Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Ending
Three years later.
After typing for a whole day, Wen Yao flipped to the Weibo interface in her spare time, forwarded the news that the TV series "Honey Marriage" was about to be broadcast, and then involuntarily clicked on the Weibo page of the second male lead.
"Honey Marriage" is the name of the TV series adapted from her novel. When the cast was decided, the crew asked her for her opinion on the leading role. As a small author, she naturally had no say and no intention of deciding anything, but she still told the crew that she had her eyes on an actor to play the second male lead, Jiang Yue.
He was a young actor who had just debuted and was not very famous, but he had a pair of eyes like Jiang Yue.
She fell in love with him almost at first sight and couldn't help but tell the crew about her wish. Then, unexpectedly, and for some unknown reason, the role of Jiang Yue was actually given to that actor.
Later, she also followed the actor's Weibo, watched some of his daily life photos and some small variety show videos, and found that there was almost no overlap between him and Jiang Yue, so she lost interest. But just because of those eyes, she would occasionally click in to take a look.
Just as she was clicking on the actor's newly posted stills, there was a knock on the door, and then Mother Wen pushed open the door and walked in: "Come and take a look at the wedding photos your Aunt Zhang sent of her daughter. I think they're taken very well, and the price is not expensive. Why don't you and Yun Fang go to their place to have them taken?"
Wen Yao sighed and remained seated in her chair, "I'm busy now. Let's talk about this later."
"What do you mean you're not free? I think you are. Come and take a look!" Mother Wen came over with her phone and flipped through the chat photos on it to show her: "Look at this, isn't it great? And this pink dress, so pretty, only a little over 10,000 yuan, and you don't have to add a penny."
Wen Yao glanced around casually and saw the QQ message flashing. She quickly said, "Hurry, my editor needs to see me. I'll look at the photos later."
For Mother Wen, the editor asking her for something was just like her boss asking her for something. She kept saying "OK" and immediately went out to close the door for her.
Wen Yao was stunned looking at the QQ message.
Of course, it wasn’t the editor, but Xianyu Le Youyou complained to her about the adapted TV drama plot. As a good friend, she went to watch it as soon as it started airing.
Wen Yao replied a few words, and then remembered her wedding date with Xiao Yunfang.
The two families initially decided to set the wedding date on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
So recently my mother has been asking people every day which hotel is good for holding wedding banquets and which photo studio is good for taking wedding photos. A few days ago, she even asked her to take her shopping, hoping to buy a high-end wedding dress for her mother-in-law.
But Wen Yao felt increasingly confused.
Three years ago, not long after she came back, her father fell ill with advanced liver cancer. The family was in chaos during that time, and she was also at a loss. It was at that time that Xiao Yunfang returned to his hometown from Beijing and reunited with her.
Xiao Yunfang happened to have a classmate working in the Hepatology Department of Binjiang Hospital, so he contacted the hospital, found a doctor, and selected a suitable treatment plan for them. It was also at that time that he accompanied and comforted her throughout the whole process, from the time her father became seriously ill to his death, allowing her to get over it.
Then, as if it was natural, everyone thought they were a couple, and the two families began to discuss marriage. Until now, it seems that everything has been settled.
But she knew that she was actually escaping. The secret love in high school was too far away. She might not dislike Xiao Yunfang many years later, but the love that was enough to lead to marriage was still very far away.
She tactfully said that she didn't want to fall in love or talk about marriage. Xiao Yunfang told her that it didn't matter, that she was sad because of her father's affairs, and that he could accompany her and wait for her, thus stopping her from talking.
Then the two of them were getting closer and closer to getting married. She didn't know how to propose to break up the engagement, how to face her own mother, how to face the other party's mother, and how to face Xiao Yunfang who had helped her so much.
Furthermore, she also wanted to try to see if she could completely forget Jiang Yue and be with Xiao Yunfang wholeheartedly. Because if she wanted to get married for the rest of her life, Xiao Yunfang would undoubtedly be the most suitable person.
But looking at the photo of the second male lead in front of her, she didn't know how long it would take for her to forget him, three years, five years, ten years, or even longer?
After dinner, her mother went to square dance. She was upset and decided to go out for a walk.
The down payment for the house was paid with the copyright fees from the book. It is not big, but it is enough for living. The community environment is also okay, and she would occasionally walk around there.
