Chapter 186

186. Just the Ex-Boyfriend

“Yes.” Wen Han replied.

“From now on, you’ll follow me. Don’t talk about other things during work hours, and don’t say meaningless things.”

Wen Han sized him up with great interest, then smiled slightly after a moment: “Uncle, you’ve changed so much.”

“I only want to talk about work.” Su Zeheng shook his head. “Now you’re not Wen Han anymore. You’re just a newcomer to the Light Magic Society. Do you know your responsibilities?”

Huh?

Su Zeheng’s huge change in just one year even surprised Wen Han.

She looked at the figure in front of her in shock, hesitated, then nodded: “I know.”

Su Zeheng paid no more attention and looked at Fat Brother again: “Where are the two of them?”

The two subordinates behind him immediately walked out smiling.

Fat Brother smiled: “Who are they?”

“A Long!” “A Bao!”

“They are also newcomers I brought recently,” Su Zeheng continued. “Do they need to stay too?”

“The headquarters wants you three to directly register under the branch office. You will be the director, and they will become official Light Mages.”

“Official?!!!” A Long and A Bao were overjoyed instantly. “Captain, we…”

In the next second, they felt Su Zeheng’s gaze and instantly closed their mouths, not daring to speak.

“…Okay, let’s do as the headquarters says.” Su Zeheng nodded. “A Long, send the sample back.”

“Yes!”

“A Bao, go handle our registration procedures.”

“Yes!”

“…Silence for a while, Su Zeheng closed his eyes. “And Wen Han.”

Wen Han raised her head: “Uncle.”

“Call me Director or my name.” Su Zeheng’s tone was cold. “You haven’t been officially registered yet.” He rubbed his temples, seeming very tired. “If you have any questions, ask me. When on missions, you must always stay close to us.”

Wen Han stared intently at him: “Yes.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going home. After all, I can’t leave now anyway.”

Amidst everyone’s gazes, Su Zeheng sneered and turned to leave.

Wen Han watched the sudden change in the former acquaintance, feeling both startled and somewhat dazed.

This guy… he really has changed a lot.

Is it because of me?

“Wen Han, sometimes I feel that you’re really ruthless.”

Fat Brother could only smile bitterly after watching Su Zeheng leave.

“You’re really amazing. It made me realize that a person doesn’t need much time to change—just a month.”

“A month?” Wen Han was surprised.

Fat Brother waved for the others to leave and sighed deeply as he slowly walked to Wen Han’s side: “After that incident, within a month, he learned how to drink and started smoking again, completely transforming. You understand, right? He’s completely different!”

Wen Han pondered.

She couldn’t see Su Zeheng’s back anymore, but she felt strange due to Fat Brother’s words.

She pursed her lips: “Because of me?”

“What do you think?”

“…Sorry.” Wen Han shrugged. “At that time, I was a Witch, and it was my responsibility.”

“So I won’t blame you now; it’s pointless.” Fat Brother sighed helplessly. “I also know you haven’t completed your purification, so I hope you… understand?”

“Understood.”

Wen Han crossed her arms and nodded.

“So, Fat Brother, what should I do now?”

“Ah.” Fat Brother seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn’t. “Old Su’s strength is evident. Now, only he can teach you. From now on, you’ll follow him closely. He’s your teacher. Learn from him, and he’ll help you improve step by step.”

Wen Han raised an eyebrow: “Will he?”

“I know him well.”

Finally, Fat Brother smiled.

“He’s now a work machine. As long as it’s work-related and his responsibility, he won’t refuse, even if it means… in short, he only sees work. Learn from him well.”

“Then…” Wen Han walked out, picking up Little Yuan. “Can I leave now?”

Fat Brother nodded and smiled: “Go ahead.”

Amidst everyone’s gazes, Wen Han quietly disappeared.

The office fell silent once more.

After a moment, Xiao Liu was the first to turn around in astonishment.

“Uncle Fat, Director Su and Wen Han… did they know each other before?!”

Discussing this matter, A Long and A Bao, who were incredibly shocked, exchanged glances, reaching the limit of their confusion.

“Senior, what kind of relationship does our captain have with Wen Han?”

The events earlier were vague, but anyone could tell there was something amiss, especially given their status as Light Mages.

Facing the bewildered gazes of the three young people, Fat Brother mysteriously smiled and suddenly looked distant with some reflection.

“How long have you two followed Old Su?”

“We started following Captain five months ago,” A Long said admiringly. “Because I admire him. That year, he single-handedly stormed the Monster Alliance’s outpost in Redstone City…”

“Yes! When the others found him…” A Bao continued, “They said the captain was covered in wounds, but the Monster Alliance’s branch was destroyed! They called the captain the ‘Demon Slayer who doesn’t care about his life’!”

Fat Brother smiled faintly.

This evasive behavior made the three even more puzzled.

“Uncle Fat.” Xiao Liu cautiously spoke up. “I also heard that Director Su used to be one of us.”

“Yes.” Fat Brother nodded, then suddenly looked at A Long and A Bao. “What kind of person is your captain?”

“Huh?”

The two were stunned, looking at each other.

“He’s fearless, a workaholic, very serious, and extremely capable!… Also, he’s tough on the outside but soft-hearted. Although he seems cold, he’s actually a good person and has taught us a lot.”

“He wasn’t like this before,” Fat Brother lowered his head and laughed. “To be precise, he started changing last summer.”

“Why?”

The three young people were completely confused.

Fat Brother smiled without answering and suddenly stood up, patting their shoulders.

“In any case, welcome to the Light Magic Society. From today on, you’ll mainly handle clerical work in the office. Let me teach you how to operate the system now.”

…

Beep beep!

Holding Little Yuan, Wen Han, still somewhat dazed, had just stepped out of the office when she heard the sound of a car starting.

She instinctively looked over and suddenly saw a figure starting a car and looking ahead on the road.

It was Su Zeheng!

The car hummed but didn’t move.

Both of them silently looked at each other as electric scooters passed by, seemingly ignored.

“…”

After a long while.

Su Zeheng turned his eyes in silence, as if seeing nothing.

He drove the car coldly, zooming past Wen Han’s body.

The wind from the speeding car lifted her clothes and short hair.

Wen Han turned to look at the distant car, then saw a tiny hand blocking her view.

“Mom, isn’t that Dad?” Little Yuan asked in confusion. “Why isn’t he taking us home?”

“…He’s not your dad.”

Interrupted, Wen Han smiled and looked down.

“He’s just my ex-boyfriend, and Mom has no relation with him anymore.”
