But before she could speak, she continued: "Three years ago, I had an intimate boyfriend. On my birthday, I saw a crystal bear I really liked in the Swarovski Crystal Store. However, our financial situation was limited, and we couldn’t afford the genuine one. For me, he went to many stores and bought a replica to give me..."
"The only difference between that crystal bear and this one is, if you look at it under the light, you’ll find there’s a mystery on the base. The initials of both our names were engraved on it; he specifically found someone to do it."
Ji Wei spoke to herself, and Wen Nuan’s heart shook, sinking completely to the bottom.
She had once looked at it carefully under the light, and there were these four letters on the bottom. She had always been unable to understand what they meant, she later knew he was called Leng Yan, so she could associate LY with his name. But as for JW, she didn’t understand and didn’t think further about it.
JW... Her heart couldn’t help but give a bitter smile: Ji Wei—JW, huh!
No wonder she felt uneasy, no wonder Tong Xi said Ji Wei wouldn’t take the initiative to kiss a man, yet she kissed Leng Yan, no wonder elder brother Leng Ye called Leng Yan after Ji Wei got drunk...
"Did you break up later?"
Looking into Ji Wei’s eyes, Wen Nuan’s voice was as light as a feather.
"Yes, I left because of something, but honestly, I’ve never forgotten him."
"And what about him?" Wen Nuan couldn’t help but ask again, her heart trembling.
"I think he might hate me, you see, it was I who proposed the breakup back then. Indeed, seeing that object brings back the person, seeing this today made me involuntarily think of him." Ji Wei said with a bitter smile, handing the crystal bear back to Wen Nuan:
"I’m sorry, Miss Wen, I just saw this little bear looking so much like mine, that’s why I told you so much irrelevant stuff, you don’t mind, do you?"
"Not at all." Wen Nuan took it, forcing a smile: "I’m going to find Tong Xi."
"Yes, I still need to trouble you about the dress with Designer Lin." Ji Wei nodded, a complex look flickering in her pupils.
To prevent Tong Xi from detecting anything, after dinner, Wen Nuan rode in Leng Yan’s car back home.
As the car merged into the traffic, looking at the neon lights outside, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but reach for the crystal bear again.
Was Ji Wei hinting at something with her words today? She must have found out that she is Leng Yan’s wife, right?
"Is something on your mind?"
Leng Yan glanced at her, asked flatly.
"Can you stop at the square up ahead, Leng Yan, I want to talk to you." Wen Nuan mustered all her courage to ask him, her eyes glistening with too many complex emotions.
"Okay." Leng Yan’s unruffled appearance made Wen Nuan somewhat surprised.
Did he know what she wanted to talk to him about?
It was already early summer, and there were quite a few tourists out playing in the square. After Leng Yan parked the car, he walked straight ahead, and Wen Nuan followed behind him, took two steps forward, but suddenly stopped, biting her lip as her foot twisted painfully.
"What’s wrong?" He furrowed his brow: "You were the one who said you wanted to talk, backing out now?"
"My foot..." She grimaced in pain, gritted her teeth trying to catch up, but suddenly saw him crouch down.
"Get on!" A deep voice called out.
Wen Nuan froze for a second, her nose tingling almost to tears, and she leaned onto his shoulder.
Today was the second time he carried her. The first time was three years ago...
"Have you ever carried a girl before?" Lying on his shoulder, Wen Nuan tentatively asked.
She hoped he would remember her, remember her from three years ago.
