Chapter 110: Care outside the door
Lin Xuan slowly parked the car on the side of the street, but was hesitant to open the door.
When he arrived, he happened to see the taillights of Qin Huai's car slowly disappearing in the night, leaving behind a blurry light and shadow.
He himself didn't understand why he drove here for some unknown reason. Perhaps it was because Ye Wanqing's worried look in the evening made him worry that she was all alone in that huge villa. If something went wrong, no one would know.
However, the appearance of Qin Huai made him realize that his worries might be unnecessary. Obviously, there were many people silently guarding Ye Wanqing. What kind of guardian was he?
He shouldn't be here, becoming that unnecessary existence.
Just as he was about to step on the accelerator and sped away, the car only drove a few meters before stopping again.
He stared through the half-open car window at the light on the second floor of the villa swaying in the night. It was like a touch of warmth in the darkness and was particularly eye-catching.
Recalling the look Ye Wanqing gave him in the evening, Lin Xuan frowned unconsciously.
She actually poured a glass of cold water on him without mercy.
This thought made him feel a little sad and unwilling. Lin Xuan gently rolled down the car window, took out a box of exquisite mint cigarettes from the glove box beside him, took out one, lowered his head, and gently lit it with a lighter.
The strange thing is that ever since he realized his deep feelings for Ye Wanqing, every detail of the past kept replaying in his mind like an old movie.
The more he recalled, the more confused he became. How could Ye Wanqing be so cold and heartless to him?
This problem is destined to have no solution, just like Qin Huai always breaks into his life at inappropriate times.
In the small carriage, the sudden ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts.
The cigarette in Lin Xuan's hand was only half burned when cold wind blew in from the half-open car window, bringing a biting chill.
He frowned, glanced at the caller ID on his phone screen, and a sense of resistance surged in his heart.
He didn't want to answer the call, but the ringing became more and more urgent. He took a deep puff of cigarette and finally pressed the answer button. His voice was low and distant: "What's the matter?"
Qin Huai chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Who made you unhappy again?"
Lin Xuan did not respond and was about to hang up the phone.
Qin Huai seemed to have anticipated his reaction. Before he hung up, he quickly said, "Wait, don't hang up yet! I finally got off work on time today after working overtime for several days. How about we go out for a drink together tonight and relax? Li Chenfeng also came back the day before yesterday. We haven't been together for a long time."
Unlike Lin Xuan's gloom, Qin Huai's tone was full of ease and joy.
"Location." Lin Xuan responded briefly.
"Still the same place." As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, there was a beep from the other end of the phone indicating that the call was hung up.
Lin Xuan hung up the phone, but Qin Huai didn't care. He knew very well that since Lin Xuan asked for the location, it meant he would come.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at the villa again.
It was almost eight o'clock, and the lights on the third floor were still dim, only the lights on the second floor were still as warm as before.
He sighed softly, closed the car window, and drove away, leaving behind a faint trace of exhaust fumes that dissipated into the night.
Qin Zhuyu had just hung up the phone when her eyes inadvertently swept out the window. She saw that the Maybach that had been parked all the time finally drove away. She couldn't help but frown slightly, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
In such gloomy weather, she sighed softly, turned around and went back to the villa, isolating herself from the outside world.
After Ye Wanqing swallowed a pain-relieving pill, the pain gradually subsided and her face slowly regained its color.
Inside the villa, the heat was as warm as spring. As soon as Qin Zhuyu stepped in, she felt a warm breath enveloping her whole body.
She sat down gracefully beside Ye Wanqing, her eyes full of concern: "Wanqing, how do you feel now?"
Ye Wanqing took a sip of the hot tea in her hand and nodded gently: "I'm much better now."
Compared to the severe pain that almost made her collapse before, she felt much better now.
Qin Zhuyu also picked up her teacup, took two sips, and then said, "How strange! I was answering the phone on the terrace just now, and I saw a Bentley parked downstairs, but it drove away as soon as I hung up."
Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled at Qin Zhuyu: "Maybe it's just a temporary stop."
"Yeah, too."
Qin Zhuyu did not delve into the matter further. Although the car's behavior of driving into the villa area did seem a bit unusual, it stayed outside for more than ten minutes and then left quietly.
However, no matter how strange it was, it had little to do with her.
What she was more concerned about at the moment was Ye Wanqing: "Do you need me to stay with you tonight?"
Ye Wanqing knew that Qin Zhuyu had a crucial program recording tomorrow, so she shook her head gently: "No, this was an accident. I haven't felt this much pain in a long time."
Even though Ye Wanqing said this, Qin Zhuyu was still worried: "Actually, I can get up early tomorrow and go back."
Ye Wanqing once again politely declined Qin Zhuyu's offer: "It's too much trouble. In this kind of weather, getting up early really requires a lot of courage."
"Okay then. If you have anything, you must call me first. I'll be back first."
Qin Zhuyu didn't want to leave so early, but her program tomorrow was too important, and the director had added some content to her today, so she needed to go back and familiarize herself with the script.
"You can drive my car back."
Ye Wanqing handed the car keys to Qin Zhuyu. Qin Zhuyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to have lunch with you."
Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Okay."
Although Ye Wanqing felt much better after taking the medicine, Qin Zhuyu did not let her get up and see her off.
Ye Wanqing didn't see her off. It was still drizzling outside. She stood on the terrace wrapped in a soft blanket, watching Qin Zhuyu drive away. Then she slowly turned off the lights on the second floor and went up to the third floor.
The nightmare she had that afternoon left her soaked to the skin, and her clothes were no longer wearable.
Ye Wanqing found some clean clothes, took a nice shower, and then sat on the bed with her tablet to start thinking about the framework of her new novel.
However, as soon as she opened the document, she recalled what Qin Zhuyu had just said: "How strange! I was answering the phone on the terrace just now and saw a Bentley parked downstairs, but it drove away as soon as I hung up."
Lin Xuan?
Thinking of him, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but frown slightly.
She didn't understand what he was trying to do.
Qin Huai also didn't understand what Lin Xuan was planning. He had been there for a while and had been silent since entering the box, but he did drink several cups of tea.
He couldn't help but touch Li Chenfeng's arm: "Achen, what happened to Lin Xuan?"
Li Chenfeng shrugged helplessly: "Do you think I would know the answer to this question?"
"Too."
At this time, Xu Sui (one of Lin Xuan's good friends) arrived late: "Sorry, something delayed me."
Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa, just looked up at him lightly, without saying a word, and poured another cup of tea into his teacup.
Qin Huai smacked his lips and said, "This is the fifth cup. If you drink any more, you'll drink the whole pot by yourself, Mr. Lin."
Xu Sui had just sat down when he heard Qin Huai's words and couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan: "Want to drink some tea to relieve your sorrow?"
Lin Xuan gently shook the teacup and glanced at them with a cold look: "No."
Qin Huai snorted: "Who would believe that?"
Lin Xuan didn't drink any more tea, but just occasionally interjected a word or two.
After the party, Qin Huai walked out of the box and approached Lin Xuan: "Didn't you say you wanted to pursue Ye Wanqing? It's been so long, why haven't you taken any action?"
Lin Xuan's dark eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at Qin Huai: "When did I say that?"
Qin Huai: “???”
Didn't he say this himself?
