"I have tried all the ways I can think of." Wen Zhan didn't stop walking, turned to look at her, and warned, "The old man doesn't want us to know this, so just pretend you don't know, and don't show such worry and sadness when you come here tomorrow. look like."
"..." Mu Wanqing followed him unconsciously and said nothing.
She felt like she couldn't disguise herself so well.
"These days, you can spend more time with grandpa when you have time, and occasionally bring the children to play. The old man is in a good mood when he sees his great-grandson. Maybe the pain can be alleviated."
The woman nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I understand, I will bring the babies here tomorrow."
Wen Zhan walked to his car. Bodyguard and driver Yi Hang was already standing beside the car and opened the rear door. "Third Young Master, hello, madam."
The man stopped and looked at the woman who was following him all the way, with deep eyes, "Let's have a meal together?"
ah?
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had followed him to the car.
This... I've already followed him. If I don't say it anymore, it will be a bit embarrassing.
Moreover, he was obviously depressed when he mentioned the matter about his grandfather. She felt the pain of losing a loved one and couldn't help but pity him.
"I...I've eaten at home, but - I can eat some with you." With clear and calm eyes, she looked at the man and agreed to his suggestion.
The two got in the car together and Yi Hang drove to a nearby restaurant.
On the way, Wen Zhan didn't speak anymore. Mu Wanqing glanced at him pretending to be casual, and her words of comfort were on her lips, but she still didn't dare to say them.
She was irritable and troubled because her moods were erratic.
One moment I thought he was dedicated, another moment I thought he was a scumbag, another moment I thought he was filial, another moment I thought he was scheming - now, I think he was pitiful...
Oh, I feel really confused.
————
When they arrived at the restaurant, they found a seat with a good view and sat down.
Wen Zhan looked at the menu, flipped through it and asked her, "What do you like to eat?"
Mu Wanqing was flattered.
They have been married for two years and have eaten alone no more than three times.
Each time he ordered something different, and he never asked him what he liked to eat.
"I...I'm not hungry."
"Let me order you some soup. The soup in this restaurant is good." She happened to be breastfeeding and needed to drink more soup.
"OK, thanks."
"You're welcome."
The two people who were originally in a "cold war" suddenly relaxed and started to treat each other as if they were guests, making Mu Wanqing very nervous and restrained.
She was still used to Wen Zhan who ignored her and didn't even bother to look at her.
After ordering the dishes, Wen Zhan had just asked the waiter to take away the menu when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Third brother! It's really you. I thought I saw it wrong!"
The two of them raised their eyes when they heard the sound, and were both surprised.
Lu Kejun.
Unexpectedly, she also came here to dine.
Lu Kejun came closer, and when his eyes caught sight of Mu Wanqing, the smile on his face obviously dropped a lot.
"It's almost one o'clock, and you haven't eaten yet." She asked with concern and surprise.
"Well, I went to visit the old man. He just came out of the hospital." Wen Zhan replied, then looked at her and asked in confusion, "You came here to eat alone?"
"No, Xinchen is behind. He just came back today from a business trip. I went to the airport to pick him up. He is answering the phone and will come in shortly." Before he finished speaking, Gu Xinchen appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Lu Kejun raised his hand, "Honey, this way!"
Gu Xinchen walked over and was also surprised to see Fa Xiao there.
"What a coincidence? I also said I would go to the company to look for you later, and I bumped into you." Gu Xinchen, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, was travel-travelled. It seemed like he had been on a business trip for a few days.
Seeing the woman sitting opposite Fa Xiao, Gu Xinchen nodded politely and said, "Hello, Miss Mu."
Mu Wanqing met him several times and responded politely: "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Lu Kejun held her husband's arm and suggested, "Hubby, let's sit here and eat together."
Gu Xinchen had business to discuss with Fa Xiao, so naturally he didn't mind having a meal together. Hearing this, he looked at Mu Wanqing and asked, "I wonder if Miss Mu would mind?"
Mu Wanqing shook her head repeatedly: "Of course I don't mind, there are so many people and it's so lively."
Gu Xinchen looked at his lovely wife beside him, "Then sit here." He motioned to the seat next to Mu Wanqing.
Lu Kejun pouted and whispered: "No, I want to sit with you. It's been a long time since you stayed with me..."
I feel pity for her coquettish and complaining look, even a man can't stand it.
Mu Wanqing clearly saw that Wen Zhan looked away.
She lamented for the man in her heart: It's so pitiful. Watching the woman she likes showing affection to her best friend in person is no worse than killing someone.
Gu Xinchen looked at Mu Wanqing in embarrassment. Before he could speak, the latter immediately stood up: "Then you all sit here, I..."
She looked at Wen Zhan with probing and questioning eyes.
Fortunately, Wen Zhan was not so indifferent. He immediately stood up and moved out of the way with a tacit understanding: "You sit inside, and the food will be served outside later."
"Thank you." She was extremely polite, passing in front of the man and walking to her seat inside.
Gu Xinchen looked at the two of them getting along and said jokingly: "You are really a model of respecting each other as guests."
Mu Wanqing lowered her eyes in embarrassment, a hint of shyness flashing across her brows.
Wen Zhan looked calm and did not answer.
Lu Kejun watched the two of them get along, and then secretly glanced at Mu Wanqing's expression, feeling relieved and surprised again.
Is it true that love lasts for a long time in this world?
The woman's sixth sense told her that sparks were about to fly between the two of them.
After the food was served, except for Mu Wanqing, the other three people started to use their chopsticks.
When Lu Kejun saw that she was only drinking soup and not eating anything, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Don't you like eating these?"
Mu Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at her, seemingly a little surprised that she took the initiative to talk to him. She lowered her head and continued to drink the soup before answering: "I came out after lunch at home. Wen Zhan hasn't eaten yet, so I'm here to accompany him."
She just told a fact.
But to Lu Kejun's ears, she felt that her words were showing off - showing off their good relationship as a couple.
Feeling that he was in trouble, Lu Kejun looked a little embarrassed, and turned to look at her husband: "Husband, I want to eat shrimps, please help me peel a few."
Gu Xinchen was chatting with Wen Zhan about official matters when he heard this and whispered: "Wait a moment."
"..."
The answer of "wait a moment" obviously dissatisfied her, so her face became even more ugly.
She felt that outsiders were bullying her and even her husband was not given face.
For a moment, tears were about to fall.
Wen Zhan glanced at her, picked up a salt-baked shrimp naturally, peeled off the shell in twos and twos, crossed the dining table with his long arm, and put it into her bowl.
"Thank you, third brother!" Lu Kejun immediately smiled and was in a good mood.
Putting it aside, Gu Xinchen didn't think much about it when he saw this.
The three of them grew up together. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a family. Over the past many years, the two men have doted on Lu Kejun like this.
But today, with Mu Wanqing present, this kind of behavior is inevitable...
When Wen Zhan retracted his hand, he caught a glimpse of his narrowed eyes looking towards him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
