Chapter 276: Chapter 275: Do You Believe It?
Tan Qingjun entered with a smile on his face, "Are you two beautiful ladies hungry?"
"Of course, you’re finally here." Tong Xi happily ran over, taking a bag from his hand, and then saw another bag. Her eyes widened, "Wow, so many delicious things, and there’s cake too!"
"It’s Nuannuan’s birthday, after all." Tan Qing smiled lightly, "I thought the three of us wouldn’t eat much, so I ordered a small one. But it’s definitely delicious."
"Of course, this cake shop makes the best cakes in N City." Tong Xi looked at the box, beaming with joy and couldn’t wait to open it, "Nuannuan, it’s noon now, not evening. I think we can skip the candles and just eat. What do you say?"
"Sure." Wen Nuan looked at Tan Qing, whose eyes were on her, and tried hard to smile at him. But before the smile fully appeared on her lips, tears suddenly rolled down.
They came so unexpectedly.
In an instant, her face was covered with tears.
Tan Qing’s heart ached, and a clear sense of unease showed in his dark eyes, "Why are you crying? Are you unhappy?"
Tong Xi also became nervous, "Nuannuan..."
"No, I’m just so happy." Wen Nuan shook her head. Her throat was choked, and it took a while for her to speak in a sobbing voice, "Thank you, Tan Qing, really, I don’t know how to thank you."
Her heart was filled with so much guilt. She had deceived him, but he never blamed her for anything.
"It’s easy to thank me, just give me a smile."
Tan Qing suppressed the impulse to hold her in his arms, curved his lips into a smile as an example, "Like me, give a smile."
"I’m not going to smile, you’ll just say it’s scary." Wen Nuan sniffed, took the tissue Tan Qing handed her to wipe her tears, and a slight smile still appeared on her lips.
She felt very sad, but with Tong Xi and Tan Qing here, she felt much better.
She truly regarded the two of them as friends, the kind of friends she could confide in.
Tong Xi had already opened the cake and handed a piece to Wen Nuan, smiling to lighten the mood, "Who says our Nuannuan’s smile is scary? Is there such a beautiful ghost? Here, beautiful birthday girl, eat cake!"
The cake was delicious, sweet but not cloying. After finishing the small cake, they ate some more food. Wen Nuan forced a smile, not wanting them to feel sad with her.
She ate a lot with heart, wiped her mouth, "Xixi, let’s drop you off at the set first and then go to work."
She didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. The doctor checked and said there was nothing wrong, just needed to rest. Tan Qing helped her with the discharge procedures, and she could leave after eating.
"Sure, Director Weng threatened me to make sure I go this afternoon since I didn’t go this morning. Otherwise, he’ll call my dad to take me back." Tong Xi stuck out her tongue playfully, afraid Wen Nuan would blame herself, and quickly added, "But he’s just saying that, Uncle Weng never really does anything to me."

"Doctor, is there a patient named Wen Nuan?" Leng Yan asked as he came to another hospital, not knowing what illness Wen Nuan had, so he had to search department by department.
The doctor frowned slightly, "Yes, who are you to the patient?"
Because the name was quite unique and memorable, plus there were two beauties and a handsome guy, she remembered quickly.
"I’m her husband." Leng Yan said urgently, "Where is she?"
"Discharged, left an hour ago." When she came back from lunch, she saw Tan Qing and the three of them, such an eye-catching handsome guy and beautiful ladies, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances and knew they were discharged.
"Ah?"
Leng Yan suddenly felt exhausted, almost collapsing. Without asking more, he rushed outside, got into the car, and shook his head with a bitter smile.
He finally found her, but she was gone again. Where would she go now?
"Alright, I’m here, bye-bye." Tong Xi jumped out of the car, waving to Wen Nuan and Tan Qing. A call came in. Thinking it was Director Weng urging her again, she hurriedly took it out, biting her teeth as she looked at the number on the screen.
"What’s wrong?" Wen Nuan was puzzled.
Tong Xi bit her lips tight, as if she wanted to tear something apart, "It’s his call, Nuannuan, do you want to curse him out to relieve your anger?"
Leng Yan’s call?
Wen Nuan looked at her phone in her hand and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
She shook her head at Tong Xi, "I don’t want to talk to him." She didn’t even know what to say.
A divorce...
Since waking up, she’s been considering this matter. She really couldn’t accept a cheating husband. Rather break early than drag the pain. Pengfei would arrive this afternoon, and she didn’t want to see Leng Yan now. She would propose it to him once Pengfei returned tomorrow.
"If you don’t scold him, I will!"
Tong Xi pouted, ignoring Wen Nuan’s opposition, pressed the answer button, and, after thinking for a bit, switched it to speaker mode.
"Tong Xi, please let Nuannuan answer the phone." Leng Yan held his phone tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.
He didn’t say "please," he said "beg." His voice seemed to carry infinite excitement.
The window was open, and his voice was so clear that when it reached Wen Nuan’s ears, her heart trembled a bit.
The esteemed Second Young Master of the Leng Family was begging her friend to let her answer the phone.
Shouldn’t she be touched? But, just thinking of that scene in the morning made her want to vomit.
Tong Xi was also stunned, not expecting him to say that.
But does he think playing weak can erase everything? Hmph, dream on!
Tong Xi raised her brows, a mocking smile spreading across her lips, "Is it that bastard, Second Young Master of the Leng Family again? Are you looking for Nuannuan or Ji Wei? I’m at the set right now. Do you want me to get Queen Ji to listen to the phone? Oh, Young Master Leng, that’s right, you and Ji Wei are that close. Just call her directly. Don’t need me to be your messenger, huh?"
"You’re at the set?"
Leng Yan’s brow moved slightly, automatically ignoring her sharp sarcasm, "Is Nuannuan there too?"
As he spoke, the car engine started.
"She’s not an actress, unlike others who can act out a drunken fling. What’s she doing at the set?" Tong Xi sneered, "Now you’re concerned about Nuannuan, did you ever think about her when you were doing those despicable things?"
"Tong Xi, is she with you or not?"
Leng Yan knew what she was implying, his face turning dark, "I need to explain this clearly. It wasn’t intentional. The one I love is Nuannuan..."
"Phooey! With that mouth of yours, you’re still shameless enough to say you love Nuannuan?" Tong Xi got even more angry hearing his words. She slammed the phone shut, hanging up on Leng Yan, angrily patting her chest, and looked at Wen Nuan, "He says he loves you, do you believe it?"
Wen Nuan’s tears, as translucent as glaze, were enveloped in a thin mist. She wanted to believe it. Before this incident, she had believed it wholeheartedly. But now?
It’s so ironic. She stared at Tong Xi’s phone, the scene she saw in the morning seemed to be floating before her eyes, and she suddenly laughed, "Xixi, hang up the phone, you go on with your work, I have to go to work too."
After saying that, she glanced at Tan Qing, her black eyes resolute, "Tan Qing, let’s go, lest we be late."
What love, what lack of love. It’s all in the past. Whether she believes it or not, what does it matter?
