Chapter 202 My Heart is Falling for You
Ye Wanqing blinked gently, and her eyelashes, which were as curled as butterfly wings, trembled slightly.
"Is this movie not to your taste?" she asked softly, with a hint of curiosity and tenderness in her tone.
Lin Xuan turned his head slightly to avoid her inquiring eyes. His stern features did not show any embarrassment after being caught, but instead seemed more calm.
"There's nothing wrong with the movie itself, it's just that I've never been interested in this type of subject matter."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing frowned slightly, obviously having some reservations about his answer.
"Are you really not interested in horror movies? Or do you just not want to watch one with me?"
Lin Xuan gently put down the water cup in his hand, and the sound of the bottom of the cup touching the coffee table was particularly clear in the quiet air.
"My attitude towards horror movies is like my attitude towards many things: I don't love them, nor do I hate them. I just don't feel anything."
When he said this, Ye Wanqing already had the answer in her heart. She smiled slightly and shook her head as if she was a little helpless.
"Since you don't feel like watching movies, then go to bed early. You have a busy day tomorrow."
Lin Xuan did not respond immediately, but looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.
"I heard you like to paint in your spare time, right?"
"Yes, this is my way of relaxing." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, with a hint of pride in her tone.
"In that case, why don't you enjoy it and paint a portrait for me?" There was a hint of playfulness in Lin Xuan's words, as if he was testing her reaction.
Ye Wanqing was slightly startled, then looked up at him. Coincidentally, she caught a glimpse of the subtle smile on his lips. His usually cold black eyes now gleamed with a hint of playfulness.
"I've never modeled for anyone else."
He took the initiative to make such a request, and if Ye Wanqing refused again, it would seem a bit unkind.
She looked down at the empty cup in her hand, secretly calculating the time.
"But it's almost one in the morning," she said softly, a little hesitantly. She knew it would take at least an hour to finish a painting.
"Staying up late occasionally is also a kind of joy in life." Lin Xuan chuckled and stood up from the sofa, as if supporting her decision with actions.
Ye Wanqing looked up at him, and the urge to refuse gradually dissipated. She nodded slightly, agreeing to his request.
The two walked into the studio together. Inside, Ye Wanqing's unfinished watercolor painting of a glass greenhouse was placed on a drawing board.
She painted the sky clear and bright, as if it could shine into people's hearts; and the roses in the greenhouse were delicate and gorgeous, exuding an alluring fragrance.
"This painting is so beautiful." Lin Xuan exclaimed sincerely, his eyes lingering on the painting for a moment.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and changed to a new drawing board. "Thank you for the compliment. Just sit on the chair over there and pose as you like."
"Really casual? Then I have to perform well." Lin Xuan said in an exaggerated manner, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Well, whatever you want." Ye Wanqing responded with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a chair being dragged behind her. She turned around and saw that Lin Xuan had already moved the chair right in front of her.
He sat down on the chair, leaning his back against it easily, his long legs casually crossed. His hands rested on his legs, his eyes fixed on Ye Wanqing, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply into his eyes.
Lin Xuan's posture seemed lazy and uninhibited, completely different from his usual serious and indifferent image.
Ye Wanqing looked at him, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She rarely saw him so relaxed, and as they looked at each other, his dark eyes seemed to soften.
He usually wears a well-tailored suit, and even when he changes into casual clothes, he still looks very formal.
But seeing him sitting so casually at this moment, Ye Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable.
Noticing that her gaze lingered on him for too long, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Is my posture inappropriate?" he asked softly.
Ye Wanqing smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm just not used to you being so relaxed." She said truthfully.
"Really?" he asked back, not expecting her answer.
"Then go ahead and start. I won't disturb you." Lin Xuan said softly, with a hint of tenderness and expectation in his tone.
"Okay," Ye Wanqing replied softly. She took a deep breath, picked up the paintbrush, and began to sketch lightly on the paper.
Her movements were focused and skillful, and she portrayed every detail of Lin Xuan vividly.
Although she had secretly painted Lin Xuan's portrait many times, this was the first time she had painted him so blatantly. She felt nervous and excited, as if she was embarking on an unknown adventure.
She devoted herself to painting with full concentration, and every stroke was filled with her hard work and emotion. It was not until she finally put down her pencil that she realized her wrist was slightly sore from the long work.
"Finally finished."
Lin Xuan stood up upon hearing the voice and walked towards her with steady steps. His eyes fell on the canvas. The painting seemed to be a mirror of him, perfectly capturing his expression and temperament at the moment.
