Chapter 181 A beam of light shines into her world
Ye Wanqing stared at Lin Xuan quietly, only to see him drink the whole bowl of steaming ginger soup at an astonishing speed without even a hint of hesitation.
She was about to say something, but after seeing him drinking so heavily, she swallowed it back silently.
Perhaps because he drank too quickly, the moment Lin Xuan put down the bowl, a few drops of light yellow ginger soup slowly slid down his angular chin, and finally playfully stopped on the collar of his slightly tight bathrobe, leaving a series of mottled marks.
That bathrobe originally belonged to Su Zimo. Su Zimo was 1.83 meters tall. Although he was not short, he was still slightly inferior to Lin Xuan's tall figure of 1.87 meters.
This three-centimeter height difference may be insignificant in daily life, but it is fully reflected in this bathrobe.
In addition, in order to maintain a thin look when on camera, Su Zimo deliberately maintains a relatively thin figure.
Although Lin Xuan does not have a physique as strong as a mountain, his shoulders are much broader than Su Zimo's. After long-term training, the lines of his body appear strong and powerful, full of masculine charm.
Although his muscles are not exaggerated, they are firm and elastic, giving people a sense of security.
Therefore, when this bathrobe was worn by Lin Xuan, it not only looked a little short, but even the width of his shoulders seemed a little cramped.
The bathrobe was originally designed to be loose and comfortable, but when it came to Lin Xuan, it seemed to have become a fitted casual garment, perfectly outlining his muscular figure.
Ye Wanqing's eyes unconsciously fell on his broad and strong chest. She quickly retracted her gaze and turned to look out the window. She saw that the rain had become more and more violent. The raindrops hit the window with a crackling sound, as if they were going to shatter the thin glass.
The rain was so heavy that Ye Wanqing felt embarrassed to ask him to leave.
She took the empty bowl from Lin Xuan's hand and said softly, "If you still need to deal with company matters, you can go to the study."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. He did rush to the police station directly from the company. There was an important meeting waiting for him, but it had been temporarily postponed.
The meeting can only be postponed until tomorrow, so he has to deal with some urgent documents tonight.
He did not refuse Ye Wanqing's kindness: "Okay, I'll go to the study to deal with some documents."
While wiping the corners of his mouth with a tissue, he stared at Ye Wanqing's back as she walked into the kitchen with his deep black eyes.
Ye Wanqing was busy in the kitchen, gently shaking off the water droplets on her hands.
Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze and scanned the living room, and suddenly found that the medicine box was gone.
His heart tightened when he realized that Ye Wanqing had not yet gone for a follow-up visit.
At this time, Ye Wanqing walked out of the kitchen. Lin Xuan quickly retracted his gaze and asked softly, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll ask Zhao Yu to bring it over."
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly, a gentle smile appearing on her face: "I don't have any special requirements, it's up to you to decide."
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs without stopping.
Lin Xuan thought she had gone back to her room to rest, so he didn't disturb her anymore and turned to walk towards the study.
The rain was still heavy, as if competing with yesterday's rain.
The computer screen in the study flickered, and several folders were neatly arranged on the desk. Lin Xuan logged into his email and began to review the electronic documents sent by Zhao Yu.
His concentration when working is amazing, and it seems like it only takes a few seconds for him to finish several documents.
About an hour later, he finally put down the documents in his hand and looked at the time. It was already past six in the afternoon.
He relaxed his shoulders, stood up and prepared to go see Ye Wanqing.
After all, she didn't go for a follow-up visit, and after going through so much today, he was worried that she would have an emotional breakdown in the room like she did before.
He walked up the stairs gently, taking every step carefully, as if he was afraid of disturbing Ye Wanqing.
Recalling the experience of that rainy night, Lin Xuan's pace involuntarily became quicker, and he was worried.
Ye Wanqing's room was quietly located at the deepest part of the third floor, and he walked in that direction without hesitation.
The bedroom door was tightly closed, like an invisible barrier separating him and Ye Wanqing.
He stood outside, staring at the closed door, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.
He glanced at the time on his phone, frowning, but finally mustered up the courage, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door: "Ye Wanqing, are you in there?"
However, there was silence in the room, without any response.
Lin Xuan's heart sank instantly. He waited anxiously at the door for about two minutes, took a deep breath, and finally decided to leave temporarily to arrange some other things to divert his attention.
The rain outside was still pouring down, and the dense raindrops were like dense drumbeats, beating on the window and also beating on his heart.
He walked to the balcony, picked up his cell phone, called Zhao Yu, gave him a few brief instructions, and asked him to arrange for someone to deliver dinner later.
Zhao Yu on the other end of the phone was obviously used to his sudden arrangements. He just responded simply without asking any further questions.
After the call ended, Lin Xuan was about to hang up, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a blurry figure in the thick rain.
His heart suddenly tightened and he immediately turned and ran down the stairs.
There was an umbrella next to the entrance door. He picked it up, opened it, and rushed into the rain.
The rain was so heavy and the wind was so strong that even with an umbrella, he could not withstand it.
The umbrella was blown all over the place by the wind, and he could only hold the umbrella handle tightly and move forward with difficulty.
His clothes were soon soaked by the rain, but he didn't care. He just stared at the blurry figure in front of him.
When he finally ran to the figure, he found that it was Ye Wanqing.
She stood there, letting the rain wash over her body, as if she had lost all consciousness.
Lin Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and immediately ran towards her, shouting, "Ye Wanqing, why are you here? Come back with me!"
The rain was so loud that Ye Wanqing didn't hear his voice at first.
But when she turned around and saw Lin Xuan's worried face, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at him, with a hint of confusion in her voice: "Why did you come down? Didn't I ask you to wait for me upstairs?"
Lin Xuan didn't answer her, but just held her hand tightly and walked back.
His voice was filled with blame and worry. "I should be the one asking you this! How could you stand outside alone in such heavy rain? Are you crazy?"
Ye Wanqing was pulled by him back into the villa.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xuan looked at her carefully.
Her clothes were soaked and stuck to her body, and water was still dripping from her trouser legs.
The hair on his forehead was wet by the rain and stuck to his face in a messy manner.
When Lin Xuan touched her hand, he found that her fingertips were frighteningly cold.
He put the umbrella in the umbrella bucket beside him, then looked at Ye Wanqing with eyes full of heartache.
Ye Wanqing lowered her head, seemingly thinking about something.
After a long while, she slowly spoke: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Her voice was low and heavy, and Lin Xuan knew that she had something on her mind as soon as he heard it.
He also put the umbrella back into the umbrella bucket and closed the door to keep out the storm outside.
He looked at her tenderly and said softly, "It's okay, I'm fine. But you, why did you suddenly run outside? Is there something on your mind?"
Ye Wanqing looked up at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She raised her hand to push her hair away from her face and said, "I just wanted to go check on the roses. They... they look like they're dying."
There was a hint of sob in her words, obviously she was recalling the sad things in the past.
Lin Xuan's heart tightened. He gently held her hand and said softly, "Don't be sad. I will help you save them."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door again and walked out.
Ye Wanqing watched his back disappear in the rain, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart. She stood there, silently waiting for his return.
Soon, Lin Xuan's figure appeared in her sight again.
He held a pot of roses in each hand and placed the roses on the left side of the door. Then he just glanced at her and turned around to get other flowers.
Ye Wanqing looked at his busy figure and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It was as if in this dark rainy night, a beam of light suddenly shone into her world, making her feel unprecedented warmth and hope.
