Chapter 142 Feelings heat up
Xie Shiwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
This smile is like the sunshine in spring, warm and gentle, and like a flower in the breeze, light and moving. There is a gleam in her eyes, as if hiding endless tenderness and kindness.
The moment Duan Heng saw Xie Shiwan's smile, his heart beat faster involuntarily.
He felt as if he was attracted by an irresistible force, and he couldn't take his eyes off her face. That smile was like a spring, flowing through his heart, bringing endless freshness and joy. A blush appeared on his face unconsciously, and a hint of embarrassment and shyness appeared in his eyes.
He tried to stay calm, but his inner excitement made his body tremble slightly. He tried to cover up his loss of composure with words, but found that his throat was dry and his voice became a little hoarse. At this moment, he deeply felt the charm of Xie Shiwan's smile, as if the whole world was brightened.
Xie Shiwan held the recipe with joy, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile, because she knew that with this recipe, Tongfu Inn had hope.
She gently stroked the recipe in her hand, as if it were a precious treasure. The recipe paper was well-made, and the handwriting on it showed that Duan Heng wrote it very carefully. Every word was like a jumping note, playing the melody of saving Tongfu Inn.
A warm current surged in Xie Shiwan's heart, and she seemed to see the future prosperity of Tongfu Inn. Guests were laughing and chatting in the inn, enjoying delicious dishes.
She couldn't wait to share this good news with the prince so that he could also feel the joy.
The prince was not far away at this time, although he was accompanied by the annoying Xie Shiyin.
Xie Shiwan's lively eyes moved slightly and her gaze fell on Duan Heng beside her.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips, as if she had already made a plan in mind.
She moved lightly, slowly approached Duan Heng, and said softly: "Mr. Duan, can you do me a small favor?"
Duan Heng turned his head, his eyes full of doubt, and asked, "What's the important matter? Just tell me."
Xie Shiwan lowered her head shyly and said softly, "The things placed at the door seem a little messy, I want to sort them out. Can you wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon?"
Duan Heng nodded slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Of course, you go ahead, I'll wait here."
Seeing Duan Heng agreed, Xie Shiwan was secretly happy.
She walked briskly towards the flower garden, but after leaving Duan Heng's sight, she changed direction and walked quickly towards where the prince was.
Finally, she came to the prince's side, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
The prince's figure was tall and upright, and his presence seemed to exude a unique charm.
And Xie Shiyin, who was standing next to the prince, was as beautiful as the first ray of sunshine in the morning, which resonated with people's hearts.
Xie Shiwan looked at them and felt a strong sense of jealousy in her heart.
Her eyes revealed dissatisfaction and resentment, as if she felt it was extremely unfair that Xie Shiyin could stand beside the prince.
She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.
The exchange between the prince and Xie Shiyin was like a harmonious movement, their smiles and eyes were full of tacit understanding. But all this was so dazzling in Xie Shiwan's eyes. She watched with gritted teeth and secretly swore in her heart that she must take away the prince's attention and love.
Duan Heng carefully handed the formula to Xie Shiwan. She treated it as a treasure and held it tightly in her hands, as if she was holding the hope of the whole world.
However, when she presented the recipe to the prince, he just glanced at it absentmindedly, and continued to chat and laugh with Xie Shiyin, casually glancing at the recipe that Xie Shiwan cherished.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Shiwan's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, with mixed feelings in her heart.
The laughter of the prince and Xie Shiyin echoed in her ears, and she could only feel sad, watching her feelings being so despised.
Xie Shiwan looked at the prince with a lonely look in her eyes, and she tightly held the formula in her hand. The prince's contempt made her feel that her efforts seemed worthless. She stood aside silently, as if she was forgotten by the whole world.
Just then, Duan Heng's figure appeared in her sight.
He walked towards Xie Shiwan with firm steps.
Her mood suddenly became complicated. On the one hand, she wanted to escape, but on the other hand, she hoped that Duan Heng could give her some comfort.
In the end, she followed Duan Heng away, leaving the prince there with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy on his face.
Duan Heng patted Xie Shiwan's shoulder gently and looked at her with concern, while she forced a smile, trying to hide her inner pain.
Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the distance, leaving only the prince standing there, thinking about something.
Duan Heng said softly: "Shiwan, I know your feelings for the prince, but matters of the heart are often difficult to fulfill. The prince likes Xie Shiyin, and it is not your fault. You are such a beautiful woman, and you will definitely have your own happiness." He looked at her gently, his eyes full of concern.
Xie Shiwan raised her head slightly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "I understand, but I can't help feeling a little sad."
Duan Heng gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be sad. In this big world, there will always be someone who will understand your kindness and cherish your sincerity. Maybe you haven't met him yet, but please believe that he must be waiting for you somewhere."
Xie Shiwan smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Duan Heng. Whether it's the crayfish recipe or your comfort, I'm lucky to have you by my side."
Duan Heng smiled and said, "I think we are already friends. There is no need to thank each other between friends. If you have any worries, you can tell me. I will always be by your side."
Xie Shiwan glanced at him gratefully, and the worry in her heart seemed to be slightly relieved. "Yes, I will. With you here, I feel much more at ease."
Duan Heng looked at her gradually relaxed brows and breathed a sigh of relief, "Shiwan, look forward, the future will definitely be better."
With Duan Heng's comfort, Xie Shiwan's mood gradually calmed down. She nodded slightly, "Well, I will try my best to let go of the past and look forward to the future."
In a warm atmosphere, Zhang Xianxian silently observed Duan Heng and Xie Shiwan, with joy flashing in her eyes.
She saw the two people's feelings gradually warming up and their interactions becoming more intimate, and she couldn't help but feel happy for them.
When Duan Heng turned his head inadvertently, Zhang Xianxian quickly put down her thumbs-up and a playful smile appeared on her face.
Although her action was slight, it was full of praise and encouragement for Duan Heng. This thumbs up seemed to be her silent blessing, hoping that the relationship between Duan Heng and Xie Shiwan would get better and better.
Duan Heng seemed to feel Zhang Xianxian's kindness. He smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed his gratitude towards Zhang Xianxian.
