When Wen Yunsheng heard the voice of Mr. Wen, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and his fingers fell on the Enter key and tapped lightly.

He sent the email directly, then lowered his eyes to make sure nothing serious happened before closing the computer.

He had not expected this Mr. Sheng Wen.

He thought she might call her the head of the family, but he never expected that she would call him Mr. Wen.

Many people called him this in Chinatown.

But it was the first time I heard her call that.

His expression was still as calm as ever. He raised his hand to adjust the frame of his glasses on his nose and spoke in a steady voice.

"what do you want to eat?"

"I, I'm fine with anything, as long as I don't eat spicy food."

He thought for a moment, told the driver a location, and then the car became quiet again.

After stealing a few glances at him, Lin Zhujin mustered up the courage to ask, "Is there anything you want to tell me today?"

He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest.

Lin Zhujin suddenly felt regretful for his recklessness and should have asked later.

Just when I felt a little embarrassed, I heard something coming from the side.

"I'll tell you later. I didn't sleep last night. I'll take a rest first."

After saying this, Lin Zhujin felt even more guilty. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked that question.

But did he go back to work after the Wen family dinner last night? He didn't sleep all night, so he must be really sleepy.

The place Wen Yunsheng mentioned seemed to be a bit far away. After driving smoothly for half an hour, they stopped in the hotel parking lot. Just as the driver was about to say something, he saw Lin Zhujin hushed softly.

She was not in a hurry anyway, so she let him sleep a little longer in the car.

The driver didn't say anything when he saw this.

Wen Yunsheng didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, the light outside the window was piercing his eyes. He raised his hand to rub the root of his nose and asked, "Are we there yet?"

Lin Zhujin was about to speak when the driver spoke.

"It's the head of the family."

He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist in the light from inside the car.

According to the time we drove here, we should have arrived a long time ago.

"How long has it been?"

He asked this question to Lin Zhujin, and she nodded slightly.

"After 20 minutes, I saw you were too tired so I didn't call you."

When she said this, she always glanced at him with a little timidity.

He wanted to say thank you, but somehow, he felt that if he said it, he would see a look of panic on her face.

After thinking for a while, he just responded lightly.

"Let's go eat."

The place Wen Yunsheng chose was secluded and elegant, and as soon as you entered the door you could hear the soft and gentle voice of Wu dialect.

It sounded like the tune of the Pingtan she had heard before.

After entering the door, someone took them to the private room. Lin Zhujin looked around carefully along the way. The decoration of this restaurant was obviously carefully designed, and every detail was exquisite and could not be ignored.

There seemed to be a faint smell of sandalwood burning in the box, and the smell was the aroma that Lin Zhoujin liked.

The waiter brought the menu, which Wen Yunsheng just touched before handing over to Lin Zhujin.

"You can eat whatever you want."

Lin Zhujin looked at the menu. Most of the dishes were named after ancient poems, and there was a row of small characters at the bottom listing the main ingredients.

She flipped to the back and prepared to order a set meal.

When he was about to place the order, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "I want to order a set meal. Do you want to see if there is anything to add?"

"It will be all right."

"So, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

After asking this question, he glanced at her sideways before saying, "I don't eat onions."

"..."

While waiting for the meal, Wen Yunsheng talked briefly about what happened in the house yesterday.

Lin Zhujin still maintained the same attitude as yesterday. Perhaps because she was afraid that Wen Yunsheng didn't understand what she meant, she had to explain it to him.

"That's the case, little uncle. Actually, I really don't need any compensation. Although Yuan Shao's last act was not very nice, he actually didn't owe me anything materially in this relationship. Besides, Tanggong No. 7 is too valuable to me."

"Let me explain it more clearly. Even if I really took it, I can't live in it. I can't even afford the property management fee of Tanggong No. 7 even if I dance for a year. In that case, I'd be the same as my ancestors."

The dignity and honor brought by Tanggong No. 7 is indeed unmatched in Huaicheng, but it is still too hot for Lin Zhujin.

Such a frivolous and extravagant life was not worthy of her.

At the end she seemed a little embarrassed to speak again.

The Lin family and the Wen family were not well matched, so asking her to accept such a large gift with nothing would indeed put invisible pressure on her.

He didn't think enough.

"I see. I didn't think it through. If that's the case, just come to me if you need any help."

Lin Zhujin knew what he meant by this sentence, that he wanted it to be an apology.

but...

She pursed her lips and bit them gently.

My heart is blocked.

She placed her hands on her thighs and lowered her eyes to watch her hands slowly clench her clothes and then slowly loosen them.

"You also feel sorry for me, so you always want to make it up to me."

Her voice was low and soft, as if she was too embarrassed to speak. After struggling for a long time, she dared to say it so weakly.

She then said, "I know our Lin family may not be as good as the Wen family, but in fact, this relationship is still equal. I will not be entangled in anything in the future..."

"Don't think too much." Wen Yunsheng spoke in a low voice, interrupting her.

Lin Zhujin looked over and saw him folding his hands on his legs. When he started to speak, Lin Zhujin was wondering in his mind if he was the same when he talked business with others.

He was just looking at her across a table, but he felt as if all his little thoughts were about to be seen through.

"I want to compensate you because I think Yuan Shao has gone too far. Besides, I don't think family background will be an obstacle to a relationship. You are very outstanding and more than qualified for him. It's him who is confused and has a childish mentality, and he has wronged you."

After saying that, he reached out, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

I want to push the things hidden deep down a little bit more.

Lin Zhujin didn't say anything, but just looked at him steadily. Before his words had faded from her mind, her heart received a violent impact, causing every cell in her body to tremble.

She thought of the time when she was with Wen Yuanshao. It was a festival two years ago. At that time, Wen Yuanshao was considerate and enthusiastic enough towards her.

But she still saw him put a small cup she made by herself in the cabinet.

It was a utility room.

That was also the first time Lin Zhujin realized the gap between her and Wen Yuanshao.

That night she accompanied Wen Yuanshao to open all the gifts. Many of them were unfamiliar to her and some were brands she couldn't name, but he seemed very happy.

It was the joy he had never shown when he received the cup.

Later she found out that those limited edition and out-of-print items were not available for her to buy even if she had money. What she could buy were gifts, and what she couldn't buy were the people in their circle.
