He Qingyun seemed reluctant to eat. Somehow Ren Yushi managed to persuade her, and He Qingyun ate with an expression of great helplessness.
Ye Wanwan felt the irritation welling up inside her again, her expression slightly stern, and then she quickened her pace involuntarily.
Shen Yi naturally knew what was causing her anxiety and glanced over that way before redirecting his gaze.
When the two came out of the restaurant, they found that it had started to snow outside. Ye Wanwan said with a touch of surprise, "It’s really snowing, yay!"
In Beijing, it had been snowing some time ago, and although it stopped in the past few days, it seemed everyone felt that snow and Christmas were more fitting together. She had seen people making wishes on their social circles, hoping for snow on Christmas Day.
And unexpectedly, it really started to snow tonight.
"Yeah, it’s snowing," Shen Yi said, while putting a scarf on Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan let Shen Yi wrap the scarf around her, seemingly having forgotten about He Qingyun and watching the pedestrians walking in the snow with a joyous face.
Just as Shen Yi finished with the scarf, Uncle Zhang approached, holding a black straight-handle umbrella, "Sir, Madam."
Shen Yi took the umbrella, opened it, and walked out step by step with his arm around Ye Wanwan’s shoulders.
While watching others stroll in the snow had its own charm, Ye Wanwan was still sensible. She would feel very guilty if Zhouzhou ended up uncomfortable.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan was finally cheerier, Shen Yi asked softly, "Do you want to take a walk?"
He was holding the umbrella, and Ye Wanwan was wearing a thick coat, so it wouldn’t be a problem to walk a bit.
Ye Wanwan shook her head, "Let’s not. Let’s go back."
The snow made the ground slippery, and it was crowded that day, so Ye Wanwan did not want to take the risk.
"Okay, then let’s go back," Shen Yi said as he led Ye Wanwan back to the car.
Uncle Zhang started the car to head back. Ye Wanwan’s phone rang several times. She took it out and saw that Song Ziyi had sent a message in the group chat.
There were also other messages that she hadn’t had time to reply to during dinner.
Ye Wanwan began replying to messages with her phone, Shen Yi kept a watchful eye on her expression, and seeing that she had truly put the matter of He Qingyun behind her for now, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she didn’t keep dwelling on it, that was fine. As for the matter with He Qingyun, he would deal with it as soon as possible.
When Shen Yi woke up, Ye Wanwan was still sleeping. He got out of bed carefully, then stealthily washed and changed clothes.
After he was ready to leave, Shen Yi went over to the bed, tucked the corner of the blanket around Ye Wanwan, kissed her forehead, and then left the bedroom.
Shen Yi went downstairs for breakfast before leaving the house. As he stepped out, he noticed that last night’s snow seemed to have lasted quite a while, as there was now a thin layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
Shen Yi stopped at the villa entrance, turned back to the butler and instructed, "If Wanwan goes out to the yard today, remember to be careful."
"Yes, sir," the butler replied respectfully.
Only then did Shen Yi leave the house assured.
Just like the previous days, Shen Yi planned to finish all his forefront work in the morning and then return home for lunch with Ye Wanwan, or let Ye Wanwan have lunch by herself, and he would be back by the time she woke up from her nap.
