But then she shrugged, thinking it didn’t matter. So what if she looked ugly? She didn’t care about his opinion anyway. Who told her that her current status was just an insignificant maid!
Looking through the lace curtains, she saw a fashionable young woman step out of a luxurious car, walking in expensive high heels, slowly approaching under Yan Xukang’s guidance.
Seeing her entire outfit was branded, exuding a noble temperament, Lin Weinan inexplicably felt a sourness in her heart.
She lowered her head and looked at her roadside stall clothes and simple attire. The sudden surge of inferiority made her footsteps seem heavy as she turned to go upstairs.
Lin Weinan entered the study but didn’t see Ye Lixie working. Instead, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cigarette, skillfully exhaling white smoke, his gaze lost in the city’s neon night scene.
Looking at his back, Lin Weinan remembered the kiss from the afternoon.
When her lips were close to his, she smelled his unique clean scent and tobacco smell. She couldn’t deny that for her, experiencing her first kiss, she was indeed deeply attracted by the masculine aura he exuded in that moment.
For some reason, she suddenly felt lonely, her heart confused, unsure of the strange emotion rising in her chest.
It felt a bit sour.
He clearly heard the footsteps stop behind him, but there was no sound of speech. Ye Zha Xie slightly turned his body and looked at Lin Wei Wan standing at the doorway.
She looked to be in a bad mood, and her appearance was somewhat haggard, with a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, as if dampened by sweat…
Had she been doing some laborious chores?
“What’s wrong?” His voice was cold yet slightly gentle.
She raised her eyes to meet his, suddenly feeling the obvious social status gap between them. If not for that accident, she believed they would have been like parallel lines that would never intersect, merely existing in the same city.
Although she understood that swallowing certain inherent inequalities was an unavoidable fate in this world, she was ultimately an ordinary person, unable to escape the innate human emotions of resentment and grievance.
She shrugged lightly, “Uncle Yan says the guests have arrived. Please go to the dining room for a meal.”
