Wen Yixing was sitting on Shen Jingshao's lap, still angry, when her phone suddenly vibrated.
Shen Jingshao reached out and handed her the phone, which displayed Fang Shiyan's name on the screen.
Wen Yixing took the phone and checked the time. It was around 6:10. Fang Shiyan had arrived 20 minutes early.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Yixing pressed the answer button.
This time, Shen Jingshao didn't cause any trouble; he simply looked at her and listened to her speak quietly.
"You've arrived?"
"Yes, walk straight ahead, then turn left, it's behind the coffee shop."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yixing slowly got up, sat down next to Shen Jingshao, and took out a cushion to cover the marks on her neck.
The cushion foundation doesn't offer much coverage. It can cover the light marks on the collarbone, but the marks on the neck are deeper and can't be completely covered.
However, unless you're very close, it shouldn't be noticeable.
"I'll get it for you."
Seeing that she was having trouble setting it up herself, Shen Jingshao was about to take it from her when Wen Yixing closed the air cushion, saying, "This will do."
Wen Yixing glanced outside and whispered, "He's coming soon, I'll go downstairs first."
Shen Jingshao nodded: "Mm."
Wen Yixing stood near the car without going far. Shortly after she got out of the car, she saw a person wearing a mask walking over from a distance.
Fang Shiyan came alone; there was no one with him.
Perhaps because he had just been trending on social media, he was keeping a low profile today, wearing a hat and a mask.
Fang Shiyan saw Wen Yixing from a distance. She was wearing a light purple dress and was standing not far away waiting for him.
The setting sun melts into gold.
A gentle breeze blew by, and her skirt swayed slightly.
In a daze, Fang Shiyan felt as if he had returned to his high school years, when there was always such a gentle figure following him.
The moment I saw her, it felt as if the missing piece in my heart had finally been filled.
Fang Shiyan couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Wen Yixing didn't move until Fang Shiyan walked over to her.
In fact, Wen Yixing did not want to see Fang Shiyan again unless it was absolutely necessary.
Because he was outside, Fang Shiyan was wearing a mask, so Wen Yixing couldn't tell how he was doing. However, he had dark circles under his eyes and looked somewhat tired.
When the two met, neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.
Finally, Fang Shiyan spoke first, asking softly, "How have you been these past few days?"
Wen Yixing looked up at him and said, "I'm doing very well, and Yao Yao is doing well too. You don't need to worry."
Fang Shiyan paused for a moment before saying, "That's good."
Wen Yixing asked directly, "Did you ask me to meet you for something?"
Her tone was polite but distant, even sounding somewhat cold.
In Fang Shiyan's memory, she rarely spoke to him like that.
Fang Shiyan lowered his eyelashes, remained silent for two seconds, and then said softly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see how you are doing."
"I'm fine now." Wen Yixing said in a businesslike manner, "I called you here today because I wanted to talk to you in person about Yao Yao."
“I saw the trending topics today. I don’t know what happened between you and Jiang Ruyue, and I don’t care. But I hope you won’t involve the child.”
Wen Yixing stared at Fang Shiyan, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seeming to gradually freeze over.
"Yaoyao is also your child. We had discussed this before the divorce. It's not that I don't have evidence against you. The reason I didn't expose your secret marriage online wasn't for your future, but for the sake of the child."
"I think you should know how important Yao Yao is to me," Wen Yixing said calmly. "I also hope that as his father, you can give him a quiet environment to grow up in, is that alright?"
Fang Shiyan didn't say a word. He looked at Wen Yixing, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him, and felt a dryness in his throat and an indescribable sadness in his heart.
After a long pause, Fang Shiyan finally spoke up to explain, "I know, I'll handle things online, don't worry."
“Yaoyao is also my child, and I don’t want him to get hurt either.”
Upon hearing Fang Shiyan's words, Wen Yixing nodded and said softly, "I hope you will keep your word."
Fang Shiyan: "How is Yao Yao now? Is he on vacation?"
Wen Yixing: "Release them."
Fang Shiyan: "My mother misses him very much."
Wen Yixing looked up at Fang Shiyan, whose light brown eyes were also quietly looking at her.
Wen Yixing: "You can come and see Yaoyao, but I can't possibly send Yaoyao back to your home."
Wen Yixing has always been very cautious about matters concerning her children.
Seeing her gaze, Fang Shiyan paused, "That's not what I meant."
Cars were still passing by nearby. Fang Shiyan had been frequently photographed by paparazzi lately. He looked back, cautiously took a step forward, and blocked Wen Yixing's face.
Wen Yixing didn't want to get too close to him, so she took a step back.
This wasn't a good place to talk, so Fang Shiyan invited, "Shall we have dinner together?"
Wen Yixing: "Yaoyao is still waiting for me, I'm going home to eat."
Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Wen Yixing didn't intend to waste any more time with Fang Shiyan.
"Is there anything else?" Wen Yixing asked. "If not, let's call it a day."
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Fang Shiyan subconsciously reached out to grab her hand.
His fingertips were a little cool. The moment she touched him, Wen Yixing immediately withdrew her hand, frowned, and looked up at Fang Shiyan: "What are you doing?"
