Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered. “You’ve been waiting here?”
“No.” Wei Zimu smiled. “I just came back from outside. Sister Wanyuan, are you busy?”
“What’s the matter?” Wei Zimu asked hesitantly after seeing Xia Wanyuan’s cold expression.
“I’m going to Continent F tomorrow for a business trip. I’m afraid I won’t be back for a month. If you’re not busy, can we have a meal together?” Wei Zimu had always been gentle and warm, but Xia Wanyuan could see nervousness and antic.i.p.ation in his eyes.
Looking at Wei Zimu’s frozen hand, Xia Wanyuan nodded. “Okay.”
In the meeting room, a WeChat message sounded. Everyone waited for Jun s.h.i.+ling to finish reading the message before continuing the discussion.
Jun s.h.i.+ling took the phone and looked at it.
“I’ll have lunch with Wei Zimu in the afternoon. Have lunch yourself.” There was also a cat whining emoticon.
Jun s.h.i.+ling was speechless.
Seeing that Jun s.h.i.+ling was looking at his phone and not speaking, the finance minister carefully called out, “CEO Jun, about the proposal I just mentioned?”
“Bring it back and redo.”
“…” The others quietly lit a candle in their hearts.
With Xia Wanyuan’s agreement, Wei Zimu was very happy. “Then what do you like to eat? Chinese or Western food? Where do you want to eat?”
“Anything is fine. You decide.”
“Okay, then I’ll take you to my favorite restaurant. This ice powder is about to melt. Quick, try it.” Wei Zimu held the sun umbrella for Xia Wanyuan to prevent the scorching afternoon sun from s.h.i.+ning on her.
Xia Wanyuan acknowledged.
Just as he walked out of the Wei family’s door, Wei Zimu’s phone rang. He stopped in his tracks.
The phone kept ringing, but Wei Zimu did not answer the phone.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Zimu.
Only then did Wei Zimu take out his phone and answer the call. His tone was a little cold. “Got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Wei Zimu looked at Xia Wanyuan. “I’m sorry, wait for me for a while. I forgot to take something.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
Wei Zimu handed the umbrella to Xia Wanyuan and walked back to the Wei family. He pushed open the door to his room, and all the lights in the room were switched on.
“What’s the matter?”
“Brother, you seem to have forgotten what you do in the Wei family? You’re so free and even went to eat with her?” An equally gentle face turned around, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
“I’ve already agreed to go to Continent F next week.” Wei Zimu frowned.
“Let me eat this meal on your behalf. You’re setting off to Continent F now.”
“You.” Wei Zimu clenched his fists, but he knew that he could not do anything to his younger brother. Two people walked over from behind, carrying his luggage and half escorting him away.
“Take it that I’m begging you. Can you let me have a meal with her before leaving?” Wei Zimu hesitated for a while, but in the end, he turned around and softened his tone.
“How funny. My brother, who has always been arrogant, would actually plead with me for a woman?? Then I don’t want you to go even more.” The person sitting in the room looked at Wei Zimu’s softened expression with interest.
He had never seen his brother like this in his life.

At the Wei family’s house, Xia Wanyuan put down the ice powder after eating a few mouthfuls. After waiting for about ten minutes, Wei Zimu came out.
Looking at Wei Zimu walk out of the door, he was still dressed like he had been ten minutes ago, but Xia Wanyuan felt that something was different. She frowned slightly.
The afternoon sun shone on Wei Zimu, but it seemed to have no warmth at all. The strange feeling in Xia Wanyuan’s heart came again.
“Sister Wanyuan, let’s go. What do you want to eat?” A gentle voice sounded, and the discomfort in Xia Wanyuan’s heart increased.
“I don’t feel like eating anymore. I’m going back.” With that, Xia Wanyuan turned around and walked towards her car, ignoring Wei Zimu.
After a series of sounds, Xia Wanyuan’s car had already left the spot like an arrow.
The person standing at the door did not seem to expect Xia Wanyuan to leave directly. He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled up.. “What a sharp woman.”
