96. Marry me next year.
“…Lin Wuju?”
Su Zeheng keenly picked up on the unfinished words of the other party.
“Was it Lin Wuju who forced you?”
“…No.” Wen Han turned her head away, looking as if she dared not speak.
Su Zeheng wanted to say more, but finally sighed and said, “Get in the car with me.”
“Where are we going?”
“…It’s so late, I’ll take you home.”
…
Slam!
The car door closed, stirring up two splashes of water on either side of the wheel hub.
Wen Han, already aware that Zhao Mengsheng’s soul might not be harvestable, felt disappointed and resentful, yet maintained her face of guilt and silence.
What happened in the past was in the past, even if it were just one second ago.
Since Zhao Mengsheng’s mission failed, she would no longer waste any time.
Her next target was only Zhou Bin and the present Su Zeheng.
This old man… I’ve been craving him for a long time~
“How is he now?” Wen Han came back to her senses and broke the silence first.
Su Zeheng glanced at her, “Drunk driving. His license will be revoked first, then he will face fines and imprisonment. This period is a crackdown, so he might face even greater penalties.”
…Hmph.
Well, let this kid off with his life!
Actually, apart from the Recycling Station’s task, Wen Han had some plans for Zhao Mengsheng herself.
After all, this guy once looked down on her, and later tried to manipulate her. How could someone with my narrow-mindedness possibly let it go?
But now his sharp edge has been completely blunted by me, and he has been caught, which also serves him right.
Her anger gradually subsided, “Uncle, how did you know about tonight’s events?”
“…I cannot disclose that.” Su Zeheng shook his head, “Wen Han, I am not only saving Zhao Mengsheng, but also saving you!”
“Thank you!” Wen Han gave a sarcastic laugh, “Uncle, ultimately we belong to different camps. What you’re saying to me now doesn’t mean much.”
“But one day you will understand.”
“…The previous bet isn’t over yet.” Wen Han looked out the window suddenly changing the subject, “Zhao Mengsheng, I admit I lost.”
The car suddenly slowed down, Su Zeheng frowned, “…What do you mean?”
“Zhou Bin.” Wen Han turned around, reaching out to touch the other’s chest, “Such a hot chest…”
Su Zeheng swallowed hard, leaning back tactically.
Wen Han giggled coldly, “Uncle, our bet… is still ongoing~”
The unpredictable and fickle witch once again left Su Zeheng confused and disoriented.
He found himself unable to see clearly through this woman, no matter how hard he tried.
Do I… like her?
That question floated up again suddenly.
“Uncle, your heartbeat is accelerating.” Wen Han smiled faintly, seductively reminding him.
Su Zeheng coughed, “…You’re imagining things, I didn’t.”
“There are many reasons for an accelerated heartbeat, such as exercise.” Wen Han’s smile became even brighter, “By defaulting that my presence accelerates your heartbeat, aren’t you admitting it?”
“…Let’s not talk about irrelevant matters.” Su Zeheng coughed awkwardly, “My heart has always been beating.”
“Is it because you’ve been waiting for me, so you’ve kept your heart beating? How touching!”
“I…” I am ultimately no match for this witch.
Su Zeheng took a deep breath, “In my eyes, you’re just a little sister. I wouldn’t be interested in a little sister who hasn’t even reached marriageable age.”
“Is that so?” Wen Han grinned, “Uncle, why don’t we give it a try?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, her gaze swept toward Su Zeheng’s lower body, raising her hand as if to reach somewhere.
Su Zeheng’s expression changed abruptly, quickly reaching out to stop her, “What are you doing?”
“Look at you, acting like a little wife!”
Of course, I won’t actually touch Su Zeheng, it’s just that I know this guy’s personality and am playing along.
Satisfied, Wen Han smiled, pouting, “Uncle~ Next year I can get married, do you want to marry me?”
“…No.”
“Huh?” Wen Han lowered her head dejectedly, “So you really hate me.”
“No! I mean… I, I, I…”
“Forget it, she’s already upset.” Wen Han turned her head, melancholy, “Take me home, I’m tired.”
“I…” Fine.
If I keep talking, I’ll just be played with again.
Realizing this, Su Zeheng restarted the car and disappeared into the damp darkness.
…
Recycling Station.
“Cursed Su Zeheng!”
Thud! The dart hit the photo of Su Zeheng on the wall.
Wen Han turned around angrily, finding Lin Wuju calmly staring at her.
“What are you looking at?”
“Can’t I look at your beauty?” Lin Wuju shook his head and smiled, “This is also a lesson for you; the people of the Light Magic Society are not as simple as you think.”
“I know, I’ve seen it.”
Wen Han snorted, the dart in her hand lightly sliding across her black-stockinged leg, making a rustling sound.
“So, I must have Zhou Bin’s soul.”
Lin Wuju raised his eyes, “How do you plan to reclaim his soul?”
“Want to know?” Wen Han stuck out her tongue, licking her teeth, “I won’t tell you! Hahaha~”
…
“In Star River City, during the crackdown period, there are still some citizens who take chances and drive after drinking! Last night, a foreign man… Here we remind all citizens, don’t drink and drive, and never drive after drinking alcohol. For your own safety and others’, drunk driving is absolutely forbidden!”
On the TV, Zhao Mengsheng, who had once stood out at the class reunion, appeared as a negative example.
Wen Han, sitting under the hair dryer, yawned, no longer caring about this guy.
Zhao Mengsheng getting this result was well-deserved, but unfortunately, she lost some money and was beaten by Su Zeheng!
But this round with Zhou Bin… He won’t win against me!
A moment later, Wen Han, with red hair dyed, left the hair salon like a fine wine, attracting the attention of many male colleagues.
…
“Woah! It’s a good thing you didn’t end up with him back then!”
At the dinner table, Lin Na, who had finally welcomed her vacation, sighed deeply.
“This kind of person is too dangerous! Drunk driving… could easily cost you your life.”
Wen Han smiled slightly, biting into a dessert, “What about you? Your celery?”
“Ugh!” When talking about this person, Lin Na’s face turned sour, “Don’t mention him, thinking about him makes me… forget it, no point in talking about it.”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“This guy sent me some nude photos the other day.” Lin Na sighed, “Just a few centimeters… Anyway, I’ve reported him, so he can’t harass me for now.”
“What a disgusting pervert!”
Wen Han shook her head disdainfully, sipping her milk tea.
Zhao Mengsheng’s failure didn’t discourage her.
Life is short, whether winning or losing, one should still reward oneself, right?
Putting everything aside, Wen Han enjoyed this brief moment of joy with her friend.
After a while, she raised her hand, “Excuse me, we’re ready to check out.”
“Hello,” the waiter walked over quickly, “A gentleman has already paid the bill.”
“Huh?” Lin Na looked at the waiter in surprise.
Wen Han narrowed her eyes, “Oh? Who?”
Facing their direct gaze, the waiter smiled slightly and pointed to a figure behind him.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, a figure sat straight with its back to them.
“Lin…” Wen Han’s pupils suddenly tightened, “Gui?”
