As he said this, he deliberately looked at Li Ruo, the provocation in his eyes was self-evident.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Ruo's eyes immediately showed disbelief.
But when he came to his senses, he just silently frowned.
On the contrary, Fu Zhiqing never expected Wen Huaiyan to suddenly agree to her request. She was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up and she excitedly said, "Really, Huaiyan? That's great!"
But the next second, she realized something, so she coughed awkwardly twice and said gently, "Speaking of which, Grandpa Wen invited me to the Wen family for dinner yesterday. I wonder if you will come?"
Her voice was filled with anticipation, and her heart was pounding with nervousness.
After all, the purpose of Grandpa Wen inviting her home for dinner was obvious: to bring the two of them together.
Previously, Wen Huaiyan hated nothing more than Old Master Wen doing these unnecessary things, and had even warned Fu Zhiqing about it.
Therefore, she didn't know if making another request now would annoy Wen Huaiyan.
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan subconsciously glanced at Li Ruo, only to find that the woman's face remained completely expressionless, which instantly ignited a fire within him.
The next second, his eyes darkened, and he said with inexplicable irritation, "I have other things to do..."
But then he suddenly remembered something, his voice abruptly paused, and he said in a low voice, "I have things to do right now. As for going home, we'll talk about it later."
Upon hearing this, the light in Fu Zhiqing's eyes dimmed instantly, and she couldn't help but look somewhat disappointed.
It was rare for Huaiyan to speak to her in such a gentle tone, yet it still stirred a strange sense of anticipation within her.
Perhaps the other person sensed her feelings and was finally moved!
If she can successfully marry into the Wen family, she will never have to live in constant fear again.
Although she was somewhat reluctant, she was afraid that Wen Huaiyan would change his mind because of her nagging.
Fu Zhiqing could only take a deep breath and pretend to be understanding, saying in a low voice, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Remember to get some rest. Good night."
If it weren't for Li Ruo, Wen Huaiyan wouldn't have bothered dealing with Fu Zhiqing at all.
Fortunately, she was sensible and didn't delay for too long.
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Wen Huaiyan didn't even bother to pretend anymore. He simply gave a cold "hmm" and hung up the phone decisively.
But as soon as he came to his senses, he realized that Li Ruo was staring at him intently.
Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "You have something to say?"
Even if he hadn't deliberately tried to understand the other person, they had spent a lot of time together, so he could still tell what was going on.
Li Ruo was slightly taken aback when she didn't expect Wen Huaiyan to speak up first.
Didn't he just ignore me?
After hesitating for two seconds, Li Ruo blinked and asked with some doubt, "What is your relationship with Fu Zhiqing now?"
After all, she knew about the dirty dealings between Fu Zhiqing and Li Zhiqi, so naturally she didn't want Wen Huaiyan to be deceived by that woman.
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan paused slightly, a hint of excitement clearly appearing in his eyes.
But when he came to his senses, he didn't want to make it too obvious, so he said in a cold voice, "What's it to you?"
Unexpectedly, her good intentions were met with misunderstanding. Li Ru frowned and felt a bit annoyed.
She frowned, about to retort, but after smelling the pungent disinfectant odor of the hospital, she felt somewhat guilty.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and reminded her, "That Fu Zhiqing is unreliable. You'd better stay away from her."
This woman is two-faced, and the fact that she can get entangled with a scoundrel like Li Zhiqi shows that she's no saint either.
However, to Wen Huaiyan, Li Ruo's words sounded exactly like she was jealous because of the phone call they had just had.
In an instant, Wen Huaiyan's heart skipped a beat, and a look of astonishment flashed across his originally cold face.
Does she still care about herself?
Noticing Wen Huaiyan's strange gaze, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback and felt a little uncomfortable. She blinked and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um, it seems we haven't paid the medical bills yet. I'll go pay them."
Before the man could even speak, she turned and rushed out.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would feel suffocated by Wen Huaiyan's burning gaze.
However, she really didn't understand why Wen Huaiyan had such a strong reaction when she had only given him a reminder.
Could it be that she's upset because she spoke ill of Fu Zhiqing?
Just then, a familiar voice came from overheard: "Miss Li, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo suddenly raised her head, only to find a tall figure walking towards her.
"Shirakawa?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ruo ran into this young master here so late at night. She was startled and couldn't help but frown subconsciously.
Every time she ran into this guy, she inevitably ended up getting entangled with him.
After a while, she instinctively developed a sense of rejection.
Thinking of this, Li Ru blinked and made up an excuse, "Well, I'm not feeling well, so I came to the hospital to get checked out."
