Nuan Nuan looked at the door that was pushed open, and was stunned for a moment. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he put down the phone: "Didn't you say you'll be arriving the day after tomorrow?"
"You finished your work in advance and came here. Are you surprised?"
Tan Qing walked over with a chuckle, stood next to Wen Nuan, and looked down at her design: "It's really good. I saw Yun Duo just now. She said she liked it very much and was looking forward to wearing the clothes you designed."
"Do you know Mrs. Zhan?" Wen Nuan was slightly stunned when Tan Qing directly called out Yun Duo's name.
Tan Qing nodded: "Aoze and I met when we were studying abroad. We were in the same school and he was my senior. MT opened a branch in City E and asked him for help, so he met Yunduo. I
This time I come not only to see you, but also to attend Mr. Zhan’s birthday banquet. Nuannuan, please come with me."
"I'd better not go." Wen Nuan shook his head: "I'm not familiar with these people, and I don't like this kind of occasion."
The Wen family was in N City, and their business was pretty good. Although they were not considered to be members of the upper class, they still had some banquets to attend. She didn't like it very much, and sometimes even when she went there, she was more interested in observing the dress designs of ladies and ladies.
See if you can find some inspiration for yourself.
"Let's go together." Tan Qing naturally held her hand. There was a strange feeling in the warmth. She wanted to hide away, but looked at his affectionate eyes and gave up her struggle.
She said that she wanted to give Tan Qing and herself a chance, and she didn't want to hurt Tan Qing's heart.
"Yan'er and Xuan'er mentioned you just now, and Yun Duo also invited you to come with them." Tan Qing saw her obediently letting him hold her hand, and said with a gentle smile.
Nuan Nuan's face turned red: "Did you say anything to others?"
When Yun Duo and Zhan Aoze came, she felt an inquiring smile flashing in Yun Duo's eyes. However, Yun Duo just smiled without revealing anything.
Now that I think about it, I suddenly understand what that smile means.
"I said you are my prospective girlfriend." Tan Qing said with a big smile: "Yun Duo said I have a good vision. Lian Yan'er and Xuan'er just found out about it and said that we are a good match."
"Sweat, what do children know?" Wen Nuan became even more embarrassed. Do you want to attend this banquet as Tan Qing's girlfriend?
"Go ahead, they are a very nice family and won't make you feel rude." Tan Qing tried her best to persuade: "It makes sense to bring a female companion. I don't want to bring another woman."
"Okay." Wen Nuan bit her lip and agreed. "I heard that Mr. Zhan has a high reputation and is very open-minded."
After Nuan Nuan finished speaking, he remembered that he had heard Leng Yan talk about it. It was said that the Leng family encountered difficulties in his early years, and Leng Siyuan asked Mr. Zhan for help. He was vaguely worried, would Leng Siyuan come too?
After all, an eightieth birthday is different from others.
Soon, she shook her head slightly, feeling a little clearer in her heart.
What does it have to do with whether she comes or not?
She is no longer Leng Yan's wife, and she is no longer Leng Siyuan's daughter-in-law. Besides, Leng Siyuan was the one who made the fake marriage certificate first. It will be him who will be ashamed when the time comes, so what can't she face?
of.

In N City, the night was dark and it started to rain heavily soon.
After dinner, Leng Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning tightly. Ji Wei, who was sitting on the sofa, was so happy that she wanted to sing and dance.
It's raining heavily, so nice!
"Yan, will you... just stay here tonight?" Ji Wei looked at the rain curtain outside, walked over gently, and hugged his waist from behind: "It's raining so hard, it's better not to go back.
OK?"
Her slender fingers were wrapped around his narrow but strong waist, and Leng Yan felt a sense of disgust in his heart. He wanted to push her away, but he was afraid of arousing her suspicion.
"Yan, will you stay with me tonight? You know, I'm afraid of heavy rain." Seeing Leng Yan didn't speak, Ji Wei felt chilled. She hugged her tighter and pressed her face against his back.
Why is Sheng still such a stranger? She is even more confused about how he treats her. He never takes the initiative to hug him. She takes the initiative to hug him, but she doesn't dodge. He speaks very gently, but there is a faint feeling of unfamiliarity.
.
She used to think that he would take her to have an abortion, but now this idea was rejected. She was thinking about it, but she could only think of one thing, that scene that she didn't want to remember.
"Yan, do you hate me?" Ji Wei's tears were about to fall, and there was sadness in her soft voice: "You don't want to touch me because I was raped three years ago and I'm dirty, don't you?
But, you know, it's not my fault..."
Leng Yan turned around, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and held her shoulders with both hands: "What are you talking about? How could I have such thoughts."
Regarding the incident three years ago, all he really felt was guilt. He admitted that he hated her now, but it had nothing to do with that incident. He hated her for her deliberateness and lack of kindness in her heart. Hating her has become nothing more.
