It was already Sunday—people's most awaited rest day other than the holidays celebrated for the month.
With Shi Lian having another date with Zhang Ren, with Pan An spending time with Shu Xian at home after spending another day in the mall, Wang Lei found himself feeling lonely.
He was actually hoping if he could spend time with his little sister, Shi Lian. Most times if he doesn't have plans with another woman, he would often watch movies with Shi Lian or he would often go on an outing with her.
Now that she's busy with her newly formed love life, Wang Lei decided to spend time with Pan An.
But alas! Even his dearest best friend is so busy!
When he called him earlier this morning if he could come by or if they could go out, Pan An immediately turned him down and told him that he would be spending time with Shu Xian by having a whole-day movie marathon!
Wang Lei couldn't help but scoff right after their call ended because Pan An would always go with the flow when it came to going out together every Sunday. Now he doesn't want to go out now that he has finally moved on with the past and has found another love of his life!
His sister is no longer single… his best friend is no longer single…
How did it end up like this? Why did Wang Lei's interest in fooling with other women disappear so suddenly?
It all happened ever since he grew interested and got closer with Yu Yan.
Wang Lei let out a deep sigh as he was lounging on the park bench in the biggest park found in their city. With him dressed up simply, he could still get the attention of other people most especially now that he decided to go out alone without being accompanied by a bodyguard.
"Do you see that man?"
"Wow! He looks so damn fine!"
"Why is he alone?"
"Oooh… I really want to approach him and talk to him."
"Even as a girl, I'd be insecure beside such a handsome man like him."
"Hey, isn't he that famous handsome CEO of W & S?"
"He's out in this park alone…"
"Hey may be alone, but no one would even dare approach him to talk to him."
"He's so hot—is he single?"
Wang Lei could hear the whispers—the murmurs… but he didn't care and he never gave even a slight attention to it.
With him pushing his sunglasses up above his head and wore it as a headband, most of the girls who were watching him swooned, admiring how tantalizingly handsome he was.
He looked at them and gave them a smirk. He noticed some girls who were beautiful and attractive in their own way, however, none of them actually took his fancy.
If Wang Lei was like how he was before, he could have already chosen one and will fool with her and would be over with it.
But then again, every time that he would think that he would try to do so, suddenly, he wouldn't want to do it because he would think of someone else.
Yu Yan.
Wanting to snap himself out of his thoughts for not being his usual self for quite a long time now, he internally groaned and sat up, getting the attention of the women who were watching her. Not sparing them another look, he walked away.
Why is it that he kept thinking of his secretary Yu Yan now? She had been working for him for years now and only recently has she kept bothering his mind!
Especially since the day that he had helped his secretary from the issue that she had been struggling with and hiding for who knows how long. From then on since he helped her, Yu Yan had been occasionally appearing in his thoughts!
Why?
His brows furrowed together and his lips turned into a tight line. With his step getting heavier by the second, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw someone who almost took his breath away.
Her laughter was heard as she chased around a little boy. She was wearing a simple pink and white day dress and her wavy brown hair was pulled up into a messy bun. She had a natural blush on her cheeks and her natural pink tint on her lips gave her more beauty.
She need not put anything on her face—her smile alone is enough to brighten one's day and make any person's heart melt.
Of all the places and of all the time in the world…
Why did Wang Lei suddenly see his secretary Yu Yan now when he was trying his best to shove her out of his thoughts?
"No~! Mommy!"
The little boy shrieked in his mother's arms the moment Yu Yan caught him. With her cuddling him and planting many kisses on his face, her little mooncake couldn't help but giggle, his grandmother setting up the food on a paper plate.
"Come on now, you two," the sweet old woman said, getting her daughter's and grandson's attention. "Time to eat."
The two of them walked back to their picnic area. With them already settling down on the sheet that they set on the clean, green grass, the little boy looked around until his eyes widened, pointing at Wang Lei and announcing his presence to the group.
"Mommy, Nainai! Isn't that the handsome guàiwù?"
Wang Lei's eyes slightly widened in surprise the moment the two women looked at him. When his eyes specifically locked gazes with Yu Yan's, he couldn't help but furrow his brows when he felt his heart flutter in his chest.
'What is this feeling?' he thought to himself, experiencing this for the first time. 'I have never felt this way before.'
Noticing that her boss is standing still, Yu Yan stood up elegantly, smiling at Wang Lei then approached him with her son.
"It's rare for you to come outside alone, Mr. Wang Lei," Yu Yan said first, now greeting him. "Good day."
Wang Lei just nodded, smiling at her and her son as he only grunted as his answer. "En."
"Handsome guàiwù, handsome guàiwù!"
Yu Yan's little mooncake tugged on his hand, getting his attention as he beamed his cutest smile.
"Come eat with us! Mommy told me that it is polite to invite friends to eat when we unexpectedly meet. I'm a good boy and following my mommy! Come eat with us!"
Wang Lei couldn't help but grin genuinely at the little boy. With him already squatting to give him a pat on the head, he agreed to his invitation, finding it difficult for him to say no.
"If your mother accepts on my behalf, I will gladly join you."
Yu Yan's son looked up at his mother expectantly. With his eyes filled with hope and joy, of course, Yu Yan could not say no and indeed, it is right when her son had told them that it is polite to invite someone to eat.
If she says no, then it would just give confusion to her son since she taught him the opposite.
"Of course," Yu Yan said, Wang Lei now standing up as they looked at each other. "Mr. Wang Lei can join us anytime."
"Yay, yay!"
The little boy is overjoyed to the point that he jumped three times before running back to his grandmother.
With Yu Yan's mother smiling at him and now appearing to serve him food such as two pieces of sandwiches along with salad, she felt happy that they have another person eating with them.
With the two of them walking together, it was Yu Yan who began the conversation first.
"What brings you here, Mr. Wang Lei?"
"Just out on a walk," Wang Lei immediately answered and added, "and please, we're not at work. I already told you to address me by my name unless we're working."
"Oh, right… sorry. It just easily rolled off my tongue."
"No worries. Thank you for inviting me for a snack. I hope I'm not intruding."
"Oh, no, no! It's the least we could do since you let us live in your other house!"
Wang Lei only smiled, not knowing how to reply to what she said.
He had almost forgotten that he was letting them stay in his other home. How could he forget about that when Yu Yan staying there with her family was the reason why he had not visited for a long time?
With this in thought, he turned his head to look at her, the two of them already settling down on the blanket as he gave a quick greeting to Yu Yan's mother as she handed him over his share of food.
"By the way, I'd like to visit the house later. How did you all come here?"
"We commuted," Yu Yan answered, a small smile appearing on her face as she watched her son eat his sandwich, not a picky eater.
"Then you don't have to commute," Pan An said, the three of them looking at him as he told them his suggestion with a sweet smile on his face. "Since I'm going to visit the place, you can all go ride in my car when it's time to go."
