Chapter 20
"I'll go cook two bowls of noodles. Call me when someone knocks on the door. I've asked Secretary Lin to bring you some clothes."
"I'll cook it."
"No need, you can sit down!"
“Ah Xin…”
"Reflect on yourself carefully."
"..."
Qin Zhan stared at her indifferent back, his eyes dark and heavy, his heart pounding.
When Wen Xin brought out two simple bowls of egg noodles, she saw him sitting on the sofa with his arms on his thighs, his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought. His aura made the room's heating seem like mere decoration, chilly and oppressive.
Anyone else might have been terrified, but in Wen Xin's eyes, he was covered in a barrage of comments: "Abandoned! So wronged! She's ignoring me! *sobs*"
Especially his ridiculous pink outfit.
Hmm, after watching it a few more times, how come it's so cringeworthy yet somehow kind of cute?
poisonous!
Wen Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hearing her laughter, Qin Zhan tensed up even more. He looked up at her, his pure black eyes filled with caution and unease.
His voice was slightly hoarse, "Ah Xin."
Wen Xin suppressed her smile, walked over and placed the noodles on the table. "Let's eat."
Qin Zhan felt a tightness in his chest. Just as he was about to ask her how to stop being angry, there was a knock on the door.
His thin lips twitched, his eyes darkening. If she hadn't been there, he probably would have picked up the sofa and smashed it over her head.
That blind person is so annoying!
Wen Xin, unaware of his volatile temper, went over to open the door.
"Miss Wen."
Secretary Lin handed her a bag.
"Thank you for making this trip."
Wen Xin thanked him and used her body to block his view, so as not to shatter the dignified image of her childhood sweetheart brother.
Secretary Lin was a smart man; after exchanging a few polite words, he wisely turned and left.
Wen Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief, closed the door, and handed the bag to Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan looked at her silently, then got up and went to the bathroom to change his clothes back.
Seeing him return to his usual impeccably tailored, aloof, and handsome gentlemanly appearance, Wen Xin felt a strange sense of regret.
Wen Xin's eyes twitched slightly, and she quickly packed up the perverted thoughts in her mind and threw them in the trash.
It seems that for a long time to come, she may not be able to look at pink the same way.
I'll put that down jacket and scarf away when I get back.
The two sat facing each other on the ground eating noodles.
The noodles were cooked very simply. After all, I hadn't been back for more than half a month, and the vegetables in the refrigerator were all inedible. All I had were eggs and a few cheap starch sausages.
Wen Xin took a bite of the starchy sausage; it wasn't very tasty, but she didn't complain. She simply looked at the leisurely, elegant man opposite her and couldn't help but say:
"Brother, that's a starch sausage. If you don't like it, then don't eat it."
Qin Zhan looked at her, his eyes deep, and said gently, "There's nothing I can't get used to."
Why can't he eat what she can eat?
I just feel sorry for her!
Wen Xin's pretty face instantly lit up with a smile, like a white plum blossom on a branch, delicate and flawless, yet proudly braving the snow and wind.
Qin Zhan was stunned for a moment.
He had always known that Ah Xin was beautiful, but at this moment he felt that he knew nothing about her beauty.
His eyes burned with intense love.
Wen Xin's cheeks flushed slightly from the heat, and she scolded, "The noodles are all soggy, eat them quickly."
Then she deliberately put all the starch sausages from her bowl into his bowl.
Give him everything that doesn't taste good!
Let's see if he still dares to have such wild thoughts and not take his own body seriously.
Qin Zhan was not angry at all; instead, he chuckled softly, his expression full of doting affection.
Wen Xin: "..."
That man is so annoying!
After dinner, Qin Zhan refused to let her wash the dishes this time, no matter what.
Wen Xin didn't insist any further, but simply continued to tidy up the things in the living room.
When Qin Zhan finished washing the dishes and came out, he heard her on the phone with the landlord, saying that she wanted to terminate the lease.
"Okay, thank you for taking care of me for the past year or so. There are some of my ex-boyfriend's things in the room, so I won't return the deposit. I'll give you my contact information, could you please ask him if he still wants them? If not, you can do whatever you want with them."
After a breakup, most men and women are worse off than strangers. The landlady was very understanding, and Wen Xin was generous too. She gave up the nearly 7,000 yuan deposit for two months without hesitation. What is this little thing?
"Xiao Wen, you're beautiful, have a good temper, and are virtuous. Your boyfriend is always bossing you around and yelling at you. I can't stand it anymore. It's good that you broke up with him. You can find someone who truly loves you."
Even someone as unfamiliar as the landlord knew how badly Li Qingchen treated Wen Xin, which shows how subservient she was in this relationship.
But in the beginning, it was she who ran after Li Qingchen first, which is a confusing matter.
But that's all in the past. After canceling the lease, she and Li Qingchen completely broke off their relationship.
It would be best if they never saw each other again, so she wouldn't have to dwell on the past anymore.
As for genuinely being good to her?
Wen Xin turned to look at the tall, imposing man standing there and smiled.
Qin Zhan: "..."
The thought kept replaying in his mind: ex-boyfriend, Li Qingchen, is a thing of the past. She was determined to cut ties with Li Qingchen completely!
Also, did she look at him and think he was someone she could entrust her life to?
Qin Zhan's Adam's apple bobbed, his fists clenched tightly, his heart pounding, and his love for her surged.
After Wen Xin finished discussing the termination of the lease with the landlord, she hung up the phone. As soon as she turned around, she met his infatuated gaze, which was so fierce that it seemed he was about to pounce on her and devour her.
But Wen Xin knew all too well that this man was just a paper tiger in front of her, completely powerless.
She scoffed, "What are you doing standing there like a doorman?
His eyes flickered, and he strode over, grabbing her arms. His deep, magnetic voice couldn't hide his frantic emotions.
"Are you really going to terminate the lease?" Are you really going to cut ties with Li Qingchen?
Wen Xin frowned coquettishly, "Brother, you're hurting me."
Qin Zhan hurriedly let go of her, looking helplessly at her slender arms. "I'm sorry, does it hurt?"
Wen Xin's eyes sparkled, and she deliberately teased him, "Of course it hurts."
The man panicked even more and immediately carried her to the sofa, intending to roll up her sleeves to check her "injuries".
"No, brother, it itches."
Wen Xin clutched her sleeve, her laughter like the tinkling of silver bells.
“Ah Xin.”
"I was just kidding with you, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhan was not angry at being tricked. Instead, his furrowed brows relaxed completely, and he said gently, "It's good that you're alright."
Wen Xin gazed into his affectionate eyes and smiled sweetly, "Brother, let's go home."
Qin Zhan's pupils contracted slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
