Lin Qinghuan watched the waiter leave quickly, feeling embarrassed. She and Dong Wenbo had only met a few times. How could the waiter have seen that she and Dong Wenbo were acting intimately?
Looking at Lin Qinghuan's blushing face, as beautiful as a spring flower, Dong Wenbo's eyes flashed with amazement. Her face was as red as the sunset, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water. Lin Qinghuan was truly beautiful.
Dong Wenbo had to admire Wei Xiao's good judgment.
Wei Hong discreetly observed Dong Wenbo's expression. Could it be that Dong Wenbo has fallen for Lin Qinghuan?
That shouldn't be! Dong Wenbo is Wei Xiao's good friend. He should know that one shouldn't covet a friend's wife. But seeing Dong Wenbo always finding topics to talk about with Lin Qinghuan, and the light in his eyes when he looks at Lin Qinghuan, I'm even more certain that Dong Wenbo has fallen for Lin Qinghuan. Dong Wenbo might not even have realized it himself.
Dong Wenbo and Lin Qinghuan chatted about the house renovation and the happy things they encountered in their daily lives. The two had a very pleasant conversation. After the waiter served the dishes, Dong Wenbo warmly and politely invited Lin Qinghuan to eat. His attitude was very good, and the meal was a pleasant one for both the host and the guests.
After finishing their meal, Lin Qinghuan exchanged a few pleasantries with Dong Wenbo before getting up to leave. Dong Wenbo escorted Lin Qinghuan and Wei Hong to the restaurant entrance, then hailed a taxi. Lin Qinghuan said, "Qinghuan, contact me if you need anything."
"Okay," Lin Qinghuan replied sweetly, "I'll call you when I have time and invite you to dinner. Have the contract ready, and we can sign it while we're at it."
"Okay! I'll wait for your call. Don't keep me waiting too long," Dong Wenbo said with a smile.
"I won't keep you waiting too long," Lin Qinghuan said.
Lin Qinghuan and Wei Hong got into the car. Lin Qinghuan rolled down the window, waved to Dong Wenbo, and said goodbye.
Dong Wenbo watched the taxi drive away until it was out of sight before turning his gaze away.
Zhang Zheyu, holding his car keys, saw Dong Wenbo standing at the restaurant entrance, seemingly engrossed in something. Zhang Zheyu approached Dong Wenbo without him noticing, and a hint of surprise flashed in Dong Wenbo's eyes. What was this kid looking at so intently? Following Dong Wenbo's gaze, Zhang Zheyu didn't see anything unusual.
Zhang Zheyu slapped Dong Wenbo on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Wenbo, what are you looking at so intently?"
Dong Wenbo withdrew his gaze and said somewhat awkwardly, "I wasn't looking at anything."
Zhang Zheyu was somewhat skeptical of Dong Wenbo's words, and stroked his chin with a suspicious look. "The way you looked just now, it was as if something was attracting your attention and you couldn't bear to look away."
At this point, Zhang Zheyu had a sudden inspiration and said with a smile, "The way you looked just now was like watching the departing figure of a loved one, reluctant to let her go."
Dong Wenbo's heart tightened suddenly, his expression became inscrutable, and he said with a somewhat evasive look, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any girlfriend."
"Wenbo, your expression betrayed you. The way you looked just now, it was like you were lying. Could it be that you really do have a girlfriend?" Zhang Zheyu sighed. "You and Wei Xiao both have girlfriends, leaving me all alone."
Dong Wenbo was feeling somewhat depressed and irritable. "You're overthinking it. Right now, I just want to focus on my career and don't want to get involved in romantic relationships." With that, he walked straight into the restaurant.
Zhang Zheyu pinched his chin, watching Dong Wenbo's retreating figure, and muttered to himself, "Why does he look a bit like he's running away in a panic? Could it be that he did something wrong?"
Upon hearing Zhang Zheyu's words, Dong Wenbo's body stiffened slightly, his steps faltered, and his deep eyes darkened as an indescribable emotion welled up within him.
When Lin Qinghuan returned home, she saw Wei Xiao chatting with her grandfather in the living room. Overjoyed, she looked at Wei Xiao with a bright and cheerful expression, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"Wei Xiao, you're back."
Wei Xiao stood up, smiled at Lin Qinghuan, and extended his hand to her.
Lin Qinghuan jogged lightly to Wei Xiao, placed her hand in his, looked up at him, and smiled.
Wei Xiao lowered his eyes to look at Lin Qinghuan, and seeing her smiling face, he couldn't help but smile up his lips, and said softly, "Qinghuan!"
Lin Qinghuan happily grasped Wei Xiao's large, kind hand, shook it gently, and said, "Wei Xiao, you're finally back."
"Yes, I knew Qinghuan missed me, so I rushed back," Wei Xiao said gently.
Lin Qinghuan gave Wei Xiao a playful glare. She thought about him every day, so why didn't he come back every day?
Wei Xiao affectionately ruffled Lin Qinghuan's hair and looked at Grandpa Lin, saying, "Grandpa, I'll take Qinghuan out for a walk."
"Go ahead! You haven't seen each other in a long time, spend more time with Qinghuan," Grandpa Lin said.
Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan, "I bought you a gift, it's at home, do you want to go see it?"
Lin Qinghuan's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, eagerly saying, "Yes, let's go to your house to see the gift right now."
"Grandpa, I'm taking Qinghuan home to see the gifts. I'll play chess with you later," Wei Xiao said politely.
Grandpa Lin nodded with a broad smile and said cheerfully, "I'll be waiting!"
Wei Xiao pulled Lin Qinghuan out of the Lin family home and said guiltily, "Qinghuan, I'm sorry, I was too busy and couldn't spend the New Year with you."
"It's not too late to be with me now," Lin Qinghuan said.
Wei Xiao had heard Grandma Wei mention that when Qing Huan visited and didn't see him, she looked very disappointed, which deepened his guilt. He vowed, "Yes, I will definitely make time to spend with you more."
Having received Wei Xiao's promise, Lin Qinghuan happily tiptoed and kissed him, saying, "You must keep your word and not go back on your word!"
Lin Qinghuan's proactive kiss made Wei Xiao's deep eyes sparkle, and he was enveloped in happiness. He tightened his grip on Lin Qinghuan's hand and said, "I won't go back on my word!"
