Crossing the line

Chapter 1 Embrace
Wenyuan Villa has a storage room dedicated to various types of wine.

The first thing Yun Yuwan did when she flew back to Shanghai from Belgium was to ask the housekeeper to open the door of the wine storage room. She wanted to get a bottle of red wine to help her sleep.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky tonight and the key was worn out to the point of being almost round, so I couldn't open this retro door.

The housekeeper didn't know why she had to open the door, even though she didn't like drinking before.

After letting almost everyone in the family know that the door was broken, Yun Yuwan asked the servant to call Wen Yangzhi's secretary's office and ask him to go home and open the door.

Wen Yangzhi, who hadn't returned to his old home for several years, actually returned home for this lame reason.

Of course he could open the door.
By dismantling.

The servants in the house were carrying away the dismantled double-leaf cedar sliding cage door, while sorting out the broken parts and wood chips on the ground.

Yun Yuwan raised her head and looked at him with her crescent eyes.

Wen Yangzhi didn't have much patience. He raised his thin eyelids, and his Fuxi eyes were lightly covered with a layer of snow: "Don't let anyone call me about this kind of thing in the future."

They haven't seen each other for a long time.

After not seeing each other for almost three years, the first thing he said was don't call him.

But the reason someone called him was not for a bottle of wine, but because of the love letter he sent from thousands of miles away, and they wanted to find a reason to see him immediately.

After thinking about him for seven years, I finally got a response.

Even though only her housekeeper had seen the love letter and she lost it before she could read it, she didn't bother to look for it and flew back to China overnight, a full fifteen-hour flight, just to see him.

She was afraid of missing the opportunity.

At this moment she thought that he did not mean to be disgusted, but was just too busy.

She held a bottle of Screaming Eagle, still smiling: "Okay."

She stared at his cold and handsome face and said, "Brother."

The room was filled with ripples of light, passing over his cold face, and the night breeze rippled outside the window layer by layer.

He must have just finished work. He took off his suit jacket and put on a vest and shirt. The black vest with a waist made the man's thin and straight waistline be drawn into his trousers. The trousers were wrapped around his long legs. His heroic and sharp jaw was particularly ruthless and cold. His rich Fuxi eyes were indifferent, and he looked mature and experienced. He was so handsome and profound that the little girl would admire him at first sight. He was very different from when she left.

The next morning, Wen Yangzhi stayed at home for breakfast.

When Yun Yuwan came down from upstairs, she saw a calm and tall figure sitting quietly under a dark rosewood screen.

She was a little surprised, but couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

He must have stayed home for breakfast because of her.

She sat opposite Wen Yangzhi, and he really didn't say anything. Wen Yangzhi never liked people sitting opposite him.

But he kept looking at the financial report and didn't say anything.

It was quiet for a long time.

Yun Yuwan suddenly said, "You're not pushing hard enough."

Wen Yangzhi raised his eyelids, his eyes still indifferent.

He was holding a tablet with financial reports on it, his protruding Adam's apple sliding up and down along his well-defined neck: "What do you mean you're not pushing hard enough?"

Yun Yuwan looked at him with her bright eyes and said shamelessly: "You didn't push hard enough last night."

Her face was as innocent as a camellia, completely contrary to what she said.

Uncle Deng, the butler next to him, was so surprised that he lowered his head and dared not listen.

Wen Yangzhi looked at her leisurely, with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Last night?"

Yun Yuwan smiled and said, "Yes, you didn't push hard enough when you used the key to open the door last night. If you had pushed harder, you should have been able to poke the door open. Now that I think about it, I should have pushed harder."

Wen Yangzhi looked at her quietly for a moment, making her feel a little at a loss.

She thought that even though he liked her now, she shouldn't joke with him like this.

Wen Yangzhi is not such a person.

Seven years ago, when Wen's father brought her to appear in front of Wen Yangzhi, he had the same expression.

I heard from Wen's father that she was the daughter of an old friend and her parents died unexpectedly, so she was temporarily raised by the Wen family.

A shrike maple tree with slanting branches and leaves was above his head, and the sparse shadows on his cold and handsome face were swaying, and his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Wen Yangzhi doesn't need a cold face to have an overwhelming sense of oppression like a mountain, and everyone looks up to him.

No one knows whether he likes this sister who suddenly appears.

