A woman suddenly sat down opposite him, and Zeng simply nodded silently in response to her conversation.
His attention was completely drawn to his friend's table, and he listened carefully to the sounds coming from there.
They seemed to be talking about nothing unusual, except that he heard Liang Nanxing say that he was going to take the child to the amusement park.
It seems her name is Xiaoxi?
The man's usually indifferent expression turned to shock. Had he really fallen for a woman with a child?
Zeng also knew Liang Nanxing's social circle very well, and he was sure that this woman had never appeared before.
That means they could only have met in the last few days.
Xiao Wanqing was ordering food and was just about to look up to ask Zeng Ye what he liked when she noticed him lost in thought.
"What do you like to eat?" Xiao Wanqing waved her hand in front of Zeng Ye's eyes and said with a smile, "Were you spacing out just now?"
Xiao Wanqing thought she was pretty, but she didn't expect that when she sat down in front of the man, he hadn't even looked at her closely.
Zeng also came to her senses and nodded slightly, "Whatever."
He didn't really want to say anything, nor did he have anything to say; the woman in front of him was far less significant than the commotion his friend was causing.
Zeng Ye's words made Xiao Wanqing realize something.
To be honest, Zeng Ye's appearance is considered outstanding in their circle. His cool face and overall temperament make him very attractive.
Not to mention, his reputation for being celibate in recent years puts him far ahead of those wealthy young men who indulge in debauchery.
People of their status often choose to marry for the sake of their families, and Xiao Wanqing was no exception.
However, even though it was an arranged marriage, she planned to choose someone she liked, and in her opinion, Zeng was quite good.
She had certainly heard about Zeng Ye's first love story, after all, it caused quite a stir at the time and many people were talking about it.
But being devoted is a good thing; it makes one more loyal and affectionate. If I marry her in the future, even without love, I won't look for someone else. Besides, she has confidence in herself.
Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly; she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Auntie said you have things to do this afternoon. May I come to your company?"
After saying this, the woman looked at Zeng Ye with eyes full of expectation.
"I'm busy with work and don't have time to show you around."
Zeng Ye clearly didn't know how to be tactful, and his blunt words made Xiao Wanqing feel somewhat embarrassed.
"I'll just sit here and watch; I won't bother you."
"Besides, my aunt said I just returned to the country and wanted you to take me to other places to visit. I just want to go to your company, so it won't take up too much of your time."
Xiao Wanqing had already brought up Zeng Ye's mother, and sure enough, upon hearing this, Zeng Ye paused in his refusal, which he was about to utter.
He suddenly remembered that he had promised his mother he would come to see her.
"Okay." Zeng lowered his eyelashes, his gaze falling on the table.
While the two began their meal, Liang Nanxing, who was nearby, was extremely restless.
He breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, because Zeng Ye hadn't asked about the photo from the early morning, and he thought Zeng Ye had found out about it.
Not long after returning to my seat, I vaguely heard Zeng Ye's voice.
At first, Liang Nanxing thought it was just a hallucination caused by his excessive worry, but later he found it becoming clearer and clearer.
The person talking to Zeng was a woman.
Liang Nanxing almost instantly thought of Zeng Yao's blind date. Could it be such a coincidence?
He only wanted to take Liuyin out for a meal today, and he never expected to run into Zengye.
However, the sight of Zeng Ye on a blind date made Liang Nanxing feel somewhat at ease.
The man hesitated about whether to take out the ring from his pocket. He really wanted to settle things quickly, but he didn't know what Liuyin was thinking.
What if I just see him as a friend?
However, Liang Nanxing soon no longer needed to worry about it.
Xize noticed the box in his pocket and poked it gently with his little finger. "Uncle, what's this?"
"What is it?" Liuyin asked, turning her gaze to the direction her son was asking.
Under the curious gazes of two pairs of eyes, Liang Nanxing's face began to turn red at a visible speed.
Seeing the man's hesitant posture, Liuyin became even more curious, "Is it something that I can't see?"
"No," Liang Nanxing hurriedly explained, "You can see it."
Xize covered his mouth and chuckled secretly, "Uncle, my mom and I both want to see it."
Although the meeting was brief, Xize had a very good impression of Liang Nanxing.
Under the expectant gazes of the two, Liang Nanxing placed an exquisite box on the table.
Inside the box was a ring, designed by him a long time ago, with countless tiny diamonds surrounding a pink diamond, presenting a scene of being surrounded by stars.
The inspiration for his design of this ring did indeed come from Liuyin, who was the birthday gift he wanted to give her back then.
However, just before he was about to give it away, he changed it to a bracelet.
"Is this for me?" Liuyin asked, looking at the ring on the table.
Liang Nanxing lowered his head, seemingly afraid to look at her. "Yes, it's for you."
The man felt his heart pounding rapidly, and a sense of unease washed over him.
This is just a gift, nothing more, Liang Nanxing comforted himself.
"Why don't you put it on for me?" Liu Yin chuckled. "I really like it."
The meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Liang Nanxing looked up in surprise, his hand trembling slightly as he slipped the ring onto Liu Yin's finger.
He never imagined that things would go so smoothly!
