PDLP Chapter 141 Special Day
Chapter 141 Special Day
The black car slowly disappeared into the shadow of the villa, and the iron gate closed silently, as if isolating all the disturbances from outside.
Zhang Duoer glared at the slowly closing iron gate, the rage in her heart surging like a tide. She kicked it hard, and the iron gate made a dull echo.
After venting, she tightly grasped her bag and quickly booked a ride-hailing car on her phone. Then, with a sneer on her face, she turned and walked towards the intersection in the night.
As she turned around, a beautiful figure came into her sight. It was a woman with outstanding temperament, who was looking at her quietly.
Zhang Duoer frowned and looked back, but found that she did not know the other person. Her vigilance decreased slightly, and she immediately retracted her gaze and continued walking towards the intersection in her high heels.
The woman named Qin Zhuyu did not slowly withdraw her gaze until Zhang Duoer's figure completely disappeared from her sight.
At this moment, her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
In the afternoon, she received a call from Su Zimo. Su Zimo's voice was a little worried. He told her that Ye Wanqing had been in a very low mood recently and hoped that she could go to the villa to accompany Ye Wanqing.
Although Su Zimo did not elaborate on the reason or mention how he got her contact information, Qin Zhuyu knew how important Ye Wanqing was, so she agreed without hesitation.
However, today happened to be Qingming Festival, and there was heavy traffic on the road. Qin Zhuyu encountered a serious traffic jam on Heping Road, not far from the villa.
In her anxiety, she decided to ask the driver to stop by the roadside, and she rode a shared bicycle and rushed to the villa.
When she walked around the path, she happened to witness Zhang Duoer questioning Ye Wanqing, and the words about Lin Xuan and Su Junyan came clearly into her ears.
Qin Zhuyu's thoughts drifted back to last year, when Ye Wanqing was in a coma due to illness, and the name she murmured was "Su Junyan".
At this moment, she seemed to understand something, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She sympathized with Lin Xuan's experience, but also felt that he deserved it.
The sound of an engine at the intersection interrupted Qin Zhuyu's thoughts. She came back to her senses, tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind, took a step forward, and walked towards Ye Wanqing's villa.
After Ye Wanqing parked the car in the garage, she did not leave for a long time.
Zhang Duoer's accusation and that pointed question were like sharp blades that cut through her heart, leaving scars that were difficult to heal.
The lights in the garage gradually went out. She leaned over the steering wheel, feeling as if she was surrounded by endless darkness and could not find a way out.
The doorbell rang suddenly, waking Ye Wanqing up like thunder.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes empty and confused, watching the lights gradually light up, but she seemed to be in another world.
The doorbell rang intermittently, and it was not until this moment that she finally woke up.
She gently stroked her cheek with her hand, wiping away the tears that inadvertently slipped from the corners of her eyes, then unbuckled her seat belt, slowly walked down the garage and walked towards the gate.
The moment she saw Qin Zhuyu, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye Wanqing's eyes, and she called out softly, "Zhuyu, why are you here?"
Qin Zhuyu almost couldn't wait to rush in, hugged Ye Wanqing tightly in her arms, and said with a smile: "Surprised? Unexpected?"
Ye Wanqing staggered slightly at the sudden hug. After she regained her balance, a warm smile blossomed on her face.
"It's really you, why did you come here so suddenly?"
"It's because I missed you so much! It's been ages since we've sat together on the sofa and chatted!"
Qin Zhuyu said coquettishly that although they had met briefly a few days ago, that short lunch time could never satisfy her longing for Ye Wanqing.
Of course, this was just a beautiful excuse Qin Zhuyu made up to reassure Ye Wanqing.
Su Zimo's instructions kept echoing in her heart. At this moment, she loosened her arms and looked at Ye Wanqing carefully in the soft light of the living room:
"You seem to have lost some weight. Are you too tired from work?"
Qin Zhuyu gestured with her hands as she spoke, a look of concern on her face.
What Su Zimo said was true, Ye Wanqing's condition was indeed worrying.
People's emotions, especially their eyes, cannot be deceived.
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing subconsciously touched her cheek: "Really? I think I've gained a little weight."
She smiled and shook her head, then reached out to close the door: "Come in, let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Okay, okay, Wanqing, have you had dinner? I haven't eaten yet, and I'm craving it!" Qin Zhuyu took Ye Wanqing's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder coquettishly.
Ye Wanqing turned her head to look at her, her eyes full of doting: "Why are you becoming more and more like a child? But I haven't eaten yet, I was planning to order takeout."
Qin Zhuyu's words were sincere. Ever since Ye Wanqing went back to her hometown, the two of them had very few opportunities to meet.
Especially after Ye Wanqing returned to the countryside, their contact became so rare that it made her anxious.
Qin Zhuyu always felt that Ye Wanqing seemed to be looking for some reason to leave.
If Ye Wanqing was really tired of the capital and wanted to live somewhere else, Qin Zhuyu could understand.
But what made her uneasy was that although Ye Wanqing's attitude had not changed, the sense of alienation was getting stronger and stronger, as if she would disappear from her world at any time.
Ye Wanqing responded with a smile: "I miss you too."
As the two walked into the villa, Ye Wanqing felt a warm current flowing in her heart.
It was late, and it was obviously too late to make dinner.
So, Ye Wanqing ordered takeout and chose a relaxing movie, intending to enjoy this rare night with Qin Zhuyu.
However, Qin Zhuyu frowned soon after the movie started. This is a French art film with a slightly dull atmosphere.
Qin Zhuyu turned to look at Ye Wanqing and found that she was fascinated by what she saw.
Only the sound of the movie echoed in the living room. Qin Zhuyu felt a little depressed and couldn't help but reach out and pull Ye Wanqing's sleeve: "Wanqing."
"What's wrong?" Ye Wanqing turned to look at her and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? The takeaway should be here soon."
Qin Zhuyu shook her head, with a bit of melancholy in her eyes: "I'm not hungry, I'm just in a bad mood."
"What's wrong? Did something unhappy happen to you?" Ye Wanqing asked with concern.
"I want to drink." Qin Zhuyu said in a low voice.
"How about red wine?" Ye Wanqing suggested.
Qin Zhuyu nodded: "Okay."
Ye Wanqing stood up with a smile and walked towards the wine cabinet.
She doesn't drink often, and there are only a few bottles of wine in her wine cabinet, only two bottles of her treasured red wine.
Qin Zhuyu lay on the sofa, looking at Ye Wanqing's back, her heart full of the urge to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.
Ye Wanqing came over with red wine and skillfully poured most of the glass into the decanter.
She noticed Qin Zhuyu's lost expression and reached out to touch her head: "Why are you suddenly in a bad mood? Tell me."
Qin Zhuyu bit her lip, with a helpless look in her eyes: "It's not sudden, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable, and I don't know how to say it."
Ye Wanqing looked at her gently: "When I'm unhappy, I draw. What about you? Do you have any special way to relieve stress?"
Qin Zhuyu shook her head: "No, I just feel that today is Qingming Festival, and the atmosphere is a bit depressing."
As the two were talking, the doorbell rang. It was the takeaway. Ye Wanqing stood up and said, "I'll go get the takeaway. You wait patiently."
Qin Zhuyu nodded and looked at Ye Wanqing's departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
This special day seems to have cast a layer of sadness over everyone's mood.