After leaving the apartment building, she saw an all-black Audi in a nearby ground parking space. She vaguely felt that there was someone sitting in the driver's seat. When she was about to look, she saw the person inside slowly raising the car window.
In the fleeting glance under the dim street light, she only saw that it was a young man, but could not see clearly what he looked like.
But she had seen this car several times. Last time, it seemed to be parked in the parking space, but there seemed to be someone inside. And the figure she had just glanced at just now, always felt...
Just then, the cell phone rang.
She lowered her head to pick up her cell phone. It was Xiao Yunfang.
Since he came back three years ago, he has changed his job to Binjiang and only occasionally goes to Beijing on business trips. He happened to be on a business trip two days ago.
Picking up the phone, Xiao Yunfang asked her gently on the other end of the phone: "How is it? Have you eaten? Are you home?"
"Yeah, downstairs. How about you, how's work going?"
Xiao Yunfang smiled and said, "Look up."
Wen Yao looked up and saw Xiao Yunfang standing opposite her with a bag in his hand.
She hurried forward and asked in surprise, "You're back, when?"
"Just now." Xiao Yunfang said as he handed her the bag in his hand: "I brought you roast duck and some snacks that Auntie likes to eat."
Wen Yao frowned: "Why buy it again? You go to work, not play, shopping is tiring, and do I love roast duck so much? I buy it every time."
Xiao Yunfang smiled and said, "Anyone always says you eat the most, so that proves you're not tired of it yet. I was planning to add a dish to your dinner, but I got stuck in traffic and was a little late."
"It doesn't matter. You can still eat it tomorrow after heating it up." Wen Yao took the bag.
Xiao Yunfang said, "You take it up first. I won't go up. I'll walk down with you."
Wen Yao nodded, turned around and went upstairs to get her things. When she put them away and was about to go downstairs, she saw the screen saver on her computer in the room, which she had not turned off.
It’s the actor who played Jiang Yue.
She suddenly felt that perhaps the start of the TV series was a reminder for her that it was time to speak up. Ruining a marriage was better than ruining someone else's happiness. Xiao Yunfang was such a good man, why should she let him be a tool for her to marry?
She closed the door and ran downstairs quickly.
The black Audi had disappeared. Wen Yao didn't care anymore and walked up to Xiao Yunfang.
The two were walking in the corridor of the residential complex when Xiao Yunfang suddenly said, "Tomorrow is May 20th. I heard that it is the peak period for obtaining certificates. Do you want to join in the fun?"
Wen Yao was startled. At this moment, she truly felt the approach of marriage.
Is she really going to marry Xiao Yunfang? But what if she hasn't forgotten Jiang Yue for a long time? And what if she hasn't really fallen in love with Xiao Yunfang for a long time?
"Yun Fang, actually I still don't want to get married." She blurted out without thinking.
After saying this, I felt the courage to do whatever it takes and decided to end it today.
Xiao Yunfang looked at her and asked, "Why?"
Wen Yao took a deep breath. "Actually, I know very well that it's not because I can't get over my father's affairs, nor is it because I'm concentrating on writing novels or anything else. It's just... Yun Fang, I love someone. I started with him before I met you again, and I haven't forgotten him until now."
Xiao Yunfang remained silent.
After a while, he said, "Actually, I can feel it, but I thought you would eventually forget what happened before, and that we could go from having a crush on each other as teenagers to growing old together as adults."
Lost, he asked, "How long have you been together? Why did you break up?"
Wen Yao confessed to him, "We weren't together for long, but we went through a lot. We broke up because... because of some unavoidable reasons. He went abroad and will never come back."
"Then are you going to miss him for the rest of your life?" Xiao Yunfang couldn't help but ask, "If he really wanted to be with you at all costs, he wouldn't have chosen to go abroad."
Wen Yao quickly explained, "No, it really has nothing to do with him. We really had no choice but to break up. It was because I knew there was no possibility for us to be together again that I wasn't so determined. I also thought marrying you would be a great thing, but the closer we get to marriage, the more I feel like I can't do it. It's not just emotional torture, it's also a torment on my conscience. You've helped me so much and treated me so well, I don't want you to have a marriage of deception."
"What if I say I still want to give it a try?" Xiao Yunfang said, "Don't be afraid of letting me down. Just look at it from your own perspective. Do you want to stay single for the rest of your life because of him, or do you choose to get married and then decide to choose me?"
Wen Yao was speechless, not knowing how to respond, or even what to choose.
