She thought he had left, but unexpectedly ran into him in the elevator.
"I’ve been waiting outside for you, but you came out with your head down and didn’t see me." Leng Ye handed her a tissue and asked gently, "Your face didn’t look well when you went in just now. Nuannuan, did something happen?"
"I’m fine, I’m really fine." Quickly drying her tears, Wen Nuan sniffed and said.
"I don’t believe you. And it wouldn’t be because Tan Qing scolded you; just because you’re my sister-in-law, he wouldn’t scold you." Leng Ye gently ruffled her hair with concern. "Even though you’re my sister-in-law, I’ve always treated you like my own sister. Come on, let’s go to the café and have a chat."
Seeing that Wen Nuan had no room to decline, Leng Ye pressed the button for the ground floor. Wen Nuan sighed and didn’t oppose any further.
She knew why the relationship between Leng Yan and Leng Ye was bad, simply because Leng Ye believed Leng Yan’s mother was the other woman, even though that was not the case. However, in her heart, she had always regarded Leng Ye as an older brother. When they first met, everyone in the Leng Family was very cold to him, except Leng Ye, who gave her a warm smile that made her feel close. Because of this, she didn’t feel guarded against Leng Ye due to Leng Yan.
"Yesterday, Yan went to the old house."
Sitting down in the café, the waiter brought over coffee. After a light sip, Leng Ye spoke gently.
"I know." Wen Nuan nodded lightly, "Mom told me when she called today."
"Yes, Mom is very worried about you two. After all, Ji Wei..." Leng Ye played with the bottom of the white bone china coffee cup, paused, and then continued, "It’s normal for a first love to be unforgettable. You’ve seen the photos published in the newspaper, right? Nuannuan, have you thought about what to do?"
Wen Nuan shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I haven’t thought it through yet. Any good suggestions from you, big brother?"
She hadn’t told anyone about wanting a divorce except for Tong Xi.
Leng Ye was slightly stunned, his eyes gentle: "I’m Yan’s big brother, but indeed what he did was wrong. Yesterday, our parents called him back to the old house because of this matter, to tell him not to get too close to Ji Wei. It’s just..."
Looking calmly at Wen Nuan, Leng Ye hesitated for a moment, sighed slightly, "Yan loves Ji Wei deeply. In these three years, although he seems carefree, not a day has passed without remembering her. Upon hearing Ji Wei was back and had taken over the near-bankrupt Qingcheng Entertainment, he also managed to get Ji Wei into Qingcheng Entertainment. It’s said to be in spite of him. But without love, where does the hatred come from? As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the resentment!"
The deeper the love, the deeper the resentment!
Indeed, if it weren’t for love, it wouldn’t be worth going through so much trouble to bring Ji Wei into Qingcheng, close to him.
Wen Nuan lowered her head further, repeatedly stirring the coffee, watching the vortex swirl just like her own heart, spiraling without a place to rest, not knowing how to stay calm.
Especially Leng Ye’s last words, which made her heart feel like a tangled mess, leaving her restless.
"Brother, it’s getting late. I have to go back; my master is waiting for me." The longer she sat, the more flustered and at a loss she felt. Even though she was already determined to leave, hearing Leng Ye’s words made her heart ache. She was really afraid her resolve would falter and she’d pour out her grievances to Leng Ye.
Although he seemed kind, she inexplicably felt some resistance and didn’t want to share her thoughts with him.
"Go back then." Leng Ye nodded and gently reminded her, "Don’t be too sad."
After thanking him, she hurriedly walked forward. Once inside the elevator, just as she was about to press the button for her floor, a voice she least wanted to hear sounded: "Assistant Wen, wait a moment."
