Wen Hangxing sat at the dining table, looking at the girl sitting opposite him with a cold and handsome face, as if someone owed him a huge favor. Qian Yuanyuan was so scared that she didn't dare to raise her head.
Lin Yitang looked at him with an arrogant look and coughed heavily. Wen Hangxing shuddered and reluctantly restrained his aura.
Qian Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. She could finally breathe. It was so scary just now.
Lin Yitang noticed that she was a little uncomfortable and spoke to comfort her: "Yuanyuan, are you used to it yet? If you have anything, just tell me, or you can tell Uncle Liu."
Qian Yuanyuan smiled at her gratefully: "Thank you, sister. The housekeeper has made very detailed arrangements. I don't have any needs for the time being."
Wen Hangxing couldn't stand the deep affection between the two. A surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart. He stared at Qian Yuanyuan with his dark eyes, "What's your name?"
Qian Yuanyuan's face froze. She felt as if she was being stared at by a large beast. Her scalp tingled, and every cell in her body was screaming danger. "My name...my name is Qian Yuanyuan."
"Don't you have a home?" Wen Hangxing frowned, as if he was really confused, his eyes were so pure that there was not a trace of impurities.
Qian Yuanyuan couldn't answer. She looked at Lin Yitang with a look of help, but was interrupted by Wen Hangxing: "I'm asking you, why are you looking at her?"
Lin Yitang listened to Wen Hangxing's impolite words, frowned slightly, and warned: "Wen Hangxing, stop it!"
Wen Hangxing held his neck stiff and didn't move.
Qian Yuanyuan whispered: "Actually, I have some reasons and can't go home for the time being."
Wen Hangxing got to the bottom of it: "What's the reason?"
Qian Yuanyuan stammered, unable to speak. What else could she say? She had broken up with her family because of Sun Nanyi, and had never been home. Even she herself found such words ridiculous.
Wen Hangxing was waiting for her answer when he suddenly felt a pain in his ear. Lin Yitang was standing beside him, twisting his ear. "Go upstairs and reflect for half an hour, then come down to eat later."
Wen Hangxing looked defiant, "Why should I leave? It's obviously her turn to leave."
"Let's talk about this later. You go up first." Lin Yitang sighed. She had to understand the reason for Wen Hangxing's sudden outburst.
Wen Hangxing seemed to have suddenly entered a rebellious phase, sitting motionless in the chair.
Lin Yitang looked at him and thought, little guy, this can't cure you. She turned around and shouted: "Wen Zeli, get your son up there, quickly!"
Wen Zeli had been nonchalant since just now. It wasn't until he heard Lin Yitang calling him that he put down his cutlery. He looked up at Lin Yitang and said innocently, "He never listens to what I say."
Lin Yitang felt the blood vessels in her temples throbbing crazily. She squeezed out a few words, "One request."
Wen Zeli wanted to push further, adhering to the principle that more is better, but after taking a look at her face, he reluctantly nodded and said in a tone of "I really can't do anything about you": "Okay, Tangtang, don't regret it."
He picked up his phone and made a call. Within two minutes, four burly, muscular bodyguards appeared. Wen Zeli raised his chin towards Wen Hangxing and said, "Take him upstairs."
"Yes." The four bodyguards restrained Wen Hangxing without changing their expressions, and then ignored his strength and half-dragged and half-pulled him upstairs.
Lin Yitang smiled at Qian Yuanyuan, who looked unhappy, and said, "I'm sorry, Yuanyuan. Let's continue eating. He's not usually like this. I'll talk to him later."
Qian Yuanyuan nodded blankly and ate a few mouthfuls of rice without any taste, as if she could hardly eat.
Lin Yitang also found it a little hard to swallow. She pushed away the dishes and said, "I'll go upstairs to check on him. You guys continue."
Only Wen Zeli and Qian Yuanyuan were left at the table. Qian Yuanyuan secretly glanced at Wen Zeli who was sitting next to the host seat and felt extremely nervous, even more uncomfortable than when she was harassed by Wen Hangxing just now.
Lin Yitang left. Wen Zeli wiped his mouth with a handkerchief with a somewhat dejected look, folded his hands together, leaned lazily on the chair at the back, and raised his eyes to meet Qian Yuanyuan's gaze.
Qian Yuanyuan felt as if she was scalded. She instantly looked away and lowered her head, but her heart was beating so violently that it felt like it was going to jump out of her body in the next second.
"Miss Qian, I heard your mother is ill. Your father has been looking for you recently. Is it really appropriate for you not to go back?"
Qian Yuanyuan raised her head instantly, her face filled with shock, and for a moment she no longer cared about being afraid. "What did you say?!" Then she shook her head. "This is impossible. My mother has always been in good health. Are you lying to me?" There was expectation and hope in her voice.
The edges of Wen Zeli's pupils were covered with a layer of light due to the refraction of light, which did not look like human eyes at all. "Since Miss Qian thinks that I am lying, then so be it. I just feel it's a pity." Wen Zeli shook his head slightly, looking regretful.
"What a pity?" Qian Yuanyuan asked subconsciously, but she regretted it the next second, and only heard Wen Zeli say.
"It's a pity that a couple of parents raised their daughter with great pampering, but she gave up everything for a man who didn't love her." Wen Zeli's tone was gentle, but his words were full of compassion, which made Qian Yuanyuan shudder.
Qian Yuanyuan's eyes widened. "You investigated me!"
Wen Zeli's smile faded. "My wife is kind and innocent by nature. Since I took pity on you and brought you into the manor, as your husband, I naturally have to investigate your background and make sure she isn't bullied." Wen Zeli paused, then suddenly smiled again, speaking bluntly, "Everyone in the circle knows that Mr. Qian's beloved daughter is trying to commit suicide for a man. Miss Qian doesn't think this is a secret, does she?"
Qian Yuanyuan looked at him with a handsome face, but his words were so sharp and ruthless. Coupled with what he just said, Qian Yuanyuan felt panicked and suddenly questioned her decision. Was what she thought was brave pursuit of love really brave or stupid?
Seeing her shaky expression, Wen Zeli knew she was wavering, so he switched to his usual gentle and persuasive tone, "I don't think there's any overnight hatred between parents and children. I also know Miss Qian might not believe me. So, why don't you go back and find out what's going on? It would be best if your mother is okay. It's been three years since Miss Qian left home. Perhaps Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian are willing to have a good talk with you."
It had to be said that Wen Zeli was indeed very good at stirring people's hearts. At least his words instantly touched Qian Yuanyuan's heart, and his expression had regained the gentle and steady temperament of an elder, which made people inexplicably convinced. Qian Yuanyuan completely forgot the aggressiveness that Wen Zeli had just displayed. She looked grateful and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen. I wonder if you can only bother me tonight. I will go home tomorrow."
Wen Zeli realized that he had achieved his goal and didn't care about the time of day. His expression softened, as if he was thinking about her. "Of course, I'll ask my driver to take you back tomorrow morning."
Qian Yuanyuan felt even more grateful, and said with an overwhelmed expression, "Boss Wen is truly kind-hearted. He and Sister Yitang are a perfect match."
The more Wen Zeli looked at her, the more he liked her and felt that she was quite sensible of the times.
