Chapter Thirty-Four
The young man was about the same age as Wen Yixing, and he was dressed like a recent college graduate.
Nanhe recognized him immediately.
He didn't know the young man's name, but he knew that this person liked Wen Yixing.
Actually, they first met backstage at an event. He had just debuted and was participating in a brand's event. While resting backstage, he saw a man wearing a black windbreaker carrying boxes.
At that moment, Wen Yixing was helping him organize his performance costume. As he passed by that person, he noticed that the person was looking at Wen Yixing beside him.
Only after noticing his gaze did the other person look at him.
The man's gaze carried a natural ruthlessness, a look that Nanhe disliked.
As a man himself, he could naturally see the probing and hostility in the other man's eyes when he looked at him.
Nanhe was certain at the time that this man liked Wen Yixing.
He was a little worried that Wen Yixing would get entangled with such a man, after all, this man looked strong and not someone to be trifled with.
He observed the person anxiously for several days, only to find that the person never appeared again.
Later, after Wen Yixing got married, she resigned from the company and disappeared from his life.
A few years later, when he saw that young man in the windbreaker again, he had transformed from a down-on-his-luck youth into President Shen of Xingchen Group, a rising star in the business world, and the absolute head of the Shen family.
Nanhe didn't know if Shen Jingshao still remembered him, but he always found himself inquiring about Shen Jingshao's whereabouts.
At first, he wondered if Wen Yixing's sudden resignation and marriage was related to Shen Jingshao, but soon he realized that his idea was wrong and that Wen Yixing's marriage partner was not him.
As the president of Xingchen Group, Shen Jingshao is considered a semi-public figure, so it's not difficult to find out about him.
Nanhe knew that Shen Jingshao was thirty years old but had never married, and not only that, he didn't even have a woman by his side.
Over the years, Nanhe has experienced many things in the entertainment industry, and he is no longer the naive seventeen-year-old boy he once was.
Under the dim lights of the restaurant, Nanhe looked at Wen Yixing and asked, "Your marriage partner is someone in the entertainment industry, right?"
Wen Yixing didn't hide anything, she said, "I guess so."
“However…” Wen Yixing looked down at the unfinished dessert on the plate and said, “It won’t be like that soon.”
Nanhe was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something. He stared at her, and in the quiet room, he seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating rapidly.
He deliberately asked in a low voice, "What?"
Wen Yixing looked up, the light reflecting into her beautiful eyes. "I'm planning to get a divorce."
——
That evening, Nanhe drove Wen Yixing to her neighborhood.
Nanhe is actually quite familiar with this place. It is a well-known wealthy area in Beijing, and several of Nanhe's friends in the entertainment industry live nearby.
Seeing Wen Yixing bending down to unbuckle her seatbelt, Nanhe also reached for his own. "Shall I take you inside?"
Looking at Nanhe's highly recognizable face, Wen Yixing smiled and replied, "No need, I'll walk back myself. I didn't go to the gym today, so walking back will be my workout."
Many celebrities live in the vicinity of Wen Yixing, and Wen Yixing is worried that Nanhe will be recognized or photographed by paparazzi in the neighborhood.
Before Wen Yixing could speak again, Nanhe had already deftly opened the car door.
He got out of the car, then walked over and opened the car door for her.
Seeing her somewhat stunned expression as she sat in the car, Nanhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't see you off. I just wanted to talk to you for a while."
Wen Yixing picked up her bag and got out of the car.
It's 11 p.m. It rained this afternoon, so the ground is wet and the air is a bit humid at night.
Wen Yixing was only wearing a thin shirt today, and she clearly felt a bit cold after getting off the bus.
Seeing that she was dressed so lightly, Nanhe asked, "Aren't you cold?"
Wen Yixing said truthfully, "It is a little cold, but it's okay, we'll be home soon."
"Wait a minute." Nanhe bent down and took a jacket from the back seat of the car. "You can wear this for now."
Seeing that Wen Yixing didn't move, Nanhe paused for a moment and then said, "This is new, I've never worn it before."
"That's not what I meant." Wen Yixing looked at Nanhe. "There are other people at home, so it wouldn't be appropriate."
Even if Fang Shiyan wasn't home, there were security cameras and maids at home, and it would still be inappropriate for someone to see her coming home wearing another man's coat.
"Alright then." Nanhe understood her concerns. "You should go back now, it's very cold outside."
"Okay." Wen Yixing smiled, "I'll walk faster later so I won't be cold."
Wen Yixing waved to him: "Then I'm leaving. You should go back early too, and be careful on the road."
Even after all these years, she's still the same, always reminding him to be careful.
Nanhe really wanted to tell her that he had grown up and was no longer the ignorant seventeen-year-old boy he used to be.
Before he could even speak, Nanhe noticed something amiss with the tree branch ahead.
Nanhe frowned. He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and grabbed Wen Yixing's wrist, pulling her in front of the car to block her view.
Wen Yixing was bewildered by Nanhe's behavior, but she quickly recovered, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are there paparazzi?"
Nanhe took off his hat and put it on Wen Yixing's head. "Hmm."
His hat was a bit too big; once Wen Yixing put it on, everyone else could only see her nose and mouth.
