To her surprise, Dongfang Yu didnât seem to mind at all. He smiled and said: âThatâs right, itâs my fortune.â
Wen Jingheng was slightly taken aback, then realized that Dongfang Yu truly loved Hai Xiaotang.
Otherwise, a person like him wouldnât make such a statement.
No wonder he was so determined to defend the Hai Family in the past.
After chatting with them for a while, Wen Jingheng stood up to leave.
Hai Xiaotang quickly said, âBrother Wen, why donât you stay for a meal? Lunch is almost ready.â
Hai Zhiyuan also urged him to stay, âJingheng, you have taken care of me for so long and even accompanied me home. I havenât had the chance to properly thank you, so please stay for lunch.â
Wen Jingheng politely declined, âSir, I wonât stay for a meal. I have something important to do, so I need to go now. If I have a chance in the future, Iâll come to visit you again.â
No matter how much Hai Xiaotang and Hai Zhiyuan insisted, he was still determined to leave.
Dongfang Yu said in a low voice, âIâll see him off, Xiaotang, you stay here and keep Grandpa company.â
âOh,â Hai Xiaotang nodded and waved to Wen Jingheng, âTake care, Brother Wen. Please come to visit us when you have time!â
âWill do.â Wen Jingheng smiled, then left with Dongfang Yu.
However, Hai Xiaotang soon noticed that Wen Jingheng had left his lighter on the coffee table.
Still puzzled, she asked, âGrandpa, is this yours or Brother Wenâs?â
Hai Zhiyuan recognized it as Wen Jinghengâs right away.
âHe must have not left yet; Iâll take it to him!â Hai Xiaotang picked up the lighter and hurriedly ran out.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to step out of the front door, she heard Wen Jingheng and Dongfang Yu talking outside.
Wen Jingheng, his voice low, asked: âWen Yue has been mentioning you recently, when are you planning to visit her?â
Upon hearing this, Hai Xiaotangâs steps faltered!
Who was Wen Yue?
Dongfang Yu casually responded, âIâll think about it when I have time!â
âBut Wen Yue has mentioned thatâ¦â
âYou donât need to worry about my business.â Dongfang Yu quickly cut off Wen Jinghengâs words.
Wen Jingheng nodded, âWell, itâs up to you then.â
With that, he got in the car and drove off.
Dongfang Yu stood still for a moment before he returned to the living room.
However, moments after he entered, he realized that Hai Xiaotang was nowhere to be found. Dongfang Yu asked, puzzled, âGrandpa, where is Xiaotang?â
âShe just went to the bathroom,â Hai Zhiyuan replied.
Hai Xiaotang, hiding in the bathroom, was in a state of panic as the conversation between Dongfang Yu and Wen Jingheng played over and over in her mind.
She wasnât a fool; she knew that Wen Yue must be a woman.
And she had to be of the same generation as Wen Jingheng, otherwise he wouldnât address her directly by name.
Since they both had the same surname of Wen, she must belong to the Wen Family in B City.
It wasnât surprising that Dongfang Yu knew them. After all, he had collaborated with them to bring down their hidden enemy this time.
But what was the relationship between him and Wen Yue? Were they partners, friends, or something else�
Hai Xiaotang was sure that they were at least friends.
Otherwise, Wen Jingheng wouldnât have said that Wen Yue was always mentioning Dongfang Yu and asked when he was going to B City.
However, why was Wen Yue constantly mentioning Dongfang Yu, and why was she looking forward to his visit to B City?
What exactly was happening between them?
Hai Xiaotang couldnât stop herself from letting her mind wander, but she dared not assume.
She didnât want to wrong Dongfang Yu, and she didnât want to doubt him. Because he truly loved her and she must trust him.
