Cao Yuhan quickly explained, “No, no, no. All she can think about is love. As long as she’s willing to get back together with me, she definitely won’t look into the past. Besides, you dealt with it so cleanly back then, she might not be able to find anything.”
Xue Na calmed down. She felt that what Cao Yuhan said was not unreasonable. She told him to be careful and not give himself away. Then, she left with her bodyguards.
She had to go back and prepare for the collaboration with Song Empire. The collaboration project needed to be carefully considered.
…
Song Nuanyi hung up the phone and returned her coat to Assistant Chen. “Send me back.”
The wind was rising and the sun was about to set. The day was getting shorter.
On the way back, Assistant Chen could not help but ask Song Nuanyi, “Director Song, why did you agree to Cao Yuhan’s request? Could it be that you really…”
Song Nuanyi smiled bitterly. “Do I look like such a stupid person to you?”
“But,” Assistant Chen hesitated. “Director Wu will find out about this sooner or later.”
If Wu Chenjin found out about it, their marriage would definitely go wrong.
After spending so much time together, Assistant Chen could tell that Wu Chenjin was sincere towards Song Nuanyi.
Back in Alberto City, Song Nuanyi had asked him to investigate the matter of Elder Song’s illness and Cao Yuhan’s fake contract. He had also discovered the Xue family’s hostility towards the Song family.
Ever since she had come to the Capital, Song Nuanyi had visited almost all the prominent entrepreneurs in the Capital, but she had never visited the Xue family.
He had always thought that Song Nuanyi had deliberately avoided the Xue family because of the matter in Alberto City. They did not want to have anything to do with the Xue family anymore. Even if they wanted to cooperate with the Xue family, with the Song family’s current status and Song Nuanyi’s ability, they would definitely be able to negotiate. Why would they need to drag Cao Yuhan, who had betrayed them, into the situation?
Song Nuanyi’s eyelashes closed slightly. She leaned back, trying to relax. She did not answer Assistant Chen’s question, but fell into deep thought.
Yes, Wu Chenjin would find out sooner or later.
What could she do to make Wu Chenjin believe in her?
In her two lifetimes, she had walked alone for too long. She had forgotten how to share her feelings with others. She had been too long to know how to trust others and express her innermost feelings.
At this moment, Wu Chenjin was staring at the gossip about the jewelry shop on the screen. He sat alone for a very, very long time.
The computer screen lit up and went off again and again.
Uncle Zhang had followed him for seven or eight years, but he had never seen him so absent-minded. Even when he found out that his sister had passed away, he was still heartbroken. It was hatred and sadness, not such a powerless and dejected look.
More than half a day had passed. Uncle Zhang came in with a cup of coffee and helped him close his computer.
“Don’t look at it. If you really can’t figure it out, you might as well ask her.”
Wu Chenjin raised his head. His gaze was a little absent-minded. He pursed his lips and asked with some difficulty, “Can I really ask her?”
If he did, the answer was not what he wanted. What should he do?
Seeing that the engagement was coming, he would not allow anyone to ruin it. Even if Song Nuanyi was really bewitched by Cao Yuhan and turned back, he would never let go.
Back then, she was the one who provoked him first.
When he first came to Alberto City, Wu Chenjin had nothing. He had to take care of Wu Zifei and run around doing business. Because he did not have a background and his education was still shallow, many people were not willing to listen to his pitches.
He held the project book that had been rejected countless times and walked on the road in despair. The traffic on the street did not care about him at all. It rolled up the cold mud and whistled past him.
At that time, he felt that he could not see the way forward. He felt that the world was forcing him to walk down a dead end until Song Nuanyi appeared.
She held a transparent umbrella and wore a light blue dress. The wind and rain were merciless, but she seemed to be favored by the world. She was still beautiful and moving.
Her footsteps stopped in front of him, and the umbrella covered his head. This was the only safe haven when he was feeling discouraged.
From then on, the girl holding the transparent umbrella on a rainy night was like the white moonlight, deeply engraved in Wu Chenjin’s heart.
Song Nuanyi did not remember that she had accidentally helped him.
He was covered in mud, and his wet hair hung low. She did not even want to raise her head for a long time. How could Song Nuanyi remember such a down-and-out person? She left the umbrella to him and got into Cao Yuhan’s car to leave in a hurry.
Thinking back to the past, he spent most of his time in the distance, quietly watching Song Nuanyi and Cao Yuhan, watching the girl he loved sacrifice for another man.
Now that he suddenly had Song Nuanyi, he was terrified and cautious.
He and Song Nuanyi had never said ‘I love you’ to each other. It seemed that Song Nuanyi was the reason why they were able to get to where they were today.
He raised his head and drank the coffee in his hand. He muttered, “Song Nuanyi, what role do I play in your plan?”
