Chapter 285: To Be Able To Join In Because Of Shen Jongyi Had Put Great Lord Wei In A Bad Mood.

Wei Zilin lowered his head and chuckled lightly, causing goosebumps to appear all over Xu Moyan’s back. The slow wave of trembles surged all the way to the top of her head.

Eventually, all she could hear was Wei Zilin’s voice and his breathing. She began to blank out as she listened to Lin Chu speak, and was not even aware of what she was saying to her.

Afterward, Lin Chu began chatting with Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong while Yan Beicheng talked with Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi.

Wei Zilin’s vibrant and clear voice rang through her ears from time to time, as if a feather was gently tickling the inside of her ears. It was squeamish and numbing, causing the half of her body that was next to Wei Zilin to continuously tremble.

Every so often, she heard Wei Zilin’s light laughter, and it was sweet torture for her.

The more she listened to it, the more she came to like him, and the harder it became to ignore.

The average person had to be very careful in their pursuit of these types of extraordinary gentleman. They could neither advance nor retreat too much when dealing with them.

They had not expected Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi to be here today, since they were supposed to have Shen Zongyi over as a guest today. Since the person in question was right next to them at the moment, Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan were no longer in a rush and did not worry about their timing at all.

Eventually, Shen Zongyi was the one to check the time. Wei Zilin sitting beside him and turned his head to ask, “Do you have something else to attend to

Shen Zongyi nodded and said with an honest expression. “I’m going over to Zheng Yuntong’s place for a meal later.”

Zheng Yuntong, “…”

It was not that Shen Zongyi was lying since she was indeed supposed to have Shen Zongyi over at around noon today. Shen Zongyi had answered it very straightforwardly and did not appear to hide any ambiguous intentions in his statement. Nevertheless, the way he said it could not help but make other’s imaginations run wild.

Even she began to have an entirely different idea of their relationship just from the way he said this. She herself felt as if the relationship between the two had reached a fairly close level, what more for someone who was looking from the outside in!

Sure enough, Lin Chu’s eyes brightened up as she looked intensely toward Zheng Yuntong’s direction. The words were clearly written in her expression, ‘When did you two develop into such an adulterous relationship? Yet you’re still refusing to own up to the facts!’

Yan Beicheng was even more straightforward. He looked directly at Sheng Zongyi and Zheng Yuntong. Then, he nodded and said a single word, “Congrats.”

Zheng Yuntong, “…”

What was he congratulating them about!

He was just coming over for a meal!

Wei Zilin lifted his wrist up and looked at the time. “I think it’s time to go. Otherwise, you’ll end up eating dinner together instead.”

Shen Zongyi also thought that it was a reasonable time to leave. Thus, he immediately stood up and tried to bid the group farewell.

As a result, Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan likewise had no reason to stay back any longer since they were supposed to be the host for the day. When they looked at the time, they agreed that it was about time to leave too.

Wei Zilin left along with them. While they were passing through the corridor, Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong were walking in front and could not help but focus their attention on the two persons walking behind them.

Even if Xu Moyan could not see him, she was still paying attention to Wei Zilin’s voice.

Then, she heard Shen Zongyi asking him whether he had something to do later.

“Nothing much. Probably just going to go home and stay there for the day.” Wei Zilin said with a gentle and shy voice. It carried a pitiful tone to it.

Listening to his voice, Xu Moyan could not help but picture a pitiful puppy drooping its tail and lowering its head due to a lack of companionship; it was all alone at home and seemed exceptionally lonely. What a terribly depressing scene.

Although Wei Zilin was not a professional voice actor, the emotions in his voice were so intense. It was a pity that he did not have more work under his name since he was a naturally gifted voice actor.

Nevertheless, the picture in her brain was obviously different from Wei Zilin’s actual temperament. Even though Wei Zilin was a lone dog, he was not at all pitiful. It was just that his voice had made others overlook his original traits; in a sense, his voice had upstaged his temperament.

Xu Moyan almost lost herself to her impulses. She wanted to walk right in front of him and pat on his head before telling him that he was not going to be lonely.

Fortunately, she was able to restrain herself in time. Consequently, she heard Shen Zongyi say, “Why don’t you just come with me to Zheng Yuntong’s house for a meal.”

“Miss Xu, will you mind if I bring along another person?” Shen Zongyi suddenly called out Xu Moyan’s name.

Based on Zheng Yuntong’s trait of being a hearty eater that was unable to cook, Xu Moyan must have been the one that was cooking for them even though Zheng Yuntong was the one that had invited him over.

Wei Zilin glanced toward Shen Zongyi silently. He felt that he had somewhat become indebted to Shen Zongyi and quietly calculated Shen Zongyi’s bonus this month. Then, he started to consider whether or not he needed to deduct it a little.

Even if Shen Zongyi was only helping him out, Wei Zilin decided to sweep this thought away and overlook the matter.

In short, to only be able to join in because of Shen Jongyi put Great Lord Wei in a bad mood.

Xu Moyan was surprised when her name was called out so suddenly. She abruptly jumped before turning around to look at Shen Zongyi, and then at Wei Zilin.

