Chapter 121 I Frozen Like a Dog for Her
Qin Zhuyu in the back seat snorted softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "It's so late, Lin Xuan, you should take Wanqing home first, don't keep us waiting here."
Lin Xuan didn't say much, just withdrew his gaze indifferently, then started the car. The wheels rolled over the snow, leaving deep marks.
The continuous snowflakes have been falling for several hours, and the courtyard outside the small western-style building has long been lightly covered with a layer of pure white snow blanket, just like a fairy tale world.
Qin Zhuyu got out of the car holding an umbrella, walked quickly to the passenger side, and handed the crutches to Ye Wanqing who had just gotten out of the car.
Ye Wanqing turned to look at Lin Xuan, with a hint of gratitude in her voice: "Thank you so much for troubling you tonight, Mr. Lin."
Her tone made Lin Xuan pause slightly. Obviously, Ye Wanqing had no intention of inviting him into the house.
Lin Xuan was a man of tact, but he only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile: "You're welcome, I'll have to ask you to take care of Mrs. Lin's affairs."
After saying that, he also got out of the car. At this time, the umbrella in the car had been taken away by Qin Zhuyu, and the only remaining umbrella in the car was also taken away by her. Lin Xuan was only wearing a thin windbreaker, and he couldn't help shivering when the cold wind blew.
Lin Xuan walked to Ye Wanqing and said softly, "The snowy road is slippery. Let me take you in."
Ye Wanqing pursed her lips slightly. She wanted to say goodbye here, but Lin Xuan mentioned Mrs. Lin, which forced her to consider the issue of future care.
"Then it's Mr. Lao Lin." She finally nodded.
After Qin Huai parked the car, he ran over with another umbrella. Qin Zhuyu handed the umbrella in her hand to Ye Wanqing, and hid under Qin Huai's umbrella herself, glaring at Lin Xuan in dissatisfaction: "Why is he so shameless now?"
Qin Huai was confused: "He has always been like this."
Qin Huai chuckled: "What happened to you guys just now? Why did you say he was shameless?"
Qin Zhuyu explained, "The car stopped just now, and I had already gotten out to help Wanqing. Wanqing also told him thank you, and meant for him to take her here, but he actually insisted on taking her inside."
What puzzled Qin Zhuyu was why Ye Wanqing suddenly agreed.
Qin Huai smacked his lips: "I was wondering why you were standing at the door and not going in."
Qin Zhuyu looked at Lin Xuan who was holding Ye Wanqing in front of her, and frowned: "Brother, do you think Lin Xuan is interested in Wanqing?"
Qin Huai had a gossipy look on his face: "It's hard to say. Who knows what a man is thinking?"
If someone is being too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, Qin Zhuyu thought to herself.
Although the conversation between the two was not loud, it still reached the ears of the two people in front more or less.
Ye Wanqing subconsciously glanced at Lin Xuan. Qin Zhuyu's words made her feel a little funny. Men like Lin Xuan always seemed to take emotional matters lightly.
Perhaps because he noticed her gaze, Lin Xuan suddenly lowered his head to look at her. Ye Wanqing felt a little embarrassed, and her hand holding the umbrella unconsciously tightened. She pursed her lips and shifted her gaze.
Fortunately, the distance was not long, and soon Lin Xuan carried her steadily to the door.
"Put me down." Ye Wanqing said softly.
The door needs to be unlocked with fingerprints. She held the umbrella with one hand and the other hand was held by Lin Xuan, so it was indeed a bit inconvenient to operate.
"No need." Lin Xuan's voice was low and firm. He did not let go, but squatted directly next to the door lock.
Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lin Xuan, who was also looking down at her. He had already done this much, and it seemed really inhumane for her to insist on going down on her own.
Ye Wanqing had no choice but to hand the umbrella to Qin Zhuyu who was standing beside her, and then freed one hand to unlock the door.
Since no one had been in the house all afternoon, a gust of biting cold air hit me in the face as soon as I opened the door.
This was Qin Huai's first time entering Ye Wanqing's Western-style building. He couldn't help but sigh, "Wanqing, your Western-style building is decorated in such a stylish way."
