Chapter 808: Chapter 805
Wen Xian, holding her phone, stood up, walked to the window, and finalized the timing as she spoke with him.
Li Zaijun thought about the "revenge plan" and felt slightly better. It wasn’t that she was being dramatic or making a scene; she didn’t take his calls simply because she had finally opened her heart to accept someone new, to accept him. But then, his ex-girlfriend had actually visited his home.
No matter the reason, the fact that they were still in contact was something she couldn’t accept.
Wen Xian knew she was feeling hurt deep down, so she was trying to help her vent.
But truthfully, both she and Lu Xiao knew that Shen Lin was serious; otherwise, they would not have allowed him to get close to their younger cousin. Shen Lin knew the boundaries.
In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.
Wen Xian had booked a hotel early. The restaurant at the hotel was local five-star cuisine, where the steak and French foie gras were particularly delicious. An elegantly poised pianist sitting there, with charmingly set lighting, made it incredibly romantic.
Li Zaijun had not been staying at the Siheyuan these last few days, choosing to stay outside because she didn’t want Shen Lin to find her after what had happened, a matter now known to everyone.
As for Shen Lin, she hadn’t blocked or silenced him; she just left his messages unread and unanswered.
But, honestly, Li Zaijun was disappointed.
He had only made a few calls and sent about a dozen messages, not seeking her out with any urgency, and the content of the messages was not about offering apologies or clarifying what had happened, but about wanting to meet her to have a serious talk.
Yet, she didn’t want to see him at all.
He had sought her out a couple of times, and seeing that she was unresponsive, he eventually gave up.
She didn’t understand whether she was being too dramatic or if he just hadn’t liked her that much at all.
Inside the hotel restaurant.
Dinner was buffet-style, priced at 2,980 yuan per person.
Wen Xian wore a loose white chiffon long dress with a beret and a brown overcoat. Even though she was pregnant, she still looked slim, barely gaining much weight at all.
When she was leaving, Lu Xiao’s mother initially wanted to accompany her, but Wen Xian sweet-talked her out of it. Eventually, Lu Xiao’s mother agreed to let a few highly skilled military personnel follow for security, which somewhat eased her worries.
Otherwise, if anything were to happen, she would not be able to bear it, and her son would be upset when he came back after completing his mission.
Li Zaijun had already ordered their meals inside the restaurant, and now they were waiting for Wen Yu’s arrival.
Wen Yu was preparing for a competition on Monday and had arrived in Beijing with his school teacher and other students, just in time. He hadn’t even changed out of his uniform yet.
The blue and white school uniform hung a little loose on his slightly slender frame.
But he was fair-skinned, tall, lean, with clean features and a high nose bridge.
He looked harmless and still carried the immaturity of a teenager, but he lacked the sunny and cheerful aura typical of youth. He was mostly quiet and more reserved.
The hotel wasn’t located directly on the street and accessed through an upscale Bay Area, where only private cars were allowed entry. Taxis could only stop outside, not allowed inside.
The surrounding buildings were golf courses, high-end clubs, and other such facilities. The clientele here were usually the wealthy or noble.
Therefore, after the taxi stopped, he in his school uniform, walked in from the sidewalk.
