Xu Wennuan only snapped out of her daze when the food delivery person rang her doorbell. When she opened her food, the restaurant had added a courtesy cold prawn dish. Xu Wennuan picked a prawn up with her chopsticks and, just when she was about to put it into her mouth, she recalled that Lu Bancheng had told her to avoid cold and raw food. She then paused, looked at the prawn close to her mouth, and put it back into the box before she obediently began to eat her hot food.

By the time she finished eating, the rain had stopped. Knowing that her thoughts would inevitably continue to wander while she was alone at home, she packed up and left her apartment.

Xu Wennuan had no idea where she was going when she left, so she ended up driving the car around aimlessly until finally turning into a movie theater parking lot that she was passing. She chose a movie based on its ratings and, by the time it was over, it was almost evening when she went outside.

The afternoon sky was still gloomy but, at the same time, dusk painted the entire city crimson red. The puddles of water that remained on both sides of the road reflected a faint red glow. Xu Wennuan thread carefully around the puddles as she made her way to her car. Just when she was about to get in, she suddenly remembered a good nearby cake shop. Because she rarely visited this area, she decided it was a good opportunity to satisfy her craving for sweets. She closed her car door and walked over to the cake shop.

Being the weekend, the cake shop was busy. After standing in line for 20 minutes, Xu Wennuan finally managed to select her cake and pay for it. When she turned around to leave, she bumped into a young girl and, when Xu Wennuan turned back and apologized, the girl’s face was visibly stunned for a moment before she said gently, “It’s alright.” Xu Wennuan replied with a smile and passed her to exit the shop without saying another word.

When she’d walked halfway back to her car, Xu Wennuan saw the girl whom she had bumped into at the cake shop, also carrying a cake box. Xu Wennuan found it such a coincidence that she couldn’t help but take a second look at the girl, who, upon sensing her gaze, turned to look at her and flashed a radiant smile before hurrying to a car that was parked by the roadside.

Xu Wennuan easily shook it off and continued leisurely walking to her own car but, the girl had already run ahead of her and, when she opened the car door, Xu Wennuan noticed that the car she was entering must have cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

Her family must be rich...

Xu Wennuan continued to walk straight ahead as the thought formed in her mind. When she walked by the car, it was still stationery, and Xu Wennuan casually turned her head to glance at it. Coincidentally, the car window was being rolled down, and Xu Wennuan caught sight of the face that she had been thinking about constantly over the past few months. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

Xu Wennuan stopped in her tracks and stared fixedly at Lu Bancheng in the car as if someone had jabbed her meridians. His hair was much shorter, and he appeared to be much thinner. His complexion seemed unhealthy and sickly pale.

Xu Wennuan’s fingers loosened up in an instant and the cake box she was holding fell onto the ground with a thud.
