Chapter 188 Contacting Friends to Care About Her

The faint light of early morning filtered through the gap in the curtains and gently sprinkled into the room. Lin Xuan slowly raised his head and his eyes fell gently on Ye Wanqing.

"I forgot my watch."

Lin Xuan noticed that her face was slightly pale, and he frowned slightly. He asked with concern: "You don't look well? Are you tired?"

Ye Wanqing waved her hand gently, accompanied by a slight but slightly hoarse cough: "I just caught a cold. Come in, I'll get you your watch."

There was a subtle hint of fatigue in her voice. Obviously, this sudden cold had made her lazy and depressed.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the carved door with slightly heavy steps. The light sensor lights on the first floor seemed to sense her return and automatically lit up, dispelling the last trace of darkness in the room.

Lin Xuan followed closely behind, his eyes inadvertently sweeping across the corner of the wall. The dozens of pots of lush roses that he had noticed yesterday were nowhere to be seen. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, but he quickly withdrew his thoughts and followed Ye Wanqing upstairs.

The air on the second floor seemed fresher, but also a little cool.

Ye Wanqing walked into the living room and went straight to the small bar. She poured herself a glass of warm water, held the cup with both hands, and sipped it in small sips to relieve her physical discomfort.

Only then did Lin Xuan carefully look at her face. Under the light, her face did look a little pale, and he couldn't help but feel pity.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lin Xuan consciously did not disturb her too much. He just said softly, "I'll go to the guest room to look for it." Then he turned and left.

This was the second time he had gotten lost at Ye Wanqing's place. Ye Wanqing sighed slightly in her heart. When Lin Xuan came downstairs, she looked up with a bit of helplessness in her eyes: "Lin Xuan, this is the second time."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan paused fiddling with his watch, then looked up with a look of apology in his eyes: "I took it off when I changed clothes this afternoon, and I forgot about it."

Ye Wanqing didn't say anything more. She knew that asking further would be useless. She just said lightly, "It's good that you found it."

Lin Xuan heard the meaning of seeing her off and smiled slightly: "Then I'll leave first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Ye Wanqing's voice was still a little hoarse. She did not stand up, but just watched Lin Xuan's back gradually disappear at the corner of the stairs.

Then she poured herself a glass of warm water, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up her mobile phone, and skillfully ordered a bowl of warm clear chicken soup, hoping to dispel the coldness in her body.

Lin Xuan left the villa and got back into the car. Before starting the car, he looked through the car window at the still-lit light on the second floor again, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze, glanced down at the phone in his hand, a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured to himself: "Sometimes, the truth is true, but it can also hurt people."

Meanwhile, Qin Huai was enjoying a moment of peace and quiet after get off work when he received Lin Xuan's call. There was a hint of surprise in his voice: "Hey, what brings you here, Mr. Lin? You actually took the initiative to contact a nobody like me?"

Lin Xuan's tone was still concise and clear: "I'm at the old restaurant. Come over if you haven't eaten yet."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Qin Huai's response.

Qin Huai looked at the hung up phone. Although he was puzzled, he was secretly happy. After all, Lin Xuan was not the kind of person who would easily make an appointment with someone.

Thinking of this, he immediately tidied his clothes and drove there, secretly thinking in his heart that he must have a good talk with Lin Xuan this time. After all, he was holding a big gift in his hand!

The Yunyue Restaurant was brightly lit and bustling with people under the night sky. When Lin Xuan drove there, he found that the lobby was full, with only a few spacious private rooms and extremely private small rooms left.

However, for Lin Xuan, the dinner with Qin Huai did not require excessive attention to privacy. He directly instructed the manager to arrange a seat by the window with a wide view, so that he could enjoy the food and appreciate the bustling night view outside the window.

The manager knew Lin Xuan's identity very well and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He specially selected a window seat that was both quiet and had a good view. It was neither the center of the crowd nor too remote to be found, ensuring that Qin Huai could spot it at a glance as soon as he entered the door.

When Qin Huai sat down, the table was already filled with delicacies carefully selected by Lin Xuan. Even the menu had not been shown, which showed how much he valued this dinner.

Qin Huai didn't care about these details. He was more concerned about the real purpose of Lin Xuan's sudden invitation to him.

His hunger made him savor the exquisite snacks on the table while he couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Is tonight a special day? Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"

Lin Xuan glanced at him sideways, a subtle arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he asked a question that Qin Huai did not expect: "Is Qin Zhuyu off work?"

When Qin Huai heard this, his heart was immediately alarmed: "Why are you asking about Qin Zhuyu? I'm warning you, don't set your sights on my sister!"

Lin Xuan sensed a hint of wariness in his reaction, and his expression darkened unconsciously. "It's truly a miracle that your company has managed to survive in this fiercely competitive industry, especially with the management's questionable IQ."

Qin Huai was furious when he heard this: "Hey, how can you talk like that? Are you cursing our company?"

Lin Xuan sneered, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "I'm worried about your IQ."

"..." Qin Huai was choked and speechless for a long time, feeling even more unhappy. "Can you please speak properly? You asked Qin Zhuyu right away, who wouldn't think too much?"

Lin Xuan put down the teacup in his hand, with a bit of disdain in his eyes: "Isn't Qin Zhuyu Ye Wanqing's good friend? Can't I care about her friends?"

Qin Huai finally understood and patted his forehead: "You should have told me earlier! You made me nervous for a long time."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly and stopped talking. Seeing this, Qin Huai stopped dwelling on it and asked, "What's wrong? Their good relationship has nothing to do with Qin Zhuyu's off-duty time?"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart: "Ye Wanqing doesn't look well today, as if she has a cold. If Qin Zhuyu is off work, ask her to go see Ye Wanqing. If the situation is serious, it's best to send her to the hospital."

Lin Xuan's words made Qin Huai look at him with new eyes. He nodded repeatedly while listening: "Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, if you had been so kind before, your wife wouldn't have..."

At this point, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words, "Damn! You really kicked!"

Qin Huai felt a sharp pain in his calf. It turned out that Lin Xuan had kicked him rudely.

Despite the unbearable pain, Qin Huai quickly took out his cell phone and called Qin Zhuyu, adding before hanging up: "This is what Lin Xuan asked me to tell you."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Huai looked at Lin Xuan triumphantly, as if he had accomplished a major task. "How is it? Pretty nice, right? Even though you can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, since you're my brother, of course I have to help you!"

At this time, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another. The aroma was overflowing and made people salivate. Lin Xuan picked up the chopsticks, rinsed them carefully with hot water, and began to enjoy the food, completely ignoring Qin Huai's mumbling beside him.

Qin Huai had long been accustomed to Lin Xuan's indifferent attitude. While enjoying his meal, he took out his phone and mentioned another important matter: "Let me tell you, you have to thank me this time! You don't know that many photos of you and Ye Wanqing have been taken. If my people hadn't discovered and stopped you in time, you would have been on the trending search!"

Having said this, Qin Huai deliberately paused, waiting for Lin Xuan's thanks. However, Lin Xuan across from him suddenly spoke, his tone a little unhappy: "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

Qin Huai thought he had misheard: "What did you say? Am I meddling in other people's business? Do you want the whole world to know that you stayed at Ye Wanqing's house last night?"

Lin Xuan put down his chopsticks, a subtle flash of complex emotions in his eyes: "I have my own plans, you don't need to interfere."

Qin Huai was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xuan for a long time before he could say, "Are you... serious?"
