"Be careful!" Wen Zhan's face was stern, he quickly rushed to support her, and quickly pressed the power button.
Mu Wanqing was frightened to death, thinking that she was going to be thrown out of the treadmill, but Wen Zhan appeared in time!
Being pulled into his arms from behind, she looked back in shock, her eyes filled with surprise and deep alienation.
"Thank you... thank you..." She panted and thanked him, pushed the man away without concealing it, and walked away while wiping her sweat.
Wen Zhan felt her alienation, and his eyes darkened.
Knowing the reason for her abnormality today, Wen Zhan didn't care. He just turned to look at her who was drinking water and asked with concern: "Did you sprain your feet?"
"No, I'm just scared." After Mu Wanqing drank the water, she was still panting and her ears were still buzzing.
The heartbeat that had finally calmed down through sweating during exercise started to ripple again.
She didn't know when Wen Zhan came back or how long he had been standing behind her.
There are rumors flying all over the sky. Why can he come back so early? Has it been dealt with?
And how would he explain to himself?
Mu Wanqing seemed calm on the outside, but the waves in her heart were already overflowing.
But no matter what, her determination will not change.
Wen Zhan looked at her and saw that her eyes and cheeks were flushed. He didn't know whether it was from crying or from exercising. The water drops on her face were also unclear whether they were sweat or tears.
She was obviously avoiding herself, and her words and body were full of resistance.
Wen Zhan felt a little panicked.
Sure enough, her tolerance and calmness during the day were all fake.
When the rumors escalated and public opinion intensified, she could no longer maintain her calm pretense.
After a brief silence between the two, the man stepped closer to her, and in a low and charming voice, he said with gentleness and softness, "Well, those things on the Internet..."
"You don't need to explain, I know they are all rumors." Mu Wanqing interrupted without giving him a chance to speak.
She was afraid that she was too soft-hearted and spineless, and that she would be shaken in her determination and hesitate after being coaxed by him with a few words.
She no longer wanted to hesitate and waver, she just wanted to cut through the mess quickly and put an end to all this as soon as possible!
He was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth, and the man's eyebrows tightened.
"You know it's a rumor, why are you still avoiding me?"
"Is there... is there? It hasn't always been like this between us..." She evaded her words, distanced the two of them, and returned to the normalcy of the past two years.
Only in this way can she maintain her poor remaining self-esteem.
Wen Zhan heard that she was drawing a clear line, and his handsome and gentle face suddenly tightened a bit, and his tone became darker: "What do you mean?"
Mu Wanqing swallowed secretly, mustered up her courage, and then turned around to meet his gaze: "No matter whether those online rumors are true or not, the fact that you like Lu Kejun cannot be changed. I know who I am, and I have no right to interfere with you. It’s a private matter, so—you don’t have to explain anything to me.”
After saying this, she didn't dare to look at the man's gloomy and serious face. She picked up the water glass and towel, lowered her head and walked away quickly from him.
Wen Zhan froze on the spot, staring at her leaving back. For a moment, he wanted to step forward, grab her by the neck, grab her back, and let her tell her what she was. identity!
Secretary Li said that if he wanted to win her back and maintain the family, he must show sincerity.
However, the fact is that he put down his body and face, took the initiative to show kindness, weakness, and even sued for peace, but in return he was treated with disdain and cynicism.
Wen Zhan put a hand on his forehead, biting the side of his face with sharp marks, and felt a little dizzy with anger.
Why are women so unreasonable!
When he ignored her, she stayed by his side quietly, as docile as a cat begging for pampering.
He finally came to his senses and began to pay attention to her, but she stood up and put on a show!
That night, Mu Wanqing went to sleep in the guest room again without saying a word.
Wen Zhan had a hot face but a cold butt. He couldn't save his face and didn't try to coax him any more. He was so angry that he couldn't fall asleep for half the night.
————
The next day.
Rumors continue to grow.
Although after public relations, there are no hot topics on the Internet, but this matter has spread among the upper class circles.
Everyone is talking about it and convinced of it.
Wen Zhan received several phone calls early in the morning, some from people who were concerned and some to find out what was true. Later, Lu Kejun’s father, Lu Zhengming, also called——
"Wen Zhan, come to my house in the morning. Gu Xinchen will also come. There are some things I want to explain to you in person."
Lu Zhengming's tone was very serious, and he always called his son-in-law by name, which showed how angry he was.
Now that the matter has come to this, Wen Zhan knew that he must give an explanation, so he responded in a deep voice: "I will be there in a moment."
After hanging up the phone, he didn't even eat breakfast.
Before going out and getting in the car, he looked back from the courtyard to the second floor.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the curtains in the guest room seemed to move. His eyes were profound and boundless, filled with an indescribable richness and darkness, and then he lowered his head and got into the car and took a photo of the door.
In the guest room on the second floor, Mu Wanqing stood behind the curtain, her heart beating in panic.
Hearing the sound of the car, she couldn't help but open the curtains and look down, wondering if Wen Zhan was going out.
Unexpectedly, when he was standing by the rear door, he would suddenly look back at the second floor, scaring her so much that she quickly dodge.
Although I was very tired after exercising last night, I still didn't sleep well at night.
After knowing each other for more than two years, she had already been fascinated by this man, and her heart fell entirely on him.
Some time ago, the relationship between the two had eased, especially the few times of intimacy, which made her fall even deeper into despair. She even fantasized about a happy and beautiful future for the two of them...
But now everything is back to square one.
After tasting the sweetness of honey, the pain of losing it is far more intense and cruel than never tasting it.
Now, whenever she thinks about their divorce and her leaving Wen Zhan and the children, her heart feels like a knife, and all her strength seems to have been drained away.
Leaning softly behind the curtain, the woman's tears slowly gathered and slid down unsatisfactorily.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the room door.
She was startled, quickly cheered up, wiped away her tears, and stepped forward to open the door.
Aunt Zhou came over with her son in her arms and rocked him: "Madam, the young master is probably hungry again after taking a bath. Please feed him some more."
"Yeah." Mu Wanqing took over her poor, deflated son, turned around and sat down on the sofa.
Aunt Zhou followed two steps forward but hesitated to speak.
Mu Wanqing also noticed it. When her son started feeding, she looked back at Aunt Zhou and asked softly: "Is there anything else?"
Aunt Zhou folded her hands and shook them, and said in a low voice: "Those things on the Internet... I've heard about them too, madam, I don't think the Third Young Master is that kind of person. I watched him grow up, and the Third Young Master's character is something I Dare to guarantee it."
Mu Wanqing was very calm and said, "Since you watched him grow up, you naturally know how much he likes Lu Kejun."
