Chapter 240 How Can I Let You Go
"For you? Then I'll have to think carefully about this generous gift."
Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes. Obviously, she heard the deep meaning of Lin Xuan's words, but deliberately misinterpreted it to tease him.
Lin Xuan looked at her pair of spiritual eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He naturally understood her ridicule, but did not point it out. Instead, he followed her words and said:
"Think it over carefully. After all, this is a property under my name. Not just anyone can live in it."
Ye Wanqing chuckled, her eyes revealing a bit of determination:
"I haven't done anything wrong, why should I hide just because someone else is here? This is my home, and I have the right to decide who can stay and who can't."
She paused slightly, her eyes becoming penetrating. "Besides, I'd also like to know what the purpose of those uninvited guests is."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lin Xuan stopped trying to persuade her and just said softly, "If you want, I can stay here with you until everything calms down."
"Accompany me?" Ye Wanqing raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing. "Where are you planning to stay? The guest room?"
Lin Xuan nodded, as if he felt that this was not enough to express his sincerity, so he added: "If you don't mind, the master bedroom is also fine."
Ye Wanqing's cheeks instantly flushed, and she glanced at him coquettishly: "Of course I mind."
The two chatted in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and time passed by quietly. When the last bite of food was eaten, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
After dinner, Lin Xuan took the initiative to clean up the dishes, putting them in the dishwasher one by one. Ye Wanqing cut half a chilled watermelon, and the two sat on the sofa, enjoying this rare quiet time.
The breeze gently blew the curtains. Ye Wanqing was leisurely eating watermelon. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a shower after dinner? Why aren't you going yet?"
She raised her cell phone and waved it in front of him. The time on the screen showed it was already a quarter past one.
Lin Xuan didn't seem to be in a hurry. He unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, revealing his collarbone and faintly visible pectoral muscles. His movements were elegant and casual.
He took the watermelon handed to him by Ye Wanqing and took a light bite. The faint scent of perfume on his body also drifted away and lingered around Ye Wanqing's nose.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him subconsciously, her eyes lingering on his open collar for a moment before quickly moving away. A blush appeared on her cheeks. "Are you hot? Do you want to turn on the air conditioner?"
"No, I don't feel hot." Lin Xuan responded indifferently.
He ate only one slice of watermelon before picking up a tissue and slowly wiping the water off his hands. Then, he suddenly changed the subject: "Mrs. Lin might have known about our affair last night."
Ye Wanqing was slightly stunned when she heard this: "How did Mrs. Lin know this?"
"Lin Yanrong told her." Lin Xuan's tone was a little helpless.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon regained their brilliance. "If you know, then you know. It's not something shameful. Besides, we're already divorced. Even if we get back together, it will only give people more after-dinner gossip."
After she finished speaking, she ate two more slices of watermelon. When she felt she had had enough, she picked up a tissue and wiped the juice off her hands.
Lin Xuan's eyes were always on her. After a moment, he asked, "Can we make it public?"
Ye Wanqing paused for a moment and turned to look at him: "This... shouldn't be considered public, right? After all, we're not deliberately hiding anything."
"I understand." Lin Xuan nodded, then stood up, "I'm going to take a shower."
As he said that, he walked into the guest room.
After wiping her hands, Ye Wanqing still felt a little sticky, so she got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
She had stayed up late last night working, and even though she woke up late today, her body clock was still disrupted. Now, after a full meal and a full drink, she sat on the sofa, feeling sleepy.
However, she still had to take medicine. Ye Wanqing took the pills from the drawer and swallowed them with water. Then, she picked up the unfinished copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" on the table and continued to immerse herself in the world of books.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's phone suddenly rang. Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment. She thought it was her phone ringing, but she picked it up and found nothing. At this time, she noticed that Lin Xuan's phone was lying quietly on the table.
On the screen, the words "Secretary Zhao" flashed. Was it Zhao Yu? He was calling at this hour, so perhaps something important was going on?
Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up her phone and walked towards the guest bedroom. She knocked on the door gently: "Lin Xuan, your phone."
Maybe the sound of the shower was too loud, so the person inside didn't respond. She knocked on the door again and raised her voice: "Lin Xuan, your phone is ringing."
As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door made a slight sound, and then a breeze mixed with fresh water vapor and the elegant fragrance of shower gel blew across her cheek, and Lin Xuan's figure appeared in front of her wrapped in this breath.
He was wearing a soft white bath towel with a casual knot tied around his waist, revealing a large area of tight skin and faintly visible abdominal muscle lines. Water droplets slowly slid down his angular jaw and dripped onto the floor, making a slight sound.
Ye Wanqing's heart skipped a beat and her cheeks unconsciously turned red.
She hurriedly handed him the phone in her hand, her eyes flickering: "Secretary Zhao called, it might be urgent."
Lin Xuan took the phone, swiped his fingertips across the screen, and called back, but his deep eyes never left Ye Wanqing's face:
"I'll get back to you right away."
Ye Wanqing responded softly, quickly looked away, turned and walked towards the living room, trying to use busyness to cover up her inner panic.
She poured herself a glass of warm honey lemon water and stood in front of the window, savoring the sweet and sour taste while looking out at the quiet night scene outside the window.
A few minutes later, Lin Xuan walked out of the bathroom. He had changed into a clean home outfit and had casually wiped his hair with a dry towel, but there were still a few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead, adding a bit of unruly charm to him.
"The company has an urgent document that requires my electronic signature, so I have to go to the study to deal with it." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of apology.
"Well, go ahead." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, but her eyes followed his figure involuntarily until he disappeared at the door of the study.
She took a sip of the lemonade in her hand, and Lin Xuan's appearance just now involuntarily appeared in her mind, with his wet hair and the faintly visible muscle outline under the slightly open collar... Her cheeks flushed again, and she quickly brought her thoughts back to reality and shifted her attention to the cup in her hand.
After a moment, she decided to do something to distract herself, so she went into the kitchen, cut the remaining watermelon into small pieces, put them in a blender, and squeezed out two glasses of bright red watermelon juice.
When she returned to the living room with two glasses of juice, Lin Xuan had finished his work and walked out of the study.
His hair was already half dry, hanging casually in front of his forehead, adding a bit of casualness and freedom. Ye Wanqing handed him one of the glasses of watermelon juice and said with a smile:
"Try it, I squeezed it fresh."
Lin Xuan took the juice, took a sip, and praised: "Not bad."
Seeing that he liked it, Ye Wanqing felt a small sense of accomplishment in her heart. She glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon:
"Are you going back to the company this afternoon? If not, make up for the drawing you promised to draw for me yesterday."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly, with a cunning glint in his eyes: "Yes, but I will make it up to you tonight."
As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward, walked a few steps to Ye Wanqing, picked her up by the waist, and placed her steadily on the large sofa.
Ye Wanqing exclaimed and instinctively put her arms around his neck. After she sat down steadily, their eyes met in the air, filled with indescribable emotions.
"What bad things do you want to do?" Ye Wanqing pretended to be calm, but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Lin Xuan laughed softly, his voice a little hoarse: "What do you think?"
His eyes were so passionate and affectionate that they seemed to melt her.
Ye Wanqing's cheeks became hot again. She gently turned her head to avoid his kiss and said with a smile: "If you want to paint tonight, you must perform well."
When Lin Xuan heard this, his Adam's apple rolled, and a hint of helplessness and doting flashed in his eyes: "Wanqing, how can I bear to let you go?"
