Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Perplexed

"Sister, is brother-in-law not treating you well? Why are you running out so late?"

Pengfei also noticed, worriedly holding Wen Nuan’s hand: "Sis, tell me and Dad, is brother-in-law bullying you?"

"No, we’re fine." Wen Nuan said somewhat guiltily, glancing at Wen Qingyan, with tears almost welling up. She quickly lowered her head, grabbed an apple from the table, and took a big bite, then smiled sweetly: "Mm, so sweet."

"Nuannuan." Wen Qingyan frowned at Wen Nuan, picked up the phone nearby: "If nothing’s wrong, why did you run out alone? Let Dad ask him."

Ever since Wen Nuan was young, whenever she encountered something she wanted to avoid, she loved to change the subject. And ever since he entered the door, her expression hasn’t been good, which inevitably worried him.

Wen Qingyan couldn’t bear seeing his daughter upset. At the time, letting her marry into the Leng Family was really a last resort. Besides, Leng Siyan repeatedly promised that the Leng Family would treat Wen Nuan well.

"Dad, we’re okay." Wen Nuan quickly held down his hand.

"Sister, if nothing’s wrong, why didn’t brother-in-law come with you? It’s so late, would he really be at ease?" Pengfei’s eyes flashed with doubt and concern.

"Tonight I was with Tong Xi, just eating nearby. On a whim, I wanted to come home and stay. I haven’t been here in days; I really miss home."

Wen Nuan pretended to smile mischievously, sitting between Pengfei and Wen Qingyan, patting their shoulders: "Don’t worry about me, Leng Yan and I are doing great. Dad, it’s so late, I want to sleep at home. Is that okay?"

"Silly girl, this is your home, why wouldn’t it be okay?" Wen Qingyan was slightly reassured, rubbing her hair: "Go run a bath, then come down and chat with me and Pengfei."

"Alright, I’ll be right down." Wen Nuan nodded happily, biting her apple as she went upstairs. As soon as she opened her bedroom, her phone rang with a pleasant ringtone. She glanced at it, a trace of bitterness rising in her eyes.

It was Leng Yan.

Heart firm, she hung up! Her slender fingers quickly tapped out a few words, replied to him, then turned off the phone.

Just let her be willful this once, because right now, she really didn’t know what to say to Leng Yan.

"I’m not going back tonight, I’m staying at my place, don’t wait for me."

The short message made Leng Yan furrow his brows tightly. After a long while, he gently exhaled a breath of resentment.

"Mr. Leng, is it okay for just one night?" Ji Wei’s assistant came again, her shy eyes glimmering with pleading: "I’m really afraid I won’t be able to take good care of her..."

"You go sleep in the room next door, wake up early tomorrow." Leng Yan nodded, ordering lightly, and walked into Ji Wei’s bedroom. Watching her already sleeping peacefully, he sat on the sofa, leaned back, and closed his eyes, Wen Nuan’s shouts echoing in his ears again.

"I hate malicious deception the most!"

A hint of self-mockery appeared on his lips: Does his deception count as malicious?

Suicide is such an awkward matter. Ji Wei repeatedly begged him not to tell, otherwise she’d be finished.

***

The most beautiful scene of my life

is meeting you

Silently gazing at you amidst the vast sea of people

Strange yet familiar

Even though breathing under the same sky

unable to embrace you

A soft, slightly melancholic song played from the car’s radio, as Wen Nuan’s lips formed a bitter smile.

She had always felt that the most beautiful scene of her life was meeting Leng Yan...

But, just like the song, she was unable to embrace him. No, unable to embrace his heart.

What should she do?

The car parked in the spot, and for a long time, she leaned back against the seat, eyes closed, not wanting to move at all.

Last night she talked a long time with her dad, seeing her father’s excited expression when talking about the help from Leng Yan to gradually recover the Wen Family, she really couldn’t bear to let him know that she and Leng Yan were going to divorce.

But, should it just continue like this?
