Chapter 1511: Chapter 1526: Calculating Gleam

"Is that so? Just as well, I remembered I have plans to go to the spa with a friend. Let’s save the visit for another time."

"Okay," Lin Junyang replied, turning to leave first.

Xie Yuting couldn’t linger at the villa either, so she followed him out, one after the other.

"Junyang, you’ve said we’re friends, so can I ask you to a movie next time I feel bored?" Xie Yuting suddenly asked as Lin Junyang was getting into the car.

"Yuting, I do consider you a friend, but you know the nature of my work, especially now with the Special Training Team just established. I might not have time for a movie," Lin Junyang apologized.

"That’s okay, I’m talking about when you have time. I understand you’re busy with work, and the Special Training Team is different from the regular Guard Team; I can understand that. But I hope you won’t refuse when you do have time."

Xie Yuting looked at Lin Junyang with hopeful, wet eyes—a look that was both endearing and heart-wrenching, like a little creature abandoned by someone.

Lin Junyang thought of her recent divorce, his heart softened, and he nodded, "Alright, I’ll spend time with you when I can."

Saying so, he opened the car door and got in.

Xie Yuting watched the Range Rover speed away, then glanced at the villa beside her, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes.

With the house sorted, Lin Junyang was in a good mood.

He opened his phone and sent a message to the silly woman: Come to the Imperial City for New Year’s.

There wasn’t a reply for a while, Lin Junyang checked the time—half-past two; she should be in class. If he guessed correctly, she’d still be running on the two-thousand-meter track by now.

Imagining that silly girl panting with her little tongue out from exhaustion on the field, Lin Junyang’s smile widened.

Sure enough, at ten to three, he received a reply—a reply that couldn’t be simpler.

Hmm! —Silly Woman

He originally thought she was angry that he’d not comforted her for having to run the track, but soon enough, another message followed.

Ranran and Instructor Mu are getting married on New Year’s, you won’t forget that, right? No need to remind me; I’m definitely going, just arriving a few days later than Ranran. I’ll go straight to the Mu Family to be her bridesmaid before the wedding.—Silly Woman

What a silly girl, coming to the Imperial City not even meaning to see him, afraid perhaps he’d take her to the Lin Family?

Thinking of the newly bought house, Lin Junyang’s smile grew bigger.

No, when Tuzi comes to the Imperial City, you come too. If Mu Family is too chaotic, you can come to my place. —Lin Junyang

After a thought, Lin Junyang sent another message.

Come to the Imperial City during winter break too, I’ll take you to see the snow. —Lin Junyang

He knows she’s never seen real snow; it’s something she’s always longed for.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao, seeing Lin Junyang’s successive messages, resisted throwing her phone away.

What on earth is this guy up to? Asking her to go to the Imperial City for New Year’s is one thing, but winter break, what for?

Taking her to see snow? She knows full well how heavy his training duties are. Fly thousands of kilometers just to see snow with him and then fly back? She’d rather stay home with mom.

Beside her, An Ran watched Xiao Xiao’s strange expression, stretched her neck while sipping water, "What’s up? Whose message is making our goddess Xiao Xiao so vexed?"

Xiao Xiao instinctively hid the phone but didn’t expect An Ran had already caught a glimpse of the content.
