The Long-awaited Mr Han

When they got around to asking Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai, Yuan Jiangyi waved his hand. "Don't order for us yet."

After he said that, Yuan Jianyi and Hao Donghuai rushed over to Wei Wucai.

The two people each grabbed one of Wei Wucai's arms.

Yuan Jiangyi then said in a low voice, "Are we not going to look for Zhiqing?"

"You're willing to just watch her leave with Chen Zeqing?" Hao Donghuai asked right after.

Wei Wucai was speechless.

"Who's a 'we' with you guys? I'm going to look for Zhiqing. Why are you guys following me? Stay here and eat with Han Zhuofeng and the others," Wei Wucai said.

While he went to find Yan Zhiqing, were these two people going to be watching and gossipping at the side?

Did he need to prepare some popcorn for them too?

"You're going to look for Zhiqing?" Yuan Jiangyi immediately selectively ignored the latter part of what Wei Wucai had said. "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made the two of us worry about you."

"Then don't just stand around blankly. Hurry up and go!" Hao Donghuai urged.

Wei Wucai had no other choice. If he didn't let them follow him, they would just pretend like they never heard him.

What else could he do?

"It's not…" Wei Wucai felt helpless. "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you two to want to be around when I want to talk with Zhiqing alone?"

"Listen to what you're saying." Yuan Jiangyi rolled his eyes.

Wei Wucai thought that this guy had finally gained a bit of perceptiveness and realized it would be inconvenient for Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing if he were to be around.

Unexpectedly, Wei Wucai then heard Yuan Jiangyi say, "Zhiqing might not even be willing to talk to you, let alone talk with you alone. You think it's going to go so well?"

Wei Wucai was speechless.

"So, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to watch from the side while the two of you talk alone." Yuan Jiangyi's face was showing an expression that said, "What kind of beautiful scene are you thinking of?"

Wei Wucai took a deep breath. It took a lot of effort for him to finally persuade himself not to beat up Yuan Jiangyi right now.

Yuan Jiangyi was seriously…

What nonsensical major truth was he talking about?!

"So are you going or not?" Hao Donghuai urged from beside them. He couldn't bear waiting any longer.

Wei Wucai felt so mentally fatigued that he didn't want to continue speaking to the two of them. Filled with the thought of abandoning himself to despair, he agreed to let them accompany him.

Consequently, the three people arrived before Yan Zhiqing's van together.

That was when they discovered that Shi Xiaoya, Han Zhuofeng, and the others had also come over.

Fang Qiaohan was even carrying a diet-plan meal. It was obvious with one glance that it was for Yan Zhiqing.

This was because Fang Qiaohan didn't eat those kinds of meals.

Wei Wucai was slightly astounded as he entered the van.

Inside, he saw Yan Zhiqing sitting down at a small dining table.

Immediately after, Fang Qiaohan brought over Yan Zhiqing's lunch.

When Yan Zhiqing saw Wei Wucai enter, she raised her eyebrows but didn't say a word.

Just as Fang Qiaohan was about to sit with Yan Zhiqing, she saw Wei Wucai and stopped.

Fang Qiaohan turned around with a stiff expression and gave the empty seat to Wei Wucai.

Yuan Jiangyi secretly gave Fang Qiaohan a big thumbs up.

Fang Qiaohan was very perceptive.

Wei Wucai sat down opposite Yan Zhiqing.

Yan Zhiqing glanced at him coolly, but she ultimately remained in her seat.

Of course, even if she wanted to change seats, there weren't any other seats for her to move to.

All of the other seats were already filled.

Yan Zhiqing lowered her head and ate a piece of boiled beef. Then she heard Wei Wucai say, "You aren't eating with Chen Zeqing?"

Yan Zhiqing almost let out a grim laugh.

Wei Wucai had heard it in the morning, but he hadn't asked about it then.

So why was he asking about it now?

"No," Yan Zhiqing said coldly.

Actually, Wei Wucai couldn't resist bursting with joy when he saw that Yan Zhiqing was here and that she hadn't left with Chen Zeqing.

It was indescribable joy.

He was so happy that his heart felt like it would jump out.

Yan Zhiqing's reply was cold, but it did not extinguish the happiness in Wei Wucai's heart.

On the contrary, it made him increasingly happy.

Wei Wucai couldn't stop the corners of his lips from rising. They curved up and then back down.

After that, they curved back up again.

Yan Zhiqing's head was lowered, so she didn't see that.

However, everyone else was paying close attention to the two of them and saw Wei Wucai's transformation very clearly.

They watched the corners of his lips rise and fall like he had a cramp.

Wei Wucai couldn't help keeping his smile as he asked, "Why didn't you go?"

Yan Zhiqing initially wanted to ignore him, but she ultimately couldn't resist responding.

Without even raising her head, she said coldly, "Why are you asking about it now?"

Why didn't he ask earlier?

Wei Wucai's gaze lit up, and he couldn't restrain himself from leaning across the table towards her.

His interpretation of her words was that she was very unhappy because he hadn't asked her about it in the morning.

Did she think that meant he didn't really care about her?

The fact that she thought this way showed she cared about him a lot.

Wei Wucai couldn't hold back his joy, and the corners of his lips curved up again. Then he explained, "I didn't ask you in the morning because Chen Zeqing was present. I was afraid you would feel I was pressuring you again if I had asked you in front of him, so I didn't dare ask."

Yan Zhiqing raised her eyebrows slightly. "And if I had gone?"

Wei Wucai was silent for a moment before he asked, "Would you get angry if I were to speak honestly?"

"You can try. I'll see if it's something to get angry over," Yan Zhiqing said.

Wei Wucai hesitated briefly. Then he said carefully, "If you had truly gone with him, I would definitely have followed you there. Even if the two of you didn't welcome me, I would have still wanted to go."

Wei Wucai pursed his lips. "I won't let the two of you be alone together, even if it's just to have a meal."

Hearing Wei Wucai say this, Yan Zhiqing ought to get angry.

The two of them had yet to even establish any romantic relationship, yet he was already this overbearing.

He even wanted to interfere with her friendships.

What did it have to do with him if she were to eat alone with someone?

He had the attitude of wanting to wreck any relations she had, regardless of who she was with.

What if she met someone she truly liked? He would also want to wreck that.

She should definitely get angry since this possibility did exist.

However, she just couldn't get angry. On the contrary, she became really happy.

This was because she liked him.

Thus, the way he did his best to get close to her and wreck whatever relations she was having showed he cared about her.

Yan Zhiqing's mood got a lot better, unlike when she was feeling really depressed in the morning.

At this time, she heard Wei Wucai ask her again, "Why didn't you go?"

Yan Zhiqing didn't raise her head this time either, but she replied, "Why must I go?"

She fell silent for a while. Then she said, "I know his gaze isn't pure. His sense of intimacy, the way he looks at me, and the way he treats me… I don't like all of it. Additionally, if I were to have a meal with him alone… who knows if he would deliberately call paparazzi over to follow us and take our photographs to create scandals?"

She added, "I have nothing much to say to him."

Even if she were angry with Wei Wucai, she wouldn't give another man a chance.

She clearly knew what the other party's intention was, so why would she spend time alone with him?

Moreover, she had no intention to develop any sort of relationship with him, and she had even less of a need to deliberately use this sort of thing to anger Wei Wucai.

Furthermore, Chen Zeqing's character was one filled with ulterior motives, and they were absolutely malicious ones at that.

Yan Zhiqing didn't want to give him a chance at all in order to avoid trouble.
