Ex-Husband CEO, Stop Messing Around!-Chapter 218 - 217: No Key

Previously, Wen Nuan was very enthusiastic about such things. Once when we were having a meal together, she mentioned that if there was a chance to go, she would not only look at the clothes but also visit many places. Now, she’s saying without a second thought that she’s not going, for his sake, isn’t she?

For Leng Yan, she even gave up the place she longed for the most. Is it because she truly loves him...

Wen Nuan fell silent. Just as the light turned red, she stopped and gazed at the night sky without the moon or stars.

"Maybe there will be a chance to go in the future," Wen Nuan sighed.

It’s time to leave MT...

She didn’t want to see Tan Qing become like this. He should be laughing out loud, even if it was just to tease her, and calling her ’Little Nuannuan’ would be fine. As long as it’s not like he is now. The way he is now makes her feel heavy-hearted to be with him. She feels sorry for him, yet she can’t help.

On the way back, Tan Qing wanted Wen Nuan to drive his car. However, she refused.

"I forgot, it might cause misunderstandings." Tan Qing chuckled and withdrew his keys. Looking at the villa in front of him, he smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.

He used to want several times to trick her into coming here to take a look. This is the new villa he bought; he even fantasized many times that this would be the home of him and Wen Nuan.

Now that I think about it, what a ridiculous thing!

At a newly built park in N City, Leng Yan’s car stopped at the entrance, with the window half open. In the passenger seat, Ji Wei’s low hum of the song became quieter and eventually disappeared as her head rested on his shoulder.

"Ji Wei," Leng Yan gently called her, seeing her closed eyes, memories of the past floated before his eyes.

In the university playground, she used to fall asleep like this. Humming the songs they both loved to sing, over and over, until she fell asleep.

Back then, he couldn’t wake her up. In the end, he blushed, carried her in his arms, and sent her back to the dorm. Luckily, he was well-known in school and had a good reputation, so the dorm attendant didn’t stop him. When he delivered her to the dorm, it immediately caused an envious scream from the girls, something he remembers vividly to this day.

That was the first time he held her.

Suddenly, his body shivered, and he frowned with frustration.

What was he thinking? Now he’s a married man, he has a wife he deeply loves. The woman in front of him is someone he cares for, yet she’s just his ex-girlfriend.

Ex...

Who would’ve thought that this couple, once seen as the most promising to spend their lives together in school, would have to be linked by the word ’ex’.

He once said he wouldn’t marry anyone but her.

Frowning thickly, Leng Yan touched his chin, a hint of sarcasm and self-blame appearing on his face.

Three years ago, he thought she was the one who betrayed. Now, the one acting as the betrayer is him.

Although it wasn’t intentional, it doesn’t change the truth of the matter now.

Lowering the car window, Leng Yan drove and stopped at Ji Wei’s residence, gently calling her: "Ji Wei, we’re home."

But she seemed to ignore it, tilting her head to the side, motionless.

Watching her, Leng Yan frowned and sighed, trying to carry her. But her arms didn’t cooperate at all, so he bit his lip and carried her out of the car like the first time.

Ji Wei seemed to dream of something, a sweet smile raised slightly at the corner of her mouth, arms looping around his, yet her eyes remained closed as her soft breaths evenly sounded.

Leng Yan’s body shivered.

Lowering his eyes to look at her, her eyes closed, long lashes lightly quivered, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth seemed like she was doing something.

Leng Yan slowly shook his head, carried her into the elevator, and only when he reached her floor did he try calling her name.

"Ji Wei, the key."

He placed her down, watching her somewhat unsteady stance, hurriedly supporting her.

"Key?" Ji Wei finally appeared somewhat clear-headed, rummaging through her bag for a long time, and dumped everything onto the floor. In the end, both could only shake their heads and sigh.

The key wasn’t there.

"I’ll call Xiao Liu, she has a spare one." Ji Wei lightly patted her head, trying hard to open her still sleepy eyes, picked up the phone, and dialed.

"How was it?" Leng Yan asked, seeing Ji Wei’s disappointed expression.

Ji Wei shook her head, her misty eyes and the corner of her mouth all showing a bitter smile: "It’s turned off. Her boyfriend rushed over to see her, so it’s likely the couple doesn’t want to be disturbed."
