Chapter 260: Deep Affection
Chapter 260: Deep Affection
Ye Wanqing gave him a gentle smile and whispered, "We've also investigated Li Meng and found out that Zhang Duoer is the culprit behind all this."
She paused slightly, as if remembering something, and added, "It was the woman you glanced at briefly at the villa door that time."
Lin Xuan was naturally familiar with the name Zhang Duo'er. He had met her many times, far more than Ye Wanqing knew. A hint of depth flashed in his eyes, but he remained calm.
"I have instructed Secretary Zhao to handle this matter properly."
He raised his hand slightly and adjusted his exquisite tie.
Ye Wanqing's eyes involuntarily followed his movements, and finally fixed on his slightly open neckline, where his graceful collarbone was vaguely revealed, making her heart beat faster unconsciously.
She blinked gently, turned her gaze back to his face, and said in a soft but firm voice: "I have contacted Zhang Duoer's sister Zhang Jing."
"Oh?" There was a hint of curiosity in Lin Xuan's voice.
"Zhang Duoer has a half-sister who was born out of wedlock. There are only two sisters in the Zhang family, and the one Zhang Duoer fears the most is her biological sister Zhang Jing." Ye Wanqing spoke slowly, each word clear and powerful.
Lin Xuan had indeed not expected this.
He has always been decisive in handling affairs. Since the problem lies with Zhang Duoer, the solution is to solve Zhang Duoer's problem.
As for the complicated background of the Zhang family, he has never been interested in it and has never asked Zhao Yu to investigate in depth, so he is not aware of the entanglements involved.
He nodded slightly, as if thinking about something, and then changed the subject: "Would you like anything special for dinner?"
Ye Wanqing hadn't expected him to come so early. She had originally planned to simply cook a bowl of noodles for dinner. But since Lin Xuan was here, dinner naturally couldn't be so hasty.
It was too late to go buy groceries at this point. Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and made a decision: "Why don't we go out to eat?"
She didn't specify where she was going to eat, as she hadn't decided yet. Lin Xuan picked up his phone and whispered, "Then I'll ask Secretary Zhao to book a suitable restaurant."
Ye Wanqing nodded in agreement. At this moment, her phone suddenly lit up. She reached out and gently pushed away Lin Xuan's hand on her waist, saying softly, "My editor is looking for me."
Ji Mu approached her to promote his upcoming book and the TV adaptation. Ye Wanqing's popularity has been rising year by year as her works have become popular.
The cooperation platform of the new drama launched a variety show. Seeing Ye Wanqing's popularity and influence, the company also hopes that she can take this opportunity to participate in the show.
This is an excellent opportunity for the platform, the company and Ye Wanqing herself to attract attention and increase traffic.
However, Ye Wanqing has always disliked any publicity about herself. In the past, many programs and TV stations have invited her to appear, but she always refused without hesitation.
Ji Mu had worked with Ye Wanqing for many years and naturally understood her personality and preferences. However, the editor-in-chief insisted that she ask Ye Wanqing for her opinion, hoping to convince her.
"Wanqing, I know you don't like to show up in public, but this is really a rare opportunity.
The new drama will be aired in September, which will give you an opportunity to increase your popularity, and the value of your book will also rise." Ji Mu persuaded earnestly on the other end of the phone.
"And this variety show is really interesting. If you participate as a guest, just treat it as a place to relax and have some fun. You only need to record one or two episodes, and it won't take up too much of your time," she added.
Ye Wanqing refused without hesitation: "No, I really don't like appearing in front of the public."
She has a clear and profound understanding of her own personality. She knows that she is not good at dealing with people and does not like to be paid too much attention.
Being famous is certainly a good thing, but there is no absolute good thing in the world.
If she wants to become a famous writer, she will have to face not only readers in the future, but also more complicated interpersonal relationships and disputes.
This undoubtedly put an invisible shackle on her. Moreover, she did not pursue fame and fortune too much. She felt that being able to write books, have people read them, and support herself was enough.
Ye Wanqing had said these words to Ji Mu countless times, and she didn't want to repeat them again.
But Ji Mu was still trying to persuade her, but Ye Wanqing was very firm: "For me, writing is writing. I don't want my work to have anything to do with my personal life. No need to persuade me anymore."
