“Alright!” Wang Juhuai answered quickly, not even waiting for Xia Qingwei to finish saying the words.
Xia Qingwei smiled, then went to the kitchen to prepare.
Wang Juhuai himself could not sit still. He followed over. “Do you need me to help with anything?”
“Do you know how to?” After hearing what he said, that he had a butler at home as well as helpers, she guessed that he had never done this sort of thing.
“I don’t, but you can teach me,” Wang Juhuai said.
Xia Qingwei shook her head. “There’s no need, you can just sit and wait.”
Xia Qingwei refused to let him help, and Wang Juhuai could only sit at the side.
Seeing how Xia Qingwei was well-practiced, he knew that she was used to it.
But his heart ached.
Lin Jinshu would never know how to do this her whole life.
The reason Xia Qingwei knew how to do this was that she needed to know it. She’d followed Lu Qiyuan, and she did not have good days.
Otherwise, how could she be so well-practiced?
Wang Juhuai ate, but after he finished his meal, he was still unwilling to leave. However, he did not plan on really refusing to leave.
He and Xia Qingwei needed to slowly advance.
He did not want to be too hurried the first time they met in so many years, causing Xia Qingwei to feel that she was not being cherished.
After staying until around nine or so in the evening, Wang Juhuai slowly got up. “I won’t disturb your rest anymore. It’s time for me to leave,” he said as he looked at Xia Qingwei’s face. He wanted to look at it a while longer.
“Where are you staying now?” Xia Qingwei asked.
“I was originally not planning on staying for long, so I’m staying at a hotel.” Wang Juhuai had already walked to the doorway.
“Then you should be careful on the way back,” Xia Qingwei said.
Wang Juhuai nodded. He was standing outside the door now, and Xia Qingwei was standing inside the door. It was full of light inside, and it shone until it seemed very cozy.
He moved his mouth, suddenly wanting to hug her.
“I… May I hug you?”
Xia Qingwei was stunned, yet Wang Juhuai had already taken one step forward, gently pulling her into his embrace.
Xia Qingwei trembled, her body a bit stiff.
Unable to think, she had just relaxed a bit when Wang Juhuai let go of her.
“I’ll go now, then,” Wang Juhuai said.
“You…” Xia Qingwei called him back again. “You drove the car here yourself?”
“No,” Wang Juhuai said with a smile. “I was not planning on staying for long, so I took a cab over here. But you reminded me, I should buy a car.”
Wang Juhuai tilted his head and thought about something, then he asked, “What car do you like?”
Xia Qingwei instinctively said, “I don’t have much understanding of cars.”
As soon as she finished saying that, she felt that something was wrong.
What was the use of asking her opinion about the car he drove?
Wang Juhuai laughed. “Then you should think about it carefully. After all, the main concern is your comfort. I’ll come over again tomorrow to discuss it with you, or the two of us can go to a 4S shop and look at each brand.”
After saying that, without waiting for Xia Qingwei’s objection, he left.
That was great. He managed to find a proper reason for coming tomorrow.
Xia Qingwei missed the chance to call him back. She watched his figure as he entered the lift, then sighed helplessly.
Just now, she really was about to open her mouth and invite him to stay over.
Anyway, the house had a guest room, which was originally prepared for Han Zhuoli.
But Han Zhuoli had never stayed in it. He kept staying in Lu Man’s room.
Xia Qingwei saw that it was late. Wang Juhuai had not come home for many years and was not familiar with the people or the place, so she felt a bit uneasy.
But he left so fast, and she did not even get the chance to call him back.
What about Wang Juhuai, though?
He was happily in the lift, grateful for his intelligence.
He felt that it was especially great that he had a reason to come tomorrow!
He did not know at all that he missed the chance to stay over.