But Yun Yuwan was very afraid of him at that time. She was so afraid that she didn't dare to go home right after school. She always waited until she thought he had entered the room before going home.

Seven years later, they were sitting at the same table, and she was talking to him like this, which was something Yun Yuwan had never dared to imagine before.

But he sent her a love letter from afar.

He is different now and should be more tolerant of her.

As expected, Wen Yangzhi didn’t say much. Yun Yuwan thought that it was indeed the case and couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

It's true, he really likes her.

But for a moment, she felt a sharp gaze falling on her.

She looked up and met his deep, flickering gaze.

She was a little puzzled.

His expression still couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, he just said calmly: "You have grown up."

Such a lazy gaze.

Yun Yuwan's face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire. His gaze fell on her, and it was like fire rolling down the prairie, spreading all the way to the boundless prairie.

His expression was obviously indifferent.

She unconsciously clenched the spoon, her face got so hot that she thought her neck and ears were probably red too.

Wen Yangzhi didn't make any extra movements. He just put down the tablet and said with his thin lips: "Auntie Wang, please put it away."

Wang Ma quickly responded, "Okay."

Uncle Deng, the housekeeper, was a little surprised that such offensive words came from Miss Yun's mouth, but Mr. Xiao Wen was not angry at all.

Before leaving, Wen Yangzhi suddenly stopped and said in a low voice like a blue bell: "We have guests coming tonight, so dress formally."

Yun Yuwan realized that he was talking to her, and nodded randomly, not daring to meet his gaze: "Okay."

The moment the door closed, Yun Yuwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though she knew now that he liked her, the feeling of oppression was still too strong for her to resist.

Does Wen Yangzhi really like her?

Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks burning again.

She didn't have a formal dress, so she went to Nanjing Road for a stroll and met up with her childhood friend Lin Chu.

Lin Chu rushed over in high heels. Her assistant behind her had an arm full of shopping bags. Even with a mask and sunglasses on, she couldn't stop the urge to gossip: "Tell me what happened between you and that man last night."

A suspicious blush spread across Yun Yuwan's cheeks: "I contacted him, but he didn't seem to react, and he didn't mention the letter."

"He didn't say anything?" Lin Chu was slightly surprised.

After thinking about it, Yun Yuwan suddenly understood: "Not really. This morning, he suddenly said that I have grown up."

Lin Chu almost screamed: "Isn't that a reaction?"

"But he didn't say anything directly." Yun Yuwan was a little confused and didn't know how to start the conversation with Wen Yangzhi.

She has never done such a thing. She has always been pursued by others since she was a child.

Lin Chu looked Yun Yuwan up and down and said, "I just noticed. Why are you still wearing the same clothes as before?"

The window glass reflected her figure in a white long dress.

Yun Yuwan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"He said that you have grown up, so you should dress more maturely."

Yun Yuwan suddenly realized.

Also.

She looked at her reflection, and she looked the same as before in front of him.

She and Lin Chu carried back large and small bags from the commercial street.

Before leaving, Lin Chu repeatedly reminded her to express her affection clearly, but not to express it verbally, otherwise it would be a waste.

Yun Yuwan said that she would definitely remember it, and only then did Lin Chu let her go.

When she got home, she happened to see the housekeeper, Uncle Deng, and she called him, "Uncle Deng, can you prepare two more river lanterns for me on Mid-Autumn Festival? I want to light some for my parents, too."

Uncle Deng seemed amiable, but he refused, “Of course, but the river lanterns are set off by the whole family. It might not be good if my wife saw it.”

Yun Yuwan thought about it and agreed.

After all, her parents had passed away a long time ago on such a reunion day.

She smiled and said, "No need for that, thank you for the trouble."

Uncle Deng smiled kindly.

Sure enough, there were guests coming over at night. They were the Xu family, an old friend of theirs.

Yun Yuwan wore high heels and a simple and elegant mint green fishtail skirt, revealing her slender neck. Her long hair curled into ink-black waves, like a clear lotus, bright and natural.

The guests praised her for her elegance. She glanced at Wen Yangzhi quietly, but he didn't react at all, still looking aloof and indifferent.

Didn’t see it?
Wasn't she obvious enough?

He didn't move.

But Yun Yuwan couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

They haven't seen each other for a long time.

