“It’s alright, don’t be sad. This won’t do. Let’s wait for the next one.” Wen Ruoshui did not know how to comfort her. She held her hand and gave her strength. “There are many men in the world. You’ll definitely be able to find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.”
“Yes.” Dongfang Chu nodded, but her eyes were desolate.
Would she?
She asked herself.
No way.
How could such a magical fate be broken so easily? How could it be forgotten so easily?
She felt that she would never forget the first time she saw him. Her intense heartbeat seemed to still be lingering in her ears.
She did not return the painting. She transferred the money to him and treated it as though she had bought the painting from him.
Wen Ruoshui was worried about her going back alone and asked her to follow her home and stay with her.
It was very quiet in the car.
Wen Ruoshui carefully looked at her good friend sitting beside her, wanting to see something from her expression and actions. Afraid of being discovered, she quickly looked away.
“I’m really fine.” Dongfang Chu looked at her. “You can ask whatever you want. He already has a wife. How can I ruin his family and be a third party?”
“I didn’t look, I didn’t look.” Wen Ruoshui hurriedly shifted her gaze away, her eyes darting around to avoid her. She then muttered, “I’m really not curious at all. You’re right. Who cares about a married man?”
If Chu Chu could figure it out, that would be great.
That man was just a little good-looking. Even his family background was mysterious. He was not suitable for Chu Chu at all. Chu Chu was too innocent.
“I just feel a little regretful.” Dongfang Chu smiled indifferently. In order to reassure her, she asked jokingly, “Shui Shui, if I had met him earlier, would his wife have been gone?”
Wen Ruoshui nodded. “Yes.”
“If there’s a chance in the future, I really want to see his wife.” Dongfang Chu’s heart softened when she thought of the gentle affection in the man’s cold and distant eyes when he mentioned his wife.
He must have loved his wife a lot. Just the mention of her was so satisfying, and he sounded so loving. She was his whole world.
“Okay.” Wen Ruoshui felt that she seemed to have let go, but she also felt that she had not let go. She only said this to reassure her.
After that day, there was nothing unusual about Dongfang Chu. She ate, drank, and had fun. However, when she mentioned Jun Shiyan occasionally, she felt a little regretful.
After April, the trees started to sprout, and the weather became warmer. It became warmer every day. Spring had arrived.
Wen Ruoshui had just come out of the shower when she heard the sound of a car at the door. She had already learned how to recognize a car by its sound and walked out happily.
Yan Yuanfei felt that the dinner was not bad. He asked the waiter to pack a few dishes that he thought were delicious and prepared to let her try them. Just as he got out of the car, he saw the young lady wearing a pair of cold slippers and her long hair was wet. She walked over while drying her hair with a towel.
Wen Ruoshui ran towards him happily, her voice crisp and pleasant. “Brother Yan.”
Yan Yuanfei quickly went up to her. Before she could run out to get some fresh air, he pulled her back into the house and took the towel from her hand to wipe her hair. “Do you want to catch a cold?”
Why did she not cherish her body? She had just taken a shower and ran out.
“What did you buy?” Wen Ruoshui sniffed. What a fragrant smell. Her starry eyes looked at the food box in Yu Bo’s hand.
Yu Bo walked forward and placed the food box on the table. “Do you want me to take it out now?”
Wen Ruoshui could not wait anymore. Yu Bo could not lose his composure in front of her. He said calmly, “Take it out.”
Yu Bo took out the dishes and placed them on the table before leaving quickly.
Sigh! He, a single man, was not worthy!
When Wen Ruoshui saw Yu Bo leave, she immediately stopped being polite. Anyway, she did not have any image to speak of in front of him. He had seen all kinds of embarrassment. She reached out and took a prawn dumpling.
“We’ll eat later.” Yan Yuanfei helped her blow dry her hair and looked at her lovingly. He reminded her helplessly, “Be careful not to choke. Eat slowly.”
“Delicious.” Wen Ruoshui could not help but praise it as she ate. The skin was thin and the filling was big. The prawns were also very fresh. The texture was very chewy, and there was even juice when she took a bite. It was delicious.
Yan Yuanfei smiled. “Little glutton.”
She liked to eat everything, and there was nothing she did not like to eat. She was not picky at all and ate whatever she was given. She was too easy to take care of.
Wen Ruoshui ate it herself and even took one for him. “Ah!”
Yan Yuanfei opened his mouth to eat it. It was difficult for a hero to repay a beauty’s kindness. Even if he was full, he would not reject anything she fed him. Besides, in order to eat with her, he only ate until he was half-full at the banquet.
Wen Ruoshui smiled lovingly at him.
Yan Yuanfei grabbed her head and was about to blow-dry her hair when she moved. There was something in his mouth, so his words were unclear. “Turn around. Be good and don’t move.”
Wen Ruoshui obediently stabilized her head and did not move. However, her body and hands were still moving. She carried a plate of spicy chicken pieces and ate happily.
“Jun Shiyan was at the banquet today.” Yan Yuanfei mentioned it naturally. “He rushed home less than 10 minutes after the banquet. He said that his wife came back from a trip.”
Wen Ruoshui felt that the spicy chicken in her hand immediately lost its fragrance. She muttered, “What does this have to do with me?”
That man had nothing to do with her, much less with Chu Chu. At most, they had only met once.
Yan Yuanfei felt that he still had to be honest with her. He had to tell her what he had seen. “When I went out, I saw Miss Dongfang meet him by chance.”
Coincidence?
Or perhaps it was not a coincidence?
Who would know such a thing?
Feelings were the most unpredictable thing. Humans could not control their emotions.
Wen Ruoshui stopped what she was doing for a moment and hummed in agreement. She suddenly felt that she was not hungry anymore. “I understand. Chu Chu must have gone there to eat. It must be a coincidence!”
She seemed to be convincing him, but she was actually convincing herself.
Chu Chu had said that she didn’t care and that she wouldn’t like a married man. It was all talk.
The more people emphasized something, the more they cared about it. They only said that to convince themselves and others.
“Okay,” Yan Yuanfei answered in a low voice. His slender fingers played with her long hair gently and did not say anything else.
Wen Ruoshui was silent for a moment. After struggling internally for a while, she made a decision. “I’ll go find Chu Chu later.”
