Chapter 65 Chapter 65 We Won't Be Together

After hearing what Mao Xinling said, Yu Wan fell into deep thought. Judging from the time, she entered this novel just after that high fever.

Because the remaining memories in his mind were incomplete, Yu Wan always thought it was because he traveled through a book. After all, no one who traveled through a book could completely inherit the original owner's consciousness.

When Yu Wan deduced that she was the original owner, the point she didn't understand changed from why she was traveling through the book to why she lost her memory.

Yu Wan carefully read the diary she found in the tin box in the orphanage.

The contents of the diary were quite simple, recording what she ate and did every day, just like writing a daily account. It also recorded the various games she and Lu Sui played. Words that she couldn't write were replaced with pinyin. It was completely a child's diary and had little reference value. So Yu Wan carefully packed up the rest of the things in it, along with the diary, in a wooden box.

If amnesia is a sequelae of a high fever, then what about the novel?

Especially when Mao Xinling mentioned her feverish ravings, was the phrase "she didn't want it" referring to the novel's plot? Was the high fever and amnesia a backlash for her refusal to follow the novel's plot?

But why would she refuse? Considering the importance of her role in the novel, is she just a small cannon fodder, or... will the plot of the protagonist involve and affect her?

Then a new problem arises. Since the plot of the novel will affect her, she should remember and stay away from the characters in the plot, rather than forgetting everything and treating herself as a person who has traveled through the book, re-establishing a relationship with the protagonist with a bystander's mentality.

Was it God's invisible hand that was manipulating her? Manipulating her, who had almost lost control after learning the plot of the novel?

Mao Xinling didn't interrupt Yu Wan's thoughts. She waited until Yu Wan was out of her thoughts before continuing with the next topic: "Yu Wan, when I was communicating with Lawyer Gao, I asked him how much the consulting fee was. He told me that the fee had already been paid by Mr. Fu and I didn't need to pay. But I know Mr. Fu is your boss. If I took it for granted, it would definitely be difficult for you. Can you help me ask and make sure that the legal fees are paid in full? Otherwise, I would feel guilty."

Yu Wan recalled the glance Fu Zhiyao gave her when he left, and came back to her senses before responding, "...Yeah."

Although Mao Xinling had never seen Mr. Fu in person, everyone had heard of the name Fu Group. If Fu Zhiyao had not valued privacy, lived a low-key life, and rarely appeared in public, the entertainment gossip about his appearance and private life would definitely be more exciting and eye-catching than the cooperation on a project worth over 100 million yuan.

The boss of a large group who is busy with all kinds of affairs and makes money by the second would come in person late at night to deal with trouble for a friend of an employee he is not familiar with. Mao Xinling feels that Mr. Fu has feelings for Yu Wan that go beyond the normal relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Even if it is a secretary, even if it is a secretary who can make great contributions to the company, such a small matter can at most be handled by other secretaries or trusted supervisors. Why bother to do it in person?

He was also quite tactful and did not meet with her. He only let the lawyer help her analyze the matter from a professional perspective and did not interfere or give any instructions. After the matter was over, he considerately arranged for a driver to take the two of them home.

A boss like this can be on the list of the top ten bosses that moved China.

Mao Xinling asked Yu Wan bluntly, "Mr. Fu seems to be interested in you. Even I, an outsider, have noticed it. What do you think, Yu Wan?"

Fu Zhiyao was interested in her. Before today, Yu Wan would never have believed this statement. But tonight, she saw Fu Zhiyao rushing over, handling everything properly, and when he finally left, he paused for a moment and looked back at her.

Yu Wan couldn't deny it—perhaps Fu Zhiyao did like her a little.

She was not a fool who had no idea about love. Since her birthday, she had vaguely sensed that Fu Zhiyao was different and special to her.

This kind of special care may seem like only 10% care to others, but for Fu Zhiyao, who never puts love first in his life, this 10% is probably 100%.

Of course, Yu Wan was moved by Fu Zhiyao's promotion and guidance, and by Fu Zhiyao's appreciation and encouragement, but before she could fully appreciate it, Fu Zhiyao's indifference came first, like pouring a basin of water on burning red charcoal. After a sizzling sound, only a wisp of gray smoke remained.

During the period when their relationship was cooling down, Yu Wan would lie awake at night and think carefully about their family backgrounds and personalities.

Being well-matched is a prerequisite for modern people to pursue true love.

She and Fu Zhiyao, one is worth hundreds of billions and has a strong family background, the other grew up in an orphanage and has a savings of 260,000, which is just enough to buy two large flat tiles in Haishi. How arrogant and rampant does she have to be to actively pursue Fu Zhiyao?

This is the reality gap.

On the other hand, she and Fu Zhiyao have different personalities. Although Fu Zhiyao always acts arrogant and noble, but if you look closely at Fu Zhiyao's family, you can find that he is a naughty child who grew up in a honey pot.

Before Fu Xuan'an was born, Fu Zhiyao enjoyed such pampering for nearly twenty-two years. He received too much love, so how could he care about her love and care.

Even if they care, it is just a false paranoia of a child who didn't get a toy. After a long time, they won't even remember what the toy looks like.

Fu Zhiyao has a domineering and strong side to his character. He is used to being superior and being indulged. He is willing to use cold violence. She tried to communicate but was still ignored.

Of course, Yu Wan could accept Fu Zhiyao's awkward love, but after falling in love, after being together, there were so many things to consider...

