Lai Wei lifted his eyelids and stared at him, "Hmm?"
"You won’t experience such a thing, I won’t allow it to happen. If my sister ever scolds you, I’ll protect you. Besides, my sister wouldn’t do that."
This was his understanding of Hai Ling over the years. Hai Ling, despite being a strong woman, still retains a touch of gentleness with her family and has a mild temperament.
Lai Wei felt much calmer after Hai En’s repeated assurances, and she smiled, "Hmm."
Led by the waiter, the two arrived at the private room. The waiter opened the door for them and made a polite gesture to invite them in.
Once inside, they shut the door immediately.
Hai Ling was on the phone on the other side of the screen. Through the traditional painting screen, you could vaguely see Hai Ling’s silhouette, with a good figure. Lai Wei’s mental preparation was instantly undone. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel[f]ire.net
Hai Ling sounded very stern on the phone, issuing instructions briskly. It took about ten minutes for her to come out from behind the screen, marking Lai Wei’s first real meeting with Hai Ling.
Lai Wei thought, the real person is indeed prettier and more charismatic than the online photos she had seen before.
Hai En called out "Sis," and then introduced Lai Wei, "Sis, this is Lai Wei, my girlfriend."
Lai Wei curved her lips into a smile, "Sister Hai Ling."
"Pfft..." Hai Ling could tell the young girl was a bit nervous. After sitting down, she chuckled upon hearing Lai Wei call her Sister Hai Ling, "No need to be so tense, Weiwei. You’re my brother’s girlfriend. There’s no need to be distant between us. Just call me Sis, like Hai En."
Lai Wei thought this wasn’t good, but Hai Ling didn’t care about such things.
Hai Ling just wanted to see what was special about the girl who could make her brother so captivated. She wondered why Zhao Linlin couldn’t do the same.
After meeting, Hai Ling roughly formed an impression, which was the difference between the young girl and Zhao Linlin. Hai En’s attentive care for Lai Wei was so detailed that she almost couldn’t recognize whether the person across was her brother. Peeling shrimp, removing fish bones, asking if it’s cold or hot.
He almost fed it directly into Lai Wei’s mouth.
Hai Ling watched contentedly as her brother served someone else. After a while, she sipped some red wine, "Hai En."
Hai En was busy peeling shrimp for Lai Wei, he responded with a hum upon hearing this, and continued peeling. Lai Wei felt a bit uncomfortable and pinched his waist. "Sis is calling you, what are you doing?"
Only then did Hai En look up at Hai Ling. There was a hint of amusement in Hai Ling’s eyes. "Hai En, am I your sister?"
Hai Ling nodded, "That’s good. Then, peel a shrimp for me too?"
Hai En paused his actions, then smiled wryly. He handed over the shrimp he had just peeled, which was meant for Lai Wei, "Here you go."
He turned to Lai Wei and said, "Weiwei, what else would you like to eat? I can get it for you. Want me to peel a crab?"
Lai Wei barely had a chance to answer before he kept busy. He hardly ate himself, focusing all his attention on serving Lai Wei. As a sister, witnessing such a scene, would she feel sad?
No, she only felt a bit emotional that her brother had grown up.
Hai Ling’s impression of Lai Wei was very positive, largely due to Jian Dan’s friendship. According to her understanding of Bo Qin, if Lai Wei had any character issues, he wouldn’t let her associate too closely with Jian Dan. Being close friends for years indicated Lai Wei’s character was quite good.
Regarding family background, Hai Ling didn’t place much importance. Having a capable person help out in the company, along with her brother, would be welcome. It would prevent her from being so busy she couldn’t even find time to date.
Initially, the aura made Lai Wei a bit uncomfortable when meeting Hai Ling, but later, as they talked, she understood Hai Ling’s personality, and Lai Wei was quite happy to chat with her. Mainly, because there was someone serving during the meal, she didn’t feel particularly hungry.
Hai Ling quite liked Lai Wei; her temperament and nature were very much aligned with her own. Hai Ling raised her eyebrows, jokingly saying, "After graduation, do you plan to continue studying or marry our Hai En?"
Lai Wei thought the topic switched too quickly. She looked at Hai En, then at Hai Ling, feeling a bit uneasy. Hai En interceded, "Sis, you should ask me these things. How would Weiwei know? Especially since she doesn’t know my proposal timing, right?"
How could Hai Ling not see that he was being protective?
She found it amusing but also felt a bit sentimental, "I know you have your thoughts. However, if neither of you has anything you’re particularly passionate about, do come to the company to help me. Since collaborating with the Bo Corporation, the company’s value has gone way up, and I’ve been extremely busy lately. Your sister is about to buckle under pressure."
