“When your lie gets exposed and she finds out you deceived her, and then thinks about how she stopped worrying so much about her interactions with you because she thought you were gay…
“Do you think she’ll forgive you after thinking about all these things?” Yan Beicheng admonished.
Wei Wucai said coldly, “You’re holding me in too much contempt. I definitely won’t use this as a pretext to take advantage of her. I’m not that despicable.”
“Ah.” Yan Beicheng did not care about Wei Wucai’s guarantee. “In any case, I’ll be keeping watch. If I find out that you dared to seize the opportunity to take advantage of her, I will tell her the truth.”
After saying that, Yan Beicheng said nothing more and got out of the van, leaving to find Lin Chu and Yan Zhiqing.
Wei Wucai also followed him out.
They saw Yan Zhiqing walking with Lin Chu in the distance.
Before, Wei Wucai had already liked being with Yan Zhiqing.
Now that he had gained an understanding of his own feelings, he suddenly felt as if his view of the world had opened up to a wide panorama screen the moment he saw Yan Zhiqing again.
His whole mood changed.
Once he saw her face, Wei Wucai could not help smiling.
When Yan Beicheng called out to Lin Chu, both Yan Zhiqing and Lin Chu turned towards him.
The timing was just right for them to see Wei Wucai’s smile.
Yan Beicheng was walking ahead of Wei Wucai, so he did not see it.
Upon accidentally seeing Wei Wucai’s smile, Yan Zhiqing blanked out.
Wei Wucai seemed… He seemed to be smiling at her specifically.
His expression was filled with warmth as he gazed at her with full attention.
Yan Zhiqing could not quite put her finger on it, but she just felt that there was something different about him.
Earlier, Yan Beicheng and Wei Wucai had not followed her and Lin Chu out. Instead, they had remained in Yan Zhiqing’s van.
So she thought, “Perhaps the two of them have something to discuss.”
Consequently, the two men finally came over only after a long period of time.
They must have spoken about a lot.
Who knows what the two people talked about that could have caused Wei Wucai to look like this upon emerging from the van?
Under Wei Wucai’s gaze, Yan Zhiqing’s face began to flush uncontrollably.
The current weather had clearly already turned cold, but her face was so hot that it was as if she had been standing in an intensely sunny spot.
The expression in Wei Wucai’s gaze… was just her own misconception, right?
When Yan Zhiqing looked at him again, his expression had, as expected, already returned to normal.
There were no abnormalities to be found.
Once Yan Beicheng and Wei Wucai had walked over, Yan Zhiqing asked, “Brother, what did you talk about that it took you such a long time?”
Yan Zhiqing was really afraid that Yan Beicheng had warned Wei Wucai to keep his distance from her.
Initially, their relationship was just that of friends.
However, after hearing Yan Beicheng say so much about it, their relationship became very awkward.
“Nothing special.” Yan Beicheng did not tell Yan Zhiqing much.
Yan Zhiqing knew that she would not be able to get an answer out of her brother, so she dropped behind by a step to walk with Wei Wucai.
She asked him quietly, “My older brother didn’t say anything to make you feel awkward, did he?”
Wei Wucai appeared as if he did not understand and asked in return, “Make me feel awkward? Like what?”
How could Yan Zhiqing possibly say it out loud?
What if Yan Beicheng had not mentioned it and she said it now? Would that not just make things even more awkward?
Yan Zhiqing pursed her lips and said, “It’s nothing.”
After walking for a while, Yan Zhiqing asked again, “Then what did he say to you? If it’s a work matter and you’re not at liberty to say, it’s fine if you don’t.”
“It’s not a work matter,” Wei Wucai lied without even blinking an eye. “It’s just that, since he knows I’m working here as well, he asked me to look after you more and to help you if anyone bullies you.”
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
Really?
Yan Beicheng said that?
But given Yan Beicheng’s attitude before, he should have been eager for her to keep a distance from Wei Wucai.
