Xu Wennuan quietly said “okay” before quickly closing her eyes.
She found it difficult to relax, as she was obsessed with the two text ssages she had just seen.
Wu Hao quietly sat next to her. Every so often, Xu Wennuan could hear his typing. She didn’t know if he was texting soone or not, but she assu he was—with a “Master Lee.”
She really wanted to ask Wu Hao about the two ssages and if he was even still the guy she used to know.
She didn’t dare to ask him that, though. They had been dating for a decade, and he was an integral part of her life. She was afraid to know that he would actually do anything to hurt her.
If possible, Xu Wennuan would rather lie to herself and pretend she had never seen those two ssages, but that seed impossible; as Wu Hao drove her and her parents to her apartnt, Wu Hao’s phone rang.
She imdiately turned around to check his phone screen. Even though he quickly answered it, she still saw “Master Lee” on the screen.
He was formal when speaking with the caller. “Yes, Master Lee. Okay, no problem. See you later.”
“See you later!”
Xu Wennuan’s fingers trembled. After Wu Hao ended the call, she asked casually, “Who was that?”
“Master Lee,” Wu Hao answered casually while driving. “He asked to have a drink with him at the Majestic Club, so I might have to go in a while.”
Xu Wennuan hadn’t realized until now that all these tis he’d been eting “Master Lee” he’d been lying. If she hadn’t seen the text ssages, she might not have ever realized it. Xu Wennuan managed to nod with a smile. “Sure. Don’t drink too much tonight.”
Wu Hao smiled back at her.
She returned his smile before turning her head to look out of the window. The smile on her face disappeared, and her expression beca very cold.
Wu Hao parked his car at the entrance of Xu Wennuan’s apartnt complex.
Her parents got out of the car and left for ho before Xu Wennuan went inside.
Xu Wennuan stood by the car and said goodbye to Wu Hao. When Wu Hao lowered his head to kiss her, she reflexively avoided him. It was awkward.
The next second, she pursed her lips, shook her head, and stomped on the ground, saying, “It’s so cold. Don’t waste your ti here. You should go now.”
The awkwardness disappeared, and Wu Hao patted her head to signal her to go inside her apartnt complex before he drove away.
Xu Wennuan walked inside, waited until Wu Hao drove away, and then walked right back outside. She waved down a taxi and told the driver to follow Wu Hao’s car.
Wu Hao eventually pulled into a luxury apartnt complex.
Xu Wennuan exited her taxi but didn’t follow Wu Hao until she saw him walking into the building. After he got into the elevator, she watched the floor his car stopped on and then quickly took a different elevator to the sa floor.
When the elevator opened, she saw Wu Hao entering the apartnt across the hallway.
As she walked out of the elevator, the apartnt door slamd shut.
She stood in the hallway for a long ti until she felt like her blood had frozen. She then walked to the apartnt door Wu Hao had walked in, reached her hand to the doorbell on the wall, and pressed it.
After ringing a couple of tis, a sweet girly voice ca through the door. “Who is it?”
