After dinner, Jiang Tongtong had been watching Lin Zhaonan in the living room, waiting for an opportunity to go to the third floor again.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhaonan was deeply engrossed in watching current affairs news with Mr. Lin, and Lin Gantang waited for Wen Yanqing to arrive, reclining on a single-seater sofa without budging.
Jiang Tongtong stared for a while and asked, "Zhaonan, aren't you going to work in your study?"
Her eyes were filled with hope that he would get busy soon.
"I'm done, I'll accompany you tonight. Shall we go for a walk outside?" Lin Zhaonan asked.
"No," Jiang Tongtong replied, disappointed.
Around 8:10 p.m., Wen Yanqing called to say he had arrived. Lin Gantang was thrilled and put down her phone to go and greet him.
The villa's exterior lights cast a soft, dim glow, making his face look exceptionally gentle.
