Chapter 57: Chapter 44 Don’t Leave_2
Chapter 57 -44 Don’t Leave_2
Three thousand square feet in the most expensive district, and the staff responsible for maintenance asked her what name she wanted to give to the art gallery, which so easily became hers.
She stepped forward almost close enough to touch him. Her clear, spirited eyes brimming with the fading colors of spring, with an initiating spark, “Brother, thank you.”
Their adjacent body heat nearly drove the man to act on impulse, Wen Yangzhi barely sat on the island bench behind him. He tapped the floor with his long legs, his voice faint, “Going back?”
Yun Yuwan looked puzzled, “Back where?”
He reminded her without emotion, “Belgium.”
Before she could say “I am,” Wen Yangzhi handed her the cup of hot water, his eyelids half-closed, “Don’t go back.”
When Wen Yangzhi said such things, it was as if a clear, crisp snowy day spontaneously combusted.
She found it incredible, and for a moment, her moist and tender deer eyes filled with the warmth of spring as she gazed at him.
He did not explain his reasons, just looked at her indifferently.
She felt as if she were being controlled by some unknown current. Reaching for the cup in his hand, her fingertips overlapped with the back of his, “Brother, do you miss me?”
His hands were warm, drawing one in to seek heat from his presence, yet he was aloof as if his very bones were inherently indifferent, “Having you here, I feel more at ease.”
Yun Yuwan suddenly felt like crying.
Liking him for so many years, she finally heard an echo.
She had just taken a step towards him when a knock on the door abruptly interrupted Yun Yuwan’s movement.
“Director Wen, there’s a letter.”
Wen Yangzhi glanced at her and said, “Come in.”
His voice was deep and magnetic; even a single short word was pleasant to the ear.
Yet, she felt a slight sense of loss. If only Brother had not let anyone else in.
Didn’t she have that privilege?
Assistant Zheng entered with a stack of documents, and appeared somewhat surprised upon seeing Yun Yuwan.
But still bowed his head, “Miss Yun.”
Yun Yuwan lightly acknowledged.
Assistant Zheng handed a letter over to Wen Yangzhi with both hands.
Wen Yangzhi merely opened it, glanced at it, and then tossed it onto the table. Yun Yuwan looked over and saw the title revealed on the edge of the paper.
It was a letter to investors.
To put it differently, it might be considered an apology letter.
Companies that have received large investments but are unable to turn a profit or keep incurring losses may have to write such a letter to explain their prospects and paint a rosy picture for their bosses.
It certainly wasn’t worth reading.
She was a bit annoyed that such a trivial letter had disturbed her time with Brother.
Assistant Zheng surreptitiously gave Yun Yuwan a glance and then shifted his gaze back without making a sound, presenting a folder.
“Director Wen, this is the selection of necklaces for the banquet companion. Please have a look.”
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Yuwan asked:
“May I take a look?”
The companion for the banquet, that was her, wasn’t it?
Assistant Zheng looked at this young lady who didn’t know how to read people’s expressions and managed a skin-deep smile while looking at Wen Yangzhi.
It wasn’t meant for her, yet she wanted to see everything.
Zhou Xing would probably have to laugh off his frustration if he knew his necklace was about to be snatched away again.
Although Assistant Zheng was smiling, his demeanor was too unpleasant, instilling a sense of fear. If Brother weren’t here, she even believed that Zheng would glare at her.
She had seen too many people’s expressions; from the moment she entered this circle, she faced obstacles everywhere.
This had made her highly sensitive; even a subtle and hidden look from someone could let her feel intricate emotions.
Her tone came out a bit weak, “Brother, won’t you let me see?”
Wen Yangzhi stood up, his tone casual:
“Give it to her.”
Assistant Zheng smiled and handed the folder to Yun Yuwan.
Yun Yuwan took the folder, and upon seeing the magnificent Tourmaline Necklace on it, she couldn’t help but be surprised that her brother had prepared such an extravagant piece for her, more exaggerated than the last one, and she couldn’t help but speak up:
“Actually, the previous one was quite beautiful,”
there was no need to go to such lengths and spend over fifty million again; the one she wore before would suffice.
