The second stop of the sightseeing bus was the gorgeous flower field that Zhao Jinyu mentioned. The four of them slowly got off the vehicle and were greeted by the brilliant midday sun, with golden light shining unreservedly.
Ye Wanqing raised her eyes slightly and squinted her clear eyes involuntarily to adapt to the sudden brightness.
She turned her head and saw Qin Zhuyu beside her, who had thoughtfully opened an exquisite parasol. A gentle smile played on her lips. "Sunscreen is the only way to keep your skin white!"
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile and said softly, "Then give it to me. I'm taller than you, so it will be easier for me to hold it up."
Qin Zhuyu readily agreed and handed the umbrella to Ye Wanqing. Then she turned her gaze to Zhao Jinyu and Li Mingzhi and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, do you need an umbrella? Unfortunately, I only brought one."
Zhao Jinyu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a somewhat unruly look in his eyes: "No need, you two can share it."
It is March now, and the flowers are in full bloom. The flower fields seem like a palette carefully arranged by nature. Every flower is gorgeous and attractive, attracting countless tourists to stop and take pictures.
Zhao Jinyu looked at Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu and suggested, "Do you need my help to record this beautiful moment?"
Qin Zhuyu looked back playfully, with a hint of joking in her tone: "Is Mr. Zhao's photography skill reliable?" Zhao Jinyu smiled confidently: "How can we know if we don't try it?"
Qin Zhuyu turned to Ye Wanqing and acted coquettishly: "Wanqing, take a picture with me. I finally got out to relax."
Ye Wanqing was a little hesitant. She was not keen on taking photos, but Qin Zhuyu's enthusiasm made it difficult for her to refuse.
Seeing this, Qin Zhuyu simply took her hand and said coquettishly: "Just one photo, let us leave behind the beautiful memories of this trip!"
Ye Wanqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and handed the umbrella to Zhao Jinyu, who then handed it to Li Mingzhi.
Qin Zhuyu pulled Ye Wanqing into a sea of gorgeous tulips and gently instructed her, "Wanqing, squat a little, it will make you look more adorable."
Ye Wanqing squatted down obediently, her elegant long skirt brushing the ground gently. Qin Zhuyu helped her lift the hem of her skirt with concern. They smiled at each other and made a scissors hand gesture.
After the shooting was completed, Qin Zhuyu carefully checked the photos, her eyes full of satisfaction. Although her skills were not top-notch, they recorded the warm moments of the two of them.
Li Mingzhi returned the umbrella to Ye Wanqing and casually asked, "Ms. Ye doesn't seem too keen on taking pictures?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly, with a gentle smile: "I'm just not used to myself in front of the camera."
Li Mingzhi smiled and replied, "Jinyu said you spend most of your time at home writing. Do all writers have a fear of the camera?"
Ye Wanqing smiled and asked, "Mr. Li, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Li Mingzhi shook his head slightly, his smile tinged with admiration. "If everyone is like Miss Ye, then camera phobia might be a cute trait."
Ye Wanqing chuckled and walked towards Qin Zhuyu holding an umbrella: "Let's go over there and continue looking."
Before they finished speaking, a familiar voice interrupted their conversation: "Qin Zhuyu, Ye Wanqing!"
The person who came was Qin Huai, followed by Lin Xuan, Zhao Yu and his group.
Qin Huai greeted loudly from a distance, attracting the attention of tourists around.
Qin Zhuyu couldn't help but cover her face with her hands and urged in a low voice: "Let's retreat quickly!"
Ye Wanqing maintained an elegant smile and nodded gently to Qin Huai as he approached: "Mr. Qin, what a coincidence."
Qin Huai smiled brightly, as if he and Zhao Jinyu were old acquaintances. "What a coincidence! Are you also here to enjoy the flowers?"
Zhao Jinyu nodded politely, his eyes swept over Lin Xuan, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Qin Huai suggested: "Have you finished your tour? If not, why not come together? It will be more lively with more people!"
Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu spoke almost at the same time, but gave completely opposite answers: "We've finished shopping." and "We haven't."
The two's answers were obviously intended to conceal some kind of tacit understanding. Qin Huai chuckled and without saying anything, he hooked his arm around Qin Zhuyu's shoulder: "Qin Zhuyu, come here, I have something to tell you."
Qin Zhuyu struggled and said, "Brother, don't do this, everyone is watching!"
