Lin Tingfeng smiled, knowing that she finally understood why he had appeared the moment her foot was injured. With a smile, he slowly said, "I thought that given your personality, you would definitely come to the rooftop to be alone when you're tired. So sometimes when I'm tired, I'll look out the window, thinking I might see you. I didn't expect you to come up here on your first day of internship. But later, you probably got busy and became more independent, so you never came up to the rooftop again. On the other hand, I've been secretly watching from the office every day and discovered all the employees in the company who are dating. Humph, they clearly don't allow dating within the company!"
Ha, Ye Wenyu laughed, put the water glass on the table, and leaned on Lin Tingfeng's shoulder with a laugh. Lin Tingfeng simply reached out and gently hugged her.
The two embraced each other, quietly watching the snow scene outside the window.
He asked her, "The New Year is coming soon, how should we celebrate it?"
Chinese New Year? Ye Wenyu's smile froze as she looked up. For someone like her who had no home, where to spend the New Year was always a question.
"Did your mother invite you home for the Chinese New Year?" Lin Tingfeng asked Ye Wenyu inquiringly.
Wen Yu nodded. Her mother had indeed called yesterday, asking if she wanted to come home for the New Year. Because Lin Tingfeng had given her hundreds of thousands of yuan in betrothal gifts, the family no longer had to worry about the mortgage. The old woman had been living a very comfortable life for the past six months, and they had also bought some new furniture, such as a cot. If Ye Wen Yu came home for the New Year, she could sleep on the cot in the living room.
Ye Wenyu just smiled and said that she hadn't started her holiday yet and would decide whether to go back to her mother's house for the New Year after she started her holiday. In fact, after hearing that she was going to sleep in the living room, she no longer wanted to go back to her mother's house for the New Year.
She's in her mid-twenties, how can she sleep in the living room? In the middle of the night, if her stepfather and two younger brothers who aren't related by blood need to use the bathroom, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Although everyone is supposed to go home for the New Year, she didn't want to go back to her mother's house. As for her father's house, ever since she used Lin Tingfeng's money to humiliate her father and stepmother a few times, the old man has been short of money lately or something, so he hasn't bothered her anymore. Because of the previous holidays, she naturally didn't want to go back to her father's house for the holidays either.
Home? Where is her home? The house Lin Tingfeng bought for her is her home!
She wanted to spend the New Year with him, but then she thought about the complicated situation of the Lin family—
During the Spring Festival, such a grand and important holiday, he certainly wouldn't have time to spend with her. She knew this and decided not to bring it up.
She said considerately, "I haven't decided yet. You can go wherever you want to spend the New Year. Don't worry about me. I used to be able to spend the New Year alone in the girls' dormitory. The conditions now are much better than a year ago. I'm very content."
She smiled gratefully at him. Her understanding manner touched Lin Tingfeng's heart. He nodded and said nothing more.
A high-level group meeting was held that afternoon, and Ye Wenyu attended with Linda. It was her first time taking meeting minutes, and she seemed busy and nervous. Fortunately, she had consulted Linda beforehand, so she managed to pass. After the meeting, Linda saw her minutes; the handwriting was neat, the key points were noted in detail, and unnecessary parts were glossed over. It was better than her previous minutes, and Linda was very satisfied. She then showered Ye Wenyu with praise in front of Lin Tingfeng.
Lin Tingfeng was naturally very happy.
I worked as the team leader of the secretariat for a few days, and before I knew it, it was Lunar New Year's Eve. The group will be closed for the holidays tomorrow, and many employees have already bought high-speed rail tickets and plane tickets to travel thousands of miles back to their hometowns for the New Year.
For Chinese people, the Spring Festival is the festival with the strongest sense of ritual.
Ye Wenyu's mother called to ask if she wanted to come back for the New Year, but she declined, saying she had to work overtime. She really didn't want to make herself uncomfortable in her mother's cramped home or cause trouble for her mother and stepfather's family. She had already decided to spend the New Year alone in the house that Lin Tingfeng bought for her.
Although it was quiet and deserted, she was content because it was spacious and comfortable. As long as a person has a home, they are not the most pitiful. She was satisfied and would go to buy some couplets and other New Year's goods after get off work to enhance the festive atmosphere.
This is the last high-level meeting. After this meeting, everyone will go home and celebrate the New Year with their families.
The group's vice president adjourned the meeting, and Ye Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief. She was tidying up her meeting notes when Lin Tingfeng suddenly said to her gently, "Let's go on a business trip together tomorrow—"
Business trip? Chinese New Year's Day?
Ye Wenyu wondered if she had misheard. She looked at Lin Tingfeng, who was smiling at her with a loving expression, oblivious to everyone else.
"Oh dear, boss, can you please be mindful of your behavior?" Ye Wenyu immediately blushed, looking around nervously like a little mouse caught in the street.
This is a conference room!
The other high-ranking executives were already eager to return home and left in twos and threes. Soon, the huge conference room was left with only the two of them, like a silent valley.
Snow is falling heavily outside, and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger.
Ye Wenyu stammered, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Aren't you going to spend time with your family?"
It's unbelievable.
She was incredibly nervous, filled with anticipation on one hand, and telling herself not to have any hope on the other, because if she didn't have any hope, she wouldn't be disappointed.
Lin Tingfeng nodded and said slowly to her, "It's already very good that we stayed up with them to celebrate the New Year and had the New Year's Eve dinner. I'll spend the rest of my time with you. I've already asked Linda to book a plane ticket for tomorrow noon. Let's go on vacation to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand." He winked at her playfully, his eyes filled with a gentle light.
"Really?" Ye Wenyu was pleasantly surprised, a warm feeling washing over her. She had thought that he cared about her, but wouldn't make time for her during the Spring Festival, a time of family reunion. Unexpectedly, he not only accompanied her, but also took her on a trip abroad.
Happiness came so quickly that her heart pounded uncontrollably. Like a happy little bird, she twirled around joyfully in the conference room.
Lin Tingfeng smiled and nodded.
Ye Wenyu was deeply moved. Forgetting whether this was the company's conference room, whether there were surveillance cameras everywhere, or whether colleagues were walking outside, she walked up to Lin Tingfeng, hugged him, and, with tears in her eyes, choked out, "I know you were worried about me spending the New Year alone, afraid I'd be lonely, right? Thank you, Tingfeng. I love you. In this world, the one I love is you!"
Lin Tingfeng was stunned, feeling as if his entire body had turned into a water pipe, filled with tears of emotion.
This was the first time this girl had so openly and honestly said she loved him: "I love you. In this world, the person I love is you!" He would never forget those words.
Lin Tingfeng was deeply moved as he thought about it. He hugged Ye Wenyu tightly, kissed her hair, and said gently, "The main reason is that I prefer to be with you since I rarely get a few days off."
He gazed at her and smiled gently.
