every exam."
"As it happens, I also need to deal with some work during the day, so how about we have dinner together tonight? If it’s okay with you, just the two of us, what do you think?"
Tang Xiaowan read the message several times before finally running out of the lecture hall in one breath.
She knew Leng Lingxiao was waiting for her at the old place.
She wanted to tell him about Ye Wanhua’s arrival in Jin City so that he could be happy too.
A moment later, Tang Xiaowan burst out of the gates of the Foreign Language College like a gust of wind, her heart racing as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
And at that moment, Leng Lingxiao was watching her.
He stood beside a black motorcycle, tall and straight, the sunshine highlighting the warmth in his deep eyes.
His gentle smile seemed to tell her that there was nothing to fear as long as he was there.
Tang Xiaowan felt like the whole world suddenly lit up. She waved her arms vigorously and shouted, "Huahua!" Then she ran towards him like a little bird and threw herself into his arms.
Leng Lingxiao hugged her tightly, feeling her trembling body and rapid heartbeat.
Good, she seems in a good mood!
He looked down at her, his eyes filled with indulgence and tenderness, "Why are you running so fast? What’s up? Did you know all the answers, could you get full marks?"
"No, Ye Wanhua... she’s come to Jin City!"
Tang Xiaowan’s heart fluttered with anticipation and a slight nervousness, while a flicker of surprise and anxiety passed through Leng Lingxiao’s eyes.
"Ye Wanhua has come to Jin City?"
Tang Xiaowan nodded vigorously and unlocked her phone, "Yes, look, she sent me this message."
"Oh, Wang Junchen is here too!"
A sharp glint flashed in Leng Lingxiao’s eyes, then he quickly stuffed the phone back into Tang Xiaowan’s bag with swift, decisive movements, not wanting her to see the change in his emotions.
But she noticed anyway.
"What is it? Are you worried that Wang Junchen’s visit this time... his purpose is..."
Leng Lingxiao’s lips curled slightly, and his gaze became deep and firm, "Yes, their visit to Jin City... is not just about dealing with work."
Tang Xiaowan sensed the seriousness and tension in Leng Lingxiao, realizing that there was nothing simple about this. She held his hand firmly, a determined light flashing in her eyes, "No matter what he’s up to, I won’t get involved, don’t worry."
Leng Lingxiao gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering, "That would be best, or I would worry."
"I’m hungry, what’s for lunch?"
"Tch, definitely lots of meat!"
They exchanged a glance filled with tacit understanding, their trust and reliance on each other only strengthened.
"Come on, put on your helmet, let’s go!"
The sleek black motorcycle zoomed through the bustling streets of Jin City like a bolt of lightning.
Leng Lingxiao expertly maneuvered it, while Tang Xiaowan hugged his waist tightly, their bodies pressed close as if they were one.
"Happy!" Tang Xiaowan replied with a smile.
"Louder, I can’t hear you."
"Hap...py, very very happy!"
The sunlight spilled through the gaps in the leaves onto them, and Tang Xiaowan smiled, closing her beautiful eyes, savoring the sound of the wind whistling past her ears.
At this moment, she seemed to forget all her troubles and displeasure, wanting only to enjoy this liberating ride with Leng Lingxiao.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
After finishing her work at Wanhua Jewelry, Ye Wanhua left Yishen Mall in high spirits, ready to have lunch with Wang Junchen.
Despite her resentment towards Yuan Min, she understood that she needed to remain calm and rational for the time being.
A window seat in an upscale restaurant.
Soft lighting and the fresh scent of flowers created a warm and romantic atmosphere as the two savored the Food and talked about the baby in the womb.
Afterward, Ye Wanhua showed her husband the set of jewelry she had secretly designed last month. Wang Junchen looked at it carefully, his eyes flashing with admiration and a hint of concern.
"Hmm, not bad, pretty!"
"How would it go with Tangtang’s wedding dress?" Ye Wanhua asked excitedly as she put away her phone.
"Wouldn’t it be... a bit too luxurious?"
"Luxurious? Not at all!"
In Ye Wanhua’s heart, this still wasn’t enough, at least not enough to express her blessings for Tang Xiaowan and the affection of an elder.
"Come on, tell me, is it okay or not?"
"It’s fine, it can work." Wang Junchen nodded and then advised, "You need to make sure you’re resting."
To him, health was more important.
"No worries, I have been feeling particularly energetic lately, as if I’ve gotten younger by a dozen years, completely fine."
After his wife said this, Wang Junchen inexplicably thought of the tea leaves Tang Mei gave them, suspecting that something had been added to boost her constitution.
For Tang Mei, this wasn’t difficult, after all, it was her specialty.
Medicine could kill, and naturally, it could also save.
"What, you don’t believe it?" Ye Wanhua smiled proudly, "I’m telling the truth, haven’t you noticed my appetite has been especially good lately!"
"I believe, of course, I believe it. Here, eat some more, finish this fish, and there’s beef too."
"By the way, tonight you’ll be on your own..."
Ye Wanhua smiled and started to chat with Wang Junchen about inviting Tang Xiaowan to dine together. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelFɪre.net
However, she didn’t know that at that moment, someone was sitting across the street on an open-air seat, watching her every move, and had taken many photos.
The person taking the photos was a young man with a lean figure and delicate features.
He held a professional long-focus camera in his hands, his gaze sharp and focused, as he constantly watched Ye Wanhua and Wang Junchen’s restaurant window.
In order to ensure clear photos, he carefully chose his shooting angle and lighting, and continuously adjusted the camera’s focus and settings.
"Good, not bad, perfect!"
His finger gently pressed the camera button, each click of the shutter sound exceptionally crisp.
To avoid detection, he disguised himself as a photographer and was constantly aware of the passersby around him, making sure his actions would not attract attention.
However, he was extremely excited deep inside.
His eyes revealed a sly and greedy glow, as if he was thrilled about the "prey" about to fall into his hands, after all, it was a substantial sum of money, enough for him to squander for a while.
Just then, he suddenly felt a strong gaze upon him.
Bad, bad, blown cover!
He should have brought a pretty girl with him, so he wouldn’t have been discovered so quickly.
He looked up and saw a tall figure watching him coldly; his heart skipped a beat, and his camera trembled in his hands, sensing an impending disaster.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Hello, I had reserved this spot yesterday," the middle-aged man replied indifferently. "Would you mind giving it up?"
"Sorry, sorry, my apologies!"
Immediately, his gaze met the middle-aged man’s, as if an invisible force were swirling between them.
Thank goodness, it’s not one of Wang Junchen’s men.
Hmph, good, he knows better!
Both men smiled, each harboring their thoughts.
Under the middle-aged man’s gaze, he had to abandon the idea of continuing to covertly photograph Ye Wanhua.
He awkwardly packed up his camera and hurriedly left the open-air seat, disappearing into the crowd, while the middle-aged man stood in place, his gaze deep and resolute, as if everything was within his control.