Assistant Zheng, however, could only wish to scoff,
so she knew there was no need to spend another fifty million.
“Leave the item here,” Wen Yangzhi said calmly, looking at her, “Zheng, you’ll drive Yuwan home later.”
To drive Miss Yun home?
Assistant Zheng’s almost imperceptible smile froze for a moment.
This was something she had never done before, as driving was naturally the driver’s job.
But Yun Yuwan set down her folder and trotted over to him: “Brother, I also have a gift for you, a cigarette case that I crocheted myself.”
Wen Yangzhi’s fingertips lightly touched the white cigarette holder: “Hmm.”
When Assistant Zheng heard this, she felt it was disgraceful.
Crocheted by herself?

Those handmade DIY gift boxes from the internet that sell for a dozen yuan each.
Does she have any idea what a cigarette case means to a businessman? It’s about face and style. If Director Wen were to pull out a hand-crocheted cigarette case worth a dozen yuan in front of the elites, he would probably become the laughingstock of them all.
It’s not fitting for his status at all.
However, Yun Yuwan pulled out a cigarette case from her LV Onthego tote bag. The complex traditional Chinese weaving technique was crocodile leather. Most luxury brands were foreign, and it was nearly impossible to see such a Chinese intangible cultural heritage weaving design.
Elegant and refined, although it was crocodile skin, it was devoid of that meticulousness and aggressive competitiveness one often finds. Instead, it was mild and substantial, much like Wen Yangzhi’s demeanor—luxuriously at ease.
Assistant Zheng felt somewhat surprised.
Wen Yangzhi’s gaze fell on that cigarette case.
Yun Yuwan tried to gauge his expression, but it was too steady to discern any depth.
It was only after Yun Yuwan and Assistant Zheng left
that Wen Yangzhi snuffed out his cigarette, picked up the case, examined it for a long while, and then placed it into a drawer.
Assistant Zheng felt like she was holding her breath the whole trip, staying silent, just wanting to drop Yun Yuwan off at home to be freed.
However, as the car stopped in front of Wen Garden, the graceful girl in the back seat suddenly spoke out: “Assistant Zheng.”
“What’s the matter?” Assistant Zheng felt annoyed inside, unsure if the girl was about to make some unreasonable demand.
But the girl simply asked her in a serene voice, “Perhaps you have another employer?”
Assistant Zheng felt a bit strange, and the next second, she heard the girl’s gentle voice:
“Or is it that you fancy my brother?”
Assistant Zheng’s heart skipped a beat, forcing a smile: “Why would you think that?”
Yun Yuwan’s soft tone carried a chill of early spring: “You take the Wen family’s money, you shouldn’t be giving me attitude.”
Yun Yuwan was looking into the rearview mirror, as if she could see her.
Directly exposing everything.
Assistant Zheng could see the girl’s expression clear as day, as if being forced to face her, even though Yun Yuwan couldn’t see her front.
The girl even wore a gentle smile: “If you feel aggrieved receiving a salary from the Wen family, you are of course free not to take it.”
She didn’t lose her temper, yet she was intimidating; she could say things that would make someone cry in the softest voice.
Assistant Zheng inexplicably felt a chill in her legs but maintained her smile: “Miss Yun, I don’t understand what you mean. I have always been respectful to you from the start——”
Yun Yuwan interrupted her: “Do you know why my brother suddenly asked you to drive me?”
“I…” Assistant Zheng stiffened.
Yun Yuwan merely smiled: “I’ll get off now; you can go back.”
Leaving someone in the car feeling waves of cold chills.
Yun Yuwan was unassuming, but not foolish. Living under other people’s roofs while operating her own brand well, being popular from a young age due to her exceptional interpersonal skills, she was never foolish, nor would she concede unconditionally.
Assistant Zheng could only think of four words:
Carrot and stick.
So like Director Wen in his ways of handling things. She had always thought this kind of demeanor should be called noble, but unexpectedly, she saw it in Yun Yuwan.
