Wen Xue laughed out loud. She tilted her head and looked at someone standing at the door, "Did you hear that? Brother Xiaorong seems to be very dissatisfied with you. He really doesn't seem to like you at all."
Wen Xue gloated over other people's misfortune.
Jingrong looked back in surprise.
Wen Yanzhi was standing at the door, leaning his body. He was still wearing the clothes he wore last night, but after a night, his neatly-made shirt was now wrinkled and looked a little disheveled.
It must be because I was too intense and passionate with my girlfriend last night.
Jingrong's eyes moved away from his shirt.
The two people's eyes met. Wen Yanzhi's expression was extremely complicated, as if there was something unacceptable that made him struggle.
After just looking at him, Jing Rong quickly turned his eyes away, keeping his gaze quietly on the drawing board, without saying a word.
Wen Xue laughed, "Is little brother Rong angry?"
Jing Rong looked at Wen Xue, "What are you angry about?"
"Yanzhi left you here alone last night and went out to fool around with other people. You should be angry."
Jing Rong shook his head, "Dating, it's normal."
Wen Yanzhi still stared at Jing Rong. He didn't know what he wanted to see from Jing Rong's young but calm face. But, obviously, he saw nothing.
His eyes darkened a little, and he became more anxious and irritated.
This brat! He was upset for no apparent reason, but he was just like nothing had happened, teaching Wen Xue how to draw.
"We should go back." Wen Yanzhi finally spoke, and his words were to Jingrong. His tone was neither hot nor cold, but rather icy cold.
Wen Xue said: "My parents and I have asked Xiaorong to stay here for a few more days before going back."
Wen Yanzhi walked in and pushed Jingrong's wheelchair. He said to Wen Xue mercilessly, "Do you know him well? Why don't you keep him?"
Wen Xue slapped Wen Yanzhi on the back of his hand in anger, "I don't think he is familiar with you. You don't even have a servant these days. If you take him back, how are you going to take care of him? Will your eldest master take care of him personally?"
"Okay, I'll take care of him myself." Wen Yanzhi pushed Jing Rong out of the Wen family.
Before leaving, Jing Rong politely greeted the elders of the Wen family. Because there were guests present, the elders of the Wen family could only glare at their son as a warning for hanging out all night, and did not say much.
Jing Rong actually didn't want to stay at the Wen family all the time. He wasn't someone who could get along well with others. Wen Xue was very active, and he could only say a few words to her, which was the limit. He didn't want to cause any more trouble for them.
Wen Yanzhi carried Jingrong to the passenger seat. He was so close that Jingrong could smell a strong, pungent scent of perfume on him, obviously left by a woman. There was also a faint lipstick mark on his shirt.
Wen Yanzhi drove all the way.
Jing Rong sat in the passenger seat and said nothing along the way, just turning his face to the window.
Wen Yanzhi glanced at him several times, and could only see the boy's snow-white neck. Unconsciously, he recalled the scene when he bathed him last night, and for a moment he sat on the chair feeling uneasy.
Could it be that...
Just like what Lao Yu said, I am really good to this kid...
No!
How is that possible? He likes girls! He has so many girlfriends!
"Jingrong." Finally, he couldn't help but speak first.
Jing Rong just said "hmm" and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Jing Rong turned around and looked at him in confusion. Wen Yanzhi felt a little guilty at that look. He coughed and said, "I'm just curious. You're not young anymore, you should have had a girlfriend before, right?"
"What do you want to say?" There was no expression on his face.
"..." Wen Yanzhi pondered for a moment, "I just want to ask, if you have never had a girlfriend, I will introduce one to you in the future. I have a niece who is very pretty and about your age. You study fine arts, and she is good at ballet and piano. You two little artists are a perfect match."
He has to tell Lao Yu that what he said is wrong!
How could I like this guy! If I liked him, I wouldn't introduce him to a girlfriend, right? So, what Lao Yu said was wrong! Absolutely wrong!
Jing Rong stared at him for a long time, then shook his head, "No need."
"No need?" Wen Yanzhi looked at him inquiringly, "You don't want a girlfriend? Or... you don't like women, but men?"
Jing Rong said seriously: "I have someone I like."
“…” Wen Yan was stunned.
He added two more words faintly, "Girl."
Wen Yanzhi was silent for a while, then he touched the steering wheel and laughed dryly, "That's me being nosy. I haven't heard you mention it before."
"This is a private matter, why should I mention it to you?" Jing Rong's tone remained lukewarm.
Wen Yanzhi felt like he had kicked a wall of iron, and his heart was suddenly blocked and panicked. He pursed his lips tightly and said no more. But he still felt unhappy for a long time.
On this side, Jing Rong ignored him.
There seemed to be something awkward between the two of them.
———
the other side.
When Jingyu walked out of the hospital, the driver had already opened the car door, and the bodyguard followed closely.
"Ms. Jing, are you going home so early today?" asked the bodyguard.
"No, I'm not going back now." Jing Yu said, "I'm going to meet a friend."
"Miss Jing, if you want to go out, you must tell your husband first."
Jing Yu nodded while sitting in the car, "Call him, I'll talk to him."
The bodyguard dialed the number, and after a while, he handed the phone to Jing Yu. "Ms. Jing, the master asked you to answer the phone."
Jing Yu held the phone to his ear. A man's deep and pleasant voice came from the other side, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to look for Jinnian." Jingyu had to lie, "Today is the first day of the new year, I want to visit her home."
"Okay. I'll have someone prepare a gift for you and I'll let the driver know the address."
"..." Jing Yu was speechless for a moment. It seemed that he knew the address of the Qi family. The implication of his words was that the driver would not go anywhere else except the Qi family.
It wasn’t like this before.
His restrictions were only for her safety. As long as she had bodyguards with her and it was a safe environment, he would not stop her.
But now, it's different.
Jing Yu just said "OK" silently. She sat in the car on the way to Qi's house and sent a message to Liang Shengyi:
—I have to pay New Year’s greetings to Uncle Qi today, so I can’t keep the appointment.
After sending the message, Liang Shengyi did not reply. The car stopped halfway, and the driver prepared a New Year gift for the Qi family according to Yu Zeyao's request.
Jingyu called Qi Jinnian again. When Qi Jinnian heard that she was coming, he shouted with joy.
Hearing her cheerful voice, Jing Yu's gloomy mood improved a lot.
After driving for a while, they arrived at Qi's house smoothly. When Jingyu got out of the car, Qi Jinnian came out to greet him with an extremely complicated expression.
