Chapter 407: The Hardest Goodbye
All was quiet. A light breeze stirred the hot air.
Wen Nuan was on the verge of tears, her face a picture of self-loathing.
"This isn’t your fault. When Yueying wants to go after someone, no one can escape. It’s our mistake for letting her learn this witchcraft. She’s caused a lot of trouble this time, and I won’t let her get away with it. Don’t worry, I’ll make her answer for what she did, unless she never comes back home." A hint of malice passed through Dudi’s voice. Wen Nuan’s lips parted, as if she were about to say something, but she said nothing in the end.
Du Yueying... she likes Dudi, doesn’t she?
She likes her own brother, so when she found out that Wen Nuan was Dudi’s fiancée, she couldn’t control herself and went after her.
Wen Nuan sneered. Witchcraft?
Dudi glanced at Wen Nuan. He didn’t say anything else.
The two of them sat in the park until four in the afternoon. Wen Nuan got up to leave. Dudi said, "Wen Nuan, listen to your heart sometimes. Don’t make a decision you’ll regret."
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded. He offered to drive her home. By the river, Wen Nuan asked Dudi to stop. She wanted to walk by herself. Dudi didn’t force her and let her out of the car.
Wen Nuan walked alone along the river. The sun was scorching. Not many people were by the river at this time. There were only a few high school students skateboarding. Wen Nuan looked at their familiar bench from a distance and smiled slightly.
This place holds so many memories.
The sun was beautiful today. Looking at the tall buildings on the other side of the river, her heart was unusually calm.
Feimo...
I don’t blame you.
I just can’t face you.
Two high school students passed by and casually threw a newspaper into a trash can. The wind caught it and it flew to Wen Nuan’s feet. She picked it up and saw that it was an old newspaper from Green Light Daily, from the day after the incident. The entire front page was about her scandal. The newspaper was sensational and said some terrible things. Her reputation had plummeted.
She hadn’t checked her website or her social media in a long time. She knew there would be a lot of horrible things being said.
Now, her reputation was tarnished.
If she hadn’t been Ye Feimo’s wife or a daughter-in-law of the Ye family, and if the Ye family hadn’t stepped in, she probably would have been completely ruined and never would have been able to recover. The entertainment industry is a cruel place.
The media can build you up and they can tear you down.
The media had written a very captivating story. The edited video and the hotel photos made her think that the person in the article was a rebellious and stupid woman. If she thought that herself, how could she blame others?
Wen Nuan folded the newspaper and put it aside.
The ups and downs, like the ebb and flow of the tides, no longer mattered to her.
Compared to losing her baby, a scandal was a small thing.
Now, looking at it, she felt nothing.
Cai Xiaojing had told her that Han Bi had mysteriously disappeared. Wen Nuan thought that someone had probably taken her, or she had left A City and was not coming back. She knew better than anyone that Han Bi was just an accomplice. The person who really wanted to go after her was Du Yueying, not Han Bi.
By the time she got home, it was six o’clock.
Cheng Anya was in the living room chatting with Wen Nuan’s parents. When she saw her return, Cheng Anya was very happy. Wen Nuan was no longer as quiet as she had been in the past few days. She greeted them, and when she didn’t see Ye Feimo, she was visibly relieved.
"You’ve been out all day. Are you tired? Do you want something to eat?" Wen Nuan’s mother asked with concern. Wen Nuan smiled and shook her head. "I’m not tired. I was just getting some fresh air."
Cheng Anya said, "You love Europe. How about I go with you to take a trip there to get some fresh air?"
Wen Nuan shook her head, smiling. "Mom, no need. I’m fine. Oh, I’m going to go upstairs first. I’ll come down for dinner in a little while."
"Okay, okay!" Wen Nuan’s mother was overjoyed. Cheng Anya looked down and thought. Who did Wen Nuan see? She had changed completely. All the sadness from the past few days was gone. She had a bad feeling and couldn’t help but look upstairs.
As soon as Wen Nuan entered the room, she saw Ye Feimo lying on her bed. She was a little stunned. She thought only Cheng Anya had come today and that Ye Feimo hadn’t. She didn’t expect him to be there.
He was holding something in his hand, as if it was very precious. Wen Nuan walked over out of curiosity and saw that it was a small phone charm.
She was visibly taken aback. Before the incident, they were watching a drama together. Wen Nuan really liked the phone charm the female lead had. It was very unique, with the initials of the male and female leads’ English names linked together and a four-leaf clover at the end.
She had instantly fallen in love with it. She had asked Ye Feimo where she could buy one. Later, she found out that it was a custom-made charm for the show. She could find similar ones in stores, but not the exact same one.
Wen Nuan was disappointed...
She never expected to see that phone charm in his hand.
Wen Nuan took a deep breath. She suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and her nose was stinging. Just as she was about to escape the room, Ye Feimo heard her movements and opened his eyes. Wen Nuan turned her head away. He thought she was going to leave, so he got up quickly from the bed and hugged her from behind.
"Don’t go..."
He had a terrible dream. In the dream, Wen Nuan said some very cruel things and then turned around and left, never to return, leaving him alone in a cold world, feeling like he would rather be dead.
He greedily inhaled her familiar scent. He was almost begging as he held her, not allowing her to leave him, to leave his world, to leave his sight.
He was holding her so tightly that he was almost cutting off her waist.
Wen Nuan bit her lip and said softly, "Let go!"
Ye Feimo’s body stiffened. After so many days, she had finally spoken to him, but the first thing she said was for him to let go. He didn’t want to. He didn’t dare to. At this moment, she was like a butterfly about to take flight. If he let go, she might leave forever.
He was scared.
He had never been afraid of anything in his life. He was only afraid that she would leave him.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." Ye Feimo kept saying sorry. Wen Nuan’s eyes turned red, but she hardened her heart and didn’t say a word. Ye Feimo grabbed her shoulders and said almost pleadingly, "Give me one more chance, okay?"
Just one more chance. He wouldn’t disappoint her again.
Wen Nuan looked at him. One more chance?
But who would give their baby one more chance?
She hadn’t had a choice since she was born.
Wen Nuan’s heart was aching. The Ye Feimo she knew was always arrogant, cold, dominant, and calculating. He was very forceful and stubborn. Every time they argued, she was the one who always made the first move to make up. He had never once shown weakness.
But they had no more chances.
Wen Nuan hardened her heart and said coldly, "I give you one more chance. Who will give our baby one more chance?"