Ji Mu on the other end of the phone sent an emoticon that said "What a pity" and never replied again.
Ye Wanqing turned off her phone and turned to look at Lin Xuan, who was watching her quietly. "A variety show wanted to invite me to be a guest for one or two episodes, but I declined."
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with admiration and understanding: "I believe that no matter what decision you make, you have your own reasons."
He knew that Ye Wanqing was not the kind of person who pursued fame and status, and she did not have much desire for money.
If she wanted to be famous and make more money, she could have entered the entertainment industry with her outstanding appearance and talent.
Ye Wanqing's appearance is one of the best in the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women.
If she really enters the entertainment industry, even if she just sits there and smiles, according to the current fan economy situation and her unique charm, there will be a large number of fans willing to pay for her and go crazy for her.
"I have asked Secretary Zhao to properly arrange the restaurant, and everything is ready." There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in Lin Xuan's voice.
"Then what delicious food are we going to eat tonight?" Ye Wanqing blinked curiously, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.
"It's a seafood dinner. I know you like it." Lin Xuan smiled, and that smile seemed to warm his entire heart.
"It sounds great. I can't wait." Ye Wanqing's face was filled with a happy smile, as if she could already smell the deliciousness of the seafood.
The atmosphere between the two was warm and harmonious, and the topic of participating in the variety show was like a breeze, blowing gently without leaving any trace.
Ye Wanqing had already put it behind her and was wholeheartedly enjoying every moment with Lin Xuan.
However, Lin Xuan seemed to have other plans. He asked softly, "Has the ending of your new book come to a perfect conclusion?"
Ye Wanqing nodded gently, a satisfied glint in her eyes. "Yes, it's finished successfully. I always like to finish it before publishing it, so that I can polish it repeatedly before publishing to ensure that every plot is perfect."
"Then next, can you relax and take a vacation?" There was a hint of expectation in Lin Xuan's words, as if he was planning the future for her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "You suddenly ask this, do you have any plans?"
Lin Xuan looked at her with eyes full of doting: "I have a business trip next week, but the work won't be very heavy. If you want, you can go with me and treat it as a trip."
Ye Wanqing looked at him with a half-smile, a hint of hesitation in her eyes: "Wouldn't this be a bad idea? You're going there for work, and if I go with you, wouldn't it just be pure fun?"
"Don't think like that. With you around, work will become more enjoyable." Lin Xuan held her hand and gently placed it in his palm.
Ye Wanqing felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She smiled slightly and agreed softly: "Okay, since you say so, then I will reluctantly accompany you."
The two smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Ye Wanqing looked down at the time and found that it was almost the agreed time for dinner.
She looked up at Lin Xuan, her red lips parted slightly: "Shouldn't we leave now? If we don't go now, all the seats in the restaurant will be taken."
Lin Xuan stood up and straightened his clothes.
Ye Wanqing looked at his slightly open shirt collar, a hint of possessiveness in her eyes. She whispered, "Your shirt collar is a little loose, don't you want to fix it?"
Although there was nothing wrong with this outfit for Lin Xuan, Ye Wanqing didn't want others to see him like this.
This inexplicable possessiveness made her feel a sweet and shy emotion.
Lin Xuan noticed her look, and a smile flashed in his dark eyes.
He deliberately took her hand and placed it on his collar: "My hands seem a little tired, please help me tidy it up, my girlfriend."
Ye Wanqing's eyes met his, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of shyness and sweetness. She gently helped him fasten the two loose buttons, her fingers occasionally brushing against his skin, bringing waves of subtle touch.
Lin Xuan looked down at Ye Wanqing's serious expression, his Adam's apple sliding slightly, his eyes becoming more profound. He seemed to be able to feel the warmth of her fingertips and the tenderness that belonged only to her.
After Ye Wanqing buttoned her clothes, she looked up at him with a faint smile on her face: "Okay, is this okay now?"
However, before Lin Xuan leaned over to kiss her, Ye Wanqing slipped out of his arms first.
She said with a mischievous smile, "Okay, let's stop being so clingy and go have dinner. If we don't go now, the seafood will get cold."
Lin Xuan looked at her, his eyes filled with affection and restraint. He softly called her name, "Wanqing."
These two simple words seemed to contain thousands of words, full of pampering and affection for her.
