Chen Cheng complained in his heart while skillfully reversing the car, parking it steadily in front of the three.
"Get in."
Wen Shulin and Su Liya got into the car one after another, while Xiao ier naturally took the passenger seat.
"Is it courtyard number 7, right?" Chen Cheng deliberately asked, creating an impression that he had never been there before.
Wen Shulin in the back seat smiled, "Yes."
Only then did Chen Cheng start the car, heading towards the night’s second destination.
All the way, Su Liya was chatting enthusiastically with Wen Shulin and Xiao ier, covering topics from the revolving restaurant’s delicacies to the night view of the Central Television Tower, to the fun spots in Beijing, almost everything.
Chen Cheng occasionally interjected, but most of the ti he was focused on driving while listening carefully to their conversation, afraid of missing any important information.
Especially every word said by Su Liya.
He knew that tonight was destined not to be so simple.
The car swiftly moved through the night and soon arrived at Wen Shulin’s complex.
After parking the car, Wen Shulin led Xiao ier, walking up through the garden-like complex.
"Wow, Sister Lin, your place is so beautiful!"
Xiao ier couldn’t help but exclaim, admiring the lush greenery and elegant environnt of the complex.
"Not really, your courtyard houses in Houhai are even more beautiful."
The two won laughed and talked, completely oblivious to Su Liya and Chen Cheng walking behind them.
Pale delicate hands hooked into Chen Cheng’s palm, making his heart skip a beat with such bold and secretive acts, indeed just like Wen Shulin.
Su Liya’s face also showed a faint smile, seemingly indicating that what was to co would be extraordinary.
"What’s up?" Chen Cheng communicated with his eyes.
Su Liya didn’t speak but deliberately winked at him as if to say: "I can’t say now, you’ll know later!"
She then dashed ahead, catching up with Wen Shulin and Xiao ier.
Chen Cheng watched her lively figure, shaking his head helplessly, thinking what a clever girl!
The three entered the elevator, and Su Liya pressed the button.
The elevator slowly ascended, Wen Shulin and Xiao ier still chatting, while Su Liya kept her gaze fixed on the elevator numbers, seemingly calculating sothing.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and the three walked out.
"Xiao Er, this way," Wen Shulin invited warmly.
She took out keys from her bag, having had the locks changed after the fingerprint lock incident.
"Wow, Sister Lin, your ho is so beautiful!"
Xiao ier was amazed by the spacious and bright living room and the exquisite and stylish decor as she entered.
"Don’t praise it too much, it was just a casual setup," Wen Shulin said, glancing at the shoe cabinet, which contained only two pairs of slippers.
"Well, I never had guests before, didn’t prepare extra slippers," she said, "Why don’t you just co in like this."
"No way! Your ho is so clean, I’ll just go barefoot."
Xiao ier took off her sandals, revealing her plump and smooth feet right in front of Chen Cheng.
"Xiao Er, you’re too polite," Seeing Xiao ier doing so, as the host, Wen Shulin naturally had no reason to wear shoes either.
She too took off her high heels, revealing her long beautiful feet wrapped in stockings, stepping on the mirror-clean floor.
Faintly, Chen Cheng could see the red nail polish he had noticed that afternoon.
As for Su Liya, she always preferred not to wear shoes.
With a kick, her fair adorable feet popped out of the AJ sneakers.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow at the scene in front of him.
"Mr. Chen, why are you standing there?" Wen Shulin playfully reprimanded, "Co on in."
Chen Cheng forced a smile and walked in, closing the door.
"Make yourself comfortable, I’ll go get you a glass of water," Wen Shulin called out.
Su Liya volunteered, "Mommy, let do it! You better take Sister Xiao Er and Mr. Chen to select the wine first."
Seeing the rare initiative from Su Liya, Wen Shulin smiled brightly, linking arms with Xiao ier, "Xiao Er, let show you around."
"Okay!"
Chen Cheng, however, didn’t move; once seated on the sofa, he didn’t get up again.
"Xiao Cheng, aren’t you going to take a look around Sister Lin’s luxurious apartnt?"
Chen Cheng waved his hand, "I’m a grown man; I’ll pass, you go have a look."
"Don’t mind him, let’s go," Wen Shulin said with a laugh.
Wen Shulin led Xiao ier from the living room to the dining room, then to the kitchen and bedroom, keen to show her all the best things in the house.
"Sister Lin, your house is simply fabulous! Great layout, and very tastefully designed."
Xiao ier sincerely admired, the apartnt was impeccable from every angle.
Wen Shulin smiled, "Glad you like it, co over more often."
"Definitely," Xiao ier nodded repeatedly, her eyes caught by an oil painting on the wall, "Sister Lin, this painting is beautiful, did you paint it yourself?"
Following her gaze, Wen Shulin looked at the abstract oil painting, vibrant colors, smooth lines, full of vitality and movent.
"No, a friend gifted it, I’m not talented in painting,"
Wen Shulin chuckled, "However, Liya is quite interested in painting, she might beco a painter in the future."
"Really? Liya is so talented!"
Xiao ier looked towards Su Liya, busy in the kitchen, eyes full of admiration.
In her view, Su Liya was obedient and sensible, and also very attractive, just like Wen Shulin.
