Chapter 203 Zhang and Xu meet
A fluffy, lazy orange kitten slowly walked out from the dark corner.
Its body is round, like a miniature orange pompom, with its tail raised high, leisurely drawing elegant arcs in the air.
Ye Wanqing's eyes involuntarily followed the steps of this little life, a gentle arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she curiously watched it approaching her step by step.
The orange cat stopped at her feet, as if making some delicate decision, and then rolled on the ground without hesitation. It looked both adorable and coquettish.
Ye Wanqing was amused by this scene. She chuckled and squatted down, gently touching the soft head of the orange cat with her fingertips, feeling the delicacy and warmth.
At this moment, a heroic female police officer in uniform happened to pass by, and her eyes were also attracted by this lively orange cat.
"Look, the big orange cat is showing off his special skills of acting cute again!" The female police officer's voice was filled with a hint of smile. She walked closer while speaking and reached out to gently stroke the orange cat.
Ye Wanqing turned to look at the female police officer, her eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Is this cat from yours?"
The female police officer shook her head and gently waved the document in her hand:
"No, it's the pet of a kind old lady in a nearby alley. She often visits us, and we like her very much too. We occasionally give her some delicious treats.
This guy is very brave and never shy away from strangers."
Ye Wanqing looked down at the orange cat rubbing against her palm, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart: "It really is so lovable."
The female police officer smiled and joked, "That's because you're pretty. Daju is obsessed with looks and especially likes pretty girls!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing's lips blossomed into an even brighter smile. She looked up into the distance, only to find that Lin Xuan had ended the call and was standing quietly under a lush tree, watching her interaction with the orange cat with gentle eyes.
A hint of embarrassment flashed through Ye Wanqing's heart. She stroked the orange cat a few more times, then slowly stood up and walked towards Lin Xuan:
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."
Lin Xuan's eyes were gentle and deep. He smiled gently: "What would you like to eat for lunch? It's my treat."
Ye Wanqing thought for a moment and said, "I haven't tasted the deliciousness of fish for a long time. I want to eat fish."
"The fish in the cloud are cooked quite well, let's go there." Lin Xuan suggested.
Ye Wanqing readily agreed and took the passenger seat, letting Lin Xuan drive.
"Cloud" is a private restaurant specializing in fish.
Ye Wanqing hasn't been here for more than a year. The last time she came was when Qin Zhuyu brought her here, but because it was difficult to reserve a table, she never had the chance to come and taste it again.
On the way, Ye Wanqing recalled this past event, but Lin Xuan obviously had no such worries, and booking a seat was easy for him.
After the two arrived, the waiter smiled and led them to a private seat by the window.
Outside the window is a tranquil lotus pond. Although the lotus flowers in May have not yet bloomed, the lotus leaves have already covered the water surface, lush green, like a huge piece of jade.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and a group of koi fish swim leisurely under the lotus leaves, enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon.
A bag of fish food was placed on the table for guests to feed these lovely creatures. Lin Xuan opened the package of fish food and handed it to Ye Wanqing: "Do you want to give them another meal?"
Ye Wanqing took it with a smile: "These koi look very full, it seems that they often have extra meals."
As she spoke, she picked up the fish food and scattered it out of the window one by one. Soon, a group of koi fish gathered happily, vying for this sudden delicacy.
A bag of fish food was quickly finished. Ye Wanqing wiped her hands carefully with the wet towel on the table: "Mrs. Lin's koi should be well-fed, right?"
When Lin Xuan heard her mention Mrs. Lin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Yes, mother feeds them herself every day."
Ye Wanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip: "After raising it for so many years, I must have a lot of feelings for it."
"Yeah." Lin Xuan responded softly, looking at Ye Wanqing tenderly, "The koi in that pond were actually raised by my father when he was young. It's been almost twenty years now."
Ye Wanqing was surprised when she heard this: "No wonder they look so healthy and beautiful."
She knew that koi, if well cared for, could live for twenty to thirty years, or even longer. She had seen the koi at the Lin residence with her own eyes, and they were indeed well-fed and beautiful.
