"Canna..." Wen Yibai rubbed his knuckles, his lips touching hers, and called out the name of the dog she was gently stroking, as if this would bring him closer to her.
I never knew she liked dogs.
During their close school days, he naively harbored a secret crush on her, thinking they were familiar enough with each other, never expecting that she wouldn't even tell him about this one hobby.
So, she probably didn't even consider him a friend.
The man's fingernails dug into his flesh, and his clenched fist seemed to be trying his best to control something.
Xu Jianshen ignored the emotions of the man beside him, still smiling calmly as he spoke: "It's not her dog, no, it's still her dog. Isn't her husband's dog her dog? This dog is very smart. I've only seen it once or twice. It's kept in such a big estate, and there are several people just to take care of it."
"They look quite expensive, like they come from a wealthy family," Wen Yibai's assistant joked.
“A wealthy family…” Xu Jianshen’s lips curled into a smile, “That’s incredibly insulting. Be careful, the Murong family might come after you.”
"Just kidding, just kidding." Wen Yibai's assistant, unaware of the situation, could only awkwardly scratch his head.
"Murong family? What Murong family?" Wen Yibai asked. Wasn't she married a short-lived man who threatened the Xiang family?
"Ah, I let it slip, sorry, sorry." Xu Jianshen looked surprised and smiled apologetically. "I didn't say anything, and Young Master Wen didn't hear anything, OK?"
"Actor Xu, you..."
"Shh, take care, Mr. Wen. We won't see you off."
Xu Jianshen gestured for Wen Yibai to enter, and Wen Yibai withdrew the light from his eyes and slowly got into the car. It seemed that he couldn't get anything out of Xu Jianshen. Xu Jianshen was indeed Xu Jianshen; who could say how much of his astonishment was genuine and how much was just an act? But his words didn't seem to come out of nowhere.
The Murong family… In that instant, Wen Yibai immediately thought of Murong Xiao.
At the class reunion, he arrogantly and possessively took Xiang Jin away, even claiming she was his. Could it be...?
Wen Yibai's expression changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Xiang Yiling's number.
"She's getting a spa treatment. What's wrong, missing me?" Xiang Yiling's soft voice came through the phone.
What is the surname of the man your cousin Xiang Jin married?
"Why did you suddenly ask her? It's disgusting. I haven't had dinner yet, and now I've lost my appetite. You have to make it up to her." Xiang Yiling's soft, sticky voice penetrated to the bone, making one's heart tremble with sweetness.
Wen Yibai, however, was unconvinced: "Tell me, is that right?"
"Oh dear, didn't I tell you before when you asked me? Her surname is Feng, she's a short-lived, poor bastard, living in a dilapidated house in the countryside. I heard she's always hungry. What, you've taken a fancy to her? Let me tell you, Young Master Wen, don't get any ideas. Xiang Qi hates her. Be careful she doesn't cause you any trouble."
"What's your name?"
"What's your name?"
"Tell me, what's that man's name!"
The sudden growl startled Xiang Yiling, and she stammered, "Feng, Feng Jianian. Why are you being so fierce, you..."
The call ended.
Feng Jianian—the name wasn't hard to find. Although the Wen family didn't have the overwhelming power of the Murong family, they were still a noble family. Soon, he found all the information about this name, and staring at the ordinary yet vaguely familiar face in the file, his mind went blank for a moment.
After a while, he opened Murong Xiao's Weibo. The usually inactive Lord Xiao once posted a picture of that dog.
As if he had just thought of something, he opened another account.
Not long ago, Murong Xiao, who was embroiled in a scandal, announced the appearance of their boss's wife through Fengrong's official Weibo account. At the time, the figure flashed by and I didn't remember it.
really.
The girl wore a light blue dress, held a book, turned her face slightly to the side, her eyes were like stars, the smile on her lips was as warm as a spring breeze, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was faintly visible.
Who else could it be but Xiang Jin?
Oh.
The smile on Wen Yibai's lips gleamed with an unprecedented chill.
She actually married Murong Xiao.
She actually married Murong Xiao?!
Ha ha ha ha……
Although he was smiling, the chill emanating from him grew stronger. He turned around, swept the things off the table with one hand, and the cups shattered and fell to the ground. His right hand was accidentally cut by the glass, and warm blood quickly gushed out.
He clenched his fist and downed a glass of wine in one gulp.
His anger had not subsided, so he poured himself another glass.
The cycle repeated itself endlessly. He didn't know how much he had drunk. In his hazy state, he seemed to see the graceful figure of a young girl standing under the shade of a tree on the school's basketball court. The dappled shadows of the trees fell on her from above, making her skin appear even whiter and more alluring. She pursed her lips and said to him, "I'm sorry, Yibai, I have someone I like."
There's also the line: "His name is Murong Xiao."
This is the one sentence he has avoided for many years, one he dares not recall.
Because his hard-won courage to confess his feelings was utterly crushed by her words.
Murong Xiao—that was the first time he had ever heard that name.
At that time, the Murong family was not as powerful as it is now, and Murong Xiao was not the richest man. Later, when the incident at the class reunion happened, he only had doubts, but he did not connect the Murong Xiao he had a crush on with the richest man, Murong Xiao.
Unexpectedly... she married her first love.
Oh.
Why should I?!
He, Wen Yibai, loved her for so many years and received nothing in return, yet she got what she wanted?!
She's so filthy, so despicable, what right does she have to be worthy of Murong Xiao?!
