Chapter 347: Chapter 335: Wait Four Months, Everything Will Be Clear
In the photograph, Tan Qing and Wen Nuan are cuddled up together. Tan Qing is holding Wen Nuan tightly, as if he wants to pull her into his body to protect her.
Looking at the timestamp, Leng Yan closed his eyes, pain and bitterness welling up from his heart.
Did Wen Nuan finally accept Tan Qing after she broke up with him, wanting to completely give up on him?
She put him on the blacklist, didn’t answer his calls, and ignored his messages. She really didn’t want him anymore.
How could this be!
He loved her so much, and painstakingly sought out evidence to prove that the child wasn’t his. He had been desperately hoping she would change her mind, yet she answered him like this.
Leng Yan’s fingers clenched into a fist beneath the table, staring intently at the photograph; a trace of distress and despair etched between his brows.
"Yan." Ji Wei called out cautiously, noticing the anger displayed on his profile, feeling secretly delighted: "Wen Nuan and Tan Qing came to City E on a business trip. This photo was inadvertently taken by Xiao Liu at the City E airport."
"City E?" Leng Yan’s eyes flashed with shock: "Are you saying Wen Nuan is in City E?"
"She should have returned by now, after all it was just a business trip, how long could she stay?"
Ji Wei said dismissively, observing Leng Yan’s expression, she asked aggrieved: "Yan, are you still thinking about her?"
"How could I?" Leng Yan hesitated for a second, then returned the camera to Ji Wei, his handsome face no longer showing anger but replaced with a gentle demeanor: "I just didn’t expect she would be with Tan Qing so soon."
"The two of them have always had an ambiguous relationship."
Xiao Liu couldn’t help but interrupt: "When Sister Ji asked Lin Xue to design the clothes, we could see it. Tan Qing always called her Nuannuan, and it sounded so affectionate."
Ji Wei quickly scolded her: "Don’t talk nonsense!"
"It’s true, I heard it with my own ears, Sister Ji, haven’t you seen it too?" Xiao Liu caught the appreciation in Ji Wei’s eyes, smiled slightly, continuing to sow discord.
Ji Wei had said that the more effective the discord, the more rewards she would give.
Leng Yan’s fingers tightened more and more, feeling as if there was a thorn in his heart, deeply embedded there. Watching Ji Wei as he tried hard to put on a smile: "Let’s rest for a while, it’ll be midnight when we get back to City N, I’m afraid you’ll be exhausted."
"Hmm."
Ji Wei smiled gently, closed her eyes, covering up the slyness in them completely.
The night was dark and thick. Leng Yan stared straight into the distance, unable to feel a trace of sleepiness.
Wen Nuan accepted Tan Qing so quickly, he couldn’t accept it, he found it hard to believe it was real.
Ji Wei had said Wen Nuan returned, but in fact, she hadn’t. Wen Qingyan said Wen Nuan worked at the MT branch office, so she must be working at the City E branch office now.
Staring at the night that kept retreating outside the window, Leng Yan gritted his teeth quietly.
He would go find Wen Nuan to get the truth, but not now. The longer the night, the more dreams—he feared Ji Wei would grow suspicious, that’s why he was in such a hurry to bring her back. Otherwise, he really wanted to find her now and hear her personally say that the photograph wasn’t what he saw.
"Sister Ping’s cooking is really good, isn’t it, Sister Ji?"
In the living room, Xiao Liu handed Ji Wei a glass of freshly squeezed juice, noticing she was staring through the big glass window at the kitchen, smiling with admiration: "Young Master Leng treats Sister Ji really well, specially bringing Sister Ping here to cook."
Ji Wei’s grip on the juice tightened slightly, as she glanced back at Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, do you really think he treats me well?"
"You mean Young Master Leng?" Xiao Liu was slightly surprised.
A trace of self-mockery crossed Ji Wei’s beautiful eyes: "Who else would I hope treats me well besides him?"
Right now, her thoughts were entirely on him, she only cared if he treated her well. How others treated her didn’t matter at all.
"Does Sister Ji have any doubts? I think Young Master Leng really treats you well. See, he invited Sister Ping to cook for you, he even comes here every day, and he buys you anything you say you want to eat." Xiao Liu furrowed her brows, thought for a moment before answering. How could he not be good, Young Master Leng spoke so gently every time.
"Yes, he does everything well." Ji Wei smiled slightly, but couldn’t hide the bitterness in her voice: "But he never stays overnight here."
She took a sip of juice: "He’s so good it makes me feel unfamiliar, feel so far away from me."
Does he know, how much she wishes that when she opens her eyes in the morning, he would be by her side? But it’s been several days since he’s come back, and every time she brought up the idea of him staying, he always had a reasonable excuse to refuse.
