Chapter 159 Going out with friends
Ye Wanqing drove alone to the Lin residence. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her car, casting a lonely shadow.
Lin Yanrong stood on the balcony, her eyes closely following the gradually receding car until it completely disappeared from the end of her sight.
Then she pursed her lips, turned around and slowly walked down the stairs.
As I walked into the corridor on the second floor, I saw the pastries on the table at a glance.
The housekeeper was carefully placing the cakes onto a delicate little plate, and then respectfully handed it to Mrs. Lin: "Grandma, please try it. This is specially prepared for you by Miss Ye."
Mrs. Lin had always been partial to Ye Wanqing's craftsmanship, and when she learned that the red date cake was made by her, her smile widened. She took the small plate and glanced at Lin Yanrong: "Doesn't Yanrong also love red date cake?"
Lin Yanrong did have a special liking for red date cakes, but when Ye Wanqing made them, she couldn't help but feel a bit of resistance. Unpleasant memories from the past pierced her heart like thorns, making it difficult to let go.
However, in front of Mrs. Lin, Lin Yanrong still forced a smile, reached out and took a piece of red date cake and put it in her mouth.
One has to admit that Ye Wanqing's cooking skills are truly extraordinary. This time, the red date cake, like the osmanthus cake she made before, has a fresh and refined taste, sweet but not greasy, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
Lin Yanrong savored the red date cake in her mouth and silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Well, she had no solid evidence, so she better not make trouble for no reason.
She took a sip of water and was planning to taste just one piece, but seeing that Mrs. Lin and the housekeeper were chatting happily and didn't notice her, she couldn't help but take another piece.
She didn't eat much at lunch and was indeed a little hungry at the moment, so her behavior was understandable.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanqing returned to her cozy little villa just as the sun was setting and the clock struck five. She changed into simple, comfortable home clothes and prepared to cook dinner.
The weather had been exceptionally pleasant these past few days, and her appetite had worked up.
As night fell, the clock quietly pointed to half past eight, and Zhao Jinyu's call arrived as promised, reminding her to set off on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
It was the skiing trip they had agreed on last week, and Zhao Jinyu had already arranged everything.
There was no natural snow in the capital in March, but a good friend of Zhao Jinyu spent a huge amount of money to build an artificial ski resort, which attracted many Beijing citizens to visit.
The ski resort is located in a hot spring villa. In addition to skiing, there are many leisure activities such as hot spring bathing. Since its opening, business has been booming.
Qin Zhuyu had invited Ye Wanqing once, but she was busy finishing the work on her new book at that time, so she declined.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but think of Qin Zhuyu. "Brother Jinyu, is it okay for me to bring someone with me?" she asked softly.
"Of course you can. It's no problem for you to bring as many people as you want." Zhao Jinyu's voice was gentle and tolerant.
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly: "It's Qin Zhuyu, but she may not be available. I'll call her first."
"Okay, if she can come, just tell me directly on WeChat."
"okay."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanqing immediately dialed Qin Zhuyu's number.
Qin Zhuyu had been incredibly busy during this time, and the two of them had even less contact on WeChat. When she received Ye Wanqing's call, Qin Zhuyu's voice was filled with surprise: "Wanqing?"
Even through the phone, Ye Wanqing could feel Qin Zhuyu's excitement, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly: "Zhuyu, I'm going skiing with my friends tomorrow, do you want to come with us?"
Qin Zhuyu had just finished a busy two weeks and was planning to take a good rest tomorrow and then go to Ye Wanqing's place for a meal. When she heard her invitation, she agreed almost without thinking: "Your friend won't mind, right?"
"I've already asked him, and he said he doesn't mind." Ye Wanqing said with a hint of smile.
She paused and continued, "By the way, you also know her, she's Zhao Jinyu."
"Mr. Zhao!" Qin Zhuyu asked with a hint of teasing, "Wanqing, is this a friend or a boyfriend?"
Ye Wanqing chuckled: "We are friends."
"It seems that Mr. Zhao still needs to work harder." Qin Zhuyu joked.
Ye Wanqing did not intend to explain too much about Qin Zhuyu's misunderstanding. Anyway, everything would be clear tomorrow.
"We'll leave at eight tomorrow. He and I will pick you up at your door. Remember to prepare some accommodation supplies. We plan to stay overnight there."
"Okay, I got it. I have to go to bed early tonight!" Qin Zhuyu's voice was full of excitement.
