Time trickled by. The ten minutes that Tang Hongbo had mentioned previously, had turned into ten minutes when he saw Duan Wenzhuo.
The reason for his subtle changes was all because of Duan Wenzhuo's appearance. Only she could make him angry, make him angry, and make him unsure of whether he should laugh or cry.
In fact, she hadn't been truly happy for a long time.
To her, love was fated for nothing, fated for husband and wife, but fated for nothing.
She had met Tang Hongbo by fate, but had no right to walk with him to old age. If she knew that there would be a day when she would fall in love with him, she would definitely not return with Duan Wenzhuo.
But how could there be so many 'ifs' in this world?
The rain outside would always fall and stop, but Tang Hongbo had never come back when he went to attend a meeting. However, he had instead asked Secretary Wang to come and see her home.
"Madam, the CEO told me to send you home." Secretary Wang said with a smile.
Duan Wenzhuo thought for a while before replying.
"Is it going to be a long meeting?" She actually wanted to go home with him.
"That's right. It looks like it'll still be a while. The sky is already dark. The CEO is worried about you, so she asked me to send you home." Just as Secretary Wang finished speaking, Duan Wenyu suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"Sister Wenyu." Duan Wenpi laughed.
"En, what's wrong, Secretary Wang, are you sending Vin back home?" Duan Wenyu asked gently.
"Yes, the CEO ordered me to send Madam home." Secretary Wang answered truthfully.
"How about this, you go ahead and busy yourself first, I'll send Vin home." Duan Wenzhuo said with a smile.
"This, I can't. If the CEO asks, I won't be able to explain it." Secretary Wang had an awkward expression.
"What's there to explain? You can just say that I sent her home. That's my sister, so can't I just sell her off?" Duan Wenyu laughed and joked.
Secretary Wang still wanted to say something, but was cut off by Duan Wenzhuo.
"Alright, Secretary Wang, let Sister Wenyu send me home, you go and busy yourself." Duan Wenyu said with a smile.
Secretary Wang knew that Tang Hongbo had never liked Duan Wenzhuo, but he couldn't resist the two girls' pleas. In the end, he could only remind them to pay attention to their safety before reporting to Tang Hongbo.
When Tang Hongbo returned to his office, he had already left. Although Duan Wenyu had guaranteed that he wouldn't hurt Duan Wenzhuo, he still couldn't be at ease.
However, she really couldn't leave him for the company. Let him believe in her again.
As the car slowly drove through the rain, the wiper made clattering sounds. No one in the car spoke for a while, each of them looking ahead with their own thoughts.
While he was waiting for a traffic light to appear, Duan Wenzhuo asked with a smile.
"Sister Wenyu, don't you need to hold a meeting?"
It sounded like he was looking for something to say.
"What does our design department need to hold? However, Wen Jiao, you and Hongbo have been married for so long, yet you have not come to the company to work?" Duan Wenzhuo deliberately asked.
"Nope." perhaps because Duan Wenzhuo's Ha Cha was the one she cared about the most, Duan Wenzhuo suddenly said indifferently with her head lowered.
"That's truly a pity, but how can you be at ease? There are many young ladies in the company who are drooling over the beauty of Hongbo." Duan Wenzhuo just added a barrier to her heart.
However, Duan Wenzhuo only smiled, and the expression on her face did not change.
"Is that so? That's good. " Duan Wenzhuo said.
In her eyes, everything Duan Wenzhuo did was wrong, even her breathing was wrong.
"Aren't you afraid that Hongbo will take advantage of your pregnancy to harass others?" A trace of hatred flashed across Duan Wenzhuo's eyes, but after a moment, Duan Wenzhuo discovered nothing.
"How could that be? I believe him." Duan Wenzhuo laughed.
"Do you really believe in Tang Hongbo?" Duan Wenyu asked.
"I don't think so. I've never thought about it." Duan Wenzhuo laughed.
Duan Wenyu looked at her sideways, the disgust and hatred in her eyes were obvious, it was just that Duan Wenzhuo did not see it.
"No wonder Hongbo fell for you." Duan Wenyu replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Duan Wenzhuo was suddenly startled, how did she forget that Duan Wenyu liked him too? She suddenly felt a little awkward, and did not know what to say.
She thought for a moment before replying.
"Sister Wenyu, how about I treat you to a meal later?" Duan Wenzhuo changed the topic.
"Why?" Duan Wenyu asked.
"You've been back for such a long time, yet I haven't even properly invited you to a meal. Just treat it as my thanks." Duan Wenzhuo said with a smile.