She was the same girl three years ago.
"Then you know that I'm scared, but you still don't stay?" Ji Wei felt a little more comfortable. She raised her eyes and looked at him with water in her eyes, like a delicate pear blossom: "I can't sleep in such a heavy rain, so you stay with me.
OK?"
"Okay." Leng Yan nodded.
Speaking of this, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse. Seeing Ji Wei happily walking to the room on the first floor, he could only follow her.
After Ji Wei came back, she moved to the first floor because she was afraid it would be bad for her children if she fell.
Halfway through, Leng Yan stopped again and looked at her tenderly: "You go in first, and I'll ask Sister Liu to make some midnight snacks for you."
Not wanting to be alone in a room with her, he could only delay as much time as possible.
"Yes." Ji Wei smiled charmingly, feeling as if the flowers were blooming in spring and she was so happy.
He was really nice and considerate to her.
"Sister Ping, make a bowl of soothing soup for Ji Wei." Leng Yan said to Sister Ping, who was preparing breakfast for the next day, and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "I can't find a suitable reason to leave City E now."
"I heard from my wife today that I am going to E City to celebrate an old man's 80th birthday, but he has not been in good health since he came back, and he wants Ye to go there on his behalf." Sister Ping cooked the porridge and looked at her lovingly.
Leng Yan: "Master Ye hasn't come back yet. Why don't you talk to the master and let me go instead?"
Ji Wei always called Leng Yan to come over, and every time he came, she had to deal with it with all her brains. Sister Ping felt very distressed when she saw it in her heart. And she really liked Wen Nuan and didn't want Ji Wei to be like this.
The woman became the second young mistress of the Leng family.
"Dad didn't go to the company these days, and I didn't go to the old house either. I didn't know about this." Leng Yan's depression finally dissipated a lot.
Without thinking about anything else, he took out his cell phone and called Leng Siyuan. When he hung up, he had a slight smile on his face.
This was the first time he truly smiled since Nuan Nuan left.
Leng Siyuan agreed with him to go to City E, saying that things there were a bit complicated with Leng Ye and he might not be able to come back in time.
She waited quietly for Sister Ping to prepare the porridge, brought it to Ji Wei, and watched her drink it.
"Thank you, Yan. Can you lie down next to me?" Ji Wei leaned to the side and pointed to the place beside her.
"Ji Wei." Leng Yan looked at her with some embarrassment: "I sit here and watch you fall asleep. You know, it is not easy for you to be pregnant with this child. Think about the child in your belly, this is our last
Chance."
Ji Wei felt disappointed, but she still nodded: "Okay."
She didn't dare to rush for success, she knew that she would have to wait hard for him to really come back. Not only because of the child, but also because of her, Ji Wei.
Leng Yan said that she would wait until the child was more stable before getting a certificate to make up for the wedding. Therefore, the first thing she had to do was to save the child.
While talking to Ji Wei wordlessly, and waiting for her eyes to truly close and her breathing to fall asleep steadily, Leng Yan frowned, walked out, and entered a guest room.
Standing in front of the window, he had a cigarette burning at his fingertips, but he just took a puff and seemed to forget about it, just staring at the rain curtain in a daze.
I don’t know if it rained in E City, or if she is doing well...
He picked up Ji Wei's camera and printed out the photo. Holding it in his hand, it felt like he was holding a sharp thorn. Moreover, it was not pierced in the palm of his hand, but pierced in his heart.
Nuan Nuan, I'm going to E City in a few days. I'll go find you after the old man's birthday party. Tell me personally that the photo is fake and not what I saw, okay?
**
After leaving Ji Wei's place in a hurry in the morning, Ji Wei had something to do in the past few days, so he tried his best to push her over and not see her. He told her that he was going to E City to celebrate Zhan Qingfeng's birthday. He was extremely busy with work recently. But, still nothing
Prevent Ji Wei from going to the airport to see her off.
As soon as Leng Yan arrived at the airport, he saw Ji Wei, who had specially put on makeup to prevent others from seeing it, walking towards him. Leng Yan's eyes seemed a bit colder: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you off." Ji Wei's beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted, looking sad: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Yan, will you be gone for a long time?"
"No, I will be back in a few days." He gently shook Ji Wei's hand and comforted: "Go back, I will go in soon."
Looking at Sister Ping who was following her, he winked secretly and asked her to "take good care of" her.
Leng Ye would be back today. He was afraid that the old man would suddenly change his mind and let Leng Ye go, so he chose the earliest flight.
Helplessly watching Leng Yan go in, Ji Wei stood outside and refused to leave. There was an inexplicable feeling rolling in her heart. She was always afraid that something would happen, and she always felt that once Leng Yan left, she would never come back.
Want her to be the same.
When Ji Wei's cell phone rang, her face changed slightly when she looked at it.
