The unhappiness of a new marriage...
No honeymoon, no new husband...
Sitting in the yard, learning design on her own with a book. Her eyes grew tired, and the fragrant scent wafted to her pretty nose, causing Wen Nuan to slowly close her eyes.
A bitter sensation surged from her heart, quickly spreading to every cell in her body.
Leng Yan had been gone for a week.
On that day, after returning from the Wen Family’s house, he received a call halfway and hurriedly rushed to the United States. They said there was a serious problem with a batch of goods.
Since he left, he hadn’t called her once. In the middle of the night, quietly staring at the phone screen, her heart would painfully clench into a ball.
If there is no love in a marriage, she hoped they could at least respect each other. Yet, she couldn’t even have that.
"Young Madam, your phone is ringing."
The voice of the servant, Xiao Mi, sounded in her ear, and Wen Nuan opened her eyes, looking at the happily singing phone beside her, with a bittersweet smile.
She glanced at the number displayed, her brows slightly furrowed.
She had forgotten she was supposed to return clothes to Tan Qing today.
The silk fabric used for Tan Qing’s clothes was hard to come by; she had specially asked a friend overseas to get it for her. After a few days’ effort, it was finally made.
"Little Nuannuan, where do you live? I’ll come to get the clothes."
Tan Qing came out from the airport, attracting sidelong glances and screams from women with his ostentatious, wicked charm under his large sunglasses.
"Let’s meet somewhere, I’ll return them myself."
Wen Nuan automatically ignored his cheeky nickname for her and said gently.
He wanted to coax information out of her, wanting to know where she was. Yet, she wouldn’t fall for it. After returning the clothes, she’d sever all ties; she certainly wouldn’t let a man like him entangle her.
Tan Qing casually whistled, "Qingye Coffee, little Nuannuan, your brother will dress handsomely and wait for you there."
What a lunatic you are!
Biting her teeth in resentment, Wen Nuan thought angrily to herself, wanting to curse.
To hell with ’brother,’ shameless man, shame on you!
"Qing, who is little Nuannuan?"
The girl trailing behind Tan Qing frowned unhappily, "Where did you meet her?"
"Just like you, on the plane. Alright, miss, I’m heading home now; we’ll meet again if fate allows."
Tan Qing took his bag from the girl’s hand and blew her a kiss with his wide hand. Spotting the streamlined sports car already parked to the side with the driver, he strode into it without looking back.
That girl was just someone he met to kill time in economy class because he couldn’t get a first-class ticket. Now that he was off the plane, his interest had vanished.
Besides, how could she compare to little Nuannuan in being intriguing...
Just thinking about how she would freak out when he called her little Nuannuan made all the fatigue of the past few days dissipate.
"Mr. Tan, here are the clothes I just made, could you check if there are any issues?"
Wen Nuan arrived early at the café, and as soon as she saw Tan Qing walk in, she invited him to sit. She took out both garments for him to inspect, "Look, the style and fabric are exactly the same as the original."
"I’ve said it several times, why do you still address me so formally?"
Tan Qing said with a frown while picking up the clothes to inspect them.
"Then I’ll call you by your name, Tan Qing." Wen Nuan was truly afraid that in front of so many people, he would insist that she calls him "Qing," so she quickly preempted him.
"Alright then, at least it’s better than Mr. Tan."
Tan Qing smiled slightly and put the clothes away, "Not bad. However, you look quite young; are you still in school? If you are interested, I could introduce you to a company for an internship."
She actually wanted to attend school, but with her current achievements, even the best fashion schools domestically would only be a waste of her talent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone straight to study in France.
"If I want to start working, is there a company you could recommend me to?"
Wen Nuan asked with a smile, her clear eyes sparkling with anticipation.
There will be another update at 9 PM tonight