Xiao Yunfang said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with my household registration booklet and wait for you. If you decide to marry me, we will go and get the certificate, then try to forget the past and live a good life. If you decide to break up, tell me in person tomorrow and we will announce our breakup to our families together."
"But……"
Xiao Yunfang said before she finished speaking: "No matter what, I still hope you will choose me. See you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." After that, he turned and left.
Wen Yao stood there alone, looking at his receding back for a long time.
That night, she thought a lot, until she flipped through the novel on her phone and saw the ending she had given to Jiang Yue.
He founded a new budget hotel chain and built his own business empire, but for many years he remained single and unmarried, with no woman around. Others said he was still in love with his sister-in-law, Lu Wan, but he never reciprocated. He would only occasionally stand on the balcony on quiet nights, gazing at the distant sky, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Wen Yao also looked at the sky outside her window.
They are not in the same world, so are they looking at the same sky?
What if it is?
Was it that when she looked at it like this, Jiang Yue was also looking at the same sky?
She suddenly laughed, no longer lonely, no longer desperate, as if she had seen him under another sky.
Since she gave him the ending of waiting alone, it would be fair for her to give herself the same ending.
After making the decision, Wen Yao fell into a good sleep.
The next day, she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau at the agreed time. When she got out of the taxi, she saw Xiao Yunfang standing at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau waiting for her.
She immediately walked towards him quickly, but inadvertently saw a black Audi parked on the side of the road.
It felt so familiar, as if it was the same car she saw last night. She looked up at the driver's seat and was stunned.
Through the windshield, she saw Jiang Yue's face!
And he was also looking at her at this moment, and even his eyes were full of arrogance and aggressiveness, just like the him she knew.
But the next moment, he drove away in a cloud of dust.
Wen Yao came to her senses and immediately chased after the car, but he was driving so fast that he disappeared in the traffic. She only had time to see the last three digits of the license plate.
She was completely crazy and didn't even bother to talk to Xiao Yunfang about the final decision. She quickly took out her cell phone to write down the license plate numbers of the three drivers, and then began to anxiously think about what to do.
How can I find the full license plate number if I know the last three digits? How can I find the owner of a car if I know the license plate number? Do I need to check the CCTV or contact the traffic bureau? But as an ordinary person, how can I view the CCTV?
Just as she was sorting out her thoughts, Xiao Yunfang asked her, "What's wrong with you? Have you made a decision?"
Wen Yao said anxiously, "Yun Fang, I just saw him, I saw him! No, I shouldn't tell you this. I want to say that I've made up my mind. I choose not to get married. I'm sorry. Let me go and explain this to my family. It has nothing to do with you. The responsibility lies with me."
Xiao Yunfang looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly: "Okay, it seems that there is nothing I can do except accept and bless you."
Wen Yao apologized, "I originally had a lot to say to you, and I also wanted to apologize to you. I wanted to accompany you to meet your uncle and aunt, but I can't do that today. I just saw him in that black Audi, and it's obvious that he can't come back... I'll go ask the Civil Affairs Bureau if they can let me see the surveillance footage. I don't remember his license plate number!" As she said that, she ran to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Xiao Yunfang stopped her and said, "The Civil Affairs Bureau probably won't agree. I think I've seen this car several times before, in your neighborhood. Maybe it would be easier for you to check the surveillance footage at the neighborhood property management."
Wen Yao suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. She was the owner, and it would be much easier for her to go to the property management to check the surveillance than to ask the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Without saying anything more, Wen Yao hurriedly thanked him and took a taxi away.
The property management was very easy to talk to. They quickly showed her the surveillance footage and got the license plate number of the black Audi.
Wen Yao wrote down the license plate number and asked the security guard, "Do you know how to find or contact the owner using the license plate number?"
The security guard shook his head and scratched his head. "Well...I don't think that's possible. Let me ask for you."
The security guard asked the captain for her, but the captain shook his head: "No, it's hard to find out. But you can find an angle and zoom in on the footage to see if there's a phone number on his car for moving the car or something. If there is, we can contact him directly."
Both of them thought this was a good idea, so the security guard immediately went to look for an angle and actually found a metal phone sign for moving the car in front of the car.
Wen Yao was staring at the magnified face in the driver's seat. Although the surveillance video was not very clear and there was still glass between them, it was clearly him!
Why was he in her neighborhood? Why did he show up, but not come to see her? Was it really him?
Countless questions were concentrated on the phone number she finally got.