He seemed to have a stronger sense of experience, with three-dimensional features, a tall and solid stature, and a sense of superiority with high intelligence.

He was wearing an Italian-style dark green peaked-lapel jacket with a brown shirt undone a few buttons, which perfectly outlined his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Although he looked formal, the kissing buttons on the sleeves of his suit were not buttoned. Although it was not obvious, she noticed it.

He asked her to dress more formally, but he himself was just being perfunctory.

This reminded Yun Yuwan of Lin Chu's theory: "Almost all men don't wear kiss buttons. In my opinion, there is only one reason why men don't wear kiss buttons, and that is to make it easier for them to hold the woman's face with their hands when kissing."

Yun Yuwan couldn't help but blush slightly.

When they sat down to the table, their eyes met by chance. His gaze was deep and profound, and she felt as if she could not help being sucked in.

It seemed as if she would be the one to be kissed in the next second.

And tonight, the Xu family members were more than a hundred times satisfied with Wen Yangzhi, especially the daughter of the Xu family.

She didn't expect that Wen's brother was so handsome.

Especially, he is your blind date.

If you can marry a man like this, the probability of the couple becoming estranged after marriage will probably be much smaller.

Just looking at Wen Yangzhi's handsome face and imagining it a little, I couldn't help but feel sweet.

Yun Yuwan had no idea about the blind date and thought it was just an ordinary party.

During the meal, she remembered what her good friend Lin Chu said, and she still took all the effort, carefully stretched out her leg, and used the tip of her shoe to hook up his trousers.

Miss Xu, who was wearing a small suit opposite, sat up straight suddenly and cold sweat began to flow down her body.

Yun Yuwan's toes climbed up little by little through her trousers, the black velvet surface of her high heels rubbing against the thin fabric. She was a little nervous, not knowing how Wen Yangzhi would react.

Miss Xu was already sweating profusely and her hands were shaking. She looked up at Yun Yuwan opposite her.

I remember she was wearing pointed high heels when she entered the door.

Wen's sister, how come she has this hobby?

I heard that she came back from abroad, but I didn’t expect her style to be like this... Weird?
A bold guess suddenly came to her mind.

It was said to be a marriage arrangement, but it didn’t say who was the boy or girl. Could it be that this time it was not for the purpose of seeing the brother of the Wen family?

Yun Yuwan was completely unaware that she had hooked up with the wrong person, and was still observing Wen Yangzhi's expression with her peripheral vision. His cold and elegant face did not show much change, and he continued to talk to the guest normally. His voice was long and low, like the low hum of a cello, so steady that there was no change at all.

How could Wen Yangzhi be so patient?

She couldn't help but hook her trousers a little harder, wanting to get a response from him, and Miss Xu suddenly let out an "ah".

Everyone looked at her.

Yun Yuwan also looked at her in confusion.

Miss Xu quickly stood up and said awkwardly, "I accidentally stained the sauce on my clothes. I'm going to the bathroom."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Mother Wen said gently: "Go quickly."

Yun Yuwan stretched out her leg again, but didn't touch his leg.

Maybe Wen Yangzhi's legs moved. Could it be that his brother didn't like this?
Until the family dinner was over, Yun Yuwan didn't realize that she had hooked up with the wrong person.

I don’t know if the Xu family came this time to arrange a blind date between Miss Xu and Wen Yangzhi.

They are well matched and of similar age, so there should be a good chance.

But without knowing it, she ruined Wen Yangzhi's blind date.

For an introverted person like Miss Xu, she would most likely never dare to set foot in the Wen family again.

Wen Yangzhi was a little surprised when he saw Xu Shulan fleeing, but he didn't feel it was too bad.

A tall figure stood in the stairwell. He took out a box of treasurer cigarettes from his pocket, held the cigarette between his slender fingers, and rubbed the lighter wheel with his fingertips, but did not light it.

The next second, a pair of slender white hands raised up, holding a lighter, and trying to raise a flame to his lips.

Wen Yangzhi lowered his eyes and Yun Yuwan in front of him tried hard to raise his hands.

Pause for half a second.

He held her lower back with his hands and lifted her in front of him, then lowered his head and lit a cigarette by the flame.

Yun Yuwan's whole body stiffened as she looked at Wen Yangzhi who was holding her waist.

