Zhao Can had just boarded the plane when she spotted Feng Hongyang sitting in the front row. She was momentarily taken aback, then excitedly ran over, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Feng Hongyang was sitting by the window, gazing outside. He turned to look at her and replied, "I'm going to the capital. Why did you come along?"
"I heard them say you were going to the capital, so I just followed," Zhao Can said with a smile as she sat down next to him. "Uncle, what are you going to do in the capital?"
"Work," Feng Hongyang replied succinctly.
Zhao Can's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Does that mean you can play with me?"
Feng Hongyang looked at her and smirked, "You can try."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Can quickly grabbed his arm. "Uncle, I knew you were the best!"
Feng Hongyang smiled faintly but said nothing.
The plane took off shortly after. Feng Hongyang and his group held several meetings in the capital before taking a car to Daxing District the next day.
Daxing District is located in a remote area of the capital and is a small town. Feng Hongyang brought Zhao Can to this town for an on-site investigation.
Zhao Can followed Feng Hongyang along a bumpy dirt road, looking quite gloomy. Having lived a comfortable life since childhood, she had never been to such a place before.
As she walked, she complained, "Uncle, why did you bring me to such a place?"
Feng Hongyang ignored her and continued walking straight ahead.
Zhao Can watched his back, stomping her feet in frustration. She had no choice but to keep up with him.
Feng Hongyang led her into a mountain. There were no paths inside; he walked ahead while Zhao Can followed behind. The further they went in, the narrower the path became.
Zhao Can looked around in fear and asked, "Uncle, where are we going?"
Feng Hongyang remained silent and continued forward.
Zhao Can felt extremely scared looking at his back but dared not stop. She had no choice but to follow him stubbornly.
After walking for about an hour, they finally emerged from the mountain. Zhao Can was stunned by the sight before her.
In front of her was an open wasteland filled with garbage and overgrown weeds. Feng Hongyang walked to the edge of the wasteland, stopped, and turned to look at her. "Do you still want to follow me?"
Zhao Can quickly shook her head, "No, no!"
Feng Hongyang smiled with satisfaction, "Then you can go back."
Zhao Can felt as if she had been granted a reprieve and hurriedly turned to leave.
Halfway back, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him, "Uncle, when are you going back?"
Feng Hongyang looked at her and smiled faintly, "Just take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Can pouted and continued on her way.
Feng Hongyang watched her walk away, his smile fading as he returned to work.
...
Zhao Can retraced her steps and stopped suddenly at the foot of the mountain.
She gazed ahead, squinting slightly.
There was a figure in front of her that looked very familiar.
It was that woman!
What was she doing here?
Zhao Can glanced around and noticed a small path not far away.
After thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and walked toward it.
As she followed the path for a while, she suddenly saw the woman turn into a courtyard.
Zhao Can hesitated for a moment before following her.
She reached the entrance of the courtyard and peeked inside.
Inside was a simple Siheyuan, and the woman walked into the room directly facing the door.
Zhao Can frowned slightly as she watched the woman's back.
Why was she here?
Could it be that she was deliberately following them?
Thinking of this, Zhao Can took out her phone and dialed a number.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello, Uncle, it's me," Zhao Can said in a low voice.
"I know," Feng Hongyang replied calmly.
Zhao Can hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Uncle, I found a woman; she..."
"Who are you talking about?" Feng Hongyang interrupted her.
Zhao Can paused, "It's the one... who was with you before."
Feng Hongyang fell silent for a moment before asking, "Where is she?"
"I don't know," Zhao Can replied hesitantly, "I followed her here but lost track of her."
Listening intently, Feng Hongyang furrowed his brow slightly, "Are you sure it's her?"
"I am sure." Zhao Can spoke affirmatively.
Feng Hongyang was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand."
Hearing this, Zhao Can let out a sigh of relief.
Feng Hongyang hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then called his assistant.
"Hello, boss," the assistant said respectfully.
Feng Hongyang replied calmly, "A woman has appeared in Daxing District; you should investigate."
"Okay, boss," the assistant responded.
Feng Hongyang ended the call, put away his phone, and continued working.
...
Zhao Can was wandering around town, lost in thought as she strolled.
As she walked, she suddenly spotted a small café ahead.
The café had a modest exterior but was uniquely decorated.
Zhao Can paused for a moment, contemplated, and then walked over.
She pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The café was quiet, with only soft music playing in the background.
Zhao Can approached the counter and was about to speak when she suddenly froze upon seeing the person behind it.
The man wore a simple white shirt and black pants, with gold-rimmed glasses that accentuated his handsome features.
He had his head down, engrossed in a book.
Zhao Can stared at him, her heart racing unexpectedly.
The man seemed to sense her gaze and slowly looked up.
Their eyes met, and Zhao Can's heart raced even faster.
The man looked at her and smiled slightly, "How are you?"
Zhao Can snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "I—I’m fine."
The man nodded and returned to his book.
Zhao Can watched his profile, her heart pounding.
She had never seen such an attractive man before.
Taking a deep breath to muster her courage, she asked, "What’s your name?"
The man looked up at her, "Wang Ming."
"Wang Ming..." Zhao Can murmured, "That's a nice name."
Wang Ming looked at her and smiled faintly, "Thank you."
Zhao Can hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you know Jiang Yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ming furrowed his brow slightly, "Jiang Yuan?"
"Mm." Zhao Can nodded, "She is my best friend."
Wang Ming shook his head, "I don't know her."
Zhao Can felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.
She looked at Wang Ming and tentatively asked, "Can you take me to try the local snacks here?"
Wang Ming smiled at her, "Sorry, I have to tend the shop now."
Zhao Can felt a bit let down, "Oh."
Wang Ming looked at her, smiled again, and lowered his head to continue reading.
Zhao Can stood there, watching him, feeling a sense of reluctance.
She stayed for a long time before reluctantly leaving.
She walked out of the café and wandered aimlessly down the street.
She thought about the man from earlier and felt a strange sensation in her heart.
She had never felt this way about any man before.
Thinking about it, she took out her phone and opened WeChat.
She clicked on the pinned chat box and typed: [Dear, are you there?]
The other party quickly replied: [I'm here, babe.]
Zhao Can felt sweet inside as she read the reply.
She typed: [Dear, I just saw a man; he is so handsome.]
The other party replied: [How handsome?]
Zhao Can thought for a moment and typed: [More handsome than you.]
The other party replied: [That’s impossible.]
Zhao Can smiled at the reply.
She typed: [Really, I'm not lying to you.]
The other party replied: [Then introduce him to me.]
Zhao Can considered the reply for a moment and typed: [Sure, when you come back, I'll take you to meet him.]
