For two consecutive days, Wen Yan had left the
study and returned to her room after midnight,
only to leave for the company early the next
morning.
Late at night, Lu Yanche stood in the kitchen,
holding a ladle and checking the time on his
watch.
Wen Changguo glanced at him from the doorway,
hesitating for a while before entering the kitchen.
"Yanche, what are you doing?"
"I'm making black chicken soup with red dates
and wolfberries," Lu Yanche answered honestly.
"Huh?" Wen Changguo looked confused. "What is
that for?"
"It's for nourishing the blood and qi. Yan Yan has
been working late these past few days, and she
needs it" Lu Yanche said, his eyes flashing with a
hint of discomfort as he lowered his head and
spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Changguo was taken aback. "You're making this for Yan Yan?"
Lu Yanche nodded, then looked puzzled. "She
won't drink it?"
"No, of course not," Wen Changguo quickly shook
his head, smiling' ambiguously. "This is the first
time someone has made this soup for Yan Yan.
You young people really know how to live. Yanche,
you have a bright future ahead of you. Not bad."
Lu Yanche's ears turned red, feeling uneasy as he
pushed his glasses up and opened his mouth to
explain something, but then fell silent.
"The soup is ready. Hurry up and take it to Yan
Yan. She's been working hard on the Guangsheng
project recently, and it's been tough," Wen
Changguo said, returning to seriousness after
seeing Lu Yanche's shyness.
Guangsheng?
Lu Yanche was surprised and asked
subconsciously, "ls Yan Yan in charge of the
Guangsheng project?"
"You know about it too?" Wen Changguo asked
curiously.Lu Yanche cleared his throat. "This project is
huge, and my colleagues have discussed it
before."
He knew that his aunt had handed the project
over to the Wen family, but he didn't expect it to
be in the hands of Wen Yan. Moreover, according
to his aunt's words, it seemed that she highly
appreciated this person in charge. So, this person
in charge should be Wen Yan.
Wen Changguo straightened his back proudly,
"It's not just me, but our Yan Yan is talented and
beautiful. There are few people in Jing City who
can compare with her."
Lan Yanche nodded in agreement. Indeed, Wen
Yan was a capable leader, just like Lu Mei.
"Okay, you should quickly deliver the things to
Yan Yan. It's getting late, so you should rest early,"
Wen Changguo patted Lan Yanche's shoulder and
smiled before leaving.
Lan Yanche entered Wen Yan's study with a bowl
of soup in his hand. He saw her frowning at the
computer and placed the bowl in front of her.
Smelling a strange scent, Wen Yan quickly regained her senses and saw Lan Yanche
standing next to her. She raised her head with
suspicion and asked, "Is there something you
need?"
"Gougi soup, it nourishes the kidneys and
replenishes qi. You need it," Lan Yanche said
seriously.
Nourish the kidneys?
Wen Yan's mouth twitched, and then she teased,
"Mr. Lan, what do you mean? Do you think I have a
kidney deficiency?"n
She stood up and walked towards Lan Yanche,
with her hands behind her back, looking at him
with interest.
Looking into her black eyes, Lan Yanche frowned
and said seriously, "We should proceed step by
step and not act recklessly."
He admitted that this woman in front of him
deeply attracted him. Every aspect of her was
interesting, which made him curious and want to
explore more about her.
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, then
laughed, "Lan Yanche, have l ever told you that
you are like an antique?"
Looking at Lu Yanchai's handsome face, she felt
an itch in her hand and wondered what it would
feel like to touch it.. Realizing the dangerous
thought, Wen Yan quickly suppressed her
emotions and said, "Put the soup here. If you have
nothing else to do, you can leave now."
"Drink it," Lu Yanchai stood still, as if he wouldn't
leave until,she complied.
Seeing this, Wen Yan had no choice but to
comply. She picked up the bowl of soup and
drank it like medicine. It was sweet and tasted
good.
Lu Yanchai stared at her smooth neck, his eyes
filled with an unfathomable meaning. He wanted
to touch it, but his hand was faster. When he
came back to his senses, his hand was already on
Wen Yan's neck. Wen Yan stared at him in
disbelief.
Realizing that he had gone too far, Lu Yanchai
blushed and withdrew his hand. "You should rest
early. It's getting late," he said before quicklyleaving the study.
Wen Yan took a while to come back to her senses.
She touched her neck and looked towards the
door. Did she not dislike Lu Yanchai or was she
really getting better?
Weekend.
A relatively secluded café.
Xu You yawned repeatedly and lazily asked, "My
lady, why did you call me here so early in the
morning?"
"A few days ago, Lu Yanchai touched my neck,
and I didn't feel repulsed," Wen Yan frowned and
hesitated for a long time before finally speaking
up.
"What did you say?" Xu You was stunned, his hand
frozen in mid-air for a long time.
After a while, Xu You swallowed and rubbed his
ear.
"Did I hear it right? You actually let Lu Yancha
touch you?""ls my illness cured?" Wen Yan stared at Xu You,
urgently wanting an answer.
Xu You held his hands and thought carefully for a
moment before looking back at Wen Yan."I think
you need to understand one thing. There may be
a special magnetic field between you and Lu
Yancha. If you still can't accept physical contact
from other opposite sexes, can you accept it from
Lu Yancha?"
"Let's give it a try." Wen Yan lowered her head and
made a heavy decision.
Seeing that she wasn't joking, Xu You didn't ask
any more questions and immediately called his
assistant to come over.
When the person arrived, Xu You winked at Wen
Yan."This is my most handsome assistant, he is
clean both physically and mentally, you can rest
assured to try."
The assistant looked at Xu You warily. "Boss, I
don't sell myself."
Seeing his humor, Wen Yan couldn't help but
laugh.Thinking of the face she most wanted to touch
was Lu Yancha's, Wen Yan made a request. "Can I
touch your face?"
The assistant nodded and eagerly leaned his face
forward.
Wen Yan tentatively reached out her hand and
slowly approached the assistant's face.
Before she even touched him, she couldn't stand
it and withdrew her hand, suppressing the urge to
vomit. She then apologized to the assistant with a
pale face. "I'm sorry, it's not about you."
"I know, it seems that Miss Wen has found a
perfect husband. Congratulations, Miss Wen." The
assistant winked at her, took the tip Wen Yan gave
him, and left the space for Xu You and Wen Yan.
Xu You was a little disappointed. He thought he
could witness a miracle.
Wen Yan held her head in disappointment and
self-mockery. "It seems that I'm still the same."
"It's different now," Xu You held onto Wen Yan's
hands and said seriously, "You have an exception
by your side now, which isa breakthrough. If you
spend more time with your husband, there might
be some pleasant surprises."
"Really?" Hope reignited in Wen Yan's
light-colored eyes.
Xu You tilted his chin slightly, "You can choose not
to believe others, but if you don't believe me, l'll be
angry."
The two smiled at each other, unaware that a
hidden camera had been secretly filming them
from the beginning, even in the coffee shop.
