Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Your home has been robbed!
Wen Yu quietly returned to the villa, lay back on the bed, and sent a WeChat message to Yan Qianqian to say thank you. Unlike her usual instant response, Yan Qianqian took a long time to reply to Wen Yu.
Qianwan Rich Man: You’re welcome! You helped me too!
Qianwanfuweng: But if it happens again, I might not dare to help... You don't even know what Brother Pan Xianchen looked like when he came back just now...
Qianwan Millionaire: Have you seen "Final Destination"?
Qianwanfuwu: I think if his eyes could cut people, I would have been cut by him three thousand times, which is more severe than Pinduoduo.
Wen Xiaoyu: ...
Wen Yu really didn't want to continue talking about Pan Xianchen. After a quick goodbye to Yan Qianqian, she turned off her phone and closed her eyes. She deliberately avoided thinking about what had just happened, or anything related to Pan Xianchen. But she still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed. It wasn't until after midnight that she began to feel sleepy.
Wen Yu fell into a light sleep. She began to dream one dream after another. In her dreams, there were her parents, Pan Xianchen, and Wen Yu. Their relationships were so disjointed that Wen Yu could barely distinguish who was who. But without exception, they all expressed one of two emotions: either ferocious or filled with grief.
She saw Pan Xianchen's eyes were red and his face was covered with tears. Turning back, she saw her mother's ferocious expression, holding a large knife and about to swing at her...
Wen Yu ran endlessly in her dream, exhausted and sweating. In the morning, she woke to a cold, icy feeling on her forehead and dampness in her hair. A night of sweat had left her sticky all over. She got up and went to the bathroom to shower.
Mom had already laid out breakfast on the table: porridge, omelets, steamed buns, and salted duck eggs. She seemed to have returned to normal, and with a smile on her face, she begged Wen Yu to eat more.
Wen Yu observed her mother's expression, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided.
Mom said, "Xiaoyu, I must have lost my mind yesterday and said a lot of nonsense..."
Wen Yu's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and his heart suddenly became nervous again.
"You, too, said some nonsense and didn't understand anything." Mom continued, "Now that I've had a good sleep, I'm awake. How about you, Xiaoyu? Are you awake?"
Wen Yu lowered his head and drank porridge, not daring to say much.
"Xiao Yu, listen to my mother's analysis: Although Wen Yu's family is not rich, they are definitely not poor. You won't have a hard life with him. Of course, their family is not that rich, so this is the best. Men with money will go out to have affairs, but Wen Yu won't do that."
“…”
"How can you say you don't want to marry him? A man like this is very suitable for you, you shouldn't miss him. Xiaoyu, don't say similar things again in the future, okay? Mom really hopes that you can find a good man to marry and live a happy life."
“…”
There was no other sound at the table except for her mother's chatter. Wen Yu just ate breakfast without saying anything else.
When Wen Yu went to work on Monday, she found Pan Xianchen's office empty. She didn't see Pan Xianchen coming to the cafeteria for lunch. Ye Yinuo quietly told her that Pan Xianchen had gone abroad with Yan Zhiwen for an inspection and study tour, and wouldn't be back for a while.
Wen Yu nodded and said, "I understand."
Ye Yinuo studied Wen Yu's expression carefully and asked, "Are you happy or unhappy?"
Wen Yu said, "What does it have to do with me if he goes abroad? Why should I be happy or unhappy?"
Ye Yinuo shook his head and said, "How dare you say such things? I am also a fan of your couple. If you don't give me any sweet things, why should I be a fan?"
Wen Yu interrupted Ye Yinuo's fantasy: "I may get married soon."
Ye Yinuo: "..."
After a full ten seconds of silence, Ye Yinuo digested the bad news. She wanted to say something, to persuade Wen Yu, to comfort her, but after moving her lips, she couldn't say anything.
Many days, Wen Yu went to work and left work with a blank expression on her face. Ye Yinuo didn't dare to joke in front of her. After work, Wen Yu drove home. She had no appetite at all. When she got home, she was too lazy to cook, and she didn't even feel like ordering takeout.
It was a hot day, so she went into the bathroom to take a shower. Afterwards, she realized she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. She stared blankly at the empty shelves, as if realizing how devastated she had become.
She had no choice but to wrap herself in a towel and go out. The central air conditioning cooled quickly, and in less than half an hour, the room was already slightly cool.
Wen Yu hadn't wiped the water off her body yet, and the cold wind gave her goose bumps. She had left her change of clothes on the sofa in the living room, so she walked over and prepared to change out of her bath towel.
At this moment, the door opened and Wen Yu walked in.
Wen Yu looked back and frantically wrapped the scattered bath towel back up. In her panic, she knocked over everything on the table with a loud bang.
Wen Yu watched her panic, his heart sneering. She was wary of him like a wolf, treating him even more distant than a stranger. To save her face, Wen Yu pretended not to notice and walked aside, placing the things he was carrying on the ground.
