The President is Being Shameless Again

Chapter 299: It Felt Like Wei Zilin Was Nagging His Girlfriend

At the very least, he approved of her cooking skills.

“The aunty at home can only make some simple home-cooked dishes, and they taste so-so at best. You know I’m picky with my food, and to be honest, I don’t have much of an appetite when I eat every day,” Wei Zilin said.

The aunty was just about to sleep, and when she passed by Wei Zilin’s room, she overheard those words. Holding her shattered heart in her hands, she left sadly.

Mister, you clearly ate two bowls of rice today. Was that how much someone without much of an appetite ate?

“If you don’t mind, I can write down some recipes, including the ratios of that sweet-and-sour sauce you like so much. You can get your aunty to make it according to the recipes.” That was what Xu Moyan came up with after some thought.

“That’d be great, but even if the methods are the same, the taste will somehow vary according to the cook. It’s strange.” Wei Zilin paused and said, “I think Shen Zongyi and Zheng Yuntong are going on a date tomorrow, and Zheng Yuntong won’t eat at home tomorrow either. If you don’t mind, could I come over to your place and humbly ask for a meal?”

He could consider sparing Shen Zongyi from overtime these next few days. The latter was his trusted aide, and he was currently madly in love, so as his boss, Wei Zilin should support him.

That was just how considerate a man he was.

He phrased it very politely, and even humbly asked for a meal. On the other hand, Xu Moyan was more than happy to oblige. Although she would be nervous, she still treasured every moment she could spend with him, be it alone or in the company of others.

“Sure, and don’t be so humble about it. You said we’re friends, right? So you don’t have to be so polite about it,” Xu Moyan said with a smile, but in truth, her face was burning hot. “You can drop by whenever you want to eat. My doors will always be open for you.”

Wei Zilin laughed, and his mind wandered to less kid-friendly thoughts. To be honest, he wanted to visit her late at night, but he would probably scare her.

“Alright, then I’ll pick you up at your office tomorrow after work,” Wei Zilin said, pleased.

Xu Moyan was slightly shocked. She realized he would draw a lot of attention if he picked her up after work, but she still nodded her assent.

Just then, her bell rang, and Xu Moyan said, “I think Yuntong is back. She might’ve forgotten her keys, so I’ll go open the door for her.”

“If I remember correctly, your house has a peephole, right? Make sure it’s her before you open the door. It’s already so late, and you’re alone at home, so you should put your safety first.” Wei Zilin did not even try to hide his concern.

“Alright.” Xu Moyan nodded, stood up, and walked toward the door, still holding up her phone.

“Then go ahead and open the door, I’ll hang up for now. She just confirmed her relationship with Shen Zongyi today, so she probably has a ton of things to tell you. Don’t stay up too late chatting, though. You should sleep earlier.” Wei Zilin advised her carefully.

It might just be her, but it felt like Wei Zilin was nagging his girlfriend. “Don’t stay up too late chatting, sleep early.” His words did not sound distant at all; instead, it was vaguely intimate.

Either way, her heart was soaring.

“Yeah, you should sleep early too. Good night,” replied Xu Moyan.

Wei Zilin chuckled, his voice warm. “Good night.”

Xu Moyan was a little reluctant to hang up. After Wei Zilin’s side went quiet, Xu Moyan waited for a moment and was just about to hang up when she heard Wei Zilin chuckle again. “You still haven’t hung up?”

Xu Moyan’s brain burned up in an instant. “You… You’re still on the line?”

“I was waiting for you to hang up.” Wei Zilin said with a soft laugh, “I saw a news report somewhere that said the person hangs up first will make the other party feel neglected, whereas if you wait for them to hang out, the other person will feel all warm inside. That’s why I was waiting for you to hang up.”

“But I don’t want you to feel neglected either,” Xu Moyan said without thinking.

As soon as she said it, she felt embarrassed.

Wei Zilin did not seem to notice it, however, and he seemed to be in an even better mood than before. “Alright then, let’s hang up at the same time.”

“Okay,” Xu Moyan said softly. “So when I hang up, you’ll hang up too, alright?”

“Sure,” Wei Zilin replied.

Eventually, however, he still waited until after Xu Moyan hung up before he hung up with a smile.
