Leaning against the wall of the bathroom, Wu Hao fished out the ring he had used to propose to Xu Wennuan on the field of A High School. He stared at it in a daze for a long time until his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He fished it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was his mother. Wu Hao composed himself and answered the call. "Mom."
"Xiao Hao, it's Mom. I'm calling to tell you that Xu Wennuan's parents just came over and returned all the betrothal gifts that you gave her, including the one million dollars …" Xu Wennuan's voice trailed off as she spoke.
Wu Hao's face was as calm as still water as he leaned against the wall, as if he hadn't heard his mother's words.
His mother seemed to be sad as well. She sighed and said faintly, "I really like Nuannuan. You guys have been together for so many years. How could you just break up like that? Now that you've returned the betrothal gifts, it's completely over …"
Nothing at all … These few words were like a stick hitting Wu Hao's head hard. His whole body trembled, as if he was panicking about something, and he abruptly hung up the phone.
That's my Nuannuan, the Nuannuan I love. How can I have nothing to do with her just like that?
Our relationship has already been settled for a few months, so why can't I accept it?
Wu Hao closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a few times before he straightened up and walked out of the bathroom. He stood in front of the sink and carefully washed his hands before pulling out a tissue to dry them. He then turned around and left the bathroom. He had only taken two steps when he saw Xu Wennuan walking toward him, and his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Xu Wennuan also saw him, and the melodious sound of her high heels disappeared as she walked.
They stood about 15 feet apart and stared at each other for a long time before Wu Hao walked up to Xu Wennuan. "I just received a call from my mother. She said that your parents just sent the betrothal gifts …"
"Yes." After receiving the check from him the previous afternoon, she had gone to the bank and transferred the money into her bank card. She had then returned home and handed it to her parents so that they could visit the Wu residence that day.
Xu Wennuan's straightforward admission left Wu Hao at a loss for words.
The two of them stood there quietly for a long time before Wu Hao finally shifted his gaze away and pointed at the wedding hall behind Xu Wennuan with his chin. "I'll head over first."
"Yeah." Xu Wennuan smiled faintly and moved to the side to make way for him.
Wu Hao paused on the spot for a few seconds before he lifted his feet and left.
Xu Wennuan waited until he was some distance away before she turned around and glanced at Wu Hao's back before she strode toward the restroom in her high heels.
Lu Bancheng stood in the banquet hall until she disappeared through the door of the restroom. He had witnessed the scene where Qin Zhi 'ai and Qin Zhi' ai had bumped into each other. Holding a glass of wine, he smiled and continued to accompany Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi 'ai as they toasted table by table.
After toasting a few tables, Lu Bancheng asked Xiaowang to take his place for a while and walked to the washroom.
He didn't enter the restroom. Instead, he leaned against the wall opposite the restroom and waited for about a minute before he saw Xu Wennuan walk out.
