Chapter 303: Chapter 299: Honey, I was wrong! Honey, I love you!
A bright red color.
In Wen Nuan’s hand was their marriage certificate.
Leng Yan smiled, took the marriage certificate from her hand, his low voice resembling a sigh:
"Afraid you might divorce me, I hold onto them tightly when I sleep at night just to feel a bit more secure. Nuannuan..."
He looked up at her, a blush appeared on his face: "I even thought about..."
"Thought about what?" Wen Nuan raised her eyes, noticing the blush on his face, and smiled gently: "Say it, were you thinking of some scheme?"
But what could it be, she couldn’t guess.
"I thought if you insisted on divorcing me, I’d hide the marriage certificate." Leng Yan confessed in one breath, pulling her into his embrace: "You can call me despicable, but, Nuannuan, I just don’t want to lose you."
He didn’t want a divorce, didn’t want to lose her!
"So naïve!"
Wen Nuan lifted her head from his embrace, pinched his face, and pouted: "Even if you hide it, you can still get a replacement, and still..."
Before she could say the word "divorce," her nape was suddenly held by him. Wen Nuan only felt a shadow come down and cover her eyes, and before she could react, Leng Yan’s lips pressed down on hers, forcibly pushing back the words she hadn’t spoken, as his warm and passionate lips tightly pressed against hers.
Instinctively, Wen Nuan tried to push him away, but he held her even tighter.
"Don’t say that word, Nuannuan, don’t say it..."
Lightly nibbling her lips, Leng Yan’s voice carried a slight tremor. She didn’t know how scared he had been of hearing that word from her lips ever since that day.
She waited for him for three years, only to receive such a short period of love. For the remaining days, he would make it up to her. The one waiting for love would now be him, without any regrets.
Wen Nuan opened her eyes wide, looking at his devout face, feeling something warm and comforting gently flowing through her heart. Slowly, yet incredibly heartwarming.
"Yan, don’t trust Ji Wei too much."
After being embraced by him for a long time, Wen Nuan gathered the courage to bring up this name.
She hated these two words, but since they chose to spend their future days together, voicing some things might be uncomfortable temporarily, but if left unresolved, it would lead to endless troubles.
"I understand."
Still reluctant to let go of her, Leng Yan’s chin rubbed gently on her forehead, feeling the silky smoothness, bringing an indescribable satisfaction.
"Nuannuan, regarding what you said about Ji Wei falling into the water, it’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just afraid it was Tong Xi who saw it wrong and misunderstood her. But leaving aside that matter, I thought a lot after that day. That night, when Ji Wei insisted on drinking with me, she had already thought it through. But at the time, I also drank too much. Hearing it was her birthday, I softened and agreed to take her home once she was drunk..."
Upon sobering up, he truly felt he was utterly foolish. He knew Ji Wei had feelings for him, yet he didn’t distance himself from her!
If that day he really mistook her for Wen Nuan, Ji Wei would not have refused him, that’s why such a thing happened. If Ji Wei had just said she wasn’t Wen Nuan, he wouldn’t have continued...
"Ji Wei said she’d take you back from me." Wen Nuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Leng Yan with a clear gaze and softly said, "Do you believe me now when I tell you all this?"
"What did you say?"
Leng Yan’s nerves tightened, disbelief all over his handsome face, his lips moved, and a trace of coldness flashed through his expression: "Did she say it directly to you?"
Ji Wei, so she was saying one thing to him while provoking Nuannuan at the same time? Two-faced, indeed! Choosing acting as her career was truly appropriate for her!
"Yes, she directly challenged me." Wen Nuan stared at Leng Yan, black eyes reflecting Ji Wei’s proud demeanor, a bitter smile on her lips: "That’s why I believe her claim of not being able to swim was just a ploy to get you to perform artificial respiration on her. But you just wouldn’t believe it."
Because of Leng Yan’s disbelief that Ji Wei could swim, Wen Nuan had held back several times from saying it, fearing he’d disbelieve her, hurting herself more in the process.
After all that happened, she had to lay bare Ji Wei’s intentions, letting Leng Yan grasp the situation and allowing herself to truly move forward with Leng Yan.
"Get a good sleep, Nuannuan, believe me, I believe you, and I only love you. No one can take you away from me."
After tucking her in with the cool blanket, Leng Yan leaned down to kiss her forehead and gently patted her back.
With her eyes closed, a slow, reassuring smile appeared on Wen Nuan’s lips.
This time, he finally believed what she said.
Her heart had been weary for so long, she truly just wanted a good sleep.
Watching her sleep soundly, Leng Yan got off the bed, his brow furrowed tightly.
In his ears echoed Tan Qing’s words.
Don’t let kindness blind you!
He realized, for the sake of his conscience, he had once and again chosen to believe Ji Wei, causing Nuannuan such great grievances.
Did Ji Wei really know how to swim?
Leng Yan furrowed his brows, an image of a few years ago when Ji Wei cried in fear at the thought of swimming flashed in his mind, making his fists clench tighter.
It’s not that he didn’t believe Wen Nuan, but this matter was recounted by Tong Xi, not directly witnessed by Wen Nuan. He wanted to confirm it himself.
If Tong Xi’s account was true, Ji Wei’s intentions...
Were truly vicious!
When Wen Nuan woke up, it was already completely dark. She slowly opened her eyes and, seeing the vase of bright red roses and lilies by the bedside, her lips curled into a sweet smile.
Happiness had returned!
Leng Yan’s newly bought phone was placed nearby, knowing he was still home, she smiled even more sweetly.
After changing clothes, she went straight downstairs and could already hear Leng Yan’s laughter coming from the staircase.
Loud and joyful!
Wen Nuan smiled faintly, realizing it had been a long time since she heard him laugh like that. It felt really good.
"Not sleeping longer?"
Leng Yan, seeing her through the large window, came over laughing as he watched her.
"Don’t you have any guests coming over?" Wen Nuan asked puzzled, pointing to the dining room table: "There’s so much food."
She hadn’t paid attention to what dishes they were, but from afar, she could see so many, so sumptuous it made her tongue click.
"Just us two. Xiao Mi isn’t working today, and Sister Ping had to go back home for something." He came over and took Wen Nuan’s hand: "There are other surprises, go take a look."
"Cake?" Wen Nuan looked surprised at the box he brought over: "Is it your birthday today?"
It couldn’t be, she distinctly remembered that his birthday had passed when they got married.
"Making up for yours."
Opening the beautifully crafted gift box, Leng Yan’s lips curved into a smile: "While you were asleep, I went to the cake shop and made it myself."
Sister Ping came out after washing her hands and said with a smile: "Young Madam, this cake is quite mysterious, Young Master wouldn’t let me see it at all after bringing it back.
"Really? So mysterious?"
Wen Nuan grinned, watching as the cake box opened. She was stunned for several seconds, a feeling called "touched" quietly sprouting in her heart, spreading to every cell in her body.
"Wife, I’m sorry! Wife, I love you!"
On the heart-shaped cake, ten words, flamboyant yet heartfelt...
