The man was caught off guard and stumbled. By the time he came back to his senses, Xinwan had already jumped down from the table, walked around the table and headed for the door.
"Tong Xinwan, where are you going?"
Wen Han-woo's eyes darkened and he shouted.
The call hadn't ended yet, and the assistant on the other end had also turned on the speaker. Li Ruoying, who was outside the door, naturally heard him clearly. Her exquisitely made-up face instantly stiffened.
On the other hand, the assistant who made the call was caught in a dilemma. If Secretary Chen had not gone out on business, she would not have encountered such a situation. At this moment, she really did not know whether to hang up or to continue …
Li Ruoying stared at the tightly shut door of the CEO's office. She did not make a sound, but her expression showed that she was reluctant.
The assistant glanced at her carefully. There were rumors that this young lady of the Li family would replace Mrs. Wen's position. She could not afford to offend her, so she could only remain in a stalemate.
In the office.
Xinwan's hand was already on the door handle. She did not want to let her emotions control her, nor did she want Wen Han-woo to see her emotions.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "President Wen, I know you don't have time to pick up Xiao Yu from school. I will pick him up at four in the evening."
After she finished speaking, she opened the office door and walked out without looking back.
She had not taken two steps when she bumped into Li Ruoying. It was unavoidable.
Xinwan didn't look too good either. Her lips were still suspiciously red and swollen after being kissed. How could Li Ruoyin not notice? She squeezed her handbag even harder, but the expression on her face did not leak a single drop of water.
"Miss Tong, I'm sorry. I really didn't know you were at Hanwoo's place. Did I disturb you?"
Xinwan could not be bothered to argue with her.
Li Ruoying's words were somewhat true. She did not even raise her head. "No, Miss Li, you don't have to misunderstand anything. I'm just here to talk to President Wen about the child."
After saying that, he quickly walked toward the elevator.
She didn't dare to relax her body until she entered the elevator. The reflection of herself in the mirror looked like she had lost her soul. She reached out her hand and touched her swollen lips. There was a complicated expression between her brows, and there was a hint of disappointment.
At this moment, her phone rang. Xinwan came back to her senses after a while and realized that her phone was ringing. She shook her head and took out her phone from her bag. The caller ID was Seo Dong-jun.
At this moment, her phone rang. Xinwan came back to her senses after a while and realized that her phone was ringing. She shook her head and took out her phone from her bag. The caller ID was Seo Dong-jun.
She was very surprised. Why would Seo Dong-jun call her?
In her impression, that gentle and elegant man gave her a good feeling, but it seemed that the two of them didn't have many topics to talk about in private. Could it be that he called her because of the chance encounter in the restaurant?
Her phone kept ringing. Although Xinwan was suspicious, she quickly sorted out her thoughts and answered the call.
The elevator doors opened and she walked out. "Hello."
When she first met Wen Han-woo before her divorce, she followed Wen Han-woo's example and called him "Uncle." Now that they were divorced, she didn't know how to address him. She simply greeted him politely.
"Xinwan? I'm Seo Dong-jun. "
"Hello, Uncle Xu." She paused and called him "Uncle." According to her age, it was normal for her to call him "Uncle."
Seo Dong-jun didn't take her greeting to heart. He seemed a little embarrassed. "Are you shocked that I called you so abruptly? Actually, it's nothing too important. It's just that I met you guys at the restaurant last time. I originally planned to have a meal with you guys, but the timing wasn't right. So, I want to treat you and your son to a meal. Do you have time? "
It was really about a meal.
Xinwan had a good impression of Seo Dong-jun, so subconsciously, she didn't resist being close to him. After all, he was an elder. After he married Wen Yuehua, Xiao Yu indeed had to call him "Young Master." Now that he took the initiative to call her and ask her out for a meal, she naturally wouldn't reject.
"Uncle, you are really too polite. In fact, I just said it casually that day. Xiao Yu is still at school today."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just outside. At this moment, I have half a day of leisure. Where are you? How about I come to pick you up and then pick up Xiao Yu from school? "Seo Dong-jun gently proposed.
Xinwan seemed to have no reason to refuse. She just told Wen Han-woo that she would pick up her son. To be honest, she was afraid that Wen Han-woo would turn hostile and not let her pick up her son. If Seo Dong-jun was there, he should have scruples.
Thinking of this, she readily agreed. "OK, I'm here."
