Chapter 2548: Chapter 352

Wen Qinghuan received a message from Feng Yize saying he was on his way to her house just as she was returning home with Bai Qingling.

Thinking she had misread it, she blinked, stared at the message content, and read it again to confirm it was correct.

She then replied: [I’m at Sister Qingling’s house, I’ll ask my brother to get it for you.]

[Then I’ll come find you there.]

Feng Yize immediately replied and at the same time asked Chu Junming: [Third Brother, do you know where Bai Qingling’s house is? Qinghuan is at her place.]

[I do.]

After hesitating for a second, Chu Junming answered calmly.

Seeing Feng Yize’s reply that he would come find her, Wen Qinghuan furrowed her brows deeply. Before she could send a refusal, she received another message from Feng Yize: [Qinghuan, I have something for you.]

This afternoon, Feng Yize had sent her a message noting that her studio was finished, but he couldn’t make it. He said he would celebrate with her on the studio’s opening day and bring a gift.

It wasn’t necessary, really.

They weren’t that close, having only met a few times and exchanged some words in a group... that was all.

At most, they were ordinary friends.

But since Feng Yize said they were friends... after hearing about Feng Yize’s background and situation from Momo, Wen Qinghuan found it hard to be cold towards him.

When Chu Junming and Feng Yize arrived, Bai Qingling and Wen Qinghuan were sitting in the car waiting for them.

Tonight, Qinghuan was the one driving Qingling home.

There was no driver, just the two of them.

Seeing Feng Yize approaching, Qingling said to Qinghuan, "He’s here to see you, I’ll get out first."

"No need."

Qinghuan didn’t want to be alone with Feng Yize.

Bai Qingling smiled and patted her hand, "If he makes you uncomfortable, just tell him directly."

"Alright."

Wen Qinghuan pressed her lips together and nodded.

Her slender fingers hovered over the power window switch as she watched Feng Yize, full of smiles and vibrancy, walking toward her through the glass.

He greeted Qingling with a smile as she lowered the window.

His handsome face became clearer in view, that smile carrying a bit of infectious warmth.

Standing a couple of steps away, his smiling eyes rested on her with the usual pleasant, melodious voice, "Qinghuan, have you been waiting long?"

"No."

There’s no hitting a smiling face, so Qinghuan returned a slight smile to him.

Feng Yize opened the door to the passenger seat and sat down sideways, beaming at her, "Qinghuan, this is for you, congratulations on having your own studio."

Qinghuan lowered her gaze, shifting her eyes from his handsome face to the elegantly wrapped gift box in his hand, "What is it?"

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing valuable, but it’s something you can use when you paint," Feng Yize said with a smile, holding out his large hand in front of her, waiting for her to take the gift.

"Alright then, if it’s something costly, I can’t take it."

Though she didn’t have those romantic feelings for Feng Yize, she didn’t dislike him; in fact, chatting with him was quite enjoyable.

Feng Yize always smiled, his signature smile evident anytime and anywhere.

"Weren’t you busy just starting in the family business? What brings you suddenly to G City?"

"Well, there’s no gathering tonight, and with those three guys here leaving me alone in the Imperial City, it got unbearable, so I had to come over. I’m here to pick up some art rolls, saving you the cost of shipping."

As he spoke, his teasing words made Qinghuan laugh.

"So, should I thank you then?"

Qinghuan raised an eyebrow, her smile-filled eyes shining like stars in the sky.

"I haven’t had dinner yet, the airplane food was terrible, how about treating me to some fast food with the saved shipping cost?"

"It’s so late, you haven’t had dinner?"

Qinghuan’s smile faded, and her delicate features frowned slightly.

She was most afraid of being hungry; whenever she got hungry, she would feel anxious, dizzy, and especially uncomfortable. So upon hearing Feng Yize hadn’t eaten, her kindness escaped her control.

"No, I worked overtime to finish tasks so I could come to G City tonight, I didn’t have time to eat. Look, haven’t I lost weight since a few days ago?"

Feng Yize pointed at himself, then sat up straight with an expression inviting her to examine him.

Qinghuan glanced at him for a moment, then shook her head, "I can’t tell."

Feng Yize laughed again, "That means I haven’t lost weight. I noticed on the way here that the night market isn’t far, let’s go grab something there, just keep the costs under the shipping fee."

"Alright."

Agreeing, Qinghuan found herself a little confused.

Weren’t you just planning to clarify things with him?

A voice in her head said, he hasn’t confessed or said he likes you what do you need to clarify? If he only sees you as an ordinary friend, wouldn’t it be presumptuous?

"What’s wrong, Qinghuan?"

Seeing her frown, Feng Yize asked with concern.

Wen Qinghuan looked up, meeting his concerned gaze, her eyes twinkling, "The night market is difficult for parking, should we walk over or drive up front to find parking?"

"Let’s walk, it’s tough finding a parking space there."

Feng Yize couldn’t be happier to spend more time with Qinghuan, preferring a walk over a ride any day.

After a moment, he added, "Qinghuan, I have something else to ask for your help, we can talk while we walk."

"Alright."

Qinghuan unfastened her seatbelt, and Feng Yize swiftly got out of the car and walked around to open the driver’s side door for her.

Getting out of the car, Wen Qinghuan turned her head to look at the other car two meters away, where Chu Junming and Bai Qingling sat in the driver and passenger seats.

She lowered her gaze and said to Feng Yize, "Go invite them."

Feng Yize walked over, and Qinghuan stood in place. Earlier, she saw Chu Junming and Qingling talking about something, with Chu Junming’s lips holding a subtle smile, not deep, but exuding a gentle elegance.

"Qinghuan, my third brother and Qingling said they won’t go, they need to return to the company’s lab to modify some data."

Fearing that Qinghuan might be upset or influenced not to go, Feng Yize spoke cautiously, observing her expression as he did.

"If you don’t feel like going, we can head straight back to your place."

"Aren’t you going to eat?"

Qinghuan asked him with amusement.

Feng Yize, unconcerned, said, "Skipping one meal won’t make me lose weight, just a bit uncomfortable." As soon as he finished, his stomach growled in protest.

"..."

Watching his embarrassed smile, Wen Qinghuan found him endearing like a shy big boy, which delighted her.

Smiling warmly, she said, "Let’s go, you’ve saved me the shipping fee, I can’t be stingy and not buy you a meal. You are sworn brothers with Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen; if you go hungry, Sister Momo and Sister Tongtong won’t be pleased."

"Then let’s go."

Before leaving with Feng Yize, Wen Qinghuan couldn’t help looking back at the car, where Bai Qingling waved her phone at her with a smile through the glass window.
