Chapter 156 Love rivals are extremely jealous when they meet
In the capital city of March, the night was still a bit chilly like early spring. Ye Wanqing was wearing Lin Xuan's slightly loose clothes. Despite this, whenever the breeze blew, her legs could still feel a subtle chill.
Her gaze unconsciously slid towards Lin Xuan. His exposed arms looked particularly strong in the night. His face was covered with the same indifferent smile as usual, as if he was completely unaware of the coldness around him.
While his thoughts were wandering, the two of them had already reached the front of the car. Lin Xuan gently opened the passenger door and said softly, "Please, Miss Ye."
A gust of night wind blew past again. Ye Wanqing didn't say much, but got into the car silently.
Lin Xuan quickly fastened his seat belt, looked sideways at her to confirm that she was ready, then started the engine and the car slowly drove away.
At this time, the square was still bustling with people, and the wind in the night seemed even more wanton. Lin Xuan thoughtfully suggested: "You should stay in the car. There is a convenience store not far ahead."
Ye Wanqing gently took off her coat and handed it back to Lin Xuan: "You'd better put it on, otherwise you will catch a cold and get a headache."
Lin Xuan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes. He took the clothes and put them on again, unbuckled his seat belt, and walked into the night.
Ye Wanqing stared at Lin Xuan's back as he walked towards the convenience store through the car window, thinking to herself that Lin Xuan seemed to be unusually delicate and gentle tonight.
Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting her reverie. Ye Wanqing retracted her gaze and glanced at the screen. It was a call notification from Zhao Jinyu.
"Brother Jinyu, good evening." There was a subtle hint of alienation in her voice.
"Wanqing, are you satisfied with dinner?" Zhao Jinyu's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I've already had my meal." Ye Wanqing responded softly, secretly guessing the real intention of Zhao Jinyu's call.
"That's good. I recently got a jar of the best Longjing tea. Since you love tea, I wanted to give it to you personally. But it seems that I came at the wrong time." There was a hint of regret in Zhao Jinyu's words.
"I happened to be out for a walk and wanted to buy some small things." Ye Wanqing made up an excuse.
"Then I'll wait nearby, maybe I can meet you by chance?" There was a subtle expectation in Zhao Jinyu's words.
Ye Wanqing's heart tightened slightly. She didn't want Lin Xuan and Zhao Jinyu to meet at this moment, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Brother Jinyu, why don't we do it another day? I may be home late tonight." There was a hint of apology in her tone.
Zhao Jinyu seemed to sense her embarrassment and chuckled, "Well, then I'll put this tea under your door. I can't let it follow me all alone."
"I'm so sorry, thank you, Brother Jinyu." Ye Wanqing's words were filled with a hint of apology and gratitude.
"It's okay, go enjoy your night." There was a hint of relief in Zhao Jinyu's voice.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan returned with a bag of plums in his hand. He gently opened the driver's door and handed the plums to Ye Wanqing.
"Thank you." Ye Wanqing took the plum, gently tore open the package with her fingertips, took out one and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste slowly melted on the tip of her tongue, and it seemed that the subtle emotions in her heart were also melted away.
The sour taste of the plum suddenly bloomed on Ye Wanqing's tongue, followed by a subtle salty fragrance, which gradually diluted the bitter taste of the medicine remaining in her mouth, and the uncomfortable feeling of nausea also quietly dissipated.
She raised her eyes slightly and caught Lin Xuan's deep gaze quietly falling on her.
Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip lightly and handed the bag of plums in Lin Xuan's direction. There was a hint of subtle tenderness in her voice: "Would you like to try it?"
Lin Xuan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is it still bitter?"
She shook her head gently, her eyes sparkling with gratitude: "Much better."
"That's good." He responded lightly, and withdrew his gaze. He restarted the car and turned around steadily to drive back.
Twenty minutes later, a silver-gray Bentley and a black Rolls-Royce passed each other in a narrow street, leaving behind a fleeting interlaced light and shadow.
The Bentley slowly stopped in front of the villa. Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Ye Wanqing: "How do you feel now? Do you still feel like vomiting?"
Ye Wanqing had just unbuckled her seatbelt when she heard Lin Xuan's words. She looked up at him with gratitude in her eyes: "It's okay now."
As she spoke, she tightened the bag of plums in her hand and pushed open the car door. A gust of cold wind instantly rushed into the car, causing her to unconsciously shrink her shoulders.
"I'm going in, you should go back early too."
Lin Xuan nodded gently, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance: "Okay, be careful."
After Ye Wanqing got out of the car, she trotted into the gate of the villa and disappeared into the warm light. Lin Xuan watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance until she completely disappeared, then he slowly reversed and drove out of the villa area.
As the car turned the corner, Lin Xuan spotted a Rolls-Royce parked not far ahead. Beside the car, a familiar figure stood quietly, standing tall and proud under the streetlight. It was Zhao Jinyu.
Lin Xuan's dark eyes sank slightly. He slowly stopped the car and got out: "Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence."
Zhao Jinyu turned around with a half-smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Lin, long time no see."
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Xuan's tone was wary.
"It's nothing actually. I just wanted to say hello to Mr. Lin." Zhao Jinyu smiled calmly.
Lin Xuan looked straight at him, his eyes sharp: "You want to ask about me and Ye Wanqing?"
Zhao Jinyu's smile faded a bit, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes: "Boss Lin is really straightforward."
"Are you planning to pursue Ye Wanqing?" There was a subtle hint of hostility in Lin Xuan's tone.
Zhao Jinyu smiled slightly and did not deny: "A beautiful lady...a gentleman's dream is to marry her."
Lin Xuan thought of the rumors about Zhao Jinyu's past and felt a little unhappy: "Ye Wanqing is different from other women you know."
Zhao Jinyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Then what does Mr. Lin think is different about her?"
Lin Xuan sneered: "I don't know what Mr. Zhao's private life is like, but I know that Ye Wanqing is not suitable for you."
Zhao Jinyu's eyes glared. "Then, Mr. Lin, who do you think is suitable for Ye Wanqing?"
He sneered, his tone provocative: "Could it be you, Mr. Lin?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of hostility and unwillingness.
The night breeze blew, and the two people's hair fluttered in the wind, as if telling the story of this silent contest.
After a moment, Lin Xuan's dark eyes moved, and there was a subtle seriousness in his tone: "How much do you know about Ye Wanqing?"
Zhao Jinyu's expression changed slightly, as if he realized something: "You...you know too?"
Both of them are smart people, and some things don't need to be said explicitly. The tacit understanding between them makes the atmosphere more subtle.
"She has experienced too much and can't bear any emotional hurt." Lin Xuan's tone was somewhat deep.
"So, you think it's the best choice for her to be with you?" Zhao Jinyu retorted.
Lin Xuan's face darkened slightly, and he stopped being polite: "Or do you think that your rich and colorful emotional experience can bring her happiness?"
When Zhao Jinyu mentioned his relationship experience, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "In my opinion, leaving her is the best choice for her."
After saying this, he turned and returned to his car, leaving behind a shadow. Lin Xuan stood there, his eyes deep and complex, as if he had made an important decision in his heart.
