"Yes, my husband is coming home today." Thinking of that person, Wen Yixing's eyes softened involuntarily. "He has a bad stomach and doesn't like the food the housekeeper makes, so I usually cook for him at home."
The shop assistant exclaimed in surprise, "Your husband must be incredibly lucky!"
Not long after, the rain stopped.
Wen Yixing estimated that it was about time. She looked down and tidied up the bag of vegetables at her feet. Some of the vegetables were broken and she wondered if it would affect the taste.
Just as Wen Yixing got up to leave, two young girls carrying backpacks came in and sat down next to her, excitedly discussing something on their phones.
Wen Yixing wasn't very interested in other people's affairs.
Before she could even get up, Wen Yixing heard a familiar name from the little girl.
"It's Fang Shiyan!"
"The special guest for this show is none other than award-winning actor Fang Shiyan!!"
"Our movie star hasn't attended any events in ages! His sudden appearance on this variety show must be for Jiang Ruyue!! We're totally shipping them!"
"Have you seen that blogger's post? I heard that Jiang Ruyue and Fang Shiyan were high school classmates, and they were each other's first love!"
"It's so sweet! Ahhhhh!"
The coffee shop was quiet. Although the two girls tried their best to keep their voices down, Wen Yixing could hear everything they were saying.
Wen Yixing didn't even know how she turned on her phone. By the time she came to her senses, her phone, which was on the table, had already started playing footage of Fang Shiyan and Jiang Ruyue on a variety show.
Others may not know, but Wen Yixing, who had a crush on Fang Shiyan since high school, knew it all.
Jiang Ruyue is Fang Shiyan's first love and white moonlight. They were together in high school, and Fang Shiyan has never forgotten Jiang Ruyue all these years.
That year, Jiang Ruyue broke up with him and ran away abroad without a word. Fang Shiyan got drunk and almost died in that dark alley. Later, she carried Fang Shiyan to the hospital and stayed with him for a long, long time.
Now, Jiang Ruyue is back.
Perhaps it was just a word from Jiang Ruyue that made Fang Shiyan abandon his work and participate in a variety show he didn't like.
Watching the interaction between the two people on the phone screen, Wen Yixing felt a splitting pain in her mind, followed by a flood of strange memories.
Two girls were happily discussing gossip in the entertainment industry when one of them sensed something was wrong. She turned around and saw a pale-faced woman packing her things with her head down.
The woman was dressed plainly and not particularly well-groomed. She carried a white cloth bag and looked like a nanny who had come out to buy groceries.
The girl didn't pay much attention and looked away.
She had no idea that the plainly dressed woman in her eyes was the real wife of the movie star Fang Shiyan, whom they were talking about.
--
When Fang Shiyan returned home, his nanny, Aunt Li, came over to help him get his clothes.
Logically, he should be able to smell the aroma of food as soon as he gets home, but not this time.
The living room was quiet; there was no one else there except Aunt Li.
He didn't pay much attention, and didn't even ask a question, remaining as taciturn as usual.
Aunt Li, however, couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke up, saying, "Sir, Madam isn't feeling well today and is resting in her room."
Upon hearing the word "wife," Fang Shiyan's refined face showed a hint of impatience. He rubbed his temples and instructed, "My mother will be coming over for dinner later. Go and tell her."
Fang Shiyan's mother is just as picky as Fang Shiyan. Although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, Fang Shiyan's mother still likes Wen Yixing's cooking skills.
Aunt Li naturally understood what Fang Shiyan meant when he said that, and she replied, "Yes, sir."
"When will Yao Yao be back?" Fang Shiyan asked.
Aunt Li checked the time: "Butler Wang went to pick up the young master, he should be back in about half an hour."
While the two were chatting, Aunt Li saw something slip out of Fang Shiyan's clothes. She was about to bend down to pick it up, but Fang Shiyan was faster than her.
He picked it up, carefully wiped it, and then quietly held it in his palm.
Aunt Li could see clearly that Fang Shiyan was holding a woman's pearl earring.
However, the lady of the house almost never wears earrings.
