Chapter 293: Memories Never Go Away
Jiang Yunhui actually sat next to Xiang Nuan, making her laugh. Jiang Yunhui could be so childish. Jiang was only three years old, so he couldn't be more childish.
"I think you're more relaxed here." Xiang Nuan turned her head and looked at him.
Jiang Yunhui's heart trembled, and an inexplicable emotion spread in his chest.
"There are two unique little shops around the corner. I think you'll like them. Come on, I'll take you around."
"Did it also come from dad?" Xiang Nuan teased him deliberately.
Jiang Yunhui's expression changed again, but it was obvious that he was holding back his laughter. Xiang Nuan laughed even more wantonly.
"It's you!" A graceful girl in a fiery red dress suddenly appeared, just like a light suddenly turned on in a dim room, and Xiang Nuan felt a flash before her eyes.
"I was wondering why people were looking this way. Turns out the focus is here." Yuan Zhen's smile was as bright as the sun.
"Hello, what a coincidence." Xiang Nuan responded generously.
"Are you here to see the show too?" Yuan Zhen was not at all shy and sat down in the seat vacated by Jiang Yunhui.
"Private trip." Jiang Yunhui responded lightly.
"Ha, are you taking your wives on vacation again? You seem to really love France. I envy you so much that you are still as sweet as your first love after all these years."
"Is there?" Xiang Nuan tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yunhui, playful and cute.
"By the way, I heard that you and Lucas are planning a new project. Are you planning to make a new movie? Do you think I have a chance?"
Probably because she had tried to stop Jiang Yunhui many times but failed, and now that she had finally caught him, she chose to throw away all the twists and turns and get straight to the point.
"Aren't you going back to China to develop your career? Miss Yuan and I don't seem to be on the same page. When I was in China, you were abroad. Now that I've retired from the entertainment industry, you're back in China again."
The implication of Jiang Yunhui's words was too obvious, and the regret was plain to see.
"The route can be changed."
"I'm not planning any movies. You should have heard that I retired a long time ago. Now I just want to make up for the time I owed my wife. So, I can't do anything. I'm really sorry."
Yuan Zhen looked at Jiang Yunhui, then at Xiang Nuan, and suddenly smiled and said, "Retiring doesn't count, right? That word is just for fooling outsiders, but didn't you just work with Lucas on a new film? The editor is even more impressive."
"That was Lucas's favor. I didn't actually do anything."
Jiang Yunhui didn't even say a polite word to deal with her, and she didn't know how to react for a moment. But since she had chased him here, how could she give up so easily? !
"The development of the domestic market in the past two years has exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that returning with experience in the international market would give me an advantage, but I didn't expect that the domestic market has long since stopped accepting this. As you can see, I have contacted many directors and production platforms, but with little success. I need a key to open the domestic market and let me return to the public eye. You are the only person I have worked with who can help me, so if you have the opportunity, please help me, an old friend."
Xiang Nuan felt a little sympathetic towards Yuan Zhen. In this world where interests come first, playing the emotional card requires sacrificing one's self-esteem.
"Ma'am," the waiter appeared with a dessert, interrupting the delicate atmosphere, "This is the ice cream Frank made especially for you. He said he remembered that you liked this flavor."
Xiang Nuan's heart suddenly tightened, as if someone was hitting her chest with a hammer.
"Thank you, Frank, for remembering it. Thank you so much."
Xiang Nuan gently scooped a small spoonful, and the sweetness of cream wrapped in the aroma of hazelnuts instantly spread in her mouth. It turned out that Wan Qing liked this taste, and she was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yunhui was talking to Yuan Zhen, but she didn't listen. The whole world suddenly peeled away from her, taking the sweetness of ice cream away from her. She could only see Wan Qing sitting here in the past, savoring the sweet love that belonged to her alone.
Whenever I have time, I stay here. Of course, this is where Wanqing lived...
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yunhui put his arm around her waist and brought her back to her senses. "Is it delicious?"
Xiang Nuan nodded.
"Unhappy?" Jiang Yunhui looked at her lovingly. He turned to Yuan Zhen and said, "I'm sorry, I promised my wife that I would never mention work."
"I am sorry for being so presumptuous." If Yuan Zhen still doesn't know what's tactful at this moment, then her emotional intelligence would be really worrying.
Yuan Zhen simply said a few polite words and said goodbye. It was obvious that he was leaving reluctantly, after all, he still had so much to say.
"Let me try it." Jiang Yunhui picked up the spoon and scooped a large spoonful. He was trying to make Xiang Nuan happy, but his expression changed as he ate. The taste of ice cream turned into the taste of memories, clearly written on his face.
"What's that smell?" Xiang Nuan looked at him.
"Um?"
"Frank put a lot of stuff in there, what did he eat?"
"Oh, it's all the same to me, Bing."
"Let's go." Xiang Nuan suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Aren't there two unique little shops? It's still early, so we can go shopping."
"Oh, that's right. I just talked to Yuan Zhen for a long time and I forgot everything."
Jiang Yunhui also stood up, but his eyes were still on the ice cream. He walked a long way but was unable to pull his eyes back.
The special store that Jiang Yunhui mentioned is a candy store. The decoration of the store is very stylish, a complete replica of a candy house. Many people passing by will take photos and check in here, and then buy some candies as souvenirs, so the business of the store is very prosperous.
When Xiang Nuan saw it for the first time, the hammer in her heart hit her hard again.
Candy?! Jiang Yunhui?! If this wasn’t the second stop of his revisit to the old place, then he would have seen a ghost!
Of course a lovely person like Wanqing would like this lovely place. She seemed to be able to see the two of them taking silly photos and feeding each other candies.
“Their chocolate…”
"What store is next?"
"Um?"
"Let's go to the next one."
Xiang Nuan walked straight ahead, not wanting to stay here any longer. Could the next store be a flower shop? The beautiful scene of a gentle and virtuous literary girl walking on the road with flowers in her hands is also an indelible memory, isn't it? Could he have picked a flower and put it in her hair, telling her that she was the most beautiful bride in the world?
"Nuan'er... Nuan..."
Jiang Yunhui's voice sounded so distant that it seemed to come from another world. It was not until he grabbed her arm that she came back to her senses.
"What's wrong?"
“I don’t like candy.”
Jiang Yunhui was stunned and stared at her. It was not the first time he found out that she didn't like candy, but the tone of her voice was stiff and cold.
"It has nothing to do with candy. Something happened, right? You're not in a good mood, and you haven't been in a good mood since a while ago. I shouldn't have talked to Yuanzhen for too long, right?"
He held up Xiang Nuan's face, trying to find clues from her expression.
"No, it has nothing to do with Yuan Zhen... What is it?"
Xiang Nuan suddenly wanted to cry, and she couldn't explain where this inexplicable emotional fluctuation came from. Envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Wan Qing? She knew that was the secret place in Jiang Yunhui's heart that could not be filled or replaced. She would only become more and more perfect, no one could compare to her!
"Frank knows Wanqing," she responded with a choked voice, "Not just Yuanzhen, Frank knows that I'm not your wife."
