The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife
Chapter 851 - Chapter 851 Chapter 851 I Have a Fiancé Now

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: I Have a Fiance Now Chapter 851: Chapter 851: I Have a Fiance Now “Thank you, but someone is already coming to pick me up.” Hai Lan slipped on her high heels, donned her large sunglasses, and walked away without looking back.

Wen Jingheng didn’t mind and followed her downstairs.

However, once they exited the restaurant, the car Hai Lan had called for hadn’t arrived yet.

“You all go ahead, the person picking me up will be here in a few minutes,” Hai Lan said after she took a phone call.

“I’ll stay here with her and wait; you all can go,” Wen Jingheng added.

Fine, if they didn’t leave now, they’d just be third wheels.

The others tactfully went on their way, and Hai Lan could certainly see the affection Wen Jingheng held for her.

From behind her sunglasses, she glanced at him and said, “Mr. Wen, you can leave, too. There’s no need to keep me company.”

Wen Jingheng calmly opened the car door, and under the streetlights, he smiled with a touch of scholarly grace, “I can leave, but how about you come with me instead?”

“Mr. Wen, I don’t think we’re that familiar,” Hai Lan bluntly said.

Wen Jingheng wasn’t offended and continued staring at her with a profound gaze, “I thought we were friends.”

“At most, a nodding acquaintance.”

“So, in Miss Hai’s eyes, I’m quite disappointing.”

“No, Mr. Wen, you’re very nice. But I have a fiance,” Hai Lan said, and went straight towards a Bentley not far away.

Wen Jingheng was startled for a moment before turning around, only to see a man stepping out of the Bentley. He recognized the man; he was the son of the Wei Family’s head, right…

Zhijie removed his suit jacket, considerately draped it over Hai Lan, and then opened the car door for her.

Hai Lan got in the car, and so did Zhijie. Their car swiftly drove off.

Wen Jingheng was left standing in place, dazed for a while.

In his heart, he felt inexplicably lost…

She was engaged, yet, why was there an urge to snatch her away?

Wen Jingheng got into the car expressionlessly, the driver being his assistant. He respectfully asked, “Director, where to now?”

“Let’s go back…”

“Okay.”

As their car drove along the road, Wen Jingheng couldn’t shake Hai Lan’s words from his mind: But I have a fiance.

He suddenly asked, “Has Wei Jianye’s son gotten engaged?”

The assistant was taken aback for a moment before he realized who was being referred to, “You mean his son Wei Zhijie? I haven’t heard any news of an engagement…”

Wen Jingheng nodded, then fell silent again.

His eyes were shadowed and unreadable.

Qiao Ning and Chai Xiyang didn’t go straight home but went to pick up Yifan from the Chai family villa.

It was the weekend when they usually spent time with their child, but they had been delayed by Lin Xinxin’s matters.

By this time, it was already ten in the evening.

Yifan usually went to bed early, but today, he had been stubbornly staying awake.

The little guy was snuggled on one end of the living room sofa, fixated on the cartoon on TV, but his eyelids kept drooping.

When he felt himself about to fall asleep, he quickly woke himself up and rubbed his eyes with his little hands.

Chai’s father watched him, feeling a pang of heartache, “Yifan, go to sleep. Your mom and dad probably won’t be here for a while.”

“Grandpa, I’m watching the cartoon…” Yifan said with drowsy eyes.

It wasn’t the cartoon he was truly waiting for; clearly, he was waiting for someone.

Chai’s father was getting a bit irritated. Why hadn’t Chai Xiyang and the rest come yet? Just as he was about to make a call, the voice of the housekeeper suddenly rang out.

“Master, Young Master, the Young Master and Miss Qiao have returned!”

Yifan instantly snapped to alertness, and upon seeing the two figures enter, he ran towards them thrilled.

“Daddy, Mommy!”
