Chapter 15
Without the slightest doubt about her life, as if she had expected this outcome, the actress who had been removed from the relationship said with her heart in her mouth:
“Then I wish you a hundred years of happiness.”
Zhou Yinchu, however, did not immediately accept her blessing graciously, but frowned tightly, Ying Ying understood that the relationship between Zhou Yinchu and his white moonlight should not have been repaired as in the beginning.
The words he declared were probably the man’s wishful thinking.
She is always saving to tease him, but this time, she counts it as a kind reminder, “But Zhou Yinchu if you really want to love a woman, these words of yours should not be said to me, but to her.”
“Deep love that is not understood is destined to be worthless.”
Perhaps, he and she were on equal footing in the midst of love, never getting a measured move or response from the other, which counted as one of the few words Ying Ying was able to comfort herself with.
But in the end, what kind of God, what kind of a fresh face, Ying Ying can not help but think.
Compared to being questioned about the relationship between Ying Ying and Zhou Yinchu, what made Zhou Yinchu feel uneasy was the fact that Wen Ning never made any move.
Neither did she express any alarm or avoidance of the developments; nor did she express any dissatisfaction over the rumors about him and other women.
She seemed to be oblivious to everything that was happening in the world around him.
Ying Ying was associated with his name, and instead of jealousy, uneasiness, and a shallow taste of half-bitterness, she was smoothly plucked out of the picture.
Had he known this, he should have let her bear the weight of this public opinion with him.
Zhou Yinchu’s face darkened.
And Wen Ning’s figure completely disappeared from his world the moment the subway door closed.
Just like the subway’s operating hours, which he could not control in the public order, Zhou Yinchu realized that the relationship between him and Wen Ning seemed to be firmly manipulated by her forever.
Uncertainty was present all the time.
A reminder of their breakup fifteen years earlier, a cautionary tale of the fifteen years they’d spent apart, and the ten years she’d put herself down and lived with another man.
He’d done it in a way that was almost the wrongest way possible, in fact, he himself mostly didn’t see it as a despicable tactic.
“Xiao Lin, contact Dr. Qiu from Psychology for me,” Zhou Yinchu’s bony fingers were propped up on the nylon sofa as he looked out the window at a thousand boring views, “He should already be back from the middle of his exchange program at the Eastern University, make an appointment for me.”
“Is it a counseling appointment for you?”
Assistant Lin keenly noticed that this Dr. Qiu was not the usual psychologist that the old boss used to use before, and his own area of expertise should be child psychology.
“No, to help Wen Ning’s child, his name is ‘Li Che’.”
This was a rare occasion for Zhou Yinchu to mention her child’s name without any personal sentimentality. But it was also vaguely tinged with cynicism.
Zhou Yinchu smiles bitterly, and has to admit that the moment he went all out to return to China to try to renew his relationship, only to find her building her happy family with an ordinary man, he lost control on the spot.
So much so that there was no way he could accept the fact that she was having children for someone else.
But the man was dead, and the remaining child was innocent, and he wasn’t ready to blame an ignorant child for his mistakes.
“After you make your counseling appointment, go find Wenning for me, I think you know what I mean.”
Zhou Yinchu, who couldn’t wait to see the woman again, arranged it as such.
“I’ll forward the room card to Ms. Wen.”
Special Assistant Lin had very quickly comprehended the meaning he wanted to convey.
The always decisive General Manager Zhou had his discretion in this matter, “You remember, give it to her in private, don’t let the bystanders find out.”
“Mr. Zhou, don’t worry, I understand that both you and Ms. Wen don’t want to publicize the idea, and will forward your room card in secret as much as possible.” Assistant Lin said without moving.
“Good, you go and do it as soon as possible.”
Zhou Yinchu had an anxious and impatient expression on his face, as if he was attempting to fight a lawsuit that he had no chance of winning.
Assistant Lin, however, did not have the same luck as the first time he stood outside this old neighborhood wonton store.
The car was parked in an inconspicuous corner, from the hundun restaurant was crowded, to the final nearly closed the door, inside the beautiful and slender woman has never poked outside, more than a glance.
The room card in his hand naturally went unnoticed.
He gauged whether perhaps he had to transform the parking position so that Miss Wen would notice him, and was also guessing whether Miss Wen’s sight was obscured, and that was why Miss Wen did not notice him.
In fact, he misjudged.
Wen Ning had seen him from the start, and after recognizing this, Assistant Lin suddenly understood the hesitation in the words of President Zhou today.
There might have been some sort of conflict between the two, otherwise, since Miss Wen had already recognized the hotel suite where Mr. Zhou often stayed, she shouldn’t have needed to send her room card again.
Assistant Lin had some regrets, had he known that he wouldn’t have balked so early.
Especially on something that Mr. Zhou valued so much.
Wen Ning originally did not want to deal with the assistant sent by Zhou Yinchu, and that was the end of the line between them a long time ago.
She might have had thoughts that she shouldn’t have had, but they were all gone now. All that remained was a sober self-deprecation.
Ying Ying’s fame, looks, and representative works all made her feel like the fairy tale had been shattered into disaster.
But that car should not have stayed in this alleyway for too long, otherwise, it was impossible not to be eye-catching.
Out of an instinctive desire to cover everything up, Wen Ning hesitated, but still walked towards that car in the gray weather.
“Ms. Wen, are you done with your work?”
Lin assistant has had a previous experience, when talking about these negotiation thrown conditions, already will not feel difficult to speak, the so-called “once born, twice familiar”, he first enthusiastically handed out an expert’s business card, “Mr. Zhou said that he found your child a good psychological counselor , if you are willing to accept it ……”
“No, please thank Mr. Zhou for me, I already understand his good intentions, but it’s not necessary.”
“I hope I won’t trouble you to make a trip next time as well.”
Wen Ning originally thought that there would be something new this time, but it turned out to be the same operation as before.
Especially under such heat, he was still able to find himself in a dignified manner, on top of his unspoken relationship with another woman.
She already didn’t know whether she hated Zhou Yinchu more or admired him more.
Obviously, Zhou Yinchu had calculated his own psychology, even crossing the bottom line that the two of them had coincidentally set up, but it had to be recognized that Zhou Yinchu was very good at pinpointing people, he had a very deep insight into human nature, and knew that he was guilty of something.
In this way, Wen Ning felt that that handsome and gentle face became more and more detestable.
However, the person who came was only his assistant, and she had no reason to take her anger out on him, so she was still sort of calmly dealing with him.
Wen Ning’s words flowed into politeness, how could Assistant Lin not see through those beautiful but shadowed eyes the possibility that the woman in front of him could shatter at any moment.
But even if she was that weak, she was still making her last resistance.
Undoubtedly, the offer was tantalizing, and no mother would care less about her biological child, much less neglect the mental health of her child in contemporary society.
It is not difficult to see from the two visits that Ms. Wen is an extremely responsible mother.
Whereas General Zhou exploited his mentality every time to perform immoral acts, perhaps from the very beginning, Miss Wen was repulsed.
“I will convey your meaning.”
Assistant Lin realized that General Manager Zhou had been completely rejected and had no room to turn things around.