Xinwan was just about to say that she was in Wen's company, but she felt that it was inappropriate. She immediately changed her words. "I'm in a taxi now. Uncle, you can tell me the address and I'll ask the driver to go there."
Seo Dong-jun said a place name. After Xinwan wrote it down, she quickly found a car. After getting on the car, she said the place name that Seo Dong-jun told her. It took her almost 30 minutes to get to the destination.
Xinwan paid the money and got off the car. She saw a black Land Rover parked across the road. It should be Seo Dong-jun's car.
After two steps, she saw the car door was opened from the inside. A familiar middle-aged man jumped out of the car and waved to Xinwan.
"Hello, uncle."
Xinwan stepped forward and greeted him politely. "Sorry, I've been out of City B all the time. I don't know how to go. The driver drove for so long. I don't know if he deliberately took me a detour. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No."
Seo Dong-jun kept a gentle smile all the time. Perhaps because she knew that he was a painter, Xinwan felt a little distant from him. However, this talented man always condescended to her, which made Xinwan feel flattered.
He pointed to the white building opposite and said with a smile, "I happen to have something to do here. I'm going to hold an art exhibition here next week, so I'm here to discuss something today."
Xinwan nodded and didn't know what to say. They stood there awkwardly for a while.
Because when they met before, most of the time there were others present. It was the first time for them to meet alone. Xinwan had a good impression of Seo Dong-jun, but after all, she was not familiar with him. She didn't know where to start the conversation. At this moment, she regretted coming here in such a hurry.
Seo Dong-jun probably saw her uneasiness, so he raised his wrist to look at the time and broke the ice. "Well, when is the kindergarten over?"
"Four o 'clock."
"It's still early, Xinwan. Why don't you have a cup of coffee with me first?"
After about ten minutes, Seo Dong-jun found a cafe with a nice environment. They chose a table by the window and sat down. The waiter served two cups of Blue Mountain coffee. Seo Dong-jun looked meaningfully at Xinwan and asked, "You like Blue Mountain coffee too?"
When he asked this, his tone sounded casual. Xinwan lowered her eyes and took a sip of her coffee. She didn't carefully decipher Seo Dong-jun's tone between the lines. She also didn't notice that when he asked this question, there was a complicated look in his eyes that was hard to decipher.
She nodded and said, "Yeah. You too?"
Seo Dong-jun smiled gently and pointed to the cup of Blue Mountain coffee in front of him. "We are quite fated."
Xinwan smiled as well.
She actually didn't feel much pressure sitting with Seo Dong-jun. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't think of a good topic to talk about. Fortunately, Seo Dong-jun didn't mind her random replies. He was always looking for topics to talk about.
"I heard that Xinwan was in America for six years, right?"
"Uh huh."
"I know a little about you. You're a very good child. All these years, you've been living alone abroad, haven't you? Now that you're back, I guess you won't be leaving again? "
"I'm not sure yet."
Xinwan reached out and brushed the loose strands of hair behind her ears as she said honestly, "Because of the child, I'm a little busy right now. But it'll be solved eventually. I still have half a year to finish my degree in America. Actually, I don't want to give up halfway."
It was just before three in the afternoon. Faint sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. As Xinwan spoke, she gently drew circles on the edge of the cup with one hand. She seemed to be unconsciously hooking the loose strands of hair by her ear with the other hand. Her movements were very casual. The contours of her face were very soft. Her eyes were clear as a mirror as she looked at him.
His face happened to be reflected in the mirror.
Xu Dongjun was in a trance for a moment. At that moment, he felt as if he had seen something. His heart beat wildly, and the light in his eyes deepened and deepened. Even his breathing became a little hurried. The soup beside his hand seemed to tremble as well.
Xinwan looked at Seo Dong-jun across from her. He didn't speak for a long time. He only stared at her with a pair of deep eyes. Although his gaze was complicated, it revealed an indescribable depth. Xinwan's head buzzed. She instinctively thought of something. She was so shocked that her hand accidentally touched the cup and spilled half of the coffee.
"Ah!"
She cried out in surprise. Her sleeve was stained with quite a bit of coffee. Seo Dong-jun snapped out of his daze. He seemed to realize something. Almost instantly, he went forward and grabbed Xinwan's hand. "Wanwan, are you okay? Did you get scalded? "
The moment he opened his mouth, he called her "Wanwan." Regardless of whether he had called her that in the past, at this moment, he held her hand with a nervous expression and affectionately called her "Wanwan."
Xinwan felt as though she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
