Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Even If He Betrays
Let Tong Xi call, I don’t know how she would scold Leng Yan. She just wanted to give both parties some peace, not for him to be scolded.
To put it bluntly, it’s just reluctance...
"Sir, may I help you with something?" Leng Yan walked into a dessert shop, and immediately a waitress approached, her eyes brightening when she saw him.
He didn’t even look at her: "I’m here looking for someone."
His gaze searched intently, but in the end, he left disappointed. Sitting back in the car, one hand over his stomach, he still drove toward another street.
Just now, that was the sixth dessert shop he had searched. His stomach ached slightly, needing something to eat right away, but he was unwilling to stop without finding her.
The phone rang, and seeing the number, he hastily pulled over and quickly answered: "Tong Xi, any news about Nuannuan?"
"Yan." Wen Nuan softly called his name, letting the tears fall down her face. Tong Xi saw her crying again, and in a hurry, tried to grab the phone to scold Leng Yan, but Wen Nuan held it tightly.
The heart that Leng Yan had been carrying finally relaxed, like a drifting boat coming to shore, giving a feeling of stability.
"Nuannuan, are you at Tong Xi’s place? I’ll drive over to pick you up right away."
"No." Wen Nuan immediately stopped him: "I want some peace, I called you so you wouldn’t worry. Let’s meet in a few days, it’s better for now to stay calm."
After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for a response and directly turned off her phone, passing it to Tong Xi.
"Letting him off so easily, damn, why not scold him!"
Tong Xi, unwilling, picked up the phone thrown on the sofa to turn it on, standing up for Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan snatched it back: "Xixi, don’t scold him."
She hated that the three of them were so entangled, yet she couldn’t truly blame him in her heart.
Ji Wei’s matter wasn’t his fault, although she blamed him for listening to Ji Wei, she and Xixi had no evidence that Ji Wei could swim. The incident back then would have hurt Ji Wei a lot; he trusted Ji Wei and didn’t think it was a major mistake.
But, what should she do to genuinely stop any conflict between them because of Ji Wei?
She couldn’t find the answer.
Under Tong Xi’s questioning, Wen Nuan briefly recounted today’s events, including sending Tan Qing home. The more Tong Xi listened, the angrier she got, finally pulling her up from the sofa: "Go find him! So only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the commoners aren’t allowed to light lamps? He can be good to Ji Wei, but you can’t show a little concern for Tan Qing? Damn it! Nuannuan, I really want to advise you to dump Leng Yan and be with Tan Qing."
"Xixi, the one I love is Leng Yan, and I only want to be with him." Wen Nuan shook her head. How could it be, she felt friendship for Tan Qing, but love for Leng Yan.
Although she wasn’t sure how long this love would last with Ji Wei’s presence, she still hoped in her heart.
"Even if he betrays you?" Tong Xi raised an eyebrow unhappily: "He’s entangled with Ji Wei like this, one day he will betray you."
"He won’t!" Wen Nuan quickly shook her head: "He won’t."
She looked at Tong Xi, her expression exceptionally firm, "Xixi, you don’t understand Leng Yan, there was a time with Ji Wei, he loved her, but it’s ’loved’, not still in love."
Leng Yan loves her, and what he feels for Ji Wei is redemption, he would never betray her.
She really believed it would be like this, but never expected that after just one night, she could no longer say such a thing. Her belief, what she thought was unbreakable, was actually such a fragile thing.
