Chapter 239 The address was leaked
Ye Wanqing walked lightly to the kitchen, took out an exquisite glass from the cupboard, poured him a cup of warm honey water, and handed it to him with a playful look in her eyes:
"Tell me, President Lin, why did you rush here so hastily? Is there something urgent you want to tell me?"
Lin Xuan took the cup and took a sip. The warm sweetness seemed unable to completely conceal the anxiety in his heart:
"Zhao Yu told me that the families of those who caused the trouble actually found your residence."
Ye Wanqing smiled faintly and walked to the window calmly, looking at the garden outside, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "Oh, they did come, kneeling at the door, crying bitterly, begging me to sign a letter of apology and let their families go."
She turned her head and looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "I'll let them contact your lawyer directly to handle it. After all, this is a legal issue, isn't it?"
"They just left like that?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Lin Xuan's voice, as if he was confirming whether she was really safe and sound.
"I didn't even open the door, and they didn't even reach the edge of the garden." Ye Wanqing shrugged, her tone somewhat relaxed. "Since I didn't want to talk, they naturally left tactfully."
Lin Xuan nodded, secretly thanking Ye Wanqing for having enough wisdom and calmness to deal with this emergency.
He knew very well that although this matter was small, he could not let it go easily, especially since Ye Wanqing would obviously not sign the letter of understanding easily.
"Pay compensation? That amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for them." Lin Xuan sneered, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain.
Ye Wanqing obviously didn't take those women to heart. Her attention was more focused on Lin Xuan: "Tell me, Mr. Lin, do you want to have lunch at my place?"
"Do you mind?" Lin Xuan asked back, with some anticipation in his eyes.
Ye Wanqing glanced at him sideways, a smile on her lips: "If you mind, Mr. Lin can come back to the company to have your high-end lunch."
Lin Xuan's black eyes flashed. Although he didn't answer directly, his eyes were enough to explain everything.
At this moment, the doorbell of the villa rang again, breaking the silence in the room.
Lin Xuan's expression instantly became serious. He thought the families of the troublemakers had returned. "I'll go check it out."
"Go ahead, maybe it's your express delivery." Ye Wanqing seemed quite calm, with a faint smile still on her lips.
She secretly guessed that this must be the ingredients she had ordered online.
Sure enough, when Lin Xuan walked to the corner of the garden, he saw a delivery man standing at the door carrying two large bags of food.
"Hello, is this Miss Ye's home? These are the ingredients she ordered on Meituan." The delivery man asked politely.
"Yes, give it to me." Lin Xuan took the bag and turned back into the villa.
He carried the heavy food upstairs and walked straight into the kitchen. Ye Wanqing was busy in the kitchen. She had just washed the rice and was about to turn on the rice cooker.
Lin Xuan put down the bag, took off his coat, casually draped it over the back of a chair, then rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen: "Do you need my help?"
As he asked, he had already picked up a corn cob skillfully and was about to start shelling it.
Ye Wanqing turned her head and glanced at him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh, Mr. Lin, are you planning to cook for him yourself?"
She knew Lin Xuan's skills; whether it was signing a contract, playing golf, or peeling an apple, he could do it with ease. But peeling corn seemed a bit clumsy to him.
However, Ye Wanqing did not laugh at him. Instead, she said encouragingly, "Well, you need to peel it into kernels, but you have to be careful not to get the kernels everywhere."
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and began to shell the corn seriously. Although his movements were a little clumsy, he was extremely focused, as if this was something very important.
When Ye Wanqing heard the word "OK", she slowly turned around, unconsciously slowing down the knife movements in her hand. Her eyes fell on the plate of corn kernels in Lin Xuan's hand, which was a little messy but had already shown initial results. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"I didn't expect you to be so good at peeling it."
Changing the subject, she added softly, "But, let me do this job next time."
When Lin Xuan heard this, a rare look of embarrassment flashed across his handsome face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It's inevitable that you'll feel a bit rusty when you try it for the first time."
"Yes, I understand."
