Jing Zhiwan saw Wei Che's reaction and felt secretly proud.
She felt that she was one step closer to success.
She decided to strike while the iron was hot and invited Wei Che, Su Huaiyue and others to her home to further strengthen her relationship with Wei Che.
"Sister Su, Mr. Wei, since you have found the shop, why don't you come to my house tomorrow? I will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food so that we can celebrate together." Jing Zhiwan said with a smile.
Su Huaiyue was about to refuse, but Wei Che said first: "Okay, thank you Miss Jing."
His words made Su Huaiyue's heart tighten. She didn't understand why Wei Che accepted Jing Zhiwan's invitation.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He knew that doing this would make Su Huaiyue sad, but he had an urge to take revenge on her.
He wanted to let Su Huaiyue know how much harm her indifference and decisiveness had caused him.
Su Huaiyue had no choice but to nod and agree.
She knew that she could not stop Wei Che and Jing Zhiwan from dating. Perhaps this was their fate.
The next morning, the sun gently fell on the Wei family's courtyard, covering the entire mansion with a layer of golden gauze.
Led by Madam Wei, the Wei family packed up carefully and went to visit the governor's residence.
Wei Che was wearing a moon-white robe with a green silk ribbon tied around his waist, which made him look even more handsome and tall, but there was an unspeakable sadness between his eyebrows.
Su Huaiyue was wearing a light blue dress, simple yet elegant. Her face was as calm as water, but the occasional hint of loneliness in her eyes revealed her complex emotions.
The two walked side by side, and the atmosphere between them was so subtle that it made people feel suffocated. Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue from time to time, his lips slightly parted, as if he had thousands of words to say, but he swallowed them back again and again. Su Huaiyue always maintained a calm expression, without looking around, and walked quietly into the carriage.
When they arrived at the governor's mansion, they saw the door was wide open and Jing Zhiwan was already standing there waiting for them.
She was wearing a gorgeous rose-red silk dress today, with lifelike phoenixes embroidered on the hem. The golden silk threads sparkled brightly in the sun, and the pearls and jade on her head swayed gracefully, making her look bright and charming.
Seeing the Wei family, she immediately came forward with a smile on her face, her voice clear and pleasant: "Madam Wei, Sister Su, everyone please come in."
Her gaze swept over everyone one by one, finally settling on Wei Che, a barely perceptible hint of shyness and joy flashing in her eyes.
Madam Wei smiled kindly and nodded slightly: "Zhi Wan, thank you for troubling you today."
Jing Zhiwan waved her hands quickly, a warm smile on her face, and said sincerely: "What are you talking about, old lady? It is my honor to invite you all. I usually look forward to the opportunity to entertain you all well, and today I finally got my wish."
When everyone stepped into the Governor's Mansion, they saw that it was decorated extremely luxuriously. The courtyard was spacious and open, the ground was paved with smooth bluestone, and the surrounding walls were painted with exquisite murals, exuding an air of wealth everywhere.
Jing Zhiwan led everyone to the living room, which was decorated warmly and elegantly, with tables and chairs neatly arranged, and exquisite snacks already prepared on the table.
"Everyone, please sit down first and try my snacks." Jing Zhiwan greeted everyone warmly, but her eyes fell on Wei Che from time to time.
Wei Che nodded politely, reached out and picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, savored it carefully, and nodded in praise: "Not bad, it tastes very good. This dessert melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, I guess it must have taken a lot of effort to make it."
When Jing Zhiwan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and her smile was as bright and charming as the flowers blooming in spring.
She looked at Su Huaiyue with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Sister Su, what do you think?"
Su Huaiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a perfect smile: "It's really good, Miss Jing, thank you for your effort. It's a real treat for us to be able to taste such exquisite snacks."
Jing Zhiwan showed a smug look on her face and was secretly delighted in her heart, feeling that she had earned enough face in front of Wei Che and Su Huaiyue.
She continued to greet everyone warmly, serving tea to one person and introducing the characteristics of dim sum to another. Wei Ersao, Wei Sansao and others also praised Jing Zhiwan for her thoughtful arrangements. For a while, the living room was filled with laughter.
At lunch time, everyone moved to the restaurant.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, which were delicious and made people salivate at the sight.
Jing Zhiwan personally accompanied everyone for dinner. She sat next to Wei Che, picking up food for him from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.
"Master Wei, this dish tastes good, please try it." Jing Zhiwan picked up a piece of tender fish with a serving chopstick and carefully placed it in Wei Che's bowl, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze.
Wei Che smiled slightly, a polite smile on his face, and nodded: "Thank you, Miss Jing."
He took the fish and gently put it into his mouth. His face looked a little absent-minded while chewing. His eyes occasionally drifted towards Su Huaiyue, but every time their eyes met, he quickly looked away.
Su Huaiyue sat aside, watching the interaction between the two. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and it ached slightly, but she still suppressed her emotions and kept smiling. Occasionally, she chatted with Madam Wei about some trivial family matters, trying to hide the waves in her heart.
After lunch, Jing Zhiwan enthusiastically suggested taking everyone to visit the garden of the governor's mansion.
"Sister Su, I'll take you to see my garden. I've planted some new flowers recently. They're in bloom now and are very beautiful." Jing Zhiwan said with excitement in her eyes.
Su Huaiyue nodded, her tone calm, "Great! I've heard the gardens of the Governor's Mansion are beautiful, and today is a great opportunity to feast my eyes on them. I'm sure the flowers must be gorgeous and pleasing to the eye."
When everyone arrived at the garden, they saw clusters of flowers in the garden. The colorful flowers were competing for beauty. The breeze blew, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, which made people intoxicated.
Jing Zhiwan was in high spirits, like a cheerful little bird, flying through the flowers. Pointing to a cluster of blooming peonies, she excitedly said, "Sister Su, this peony is my favorite. Look at the layers of petals and the bright colors. Isn't it beautiful?"
Su Huaiyue praised: "It is indeed beautiful, Miss Jing has good taste. This peony is worthy of being the king of flowers. It blooms so gracefully and luxuriously, adding a lot of splendor to this garden."
Jing Zhiwan showed a smug smile on her face, turned to look at Wei Che, her eyes full of expectation: "Master Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Che smiled slightly, his eyes lingering on the peony for a moment, and said, "The peony is indeed beautiful."
His tone was flat, but there was no ripple in his heart. In his eyes, these beautiful flowers were far less important than the faint smile of Su Huaiyue beside him.
