"Leng Yan, you go take a shower first, I’ll go downstairs to buy you a set of clothes." After leaving the garden, Wen Nuan and Leng Yan found a nearby hotel. In the suite, Wen Nuan took Leng Yan’s car keys and pushed him into the bathroom.
He needed to take a hot shower as soon as possible, otherwise, he would easily catch a cold.
"Be careful on the way." Leng Yan gently kissed Wen Nuan’s forehead and advised tenderly.
"I know, I’m not a child, besides it’s just downstairs, I’ll be back soon." Wen Nuan smiled lightly and walked out of the hotel.
She had noticed this men’s clothing store on her way here, which had a full range of clothes, including socks and underwear, so she could buy everything in one go.
She picked out a set according to Leng Yan’s size and handed it to a clerk to pack up. When it was time to pay, Wen Nuan’s face suddenly turned extremely awkward.
She actually forgot to bring money!
"Sorry, I didn’t bring any money!" Wen Nuan gently tapped her head, remembering her car was still parked at the film set with her wallet in it.
"What’s the matter, miss, if you don’t have enough cash, you can use a card." The clerk gently reminded her.
Wen Nuan gave an embarrassed smile: "I’ve forgotten both cash and card, how about this, I’ll get my bag and come back to pick it up later."
The film set wasn’t far from here, she could quickly return with her bag.
"Xiao Liu, help me with my phone."
In the nanny car, Ji Wei leaned tiredly against the seat and instructed Xiao Liu.
"Here, Sister Ji." Xiao Liu rummaged through her bag and handed over the phone, noticing Ji Wei’s wrist, feeling a bit worried: "Is your hand okay, do you want me to input the number for you?"
"It’s fine." Ji Wei slightly twisted her wrist, feeling some pain, but it wasn’t prominent. She took the phone over.
She didn’t intend to make a call, she just wanted to send a message. Moreover, she didn’t want anyone, including Xiao Liu who was always by her side, to know to whom the message was addressed.
"Young Master Ye, I will do my best. First, infiltrate little by little, and then coordinate from inside and outside..."
At the leisure center opposite the garden, Leng Ye held a cigarette between his fingers, not smoking it, just casually sniffing it in boredom while listening to the voice on his phone.
"Alright, go ahead and do it... rest assured, leave your mother’s matters to me..." He chuckled lightly as he put the phone away, glancing at the blue sky with white clouds drifting by, he sneered: "Everyone has their own difficulties and weaknesses. Seize these two points, and you’re halfway to success."
On the wall was a piece of art about roses, he looked at it lightly, slightly narrowing his eyes.
The scene of Leng Yan stepping out of the flower shop with a huge bouquet of roses and a smile on his lips replayed in his mind...
Leng Yan, do you know, what you bought wasn’t really roses? In fact, the roses sold in flower shops nowadays are actually a type of monthly rose.
And what you think is falling in love with Wen Nuan and being loved by Wen Nuan...
Ha! It’s just a mistake.
Soon, this love dream will awaken, and you and Wen Nuan are doomed to be just passersby!
Do you know what "passersby" means? Just unrelated people!
Thinking hatefully in his mind, he gazed at the lushly painted roses, gritted his teeth, holding the phone in his hand, he threw it onto the sofa with a slap, and his whole being sank into it.
Over the years, he had been living with a mask for so long, he seemed to have forgotten how to live without one. And he gradually discovered that everyone was actually wearing a mask, concealing their true nature and thoughts, making everyone increasingly hypocritical.
He hated this hypocrisy, yet he couldn’t help but continue being hypocritical. From the initial discomfort to the eventual habit, he even started slowly liking the hypocritical life.
