Weekend recess.
After Lin Wan Bai answered the phone, he went back to his bedroom and opened the wardrobe.
After changing clothes, she entered the bathroom to comb her hair in the mirror. She simply grabbed onto a ponytail at the back of her head, and was shocked when she turned around after tying a leather rope. Huo Chang Yuan didn't know when, but he was leaning on the door, staring at her with his pair of deep, calm eyes.
"What are you doing!"
Lin Wan Bai innocently blinked his eyes, "Uh, I told you about it last night. Big Brother Yan Feng is back, and I'm going to meet him for a meal today.
Actually, Yan Feng had returned from last night's flight, so she called her to come pick up the plane with him. However, she found an excuse, because she had experienced this before, she was still a little sad about it, and today's date had also asked for his permission in advance.
"Isn't it just meeting for a meal, and you even need to change your clothes?" Huo Chang Yuan's tone was not friendly, and his expression did not look good.
"I won't change my clothes. Don't tell me I'm going to put on my pajamas …" Lin Wan Bai was helpless.
"Special make-up?" Huo Chang Yuan's gaze swept across her face like a radar.
"…" Lin Wan Bai looked at the mirror in a daze.
Inside, he could see himself looking completely naked. Apart from his skincare products, he didn't wear any makeup. Other than his dry lips that had recently entered winter, he also wore a bit of transparent lip balm. If this was considered makeup …
He took a tissue from the box and wiped it off silently.
Lin Wan Bai put on his jacket and was finally prepared to leave. As he was walking towards the profound entrance, he turned his head to look at the gloomy gaze that was staring at her the whole time and asked hesitantly, "Otherwise … "You're coming with me?"
"No!" Huo Chang Yuan dejectedly refused, "I have plans for today!"
"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
Xiao Yan sighed in relief. He was really afraid that Xiao Yan would agree. Otherwise, how would he eat this meal …
"..." Then I'll be going? "
After putting on her shoes, she shouted towards the inside, "Am I really leaving?"
After receiving no response, he dejectedly pushed open the door and left.
She thought she would be eating at the restaurant outside, but never did she expect Yan Feng to plan to make the apartment herself, and it would be the same apartment she had always lived in. Lin Wan Bai had come here once before, so she was able to find it based on her memories.
When she entered the elevator, Xiao Yun Zheng just happened to arrive with the bottle of red wine.
Ever since the Huo Residence found out about the relationship between Huo Chang Yuan and the other party, they still felt a little uncomfortable meeting each other again.
After entering, Yan Feng had more or less finished cooking, so most of it was already on the table. Lin Wan Bai and Xiao Yun Zheng had helped to cook, and they were almost ready to start eating soon.
Yan Feng's culinary skills had always been good, the fragrance of food permeated through the entire dining hall.
The bottle of red wine that Xiao Yun Zheng brought with him opened, and before she even finished eating, she had already seen the bottom, Lin Wan Bai did not even have a single sip, and Yan Feng did not drink much either, the majority of it going into his own stomach.
After finishing his last cup, he ran to the sofa and spread his arms and legs. He looked drunk, yet not drunk at the same time.
Lin Wan Bai could not help but be concerned, "Is Xiao Yun Zheng alright?"
"Don't worry about him. He's probably not in a good mood recently." Yan Feng waved her hand.
Lin Wan Bai nodded when he saw Xiao Yun Zheng on the sofa holding onto the small jade Buddha on her neck again, thinking of the special meaning of that thing.
Without Xiao Yun Zheng, the two of them were the only ones left on the dining table. Lin Wan Bai was a little nervous.
Ever since the call at the airport, Yan Feng had asked her to break up with Huo Chang Yuan and said that he had a fiancee. Since then, they have never contacted each other again.
Yan Feng's serious face was still as warm as ever when he looked at her. He took the initiative to speak up, "Yun Zheng has already told me about the matter between you and Huo Chang Yuan."
"I …" Lin Wan Bai bit her lips.
"To be honest, I didn't expect him to refuse the engagement. I'm surprised."
Lin Wan Bai pursed her lips but did not say a word.
However, Little Wen, no man is willing to abandon their status and wealth for a woman. Women are forever the victims of men in the upper class, and love is truly insignificant in a person's life. Especially someone like Huo Changyuan, I still hope that you can keep your head clear.
Lin Wan Bai frowned, and only said a few words, "I believe him."
When the sun gradually went west, Lin Wan Bai got off the bus.
Yan Feng and Xiao Yun Zheng both drank, she did not let anyone send her back.
When she saw the white Land Rover parked downstairs, she was slightly surprised, as if she had not moved from her original position.
She hurried upstairs. If she opened the door, sure enough, there was a pair of bright men's shoes on the shoe cabinet.
Ye Zichen peeked inside. There was the smell of tobacco coming from the living room.
He changed into slippers and entered the room, almost thinking that he had strayed into Empress Dowager Wang's Immortality Peach Convention. The upper part of the air was shrouded in white smoke, and it was unknown just how many strands he had smoked.
Seemingly hearing the sound of footsteps, Huo Chang Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, stiffened.
He then quickly cut off the cigarette in his hand, picked up the newspaper beside him, and lowered his head as if nothing had happened.
Lin Wan Bai walked over, but he did not even raise his eyebrows, as if there was something extremely attractive about it.
She took off her shoulder bag and looked at him in surprise. "Uh, didn't you say you had a trip scheduled today? Why did you come back so early?"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
Lin Wan Bai waved his hand to dissipate the smoke, "How many cigarettes have you actually smoked?"
"Not many." Huo Chang Yuan said indifferently.
One, two, three...
After counting for a long time, he could not even count how many there were. Lin Wan Bai withdrew his gaze from the bottle.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, she thought of a possibility and endured the twitching of her mouth, asking, "Huo Chang Yuan, you didn't go out did you?"
"Stop arguing, I'm reading the newspaper!" Huo Chang Yuan shouted.
"Huo Chang Yuan, you've brought down your newspaper …" Lin Wan Bai reminded her out of good intentions.
Embarrassment flashed across Huo Chang Yuan's face, he then threw the newspaper onto the table.
Like an awkward little boy, he stood up and strode into the bedroom.
Lin Wan Bai was startled, and after a few seconds, he followed him. Seeing that he was already lying on the bed with his arms behind his back, with his deep and calm eyes closed, his face revealed an expression that lacked respect, and on his forehead were the words "Get away from me".
She quietly went over and lay on the side of the bed.
After waiting for a long time, he realized that the other party had no intentions of opening his eyes.
He reached out to push him, but there was no response.
He poked his fingers again at his firm muscles, and this time there was a reaction, but he dodged her hand.
Lin Wan Bai saw that his jaw line was so tight that it was sharp, and didn't feel any fear at all. On the contrary, he didn't even try to pull the corner of his lips together as he laughed out loud, "Huo Chang Yuan, you're so cute …"
Huo Chang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and glared at her fiercely, "Are you tired of living?"
