Chapter 443 Substitute

In He Tingchen's heart, he and Lin Rushang have been through ups and downs together. Although they were in a contractual relationship before, that was just a small trick for him to keep her by his side.

Fortunately, in the end, the two of them were in sync, so he no longer needed to rack his brains to think of other ways to keep her by his side.

When Master Li first mentioned this, He Tingchen was unsure, but he didn't expect her to refuse so bluntly.

He Tingchen suddenly felt as if there was a ball of cotton blocking his heart.

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Lin Rushuang also felt it, and she quickly spoke up to ease the awkward situation.

"Master Li, you should try this pastry first. I usually eat it and it's pretty good."

"Oh, okay, okay." Master Li took the cake and stole a glance at He Tingchen. He found that although he didn't look obviously gloomy, he could feel that he had been affected.

Master Li sighed in his heart, it seems that the road to pursuing his wife is long and he is still a little short of the goal.

However, even though he knew countless people, he couldn't guess what Lin Rushuang was thinking. Even if she said she didn't like him, he could feel that Lin Rushuang liked He Tingchen.

It is unknown what she is still hesitating about.

…

After Li Wenyuan left the hospital, he went straight to the bar with his friends.

Su Lingdong was sitting on the sofa, playing with his mobile phone while sending a message to Su Lingdong.

"Why haven't you come over yet? He's already drunk three bottles of the strongest liquor."

Zhang Nan: [Don't rush me, I'm already at the door.]

At first, Su Lingdong was sitting there alone watching Li Wenyuan drink, but later there were three people watching Li Wenyuan drink.

Several people looked heavy-faced.

"I said, what's wrong with him? I feel something is wrong."

"You ask me how I would know. Just look at the situation. Isn't it obvious? They're probably trapped by love."

Zhang Nan analyzed.

Su Lingdong: "Then who is trapped in love? Could it be Jiang Yuyan?"

"What does it have to do with Jiang Yuyan? You grew up with him, and yet you don't understand this. It's clear that between him and Jiang Yuyan, he's determined to divorce her."

"Jiang Yuyan came to my house a few days ago and asked me to persuade A Yuan. She didn't want to divorce him."

Shen Ci's slender fingers twirled the wine glass in his hand: "Why don't you suspect that it's related to Lin Rushuang."

Su Lingdong and Zhang Nan were stunned shortly afterwards.

"No, Lin Rushuang happened many years ago. Didn't he divorce Lin Rushuang because he wanted to get back together with Jiang Yuyan?"

"Now he realizes that Lin Rushuang is the woman he loves the most?"

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he felt speechless and subconsciously looked at Li Wenyuan.

"Li Wenyuan, if you really think so, I'm speechless. You're such a scumbag, you're beyond measure."

Su Lingdong also quickly agreed, "That's right. Back then, Lin Rushuang was devoted to you, but you refused and insisted on having an affair with Jiang Yuyan. She was generous enough to let you go and leave the house. Now you want to get back together with her? It's really unacceptable of you."

After Li Wenyuan drank a few bottles of wine, his handsome features were already a little tipsy.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Lin Rushuang and my uncle are in love now. They weren't together before because our old man didn't agree. But I don't know what happened recently, he actually agreed to let them get married."

Su Lingdong and Zhang Nan immediately understood.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you suddenly came out to drink alone. It turns out it's because Lin Rushuang is going to be your aunt soon."

Shen Ci sneered: "If that's the case, then it's really fucked up. I guess it's only written like this in novels. Your ex-wife is about to become your aunt. It sounds a bit..."

Su Lingdong held his forehead and said, "That's really hard to say. You know your uncle, he hasn't been in a relationship for many years. Maybe he's just waiting for Lin Rushuang."

"I heard a little gossip before. I heard that your uncle knew Lin Rushuang a long time ago, and he has some connection with Lin Rushuang's mother."

Su Lingdong has always been a playboy and never stays in any relationship, he persuaded Li Wenyuan.

"A Yuan, I advise you not to be obsessed with Lin Rushuang anymore. How about this, you find someone new. The best way to forget your ex is to quickly find a replacement."

Li Wenyuan couldn't care less now. He just knew that if he continued like this, he would be very uncomfortable.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Su Lingdong snapped his fingers, and immediately someone came over with several girls.

Each of them has a standard beautiful look and stands in a row.

"How's it going? Isn't it great?"

Li Wenyuan didn't feel anything when he first saw the first few, but when he saw one of the cold and aloof women, Li Wenyuan's gaze was completely fixed on her.

The girl was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, with her long hair loosely tied behind her head, revealing her slender neck. There was a bit of nonchalant distance in her eyes, like a mint growing in the corner. Although she was in a noisy bar, she had a layer of coolness.

Li Wenyuan's fingers unconsciously stroked the cold wall of the wine glass, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Su Lingdong was sharp-eyed and immediately nudged his arm. "You like it? I had to work hard to 'borrow' this from a friend's gallery. His name is Wen Yan, and he studies oil painting. He doesn't usually like to come to places like this, so I had to put in a lot of effort to get him here."

Wen Yan didn't seem to care much about the eyes around him. He just stood there quietly, touching the strap of his canvas bag lightly with his fingertips, as if to confirm that something was still there.

Li Wenyuan suddenly stood up, walked towards her with a somewhat unsteady step, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come with me."

He didn't wait for Wen Yan's response and walked straight to the booth in the corner of the bar. Su Lingdong and Zhang Nan exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of "there's a chance" in the other's eyes. However, Chen Ci slowly swirled his glass, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

The contours of Wen Yan's eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to those of Lin Rushang when she first met Li Wenyuan, clean and a little stubborn and cold.

Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still followed Li Wenyuan to the booth. After Li Wenyuan sat down, he pushed the unopened bottle of ice water in front of him to her and asked, "Can you drink?"

Wen Yan shook his head and said softly, "Not really."

"Then drink some water." Li Wenyuan stared at her, his gaze seemingly looking through her to see another person. "Your name is Wen Yan?"

"Um."

"Painter?"

"Yeah." Wen Yan's response remained concise, but his eyes didn't evade him. Instead, he looked back at him calmly, "Mr. Li, do you want me to drink with you, or look at paintings?"