"Well, I'll hang up now. See you tomorrow, Jewel."
"See you tomorrow, see you tomorrow, my beautiful lady!" Qin Zhuyu kissed her several times on the other end of the phone, and Ye Wanqing hung up the phone with a smile.
Her eyes fell on the medicine box on the coffee table and she pursed her lips slightly.
Perhaps because of anticipation for tomorrow, Ye Wanqing fell asleep at around ten o'clock.
The next morning, she woke up before the alarm clock rang.
She hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. Ye Wanqing could clearly feel that her current state was completely different from that of the previous few months.
She had packed her luggage last night, made a simple breakfast in the morning, and then waited quietly for Zhao Jinyu's arrival.
At exactly 7:30, Zhao Jinyu's car stopped downstairs on time. He rang the doorbell and Ye Wanqing opened the door with a smile.
Ye Wanqing was carrying an exquisite suitcase in one hand and two insulated boxes in the other. Inside were the breakfast she had carefully prepared last night. She also made a few extra pastries and carefully packed them in transparent boxes to take with her.
She walked out of the villa. The sun was shining brightly and she saw a gentle man standing next to Zhao Jinyu.
"Ye Wanqing, this is Li Mingzhi." Zhao Jinyu naturally took the suitcase from her hand and introduced her to her with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Ye." Li Mingzhi's voice was like a spring breeze, with a hint of warmth, and his manners were full of elegance.
"Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, then handed the thermos box to them, "Have you had breakfast?"
After Zhao Jinyu put the suitcase away, he turned around and said, "What a coincidence! We haven't eaten yet."
A gentle smile appeared on Ye Wanqing's face. "Then you guys fill your stomachs first, and then we'll go pick up Qin Zhuyu."
Zhao Jinyu didn't refuse and took the breakfast, naturally giving a portion to Li Mingzhi. "Her cooking skills are amazing, you'll know once you try it."
Li Mingzhi gave Ye Wanqing a grateful smile, "Thank you so much, Miss Ye."
"You're welcome, it's just a token of my appreciation." Ye Wanqing waved her hand gently, then took out her cell phone and quickly sent a message to Qin Zhuyu, reminding her not to forget to eat breakfast.
Zhao Jinyu finished her breakfast and suddenly remembered something, "Wanqing, the other breakfast you brought was originally intended for Miss Qin, right?"
Ye Wanqing raised the cake box in her hand and smiled, "It's okay, I also prepared red date cake and matcha cake, Qin Zhuyu can eat these too."
At this time, Li Mingzhi, who had just put down his chopsticks, said, "I'm so sorry, I ate Miss Qin's breakfast."
Ye Wanqing turned to him and smiled gently, "Mr. Li, don't worry about it. Qin Zhuyu should have breakfast at home."
After breakfast, Ye Wanqing suggested gathering at Qin Zhuyu's house.
"Then let's go and go to Miss Qin's house first." Zhao Jinyu agreed happily.
The three of them got in the car together and drove towards Qin Zhuyu's residence.
Qin Huai worked late last night and was woken up by Qin Zhuyu's busy voice in the early morning. He reluctantly got out of bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and looked at Qin Zhuyu who was busy packing her luggage. "What are you doing? Are you going on a trip?"
Qin Zhuyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, do I look like I'm going on a trip?"
Qin Huai yawned and looked at Qin Zhuyu lazily, "Oh, who are you going out with?"
"Go skiing with Wanqing!" Qin Zhuyu looked excited.
Qin Huai yawned repeatedly because he was sleepy. "Just the two of you going skiing?"
"Of course not, there's also Zhao Jinyu and his friends!" Qin Zhuyu teased, "Young Master Zhao is so dedicated to pursuing Wanqing. If I were him, I would have surrendered long ago!"
Qin Huai felt less sleepy after hearing what she said. "You mean, Zhao Jinyu invited Ye Wanqing to go skiing?"
"Yes, is there any problem? Brother, what's the reason for your reaction? Do you also want to pursue Wanqing?" Qin Zhuyu blinked mischievously.
Qin Huai patted her head gently and said, "Stop it. Which ski resort are you going to?"
"It's the hot spring villa ski resort that opened two years ago." Qin Zhuyu replied.
As he was speaking, Qin Zhuyu's cell phone rang.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going skiing. Bye~" Qin Zhuyu said as she dragged her suitcase and ran out impatiently.
