Wen Nuan locked herself in the study and painted for a day.
The result of forcing herself to be involved was that she was too involved in the process. She even forgot to see Wenrou off to the airport. When she finally realized something was wrong, a whole day had passed and the sun had already set. Filled with regret, she quickly called Wenrou, and unsurprisingly heard that the other party's phone was turned off.
She walked from the study to the living room, where there was nothing to do. She then walked to the kitchen, where there was still nothing to do. She walked back to the living room, her heart and mind were empty, and she didn't know what to do. Finally, she walked into the bedroom and threw herself on the bed.
"Come to me."
These words lingered in her mind all day.
She didn't understand, how could she get to him? She had already let him know that she always loved him and that it had never changed, wasn't that enough
Why wasn't that enough? What did he want from her? What did it mean to be by his side
The way he left without even looking back made her feel uneasy, and tomorrow was his wedding day.
She picked up the phone beside her pillow again and again, and put it down again and again.
Suddenly she thought of something, she stood up, opened the drawer, picked up the platinum chain, and hesitantly picked up the plane ticket under the chain. It was a flight to London tomorrow morning. The reason why he came here last night and said those words was... because he already knew that she had booked the ticket
After pondering for a while, she put the plane ticket back to its place, took the chain and went to the study, unsealed the rolled-up paintings, dipped the seal stone in red mud and warm strings, and pressed them on the corners of the paintings one by one, filling in the seals that were missed before.
After printing, she wiped it clean, hung the chain on her chest, and picked up her phone.
Just as she was about to press the dial button, the phone suddenly rang.
At this time, three people were sitting leisurely in the rose box of Jinbi Dynasty. Among them, a handsome man with a strange face was squinting his almond-shaped eyes and listening attentively beside Gao Fang. After Gao Fang finished the call, he asked anxiously, "How is it?"
"She promised to come."
Guan Ti smiled with narrowed eyes, "Juhan, what are you doing? Have you been in America for too long and lost your mind, or has Yang Ying abused you? Why are you so eager to meet the boss's former secretary as soon as you come back? Didn't we agree to celebrate Zhan Meinan's farewell to Wang Laoba tonight?"
How could a person be so evil as to want to watch a good show? But he also wanted to watch it very much.
Ouyang Juhan did not answer but asked, "Have you ever heard Zhan Meinan sing?"
Gao Fang was surprised, "Isn't he known for being tone-deaf?"
Ouyang Juhan sneered, "The official statements are all lies. His singing voice is simply heavenly."
Guan Ti looked at him suspiciously, "Is this true? Over the years, no matter if it was a company celebration party or a drinking party, many beautiful women have pulled his sleeves to sing with him under the pretext of drunkenness, but he always declined. The whole world knows that his catchphrase is 'I can pay the bill, but I must not make a fool of myself by singing.'"
"Of course it's true. I heard it once. He could sing Without You even more movingly than Harry Nilsson. It was like a whisper, low and sad. It was really heart-stirring."
"What does that have to do with warmth?" Gao asked.
"To be honest, I don't know what the relationship is." Ouyang Juhan spread her hands and said, "But I heard him singing when I was a freshman. It was probably not long after his father passed away. One day he came back from outside and looked completely lost. You were not in the dormitory, so I was the only one drinking with him in the playground. He started singing while drinking. He didn't cry at all, but every word he sang made me feel that he was so sad that he didn't want to live anymore. It made my nose sore and I thought he had broken up with Bo Yixin. Who knew he said something to himself after he finished singing."