"No need. It's already so late, and it's still raining. When we have the chance in the future." Duan Wenyu refused.
"I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future." Duan Wenzhuo looked in front of him and muttered.
"What did you say?" Duan Wenyu seemed to not have heard clearly.
When he raised her head again, Duan Wenzhuo's face was filled with smiles, but it looked like she was forcing herself to smile.
"It's nothing. I'm saying that I really want to thank you for finding me back then and bringing me back." Duan Wenzhuo said with a face full of smiles.
However, Duan Wenyu didn't think that way. If time could flow backwards, she definitely wouldn't have brought her back, and she definitely wouldn't have impulsively left either.
"Vin, if I give you another chance, will you still follow me back to the Duan Clan?" Duan Wenyu looked in front of him and asked indifferently.
Duan Wenzhuo was startled, he did not know what she meant, could it be that she regretted bringing him back? However, it seemed that it was true. If it was anyone else, they would probably regret it.
She looked towards Duan Wenyu, and only after seeing that there was no change in her expression did she slowly speak up.
"Sister Wenyu, you must be regretting your decision to bring me back, right?" she asked carefully.
Duan Wenyu wanted to answer right away, yes, she regretted it a lot.
"What are you thinking? Why would I regret bringing you back? I can't even be happy to have a sister like you. How can I be regretful? Don't let your thoughts run wild."
"Really? But Sister Wenyu, if I could, I would definitely not have come back with you." Duan Wenzhuo said.
"Why?"
"If you hadn't come back with me, you wouldn't have disappeared for two years, then Hongbo wouldn't have married me, and wouldn't have happened either. The things that happened afterwards, you and Hongbo must have gotten married, and might have had children." Duan Wenzhuo said with a light smile.
"Don't think like that. This is all part of fate." Duan Wenyu pretended to be regretful.
"That's right. Perhaps it is the arrangement of fate. However, all of this can be changed as long as I leave." Duan Wenzhuo said.
"That's enough, Vibrant Peck. Don't think too much." Hearing her words, Duan Wenyu was very pleased.
She still remembered what Tang Hongbo said about giving her a surprise on her birthday. No matter what it was, she would not let it happen smoothly.
Since he had to choose her birthday, he couldn't blame her.
Along the way, the two of them chatted. Soon, they arrived at the Tang family villa. Looking at the luxurious villa standing in the rain in the dark night, it was even more mysterious and gorgeous.
It just had to be Duan Wenzhuo who was the mistress of this place. She had personally cut off her own happiness and sent Tang Hongbo into the arms of another.
Just as Duan Wenzhuo arrived at the door, she saw Aunt Liu and Old Lin waiting at the door with umbrellas.
Her heart suddenly heated up, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. This scene was just like a child whose parents were waiting for their late return. She originally thought that in family and love, she would always be the one that wasn't chosen.
But now, she was even more touched.
"Madam." The Aunt Liu smiled and came over to help her hold up an umbrella, while Old Lin took the car keys from Duan Wenyu's hand and drove the car to the garage.
"Aunt Liu, why is it raining? Why are you still coming out?" Duan Wenzhuo gently rebuked.
"It's okay, it's okay. Seeing that you're not back yet, Old Lin and I were a bit worried, so we came out to take a look." The Aunt Liu laughed.
"Don't worry, I will be at Hongbo's company in the afternoon, and Sister Wenyu will send me back in the evening." Duan Wenzhuo said.
"Oh, really? Thank you, Miss Duan. " Aunt Liu thanked Duan Wenyu who was behind her.
Duan Wenyu nodded her head in response. She looked at everything that had happened, it was originally a treatment that belonged to her, but now that she was enjoying it, it turned out to be Duan Wenzhuo's.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
When Tang Hongbo returned late into the night, the house was quiet. Other than turning on the lights and reminding him that he had returned late again, he did not know that it had already been several days.
Ever since the anniversary, he had been busy. He already felt very sorry for Duan Wenzhuo, always being trapped with her and not accompanying her.
Seeing that she was getting more and more depressed, he could only gently embrace her in his arms in the middle of the night.
It was his way of expressing love, reserved and passionate.
Duan Wenzhuo had already fallen asleep, and during the process of waiting, she fell asleep once again.
Until Tang Hongbo went to bed and hugged her tightly, she said those words in a daze.
"You're back." Then he fell asleep.
Seeing her cute side, Tang Hongbo couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, before hugging her and falling asleep peacefully.
On the third day, it rained for almost a week. Finally, it stopped raining. The sun quietly smiled. The weather was rare, where the weather was sunny and cloudless.
