Chapter 135 Meeting Him
The flight from my hometown to Beijing took a leisurely two-hour journey across the blue sky and finally landed slowly at the Beijing Airport. The clock hand coincided with noon and the sun was shining brightly.
Ye Wanqing slowly opened her slightly tired eyes, with an imperceptible paleness on her cheeks, like the moonlight in the night, beautiful but chilly.
Zhao Jinyu turned his head, his eyes fell on her gently, and whispered softly: "Did you stay up late again last night? You don't look well."
She nodded gently, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Yeah, a little insomnia."
As the cabin door opened, the unique fresh air of Beijing mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers poured in. Ye Wanqing couldn't help but look out the window, and a bright sunshine instantly dispelled the haze in her heart.
She fumbled for her cell phone from her bag, touched the screen with her fingertips, and sent a short message to her friend Qin Zhuyu.
The message was like a stone dropped into a calm lake. Qin Zhuyu's phone rang almost instantly: "Wanqing, have you arrived yet?"
Ye Wanqing raised a faint smile and nodded, even though Qin Zhuyu couldn't see it: "Yeah, just landed."
"Do you need me to pick you up? Or arrange a place for you to rest?" Qin Zhuyu's voice was full of concern.
She glanced at Zhao Jinyu, who was walking in front of her carrying her small handbag, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart: "No need, I came back with a friend, he is very considerate."
"Is it Zhao Jinyu?" Qin Zhuyu's voice was full of sarcasm, and it was obvious that she had guessed the answer.
Ye Wanqing did not deny it, but just said "hmm" softly.
Qin Zhuyu seemed to want to ask something else, but she finally said, "Then be careful. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanqing turned to look at Zhao Jinyu with a hint of apology in her eyes: "Did you just say something to me? I wasn't paying attention."
Zhao Jinyu had a gentle smile on her lips, like the warm sunshine in spring: "Nothing, I just wanted to remind you that the sunlight outside is a bit dazzling, be careful of your eyes."
"I understand, thank you." Her voice became softer.
The two walked side by side to the baggage claim area. Ye Wanqing saw her suitcase at a glance, but Zhao Jinyu had already taken the suitcase off the conveyor belt in a gentlemanly manner.
"Thank you so much for your help." Ye Wanqing said gratefully.
Zhao Jinyu just shook his head slightly, with an imperceptible glint of doting in his eyes.
Walking out of the airport, Ye Wanqing unexpectedly met Lin Xuan. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked particularly tall and straight.
However, their eyes only met briefly before they looked away, as if they were strangers.
Zhao Jinyu observed silently from the side, but did not say much.
Zhao Jinyu drove his car and waited quietly outside the airport.
He took in the subtle atmosphere between Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan, but chose to remain silent.
Lin Xuan was in another car, driving away slowly. Through the car window, his gaze lingered on Ye Wanqing and Zhao Jinyu for a moment, then he withdrew his gaze indifferently, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Yu sat in the passenger seat with an unopened bottle of mineral water in his hand, hesitating whether to hand it to Lin Xuan.
In the end, he just sighed softly and put the mineral water back in its place.
He knew that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be in a good mood today.
The sunlight shines through the car window onto Ye Wanqing and Zhao Jinyu, adding a touch of warmth to the journey.
On the other side, there was silence in Lin Xuan's car, as if even the air had frozen.
An hour ago, the chance encounter at the airport seemed like a joke of fate. Unexpectedly, an hour later, the gears of fate turned again, and Lin Xuan unexpectedly reunited with Ye Wanqing and Zhao Jinyu at Yunyue Restaurant.
He secretly regretted why he gave up the seat that had been arranged for him in Xinyuetang and chose Yunyue instead, which led to this unexpected encounter happening again.
This encounter was more direct than the one at the airport. Both parties walked in from the two entrances of the restaurant almost at the same time, and they were almost about to bump into each other.
Although the two had a past, at this moment, even when facing each other at such a close distance, they just politely ignored each other's existence.