Qin Huai ignored her objection and pulled her aside. After making sure they were far enough apart, he whispered, "What's wrong with you? Why do you hide when you see me?"
Qin Zhuyu rolled her eyes. "Do you think I was avoiding you on purpose? As soon as we arrived at the villa, you followed us. Isn't this too coincidental?"
"Team building, what are you doing?" Qin Huai's words were filled with helplessness, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Zhuyu, as if he wanted to knock her on the head, but Qin Zhuyu nimbly turned sideways and easily avoided his "attack".
"Brother, you knew that Wanqing and I didn't want you to come with us, so you still dared to follow?" Qin Zhuyu's tone was a little provocative, and there was a cunning light in her eyes.
Qin Huai frowned upon hearing this, his tone tinged with reproach, "Girl, you're going there knowing there's a tiger there? Don't you know who Zhao Jinyu is? His reputation as a playboy isn't undeserved!"
Qin Zhuyu immediately retorted, "I don't care what Zhao Jinyu did in the past, but now he's genuinely interested in Wanqing. Didn't you see? He arranged this trip just to spend more time with Wanqing. Aren't you just adding to the chaos by following us?"
Qin Huai was even more furious when he heard this: "You are really asking for trouble! Can you tell whether Zhao Jinyu is good or bad?
Although Lin Xuan was cold towards Wan Qing during those six years, that was because of the contract marriage, so it was understandable. You are so eager to push Wan Qing to Zhao Jinyu now, what if he is another Lin Xuan?
Qin Zhuyu was furious when she heard this: "I saw how Lin Xuan treated Wanqing in those six years, and it hurt my heart. Contract marriage?
Can we just pretend nothing happened after the contract ends? Wanqing paid so much for him, but what did she get in the end? Although Zhao Jinyu seems to be fickle now, at least he is sincere to Wanqing, and that is enough! "
Qin Huai looked at Qin Zhuyu's determined eyes and felt helpless. He knew that Qin Zhuyu's feelings for Ye Wanqing were deep and unquestionable.
Seeing that Qin Huai was speechless for a moment, Qin Zhuyu took the opportunity to run away, and happened to catch Zhao Yu asking Ye Wanqing about the next itinerary arrangements.
She quickly interrupted with a playful tone, "Just enjoy your company's team building. We'll just go and have some fun on our own. After all, we're not employees of your company, so it wouldn't be nice to interfere with your activities."
Zhao Yu and the others quickly waved their hands and explained, "No, no! Team building is all about deepening friendships. Miss Qin is right, more people means more fun!"
After all, with Ye Wanqing's presence, the atmosphere of team building will undoubtedly be more unique and memorable!
Ye Wanqing glanced at Lin Xuan, who remained silent the entire time, and said in a soft but decisive voice, "Zhu Yu is right. Let's just go our separate ways. You will naturally have your own arrangements for your team-building activities."
Although her tone was calm, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Xuan after she finished speaking. Then she picked up the umbrella and turned away gracefully.
Qin Huai was a little flustered when he saw this, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Why didn't you ask to stay?"
Lin Xuan just glanced at him indifferently, and asked with a hint of alienation: "What should I try to keep?"
This attitude was undoubtedly intentional on his part.
After that, Ye Wanqing, Zhao Jinyu, Qin Zhuyu and others never met Lin Xuan and his group again.
After leaving the gorgeous sea of flowers, the four of them casually strolled around the area. In the blink of an eye, the clock had quietly pointed to noon, and they took a sightseeing bus back to the hotel for a hearty lunch.
Lunch was a seafood buffet carefully prepared by the hotel. Qin Zhuyu has a special liking for seafood. When she heard about the seafood buffet, she immediately picked up her mobile phone excitedly and took a lot of tempting photos of the food.
Ye Wanqing had no habit of taking pictures. She just sat there quietly, waiting patiently for Qin Zhuyu to finish taking the pictures.
Li Mingzhi, who was sitting next to her, quietly observed her and couldn't help asking, "Miss Ye, don't you like to share your life on WeChat Moments?"
"I'm not used to updating my status frequently." Ye Wanqing replied with a smile.
After taking a photo, Qin Zhuyu looked up at Li Mingzhi across from her and said jokingly, "Mr. Li, you seem to be very interested in Wanqing!"
Li Mingzhi smiled brightly. "Nowadays, many girls like to take photos to record every detail of their lives. I'm just a little curious that Miss Ye doesn't take photos."