Qin Huai looked around without hesitation, as if he wanted to take in every corner of the place.
After Ye Wanqing was carried upstairs by Lin Xuan, she could no longer see Qin Huai, so she did not respond.
But this did not affect Qin Huai's self-entertainment: "This small coffee table is really well designed!"
Ye Wanqing had just been placed on the soft sofa when she heard Qin Huai's praise. She tilted her head slightly and looked in Qin Huai's direction: "Yes, a friend helped design it."
Qin Huai casually asked, "Is it the famous interior designer Zhang Lan?"
Qin Zhuyu had just poured a few cups of hot tea when she heard Qin Huai's words. She couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan, only to see that his expression was still as calm as water, making it impossible to guess his current mood.
Sometimes, Qin Zhuyu really doubted the friendship between her brother and Lin Xuan. Otherwise, why could Qin Huai always speak so freely and say those embarrassing words so easily?
She handed the carefully prepared dinner to Ye Wanqing and said softly, "Wanqing, eat something first. It's really getting late."
"Okay, thank you, Zhuyu." Ye Wanqing took it with a smile.
Qin Huai also realized at this time that his previous question seemed a little inappropriate. He scratched his head awkwardly, walked to the sofa area, and found a random seat to sit down.
Ye Wanqing gave him a gentle smile: "The bar was indeed designed by Zhang Lan. If Young Master Qin likes that style, I can send you an electronic version of the design drawings."
Qin Huai quickly waved his hand, glanced at Lin Xuan, and laughed dryly: "No, no, I just asked casually, don't take it too seriously."
"Yeah, it's okay." Ye Wanqing responded softly, then turned to look at Lin Xuan with a serious look in her eyes: "Mr. Lin, in my current situation, do you have any good suggestions on taking care of Mrs. Lin?"
Although she was injured, she always remembered Mrs. Lin's care.
A subtle tenderness flashed across Lin Xuan's deep eyes. He stared at Ye Wanqing and slowly said, "If you don't mind, I can pick you up at the Lin residence every day. Of course, I will drop you off and leave immediately. I won't disturb you."
"If you find this inconvenient, I can also send Mrs. Lin over." He gave two options and let Ye Wanqing choose.
Ye Wanqing naturally didn't want to make the elderly Mrs. Lin toss back and forth, so she said, "I'd better go to the Lin residence."
She paused for a moment and added, "However, I don't want to trouble Mr. Lin too much. After all, you are already very busy with your work."
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone tinged with joking, "Or maybe you want someone to help you downstairs? For example, that caregiver who's always late?"
Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't thought of this question.
"Then... I'll have to trouble Mr. Lin." Compared to those strangers, she was more willing to trust Lin Xuan.
Qin Huai was listening on the side, secretly complaining in his heart. If Ye Wanqing had not been present, he would definitely have teased Lin Xuan.
Qin Zhuyu placed the dishes in front of Ye Wanqing one by one, then stepped aside.
Ye Wanqing didn't start eating immediately. She glanced at Lin Xuan, then at Qin Huai, and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, Young Master Qin, thank you so much today. I'll definitely treat you to a meal to express my gratitude when I have time some other day."
Qin Zhuyu was not in a position to say anything more to Lin Xuan, so she pulled Qin Huai's sleeve and said, "Brother, we should go."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Lin Xuan, as if observing his reaction.
Lin Xuan glanced at Ye Wanqing's injured leg and said calmly, "Contact me if you need anything."
"Thank you." Ye Wanqing responded politely.
Lin Xuan didn't say anything else and turned around and walked out of the villa.
Seeing this, Qin Huai hurriedly followed him out.
As soon as he walked out of the villa gate, Lin Xuan sneezed several times in succession, and his nose was a little red due to the cold.
Qin Huai gloated from the side, "You're in such a hurry to go out, and you don't even wear a thick coat. You deserve to freeze to death!"
Despite this, he still took off his coat and put it on Lin Xuan's shoulders.
Lin Xuan frowned and pushed it away with some disdain: "No, you can wear it yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help sneezing again.
Qin Huai couldn't help but laugh: "See, you said you didn't need it, but you're still trying to be brave even though you're so cold."
