"Also, I met Uncle Xu Jie. I learned some of the stories between you two from him. It may not be the whole story, but it sounded like there were some regrets between you."
"I don't know if you ever blamed him for leaving without saying goodbye. In fact, he was secretly carrying out missions all those years. The letter you wrote to him after giving birth to Wenyan was sent to his home back then."
"It's just a pity that he has a good-for-nothing friend who is greedy for money. That scumbag saw the money you sent and secretly opened the letter, and never returned it to him. It wasn't until a few days ago that this old story came to light again."
"Also, he was severely burned in an explosion while on a mission. But luckily, the police caught the bad guys and he was successfully rescued."
"But unfortunately, he was disfigured. His face is completely unrecognizable. If I hadn't seen the photo of you two that he treasured in his pocket watch, I wouldn't have known that Wen Yan and he looked so alike. He was so handsome when he was young. Auntie, you have such good taste. If only you hadn't left so early. No, I should say, if only you two hadn't separated back then."
"But time can't be turned back, and all of this has already happened. Besides coming to see you today, there's something else I'm unsure about. That is, I don't know how to handle my relationship with him. If it were Wen Yan, what would she do?"
At this point, Wen Yan took a deep breath: "When I first came into this world, I would deliberately try to separate myself from the original Wen Yan. But later I gradually realized that I am actually her now, and her in the past is also a part of me now."
"Okay, after saying all this, I still don't seem to know what to do. Auntie, no, I should call you Mama Wen. Mama Wen, if you find Wen Yan over there, if you're willing to give me some guidance in this matter, please appear in my dream, okay?"
"I'll come see you again when I have time. Oh, by the way, I promised Uncle Xu that if I find your resting place, I'll tell him the address, and he might come to see you soon. I'm leaving now."
Wen Yan took out a wet wipe from her bag and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone before standing up.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Jingxiu below the steps.
Shen Jingxiu happened to be looking at her as well.
His gaze was deep and resolute, as if he had been standing there motionless the whole time.
If Wen Yan had felt a little hesitant and wavering just now, she suddenly felt safe.
She waved to Shen Jingxiu, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, and a smile returned to her face.
Wen Yan walked quickly down the stairs, and Shen Jingxiu stretched out his hand several steps away.
"Slow down, watch your step, don't rush."
Wen Yan shrank her neck: "It's too cold, I want to get back to the car quickly."
"Then you wait here for me, I'll go and drive the car over."
"No need for that, I can walk that distance myself. I'm just cold, not frozen stiff, brother."
Shen Jingxiu chuckled lightly, but his pace quickened imperceptibly.
The car was never turned off, and once she got in, Wen Yan immediately came back to life.
"It's so warm, and I'm hungry. Are you hungry? How about we find somewhere to eat later?"
Shen Jingxiu raised his wrist and glanced at the time on the watch face; it was already past three in the afternoon.
The cemetery is in the suburbs, and it will probably be past four o'clock by the time we get to a place with a restaurant, which will be just in time for us to have breakfast or dinner.
"Okay. Let's eat first, then I'll have the driver come and pick you up to go home."
"Have the driver pick me up and take me home? What about you?" Wen Yan asked, puzzled. She looked at Shen Jingxiu curiously, "Aren't you coming back with me after dinner? It's not the weekend, do you have other things to do?"
When Wen Yan pressed for an answer, Shen Jingxiu gave the truth.
"While I was waiting for you, I received a phone call. I have to go to the police station. It's about Xu Jie."
"Then I want to go too! Did you have someone check his resume and get the results?"
"Yes, the other party told me that it was not clear over the phone, so they asked me to come over when I had time."
"Then I want to go too."
Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wen Yan: "Is your identity convenient?"
"It's convenient. If you're referring to my so-called celebrity status, then there's really no inconvenience. The police aren't as gossipy as some reporters. And if I don't want to show my face, I can just wear a mask and hat."
“Alright,” Shen Jingxiu said, looking ahead and focusing on the road conditions. “Let’s go together then. We’ll take care of this one thing today, and then we can go home.”
"Okay." But Wen Yan glanced at Shen Jingxiu again, "Big brother, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's up?"
Seeing Wen Yan suddenly become so serious, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
"you say."
"That is, in the future, if I ask you for help, or if there are things that concern me, could you please tell me first, instead of making decisions on your own? For example, regarding the matter between our Shen family and the Fu family, you and Fourth Brother told me beforehand not to get involved, so I won't ask anymore. But regarding Xu Jie's matter today, if I hadn't pressed him for details, I would have completely missed the opportunity."
"Of course, I am really grateful that you can help me with these tedious and troublesome things. I am blessed and I will ask for your help in the future! But I just don't want to be kept in the dark."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wen Yan's inner thoughts began to stir again.
I hope my wording is alright. He probably doesn't think I'm being ungrateful. After all, he's a domineering CEO, a CEO who doesn't have "domineering" in his dictionary.