She took out her cell phone and dialed the number almost tremblingly.
When the call was connected, she said "Hello" softly, and the call was hung up directly.
Wen Yao waited for a moment, then dialed again with trepidation. This time the call was quickly picked up, and someone spoke, a young female voice: "Hello—"
"Hello, I'm looking for..." Wen Yao asked tentatively, "Jiang Yue?"
The female voice replied: "Excuse me, are you——"
"I..." Wen Yao hesitated, and finally said, "My name is Wen Yao."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, perhaps thinking or asking for instructions, before he replied, "Sorry, President Jiang is in a meeting and can't answer right now. Why don't you call back after the meeting?"
"When will the meeting end?" Wen Yao asked hurriedly.
The young woman replied, "About half an hour, if that's all right with you—"
"Yes, I want to ask if he is in the company. Where is your company?" Wen Yao said immediately.
The young daughter fell silent again. After a long while, she spoke again: "Hello, I'm sorry I can't answer you. If you have any questions, you can call our front desk."
Wen Yao immediately asked, "Okay, what's your front desk phone number?"
The other side told her frankly at this moment.
She wrote down the number and quickly dialed it, then heard the corporate ringtone on the phone: "Welcome to Anjia Hotel, Anjia Hotel has a national..."
Anjia Hotel was the brand she mentioned before that had captured the second- and third-tier economy hotel chain market in a short period of time. It was now at its peak, and Jiang Yue actually worked in this company!
An idea suddenly struck her. She hung up the phone and searched online: "Anjia Hotel, Riverside, Jiangyue."
After flipping through two pages, I actually found relevant information. It was a news report about the cooperation between Anjia Hotel and a certain enterprise. Jiang Yue's name appeared in it. His position was the general manager of Anjia Hotel's Binjiang District.
She quickly searched for the location of the Anjia Hotel's executive building, and then, unable to wait any longer, she took a taxi and headed to his company while searching for relevant information on her mobile phone.
Everything matched, appearance, name, industry, etc., but... he knew that he didn't come to find him.
Why?
She found it hard to believe that he was not the Jiang Yue she was looking for, but she couldn't understand why he didn't come to find her. Could it be that... he had lost his memory?
The administrative building of Anjia Hotel is naturally not as grand as that of Yueer Group, but it is also a five-story building. Standing at the bottom of the building, she took a breath and entered the administrative building.
After she explained her purpose, the hotel was not strict in their management and quickly notified the office floor. Unfortunately, the reply she received was that President Jiang was busy and not seeing guests, but she clearly gave her own name.
Now she was worried that Jiang Yue didn't recognize her.
There was no choice but to wait outside the company.
She waited until noon, and saw Jiang Yue sending someone downstairs. She saw her chance, and as soon as the person left, she rushed up and excitedly asked, "Jiang... Jiang Yue?"
Jiang Yue looked back at her but didn't say anything.
Wen Yao was both excited and nervous, and spoke incoherently: "I...Excuse me, do you know me?"
Jiang Yue smiled, a hint of sarcasm on his face, and said calmly, "I don't know him."
After saying that, he entered the company building. Wen Yao was stunned by his words "I don't know him" and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, she suddenly realized: something was wrong.
Jiang Yue didn't fail to recognize her, he obviously knew her!
Putting aside the fact that he appeared downstairs in her neighborhood, he was indeed arrogant and rude, but on the surface he was a very elegant and polite person. For example, he had just gone downstairs to see the guests off in person, and he had also smiled and opened the car door for the guests to see them off. He was more considerate than anyone else in business etiquette, and how could a person like him show such a sarcastic expression to a stranger?
Unless he knew her and had a grudge against her.
Maybe it’s because of Xiao Yunfang.
Because she is with Xiao Yunfang?
But why is he here and how did he get here?
She couldn't figure out all the doubts on her own. Since she was sure that he knew her, she felt relieved. She sat in the reception area downstairs of their company and waited patiently. She even ordered a takeout for herself.
Then she waited until six o'clock in the evening.
At six o'clock, people in the company building started to leave work. She stared at the card swiping area motionlessly until a large number of people left. At half past six, Jiang Yue came out.
Wen Yao immediately rushed over and followed him. He just glanced at her without saying a word, so she followed him closely until he arrived at the parking lot in front, stood in front of the black Audi, and unlocked it.
Just as he entered the driver's seat, she was quick to open the passenger door and get in.
