Chapter 587 Why did you change your number?
Ji Wan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Li Wen?
She continued, "Why did you change your number?"
Li Wen sighed, "It's a long story. Can we meet and talk?"
Ji Wan nodded, "Of course."
evening.
Ji Wan finished the work at hand and drove away.
Instead of going directly to the bar, she went back to the villa first.
As soon as she opened the door, a small figure rushed over like a cannonball and hugged her legs tightly.
"Mother!"
The soft and sticky voice is filled with deep longing.
Ji Wan's heart softened, and he leaned over and picked up the little guy.
"Nian Nian, are you good today?"
Nian Nian nodded vigorously, rubbing her little face against Ji Wan's neck, and said in a baby voice, "Good boy! Nian Nian ate well and even drew!"
“We are great at reading.”
Ji Wan held his daughter in his arms, and all his fatigue dissipated a lot.
She played with Nian Nian for a while, looked at the time, and prepared to go out.
Nian Nian pulled at the corner of her clothes, raised her little face, and her eyes like black grapes were full of desire.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"Mom is out doing something and will be back soon."
"Take Nian Nian with you, okay?" The little one shook her hand and started to act coquettishly. "Nian Nian promises to be very good and not cause any trouble for Mommy."
Ji Wan was a little hesitant.
It's always inconvenient to take children to places like bars.
But when he met his daughter's wet and expectant eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
She changed her mind and realized that Li Wen had only arranged a date at a bar. As long as she didn't go to the dance floor and found a quiet booth, there should be no problem.
"All right."
She tapped Nian Nian's nose and said, "But hold on to your mother's hand tightly and don't run around. Do you hear me?"
"Um!"
Nian Nian immediately smiled, hugged Ji Wan's neck tightly, and gave her a kiss on the face.
"Mom is the best!"
Night bar.
The deafening music seemed to be about to blow the roof off, and the colorful lights were flashing wildly, cutting through the crowd twisting and turning on the dance floor.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol, perfume and hormones, so strong that it made people feel nauseous.
Ji Wan held Nian Nian's hand, frowning slightly.
She found a relatively secluded and quiet booth, isolated from most of the noise.
"Mom, it's so noisy here." Nian Nian covered her ears, her little face full of discomfort.
"Be good, we'll be leaving soon." Ji Wan patted her head soothingly, let her sit in the innermost seat, and ordered a cup of hot milk.
As soon as she sat down, a woman wearing a hoodie, a baseball cap and a mask walked over quickly and sat down opposite her.
The man looked around vigilantly before taking off his mask, revealing a slightly haggard face.
It’s Li Wen.
Her gaze fell on Nian Nian who was beside Ji Wan, and she was obviously stunned for a moment.
"You brought the child?"
Ji Wan picked up the glass of water that the waiter had just brought, took a sip, and looked anxious.
"Let's get down to business."
She didn't want to waste any extra time.
Li Wen's gaze was still fixed on Nian Nian. She seemed to want to find something from that young face, her eyes complex and strange.
"Thinking of her..."
She remained silent, and Ji Wan was exhausted after a long day. His patience was running out, so he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a "da, da" sound, each of which struck Li Wen's heart.
"I'll only give you three minutes."
"You..." Li Wen was choked by her stubborn look and her expression changed.
She clasped her hands together, her knuckles turning white from the force, her eyes flickering, and her whole body exuding an unconcealable anxiety.
Ji Wan keenly noticed that something was wrong with her.
"You're nervous."
She stated the facts, a hint of inquiry in her tone.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I didn't!" Li Wen retorted almost immediately, her voice rising a few notches before lowering it again and glancing around warily, "What do I have to be afraid of?"
This kind of reaction is tantamount to admitting guilt.
Ji Wan snorted coldly.
Li Wen took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down, but her gaze drifted uncontrollably towards Nian Nian again.
"Wanwan..." Her voice was dry, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous."
She paused, as if choosing her words, but finally dropped a bombshell.
"This child... doesn't look like you at all."
Ji Wan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The air temperature around me dropped by several degrees.
Li Wen continued talking regardless, her speech getting faster and faster, with a strange excitement and temptation in her voice.
"Whether it's you or Mr. Chi, this child's facial features don't resemble either of you. Wanwan, this child...could it be that someone mistakenly took him away from the hospital back then?"
As soon as these words came out, the air pressure around Ji Wan dropped to the lowest point.
She looked at Li Wen, there was no anger in her eyes, only a coldness that could frostbite people.
"When will it be your turn to interfere in my family affairs?"
Her voice was not loud, but every word was heart-piercing.
"Li Wen, have you forgotten the purpose of your visit today?"
Ji Wan stood up and pretended to hug Nian Nian.
"It seems you don't have anything important to do. I don't have time to chat with you about gossip."
"Don't!"
When Li Wen saw her about to leave, she panicked, stood up suddenly and grabbed her arm.
"Don't go! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
She seemed to have lost all her strength, and her voice was trembling.
Ji Wan slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Li Wen's pale face with a strange and resolute look.
Her eyes were as cold as ice, but she didn't sit down immediately. Instead, she bent down and said to Nian Nian in an extremely gentle voice, "Be good, Nian Nian. Mommy will talk to Auntie for a few words. You drink your milk first, okay?"
Nian Nian nodded in confusion, holding the cup of warm milk, drinking it in small sips, and looking at Aunt Li Wen opposite her with curious eyes.
After comforting his daughter, Ji Wan sat down again, but his aura was completely different from before.
She leaned back on the sofa in the booth, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes as sharp as knives, staring straight at Li Wen.
"explain."
"I……"
Li Wen didn't care, and her tears rolled down without warning and hit the floor.
She was shaking all over, and there was no trace of the look she had when she was testing Ji Wan just now. She was left with only embarrassment and despair.
"I just… I just said nonsense! Nian Nian is so cute, how could she be taken away by mistake? I'm a bastard! I said nonsense! You can hit me and scold me, but please, don't ignore me..."
She cried breathlessly, clutching Ji Wan's trouser legs tightly with both hands, as if she was grabbing the last straw.
"I'm really...really desperate!"
Ji Wan's brows were tightly knitted into a knot.
The huge contrast between Li Wen's before and after made her more and more suspicious.
