Wen Yan was stunned when she heard this, "Selling flowers?"
She felt her brain wasn't working properly.
How could Leng Xunze be selling flowers?
Leng Xunze's voice was low and hoarse on the phone, "Yes, there wasn't much to do at the group today, so I thought I could help Mom. I didn't expect the batch of flowers I gave Mom yesterday caused the flower shop to be packed. I was afraid Mom wouldn't be able to handle it, so I came to help."
"They haven't all been sold yet, but it's almost done."
Only then did Wen Yan understand. Her eyes were full of smiles, she hadn't expected Leng Xunze to help her mother sell flowers.
She was deeply touched.
She smiled and said, "Husband, I'll come to find you now."
"It's getting colder now, wear more clothes."
Wen Yan hummed, "Got it! Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan put the dishes back into the insulated container, grabbed her keys, and turned to leave.
She hailed a taxi by the roadside to the flower shop.
Wen Yan tilted her head, looking at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Tonight, she was especially happy.
Half an hour later.
The car stopped by the roadside near the flower shop.
Wen Yan got out of the car and looked up to see that the flower shop was still packed with customers.
Couples holding flowers walked out of the shop.
As she got closer, she could hear them commenting, "The flowers at this shop are cheap and smell good, not like cheap goods at all."
"Most importantly, that handsome guy is incredibly good-looking."
Wen Yan's lips twitched. She walked into the shop and saw the man who was usually the center of attention wearing a white apron and holding flowers. Her lips curved upwards involuntarily.
Leng Xunze noticed Wen Yan's gaze, looked up at her, and a faint smile bloomed on his face.
Li Qiuyun walked out from the inner room and happened to see this scene. Her expression changed slightly, "Yan Yan."
Wen Yan turned and looked at Li Qiuyun, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Qiuyun glanced at Leng Xunze, and after a second, said, "You go back with him. Have you eaten yet?"
She shook her head, "I've already cooked. Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Li Qiuyun had the words on the tip of her tongue but didn't say them. She walked to Leng Xunze's side and said in a neutral tone, "Let's go back. You've worked hard today, you don't need to come tomorrow."
Leng Xunze's voice was low, "Mom, let's finish selling these flowers first. Otherwise, you'll be too tired alone."
He didn't want to lose Wen Yan.
He would also let Li Qiuyun know his determination to be with Wen Yan.
As he spoke, he walked directly towards Wen Yan.
Li Qiuyun heard this and glanced at the man's profile, her heart in a turmoil.
She didn't know if she should continue to stop them from being together.
Seeing Li Qiuyun's impatient expression, Wen Ya stepped forward, and the three of them divided the work.
An hour later.
Most of the customers had left, and the night had deepened.
There were still piles of waste paper on the floor in the hall that hadn't been cleaned up.
Wen Yan and Leng Xunze wanted to help, but Li Qiuyun refused to let them. Finally, the two of them left the flower shop.
As they walked out of the shop, a refreshing cool breeze blew, messing up Wen Yan's hair.
Leng Xunze turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with concern, "Didn't I tell you to wear more clothes?"
Just as Wen Yan was about to explain, she saw Leng Xunze take off his suit jacket and drape it over her shoulders.
She looked at him and said softly, "I'm fine. You'll catch a cold if you give me your clothes. Hurry and put them on."
As she was about to take off the jacket, Leng Xunze looked at her, his lips curved slightly. He put his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "I won't be cold when I'm holding you."
Wen Yan's face flushed slightly, feeling pampered by this man like a child.
Her lips curved upwards, and then she remembered something, "Didn't you drive?"
Leng Xunze told her about being brought by Zuo An in the afternoon, "Should I have Zuo An come now?"
Wen Yan waved her hand, "Don't call him. Let's take a taxi back."
"Okay." He had no objections.
The two took a taxi back home.
As soon as Wen Yan entered the door, she went to the kitchen, "Husband, I'll get the dishes for you. You sit for a while."
Leng Xunze was pleased, "Mm."
When she brought the dishes to the table, Leng Xunze, smelling the appetizing aroma, praised, "Wife, did you learn these new dishes?"
Wen Yan nodded, "It's my first time making them, I don't know if they're good or not. Try them."
Cooking was already second nature to her now.
"Some dishes don't even need to be tasted. You can tell their quality just by smelling them," Leng Xunze praised sincerely.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow, "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a food critic!"
Leng Xunze smiled, and they ate with relish.
As they were finishing their meal, Leng Xunze suddenly remembered something and turned to her, "Wife, tomorrow Leng's has a cooperation project, and they need to select the best proposal. Wen's has also submitted a proposal. What are your thoughts?"
Wen Yan guessed Leng Xunze's intention as soon as she heard this. She smiled indifferently, "I don't understand project matters. Husband, you make the decision."
Leng Xunze smiled back, "Okay, I'll have Zuo An finalize it now."
"Mm."
Wen Shihao could drive her and her mother out, and he had used her multiple times. Why should she help him?
She wasn't a saint who would willingly endure mistreatment.
After dinner.
They washed dishes and tidied up the room together.
Then they worked hard to have a baby soon.
The next day.
Wen Yan was in her office completing design drawings when her phone suddenly rang.
She saw the caller ID, hesitated for a few seconds, and then answered, "Is there something you're calling me for?"
"Sister, you're too heartless. You actually didn't help Dad secure the cooperation opportunity with Leng's."
Wen Yan found it amusing, "Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?"
Wen Ya gritted her teeth in anger, "Sister, you are Dad's daughter. This project is very important to Dad. Can't you help him?"
Without Wen Yan's help, her chance of inheriting the company would be gone.
She really didn't expect Wen Yan to be so heartless.
"The day he drove me and my mother out, when my mother and I had nowhere to turn, why didn't he lend a hand?"
"When he schemed against me multiple times, why didn't he think of me as his daughter!" Wen Yan felt increasingly indignant as she spoke.
Afterward, she felt relieved.
She felt that in Wen Shihao's heart, he had probably never considered her his daughter.
Besides, she had her mother and Leng Xunze now, which was enough.
Wen Ya was speechless and still wanted to speak for Wen Shihao, "Sister, that incident was so long ago, and you still hate Dad."
"Actually, Dad regrets driving you out. He wanted to make amends later. What kind of family feud can't be resolved between parents?"
Wen Yan didn't want to listen anymore and coldly interrupted, "Do you have anything else?"
Wen Ya heard this and quickly said, "Sister, please help Dad finalize the cooperation plan first. We can discuss other matters later."
Having the right to inherit the company was very important to her.
With inheritance rights, she would essentially control the Wen family.
As for Wen Yan, she could deal with her slowly.
Wen Yan's expression turned cold, and she threw her phone aside.
She was afraid she would lose her temper and curse.
After being interrupted by Wen Ya, she couldn't calm down for a long time, so she stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the scenery.