The tiny flame danced, and the shadow swayed on his three-dimensional, neat and indifferent face, and his heroic aura almost hit her face like a wave.

They had never been so close.

The hand that held her waist was dry and warm, and his strong and slender fingers pressed on her soft waist. The light tobacco scent of Menthol was different from other disgusting cigarette smells, and it had a cold feeling.

The Patek Philippe moon phase platinum watch on her wrist was more noticeable than his distinct wrist bones, pressing tightly against her waist.

Wen Yangzhi let go of her hand and she fell back to her original place.

With a slight "click", the flame disappeared in her palm.

He held a cigarette between his fingers and asked in a distant voice, "How have you been in Belgium these past few years?"

Her body still felt numb, and the feeling of someone holding her waist with one hand lingered for a long time.

She paused: "Not bad."

They had never been so close before. She met his dark eyes, raised her thin white neck, and said boldly, "Did you miss me?"

His pupils were a bottomless dark color. Yun Yuwan felt her legs go weak when she looked into his eyes.

He opened his thin lips slightly: "I've really grown up."

The man's deep philtrum and the seagull lines on his light pink upper lip were so clear and sexy that she couldn't take her eyes off him.

I only heard his deep and magnetic voice slowly saying, "You would ask such a question."

He held the cigarette between his hard knuckles, and he had the same sense of alienation as a menthol cigarette.

She took a step forward, almost nestling into his arms, and raised her head to ask, "Do you miss me?"

Wen Yangzhi did not retreat, but smiled lightly and asked calmly: "Do you think I will miss you?"

His tall and prominent brows made his eye sockets look particularly deep, his eyebrows were dark and fiery, with an inextinguishable fire.

It has always been difficult to approach.

Her soft body almost leaned into his arms, and the closeness to his chest made him feel desire.

She said boldly, "I think about it often."

With an ambiguous chuckle, Wen Yangzhi exhaled a cloud of mist, gently brushing across her jade-white face: "We haven't seen each other for three years. According to the situation, shouldn't we have a hug?"

Wen Yangzhi really liked her. He didn't answer whether he thought about her or not, but he said he wanted to hug her.

Wen Yangzhi never acted like this before, as if matters between men and women had nothing to do with him.

She finally became the exception.

She couldn't help but curl her lips and stretched out her arms to wrap around his straight waist.

He was not wearing a coat at the moment, only a shirt, and Wen Yangzhi's warmth penetrated into her body through every pore.

Men have broad arms and chests, and they have a strong sense of security.

Wen Yangzhi let one hand hang down, the red light of the cigarette butt twisted between his fingers, a little away from the hem of her tight fishtail skirt, keeping a restrained distance.

Uncle Deng was about to go upstairs to bring a fruit plate to Wen Yangzhi.

Unexpectedly, when I turned the corner, I saw Mr. Wen, who was supposed to be in the tea room, standing in the stairwell with Miss Yun in his arms, who had been fostered in the Wen family for seven years.

The postures are intimate and the figures are overlapping.

Miss Yun wrapped her arms around his waist so intimately, but he was not angry.

Mr. Xiao Wen has a strong sense of order and never allows anyone to touch him.

Uncle Deng never thought that the two of them would have this kind of relationship.

Hug in an empty stairwell.

Thinking back, Miss Yun was indeed dressed exceptionally well today, somewhat outshining Miss Xu.

It turned out that they were afraid that Mr. Xiao Wen would be taken away.

No wonder Mr. Xiao Wen was so cold to Miss Xu and only said two sentences throughout the whole meeting.

A hello and a goodbye.

It turns out that he already has someone in his heart and has no intention of going on a blind date.

Last night, Miss Yun called Mr. Xiao Wen's secretary office just about a bottle of wine in the storage room. He never thought that Mr. Xiao Wen, who hadn't been home for two years, would actually come back.

Now he finally understands.

I'm not here to open the door, I'm here to meet someone.

Uncle Deng felt a little panicked, and quietly went back downstairs, preparing to order two more river lanterns. He even wanted to take Yun Yuwan to the Huangpu River to release them right away.

Terrible.

Just when Yun Yuwan was wondering why he didn't hug her, Wen Yangzhi really reached out and held her waist.

Yun Yuwan felt his hand against her, and the slight sliding of the kiss button was particularly clear.

