Lin An was slightly annoyed when he received the news, but he didn't say much and even reimbursed their return high-speed rail fare.
The two were extremely grateful, as good clients are as rare as ghosts.
It's bad luck to encounter a woman like Yang Li who uses despicable methods.
However, Lin An was not worried, after all, he had the backing of the Tong family in the capital, so he was not afraid of not being able to find Lin Zhe.
Lin An immediately called Tong Jun.
"Hey, cousin!" Tong Jun's voice was very alluring.
Even through the phone, Lin An could almost see his delicate, orchid-like fingers.
"Cousin! I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor," Lin An said, getting straight to the point.
"We're all family, why be so polite? Just tell me, I'll do my best to help."
Tong Jun may have a slightly effeminate appearance, but she is very straightforward and loyal in her dealings with others.
"I want to find someone in Beijing named Lin Zhe."
Tong Jun had conducted a thorough investigation of Lin An. He was very familiar with the name Lin Zhe and understood the significance of this person to Lin An, so he immediately agreed.
"Alright! Don't worry, there's no one in the capital that the Tong family can't find; it's just a matter of time."
Lin An added, "He's holding an antique left to me by my grandfather, and I'm afraid he'll sell it."
"Understood! I'll arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Lin An felt a little relieved and thanked Tong Jun.
After hearing this, Tong Jun scoffed and said with her pinky finger raised:
"Lin An, don't give me that. If you really want to thank me, go see my sister more often and spend more time with her. We'll be going back to the capital in a few days."
Lin An gave a wry smile and replied, "Okay, cousin, I'll go see her tomorrow."
He hung up the phone and became troubled. Ever since that incident with Zhou Ya, he had been afraid to see Leng Lin. Although the girl didn't know anything, he was just afraid. He wondered if it was because he was afraid of Leng Lin's excessive strength.
......
At this moment, Zhang Wanru was looking at the villa in front of her with amazement. Chen Xiaohe's villa was bigger and better than the Lin family's.
She couldn't help but sigh to herself that she was destined to live in a villa; if the Lin family's villa was gone, then the Chen family's villa would be.
Chen Xiaohe led her into the villa, which was even more luxurious and grand inside. Zhang Wanru couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiaohe, the decoration here is too good."
Chen Xiaohe smiled slightly: "I'm glad you like it. It's all fully furnished by the developer. Because we were in a hurry to move in, we didn't hire a designer to tailor a design for us. Otherwise, it could have been even better."
Chen Xiaohe's words revealed his extraordinary economic strength, and Zhang Wanru was completely won over by him.
Like a curious little girl, she pleaded in a sweet voice, "Xiao He, please show me around the villa."
Chen Xiaohe showed her around the first floor and then took her to the dressing room on the second floor.
Several military uniforms hanging in the dressing room were particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Wanru asked in surprise, "Xiao He, were you a military officer in the United States?"
Chen Xiaohe nodded: "I served as a captain in the United States and accumulated a lot of political resources, which is also the guarantee of my career success."
Zhang Wanru's admiration was immediately reflected on her face, her eyes sparkling.
Chen Xiaohe then took out several of his badges and recounted his military career.
Zhang Wanru exclaimed in amazement, wondering how such a perfect man could exist in the world.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xiaohe reminded her that it was still early and she could take a nap before preparing dinner.
Zhang Wanru was led to a guest room by Chen Xiaohe. She was filled with romantic feelings and thought that something was about to happen so soon.
Moreover, this wasn't the first time the two people had met. Generally speaking, when two people who have been intimately close meet again, they are more likely to spark a connection once more, provided the circumstances allow. It seems that's just human nature.
This is why many people require their partners to cut off all ties with their exes when looking for a new partner, and they absolutely do not believe that people can remain friends after a breakup.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Xiaohe helped her get a blanket, he turned around and walked out of the room like a gentleman.
Zhang Wanru became even more convinced that Chen Xiaohe was a good person and a man she could entrust her life to.
She had a good sleep, and around 4 p.m., she and Chen Xiaohe went into the kitchen together.
Zhang Wanru put on an apron, something she hadn't worn in the Lin family for over twenty years.
With Chen Xiaohe's help, she began to prepare the ingredients and cook.
Although it wasn't difficult, it was still a bit chaotic for someone who hadn't been in the kitchen much.
Chen Xiaohe quickly realized that Zhang Wanru couldn't cook at all, so he had to assign her some simple tasks like washing vegetables.
From an angle unseen by Zhang Wanru, a hint of suppressed irritation flashed across Chen Xiaohe's face.
As he chopped vegetables, he mentally complained, "What kind of woman is she who can't cook, doesn't take care of the children, and doesn't go to work to earn money?"
Watching his skillful knife work, Zhang Wanru felt that the man in front of her was simply the prince charming of her dreams.
Having lived with Lin Haoran for over twenty years, we had never cooked together before, and this feeling of happiness was unprecedented.
She just felt that the man chopping vegetables next to her could bring her endless joy.
Watching him cook for me fills me with indescribable satisfaction.
When two people cook together, some physical contact is inevitable. The hand that touches when handing over food, the body that brushes against when passing by—all of these things made Zhang Wanru's mind wander, and soon her face turned red.
After all, her first time was with Chen Xiaohe, and even after many years, she is still affected by that beautiful memory.
It was as if the man in front of her possessed a strong magnetic field that drew her closer.
But she always felt that she was a woman and that she shouldn't be too proactive as the woman.
At this moment, Zhang Wanru began to dislike the large villa, because the kitchen was far too big. If it were a smaller kitchen, the two of them would easily be pressed together while working.
When Chen Xiaohe finished chopping the vegetables and was about to start frying the steak, he spoke:
"Wanru, you should go out first. I'm afraid the fumes will make you choke."
At this moment, Zhang Wanru could no longer suppress her emotions. She rushed forward and hugged Chen Xiaohe tightly from behind, saying excitedly:
"Xiao He, I've missed you so much these past twenty years, and I've always longed to see you again!"
Chen Xiaohe was suddenly hugged by Zhang Wanru, and had no choice but to turn off the gas that he had just turned on.
His expression remained calm and composed.
Before he could say anything, Zhang Wanru said urgently:
"Xiao He, we've missed each other for over twenty years. We finally have a chance to meet again, and I want to be with you. Promise me! Will you be my boyfriend?"
