"None of your business!" Boring! Shooting a resentful glare at Tong Xi, Tan Qing reversed the car and drove out of the building area, ignoring Tong Xi’s angry expression behind.
"Hmph, arrogant guy!" Tong Xi stuck her tongue out at Tan Qing’s back and patted her head, "Oh no, I came to find Nuannuan. How did I get so caught up with a Peacock that I forgot my real purpose?"
The restaurant Wen Nuan and Lin Xue went to wasn’t far from the company. Just as they walked in, Wen Nuan’s phone rang. Seeing Tong Xi’s number, Wen Nuan’s expression slightly changed.
She let Lin Xue go in first, then answered the call. Instinctively, she felt Tong Xi’s call might have something to do with the newspaper. Sure enough, as soon as she answered, Tong Xi started talking like a machine gun.
"Nuannuan, where are you? Damn, they’re such scumbags! I was still fooled by Leng Yan’s words that day. Today, after filming, I heard colleagues eagerly gossiping about something. Then I found out that those two scumbags actually got into the nanny van and stayed inside for a long time. There’s speculation outside whether there was a car incident inside!"
Her heart throbbed painfully. Wen Nuan clutched her bag strap tightly, breathing hard to force out words without breaking into sobs: "Xixi, I saw the newspaper."
"So what are you going to do?" Tong Xi’s voice slowed down, asking softly with concern written all over her pretty face.
She gritted her teeth, "Fight them, let’s go together. Ji Wei, that vixen, acting all haughty on the set today, nearly drove me mad. We didn’t have any scenes together today, otherwise, I would have secretly made her suffer! And Leng Yan, shameless guy, eating from the pot while looking at the bowl. He clearly loved you at first, and now he’s involved with Ji Wei."
Wen Nuan sighed softly, "Leng Yan never loved me. He never even said he loved me. It’s always been just my one-sided love..."
"What, he doesn’t love you?" Tong Xi was stunned for a long time before digesting Wen Nuan’s words, still unable to believe it: "Nuannuan, didn’t he care about you a lot? Always taking your preferences into account when eating. Didn’t he help you when you had a stomachache the other day? How could he possibly not love you?"
"Caring doesn’t equal love. Maybe for me, it’s out of..." Wen Nuan closed her eyes and finally found the right word, "out of responsibility."
She remembered clearly, that day, she asked him if he cared. He said he cared because she was his wife.
Not because of love...
"This marriage was originally arranged by my father and the Leng Family to prevent the Wen Family from going bankrupt. It was always just a transaction, not about love." As Wen Nuan spoke, her nose tingled, and tears welled up, ready to overflow.
In Leng Yan’s eyes, she was nothing more than a commodity, a tool to have a child with...
Even though he told her they wouldn’t have a child together, marrying into the Leng Family meant that was what the elders expected.
Her heart ached as if a sharp knife slowly pierced it, blood trickling out.
"Nuannuan..." Tong Xi stood under the roof of the MT building, her eyes reddened, tears almost spilling out.
"So what now, Nuannuan, are you just going to stay silent and let Leng Yan continue his escapades, while you remain only his nominal wife?" Tong Xi bit her lip, shouting angrily, "Nuannuan, I won’t allow you to live without dignity!"
"I won’t. Xixi, I’ll wait for him to divorce." Wen Nuan shook her head, leaning back against the car seat, exhausted, "Xixi, there’s something I haven’t told you. Leng Yan and Ji Wei are actually first loves..." As soon as she said it, she immediately heard a scream filled with disbelief from the other end.