The two chatted while waiting for the arrival of the food. During this time, Lin Xuan answered several phone calls, and Ye Wanqing could feel how busy he was.
After dinner, Ye Wanqing offered to take him back to the company: "You are so busy at work, let me take you home."
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, a warm feeling in his heart.
"You've been with me all morning." Lin Xuan's eyes swept over her lightly. He didn't say much, but it seemed as if everything was implied.
The two of them slowly stood up and were about to walk towards the stairs, but unexpectedly bumped into Xu Xinyi who was walking down from the upstairs.
Xu Xinyi wore a simple yet elegant dress and light makeup, but the surprise and complexity in her eyes were hard to conceal.
Xu Xinyi regained her freedom after the incident half a year ago. She never thought that she would meet Ye Wanqing here today, and she never expected that she would walk side by side with Lin Xuan.
Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her usual calmness and composure: "Miss Ye, it's been a long time."
After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, then turned her gaze to Lin Xuan, with a barely perceptible tenderness in her voice: "Lin Xuan, how are you?"
Lin Xuan's response was brief and cold, just a simple "hmm", but it was enough to show his attitude.
Ye Wanqing had no intention of having an in-depth conversation with Xu Xinyi. After all, the entanglement between them could not be explained in a few words, not to mention that they had been in court.
At this moment, not saying hello may be more appropriate than deliberately greeting each other.
"Ms. Xu." She nodded slightly, her tone distant but polite, and then prepared to turn and leave.
Xu Xinyi's eyes moved back and forth between Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan, as if she was searching for something.
Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Miss Ye and Lin Xuan, they seem to be a perfect match. It seems that good things are about to happen."
Ye Wanqing glanced at her with a hint of disdain in her eyes, not bothering to argue against this groundless speculation. She turned to look at Lin Xuan and said softly, "Let's go."
Lin Xuan didn't even bother to give Xu Xinyi an extra glance. He just nodded slightly and left with Ye Wanqing, leaving Xu Xinyi standing there alone, looking at their backs angrily.
Xu Xinyi's face gradually became distorted, and she whispered: "I really underestimated Ye Wanqing's methods!" Then, she gritted her teeth, took out her cell phone, and dialed a familiar number.
Zhang Duoer had just finished lunch when she received a call from Xu Xinyi, and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Yesterday she took the initiative to contact Xu Xinyi, but the other party hung up the phone in a hurry and said coldly that there was no possibility of cooperation between them.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, Xu Xinyi took the initiative to find her.
Zhang Duoer glanced at her friend sitting opposite her and smiled apologetically: "I'm going to go out and answer a call, you guys talk first."
"Okay, go ahead." The friend responded, but he couldn't help but wonder what kind of call it was that made Zhang Duoer avoid them and answer it.
Zhang Duoer stood up and walked outside the restaurant, finding a quiet place to answer the phone: "Ms. Xu?"
"Ms. Zhang, let's meet." There was a hint of urgency and seriousness in Xu Xinyi's voice.
Hearing Xu Xinyi's proposal, Zhang Duoer raised her eyebrows proudly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "Didn't Miss Xu say that there is nothing left to discuss between us?"
Xu Xinyi sneered. She knew Zhang Duoer was teasing her, but she couldn't care less at the moment. "I just met someone while having dinner. Miss Zhang, can you guess who it is?"
Zhang Duo'er's heart moved, and she had already guessed something: "Since Miss Xu took the initiative to call me, she must have met Ye Wanqing."
"Miss Zhang is indeed smart." Xu Xinyi paused and continued, "However, I just met not only Ye Wanqing, but also Lin Xuan."
Zhang Duoer immediately became interested when she heard this: "Oh? Miss Xu, tell me a place and we can meet to discuss it in detail."
Xu Xinyi raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and reported a location.
"Okay, Miss Xu, see you later." Zhang Duoer hung up the phone, with a calculating glint in her eyes.
"See you later." Xu Xinyi responded softly, hung up the phone, and secretly thought about her next plan in her mind.
