Through the phone, Ye Wanwan heard a woman’s voice, Shen Yi’s voice, and equally, the sound of doors closing.
Although that woman had only just begun to speak with a call of "Director Shen", Ye Wanwan still easily guessed the woman’s intention.
For some reason, she didn’t feel angry but rather found herself feeling somewhat embarrassed, as though she had stumbled upon something she shouldn’t have seen.
Speaking up now seemed improper, just as abruptly ending the video call seemed wrong; she could only stare dumbly at her phone.
Shen Yi turned and walked back, and when he looked at his phone screen again, he saw Ye Wanwan’s stupefied face within it.
Shen Yi was slightly taken aback, somewhat unable to discern Ye Wanwan’s emotions at that moment.
Thinking of the woman who had knocked on the door, Shen Yi’s brow furrowed subconsciously, his voice tinged with displeasure, "That was probably arranged by the staff here."
Shen Yi thought to himself that facing such a situation, an explanation was definitely necessary, otherwise Wanwan, who was so sensitive, would surely be infuriated to death.
Ye Wanwan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. If it had been her from her previous life, she would probably have already started hysterically freaking out by now.
But the Ye Wanwan of today wasn’t the same insecure person from her last life. Faced with this situation, she instead felt somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan remained silent, Shen Yi worried she might overthink things and continued to explain, "I thought it was Assistant Chen just now, so I opened the door directly. This won’t happen again next time, don’t overthink it."
"No, no, no!" Ye Wanwan quickly shook her head, her words a bit incoherent, "I, I believe you, you’re definitely not that type of person! I trust you!"
Ye Wanwan declared with certainty, when actually in her previous life she was just foolish.
A person like Shen Yi, if he really had any ulterior motives, would never have gone through so much trouble to hide them from her!
Hearing Ye Wanwan say such things, Shen Yi finally breathed a little easier. However, with the conversation sidetracked, it seemed there was nothing left for Ye Wanwan to say, and after speaking a few more words with Shen Yi, she hurriedly ended the video call.
Shen Yi watched as the video call ended and the screen jumped back to the chat page, still somewhat worried at heart.
Even though Ye Wanwan had clearly stated her trust in him just now, and it seemed she wasn’t angry, Shen Yi still felt an inexplicable unease deep inside.
Shen Yi again reassured himself internally that it was just a minor issue, and since he had already explained it, she shouldn’t be angry.
Shen Yi set down the phone, went to the bathroom to quickly blow-dry his hair, and then lay down to rest.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the little incident before sleep, Shen Yi ended up having a rather strange dream.
In the dream, he saw Ye Wanwan and himself.
Ye Wanwan suspected him of cheating, and he was patiently explaining things to her.
Yet even though he had a myriad of ways to prove his innocence, Ye Wanwan still obstinately held her ground, firmly believing that he hadn’t cheated only because he hadn’t been caught yet.
Ye Wanwan, devoid of any reason, suspected all the women around him, thinking they all harbored ulterior motives toward him, hence she forbade him to have any contact with any female.
Even if he talked a bit more with someone for work-related matters, Ye Wanwan couldn’t tolerate it.
The dream’s conclusion was of Ye Wanwan, seemingly mad, smashing everything in the house that could be smashed. Standing amidst the wreckage, she cried out, "You belong to me! You can only love me and no one else!"
