"you……"
The moment she looked at the man, Li Ruo froze: "You really came..."
It's only been five minutes since the phone call, and this man has already appeared in front of her.
Wen Huaiyan didn't say anything, but walked over coldly, then draped his coat over her shoulders, his tone slightly angry: "Get in the car!"
Alone in the middle of the night, exposed to the cold wind, Li Ruo's mood was already not good.
Hearing that, she felt even more aggrieved and subconsciously said, "Fine, I'll go! Why are you yelling at me? It's not like I begged you to come."
Wen Huaiyan wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Ruo's disappointed face under her messy hair, his gaze faltered slightly, and his tone softened unconsciously: "That's not what I meant. I meant that if you encounter this situation next time, you can call me directly."
He always spoke concisely, and this was the first time Li Ruo had ever seen him speak at such a long length. Stunned, she suddenly widened her eyes, her red lips moved as if she wanted to say something.
"But……"
However, this warm atmosphere didn't last long, and the man quickly regained his composure: "Get in the car!"
Those two short words swept away all of Li Ruo's emotions.
Her smile froze slightly, but she ultimately followed him in defeat.
...
The next day, Wen Huaiyan's phone rang early in the morning.
He noticed the woman beside him who seemed uneasy about the sudden commotion.
Wen Huaiyan suddenly opened his eyes, first turning the volume down to the minimum, then looking down at Li Ruo who was still fast asleep, his thin lips curving into a slight smile.
But when he looked at his phone screen, his expression turned cold.
"What's up?"
Grandpa Wen's voice was clearly annoyed: "What are you doing? Why haven't you answered the phone for so long?"
Although the old man is old, he still has a strong voice.
Hearing the deafening noise from the other end, Wen Huaiyan rolled out of bed, his tone slightly cold: "It's nothing, just get to the point."
Knowing his temperament, Old Master Wen didn't press further and directly ordered, "Come back right now, I have something important to tell you."
He was extremely domineering. Although he spoke in a tone of negotiation, he hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, giving Wen Huaiyan no chance to refuse.
Hearing the busy signal from the other end, Wen Huaiyan frowned, but resigned himself to changing his clothes.
At Wen Zhi's birthday party, he hit Lin Kangle because of Li Ruo, although the old man did not hold him accountable.
But Wen Huaiyan knew that this matter was not over yet...
Having made up his mind, he quickly returned to the Wen family's old residence.
But as soon as I entered the hall, I saw Old Master Wen holding his photo and talking to a woman.
Upon seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's face immediately darkened; the old man was lying to him again.
She always tricked him into coming back for a blind date by saying she had something important to do.
After all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, and I didn't expect him to still be so persistent.
In a fit of anger, Wen Huaiyan turned around and prepared to leave.
But after taking only two steps, Old Master Wen caught up with him and stopped him: "Huaiyan, what are you doing? You're already back, how can you leave without even saying goodbye? Don't you see we have guests at home?"
Wen Huaiyan's eyes were cold and sharp as he said without any mercy, "That was your guest, what does it have to do with me? When you lied to me, you should have thought about this kind of consequence."
After saying that, he walked past Old Master Wen and headed straight for the door.
Instead of wasting time here, I'd rather spend more time with Li Ruo.
However, since Old Master Wen was determined to make this happen today, he naturally wouldn't let Wen Huaiyan leave easily.
Seeing this, she immediately chased after him, grabbed his arm, and threatened him in a low voice, "Don't forget who helped you deal with what happened a few days ago. You beat up the eldest son of the Lin family in public for a woman. This matter has been widely publicized and has brought shame to the Wen family. Do you want me to lose face again?"
Hearing this, Wen Huaiyan found it somewhat ridiculous: "If I don't go on blind dates as you arrange, it's a disgrace to the Wen family? If that's the case, then the Wen family's reputation is far too thin; they can lose face no matter what they do."
"you……"
If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Old Master Wen would have really wanted to kick Wen Huaiyan a couple of times right now.
However, considering that there were still guests present, he could only take a deep breath and grit his teeth, saying, "You don't want to accept the person I chose for you, is it because of the woman you're hiding?"
His voice was deep and full of disdain as he spoke of it: "But I'm warning you, you can play around with women, but you'd better not make a big deal out of it. You have to maintain the appearances you're expected to have in public!"
But Huaiyan was not about to be threatened. Her face turned cold, and she was about to speak.
But soon, Wen Zhi, who came out of the kitchen, interrupted him: "Brother, what are you and Grandpa talking about? You've been standing at the door for ages without going in."
As if remembering something, she hurried over to the sofa, pulled up the silent woman, and introduced her warmly, "Brother, this is Miss Fu, Fu Zhiqing, also a good friend of mine. She's heard so much about you and wants to meet you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Zhiqing politely extended her hand to Wen Huaiyan and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Wen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
However, in response to her greeting, Wen Huaiyan merely chuckled and made no move to raise his hand.
For a moment, Fu Zhiqing's hand froze in mid-air, and the scene was clearly somewhat awkward.
