(394)
Ye Wenyu had long known that Cai Wenchuan was the most handsome man at Q University, and that all the girls in the school had once been infatuated with him, so she wasn't surprised. Besides, having experienced so much in life, she had long realized that while being good-looking was certainly something to be happy about, that was all. Even though she was good-looking, she still had to work to support herself; her face couldn't be used as a credit card.
Furthermore, the most outstanding women in this world are those who are both beautiful and intelligent, possessing both looks and strength. To be satisfied with mere physical beauty is extremely superficial.
Therefore, many female celebrities with extremely high looks still dress like young girls in their fifties or sixties, with braids, pink dresses, or long hair and low-cut tops, which only makes them look not only ugly but also stupid!
Ye Wenyu is already pursuing a higher level of life.
She hopes to live a thoughtful life and be a woman with a fragrant soul.
However, it is precisely because she does not take her beauty for granted that her beauty seems even more unique, attracting attention like a fairy without her even realizing it.
Cai Wenchuan and Zhang Susu were chatting, taking care of the elderly woman with great care. He smiled warmly at Ye Wenyu as he talked to her, his eyes as gentle as the autumn sun.
At this moment, the elegant café, the white coffee cups on the table, the silver spoons, the cats lazily strolling around, and the green plants scattered all around are bathed in the golden autumn sunlight. Everything looks like a beautiful traditional Chinese painting.
As Cai Wenchuan looked at Ye Wenyu, he couldn't help but wonder why he was so foolish. The girl in front of him was beautiful, intelligent, had a great personality, and high emotional intelligence. Most importantly, she possessed an elegant and refined demeanor. He knew perfectly well that Lin Tingyue couldn't even compare to her, yet in his heart, there was still only Lin.
Ye Wenyu's palms were sweating. She wondered what was wrong with him. They had already broken up. He clearly didn't have her in his heart. They could have avoided seeing each other. Why did he come to see her?
Cai Wenchuan, what kind of crazy scheme are you up to?
The two sat facing each other, feeling incredibly awkward, when Zhang Susu's voice rang out with fiery enthusiasm: "Wenchuan, your aunt heard from your parents that you've returned to China, so I immediately brought Xiaoyu to see you. How are you doing abroad?"
Cai Wenchuan continued to look at Ye Wenyu with a slight smile on his face, looking as beautiful as a painting. He replied briefly and politely, "It's alright." His eyes were warm, like the gentle sunlight in winter.
The café was playing soft love songs, making everything seem incredibly romantic.
Zhang Susu glanced at Cai Wenchuan, then at her daughter, and thinking that he only had eyes for her, she couldn't help but smile. Her eyes crinkled with laughter, and her smile overflowed like water. She was overjoyed, praising Cai Wenchuan to the skies, calling him tall, handsome, and talented; knowledgeable and with an enviable status; a well-mannered and modest gentleman. Cai Wenchuan blushed as he listened.
Ye Wenyu remained silent throughout, nearly smashing the coffee cup in her hand.
Because she really didn't know what to say, and had nothing left to say.
Zhang Susu expressed her first point, and then elaborated on her second point: she liked him very much. If she had such a son-in-law, she would be overjoyed and would be laughing in her dreams! Such a son-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern!
In short, it seemed that she would immediately marry her daughter to Cai Wenchuan if he agreed.
As Cai Wenchuan listened, even his ears turned bright red.
Ye Wenyu's face flushed red as she listened, and her ears and neck burned with pain. She buried her head deeply, wishing the ground would split open so she could crawl into it and hide.
Her mother, really, she dares to say anything!
So blunt, so shameful. She has self-respect too; she's not a vegetable in a garden, devoid of feelings.
well--
Cai Wenchuan listened with a smile throughout, repeatedly expressing his gratitude, demonstrating great refinement.
Zhang Susu finally remembered to give the two of them some space to talk, so she stood up, smiled at them, and said, "Oh dear, I'm tired of sitting. You two chat, I'm going to go for a walk outside. Auntie doesn't like this coffee, I'll go to the convenience store outside to buy a bottle of water." After saying that, she tactfully smiled and walked out.
Finally, only Cai Wenchuan and Ye Wenyu remained.
The surroundings became quiet.
It was as quiet as a church. But no matter how enthusiastically their elders tried to bring them together, they would never have the day to get married in a church.
Ye Wenyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and apologized, "I'm sorry!" She kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with Cai Wenchuan, and her tone was somewhat stiff.
Cai Wenchuan was taken aback, and gently asked her, "Why are you apologizing?"
Ye Wenyu said awkwardly, "Because of my mother—" Her little face turned as red as a tomato.
Cai Wenchuan smiled and said, "I think Auntie is very cute." His tone was clearly happy. He looked at her, his eyes seemingly filled with sweetness.
Cute? Ye Wenyu wanted to burst into tears, but she could only explain, "It wasn't my intention." Her expression gradually hardened, becoming as stiff as stone, and her heart slowly hardened and turned cold as iron. Because she knew he didn't love her, she had to become cold to protect herself. Coldness was her armor.
What? The smile on Cai Wenchuan's face gradually disappeared, and his expression turned surprised.
Ye Wenyu had no choice but to raise her head and look directly at Cai Wenchuan. Her bright, sparkling eyes were like autumn water, beautiful as they were, but they also exuded a hint of coldness. Cai Wenchuan felt a little flustered when he looked into those eyes.
Ye Wenyu's delicate face hardened as she corrected him, "Wenchuan, I meant that inviting you out wasn't my idea, it was my mother's. I don't want to see you!" Her tone even hardened towards the end, becoming sharp. She had to arm herself to protect her vulnerability.
Cai Wenchuan froze, his expression darkening, a wave of disappointment washing over him.
Ye Wenyu continued softly, "If you don't want to see me, you can refuse my mother, because she is my mother, and sometimes I can't refuse her. So the best way is for you to refuse her and not meet her. That way, neither of us will feel embarrassed or in pain." Her tone was icy, and her words couldn't be clearer.
Cai Wenchuan froze again, his face paling. Would she be in pain seeing him? Did she think he would be sad to see her again? No, he was happy; he wasn't sad.
Ye Wenyu stood up and said stiffly to Cai Wenchuan, "I'm leaving, goodbye!" Then she turned and walked quickly outside.
She held her head high and walked stubbornly toward the entrance of the coffee shop, her back as straight as a plumb bob. But the coffee shop was designed like a maze, or perhaps she was too nervous and humiliated just now, so she went around in circles and ended up inside the coffee shop!
