Chapter 62: Chapter 62: I Answer Everyone Else’s Calls, but Not Yours! (2)_1

Since then, he’d never given her a call, not even on the day he’d arranged for them to pick up their marriage certificate - his assistant, Zhang Te, made that call to ask for her opinion instead.

In fact, compared to the fact that it was Zhang Te, acting as his proxy, who accompanied her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate, the fact that he hadn’t initiated a single call to her in the past two years suddenly seemed less significant...

Even after such a long time, she would always remember just how happy and excited she had been the night before the day they were to get the marriage certificate. She had barely slept, and she woke up early to shower, put on makeup and change her clothes. She had never been so concerned about her appearance. She tried on almost every piece of clothing she owned that was in season, and she even wore high heels, something she seldom did.

An hour before the time they had agreed to pick up the certificate, she was all ready. She checked herself in the mirror every five minutes and looked at the clock every three. As she eagerly, and finally, received a call from Zhang Te informing her that he would be at her place in five minutes, she forgot all about the modesty expected from a lady and, after hanging up, ran out to wait by the entrance. When his car arrived and the door opened, it was Zhang Te who stepped out to help her into the car. Only after getting in did she realize the car was empty except for her. She initially thought that he must have been busy and sent Zhang Te to pick her up early. Only when the car arrived directly at the Civil Affairs Bureau did she ask Zhang Te in bewilderment, "Where is he?"

She would never, ever forget the guilty and sympathetic look in Zhang Te’s eyes when he heard her question.

She would never, ever forget the words Zhang Te said to her that day, "Mr. Han had last-minute work and has flown to Shanghai. He asked me to accompany you to handle the marriage procedures."

She had an unrequited crush for six years and was married for two. During these eight years, Xia Wan’an never felt tired. But now, she didn’t even know what was wrong with her. Starting from the moment she heard him say, "When did she enter the Han Family", in his office, she suddenly felt exhausted. So tired... so tired that... she felt she couldn’t hold on to this unrequited love any longer.

"Wan’an, you’re awake?" A soft, fragile voice from behind woke Xia Wan’an from her trance.

She turned her head and saw Ai Jiang, who had woken up at some point.

Xia Wan’an instinctively locked her phone and gave Ai Jiang a smile, "Good morning."

Ai Jiang responded with a "Good morning," and pointed to the kitchen, "Are you hungry? I can make something for you..."

"Sure..." Xia Wan’an replied with a beaming smile, "...I’ll take a shower first, then come help you."

It wasn’t until Ai Jiang entered the kitchen that Xia Wan’an went into the bathroom.

After locking the door behind her, Xia Wan’an began brushing her teeth while unlocking her phone to check it again.

Han Jingnian had called her three times last night... Could something urgent have happened? Was it related to the Han Family? Or her family?

After some consideration, Xia Wan’an decided to return Han Jingnian’s call.

Unexpectedly, he picked up almost instantaneously.

"Um..." Xia Wan’an hesitated, "You called me last night, is there something wrong?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, "Where is the water card?"

Hearing this, Xia Wan’an suddenly remembered last night when he had asked her the same question, and she’d replied with something along the lines of "When I remember, I’ll tell you in a dream..."

Recalling this, Xia Wan’an responded, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to dream last night..."
