Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Half-True, Half-False

"Xixi, let’s go."

Wen Nuan lifted her gaze to the veins on his forehead, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips, and she tugged on Tong Xi’s sleeve.

He defended Ji Wei like this, clearly not over her. Alright, she didn’t want to argue, not one bit. What was the point of arguing with a man who didn’t love her?

Divorce was more practical, after all, this marriage wasn’t based on love.

He said he didn’t love Ji Wei anymore, is this what not loving looks like?

Lying to his wife about working overtime, but running here to the "enemy"?

Heh, how laughable this kind of "not loving" is!

"Nuannuan, you can’t be so weak, you weren’t like this before." Tong Xi refused to leave; she was fearless since childhood, from the upper echelons of society in France, not at all intimidated by Leng Yan.

Wen Nuan was her best friend, and Tong Xi was shocked by Wen Nuan’s weakness, unable to swallow this indignation. Even as Wen Nuan dragged her to the elevator, she still glared angrily at Leng Yan.

Wen Nuan gave a bitter smile.

Yes, she wasn’t like this before. If the man in front of her had ever said "I love you" but was entangled with another woman, she would’ve rushed up and slapped him without hesitation.

But, he didn’t.

This man didn’t love her; he had clearly told her he would never fall in love with her. Even now, he was more like a husband than before, knowing how to care for her, but he had never said those three words to her.

"Yes, I wasn’t like this before. Maybe soon, I won’t be like this anymore either." Wen Nuan bit her lip, gave Leng Yan a glance, her voice light and slow, yet seemingly mixed with immense pain.

Not anymore, she was always the lively Wen Nuan. Before seventeen, she unabashedly admired handsome guys and lavished them with direct compliments. But Leng Yan was the last one she praised. From then on, her awakening emotions began to harbor secrets.

Yet, even so, she remained generous, lively, kind, and lovely, always adored by women and admired by men wherever she went.

This change was all because she married him.

So, after the divorce? Could she go back to the way she was?

No longer troubled by love, she would live freely once more.

Her resentful gaze and determined words caused Leng Yan’s body to startle, as he stood high above, gazing at her, meeting her eyes, a slow wave of pity rising within him.

Because he saw her with Tan Qing earlier, he originally didn’t want to say anything, but he still couldn’t help but approach her: "Actually, about today, this is what happened, I was originally working overtime tonight, but when I came out to eat, I saw Ji Wei drunk, so I brought her back, intending to leave once her assistant arrived."

His words were half true, half false, after all, Ji Wei was a celebrity. Suicide was a huge scandal, and he had kept it well-hidden at the hospital, her assistant naturally wouldn’t say anything either. Besides, Tong Xi was here. Based on what he had learned from Wen Nuan and his interaction with Tong Xi on the day they went out, he knew Tong Xi’s personality.

If he revealed it, this event would definitely not be concealed. Within half an hour, news of Ji Wei’s suicide would spread like wildfire.

He couldn’t allow Ji Wei to be harmed by this!

However, there was some truthfulness. He was indeed waiting for Ji Wei’s assistant, which was why he hadn’t left.

He felt uneasy about Ji Wei’s condition, so after she fell asleep, he decided to call her assistant.

Wen Nuan paused her steps, turned to look at him, seemingly to see if he was lying. Suddenly, a figure ran in, accidentally bumping into her.

When the person apologized, Wen Nuan and Tong Xi could clearly see.

The girl was indeed Ji Wei’s assistant.
