Upon seeing that it was him, she quickened her pace and tried to walk away as quickly as possible, but he ultimately still caught up with her.
This was the first time Mu Wansheng was seeing him ever since they broke up over the phone.
“Wansheng, where have you been these two years?”
“What has this got to do with you?” Mu Wansheng’s lips curled into a sneer as she asked, “The last time I saw you, you were at the hospital with this girl getting an abortion. I didn’t think that when I see you again, the two of you would still be together. Are the two of you married?”
“No.”
“Oh, you should marry her soon. It seems like this girl is very into you.”
“Wansheng… actually, I haven’t forgotten you. I went to the Mu residence to find you a few times, but I didn’t see you.”
“Don’t say such things, I feel a bit disgusted.” Seeing that the girl across the road was rushing over as well, Mu Wansheng did not bother talking to him any longer and turned to leave.
Little did she expect that Zuo Xingwei would grab her arm and ask, “Wansheng, what’s your number?”
Mu Wansheng harshly shook his hand off of her arm and replied, “Don’t touch me. Zuo Xingwei, we’ve long ended our relationship already. The day I broke up with you, I’d thoroughly given up on you already. I don’t wish to have any contact with you anymore, don’t ask for a snub.”
Zuo Xingwei stood there rooted to the ground as he watched her figure recede.
“Look further and I’ll dig out your eyeballs! I forbid you to look at her any further!” His girlfriend, Gao Manchun, hollered at him feistily.
Zuo Xingwei turned to leave while his girlfriend chased after him and asked, “Do you regret getting together with me? Do you still like her?”
“Can you give it a rest and shut up?”
“You…” Gao Manchun scoffed coldly. “Even if you haven’t given up on her, you don’t stand a chance already. The news has already reported today that Mu Wansheng’s getting engaged to the Luo family’s son tomorrow.”
Zuo Xingwei’s face changed as he asked, “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? It’s on the news already. Their engagement ceremony will be taking place tomorrow. She’s going to get married soon, and her fiance’s family is so rich. Would she take a fancy to a poor chap like you?”
He hurriedly fished out his phone and searched the news about Mu Wansheng online. It turned out that what his girlfriend had said was true.
Seeing the state he was in, Gao Manchun furiously remarked, “If you still can’t forget her, then let’s break up. Don’t act like such a saint. If you really loved her so much, would you have slept with me and got me pregnant back then?”
“…”
——
Even when the sky was about to turn dark, Mu Wansheng did not have the intention of returning home.
She did not want to go back.
But she didn’t know where else she could go either. As she walked on, she actually arrived at the front gate of Jin Qingyan’s house in Wei Ni Estate.
Looking at the front gate, Mu Wansheng was suddenly flustered. When she recovered from her trance, she turned and walked a few steps away, but the front gate opened just then.
Xiao Bai ran toward her cheerily and said, “Ms. Mu, it’s really you! I thought I mistook you for someone else on the surveillance camera. Why didn’t you knock on the door when you were here?”
Mu Wansheng anxiously replied, “I was just taking a walk casually and somehow arrived here. Err, I’ll be going back first, then.”
“Ms. Mu, why don’t I drive you back?”
“It’s okay, I can hail a taxi from outside the estate. I’ll take my leave first, Xiao Bai.”
Without saying anything further, she briskly walked away.
Xiao Bai had just turned back and gone through the front gate when he ran into Fan Shixin. “Where were you when you were supposed to be on duty?”
“I saw Ms. Mu on the surveillance cameras just now, so I went out to talk to her. She said she just arrived here somehow as she was walking around casually. I asked if she needed a ride home, but she didn’t want one. Chief, I wasn’t even done speaking to her!!!”
“…”
Mu Wansheng had just left the estate when a car pulled over beside her. She fixed her gaze on the person inside and was taken by surprise. “Chief Fan…”
“Hop on.”
Mu Wansheng got into the front passenger seat and her face tensed up.
“Have you eaten?”
She shook head. “Not yet.”
“I haven’t eaten as well. What would you like to eat?”
“Anything’s fine with me.”
His body tilted to the side as he helped her buckle up her safety belt. It was just a simple gesture, but Mu Wansheng rested closely against the seat and did not dare to move an inch at all.
The two then entered a private room of a restaurant together.
Fan Shixin had originally just ordered some dishes, but she remarked, “I want to drink some wine.”
“Were you looking for me at Wei Ni Estate?”
Mu Wansheng said in denial, “Of course not, I was just taking a stroll and I somehow ended up there.”
“A stroll…” He had a faint smile on his face. “Right… I thought you were there to look for me.”
Mu Wansheng lowered her head. “Why would I look for Chief Fan?”
“Aren’t you getting engaged tomorrow? It’s late already, and you’re still wandering around. Won’t your family find fault with you?”
“They’ve called me a few times already, I said I’ll go back after I eat outside.” Mu Wansheng added, “Chief Fan, what exactly do you like about Pingyang?”
“Actually, I intended to break up with her yesterday,” Fan Shixin confessed frankly. “When I went to the hospital, I realized she was having an affair with someone else. I did a brief investigation and found out that she has hooked up with that same man at a hotel around twenty times in the past three months. This cousin of yours has really superb acting skills.”
Hearing him personally reveal such a piece of groundbreaking news, Mu Wansheng asked, “Were you intending to break up with her even before you found out about this?”
“Yes. I think our attitudes in life are too different. We wouldn’t be suited for marriage. Moreover, I don’t like her all that much either. At first, I thought it was because we met each other on a blind date and everything would be fine over time. But it seemed that that wasn’t the case. Never would I have expected such a dramatic thing to happen either.”
“Since that’s the case, you… why didn’t you break up with her and even visited the Mu residence with a gift?”
Fan Shixin stared at her with keen sparkling eyes, “Why do you think I did that?”
Mu Wansheng stared back at him and replied, “I don’t know, why did you?”
“You’ll know in the future.”
….
Throughout the meal, Mu Wansheng did not drink a lot of wine but felt like the whole world was spinning.
“I’ll send you back home.”
“I don’t want to go home.” She turned to look at him. “I want to stay at your place one more night, is that okay?”
“Didn’t you tell your family that you’re going back after eating outside?”
“It’s okay, I’ll tell them that I’m staying over at a hotel.”
He drove back to Wei Ni Estate and brought her to his apartment again.
When the door was closed shut, Mu Wansheng unsteadily arrived at the spare bedroom.
Everything inside the room was the same as how it was when she left. She slumped into the bed and remarked, “It feels great.”
“You should wash up and rest. I need to go back outside.”
“Alright.”
When she heard the door being closed shut, she turned her body over and stared at the ceiling, breaking into a grin.
It would probably be the last time she would be staying in this house and sleeping on this bed, right?
For some reason, she just felt that this house gave her a strong sense of security.
She loved it very much.
After she sat upright on the bed, she began to take off her clothing piece by piece and went into the bathroom.
She then used a rubber band to tie up her hair and started to wash herself after putting on a showercap.
Five minutes later, she had washed her body clean.
She then wiped herself dry and came out of the bathroom completely naked.