I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

She pressed her body against his chest, their bodies overlapping with each other with the largest area in contact. The man was tall and solid, standing still like a pillar, casting a shadow over her head.

A hint of ambiguous vetiver scent mixed with yew wood, cold but with a hint of masculine hormones.

I want to stay in his arms a little longer.

She did not come out of his arms for a long time, and the burnt cigarette ashes fell to the ground.

"The clouds are about to set in."

She raised her head, her doe-like eyes were cunning and clear, her long curled eyelashes made her eyes charming yet childishly innocent, and she looked at him expectantly.

Suddenly called her,

Is kissing the next step?
He said in a light tone: "Is Belgium fun?"

She naturally said coquettishly: "It's fun, but without you."

Her eyes were so bright that it gave the illusion that she was acting like a spoiled brat. He paused for a moment before saying, "No matter how fun it is, don't hook the customer's legs next time. This is not Europe."

Yun Yuwan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the leg she had hooked was so thin.

She was so shocked that she stared at Wen Yangzhi for a long time without moving, as if she was petrified.

What she hooked was not Wen Yangzhi's leg.

His face suddenly turned red.

The cigarette in Wen Yangzhi's hand burned out, leaving only a cigarette butt.

He let her go.

Yun Yuwan felt numb all over and her arms slipped down unconsciously.

Wen Yangzhi didn't say anything else and went downstairs. Yun Yuwan was still standing there.

It took me a long time to realize what I had done.

God, I hope Miss Xu doesn’t think she is a pervert!

After returning to the room, Yun Yuwan called Lin Chu to report the situation with tears in her eyes.

Lin Chu was shocked and stared at the other end of the video call for a long time: "You..."

Yun Yuwan knew that she was stupid and could not even seduce the wrong person. She had no desire to live anymore:
"Scold me if you want. I can't sleep when I see those high heels. Will Wen Yangzhi think I have some weird habits?"

"I don't know if it's a quirk or not, I just know that Wen Yangzhi must have seen the whole thing. Damn it, I'm going to call the police to arrest you. How could someone play such a good hand into such a mess? He even expressed that he likes you!"

Lin Chu was about to explode. In all her years in the love field, she had never seen such a stupid person.

"Why don't you use all your cleverness when you're abroad? Did you buy your first-class honors degree?"

Yun Yuwan was also very upset. She didn't know why. She had always been successful and everyone around her liked her, but she became like this after meeting Wen Yangzhi.

She hesitated: "I said if, I mean if, you were Wen Yangzhi, how would you react if you encountered this kind of thing?"

Lin Chu was silent for a long time before he said, "I will think about whether I should continue to be with someone like you."

Yun Yuwan: "..."

Lin Chu: "After all, you seem to have a quirk. Who knows if you will hook other women's legs in front of me after we are together."

The clouds are about to set and I have no tears to cry.

I should have known better.

She hung up the phone amid Lin Chu's angry curses. She, who always suffered from insomnia, actually fell asleep in embarrassment.

She dreamed that she and Wen Yangzhi were kissing on the stairs. Her legs were hooked around him. He just pried open her lips and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was hooking the legs of Miss Xu next to her.

She woke up with a start.

The feeling of his lips had not yet faded, but he was already aware that he was hooking Miss Xu's legs in his dreams.

After washing up, she didn't dare to leave the room, for fear of seeing Wen Yangzhi.

He finally came out of the room at around ten o'clock.

I happened to run into Wen Yangzhi's assistant and Uncle Deng talking under the spiral staircase.

The assistant held a velvet jewelry box and said, "Please put it in the jewelry room. This is what Director Wen prepared for his female companions at the dinner party."

Yun Yuwan looked at the jewelry box.

In the unfolded square velvet jewelry box, there is a Colombian emerald necklace, as green as rippling lake water and as clear as a stream.

This dinner was particularly important, as it was the Wen family's anniversary celebration. Uncle Deng couldn't help but ask, "Who is the female companion?"

The assistant said succinctly, "It should be the lady that Director Wen is interested in. He didn't specify any specific details, but judging from Director Wen's recent schedule, there might be some clues."

Wen Dong is Wen Yangzhi.

At home he is called Mr. Xiao Wen, and outside he is Mr. Wen of Wen's Commercial Bank.

　He, double clean, the author's quality is guaranteed, don't worry about entering the pit~
