On the way back, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
Ye Yun walked ahead.
Chen Zhenxing followed closely behind her, his face blank, as if he had lost his soul. He walked with his hands and feet in unison, completely unaware of which way he was going.
Liu Wan followed on the other side, her face flushed with embarrassment, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, completely oblivious to where she was going.
Both of them, like quails, kept their heads down and didn't utter a single word.
This is so incredibly awkward.
Ye Yun stopped walking, turned her head, and her eyes lingered on Chen Zhenxing and Liu Wan.
Liu Wan and Chen Zhenxing also stopped.
Chen Zhenxing was clearly still lost in thought, staring blankly at Ye Yun.
Liu Wan's face was flushed, and she urged Ye Yun with her eyes, "Why are you stopping? Hurry up and go! All I want now is to escape this damned world!"
Is there anything more embarrassing than her secretly confessing her feelings to someone and having the person in question overhear her?
That's all!
Not only was she overheard, but she also had to pretend nothing was wrong and go back to the factory with the person involved.
Now that she can see Chen Zhenxing whenever she looks up, the awkward feeling makes her want to disappear into the ground.
She never wants to come out again in this lifetime.
Liu Wan didn't understand why Ye Yun had stopped, and almost desperately tried to signal to her with her eyes.
However, Ye Yun smiled.
Liu Wan's expression tightened, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Ye Yun had a faint smile between her brows, and didn't give Liu Wan much of a look. Instead, she waved her hand in front of Chen Zhenxing and said, "Director Chen, snap out of it?"
Chen Zhenxing still didn't react.
Ever since he heard Liu Wan's words, he's been acting like this.
At that moment, he felt as if his brainstem had been ripped out; he stared blankly, mouth agape, eyes wide, at Liu Wan sitting down the slope.
Even after Liu Wan ran ashore, her face flushed with embarrassment, and pulled Ye Yun back, he just numbly followed their pace, clearly still reeling from the shock of hearing those words.
Look at how pathetic he is.
But then again, it makes sense. Liu Wan is such a beautiful and talented woman. Who wouldn't be confused if she suddenly became the object of affection for another beautiful woman like her?
"Director Chen—"
Ye Yun deliberately dragged out her voice.
Chen Zhenxing snapped back to reality and saw Ye Yun looking at him with great interest.
He was taken aback, then suddenly realized his lapse in composure and quickly replied, "Ah...yes, I'm here, I'm here..."
"..."
Oh yes, yes, you're here.
Ye Yun wasn't in a hurry to talk to him, and instead raised an eyebrow at Liu Wan beside her.
At this moment, Liu Wan's face was flushed with embarrassment. She was unhappy that she had suddenly stopped, and she glared at her with a mixture of anger and doubt.
Ye Yun scoffed softly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them. "Liu Wan, are you sure you don't want to ask Director Chen anything?"
Liu Wan was stunned for a moment.
Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head, saying, "What else is there to ask..."
She knew that with Wang Dongxiang back, there was nothing left for her, an outsider.
Ye Yun responded with an "oh".
That's really enlightened.
She looked at Chen Zhenxing and found that he had been looking at Liu Wan at some point.
It was probably Liu Wan who was speaking that made him glance at her unconsciously.
Because Liu Wan had her head down, he couldn't see her expression. He only saw a section of her swan-like neck that was exposed, which was white and slender. He was so frightened that his face flushed, and he quickly looked away.
"Actually, I'd like to try again..."
Liu Wan spoke again.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.
Liu Wan looked up at her and asked softly, "Ye Yun, what do you think..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
Ye Yun resolutely refused, turned around and hurriedly walked forward without looking back.
Chen Zhenxing and Wang Dongxiang are not divorced yet. If she says she supports Liu Wan, she will harm both Liu Wan and Chen Zhenxing's family. If she doesn't support her, she will hurt Liu Wan's feelings. No matter what she does, it's wrong.
So she chose not to get involved.
Liu Wan watched Ye Yun's decisive departure and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Secretary Liu..."
Chen Zhenxing's tentative voice came from the side, making Liu Wan blush again.
Liu Wan felt her face burning. She turned her head to look at Chen Zhenxing, but dared not meet his gaze. She quickly glanced at him and lowered her head. "Factory Director Chen..."
Then, both of them fell silent.
For quite a while.
"that……"
"that……"
The two spoke almost simultaneously, glanced at each other in surprise, and then stopped talking at the same time.
Finally, Chen Zhenxing stammered, "You...you go first."
Liu Wan bit her lip, clutching the hem of her clothes, and said, "Then...then I'll go first..."
"Okay, okay, you go first," Chen Zhenxing said, nervously straightening his clothes as if he were attending a very important meeting.
Ye Yun, who was listening intently from the front: "..."
It's really difficult for two people with stutters to speak.
"Director Chen, I want to know... what are your plans now that your wife is back?" Liu Wan asked, her head bowed, a blush creeping onto her cheeks as she spoke.
"Huh? This..." Chen Zhenxing seemed surprised by her directness. He paused for two seconds, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I... I haven't decided yet. I have to go home tonight and talk to her to see what she really means..."
"If she doesn't want to continue the relationship, are you still going to stay with her?" Liu Wan asked immediately.
Chen Zhenxing was stunned again.
This question was so difficult that he couldn't answer it right away. He stared blankly at Liu Wan for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
But this stare made Liu Wan panic.
Her face immediately paled, and she waved her hand, explaining, "Director Chen, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to break up your family. I... I just wanted to tell you..."
She was still a little shy, but after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and confessed, "Director Chen! I admire you. If you're not planning to stay with your wife, I'd like to ask you to consider me. If you're still with your wife... then... then you don't need to consider me! I'll be a good secretary at the factory and promise not to have any improper thoughts about you, and I will never cause you any trouble. Is that alright?"
Chen Zhenxing was stunned again.
Just like he was by the river, he stared blankly at Liu Wan, mouth slightly open, as if his brainstem had been ripped out.
Liu Wan also tilted her head slightly and stared at Chen Zhenxing. Her eyes, anxiously waiting for a reply, were also filled with a hint of inferiority, fear of being rejected. She looked at Chen Zhenxing with hope, hoping that he could give her an answer as soon as possible.
Chen Zhenxing opened his mouth, "Secretary Liu, I..."
"You little bitch!"
Before she could finish speaking, a menacing figure suddenly sprang out from behind a large tree by the roadside, rolled up its sleeves, and charged at Liu Wan with lightning speed, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
"You shameless slut! You dare to seduce someone else's husband in broad daylight! I'll beat you to death today!"
