"So the president's family is rich?"
"I'm not really rich or poor, I'm actually quite well-off." Wen Mo scratched his head sheepishly.
When I was planning to move, I was going to just find one of the three apartments to live in, but none of them were close to the school, which made it quite troublesome to go to and from school every day. In the end, I ended up renting an apartment.
"I'm envious." Yin Tao looked on longingly. She and Ye Qingzhou's families were only considered middle-class, and they didn't have much pocket money.
But I'm quite relieved now. Since the chairman's family is rich, no matter how difficult things are, they're not a problem.
"My parents might not even approve yet, so let's not talk about being envious or not." Wen Mo sighed softly and slowly shook his head.
Last time, Dad said that it was up to them to talk however they wanted, but what he really meant was that once they got tired of each other and felt bored, they would naturally break up.
He only agreed on the surface; in reality, he was waiting for the two of them to break up. That old man is wicked.
"President, you even told your parents about this? That's incredible!" Yin Tao was quite shocked. She thought the two of them were just having a normal secret relationship, but she didn't expect that they had already reached the point of telling their parents.
"That's because my dad found out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told him so soon. How come that old man has such sharp eyes..."
Wen Mo still feels lingering fear when he recalls that day. His father found out that the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, which was both embarrassing and scary. Fortunately, the matter was resolved perfectly.
"Did he accept it?" Yin Tao asked curiously.
At this moment, Xia Lian on the other side finally made a move, nodding her head vigorously, "My uncle has agreed, we can date."
"Xiao Lian only speaks when it comes to things like this," Yin Tao teased, snuggling close to Xia Lian's cheek.
"Yes, because I... am going to marry Wenmer."
At this point, even Xia Lian herself felt a little shy, bowing her head and looking down shyly, but she would still cautiously raise her eyes to secretly glance at Wen Mo's reaction.
"That's for the future, not so quick now, you idiot." Wen Mo patted her little head.
"That's great, you've even planned out the future." Yin Tao pouted, leaning on the table and glancing at Ye Qingzhou playing on his phone across the table from time to time.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Qingzhou noticed her gaze, lowered his phone, and asked casually.
"You won't even let me look?"
"It'll cost you fifty yuan to watch it once. I'll transfer the money to you via WeChat later."
"What a shrewd businessman!" Yin Tao grabbed Ye Qingzhou's cheek like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Ignoring the two noisy people beside him, Wen Mo stretched and then waved to Xia Lian.
"Then Xiaolian and I will head back first. I've already paid the bill." Wen Mo scanned the QR code on the wall and transferred all the money for the meal to them.
"I'm a little embarrassed," Yin Tao said shyly, pointing her index finger.
"It's nothing, it's just a little something. Bye-bye." Wen Mo shrugged, smiled and waved to the two of them, then left through the gate with Xia Lian.
Yin Tao and her companion, who were still staying at the restaurant, did not leave so quickly.
Yin Tao scratched the table with a hint of melancholy, propped her chin up, and muttered to herself, "What have you been playing with so intently since just now?"
What happened between the two of them was so shocking that Yin Tao was still in a daze and hadn't quite recovered.
Ye Qingzhou didn't look up, continuing to look at her phone. After a long while, she finally uttered a sentence.
"nothing."
"Not saying anything, how stingy." Yin Tao snorted.
The two remained silent until Ye Qingzhou finally put down her phone, rubbed her aching neck, and asked with a hint of seriousness, "If I said..."
"say what?"
"Don't interrupt me, listen to me first." Ye Qingzhou tapped her head, then said seriously, "If I become a rich person in the future, what will you think?"
After he finished speaking, Yin Tao blinked, clearly not understanding what he was saying.
Is this a question to ask casually?
"Just pretend I asked casually, I want to hear what you think."
"What I think..." Yin Tao frowned slightly, but quickly smiled and relaxed, "Once you have money, you can treat me to delicious food every day!"
Upon hearing this answer, a rare smile appeared on Ye Qingzhou's usually indifferent face, and he flicked her forehead.
"Ouch!"
"I'll treat you to delicious food every day. You're overthinking it." Ye Qingzhou yawned. "Let's go, we should go back."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Mo and Xia Lian didn't return so quickly, but instead spent some time alone together in the pavilion they had met before.
"It's really a bit cold in the pavilion in winter." Wen Mo hugged his arms and rubbed them up and down, his breath turning slightly misty.
Xia Lian leaned close to his shoulder.
"Wenmo".
"Um?"
"Can I have a hug?" she asked, looking up innocently and extending her hands.
Wen Mo didn't answer immediately. He looked around at the surroundings and didn't see a single person. Everyone was probably hiding indoors. No one would come out to freeze like them.
"There shouldn't be any security cameras here...?" he muttered to himself. "Oh well, I hugged him here last time, so it won't make a difference if I do it again."
Thinking of this, Wenmo reached out and hugged the girl, leaning against the pillar of the pavilion behind them, the two of them remaining motionless in a koala pose.
"It's definitely much warmer now, your idea is great." Wen Mo felt the body temperature of the two people and immediately felt no longer cold.
Xia Lian shook her head and reached out to grab his hand. "I just want a hug."
"Oh? So it wasn't to keep me warm."
Wen Mo gave an awkward smile, but quickly stopped thinking about it.
The two sat quietly in the pavilion, leaning against each other. A cool breeze occasionally blew around them, but neither of them seemed to notice, and they simply continued to embrace.
"It feels like the progress is getting faster and faster."
"Hmm?" Xia Lian looked puzzled.
"It's nothing. What I mean is, I feel like everyone around us is about to find out what our relationship is." Wen Mo sighed, counting on his fingers, it seemed that Qin Zhou was the only one among their relatives and friends who didn't know.
Forget it, it's better to keep that kid in the dark. It doesn't matter whether he knows or not, it's fine.
As for Mom, I don't know if Dad has talked to her about it, but he probably hasn't.
"Once everyone around us knows, we'll..."
"You mean, get married?"
“It’s not about getting married, you idiot. How could we possibly get married in our current state?” Wen Mo tapped Xia Lian on the head and then said, “Then we can hold hands openly.”
"So, when are you getting married?"
"……I don't know either."
Wen Mo smiled helplessly; he couldn't grasp the timing either.
"It might be soon, but it might also be a very long time before we can get married."
