When Xu Wan came back from the phone call, Ruan Chen had already prepared the meal, and the aroma of the food could be heard.
It was quite late now, and she was indeed hungry.
Xu Wan walked over and sat at the dining table: "Have you... gone back to see your sister?"
"went."
"So how's she doing lately?"
Ruan Chen put the bowl in front of her and sat down immediately: "You can ask her directly."
Xu Wan smiled symbolically and did not answer.
In the past few years, she has never had the courage to face Ruan Xingwan. The most she can do is send greetings during the holidays and buy some gifts for her children to send.
She lowered her head and ate in silence.
The room was quiet with only the sound of the TV echoing.
After a while, Ruan Chen's cell phone rang.
He swiped the screen to connect, and soon two milky voices came from the other end of the phone——
"uncle!"
"Uncle~"
Ruan Chen's voice was low: "What's wrong?"
"When will you come back? I miss you every year."
"I miss my uncle every year."
Ruan Chen's lips curved slightly: "Uncle will be back tomorrow."
Xu Wan's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, why don't you go back today?
Soon, the phone was picked up by Ruan Xingwan: "Xiao Chen, it's raining outside, are you still at the company?"
"No."
"Then have you eaten? If not, come here and I will cook it for you."
Ruan Chen raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite who was almost burying his head in the bowl: "He is eating."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Okay, then I will take the two little girls to take a bath first, you can eat."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Chen asked: "Isn't the food delicious?"
Xu Wan was stunned for half a second before realizing that he was asking himself, and nodded hurriedly: "It's delicious."
"Then you hold the white rice and eat it?"
Xu Wan: "..."
She thought for a while, then put down the bowl and looked up at him: "Why don't you eat quickly? After finishing... Don't Nian Nian and Suisui want you to go back quickly?"
Ruan Chen put down his phone and said calmly: "They will already be asleep by the time I get back."
Xu Wan said "Oh" again and started eating the white rice again.
Ruan Chen looked at her for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
Xu Wan's eyes widened slightly. She couldn't tell whether it was surprise or happiness. She quickly put down the bowl: "I... give it to you."
Ruan Chen walked to the sofa, picked up his suit jacket, and glanced at her: "You look so happy."
"Yes...really?"
Xu Wan immediately adjusted his mood and watched him leave.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing came that she felt her tense nerves finally relax.
But when he saw the untouched dishes and chopsticks opposite him, the smile on his lips was slowly replaced by disappointment.
Didn't he say that he didn't have dinner...
I finally made it, but I didn’t eat a bite. I must be very hungry.
She walked to the balcony dejectedly and looked at the patter of rain outside. She put her hands on the railing and stared into the distance in trance.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something, stood up straight, and hurriedly walked towards the door. Halfway there, she turned back and trotted into the bedroom, put on a hat, mask, sunglasses, a hooded jacket, and wrapped
It has three floors inside and outside, so much so that even the paparazzi wouldn’t be able to recognize it if they pointed their cameras at their heads.
After going downstairs, she held an umbrella and ran two streets to find a pharmacy and bought 72-hour emergency contraceptive pills.
When he got home, Xu Wan took off his coat, poured a glass of water, swallowed the medicine, tore up the packaging bag, and threw it into the trash can.
After doing all this, she fell back on the sofa and took a long breath.
As soon as she lay down, she felt a little pain in her back.
Xu Wan put his hand back and took out a pen.
She looked at the pen and pursed her lips slightly.
He fell again.
Xu Wan stared at it for a while, then put down the pen, got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she walked to the dining table and cleared away the dishes.
The dishes Ruan Chen cooked were basically untouched.
At night, Xu Wan lay on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside, feeling completely sleepless.
She tossed and turned, and finally couldn't sleep. She picked up her tablet and opened a variety show she had watched countless times, and the corners of her lips slowly raised.
Ruan Chen was only twenty years old at that time, and his eyes seemed to always follow her.
At that time, she also had light in her eyes.
Xu Wan put the tablet aside, played the variety show, and slowly closed his eyes.
Another night passed.
In the morning, when Xu Wan got up, it was still raining lightly outside.
She didn't know whether it was because of the rain or because she didn't sleep much all night, but her overall mental state was not very good.
After washing up, my assistant's phone rang.
Xu Wan lay on the bed, answered the phone, and said lazily: "Hello."
The assistant said: "Sister Xu Wan, 'Manxing' needs to take photos for new product promotions."
Xu Wan woke up instantly: "Today?"
"Yes, I told you about this itinerary a week ago."
Xu Wan scratched her hair, she had completely forgotten about it.
The assistant said again: "Sister Xu Wan, we are already downstairs."
"Okay, I'll be down right away."
She changed her clothes and hurried out.
She refused to renew most of her previous endorsements when they expired, leaving only a few "stars" left.
Sitting in the car, Xu Wan rubbed his temples and clenched his fists as if to encourage himself.
The person in charge of plex must be very busy, so he won’t go to the studio all the time...
No, no, definitely not.
After arriving at the studio, Xu Wan went directly to the dressing room.
Halfway through putting on makeup, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Wan turned around and saw Pei Shanshan.
Pei Shanshan stood at the door and waved to her, then walked in and sat next to her: "You really are, I won't see you for several months unless I take publicity photos."
Xu Wan smiled: "I have been filming in other places before. Not long after I came back, I went to the theater to rehearse. I didn't mean to..."
Pei Shanshan said: "Okay, I know your reason, so don't talk to me about that. I'm telling you, Xiaochen will come back..."
Halfway through her words, Pei Shanshan realized that someone else was here, coughed and stopped talking.
Seeing that they had something to say, Xu Wan's assistant and makeup artist stood up and said, "Sister Xu Wan, I'm going to get the clothes for the photo shoot later."
The makeup artist said: "There are several sets, I'll go with them."
After the two of them left, Pei Shanshan lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Chen is back, you don't know yet, right?"
Xu Wan paused with the hand holding the cup, lowered his head and bit the straw, looked away guiltily, and said vaguely: "Really?"
Pei Shanshan thought for a while and then said: "Xu Wan, actually, it's been so long, you really should let it go."
After a long while, Xu Wancai stared at the water in the cup and whispered: "I know, but I... I can't pass the test in my heart."
