(480)
Two hours later, Ye Wenyu and Cai Wenchuan arrived in S City. It was already dark, the night was deep and dark, like a mine shaft, and the flashing neon lights looked like an inverted galaxy, incredibly brilliant.
Both of them were tired and walked out of the bus station in silence. The cold wind blew in their faces, like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads.
Cai Wenchuan stood by the roadside, hailed a taxi using Didi, and said to Wenyu, "Let's eat first, then go home and rest."
Having no better options or arrangements, Ye Wenyu nodded meekly, which was considered as agreement.
The Didi driver arrived quickly and took them to a five-star hotel, where the two got out of the car.
Ye Wenyu noticed the restaurant was very upscale and immediately stopped, saying to Cai Wenchuan, "No need, it's too expensive here. Let's just find a place to eat." She was considerate of Cai Wenchuan, who wasn't wealthy, as she was there for him.
Cai Wenchuan smiled, took her hand and led her inside, saying, "To celebrate the start of your new life, let's eat at a nice place. My salary is not low now, and I have research funding. Trust me, your brother Wen can afford it."
Celebrating the start of a new life? Ye Wenyu's heart stirred, and she finally smiled and agreed. She thought to herself, Cai Wenchuan is so good to her. At this point in her life, she still has a good older brother by her side, caring for her and helping her make the right choices in life. She is truly grateful.
As soon as the two entered the hotel, a tall and handsome waiter came up to them, led them to a private room, and took them to sit down.
Not far away, a blond, fair-skinned foreign young man was playing the violin.
Cai Wenchuan smiled at her and said, "Don't overthink it. After you finish this meal, go home and get a good night's sleep. Then tomorrow, life will get back on track. I'll go to work, and you go to school. Then, find some time to meet Lin Tingfeng and explain things to him, okay?"
Ye Wenyu felt a warmth in her heart.
Cai Wenchuan had arranged everything meticulously and with a clear mind. Ye Wenyu nodded, as she had planned it the same way. Therefore, she looked at Cai Wenchuan gratefully and said to him, "Thank you, Brother Wen."
Cai Wenchuan smiled and said, "No need to be polite, it's between us. No need for thanks." He thought to himself, he didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so obedient. She is such a smart and sensible child. Without him saying much, she knew that she had gone astray. Because she herself is like a sunflower, she naturally yearns for the light. Therefore, she immediately corrected the wrong course of her life and bravely faced everything.
This was the Xiaoyu he remembered, and Cai Wenchuan was very satisfied with her performance.
At this moment, the food was served, with all kinds of delicacies densely arranged on the table. Cai Wenchuan was tired and hungry after a long day. In addition, Ye Wenyu was so docile and obedient. He was very gratified to see that her life was on the right track. Therefore, he was very happy to enjoy the five-star hotel meal.
Ye Wenyu, on the other hand, lost her appetite. After turning on her phone, she didn't turn it off again to avoid worrying her relatives and friends. Therefore, although she had silenced her phone and put it on vibrate, she could feel it vibrating constantly. Although she didn't have time to take out her phone, she was certain that Lin Tingfeng had called her many times.
She had no appetite; the tempting food tasted like pebbles to her. She silently ate the food that Cai Wenchuan occasionally served her with serving chopsticks, her mind torn between checking her phone and calling Lin Tingfeng again.
It's impossible for Ye Wenyu not to feel any attachment to Lin Tingfeng. After all, they had shared many happy times together. Lin Tingfeng might be a bad person to others, but to Ye Wenyu, he was a good person.
A bad man can only become a good person if he loves a woman very much.
So, in a couple of days, she'll break up with him, return all the gifts he gave her, and then they'll be even, strangers. Wouldn't that be a bit much? Perhaps he's far superior to her in terms of money and material possessions, but emotionally, she's the one who abandoned him? He once said that this divorce was because of her, because he loved her very much and wanted to give her a proper status. Although Wen-ge told her not to believe him, that divorce for a rich man is a long shot, and that he was lying to her, are Cai Wen-chuan's words always the truth? Not necessarily.
Furthermore, in the matter concerning Lin Tingxuan, she didn't even give Lin Tingfeng a chance to explain, which is extremely unfair.
Therefore, as Ye Wenyu pondered, her heart was like a resilient blade of grass in a strong wind, desperately tangled and swaying.
At this moment, Cai Wenchuan suddenly said to her, "Look!"
What are you looking at? Ye Wenyu looked up from her reverie, wondering what she was looking at. Had something happened? She quickly noticed that Cai Wenchuan's face was gloomy, and his large, peach-blossom eyes held a mixture of resentment and contempt, as well as a hint of schadenfreude.
She looked around and quickly noticed that the guests who had been quietly enjoying their dinner in this luxurious and upscale hotel were becoming excited and restless.
They were all acting like they were on stimulants.
Ye Wenyu felt a surge of curiosity. What had happened? She looked at the other guests and noticed that they were all staring at the hotel entrance, craning their necks and looking on. Their eyes were shining like stars in the sky. Was there some important person coming to the hotel?
Ye Wenyu also looked at the hotel entrance and asked Cai Wenchuan curiously, "Is there a distinguished guest coming to this hotel soon? Is it a big star or a government official?"
Cai Wenchuan was the only one among everyone present who didn't show any excitement in his eyes. He looked at the hotel entrance and replied calmly, "You'll find out soon enough."
Ye Wenyu was not interested in the people and things outside, so after looking at the hotel entrance for about half a minute and not finding anything shocking new, she turned her gaze back down and lowered her head to think about her own thoughts.
Soon, the entire hotel erupted in excitement, like a pot of porridge that had been simmering for too long. She sensed people cheering and running around, so she looked up again and saw that everyone had stopped eating and instead took out their phones to snap photos of the hotel entrance.
Who on earth is this? Is it a big star? Ye Wenyu's curiosity was piqued again. She looked up at the entrance, and upon seeing it, she immediately stood up as if burned. After standing up, she quickly realized that this would give her away, so she sat down again in a flash, even lowering her head like a turtle shrinking into itself. Her body trembled like a leaf in a storm.
Cai Wenchuan sat opposite her, watching everything unfold, his large, expressive eyes filled with compassion.
