"Still no news, Mother. This marriage with the Lin family is off. It's getting late, you should go back and rest." Gu Yunting said, standing up.
"You're so eager to get rid of me? Can't I stay here tonight?" Madam Gu snorted, her mood extremely foul.
"I'm afraid you'll have nightmares if you stay. I'll see you out." Gu Yunting said, walking over to personally help his mother into her wheelchair.
Madam Gu's gaze swept over Ye Wan, and she said, "A Ting, I can overlook other things and let you do as you please, but your marriage is my decision!"
Ye Wan lowered her head, not daring to meet Madam Gu's eyes. Her gaze was truly chilling.
"I understand, Mother." Gu Yunting replied obediently, pushing his mother away.
When everyone had left, Ye Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a face appeared beside her, startling her. She turned to see Jiang Jingxiu's handsome face.
"Little Wan Ye, was today's drama wonderful?"
"Did you two know about it beforehand?" Ye Wan asked him, full of curiosity.
"Of course. You think you can play tricks on Brother Ting without being good enough?" Jiang Jingxiu scoffed dismissively.
"You... you watched Lin Feiwei give him one green hat after another." Ye Wan found men strange sometimes. Was wearing a green hat so much fun? Not only did they stand by, but they also recorded the evidence.
Jiang Jingxiu coughed violently at her words, almost choking on his own saliva. What kind of talk was that?
Ye Wan suddenly realized that if the engagement between Gu Yunting and Lin Feiwei was off, did that mean her plan to move out was also dashed?
Her mood suddenly soured. She had thought she saw hope, only for it to be shattered so quickly... It was truly exasperating!
Ye Wan got up with a displeased expression and returned to her room. Jiang Jingxiu looked at her, bewildered, wondering what was wrong with her now. Why did she seem unhappy that Lin Feiwei and Brother Ting's marriage had fallen through?
Shouldn't she be happy?
Gu Yunting returned after seeing his mother off and didn't see Ye Wan. He frowned slightly, recalling Ye Wan's reaction just now.
"Why does it seem like Ye Wan is unhappy that your engagement with Lin Feiwei is off?" Jiang Jingxiu asked, genuinely confused, and blurted it out.
After he asked, he saw Gu Yunting's expression darken further.
Jiang Jingxiu cursed inwardly and hurriedly said, "Brother, I just remembered I have a date tonight. I'll be going now."
He then slipped away, leaving Gu Yunting standing alone, his handsome face a mask of shifting emotions!
No matter what she thought, she would never leave him!
As Jiang Jingxiu drove away, he called Jin Lan. He really couldn't understand why Ye Wan was unhappy. He thought Jin Lan, being more familiar with Ye Wan, might know. However, after five calls, Jin Lan didn't answer.
Jiang Jingxiu cursed inwardly again. What was going on with Jin Lan today? Did he have a girlfriend? He used to always answer Jin Lan's calls. Because he was a doctor, Jin Lan always kept his phone on him, never turning it off or silencing it.
...
While Ye Wan was showering, she looked at the ring on her hand again. She tried to take it off again, but failed. After showering and blow-drying her hair, she thought about how her plan to live with her brother had fallen through and felt dejected.
She leaned on the bed and picked up her laptop. She modified a previous translation file. Today, Jun Li Chen had also pointed out a few details she had overlooked.
