Actually, this man doesn't have much interest in women. He only has one hobby, which is antiques. I know that he's been looking for a blue and white porcelain. I think it's from the Song Dynasty. Coincidentally, my brother got one at an auction. I don't know if it's the one he's looking for. But Xinwan, my brother's popularity is only 30%, and he has a lot of things. Many of them are bought to coax women.
If you really need it, I can give it to you when the time comes. "
"How can that be?"
Xinwan was dumbfounded. This Li Ruoying wasn't stupid. She had ulterior motives, right?
Otherwise, why would she be so nice to her? She even gave her the blue and white porcelain to save her father? She didn't really think that a free lunch would fall from the sky.
"Miss Li, you've already helped me a lot. But this really won't do. I'll think of another way."
"Don't mention it."
Li Ruoying sighed softly and said with some annoyance, "I also know that you must think that I have ulterior motives. After all, I used to show off to you. Actually, Xinwan, I really didn't know that the necklace was for you. I only found out later."
Xinwan was tongue-tied. "Wh-what? What necklace? "
Li Ruoying took out a golden velvet box from her bag and handed it to Xinwan. The expression on her face was one of undisguised loneliness. It didn't seem fake. Even her voice was bitter. "It's this necklace. At first, I thought that Hanwoo was giving it to me. But later, I found out that he was giving it to you. Xinwan, your birthday is September 20th, right? There's a small card at the bottom of the box with the words' Happy Birthday 'written on it. The date is September 20th. Actually, I got this necklace from Hanwoo after the 20th. I thought he prepared it for me. "
"Actually, I don't want to hide it from you. I've always liked Hanwoo. I knew that you two were married, but I really thought that your marriage would end because you two had no feelings for each other. Later, I found out that maybe after you came back, Hanwoo gradually discovered your good points, so he wanted to give you a gift on your birthday. Maybe he wanted to confess to you. But after I found out, I really felt very uncomfortable. I felt like a thief. Although I, Li Ruoying, am nothing, I still have a backbone. If it's not mine, I don't want to snatch it. I really have no intention of interfering in your relationship. That's why I've been brooding over it for the past two days. I just wanted to find an opportunity to return this necklace to you and tell you about it. That was also the reason why I saved you in the alley that day. I'm not a good person, but I care about my face and dignity the most. I've helped you twice, so we're even now. If you're willing to treat me as a friend in the future, I'll welcome you. If you have a grudge in your heart, we can just be acquaintances at that time. "
Almost three hours later, Xinwan was still uneasy on the way back.
She had afternoon tea with Xiao Youran and briefly talked about Jiang Youyi. Then the two of them looked at each other, and then at the white piece of paper in the middle. The string of numbers on it seemed to emit a kind of magnetism all the time, which could not wait to suck her in.
Actually, she still didn't believe Li Ruoying. Just like Xiao Youran's conclusion at the end — regardless of whether it was true or not, a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a hen was definitely up to no good.
But reality was pressing in. Xinwan didn't dare to think about what would happen if something happened to her father. On second thought, Li Ruoying's last words were quite sincere. She even dared to admit that she liked Wen Han-woo to her face. She wouldn't really find someone to eat her up, right?
Moreover, what other ideas did she have now?
Xin Wan controlled the steering wheel with one hand and used her other hand to pick up the box from the dashboard. Her long fingers gently pressed on the clasp and the box opened with a click. The necklace inside was indeed the necklace that Li Ruoying had shown her previously. The birthday card had been moved to the top and there were four clear words on it. It was simple but at this moment, to her, it was enough to shake her heart — Happy Birthday.
Was this a present from Wen Han-woo?
On her birthday, she remembered that he had given her a present — a divorce agreement.
Xinwan closed the box with a headache. She shook her head and pushed this annoying matter to the back of her mind. Right now, she had more pressing matters to deal with. For the past two days, she hadn't even seen Xiao Yu. Originally, she had planned to go to his
Daughter's home to see him, but she was also worried that Tong Qing Meng would be alone at home.
With that thought, the car arrived at the entrance of Family Jiang. Xinwan looked from afar. Through the windshield, she saw a very familiar car parked not too far away. Her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively stepped on the brakes, but her gaze fell on the golden velvet box on the dashboard.
For some reason, her heart started to race again. Instinctively, she reached out to grab the necklace box and put it in the storage compartment beside her.
