Leng Yan stroked Wen Nuan’s smooth hair: "She needs a male companion, but she’s afraid the flaw will be seen when dancing. Did you notice the lace on her wrist?"
"It’s so obvious, how could I not notice? Plus, my master asked her, and she said it was given by her male companion." Thinking of this, Wen Nuan was still a bit angry. Ji Wei was so arrogant back then, the words were addressed to everyone, but her eyes were fixed on her.
Bare. Naked. Challenge!
What’s even more infuriating is that this man is right next to her now. Looking at his partially exposed chest under the bathrobe, Wen Nuan poked him hard: "Her male companion is you, my husband."
Grabbing Wen Nuan’s finger, he bent down and kissed it: "Jealous?"
Wen Nuan nodded and then shook her head hastily.
It wasn’t just jealousy, she couldn’t describe what she was feeling. The feelings he had against Ji Wei before had been completely erased, what did he feel about Ji Wei now?
Feelings that started back in freshman year, can they just be forgotten?
"That lace was to cover up the wound wrapped in gauze she had." He explained, gazing into Wen Nuan’s eyes, somewhat aggrieved: "I called you many times before I went, just to prevent misunderstanding. But your phone was off."
"Because you lied to me before, and I was mad." She explained, lifting her eyes to look at his star-like eyes, her thoughts became more and more chaotic, hesitated for a long time, but finally asked: "Now... how do you feel?"
Leng Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing she was asking how he felt about Ji Wei now.
"If I hadn’t married you, if I hadn’t fallen for you when I hated her, maybe I would have accepted her again." He closed his eyes and hugged her waist with slightly tighter fingers, his voice low and firm: "But, there are no ifs. I fell in love with you, I loved you even before Ji Wei said those words. Although I never confessed to you, I can’t deceive my heart. When Ji Wei revealed the truth from back then, I felt guilty, but I can’t deceive myself, I can’t go back to her. Too much happened in between that completely broke everything we had before."
Wen Nuan’s tangled heart gradually calmed down.
If Ji Wei hadn’t left back then, Leng Yan would have surely continued to love her. But in these three years, not too long nor too short, unexpected changes happen, for example, he got married, the bride is her, not Ji Wei.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore, tell me about you and Tan Qing."
Leng Yan pinched her nose: "Be honest, do you like Tan Qing?"
Ji Wei’s topic was too heavy, and he was trying to make amends, but he didn’t want to talk too much about her with Wen Nuan.
Moreover, Tan Qing did have feelings for Wen Nuan. Facing a rival that was just as good as him, he needed to be sufficiently wary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know when his wife might be taken away.
"Tan Qing?" Wen Nuan blinked innocently: "Of course I like him."
Who doesn’t like their own friends, right?
"Wen Nuan, say you don’t like him." Leng Yan gritted his teeth, hearing his wife say she liked another man made him want to bite her.
"But I do like him a lot." Wen Nuan continued to tease him, watching him grit his teeth, she burst out laughing: "It’s the kind of friend-like liking, and the way I feel about you is different."
He knew this result, but he had to hear it from her mouth to feel at ease.
"Say you love me." He smirked, bringing his lips close to her ear, gently licking, his voice low and charming.
He had said "I love you" so many times today, desperately hoping she would say it once as well. It had been a long time since she expressed her feelings to him.
"You love me." Wen Nuan blinked, very obediently repeated, her lips smiling even more brightly. Hehe, teasing Leng Yan is an interesting thing, she enjoyed it.