Wei Zilin had a gentle smile on his face and a kind look in his eyes. It was as if all the affection in the entire world had accumulated inside of those two eyes.

Shen Zongyi stared at Wei Zilin strangely. He usually worked alongside Wei Zilin every single day, and he spent more time with him than even his own parents. He knew that Wei Zilin was not a gentle person. Not to say he had a bad temper, but he was not one to greet someone with a smile.

After all, he had so bluntly rejected Liang Wenyin who was chasing after him. Just from this, one would immediately know that he was not the type to be so gentle and soft at merely anyone.

Zheng Yuntong was not as calm as she stood, stunned, at the side. Although she did not see the boss as often as Shen Zongyi, she also knew that the boss was a serious and stern man. Could he just have been maintaining the image of being an untouchable boss whenever he was at the company? Was the boss actually a very approachable, gentle, and kind person in private?

Zheng Yuntong glanced at Wei Zilin suspiciously. That face really did look gentler than usual.

“Does Miss Xu mind if I tag along?” Wei Zilin asked with a smile.

Xu Moyan unconsciously thought of the movie ‘Massacre’. Qi Shaofeng had hid his identity to enter the rivers and lakes, where his white clothes had danced lightly behind him, making him look like a son of nobility. His voice back then sounded elegant, gorgeous, and euphemistic. The words he spoke somehow carried a bright tone to it, and he was nothing if not charming.

Xu Moyan wanted to reply that if this voice were to ask her of anything, even if he wanted her to be his nanny, then she would happily agree to it, let alone to eat a single meal.

She nodded without the slightest hesitation. “No problem, you’re welcome to join us.”

She turned around quickly after finishing her sentences to try to hide the embarrassment on her face. Did she agree too fast just now? How unreserved of her.

Had she revealed all of her thoughts?!

Zheng Yuntong was walking next to her. She did not understand why Xu Moyan was being antsy all of a sudden, so she whispered, “What’s wrong with you?”

“…” Xu Moyan paused, “Why? What’s wrong with me?”

“You’re being weird.” Zheng Yuntong said in a low voice.

Xu Moyan was about to cry. “Did I behave too unnaturally?”

Zheng Yuntong understood her feelings a bit better now and quickly comforted her, “It was fine. I only noticed because we’re close to each other. The boss is not that familiar with you, so he’s not going to notice.”

Xu Moyan mumbled something under her breath and covered her face. These words were not comforting in the slightest.

…

Once they came out, they noticed the little snowflakes floating about outside. Xu Moyan recalled the time when she had opened the door and saw the layer of snow on the two persons’ shoulders earlier.

“It’s snowing.” Zheng Yuntong said happily. Although the snowflakes were tiny, they were still pleasantly surprised.

She reached her hand out to catch the snowflakes, and it quickly melted on her palm, turning into a small spot of water.

Shen Zongyi took off his leather gloves and put it on Zheng Yuntong’s hands. “How’d you catch it like that? Is it not cold?”

The heat from Shen Zongyi’s hands was still lingering inside the gloves, and the warmness felt as though it had seeped right into her heart.

Zheng Yuntong’s face unknowingly flushed red. It could have been due to the cold wind blowing on it, or perhaps she was simply embarrassed. At the same time, her hands stayed in the same position as she seemed to have forgotten how to retract it. Her mouth foolishly hung open as she stood there in shock.

Wei Zilin’s gaze grew cold at the sight of this. He wanted to tell Shen Zongyi not to start a competition he was not prepared to fight.

However, due to Shen Zongyi’s action, it seemed at though he could not care less about being dignified.

Wei Zilin shifted his gaze and looked at Xu Moyan’s hands. He looked on as Xu Moyan took out a pair of gloves from her bag without saying a word before putting it on herself.

Wei Zilin, “…”

Once Xu Moyan put them on, she noticed Wei Zilin’s gaze that was focused on her hands and curiously asked him. “Mr. Wei, did you not bring your gloves?”

Why on earth would he be staring at her hands for?

“…” Wei Zilin took out his leather gloves from the inner pocket of his outerwear and put them on. Then, he asked a little gloomily, “How did you two come here?”

Upon hearing the question, Zheng Yuntong regained her senses back and noticed that her hands were still stretched out. Meanwhile, Shen Zongyi’s gloves had been covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.

She retracted her hand with a blushing face. Then, she tried to take the gloves off but was promptly stopped by Shen Zongyi. “Just keep them on.”

Zheng Yuntong felt her face burning up as she looked down at her hands. His gloves were huge, and it felt loose on her hands. The part where her fingertips should have been was completely empty, and the gloves seemed to be slipping off.

Shen Zongyi’s body heat could still be felt in the gloves, so it was as if he were holding her hand.

Zheng Yuntong felt her heart thumping loudly in her chest as she searched for a proper position to place her hands.

Meanwhile, Xu Moyan responded to Wei Zilin’s question, “We took the subway.”

“Both Shen Zongyi and I drove here, so we’ll drive you guys back.” Wei Zilin smiled, and for some reason, felt satisfied with himself.

Since they were heading in the same destination, Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong did not reject his offer. On the contrary, Xu Moyan was very happy to have more opportunities to spend time with her idol.