Ye Wanqing responded nonchalantly, lowering her head and continuing to focus on the vegetables in her hands. Her knife skills were skillful, and each piece was cut into an even thickness.
However, there was always a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her lips, and that smile contained some encouragement and teasing towards Lin Xuan.
After washing his hands, Lin Xuan elegantly took out a piece of kitchen paper and slowly wiped the water droplets from his fingertips.
His eyes inadvertently swept over the meat chopper and the pork that Ye Wanqing had placed aside, and he asked casually, "Does this piece of meat need to be minced?"
"Yes, for making meat patties." Ye Wanqing answered briefly, with a barely perceptible hint of expectation in her tone.
"Okay, leave it to me." Lin Xuan took over the task without hesitation, moved the pork in front of himself and began to prepare.
Shelling corn might be a challenge for him, but when it comes to handling meat, he does it with ease.
In just a few strokes, the minced meat was beaten into a fine and even consistency.
Seeing this, Ye Wanqing didn't hesitate and handed the phone to Lin Xuan. A detailed recipe was displayed on the screen:
"There are disposable gloves in the locker upstairs. Put them on and follow the steps here. Add some seasoning to the minced meat and mix well."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ye Wanqing suddenly remembered Lin Xuan's famous mysophobia and the unique fishy smell of pork.
Her hand paused slightly, and she was about to put the phone away, but Lin Xuan had already raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion:
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"This meat... tastes a bit strong, do you mind?" Ye Wanqing asked tentatively.
Lin Xuan remained calm and smiled calmly: "It's okay, just take a bath after dinner."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that I was worrying too much."
Since Lin Xuan was so open-minded, she naturally stopped being polite and devoted herself to the preparations for cooking.
Considering that there were only two people dining today, Ye Wanqing carefully selected several refreshing and delicious dishes, striving to bring a touch of coolness to Lin Xuan in the hot summer.
She steamed a delicious fish, prepared some pork tortillas, stir-fried a plate of crisp vegetables, and stewed a pot of sweet winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup. She just replaced the white clams in the original text with pork ribs to better suit Lin Xuan's taste.
The soup was just out of the pot, steaming hot. Lin Xuan considerately took the pot from Ye Wanqing's hand and prevented her from getting her hands dirty.
Ye Wanqing walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of rice. The breeze from the balcony brought a hint of coolness. She gently put down the rice and subconsciously used her hands to tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind.
Lin Xuan placed the soup pot steadily on the dining table, and when he looked up, he saw Ye Wanqing carefully placing the chopsticks.
His black eyes flickered slightly, he stared for two seconds, and then looked away. This scene reminded him of the warm time when he had meals with his parents when he was a child.
Feeling Lin Xuan's gaze, Ye Wanqing looked up and happened to meet his deep black eyes. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "What? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"No, it's just..." Lin Xuan hesitated and finally shook his head, "Nothing."
He picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it gently to cool it, and put it into his mouth. Ye Wanqing nervously observed his reaction, fearing that the soup would not suit his taste.
After all, Lin Xuan has always been picky about the taste of food.
However, Lin Xuan simply said: "It's not fishy, it tastes good."
In fact, there was still a subtle fishy smell in the soup, but for him, it was acceptable enough.
"Then drink more while it's hot." Ye Wanqing said, and handed the soup spoon directly to Lin Xuan, indicating that he should serve the soup himself.
At the dinner table, the two ate and chatted, the atmosphere warm and harmonious. Lin Xuan suddenly said, "Your address has been leaked. I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
Ye Wanqing's eyes darkened when she heard this: "When will the trial begin?"
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Probably until mid-October."
Ye Wanqing put down her chopsticks, picked up the soup bowl, and blew gently: "Then I'm afraid I can't live here this month."
"Do you have any other place to live?" Lin Xuan asked with concern.
"No more." Ye Wanqing shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Xuan asked.
Ye Wanqing drank a mouthful of soup, then looked up at Lin Xuan with a cunning glint in her eyes. "You own a lot of properties, wouldn't you mind lending me one to temporarily avoid the limelight?"
