172. The Scene of Infidelity“That’s nonsense!” Su Zexin scoffed. “What’s wrong with you lately? How could a woman who doesn’t like you be your girlfriend? Of course, it’s also possible she’s just toying with you.”
Like me…?
Once again, ignoring the latter part of the sentence, Su Zeheng murmured to himself.
Does Wen Han have feelings for me too?
The answer to the question he had been pondering was finally spoken by someone else, and it felt like a weight had lifted from his heart.
A smile involuntarily spread across Su Zeheng’s face as he affectionately looked at the figure in the car.
“Perhaps one day… I will really introduce her to my parents.”
…
Su Zexin seemed difficult to deal with, but in reality, she was easy to handle, posing no challenge at all.
When Wen Han returned home, she returned to her usual self.
The reason she was “being accommodating” was twofold: first, to let Su Zeheng see that she was nervous about meeting his family, showing that she cared; second, to improve her relationship with Su Zexin, further solidifying their romantic connection.
If even Uncle’s family wasn’t opposed and had gotten used to it… If their romance suddenly collapsed, the pain and pressure would be self-evident.
“Fruit’s here.”
Su Zeheng’s voice broke through her thoughts as he walked in from the kitchen.
Wen Han snapped back to attention. “Uncle, what does your sister think of me?”
“Very good!” Su Zeheng smiled as he sat down. “Are you feeling any better?”
“Women have those days.” Wen Han waved her hand dismissively. “Does your sister… like me?”
“Do you care that much?”
“Humph! I don’t care at all.”
Her tsundere demeanor was obvious.
Su Zeheng smiled as he handed her the fruit, and in a daze, he realized that Wen Han had changed a lot; she was practically a different person from when they first met.
She was slowly being influenced by him, gradually shedding darkness.
On the day she left the Recycling Station, he would…
With a plan forming in his heart, Su Zeheng bit into an apple. “I should be getting back.”
“I’ll drive you.”
As he got up, Wen Han stood up too.
“Uncle.” At the door, she smiled sweetly. “Drive carefully, okay~”
“Mm! Good night!”
Clack!
The elevator door finally closed with her departure.
As Wen Han reached for the door to close it, the door suddenly shut by itself.
She lifted her head in surprise. “Who?”
“It’s me.”
“Lin Wu Ju? What do you want suddenly?”
“Time.” Lin Wu Ju reminded her. “Need I remind you again? His Highness has already started urging for an answer. From my experience, it’s best not to let him get impatient.”
Wen Han remained silent for a moment. “Didn’t I already say? I’m still thinking.”
“Have you thought it through? You wouldn’t really be reluctant, would you?”
“Hmph!” Wen Han coldly laughed. “Little Lin, I think you’re the one who’s jealous!?”
“Exactly. So I hope you can resolve this matter faster. Is that answer satisfactory?”
“…I already have some ideas.”
After a long silence, the quiet Wen Han sat back down on the sofa.
“But I still need your help with something.”
“Oh? What should I do?”
The bright living room held a strangely dim atmosphere.
Wen Han slowly raised her head.
“I want you to help me find someone at the orphanage.”
…
Light Magic Society.
“Has Old Su been on some chicken blood lately?”
“I think something’s up!”
“Could it be he’s with Wen Han…?”
In the office, everyone was discussing energetically.
Meanwhile, Su Zeheng maintained a state of excitement and smiles, his work efficiency significantly higher than usual.
Although he hadn’t contacted Wen Han for a few days, that feeling of exhilaration had never faded.
Even if they hadn’t really confirmed their relationship, even if their identities made it nearly impossible to be together for now, the instinctual, physiological, emotional feelings were uncontrollable.
Especially after seeing the change in Wen Han’s attitude, Su Zeheng felt that day would come soon.
“…Hehe.”
Thinking of the sweet moments from the past month, the image of his fingers tapping on the keyboard revealed a smile he alone knew.
Not far away, Old Bai and the others were sweating profusely.
“Goodness, Old Su must have gone crazy!”
“I think so… Hey!? Where are you going?”
“What’s the point in guessing here?” Fat Brother rolled his eyes. “We’re all old classmates and colleagues, just ask him directly!”
Amid the surprise of the other two, he quickly walked over.
With a loud slap, something hit the table, pulling Su Zeheng back to reality.
“Old Su, have you and Wen Han… moved to the next level?”
“Ah?”
Su Zeheng scratched his head and turned to see the gazes of the other two.
“Uh… no.”
“No?” Fat Brother was speechless. “Old Su, your current mental state is very different! Just admit it!”
“I…” Seeing he couldn’t hide it, Su Zeheng gave in. “A little, maybe. But don’t worry, nothing has happened between us yet; she’s still from the Recycling Station, and I’ll remain cautious.”
“But your current state…” Old Bai also spoke up. “Old Su, feelings can easily lead to extremes. Wen Han’s methods are to toy with men; I’m worried you…”
“I know what I’m doing.” Su Zeheng shook his head. “I also understand what kind of person she essentially is.”
“Not really.” Old Chen spoke up. “Old Su, sometimes you may be vigilant, thinking you’re prepared and trusting you can stay true to your initial intention, but feelings can change everything.”
“…I understand.” After a long silence, Su Zeheng nodded once more.
Seeing him keep insisting, the others finally dispersed.
Fat Brother didn’t return to his seat but walked towards the door.
“I’m going to buy some savory pancakes; anyone want some?”
A chorus of responses followed.
…
“They’re here.”
Noticing a figure walking out from the Light Magic Society.
Wen Han smiled slightly.
She looked up, and the man across instantly froze.
In the next moment, a smile broke onto the man’s face: “Miss Wen Han, I… I like you!”
“Mm?” Just as she arrived at the pancake stall and paid.
Fat Brother, bored, casually glanced around, his twisting neck suddenly froze.
“That’s…?” He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “Wen Han?!”
…
Bang——!
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Fat Brother frowned as he walked in under the puzzled gazes of everyone.
“I just saw Wen Han.” He spoke directly, “I saw her with a man.”
“A man?”
The surrounding voices instantly silenced Su Zeheng’s smile.
He curiously turned around. “Wen Han? You… didn’t see wrong, did you?”
“It was her.” Fat Brother sighed. “Old Su, I saw her with an old man; he might be the new target from the Recycling Station, or… something else.”
“New target?”
It had been a long time since a new target had appeared at the Recycling Station.
At this moment… it was possible!
Su Zeheng immediately got up and opened the signal device, while Fat Brother hurriedly transmitted the collected energy into the machine.