Zhao Jinyu glanced at Lin Xuan inadvertently. When Lin Xuan's gaze fell upon him, instead of avoiding it, he greeted it generously with a faint smile on his face. "Boss Lin, what a coincidence. Long time no see."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Long time no see, Mr. Zhao is still as elegant as ever."
He glanced at Ye Wanqing beside Zhao Jinyu, his eyes lightly passing over her delicate features, and then moved away calmly, as if it was just an unintentional glance.
Ye Wanqing nodded politely to Zhao Yu, but as for Lin Xuan, she didn't even look at him.
"Let's not disturb Mr. Lin. Let's go eat first and talk again another day."
After Zhao Jinyu finished speaking, he turned to look at Ye Wanqing, his eyes full of tenderness: "Let's go."
Ye Wanqing nodded slightly, followed Zhao Jinyu, and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
Although the two were only one step apart, their tacit understanding and closeness were extremely obvious in the eyes of others.
After Zhao Yu saw Zhao Jinyu and Ye Wanqing go upstairs, he turned around and glanced at Lin Xuan's gloomy face. He was startled and quickly looked away. He unconsciously moved to the side to minimize his presence.
Zhao Jinyu had already booked a private room when he left the airport. After he sat down, he softly asked Ye Wanqing, "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Lin Xuan?"
Ye Wanqing took off her scarf and shook her head gently: "There is no misunderstanding."
"Then..." Zhao Jinyu hesitated to speak.
Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip, but didn't tell the real reason in the end: "After all, it's over between him and me."
For her and Lin Xuan, whether they can remain friends after divorce may be easy for others, but for them, no matter what the past was, the gap already exists and cannot be overcome.
Zhao Jinyu looked at her deeply and said softly, "I understand."
He no longer mentioned Lin Xuan, but instead handed the menu to Ye Wanqing, trying to change the subject.
After lunch, Zhao Jinyu personally sent Ye Wanqing back to her villa.
In the villa, the flowers in the garden are blooming in the sunshine, full of vitality.
Ye Wanqing had arranged for someone to clean the villa spotlessly yesterday. Today, taking advantage of the good weather, she picked up a pair of scissors and carefully trimmed the branches of flowers in the garden.
By the time she had trimmed the flowers in the garden neatly, the sky had gradually darkened.
Without the sunshine, the cold wind began to rage.
Ye Wanqing returned to the villa, ordered a takeaway, turned on the computer, and continued to revise the unfinished work from a few days ago.
At the same time, in the meeting room of the Lin Group’s senior management, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could turn to ice.
Lin Xuan sat there, although silent, but his gloomy face was enough to make everyone in the conference room feel a chill.
Manager Li, who had just tried to defend himself, spoke in a lower and lower voice, and finally fell silent, not daring to say anything.
The entire conference room fell into a dead silence, and everyone even breathed cautiously.
This silence lasted for a full ten seconds before Lin Xuan, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke: "Is this the result of your team's three months?"
Lin Xuan sneered, his tone filled with unquestionable determination: "If the ability is insufficient, I can replace him."
After saying that, he stood up and strode out of the meeting room.
Zhao Yu followed closely behind, always keeping a distance of one meter, not daring to get too close or too far away.
Lin Xuan stepped into the elevator and glanced at the documents in Zhao Yu's hand: "Tomorrow's morning meeting is cancelled."
"Okay, Mr. Lin." Zhao Yu responded quickly and hid the documents in his hand behind him.
He'd better not offend Lin Xuan at this time, so as not to cause a bigger disturbance.
When the car slowly stopped, Lin Xuan felt an indescribable depression.
He didn't know why he drove the car to Ye Wanqing's villa for some unknown reason.
This time, the lights in the villa finally came on.
He sat in the car, staring at the dim light on the second floor, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
The cold wind blew in from the car window, bringing with it a biting chill. The smoke and cold wind temporarily pulled him away from his thoughts.
However, it was this clarity that made him realize that he might have fallen into a situation from which he could not extricate himself.
His pride and self-control seemed to have lost their effect in front of Ye Wanqing.