Jiang Yue looked at her, and she quickly grabbed the seat belt, as if she was ready to hold on to it at any time.
But Jiang Yue didn't ask her to get out of the car. He just took a look at her and started the car.
Wen Yao was now certain that he really knew her.
"Why are you here? Why don't you come to see me?" she asked anxiously, her eyes red with grievance.
Jiang Yue didn't reply.
She asked again, "When did you come? You knew where I was, so why didn't you come find me?"
Jiang Yue said calmly while driving, "Ms. Wen, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know! You must know!" Wen Yao said excitedly, "You just know! For the past three years, I've been extremely unhappy every day because of you, but you're right next to me, yet you never come to see me. What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yue fell silent again. She gritted her teeth and said, "You don't have to deny it. I know you must know me. If you don't speak, I won't leave. Unless you pull out a woman now and tell me that you are married and living a happy life, I will no longer force you to answer."
Jiang Yue replied at this moment: "I don't know why you insist on saying that you know me, but I am indeed married. If you want to meet her, I will take you to see her now."
Wen Yao was suddenly shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
Is what he said true?
He... is married?
Wen Yao was speechless. She sat in the car as if she was in an icy cave, watching the scenery in front of her fly past rapidly.
After a long time, she asked, "You lied to me, didn't you? Are you really married?"
Jiang Yue ignored her.
She lowered her head to look at his fingers, questioning as if she had found some evidence: "You're not even wearing a wedding ring!"
Jiang Yue parked the car in the basement until it entered a new young residential area, and then took the elevator upstairs.
Before they got on the elevator, a family of three got off. Wen Yao glanced at the baby in the stroller before following him into the elevator. Seeing him press the 7th floor button, she thought that it was time to get off work and he should be going home. Now she was really worried that there was a wife inside who had prepared dinner and was waiting for him when he got home.
She couldn't help asking, "When did you get married?"
Jiang Yue glanced at her but didn't reply.
The elevator ran fast and soon reached the seventh floor. He got out of the elevator and went to a room door to open it.
Wen Yao stepped forward to stop him: "Didn't you say you didn't need me to arrange a woman for you? How did you get married? I planned to be single for the rest of my life, and you told me I was getting married?"
"Oh, single forever?" Jiang Yue sneered: "Why, aren't you already talking about marriage, but still single?" As he spoke, he opened the door and stepped in.
Wen Yao is now certain that he knows her, otherwise he would not pay attention to her.
She followed him inside and found that the lights were off. It didn't look like anyone was waiting for him to come home. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she replied, "I didn't. It was... I was confused for a moment. Anyway, I decided yesterday that I would be single for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect you to be here all the time."
With a snap, the lights in the room turned on. Jiang Yue looked at her with anger in his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Are you confused for a moment? Wen Yao, if you were to start dating and looking for a man five years from now, ten years from now, or even three years from now, I wouldn't blame you, but you're doing it a year from now!"
"Only one year after being apart from me, you can't wait to find someone new, so I have never been in your heart, right? Or are you born amorous and can fall in love with everyone you meet and forget everyone you fall in love with!" He almost roared at the end.
Wen Yao's eyes turned red with grievance, and then she realized the implication behind his words and immediately asked, "You mean, you came here a year after I left? But you never showed up in front of me?"
Jiang Yue heard the blame in her words and asked, "Why am I in front of you? To make you break up with your first love? No, Wen Yao, I'm not as desperate as you think."
There was a coldness in his words, but Wen Yao knew that was not the case.
If he really didn't want to be with her, he wouldn't appear so frequently downstairs in her community, nor would he appear in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She now believes that he deliberately appeared there and let her see his face just to prevent her and Xiao Yunfang from getting a marriage certificate.
"You don't have to be with me, but I have to be with you. I will only marry one person in my life, and that's you. If you don't show up or ignore me, I will live like this for the rest of my life." She said slowly.
Jiang Yue remained silent, just staring at her. Just when she wanted to explain further, he suddenly pulled her in front of him and kissed her fiercely.
At this moment, three years of longing broke through the shackles of the heart and surged out. The feelings between them were self-evident. Wen Yao hugged his neck and stood on tiptoe to reach him.
He pressed her against the wall, and then, feeling that wasn't enough, he picked her up and kicked open the bedroom door.
