As she spoke, a chill ran down her spine. It was as if she could see Wen Nuan being threatened by some shady individuals, forced into a marriage with a repulsive man. She seemed to see Wen Nuan’s tearful and pitiful eyes when asked if she was willing to marry him, yet having no choice but to nod in agreement.
Yes, it must be . Otherwise, why would she get married at such a young age? It must be because of Wen Nuan’s beauty that someone got greedy...
Wen Nuan was amused by Lin Xue: "No. Master, you have to promise me not to scream first."
"As long as it’s not true..." Lin Xue breathed a small sigh of relief, patting her almost racing heart. To keep from shouting, she even covered her own mouth with her hand.
Wen Nuan wanted to laugh even more, but couldn’t bring herself to do so.
She took a deep breath, finally uttering two words: "Leng Yan."
Lin Xue couldn’t control her mouth at all, and upon hearing the name, she instantly screamed. Realizing what she was doing, she forcefully covered her mouth again, only releasing it after fully digesting the fact, still looking at her incredulously: "Leng Yan of Leng Group? Does Young Master Tan know about this?"
No wonder the two of them have become so strange, unable to interact like they used to, appearing to be not even as close as ordinary friends.
"But how is this possible? Nuannuan, I remember Ji Wei bringing Young Master Leng to the party. Was that a deliberate challenge to you? Ah, Nuannuan, is Ji Wei the third party in your marriage?"
Finally, Lin Xue couldn’t help but scream out. Especially when she uttered the word "third party," her teeth ground together in anger.
Perhaps because she was already married, hearing those words made her feel disgusted, as if she had swallowed a dead fly.
She remembered seeing the news about Leng Yan and Ji Wei getting into a nanny car on the papers, making her even more furious.
"Leng Yan truly isn’t anything good, eating what’s in his bowl while eyeballing the pot, intentionally provoking you, I hate it!"
Lin Xue was straightforward. Witnessing her precious apprentice’s husband blatantly flirting with a celebrity in front of his wife made it impossible for her to remain calm.
"It’s not what you think, Master." Wen Nuan quickly said. As soon as she spoke, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
In fact, she had thought the same at the time.
She briefly explained to Lin Xue and glossed over the unnecessary details, finally asking Lin Xue to keep it confidential.
Regardless of whether Lin Xue could accept it, Wen Nuan felt somewhat relieved before going to work.
"Poor Young Master Tan, no wonder he has a sense of failure he’s never felt before."
Lin Xue couldn’t help but sigh, and Wen Nuan started the car, feeling a profound sense of guilt welling up inside her.
"Master, I plan to resign." Soon, after arriving at the company and parking the car, Wen Nuan and Lin Xue entered the elevator, lowering her head to reveal her plan.
"Are you really going to do this?"
She spoke just as the elevator doors were closing, but the doors reopened at the last moment, and Tan Qing slipped in.
Looking at Wen Nuan, his intense gaze held an undeniable sadness. His voice was deep, as if he were talking to himself, filled with an indescribable melancholy.
He was right; she would leave...
"Tan Qing." Wen Nuan looked at him, her voice suddenly choked with emotion.
"You guys talk, I’ll get out here." The atmosphere in the narrow elevator felt so eerie that Lin Xue couldn’t stand it. She quickly pressed the elevator door and swiftly stepped out.
