Xie Wang: "When I'm with you, everything tastes delicious."
Ling Shuangjiang raised her hand and pinched his ear with a smile: "Okay."
The two found a corner and took off their masks.
After ordering by scanning the QR code, the steak was served quickly.
Ling Shuangjiang took a bite: "It tastes like high school."
Xie Wang was clearly more interested in Ling Shuangjiang's high school experiences and asked, "Were you also the school heartthrob in high school?"
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "I wouldn't call myself the school heartthrob. That kind of title wasn't popular back then."
"Do you have many suitors? Are they all men and women?"
"Fortunately, most of them are men. When I was in high school, same-sex marriage was already legal, so I didn't hide my sexual orientation."
What was Ling Shuangjiang like at eighteen?
They must be young and adorable.
Xie Wang deeply regretted not meeting Ling Shuangjiang sooner.
Despite having been betrothed since childhood, he didn't gain any advantage and almost lost his wife.
Xie Wang helped Ling Shuangjiang cut the steak and gently pushed it to him: "If only our childhood betrothal could have been met sooner, then I could have met you sooner."
Ling Shuangjiang: "If we had met earlier, our Xie Zhinan might not have fallen for me."
Xie Wang: "That's not necessarily true. If I had met you earlier, I would have gone to England with you, and those bastards wouldn't have dared to bully you."
Ling Shuangjiang fed him a bite of steak: "It's not too late to meet now."
Several young girls sat behind them. They whispered among themselves and took pictures of the two of them.
Is this Xie Wang?
"It seems so!"
"Could that guy opposite him be Frostfall?"
"We can wait until they leave and then see."
After finishing their meal, the two left hand in hand.
As they were about to leave the restaurant, Ling Shuangjiang's shoelaces came undone. Just as he was about to bend down to tie them, Xie Wang had already squatted down and tied them for him.
Ling Shuangjiang hadn't even had time to put on her sunglasses yet; her eyes were filled with affection, curving gently.
At this moment, the girl who was watching them was completely certain.
This is Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang.
After the two left, the group was very excited and immediately posted about their chance encounter on Weibo, along with a picture of Xie Wang tying Ling Shuangjiang's shoelaces.
Little Baozi is the cutest: I went to eat steak today and bumped into Shuangjiang and Boss Xie. Boss Xie is super handsome in person, with a great physique, like a celebrity. Most importantly, Shuangjiang's shoelaces came undone, and Boss Xie immediately knelt down to tie them for him! They were even holding hands!
This Weibo post was published and someone immediately replied.
[Was it at Yintai SKP?! They bought couple mugs from my store!]
[Ahhh, it's so sweet!]
[Oh my god! My favorite ship is actually real!]
[As expected, rumors that celebrities don't respond to are usually true.]
[Congratulations to Shuangjiang for marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a socialite! Hopefully, she can have two children within three years to solidify her position!]
[Haters, get lost! You're everywhere. Why don't you use that time to check on your idol? Aren't you tired of staring at Frost's Descent all day?]
[I'm so happy today! I have a feeling they'll be officially announcing their relationship soon.]
[My sister works on the show "Infinite Challenge," and they supposedly invited Shuangjiang and CEO Xie to the new couples special, but I don't know if they'll be available.]
That evening, Li Man kept an eye on Weibo and saw that the two of them had once again topped the Weibo hot search list, and she sighed inwardly.
If these two really don't end up together, their fans will be heartbroken.
Meanwhile, while Ling Shuangjiang was asleep, Xie Wang secretly tattled to his brothers, wanting them to help him figure out why Ling Shuangjiang refused to marry him this year.
[Xie Wang: I have a friend.]
[Xiang Ming, Chen Siqi, and Qi Hang have left the group chat.]
[Xie Wang: ...]
—
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
There are only three days left until the Lunar New Year.
After lunch, the Xie family drove a stretched Maybach to the neighborhood where Lin Yinci lived to pick her up.
Seeing Ye Wangshu constantly checking his appearance, Xie Wang smiled and said, "Mom, you don't need to be so serious. Aunt Lin is very easygoing and gentle."
Xie Lin raised his hand from behind: "Yes, I've seen her. Aunt Lin is incredibly beautiful and has a great presence."