Wen Yao saw the furnishings in the bedroom. The curtains and bedding were very monotonous and simple. There was almost only one table lamp in the entire room. It was as clean as a model room. It was obviously the room of a sophisticated single man. His talk of being married was all nonsense.
She hugged him with peace of mind, indulging in his wildness and rudeness.
Later, the wildness was replaced by full tenderness. He seemed to have lost his anger, his brows relaxed, and kisses fell densely on her face and shoulders.
…
In the middle of the night, he stopped and looked at her quietly.
Then he asked slowly, "You haven't done it with him?"
There was no longer any coldness, sarcasm or anger in his tone, but a hint of gentleness in his calmness.
Wen Yao turned her head away: "He and I really just helped me when I was most sad, and then it happened unknowingly. He didn't force me, and I... I was wrong. I really wanted to forget you at the beginning, but I didn't know how to tell him..."
Then he immediately explained: "But then I thought it through. I told him yesterday that I couldn't marry him, and I'm not planning to get married today. Believe me."
Jiang Yue remained silent. Wen Yao decided to play offense and defense, asking him, "Then why didn't you come to see me when you were clearly here? You made me think I would never see you again."
Jiang Yue said sullenly, "When I came here, I knew nothing about this world and was penniless. It was very difficult to find you, but I discovered that you were already with Xiao Yunfang, so I decided not to appear in front of you again.
"Until I have established myself in this world and feel that I can live a comfortable life, I find that I still think of you."
He didn't say the rest, but she could guess it.
He began to appear near her, but he always saw her with Xiao Yunfang, not to mention that their wedding was approaching.
His pride and arrogance made it impossible for him to seek her favor, but he couldn't let it go, so he looked at her from a distance.
Then he knew they were going to get married, and he couldn't accept it. Finally, he decided to appear in front of her to see her attitude. Fortunately, she found him.
Wen Yao hugged him tightly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Of course you're wrong."
Just then, Wen Yao's cell phone rang.
They both looked at the bedside table at the same time, and Jiang Yue handed her the phone.
Seeing that it was her mother, Wen Yao said "hush" to Jiang Yue and then answered the phone.
"Yaoyao, what have you been doing? Why haven't you come back yet? And your Aunt Zhao said Xiao Yunfang said you wouldn't get married. What's going on? Tell me clearly, where are you?"
Wen Yao was almost unable to cope with the barrage of questions. She glanced at Jiang Yue and said with embarrassment, "Well... I'll tell you in detail when I get back..."
"So this is really happening? Are you being stubborn? If I don't care about you, you're going to go to hell, right? Tell me where you are and I'll come find you right now. I want to see what you want!"
Wen Yao could hear her mother's rage on the phone, so she quickly tried to persuade her, "No, no, no, you don't have to come look for me. I'll be back right away. Wait, I'll be there soon, maybe just... half an hour..."
"Half an hour? Where the hell have you been? I give you ten minutes to come back. If you're even a minute late, I'll break your legs! You're so lawless and outrageous..." Mother Wen was still scolding her. Wen Yao had no choice but to hang up the phone and immediately put on her clothes in a hurry.
Jiang Yue said calmly: "Don't worry, it's only 20 minutes from here to your house. I'll drive you."
"No, my mother will definitely be watching me on the balcony, and she will find you then."
Jiang Yue looked at her intimidatingly: "What do you mean? You're not going to tell your mother that you and Xiao Yunfang broke off your engagement just to marry me?"
"Ah?" Wen Yao hadn't thought that far, so she had to explain, "Isn't it...one thing at a time? I'll first explain to him why I can't marry Xiao Yunfang."
Jiang Yue replied, "She won't listen to your explanation unless you bring a man who is better than Xiao Yunfang to her and tell her that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in."
Wen Yao always felt that "a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in" was not a good saying, but he used it on her.
Jiang Yue had already put on his clothes.
It wasn't until before getting in the car that Wen Yao remembered and asked him, "What if my mother doesn't think you are better than Xiao Yunfang?"
Jiang Yue snorted lightly: "That proves that her vision is problematic."
"No, can you change your condescending attitude? My mother won't like you doing this." Wen Yao said worriedly.
Jiang Yue didn't care: "I don't need her to like it. Telling her is just to inform her, not to ask for her consent."
The car started, leaving the night of Binjiang City behind quickly. Wen Yao looked at the scenery outside the car and always felt that there was a tough battle to be fought between Jiang Yue and her mother.
But... never mind. It's good to have him around. It's like even the road at night has become brighter.