Wen Yu finally wrapped herself in a bath towel. Her face was still flushed from the hot bath, but her brows were furrowed. There was obvious surprise and confusion in her expression. "Why are you here?"
Wen Yu pointed to something on the ground and said, "The custom-made wedding dress has arrived. Do you want to open it and take a look?"
Wen Yu glanced at the large bag, picked up the clothes to change into, and said, "No need, I'll go get dressed."
She went into the bedroom, put on her clothes, and came out again. Wen Yu sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at his phone. Wen Yu looked at him leaning comfortably on the sofa, crossing his legs, and asked him, "When are you leaving?"
Wen Yu put away his phone with a smile and looked at her: "I just got here. Besides, have you figured out our relationship? Even if I sleep here tonight, it's okay, right?"
Wen Yu frowned and said nothing.
Wen Yu continued, "You're still angry about the funeral? It's not that serious, is it?" He looked away, his hand unconsciously twirling his phone, a sarcastic smile on his face as he said, "Or, are you thinking of someone else and can't wait to get rid of me?"
Wen Yu looked at him intently for a few seconds and said, "You heard it."
Wen Yu played dumb: "What?"
Wen Yu said, "That phone call."
Wen Yu twitched his lips, but didn't respond. His nonchalant attitude opened Wen Yu's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask him, "You don't have any reaction?"
"How do you want me to react?" Wen Yu asked back.
Scold her, hate her, break up with her. But he didn't scold her, hate her, or even ask about her. Tonight he even went out of his way to give her a wedding dress.
Wen Yu couldn't help but wonder: Is this really normal? Her relationship with Wen Yu was as fragile as silk and as complex as a spider web.
As if he could see through her thoughts, Wen Yu stood up, walked over to Wen Yu, and said, "What do you think marriage is? Is it the result of love or the bondage of interests? I think marriage is about finding a partner of equal strength, living the rest of your life together, and going through the ups and downs together. Marriage requires responsibility. Wen Yu, after we get married, I will be responsible for you and treat you well."
Wen Yu looked at his calm face and asked, "Have you never thought about finding someone you love to marry, to live your life together, and to face the ups and downs together?"
Wen Yu laughed and said, "Do you think this is easy? How many couples in the world marry because they love each other? And how many people get together because they are old enough and the time is right? Being able to tolerate and make peace with each other, and endure the daily necessities and trivialities, has already been found by many to be the most suitable model for marriage. I think people shouldn't be too greedy and demand too much."
Wen Yu: “…”
Wen Yu didn't stay overnight. He said goodbye to Wen Yu and left. Wen Yu sat back on the sofa and looked at the package of wedding dresses. She had no desire to open it and try it on. The dress was so shiny and beautiful. She thought back to Wen Yu's words, which seemed to make some sense, yet also seemed completely absurd. Tonight's meeting and conversation was a magical realist illusion that was too difficult to contemplate.
By late at night, Wen Yu still couldn't eat anything. She lay exhausted on the bed, thinking: Forget it, let it be.
Two days later, Wen Yu asked Peng Yan for leave before returning to work. Her mother and Wen Yu took turns calling her, informing her of the wedding banquet's time, location, and other details. Wen Yu asked her to take leave in advance and leave for vacation immediately after the wedding. He promised to treat Wen Yu well and fulfill his responsibilities as a good husband, so he arranged the honeymoon's location and schedule according to Wen Yu's preferences.
Peng Yan was surprised to hear this bombshell, and for a moment, she stared at Wen Yu in a daze. But she didn't ask any more questions. Soon, she would officially accept the transfer order and return to the branch office to continue her work. The people and things here would soon become her passing.
"Okay, I understand. Please submit your application on DingTalk and send a copy to your leader for approval," said Peng Yan.
Wen Yu nodded and returned to her workstation. She had combined her wedding leave, annual leave, and other miscellaneous leave to create a month's worth of time.
Ye Yinuo observed Wen Yu carefully and said reluctantly: "Wen Xiaoyu, are you okay? Why do I feel like you're almost dead?"
Wen Yu smiled, not knowing whether to comfort Ye Yinuo or herself: "I will not have to go to work for a month soon. I have been working like a beast of burden for others. I am almost exhausted."
Ye Yinuo said tentatively: "Mr. Pan hasn't returned yet. Do you want to wait a little longer? Wait until he returns..."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Why are you waiting for him? To be my flower girl?"
Ye Yinuo: "..."
This joke isn't funny at all! Ye Yinuo had a sad face and felt so sad. She wasn't this sad when her last brother in the entertainment industry officially announced his relationship. She really wanted to privately message Pan Xianchen on DingTalk: Your home has been stolen! Come back soon! If you don't come back, your CP with Wen Yu will be untied!
Five days later, Pan Xianchen returned to China.
