Chapter 140 - 140: Pretty Everywhere
“You don’t need to.”
Li Wenjin’s gaze sharpened. “Understood.”
Shen Ru realized her tone had been too harsh earlier and softened her voice.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s part of the job; 1 won’t dare to complain.”
The woman sighed softly as if feeling sentimental. “I’m glad to have had you all these years.”
Li Wenjin’s eyes softened. “Manager Shen…”
“Alright,” Shen Ru interrupted him, “there’s nothing else. You can go back to work.”
Li Wenjin’s eyes dimmed slightly, a hint of disappointment, but he didn’t attempt to say more. He nodded and left the room.
Shen Ru didn’t pay much attention to his expression. Her thoughts had already drifted away, recalling the brief encounter at the annual banquet, the powerful aura of that man…
Simultaneously, the mental picture of him and Shen Wan dancing closely together filled her thoughts—so affectionate, yet so difficult to witness!
Why did it have to be Shen Wan?!
This was supposed to be her chance, her opportunity, and it had been forcefully taken away…
Perhaps, from that moment on, Shen Ru found herself compelled to reevaluate and assess her half-sister, Shen Wan. She abandoned her indifferent attitude and disdain.
The question remained: How could a simple woman capture Quan Hanting’s attention? How could she make him extend a personal invitation?
Shen Wan, whether you’re a saint or a sinner, 1 will uncover your true nature for everyone to see!
Approaching noon, He Huai called Shen Wan to invite her for lunch.
“…This restaurant is very hard to book. 1 queued for a week in advance to get a reservation. Please, do me a favor and accept my invitation.”
“Alright, send me the address.”
“No need! I’ll wait for you downstairs at the office building at 11:30. Don’t stand me up.” He hung up quickly, as if afraid she would change her mind.
11:20.
Shen Wan went downstairs, and as soon as she stepped out of the revolving door, she saw He Huai leaning casually against the front of a McLaren Pl, dressed in casual attire, wearing stylish shades, looking handsome and a bit roguish.
“Wan Wan!” He beamed a brilliant smile when his eyes met hers, then straightened up and walked briskly towards her.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No…” He only waited for an hour.
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow and didn’t press further.
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow but didn’t press further. He Huai opened the passenger door for her, and with one hand on the car roof, he grinned and said, “Please, Miss Shen.”
Shen Wan settled into her seat, and when He Huai tried to help her fasten the seatbelt, she calmly stopped him, saying, “I’ll do it myself.”
“Alright.” His attempt at being chivalrous failed.
The restaurant wasn’t far, but there was some traffic at this hour, causing occasional delays on the highway. Surprisingly, He Huai didn’t lose his temper. Instead, he occasionally glanced at her with sweetness blooming from the depths of his heart.
Why was she so stunning?
Beautiful eyes, a beautiful nose, a beautiful mouth—she was beautiful everywhere!
He Huai had never felt this way before. No matter how he looked at a person, he couldn’t find any faults. Even if others presented convincing arguments and pointed out flaws, he couldn’t see anything but perfection.
“I’m not a road.”
“Huh?” He Huai’s heart skipped a beat; damn, her voice sounded so pleasant.
Shen Wan chuckled. “So, there’s no need to look at me.”
I’m not a road, so there’s no need to look at me.
Um…
He Huai wore an embarrassed smile. So, had he been caught red-handed?
“I-I’m looking!” he replied, unable to resist stealing another glance. “Y-You’re really… beautiful.”
Shen Wan couldn’t help but laugh at his mischievous expression, and her smile grew wider.
He Huai’s heart instantly turned as soft as cotton candy.. It was a sweet, overwhelming sensation!