But after thinking about it, she felt that something wasn't right. She opened the storage compartment and took out the necklace box. She put it in her shirt pocket. She watched as the driver's door opened. A well-dressed man walked out. Xinwan took a deep breath, opened the door, and got out of the car.
During their last phone call, she had indeed lost her composure. Now that she suddenly saw Wen Han-woo, Xinwan's eyes flickered.
On the other hand, Wen Han-woo looked calm as usual. The man's handsome face didn't have much of an expression. His deep eyes stared at her without blinking as he sized her up from head to toe. He reached out to light a cigarette. After taking two puffs, he said lazily, "Why aren't you saying anything when you're looking at me? Don't you have anything to say to me? Where have you been all day? "
Since he had broken the deadlock, Xinwan naturally wouldn't continue to keep quiet.
Instead of answering, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Thinking about the time, she asked again, "Where's Xiao Yu?"
Wen Han-woo flicked the ash from his cigarette and didn't reply immediately. Xinwan wanted to look past him to see the car behind him, but the man's tall body was like a wall, blocking her way. Xinwan frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Han-woo took a step closer to her.
The man's familiar scent, mixed with a domineering smell of cigarettes, instantly wafted into her nose.
Xinwan's heart trembled. She didn't know that Wen Han-woo's scent had become so familiar to her. It was so familiar that she could recognize him as soon as he got close.
But how many days had they actually spent together?
What was it that had changed?
"Do you miss your son? Then do you miss me? "
— — Do you miss your son?
— — Then do you miss me? Do you miss me?
Xinwan didn't know if she had been knocked out by the smell of his cigarette or if she had been shocked by his words.
Wen Han-woo's long fingers, which were holding the cigarette, gently grasped Xinwan's chin and looked down at her with a burning gaze.
Xinwan was stunned. She didn't push him away immediately. Instead, she followed his gesture and slowly lifted her head. At that moment, she felt her waist heat up. There was a necklace box there. The necklace inside was a gift he had prepared for her.
She felt that she was really possessed. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this. She definitely wouldn't be like this.
At that moment, it was as if someone had pressed her pressure points. Wen Han-woo was right in front of her, but she couldn't move an inch. It was as if a curse had been chanted in her mind. She kept repeating the words "necklace", "birthday present", "Wen Han-woo", "do you miss me?"
"Wanwan, didn't I tell you before? You're making me very impulsive when you look at me like this. "
Wen Han-woo's thin lips suddenly came close to Xinwan's ear. His deep voice had a strong magnetic force that attracted Xinwan's heart. Her breathing became chaotic and she hurriedly snapped back to reality. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, Wen Han-woo's other hand grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace.
"Don't move."
How could Xinwan really not move? She instinctively struggled, but Wen Han-woo tightened his grip on her. He frowned and his deep voice was tinged with displeasure. "I told you not to move. Woman, why won't you listen at all?"
"Wen Han-woo." Xinwan's voice was a little weak. She was being forcefully held in his embrace and seemed to be slowly drained of energy.
"Don't move. Listen to me."
Wen Han-woo hugged her tightly, his large palm holding the back of her head. Xinwan couldn't see his expression, but she suddenly heard him say something strange. "At least let me feel it. Let me know if it's worth it."
Xinwan didn't know what he was talking about. What did he want to feel? What did he mean by 'worth it' or 'not worth it'?
But now he was hugging her like this and saying such things that could easily be misunderstood. Also, he had asked her such a question about a birthday present.
Xinwan was a rather inflexible person, but she definitely wasn't the kind of person who would keep her doubts to herself. What was her motive for bringing the necklace box out?
Her hand uncontrollably reached into her pocket, her five fingers clutching the box. She took a deep breath and mustered the strength to ask, "Wen Han-woo, are you interested in me? Do you like me? "
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze.
Actually, Xinwan didn't expect herself to ask such a forceful question. But after she asked it, the silence was like the sharpest knife, piercing straight into her heart.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds?
At this speed, her heartbeat slowed down by more than twice the speed of a knife.
Xinwan never knew that time could pass so slowly.
The man who was hugging her didn't respond. She tightened her grip on the necklace box in her pocket, but the uneasiness in her heart was growing.
She was a proud person. Growing up in a special family situation, she could not easily believe in love, nor could she easily believe in men. But at that moment, was she looking forward to something?
