Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Reading the Newspaper with Sunglasses (Four Updates)
Zheng Wenbin looked at Yuan Yuxi, whose face was covered by sunglasses, yet her natural beauty was undeniable, and his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
As the eldest son of the wealthiest family in Shencheng and a top business executive, Zheng Wenbin had seen countless heiresses and socialites.
However, none of them had ever caught his eye like Yuan Yuxi did from the very start.
From Yuan Yuxi, he saw youth, sunshine, and pure beauty—the perfect embodiment of every grace and charm that a woman could have.
There was no need for pretension or heavy makeup—every gesture, every look was naturally stunning and elegant.
Yuan Yuxi walked over to a seat and sat down. The waiter came up and asked what she would like for breakfast.
Yuan Yuxi ordered breakfast and instructed the waiter, “I want it to go. I’ll eat it in the room with my friends.”
The waiter asked, “Miss, would you like us to deliver it to your room?”
Yuan Yuxi replied, “No, I’ll take it back myself.”
The waiter nodded and then left.
When Yuan Yuxi walked into the second-floor restaurant, she had already quietly surveyed the whole place, but didn’t see Lin Fei, Xiao Ling or the others.
It seemed the chance of bumping into them was small.
Soon, the waiter brought the breakfast that Yuan Yuxi had ordered, packed neatly in boxes and bags, and placed it in front of her.
Yuan Yuxi picked up the breakfast, intending to leave the restaurant.
Just then, with a ding, the elevator doors opened and several people walked out.
Upon seeing the people emerging from the elevator, Yuan Yuxi immediately turned around with the breakfast and walked towards a corner of the restaurant, because she saw that the people were Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, Qin Yunyue, Li Qing, and Xie Wenbo.
Luckily, she reacted quickly and turned around swiftly, so Lin Fei and the others did not notice her.
At this moment, she saw in a corner a man in a suit and tie with a handsome face—looking like a business elite—holding a newspaper, yet with his eyes on her.
Yuan Yuxi noticed there was an empty seat beside this man and glanced at his newspaper. Quickly thinking of an idea, she headed towards him.
This man looking at Yuan Yuxi was Zheng Wenbin.
He didn’t expect Yuan Yuxi to actually come towards him.
Ever since Yuan Yuxi appeared on the second floor, Zheng Wenbin’s gaze had been following her.
When she got her breakfast and was about to leave, he felt a tinge of regret.
He thought that he and Yuan Yuxi were just passing acquaintances, both merely transient figures in each other’s lives.
Yet at this moment, it was as if he saw a brilliant ray of light shining into his heart.
A delicate fragrance drifted over as Yuan Yuxi arrived at Zheng Wenbin’s seat.
“Sir, may I sit next to you?” Yuan Yuxi’s voice was soft and gentle.
Zheng Wenbin smiled and said, “Of course, please sit.”
Yuan Yuxi then took a seat beside him and placed the breakfast she was holding on the table.
Her peripheral vision caught Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, and the others chatting and laughing, oblivious to her presence.
Yuan Yuxi then took the newspaper from Zheng Wenbin’s hands, opened it, and lifted it with both hands to cover her entire upper body, leaving only a bit of her hair visible over the top.
Zheng Wenbin hadn’t expected Yuan Yuxi to sit beside him, let alone start reading the financial newspaper he had been holding.
He couldn’t help but ask Yuan Yuxi, “Miss, do you enjoy reading financial newspapers?”
Of course, Yuan Yuxi didn’t really enjoy them; she just used the newspaper as cover so Lin Fei and the others wouldn’t spot her.
However, to prevent Zheng Wenbin from becoming suspicious, Yuan Yuxi softly replied to him, “Yes, I do like reading financial newspapers, and when I read, I prefer to do so quietly without talking.”
Zheng Wenbin nodded, “Alright, take your time reading, I won’t disturb you.”
Zheng Wenbin didn’t expect Yuan Yuxi to be so earnest about reading the newspaper.
But he was puzzled as to why she would wear sunglasses even while reading the newspaper.
Yet, he said nothing more, as Yuan Yuxi had said she wanted to read quietly, so he let her do just that.
After she finished reading, it wouldn’t be too late to understand her better.
Meanwhile, Lin Fei, Xiao Ling and the others were looking for a place to sit in the restaurant.
However, the restaurant was nearly full.
At this moment, Li Qing pointed to a corner and said to Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, and the others, “There’s a table over there, let’s sit there.”
The table Li Qing pointed to was only separated by one table from Zheng Wenbin’s.
Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, and the others headed towards this table.
Hearing Lin Fei and the others getting closer, Yuan Yuxi’s hand holding the newspaper couldn’t help but tremble, nearly dropping the newspaper.
At this moment, Zheng Wenbin also noticed Lin Fei and Xiao Ling.
Yesterday, he had seen Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, and Liu Wei returning with Zheng Yutong from the hotel balcony, so he recognized the two.
Thinking about Lin Fei and Xiao Ling deceiving Liu Wei and his sister emotionally, Zheng Wenbin felt anger stirring within.
What made him even more furious was seeing two familiar figures approaching Lin Fei and Xiao Ling’s table.
“Lin Fei…”
“Xiao Ling…”
Indeed, these figures were Liu Wei and Zheng Yutong.
And just as Liu Wei greeted Lin Fei, a certain beautiful woman wearing sunglasses and holding a newspaper jolted slightly!
Today, Liu Wei had her long hair tied in a ponytail, adding a touch of elegance and sharpness to her refined orchid-like beauty, making her extremely captivating.
In a simple white T-shirt and blue short denim shorts, she looked fresh and ethereal, immensely eye-catching.
Zheng Yutong, in a dark brown loose T-shirt and short jeans, showcased her long, slender legs, appearing equally gracious and poised.
The unparalleled beauty of Liu Wei and Zheng Yutong made them both stand out in Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, and their group’s eyes, each holding their own unique charm yet hard to compare.
The two ladies sat down at Lin Fei’s table.
Lin Fei and Xiao Ling promptly introduced Qin Yunyue, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing to Liu and Zheng.
Similarly, they introduced Liu and Zheng to Qin Yunyue and the others.
Lin Fei then ordered breakfast from the waiter.
At this time, sitting at Lin Fei’s table, Zheng Yutong had already spotted her brother across a single table width.
Seeing her brother’s gaze fixed on her, Zheng Yutong knew he didn’t want her to be with Xiao Ling.
Noticing her brother, who usually didn’t come to the second-floor restaurant for breakfast, but showed up today, Zheng Yutong figured he must be here to monitor her.
She already had her mind set against marrying Liu Xuan, and upon seeing her brother come to monitor her, her rebellious spirit only grew stronger.
Brother, you are here to watch over me?
Then I’ll show you how I date Xiao Ling, so you can let Liu Xuan give up.
With this in mind, Zheng Yutong softly said to Xiao Ling, “Xiao Ling, today Liu Wei and I planned to go play at the downtown commercial center, what do you all think?”
Xiao Ling replied, “Yesterday we went to the scenic and tranquil Beauty Island, today going to the bustling city commercial center for a blend of action and peace sounds great, I’d love to see the real bustling area of Shencheng.”
Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and the others nodded in agreement.
Zheng Wenbin, hearing his sister planning to go to the city with Xiao Xiao, was furious, and decided to have Long Chen come later.
He felt the need to quickly have Xiao Ling and Lin Fei leave Zheng Yutong and Liu Wei, or else the misunderstanding between the Liu and Zheng families might escalate.
The waiter brought breakfast, and after Lin Fei and the others finished eating, they left the restaurant.