"Can you give me this painting?"
Ye Wanqing was slightly startled. She quickly adjusted her thoughts, raised her head, and met Lin Xuan's deep black eyes. Under the light, her figure was clearly reflected in his pupils, as if two hearts were quietly approaching at this moment.
However, Ye Wanqing subconsciously avoided his gaze and said softly, "Of course, this is just a doodle I made."
After saying that, she yawned unconsciously and sleepiness came over her quietly.
Lin Xuan smiled gently and carefully took down the painting, his eyes full of cherishment.
"Are you tired? Go and rest."
Ye Wanqing glanced at the time and saw that it had quietly slipped past 1:20 a.m. Sleepiness surged over her like a tide, and she yawned several times, her voice tinged with a hint of sweetness.
"It's late, you should go to bed early, good night."
"Good night." Lin Xuan responded softly.
Returning to her bed, Ye Wanqing quickly fell into a deep sleep. This was the sweetest and deepest sleep she had had in recent days. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a glimmer of warmth and light on her face.
When Ye Wanqing woke up, the alarm on her cell phone had already rung, but she couldn't remember when she turned it off.
She sat up suddenly. The sunlight came in through the window. Even with the curtains, it couldn't completely block the warm and bright light.
She picked up her phone and exclaimed when she saw the time.
She actually slept until half past nine! Ye Wanqing suddenly remembered what Lin Xuan mentioned yesterday. This morning they were going to the police station to report the case.
Thinking of this, she quickly got up from the bed and washed up in a hurry.
When she walked downstairs, she heard Lin Xuan's voice on the phone. The voice was low and powerful, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Lin Xuan had changed into a pair of straight trousers and an exquisite shirt. The simple white shirt made him look elegant and abstinent.
Noticing her gaze, Lin Xuan nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Wanqing lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and walked to the bar to get a glass of water.
After Lin Xuan ended the call, he walked over and pointed at the dining table: "Eat breakfast first, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Ye Wanqing turned her head and saw steaming porridge and exquisite dumplings on the dining table, the aroma wafting in the air.
She said a little embarrassedly: "Have you eaten? I'm sorry, I got up late."
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat together." As he said that, he walked to the dining table and sat down with her.
Ye Wanqing took the spoon, feeling guilty. She knew Lin Xuan's identity, and knew his schedule must be very tight. Today was not the weekend, so he must have a lot of things to deal with in the morning.
But she was already late, so she had to act quickly and go to the police station to report the case so that Lin Xuan could return to the company to handle matters earlier.
Thinking of this, she drank her porridge faster unconsciously. Lin Xuan looked at her, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Don't be so anxious, I'm not busy this morning."
She looked up at him, took the tissue he handed her, and said softly, "It's better to go to the police station early. I don't want to waste your time."
"Yeah, I understand." Lin Xuan responded. After drinking his coffee, he sat opposite her and looked at her quietly.
This wasn't the first time Lin Xuan had scrutinized her like this, but Ye Wanqing still felt a little uncomfortable. She reached out to tidy up her scattered hair, trying to make herself look neater.
She finished the last mouthful of porridge and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue: "I'm going upstairs to change clothes, please wait a moment."
"Okay, no rush."
They avoided rush hour and had smooth traffic along the way. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the police station.
Ye Wanqing was already familiar with the reporting process, and she skillfully cooperated with the police to complete all the procedures.
After recording the statement, you have to wait for further action from the police.
She provided two suspects: one was Zhang Duoer and the other was Xu Xinyi. The grudge between the two made the case more complicated.
When walking out of the police station, Ye Wanqing saw Lin Xuan standing under a tree next to the police station answering the phone.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting a golden glow on him. His figure was tall and handsome, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
Ye Wanqing did not go over to disturb him immediately, but walked to the eaves on the side to wait for him to finish his call.
She stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on Lin Xuan, an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.
Lin Xuan listened to Zhao Yu reporting on the project progress on the other end of the phone. His black eyes inadvertently swept across the police car parked in front, and finally fell on Ye Wanqing standing at the door of the police station.
The sun was still bright and warm, shining on her, making her look particularly peaceful, fresh and beautiful in the light.
Lin Xuan's heart stirred, and his fingers tapped lightly on the back of his phone. He lowered his eyes to hide the emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
Before Ye Wanqing looked over, he had already regained his usual composure.
However, the emotion hidden deep in my heart grew wildly like weeds and could not be suppressed.
