“Did the assessment go well?” Wei Xi asked.
Ling Zhen was still digesting the huge amount of information she got just now, and replied a beat later, “Hmm?… It went quite smoothly.”
Wei Xi glanced at Ling Zhen’s distracted look from the corner of his eyes.
There was a roast duck restaurant nearby that Ling Zhen liked very much. Wei Xi did not drive, but directly took Ling Zhen there.
After entering the restaurant and asking for a private room, Ling Zhen was still not as active as usual while ordering her favorite dishes.
She let Wei Xi order a few dishes casually, and then poked her chin and was distracted.
Wei Xi’s dark eyes fell on Ling Zhen’s face. He stared at her for a few seconds, but the other party did not respond, as if she had completely ignored his existence.
Seeing that, Wei Xi’s breathing became deeper, and he put his hand on Ling Zhen’s shoulder and turned her around to face him.
“What are you thinking about?!”
Ling Zhen twisted her waist and struggled to get free from Wei Xi’s grip, so she frowned and lightly pushed him, “What are you doing—”
But as soon as she pushed, Wei Xi suddenly loosened his grip, and Ling Zhen lost her footing and fell straight into his arms.
She was like a soft and fragrant ball, and it didn’t hurt anyone to bump into her. Wei Xi raised his eyebrows, and his big hand fell on her back and he gently started stroking her.
At this moment, the door of the private room was opened, and the waiter smiled, “Hello, I’ll serve you the dishes—”
In the room, the man raised his eyelids coldly, and he turned sideways to block the person in his arms. In his arms, the little girl blushed and dared not look up to answer.
The waiter knew that she had come at the wrong time. Under that deadly gaze, she quickly arranged the dishes, and then hurriedly closed the door and left, before wishing, “I wish you a pleasant meal!”
After leaving the room, the waiter wiped the sweat from her forehead as she went out. The handsome guy just now was so cold and scary!
She covered her chest and walked around the corner, holding onto the wall, shouting in her heart.
But they both look so good together!
After the waiter left, Ling Zhen finally dared to raise her face and asked softly, “Is she gone?”
Her slightly sweet breath blew on his neck, and Wei Xi’s throat suddenly tightened, “Hmm…”
After confirming that the two of them were alone, Ling Zhen became fierce the next second.
Staring with her bright black eyes, she propped herself up to tickle Wei Xi, “You did it on purpose!! You embarrass me on purpose!”
Ling Zhen was so good at being disrespectful, but Wei Xi was not annoyed at all. Instead, there was a hint of hidden joy in his eyes, and his whole chest was open for her tickling.
Seeing that, Ling Zhen was confused by his sudden good temper, and finally had the illusion that she was being unreasonable.
But after this interruption, Ling Zhen briefly forgot about meeting Wen Zi Chu just now and had a very peaceful dinner.
After dinner, the two took a short walk as usual. Walking side by side quietly, the street lights cast long shadows on the two people.
Ling Zhen suddenly realized that perhaps this kind of leisurely life would quickly be over.
The timeline is advancing bit by bit, and in the near future, she will face the day when she will have to leave Wei Xi and can no longer rely on him.
In fact, she felt very reluctant.
After being together for so long, this man has changed from a vengeful villain that she was afraid of to a gentle and kind person who would not fight back even if he was tickled.
Ling Zhen didn’t want to say that these changes were all caused by herself, but she did witness his changes bit by bit.
Wei Xi looked at Ling Zhen and whispered, “What are you thinking about?”
Hearing that, Ling Zhen smiled and raised her little face, her eyes were like stars, “Thinking… You have changed a lot, Wei Xi.”
Hearing Ling Zhen’s reply, Wei Xi lowered his eyes and called her name after a while, “Ling Zhen.”
The man’s voice was very low, and there was a hint of hidden tenderness that was not easy to detect in the night.
Wei Xi suddenly asked her, “Am I a good person?”
Ling Zhen smiled and without missing a beat she nodded, “Yes.”
I can rest assured now.
Hearing Ling Zhen’s affirmation, Wei Xi smiled.
In the car, Ling Zhen reached out to pull the seat belt, when she just buckled the belt, Wei Xi suddenly grabbed her hand.
Ling Zhen was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
Wei Xi lifted her delicate hand and pinched her slender fingers. He took out a thin thread from somewhere and gently wrapped it around her ring finger.
Seeing his actions, Ling Zhen still didn’t understand Wei Xi’s intention: “What is this for?”
Wei Xi noted down the size, collected the thin thread, and then pinched her fingertips. He smiled gently and said, “Nothing.”
