Chapter 884: Chapter 884: The First Time Lying to Hai Lan Chapter 884: Chapter 884: The First Time Lying to Hai Lan The call connected quickly.

From the other end came Wei Zhijie’s gentle voice, “Hai Lan, is there something you need from me?”

Hai Lan really wanted to say, can’t I contact you for no reason?

“I’m going to Xiaotang’s house for a gathering, are you coming?” she asked directly.

Wei Zhijie glanced at Yun Shan beside him, who was staring at him eagerly, and for the first time, he lied to Hai Lan, “I won’t be coming, I still have work that I haven’t finished.”

“Alright then, I’ll hang up,” Hai Lan said straightforwardly.

“Okay.” Wei Zhijie put away his phone and smiled at Yun Shan, “Little girl, your brother has made a big sacrifice for you this time, even turning down your sister’s invitation.”

Yun Shan was shocked, “You turned down sister’s invitation for me?”

“Yes,” Wei Zhijie nodded, with a look that clearly begged for praise.

“Why?” Yun Shan asked excitedly, her heartbeat increasing, “Brother Zhijie, why would you turn down sister’s invitation for me? Aren’t you afraid she’ll be mad if she finds out?”

Wei Zhijie smiled indulgently, “Of course, I’m afraid she’ll be angry, but I promised to accompany you to choose a store location, didn’t I? To keep my promise, I had to sacrifice a bit.”

Yun Shan felt a bit disappointed.

She thought Brother Zhijie had turned down sister because he cared more about her.

It turned out it was just to keep his promise.

But still, Brother Zhijie had turned down sister for her sake. Thinking of it that way, Yun Shan cheered up again.

She hugged Wei Zhijie’s arm buoyantly and laughed happily, “Brother Zhijie, you’re so nice to me! I knew you were the best to me, and to thank you for being so wonderful, how about I treat you to some ice cream?”

Wei Zhijie secretly enjoyed her adoration.

“Eat ice cream in this cold weather?” he laughed heartily.

Yun Shan’s eyes twinkled, and in her innocent exuberance, she said, “Then let’s go for sugar-coated haws! They’re sour and sweet, so delicious!”

“Haha, alright, let’s go get sugar-coated haws…”

Then the two of them happily went off to shop, with Yun Shan hugging his arm and hopping along.

To an outsider, they might have appeared to be a couple…

…

On the other side, as soon as Hai Lan had hung up the phone, Wen Jingheng casually asked, “Is he coming?”

“He’s not coming, he said he was busy,” Hai Lan replied nonchalantly.

The corner of Wen Jingheng’s mouth curved into a smile, thinking that kid knew his place; he really didn’t want to see him!

Throughout the trip, Wen Jingheng was in a good mood.

He also talked about a lot of topics with Hai Lan.

It was strange, every time they talked, Hai Lan felt very comfortable.

Wen Jingheng was well-informed and could discuss anything, which Hai Lan liked in a conversation partner.

Wen Jingheng felt the same way; he also liked talking to a smart woman like Hai Lan.

The two of them chatted all the way and quickly arrived at Hai Xiaotang’s house.

They were the latest to arrive, Chai Xiyang and the others had already been there for a while.

Mainly because Yifan knew he was visiting Haohao and Chenchen’s home today, and he had been unable to contain his excitement since early morning.

Hai Lan and Wen Jingheng hadn’t even entered the living room when they heard the children’s laughter and playful noise.

Instantly, Hai Lan’s face lit up with a smile, and she greeted them happily as she entered the living room, “Little darlings, look who’s here!”

But all three kids completely ignored her, each of them excitedly surrounding Wen Jingheng.

“Uncle Wen, you’re here!”

“Uncle Wen, hello, I missed you so much.”

“Uncle Wen, I missed you too…”
