Chapter 1802: A Very Cold Cold Joke

Jiang Motian listened to this tall tale and asked helplessly, "Where would such a mask even come from?"

"I could find someone to develop it, as long as there's potential."

"But just thinking about it, how could there be potential? It can't even see the light of day, okay!"

"It doesn't matter if it can't see the light of day; I have ways."

Xie Wanyi was very experienced in this regard.

Yet he did not know that this very sentence touched Jiang Motian's sore spot.

She stared fixedly at Xie Wanyi, her voice unkind: "Xie Wanyi, why are you getting more and more outrageous!"

Realizing that Jiang Motian was unhappy, Xie Wanyi stopped his wild flights of fancy.

He turned to stand there properly and smiled obediently.

He wanted to use his smile to soothe Jiang Motian.

But this smile...

Jiang Motian watched for a moment.

Then she reached out, pinched Xie Wanyi's chin, and warned, "Remember, smile less when you're out!"

"This... I can't even smile?"

"You can't, because whenever you smile, it makes people want to commit a crime!"

Xie Wanyi had originally felt a bit aggrieved.

But Jiang Motian's words made his gaze turn profound.

He even asked in a coaxing voice, "Then do you want to commit a crime?"

"Of course I don't."

"Why? Am I not attractive to you?"

"Of course not, it's just because..."

Jiang Motian's voice trailed off.

Then she stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on the corner of Xie Wanyi's lips.

She then said triumphantly, "I'll kiss whenever I want to!"

Jiang Motian's slightly smug little look was charming and lively.

Watching her, Xie Wanyi couldn't help but lower his voice and say, "Right, whatever you want to do is fine; I won't resist."

This...

He truly wouldn't resist.

But Jiang Motian felt... this guy could swallow her whole!

Moreover, Xie Wanyi's gaze lately was always lingering and tangled.

Like honey that could stretch into threads.

Sticky, but... also a little sweet.

A sharp car horn in the distance made Jiang Motian end her reverie and wake up instantly.

She gave a light cough and hurriedly kept her distance from Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi, however, was feeling a bit restless.

It seemed that every time he teased Jiang Motian, he was the one who lost his composure in the end.

It was just so tormenting.

To calm himself down, Xie Wanyi brought up a serious topic: "Ling Yu has woken up."

He woke up? This was truly a joyous occasion!

Jiang Motian instantly forgot the previous awkwardness and asked with a smile in her eyes, "When did this happen?"

"Just now."

"It's good that he's awake."

With Ling Yu awake, Xie Wanyi could finally rest easy.

Jiang Motian's mood also lightened significantly.

However, Xie Wanyi added, "It's a pity he can't speak for the time being."

"Isn't that just a matter of time? It won't be long before he becomes a chatterbox, don't you worry."

Jiang Motian comforted Xie Wanyi.

And Xie Wanyi was well aware of the content of what she said.

Yet strangely, the same content became very credible when spoken by Jiang Motian.

It also allowed one to see hope.

It even diluted much of the anxiety hidden deep in Xie Wanyi's heart.

With a softened heart, Xie Wanyi curled his lips, preparing to say something.

But without warning, Jiang Motian dragged Xie Wanyi behind a tree.

The tree trunk and bushes obscured their figures.

Jiang Motian then carefully looked outside through a gap.

Xie Wanyi was looking too.

Then, he saw Wei Yangyang.

Hmm...

Xie Wanyi asked, not quite understanding, "Why are the two of us acting so sneakily?"

"I didn't tell Yangyang that we would be coming today."

"Why, isn't she quite hoping that you could accompany her?"

"She does hope I can accompany her, but... only me accompanying her."

Jiang Motian spoke rather cryptically.

But Xie Wanyi understood instantly.

So, he had been shunned by someone.

Xie Wanyi sighed softly, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Yet Jiang Motian frowned in confusion and muttered, "Why didn't Yangyang dress up at all before coming?"

"Does this require dressing up?"

"It's not a question of whether it's required or not, but rather..."

Jiang Motian explained in detail: "Last time, for her blind date, she made so many preparations in advance—makeup, buying clothes, getting beauty treatments—she didn't miss a single thing. But this time, it feels like... she seems to have come straight from the office."

In fact, Wei Yangyang really did come straight from the office.

There were too many things in the company today, and she was busy as a bee.

She had rushed over just to avoid being late.

As for dressing up...

She would dress up only after both sides took a liking to each other; otherwise, it would be a waste of time and money.

Wei Yangyang walked into the restaurant with hurried steps.

Xie Wanyi patted Jiang Motian, who was hunched over and still in the middle of peeking.

Then he suggested, "Shall we go in first?"

"Yes, we must go in, and we need to find a good spot!"

Regarding the matter of finding a spot, Xie Wanyi helped take care of it.

After entering the restaurant, he first confirmed Wei Yangyang's location, then led Jiang Motian to a seat at a diagonal angle.

Here, there was a screen for cover, making it difficult to be discovered.

By tilting her head, she could look past the screen and see clearly what state the two people over there were in.

And from Jiang Motian's observation, those two were communicating very smoothly, and the expressions on their faces were also very relaxed.

Also, that blind date partner... was surprisingly, very, fond, of, smiling!

This made Jiang Motian unable to help but exclaim: "This person is not the same as my brother; look at him, he can smile!"

"Your brother can smile too, a cold smile, that is."

Hearing this, Jiang Motian looked at Xie Wanyi speechlessly and commented: "Your cold joke is really cold."

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she discovered that Xie Wanyi had shifted his gaze.

He was not looking at Wei Yangyang.

Nor was he looking at Jiang Motian.

Instead, he looked past Jiang Motian at a certain guest sitting in the same area as them.

At that table, only one guest was sitting; he was not very old and looked like a student.

And...

That person was also secretly observing Wei Yangyang.

This was strange; could it be that he and Wei Yangyang knew each other?

Also...

Jiang Motian rubbed her chin and muttered softly: "Why does it feel like that person looks very familiar?"

"How could he not look familiar? Have you forgotten that we all met him?"

"I really forgot, where did we meet?"

"He is Momo's classmate; we ran into him once, and we grabbed dolls and played shooting games together."

Hearing Xie Wanyi's description, Jiang Motian suddenly realized.

So they really had met!

Just as Jiang Motian was exclaiming, Deng Yuntian also discovered Jiang Motian and Xie Wanyi.

Immediately, his eyes lit up!

He was still hunched over as he trotted over!

This child, moving around like that made it very easy to be discovered!

Jiang Motian was extremely anxious in her heart, even wanting to speak up and tell him to hurry back to where he came from!

But... at this time, there were not many people in the restaurant, and the environment was relatively quiet.

If Jiang Motian were to open her mouth to stop him, it would instead create a disturbance and be easily discovered by Wei Yangyang.

There was no other way; Jiang Motian could only wait until Deng Yuntian sat over and then whispered a reminder: "Keep it down, I don't like loud noises."
