Chapter 145: Going to the Office Together

Song Wanning immediately called out, "Grandpa, what are you doing here? You didn’t even bring gloves. It’s cold now—get up quickly and don’t touch those things."

As she spoke, she walked over and helped the elderly man to his feet.

What was Old Master Wen’s real intention?

He certainly wasn’t here to plant flowers, but he still said, “You and Jingxing both live here. I looked around the courtyard and thought there weren’t enough flowers, so I wanted to plant some more for you to enjoy.”

He smiled benevolently. Song Wanning didn’t think too much about it, only concerned that it was cold and Grandpa wasn’t dressed warmly enough.

Supporting the old man as they walked toward his room, she said, “Grandpa, that’s thoughtful of you. For this kind of thing, you can just ask Jingxing and me—we don’t need you doing it yourself.”

Only then did Old Master Wen realize, “Hmm, where’s my grandson?”

He glanced inside the room but saw no sign of Wen Jingxing, so he asked, "Wanning, where’s Jingxing? Is he still asleep?"

Song Wanning answered truthfully, “Yes, Grandpa. He looks very tired—he didn’t sleep well all night.”

Old Master Wen’s eyes brightened instantly. Could it be that these two were really getting along well?

He was so happy! Was he finally about to hold his great-grandson?

In the past, Old Master Wen had been strict with the children and grandchildren, never allowing anyone to sleep in late.

But today, his mood was especially good. He told Song Wanning, “You two go ahead and have breakfast. Let Wen Jingxing sleep until he wakes up naturally.”

At breakfast, Song Wanning noticed the meal was quite lavish, made up mostly of nourishing dishes.

“Grandpa, isn’t this too much to eat so early? And isn’t this fatty meat too greasy...?” she began.

The old man waved her off and interrupted, “Child, look at you—you’re so thin. You need to eat more. If a strong wind blows, you might just get blown away.”

Song Wanning covered her mouth and laughed, “Grandpa, it’s not that bad.”

Nearby, the cameraman silently filmed, capturing this slice of life. There was one thing he felt was truly a pity.

Yesterday’s livestream ended early, and today Song Wanning wasn’t sure what to broadcast, so she hadn’t started streaming.

That meant no one knew they were sharing a room.

He had bragged about it online and in work groups, but everyone mocked him, calling him a liar and said he was deluded, obsessed with a fictional couple.

Now the cameraman was holding back frustration. When the full episode aired, he was determined to prove everyone wrong.

As Song Wanning had only just started eating, Wen Jingxing suddenly appeared.

“Jingxing, why didn’t you sleep longer?”

He shook his head and sat down at the table. “I have a meeting at the company this morning.”

Actually, what he wanted to say was that without Song Wanning next to him, the bed didn’t feel comfortable at all, so he just got up.

Besides, the meeting didn’t start until noon.

Old Master Wen looked at Wen Jingxing’s dark circles and quietly placed a large chicken drumstick on his plate. “Eat more, you need to replenish your strength.”

Wen Jingxing then noticed how sumptuous the breakfast was and immediately asked, “Grandpa, do you usually eat like this?”

His expression turned serious.

Doctor Sun, who was nearby, quickly explained, “No, Mr. Wen. The old master wanted you two to have a good meal before you left today, so he asked me to bring this from outside last night. He usually eats very lightly.”

Wen Jingxing’s expression relaxed. “That’s good.”

After finishing the meal, Wen Jingxing and Song Wanning prepared to leave.

Old Master Wen stood outside the gate, watching them go. Song Wanning leaned out the car window to wave at him.

As the car started moving, she called out, “Grandpa, you should head back now. We’re leaving.”

Then she pulled the window up.

Old Master Wen watched the car disappear into the distance, shaking his head and sighing.

Doctor Sun, supporting him, looked puzzled. “What’s wrong, Old Master?”

“Wanning has changed. I don’t know if what they have is real or just pretend.”

“Wanning changed? You mean she likes Mr. Wen more now?”

Old Master Wen shook his head again. “No.”

“What’s not right then?” Doctor Sun was curious. Apart from being less troublesome than before, Song Wanning seemed the same.

“Xiao Sun, you’re young, but I’ve never been wrong about people. Wanning is starting to resemble how she was as a child.”

“Isn’t that a good thing? Why are you sighing? You always said young Wanning was clever and adorable.”

Old Master Wen said, “It’s because of this change that I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.” Then he turned and walked away.

In the car, Song Wanning asked Wen Jingxing, “When does your meeting start?”

“At eleven,” he replied, a little earlier than expected.

“It’s almost nine now. If you drop me off and then head to the company, you probably won’t make it on time.”

“No problem,” Wen Jingxing said casually. Although he disliked being late, being a little late today wouldn’t matter much.

“Forget it. You go straight to the company. I’ll grab a taxi home from downstairs.”

“No need. I’ll have Cheng Mu take you there.”

Song Wanning thought: Wen Jingxing is really determined to see me home, huh?

“Alright, then I’ll just hang around your company for a bit, okay?” she said deliberately.

“Of course. I’ll have Cheng Mu show you around. You can go wherever you want.”

Song Wanning had nothing more to say. She silently turned away and focused on her phone.

When they arrived at Wen Corporation’s building, Wen Jingxing got out first and opened the car door for Song Wanning.

She was used to it by now. After stepping out, she realized just how straightforward Wen Jingxing was—

He had parked the car right at the company entrance.

She had been so absorbed in her phone that she hadn’t noticed.

As soon as they got out, many employees inside the spacious building entrance looked over curiously.

Of course, they immediately recognized Wen Jingxing and his car.

So naturally, they were even more curious about the woman who got out of the boss’s car.

At that moment, everyone noticed that the boss and the woman seemed to be wearing matching outfits—same style and color.

Cheng Mu suddenly appeared from somewhere, took the boss’s car, and went to park it.

Then Wen Jingxing personally led Song Wanning inside the company.

Only then did everyone realize, wait, isn’t that Song Wanning?

The boss was currently filming a variety show!

And he had brought his fiancée with him!

Everyone was eager to gossip about the boss, but out of respect, they all bowed their heads and greeted quietly, not daring to say a word.

The receptionist immediately sent a message to the group chat as soon as the boss and Song Wanning entered the private elevator.