Ye Wangshu glared at Xie Lin and looked at Xie Wang: "I'm just afraid that I won't leave a good impression and that people will dislike you. It's not easy for someone to want you, so I can't be negligent."
Xie Wang: "Aunt Lin likes me very much, so don't worry."
Ye Wangshu clearly didn't believe him and rolled his eyes at him.
Ling Shuangjiang and Lin Yinci were already waiting downstairs. When they saw Xie Wang's car, they waved to them.
Ye Wangshu hurriedly straightened his clothes, revealing a dignified and proper smile, and got out of the car to greet Lin Yinci.
"Mom, it's Frost's Descent, are you cold?"
Upon hearing that affectionate "Mom," Ye Wangshu glanced at Xie Wang, almost unable to suppress her smile.
His son called out so affectionately.
Xie Wang took Lin Yinci's arm and introduced her, "This is my mother."
Ye Wangshu nodded: "Hello, Yin Ci, it's been a long time."
Lin Yinci smiled and said, "Sister Wangshu, it's been a long time."
After getting on the bus, Ye Wangshu and Lin Yinci chatted and reminisced about the fun times they had together when they were children.
Ye Wangshu's parents and Lin Yinci's parents were old friends. When they were young, they lived together briefly for half a month and were quite familiar with each other.
In the back seat, Xie Lin played games with Ling Shuangjiang and Xie Wang, passing the long, boring time together.
Mr. Xie seemed to be isolated in his own world, silently looking at the magazine.
Two hours later, the car stopped at the hot spring resort.
Five staff members who were already waiting at the entrance helped everyone with their luggage and guided them to a separate courtyard.
This place is famous for its hot springs, but in addition to hot springs, it also has other entertainment options such as horse riding and golf courses.
This is a Japanese-style courtyard with four separate rooms. After Xie Wang first settled his parents in, he finally took Ling Shuangjiang back to their own room.
After all this fuss, it's already evening.
Xie Wang carefully inquired, "Frost's Descent, are you hungry? If you are, I'll order you something first. You can't soak in the hot spring on an empty stomach."
Ling Shuangjiang: "I'm not hungry, I ate a lot at noon."
Xie Wang nodded and began packing his luggage.
This time, in addition to bringing some necessities for the two of them, he also brought some other small toys.
This was a new product that the owner of the store he frequently bought from introduced to him.
After hiding the whip, Xie Wang carefully read the instructions, planning to try it out that evening.
To be honest, when he first received the little whip, he thought the toy was a bit perverted.
He did a quick online search and found that most methods of using it required Ling Shuangjiang to whip him with a leather whip.
He frowned slightly. How much pain must that have caused?
Of course, he could also smoke Ling Shuangjiang.
But does he dare?
He would rather whip himself than whip Ling Shuangjiang.
Only after carefully reading the instructions did he understand the wonders of this toy.
This whip needs to be used by his little frost while riding him.
With a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, Xie Wang muttered to himself, "Ascending to the top during Frost's Descent, how exciting."
Since their time in England, Xie Wang has been eating a vegetarian diet, waiting for Ling Shuangjiang to fully recover.
Today, he can finally eat meat.
"Xie Wang, what are you doing?" Ling Shuangjiang asked curiously when she saw him grinning foolishly for a long time.
Xie Wang cleared his throat: "It's nothing, I'm just crying."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Crying? Why are you crying?"
Xie Wang: "I'm crying because I can't get married before I turn 30."
Ling Shuangjiang chuckled: "Then go ahead and cry."
Xie Wang sighed: His little frost was really good to him, willing to let him vent on his own and give him the space to breathe freely.
Later that evening, Ye Wangshu and Lin Yinci knocked on the door, inviting Xie Wang and Ling Shuangjiang to go to the hot springs with them.
Ling Shuangjiang was ready: "Okay, we'll be right there."
Xie Wang made an excuse to decline: "I haven't finished packing yet. You guys go first, I'll come find you later."
"Aren't you finished packing yet?" Ling Shuangjiang looked at the suitcase inside. "I'll go with you."
"No need, you guys go ahead, I'll be right there."
Seeing Xie Wang's firm resolve, Ling Shuangjiang agreed.
After the three left, Xie Wang quickly gathered up the remaining toys and moved them to a safe location before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
