Chapter 236 Ambiguous Relationship at the Villa
As the two spoke, the Xia Wanqing sisters had already run to the car. Seeing the brand-new, imposing black G-Wagon before them, their eyes lit up instantly, filled with surprise.
The Young Lady circled the car, her small hand gently stroking the cold, sturdy body, her tone full of wonder: "Wow! What a cool car! It's too good-looking! It's so much more spacious than the mclaren from earlier!"
Xia Wanqing's eyes also brightened. She looked up at Lin Chen inside the car, her tone carrying a gentle reproach: "You're too impulsive. You bought it just like that, without any hesitation."
Though she said he was impulsive, her heart was incredibly sweet.
She knew too well that Lin Chen was never one to be extravagant; he simply didn't want them to suffer the slightest grievance, nor did he want them to be uncomfortable squeezed into a car.
This kind of favoritism, where he kept them in mind in everything, was far more heart-stirring than the luxury car itself.
Lin Chen smiled and pushed open the passenger door, his tone gentle and doting: "Get in. From now on, you won't have to squeeze into cars anymore when you go out."
The sisters obediently got into the car.
The spacious interior was roomy and comfortable, a completely different experience from the cramped, stifling sports car earlier.
The soft leather seats, the solid chassis feel, and the quiet cabin environment allowed them to relax instantly.
The car drove smoothly away from the Outlets, heading all the way toward the hillside villa in the city center.
Along the way, the evening breeze brushed their faces, the windows were half-lowered, the neon lights on the street slowly receded, and fragments of light and shadow sprinkled over the three of them.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped steadily in the courtyard of the detached hillside villa.
Pushing open the villa door, the minimalist luxury decor style and spacious, airy layout were revealed. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows lay the entire city night view. The evening breeze blew in through the gaps in the windows, carrying a faint chill, gentle and cozy.
"Is this the villa you bought?" "It's so big!" "It's really beautiful," the sisters surveyed the place.
"Yeah, many of the ones next door haven't been renovated yet."
The sisters placed the pile of newly bought clothes on the sofa and slumped relaxed onto the soft fabric sofa, looking lazy.
"We shopped all afternoon, I'm exhausted."
The Young Lady sprawled on the sofa, her legs stretched out, her small face slightly flushed, carrying the fatigue from shopping, her voice soft.
Xia Wanqing was no better off; she leaned against the back of the sofa, tilting her head slightly to relax her neck, her neckline slender and graceful.
She turned her head to look at Lin Chen, who was closing and locking the door, her eyes filled with a soft, flickering light as she whispered: "Thank you so much for today, for accompanying us for so long, and for specifically buying the car."
Lin Chen casually took off his jacket, hung it on the entryway coat rack, turned, and walked to the sofa. Looking down at the two from above, a faint smile curled on his lips: "Do you still need to say thank you to me?"
He sat down in the single sofa opposite them, his gaze landing on the identical twins.
The light fell softly on their faces, highlighting their jade-like fair skin, delicate and moving features, and a clean, gentle temperament that made it impossible to look away.
The Young Lady rolled her eyes, a bit mischievous, and looked up at Lin Chen: "Then Lin Chen, did you buy the car specifically because you felt bad that we were tired from squeezing into cars?"
The Young Lady's tone was soft, carrying a probing coquettishness, her eyes bright, straightforward, and bold.
Lin Chen felt a slight itch in his heart from her direct gaze. He nodded frankly, his voice low and warm: "What else? Watching you squeeze in and be uncomfortable, I definitely couldn't bear it."
A simple sentence, gentle and sincere.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became ambiguous and lingering. The evening breeze gently blew the curtains, the surroundings quieted down, leaving only the sound of the three people's steady breathing.
Xia Wanqing's cheeks quietly flushed, and her heartbeat inexplicably sped up a little.
She was always introverted and gentle, unlike her sister who was bold and straightforward, but at this moment, enveloped by Lin Chen's gentle gaze, the feelings in her heart could no longer be hidden, and a soft throb spread throughout her body.
She gently pursed her lips and spoke in a low voice: "But... you are too good to us, we don't even know how to repay you."
These words carried a touch of shyness, a touch of sincerity, and a trace of imperceptible reliance.
Lin Chen leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees, his gaze gentle and deep, slowly landing on the two women, his tone carrying a faint doting: "No need to repay me intentionally. Just staying with me obediently is enough."
The Young Lady's eyes lit up upon hearing this; she sat straight up from the sofa and leaned in a little closer, a sweet, fresh scent wafting toward him as she boldly pressed: "Then what if we want to thank you properly?"
The moment she leaned forward, her soft hair swayed gently, and the unique, sweet scent of a young girl lingered in the air.
The distance suddenly closed, and the ambiguous atmosphere was instantly maxed out.
Seeing this, Xia Wanqing hurriedly reached out and gently tugged at her sister's sleeve, as if shy, or perhaps to cover up the panic in her heart, scolding in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."
But her own earlobes were already bright red, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Lin Chen again, while her heart was in a mess, both sweet and shy.
Lin Chen watched the sisters' completely different reactions: one bold and straightforward, passionate and lively; the other introverted and shy, gentle and lingering. Two extreme beauties colliding together made warmth surge in his heart.
He chuckled, his gaze so gentle it was almost lingering, and spoke slowly: "If you really want to thank me... just do the same as last time tonight."
There was no forceful coercion, only gentle expectation, yet it was more heart-stirring than any love words.
The Young Lady nodded without hesitation, her eyes curved with joy: "Okay!"
Xia Wanqing was silent, gently biting her lower lip, not refusing.
She lifted her eyes slightly, secretly looking at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with gentle reliance, silently acquiescing to everything.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights were brilliant, and the evening breeze blew gently.
In the quiet villa living room, the ambiguous atmosphere slowly spread and heated up, gentle and lingering, wrapping the three of them tightly within it.
It was another enviable night.
The alarm went off at eight o'clock.
"Lin Chen, are you up yet? The flight is at ten, I'm still waiting for you to come pick me up!"
"Ah, had fun all night, almost forgot about the company business."
"Alright, alright, I'm coming right away."
Looking at the sisters on his left and right, reluctant to part.
"You two make yourselves at home. I still have to go on a business trip to Beijing today to talk about investment matters with ByteDance."
"Mm, you go ahead. It's too tiring, I'm going to sleep a while longer."
