"Honey, do you two know each other?"
Dong Qizhi was even more shocked than she was when he heard this.
"You two know each other?" he asked in return.
Wu Lili was a little confused about the situation in front of her. "This is my classmate Su Yan."
She simply said one sentence, which made Dong Qizhi's eyes widen in surprise. He hurriedly pulled Wu Lili aside and scolded her sharply.
"You know such important people, why didn't you introduce me? If I had known, I would have prepared more gifts before coming!"
Wu Lili was so shocked by his appearance that she didn't know what to say.
"Honey, who is she?"
Wu Lili was completely stunned.
"You don't even recognize your own classmate! Do you know that this classmate of yours is now the CEO of the Yi Group! Mr. Yi's fiancée, the future daughter-in-law of the Yi family! Such an important person and you didn't even say anything!"
Dong Qizhi scolded her with disappointment, but Wu Lili didn't even have the energy to argue back.
She stared blankly at Su Yan, her mind replaying Su Yan's past actions.
Just thinking about her boastful words at the dinner table makes me want to crawl into a hole. She even looks down on Yi An and is planning to introduce Su Yan to another man.
While Wu Lili was filled with remorse, Su Yan had already reached Yi An's side, using him as a convenient excuse to escape.
"Lily, it's getting late, so I'll be going now."
"No, Su Yan!" Wu Lili tried to stop her, but it was too late; she couldn't even stop Su Yan from leaving.
When Duan Sisi saw her face turn green with regret, she couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction. The pain she had endured all night was finally released.
Having watched enough of the drama, she made an excuse to leave, leaving only the sounds of Wu Lili and her husband arguing at the entrance of Nanhaiqing.
Duan Sisi strolled alone by the roadside, not even wanting to hail a taxi.
"Hey, honey."
"You don't need to pick me up. I've already taken a taxi. I can go back by myself. Don't worry."
She made up a lie and fooled Su Yan. After hanging up, she continued to wander the streets alone.
The cold wind that came towards her invaded her limbs and bones, but it could not compare to the chill in her heart.
Duan Sisi wandered aimlessly down the street.
Wen Zhan finished his meal and walked out of the South China Sea.
The lady nestled beside her husband, repeatedly thanking Wenzhan.
"Dr. Wen, I really have to entrust this pregnancy to you. It's our only hope."
"Don't worry, come to the hospital for a follow-up check-up tomorrow. Just rest well at home for the next few months, and there shouldn't be any problems."
With Wenzhan's words, the noblewoman was completely relieved.
Wenzhan watched her leave, then turned and unlocked the car, getting in.
He drove back, and as soon as he turned out of Nanhaiqing, he saw a familiar figure by the roadside.
Wen Zhan was taken aback, and the car slowed down noticeably.
The car slowly drove past Duan Sisi. Wen Zhan turned his head and happened to see Duan Sisi's face.
"It's her again!"
Wen Zhan sounded impatient and subconsciously stepped on the gas. But after driving for a short while, he sighed deeply and reversed the car.
Duan Sisi's guard immediately went up as she watched the unfamiliar vehicle return.
Before Wen Zhan could even roll down the car window, she pretended to answer a phone call and called out loudly, "Honey, where are you?"
Wen Zhan rolled down the car window, glanced at the homepage displayed on her phone screen, and watched her perform without saying a word.
Duan Sisi was completely unaware of this, and was immersed in her superb acting skills.
"Oh, honey, are you coming soon? Can you see me? I'm right by the roadside! Yes, yes, yes!"
She turned her head and met Wen Zhan's ambiguous smile. All her words immediately got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single one.
Duan Sisi slammed down the phone. "Why is it you again?!"
Wen Zhan didn't answer, turned his head and started the car to leave, but Duan Sisi was quick-witted and opened the car door, "whoosh" and sat in.
It was so fast that Wen Zhan couldn't even see it clearly.
He turned to look at Duan Sisi, who was sitting casually in the passenger seat, and asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't your husband almost here?"
Duan Sisi felt embarrassed by his deliberate teasing and became even more impatient.
"Is this how you talk to your creditors?! Drive!"
Hearing her commanding tone, Wen Zhan gritted his teeth, regretting in his heart why he had to back down. Why didn't he let her walk to her death on her own?
He vented all his anger on the control lever, and the car sped off.
Duan Sisi showed no politeness whatsoever, turning on the air conditioner while shivering and complaining, "It's so cold outside, why aren't you turning on the air conditioner? Why are you so stifled!"
Wen Zhan retorted with the same phrasing: "It's so cold outside, why aren't you taking a taxi? Why are you so stingy!"
Duan Sisi was speechless for a long time after he said that.
Wen Zhan wouldn't give up, pointing to the air conditioner: "This is also on your tab."
Upon hearing this, Duan Sisi gave an incredulous sneer, "Hey little brother, do you dare to be any more stingy?"
Wen Zhan drove expressionlessly. While waiting at a traffic light, he took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of RMB he had prepared beforehand, and then took out two bills before tossing them to Duan Sisi.
"This is the money I owed you last time. I've deducted the taxi fare and air conditioning fee from it."
Duan Sisi didn't answer, but teased, "Your car is really expensive, just one ride and two red envelopes are gone?"
"If you're so capable, why don't you sit down?"
Wen Zhan's words left Duan Sisi speechless once again.
Seeing the green light, he casually threw the money at Duan Sisi.
Where is your home?
Duan Sisi gave an address, and the two of them fell silent.
The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly, and an awkward silence filled the air.
Duan Sisi clutched the money in her hand and then stole a couple of glances at Wen Zhan, who was focused on driving.
To be honest, from this angle, he actually looks quite presentable. No wonder he's so popular with wealthy older women.
The thought of that lavishly dressed noblewoman from Nanhaiqing made it impossible for her to look at the money in her hand anymore.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally put the money back into his wallet.
Wen Zhan appeared to be driving seriously, but his eyes were constantly on Duan Sisi. He noticed her expressions changing frequently and wished he could turn his own face into a color palette.
Seeing her put the money back, he couldn't help but ask, "What trick are you playing now?"
Duan Sisi was a little unhappy when she heard his guarded tone, but when she thought of how hard he worked to earn money, she held back her anger.
