Lin Yitang: "I chose it. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Wen Hangxing understood. Yes, if it weren't for her, who would dare to eat barbecue next to the flowers that his father carefully raised! It was really annoying. He wondered what his father's expression would be when he came back.
When Wen Hangxing thought of his father's smiling face with a dagger hidden behind it, his hair stood on end and he felt very uncomfortable all over.
Lin Yitang watched the expression of the person in front of him change several times, but he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" Seeing that the person didn't speak, he thought for a few seconds, understood, and shouted directly to Xiao Zhong: "Get a set of bowls and chopsticks for the young master."
At the end, he gave Wen Hangxing a look that said, "See, I understand you."
Wen Hangxing somehow understood what she meant at once. He covered his forehead weakly and sighed softly.
But since it had come to this, he just let it go, so he sat down without any hesitation. As soon as he sat down, the butler brought two plates of freshly grilled meat and placed them in front of him, "Master, please try it. It's the Wagyu beef that was just flown in from abroad. The meat is so firm and tender."
Wen Hangxing glanced at him with a half-smile, "You really know how to enjoy it. Why don't you stop her?"
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and put the meat down, just as he was about to leave, but was stopped by someone who called out, "Give her a plate of meat."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Master, Madam is not used to the taste."
Wen Hangxing: ??? It seems like I'm just a tool to help finish off the overcooked ingredients. I won't say who's being humble.
But there was no other way. He was in a hurry to get back, and he was also distracted by the forum affairs these days. He hadn't eaten properly for the past few days. He hadn't noticed it when he was busy, but now that he had let go of his worries, he felt the hunger piercing his chest and back.
Lin Yitang watched him eat plate after plate of barbecue with a smile. When he saw that he had almost finished eating, he said, "You are one of us now. We are in the same boat. Don't tell your father about this."
Wen Hangxing choked and coughed for a long time before stopping. He looked at her with shock in his voice: "Did you do this on purpose?!"
Lin Yitang smiled but said nothing.
"No way, you knew you were still having a barbecue in the garden?! Aren't you provoking him?"
"Not really. It was mainly because your expression at the beginning made me feel that something was wrong. Also, when I started to have this plan, except for the housekeeper who supported it, everyone else's eyes seemed a little strange, so I guessed it."
Wen Hangxing quickly turned his gaze to the housekeeper and asked, "Why didn't you stop her?"
The butler gestured for him to calm down. "Master, the master won't blame Madam for this matter. Besides, Madam has been subjected to a lot of criticism these past few days. It's rare for Madam to take the initiative to make a request, so we must do our best to satisfy her."
"Huh?" Wen Hangxing was stunned. "She knows?"
"My husband called a few days ago and said that his wife might be in a bad mood these days and asked us to pay more attention to her."
Wen Hangxing knew the reason for his bad mood without having to think about it. His mood became even heavier. He asked, "How has she been these past few days?"
Housekeeper: "After something like that happens, most people wouldn't be in a good mood, alas."
This "Alas" was very interesting, containing endless regret and sorrow, which made Wen Hangxing shudder three times. Just from the tone, he could imagine how helpless and sad Lin Yitong was at home. He hurriedly walked in her direction, not noticing the housekeeper's subtle smile of success after he turned around.
Lin Yitang was very satisfied with the meal and was lying down to digest it when suddenly a large shadow fell in front of her. She opened her eyes and saw Wen Hangxing standing in front of her with his lips tightly pursed.
Lin Yitang signaled him with his eyes:?
Wen Hangxing hesitated for a moment before speaking hesitantly: "Let me tell you something..."
Lin Yitang knew from his hesitant expression why he came back, but did not interrupt him. Instead, he listened carefully to the end of his words.
Wen Hangxing was a little nervous at first, but later on, perhaps because he had given up, he became more and more relaxed. "Anyway, this is what happened. I didn't deal with it at the beginning because I wanted to find the person who uploaded the photos. I didn't expect it to develop like this and cause you so much criticism. I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and stood silently in front of Lin Yitong like a stiff statue, as if waiting for the final verdict.
Lin Yitang smiled, not a mocking smile, nor a blaming smile, but rather a bright and warm smile. She said softly, "I forgive you."
Wen Hangxing suddenly met her gaze, his eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise.
Lin Yitang looked at his expression as if he was the silly son of a landlord, and recalled the system's evaluation of Wen Hangxing. Why did he inexplicably feel that he had a kind of contrasting cuteness?
Wen Hangxing: "Aren't you angry?"
Lin Yitang: "Of course I was angry, at least at first. After all, my privacy was exposed for no reason and I was subjected to so much abuse. But then I thought, these are just irrelevant people anyway. Time flies in the internet age. Maybe after a while, this matter will die down and won't have much impact on my daily life."
Wen Hangxing felt bitter in her heart. She was the rightful mistress of the Wen family and had always been respected. But now, because of him, she was being insulted. She could only swallow her pride and not argue with others.
Thinking of this, Wen Hangxing's eyes turned cold. He would never let go of anyone who insulted her.
Lin Yitang knew from his expression that he didn't believe what he had just said. Fearing that he was getting too hung up on something, he said, "Well, to be honest, I'm not that great. The day I found out about this, your father wired me five million as compensation for my emotional distress. By the way, if you don't come back and apologize to me today, I'll still be a little angry. I hold grudges very well, and I'm not one to be trifled with."
Wen Hangxing was shocked, thinking that she was comforting him, and then he remembered what she had just said about his father remitting five million, and he felt a little resentful towards his father: it would be fine if he treated him like this since he was a child, and would rather appease people with money than personally call to comfort them, so why did he treat her like this too?
The naive Wen Hangxing has now ignored the fact that he was at a disadvantage in their previous confrontation, and completely regards Lin Yitong as a weak and pampered wife. Therefore, the huge sense of guilt at this moment overwhelms him like a tide.
If Lin Yitang had the ability to read minds and knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would probably doubt his IQ. God knows how happy he was when he received the five million. That day, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, even smiling when he slept. His face was stiff after a day.
Wen Hangxing looked at her and announced solemnly: "If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me."
"Are you trying to vent my anger?" Lin Yitang raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." A young but firm voice responded.
Lin Yitang was caught off guard by his straightforward kindness and smiled: "Okay, you have to keep your word."