She doesn't want her emotions to be controlled by her partner, and she doesn't want to dream of Cinderella and indulge in the illusory and fragile bubble. She just wants to work hard to make money and settle down in the sea city. That way, she may be more confident.

And the most important point is that she doesn't think Fu Zhiyao really likes her. Rather than liking her, Yu Wan would rather call it curiosity, because Fu Zhiyao has never seen someone as poor as her, a fool like her who is still determined to work hard for the company even after being scolded by the boss, a fool who is short of money.

It was at this moment that Yu Wan remembered what Yu Jintong said, "Let Fu Zhiyao suffer a little bit in love."

It doesn't have to be interpreted as her hindering Fu Zhiyao's pursuit of love, it can also be understood as her making Fu Zhiyao suffer in love.

How could she make Fu Zhiyao suffer the pain of love and reject his confession?

Fu Zhiyao was such an arrogant person that even his words of concern when they met would be met with a scolding, so it was unlikely that he would confess his feelings to her.

She confessed to Fu Zhiyao but was rejected, and confessed to him but was rejected again... This happened three times, and in the end, she got a reserved and noble "hmm" from Fu Zhiyao, which was pretty good.

The faint light from the street lamps in the residential building came in through the window, dim and blurring the boundaries of all objects in the room. After a long time, when Mao Xinling was half asleep and half awake, he heard Yu Wan's hoarse answer.

"We won't be together. The gap between us is too big."

-

On the other side, Fu Zhiyao did not return to Huanxisha and asked the driver to take him back to the old house.

The villa was not empty because grandma and Fu Xuan were there. The house was full of traces of their lives. An orange plate with a kitten playing with a ball of yarn had been placed on the antique display cabinet at the entrance. It was glazed and shone delicately under the light. Fu Xuan also had a childish note on it.

There were a few big words on it: Don't move! (Especially Fu Zhiyao!)

Out of intuition, Fu Zhiyao took the plate, turned it over, stared, and saw the words at the bottom: To Fu Xuan, be happy every day!

A pink heart was drawn after this sentence.

If I'm not mistaken, it should have been given by Yu Wan, and the colorful polka dot pen holder on Yu Wan's workstation that doesn't fit in with the surroundings is probably her work, just like this plate.

The word '呀' is misspelled as '鸭'. Is it an obvious low-level typo, or is it a popular term among young people?

He turned 29 on his birthday this year, and Yu Wan turned 23 on her birthday this year. The age difference between them is six years. Is that a big age difference?

Rounding up, he's about five years old, not too old.

Fu Zhiyao put the plate back. As for the piece of paper, he turned it over before going upstairs.

Ma Yinfang got up to go to the bathroom at night and went to Fu Xuan'an's room to see if she had covered herself with the quilt.

When they arrived at Fu Xuan'an's room, they saw that the child had kicked the quilt aside and was lying on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. Ma Yinfang shook her head helplessly and covered her with the quilt. Fu Xuan'an turned over, smacked her lips unconsciously, and laughed.

Ma Yinfang patted Fu Xu'an's butt twice and asked with a smile, "What sweet dream are you having?"

Fu Xuan in the dream naturally would not give an answer.

After touching Fu Xuan'an's hands and feet to confirm that the child was not cold, Ma Yinfang quietly closed the door and left. Just as she was about to return to her room, she was suddenly startled when she saw the dark shadow by the balcony.

"Zhi Yao?" Ma Yinfang asked uncertainly.

The villa had security measures in place, so Ma Yinfang did not suspect that the intruder was a thief. Looking at the figure of the shadow, it was obviously her grandson who had been busy with work and had not been home for more than half a month.

Fu Zhiyao turned around and said in a low voice: "Yes, grandma."

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Ma Yinfang walked over and, with the help of the wall lamp outside the balcony, she could clearly see the expression on Fu Zhiyao's face. "You've been drinking, are you worried about something?"

Fu Zhiyao looked at her: "Grandma, aren't you asleep too?"

Ma Yinfang smiled: "I'm old, I don't get enough sleep, I can't sleep, do you want to talk to me about it?"

Fu Zhiyao didn't say anything.

It was true that he was attending a drinking party today, and it was a drinking party to cancel his engagement with Yu Jintong. However, apart from the toast he and Yu Jintong exchanged when announcing the news, he did not drink anything else.

Because the banquet was halfway through, he heard Secretary Cai's inner thoughts when she came to ask for leave, and knew that Yu Wan was taken to the police station for assaulting someone.

He threw all the talk about keeping a distance from Yu Wan and reducing the number of meetings with Yu Wan out of his mind. The so-called rationality and the so-called best choice became a bunch of bullshit.

Fu Zhiyao was angry. Angry that Yu Wan couldn't even begin to weigh the pros and cons. Didn't she know what would happen if she rushed in alone? Even though he knew Yu Wan was safe, even though he knew she wasn't injured, Fu Zhiyao couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario, until he saw Yu Wan standing right in front of him.

Doesn’t Fu Zhiyao regret the angry words he said? He regrets it, but he doesn’t know how to say it.

That's why he couldn't help but turn around and look at Yu Wan when he left.

Fu Zhiyao didn't have the habit of drinking to vent his emotions. Drinking could indeed numb his emotions and solve temporary troubles and worries, but it couldn't fundamentally solve the problem. So he didn't drink. He wanted to think more soberly and rationally.

He likes Yu Wan.

What he should do.

But how can I be sober and rational when I like this thing?
