Chapter 337: Chapter 326: The Mysterious New Neighbor_2
"Hey, Nuannuan, wait a minute." Just as Wen Nuan was about to turn into the nearby vegetable market to buy some groceries, a colleague suddenly called her. Wen Nuan turned back, slightly surprised: "What’s up?"
"One day, I think I saw someone near your place who looks a lot like the Queen of Heaven Ji Wei. Have you noticed?" The colleague calling her is a fan of Ji Wei and used to enthusiastically talk to her about Ji Wei’s new historical drama shoot, but she just smiled faintly, indicating she was not sure.
Wen Nuan’s heart suddenly tightened, and she remembered the rainy morning when she saw the person in the taxi. She touched her chest, her voice a bit airy: "You saw Ji Wei?"
"No, just someone who looked a lot like her. They wore big sunglasses, and it was quite late, so I couldn’t see clearly." The female colleague shrugged, looking disappointed: "But that person had short hair. It couldn’t be Ji Wei. The Queen of Heaven has always loved having long, flowing hair. Moreover, the media reported that she’s temporarily gone abroad to recuperate. How could she be here, right?"
"Haha, yes." Wen Nuan’s face twitched into a smile, gently comforting herself inside.
She had the same questions at the time. But with so many people in the world, there are bound to be many who look alike. Even if they don’t, some people will still undergo cosmetic surgery to look like celebrities.
"I was thinking of asking her for an autograph." The colleague sighed, "It probably wasn’t her."
After buying vegetables at the market and putting them in the fridge, she still couldn’t calm her heart. Ji Wei’s silhouette kept flickering in her mind. She rubbed her temples in frustration, scolding herself for being so jumpy. What’s there to fear, even if it really was Ji Wei? They have nothing to do with each other anymore, right?
She closed her eyes, trying to quiet her heart. Outside the door, she heard a click, as if someone were unlocking the security door, and faint voices.
A new neighbor?
She stood up, curious, but was disappointed when she looked out and saw the door just closing, seeing nothing.
Crazy! Wen Nuan cursed herself: Why are you so curious? What’s there to be disappointed about? If not today, you’ll see them tomorrow.
Checking the time, she called Tong Xi. This girl was traveling across the beautiful rivers and mountains, saying she’d tour half of China before heading back to France.
Tong Xi happily answered her call: "Nuannuan, guess where I am?"
Hearing Tong Xi’s hearty laughter, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but feel happy too. Her lips curled into a mischievous smile: "You’re always running around everywhere; I honestly have no idea where you’re ’causing trouble’ today."
"Haha, I’d love to find a guy to cause trouble with me. But I just haven’t found anyone as attractive as Leng Yan and Tan Qing..." Tong Xi said unabashedly, then suddenly covered her mouth, her voice turned weak after a moment: "Sorry, Nuannuan."
Her mouth really needed a slap. How could she just casually mention Leng Yan like that? He’s almost someone else’s child’s father now, while poor Nuannuan...
"I’m fine." Wen Nuan tried hard to keep her voice cheerful, but her heart ached.
Leng Yan, Leng Yan...
Whenever she heard this name, she couldn’t stay calm. She often blamed herself for being so foolish, but when she thought about how her dad said he’s gotten thinner recently, how he said he doesn’t want to come home when she’s not around, her heart couldn’t help but hurt in waves.
Was she wrong?
Leaving him, who was also in pain, at a time like this...
But she was truly scared, losing confidence in herself. Sometimes, she dreamed of Leng Yan and Ji Wei holding a cute child’s hand happily, and her heart would sour, soaking the pillow with tears.
"Xixi, where exactly are you now? You still haven’t told me." Tong Xi seemed to still be in self-blame, silent for a while. Not wanting Tong Xi to continue like this, Wen Nuan quickly asked, her voice lightly cheerful: "Quickly, tell me where you are, have I been there?"
"I’m at Emei Mountain, such a beautiful place!" Tong Xi laughed happily: "Nuannuan, when are you coming back?"
"Maybe in half a month," Wen Nuan thought and replied.
She wouldn’t wait too long; she had to go back and tell Wen Qingyan. This matter needed to be handled slowly; she didn’t dare rush, fearing it would anger her father enough to make him sick. Actually, this was just her simple thinking; she wasn’t a god and couldn’t predict the future. She didn’t know that in just a few days, she would be temporarily leaving E City. (Note this sentence~~~~~~~~~)
She tossed her phone aside and went to the kitchen to cook when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Curiously, she opened it, stunned to see the person standing outside.
"Tan Qing?"
Tan Qing was holding a suitcase, looking somewhat weary.
"What, aren’t you going to let me in?" Tan Qing had one hand in his pocket, looking at her, a teasing smile on his thin lips: "That’s no way to treat a guest."
"Haha, come in quickly."
Wen Nuan’s face turned bright red with embarrassment, quickly letting him in, and fetched a bottle of mineral water for Tan Qing: "Why did you suddenly come to E City?"
"There were some issues with the operations here, so I hurried over after dealing with matters in N City." He spoke casually, leaning on the sofa, truly exhausted.
He hadn’t rested at noon, made a detailed plan on the plane, and now he was really worn out.
"Did something happen with the company?" Wen Nuan sat beside him, looking at the fatigue on his face: "Is it serious, requiring you to come so urgently?"
She was just a designer and knew nothing about management issues. Recently, she was busy and didn’t care about this, so she didn’t know what was going on.
Tan Qing smiled lightly: "Not serious. It’s just that the branch company just established, and the local manager’s family suddenly had some issues, with some difficult problems to handle."
Actually, he didn’t need to come personally; sending a deputy would suffice. But he wanted to come because by coming here, he could see Wen Nuan. She had no idea how much he wanted to see her.
