18. The Bad Woman and the Good Woman
The next day.
“Come here! Let big sister hug you!”
Lin Na beamed with joy as she hugged Little Yuan and planted kisses all over her face, making Little Yuan feel utterly helpless.
“Do you still call people ‘sister’ at your age?” Wen Han rolled her eyes beside them. “Little Yuan, call her aunt.”
“Auntie~” Little Yuan blinked her big eyes. “Auntie, you kissed me so hard!”
“Because you’re so cute~”
Seeing her best friend and daughter having such a good time, Wen Han couldn’t help but smile too.
Today wasn’t a holiday, but because of what happened yesterday, the kindergarten gave Little Yuan a day off. So Wen Han decided to meet up with Lin Na for some fun.
Since it was in front of her daughter, she physically removed her tattoos and took off the earrings she always felt were a burden.
Today, Wen Han wore a cute style blue strap pantsuit, paired with a matching tank top underneath, and a retro British-style eight-sided hat on her head, giving the impression of a young girl who had just stepped out of school.
She could seamlessly switch between being an authoritative woman and a young girl.
“Alright, let’s go back to the car.”
After picking up her daughter, Wen Han placed Little Yuan in the stroller and began walking down the street with Lin Na.
But she didn’t notice that someone was peering out from behind her.
“Those tattoos are fake?” Su Zeheng, wearing a mask and sunglasses, frowned. “They must be stickers, right? She…”
How many different faces does this woman have?
She always talks about how many men she has, but he has never seen her actually with any man.
In the bar, she acted carefree and seemed to enjoy herself every night.
But now she looks so cute, and those tattoos are all fake, and even… she doesn’t have piercings?
Could it be that the earrings she wears every night are magnetic?
So, is she really two different people in her daily life and real life?
Su Zeheng suddenly found himself unable to understand Wen Han.
This woman was too strange, like she had split personalities, acting differently during the day and night.
But this also gave him a glimmer of hope.
“She might still be saved.”
He nodded, then suddenly noticed a group of middle-aged women looking at him suspiciously.
“Cough!” His face stiffened, and he quickly lowered his head and hurried away from his hiding spot.
On the other side, Wen Han pushed the stroller across the crosswalk, feeling many male gazes on her, but she was used to it.
“Wen Han, look at that guy staring at you. He’s really handsome!”
“Oh.” Wen Han didn’t even bother turning her head. “Is he more handsome than me?”
“You’re a woman!”
“Can’t women be handsome?” Wen Han scoffed. “Only you, with your infatuation, would think these guys are handsome, and even go to a reunion just for someone called… cilantro.”
“It’s called celery!” Lin Na was speechless. “Back in school, he was my prince charming! He finally came back from out of town, so naturally I wanted to… giggle! Just to catch up.”
“And then you ended up in bed?”
“Hey!” Lin Na exploded. “What are you saying?”
“Hmph!” Wen Han rolled her eyes. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Don’t get fooled by someone’s charm or money. You haven’t seen what they’ve become after all these years, do you?”
“Do I look stupid?” Lin Na spread her arms, not noticing the figure crossing the street behind them. “I’m not that infatuated! It’s you!”
“Me?” Wen Han was confused. “What’s wrong with me?”
They reached another traffic light, and the crowd stopped.
Su Zeheng hid among the crowd, eavesdropping with his ears perked up.
Morality and integrity made him feel that what he was doing was despicable, but he also wanted to save a girl on the verge of falling.
“Are you still in love with Zhao Mengsheng?” Lin Na suddenly asked.
“I?”
Lady, I don’t even know him!
Wen Han was speechless. “Why do you think so?”
“Because I’ve never seen you with a boyfriend!” Lin Na shook her head. “Not even a male, it’s such a waste!”
“Tsk!” Wen Han also shook her head. “It depends on when I want one. If I want more, there are plenty of men willing to crawl like dogs for me.”
“Wow! Even though it’s true, you’re too… ” Lin Na scratched her head. “Wen Han, are you anti-male?”
“Anti-male?” Wen Han was again speechless. “I… forget it, let me put it this way! There isn’t a single man in this world who can catch my eye.”
Of course, the truth is that she used to be a man and planned to return to being one. But she certainly wouldn’t tell Lin Na that.
Lin Na shrugged. “Okay, that sounds like you.”
She silently crossed the street, hearing every word of their conversation.
Behind her, Su Zeheng’s frown deepened, feeling that his understanding of Wen Han was slipping further away.
No boyfriend? Not even one… male?
But every time he met her, she was always entangled with men. Which one is the real her?
Could it be that what he saw before was all an act? But what was her purpose?
Su Zeheng was confused.
He followed them, his mind in disarray.
If what he saw today was the real Wen Han, then she wasn’t the “bad woman” he and others thought she was.
Then what kind of person is she?
He pondered deeply.
Ahead,
Pushing the stroller alongside Lin Na, Wen Han suddenly glanced coldly over her shoulder.
Su Zeheng?
She had noticed him following her, but she didn’t care.
He wants to follow me, which means he wants to see the real me, or another side of me.
But it doesn’t matter to her.
After all…
“Hmph.” Wen Han grinned.
His identity must not be simple, right?
Repeated coincidences and some strange actions… At first, he didn’t take it seriously, but over time, he realized something was off.
Wen Han guessed that Su Zeheng was likely part of the Light Magic Society and was watching her because of her identity as a Black Witch.
If that’s the case, showing him her “good” side would be the best approach.
Her smile became even brighter.
Uncle Su, you’d better see all my good qualities, think of me as a good woman, and feel my charm.
And best of all… fall in love with me! Feel sorry for me! Can’t bear to leave me!
Once you fall in love with me, you won’t be able to hurt me.
If you’re really part of the Light Magic Society… hmp! You’re watching me now, maybe I’ll have use for you in the future!
Strange! If he’s from the Light Magic Society, shouldn’t he have magic powers?
But she didn’t sense any magical aura from him, so she never considered this from the beginning.
Then what…?
“Wen Han, why are you so happy?” Lin Na noticed her smile.
Wen Han raised an eyebrow. “Am I?”
Forget it!
Whether or not he is, putting the line out won’t hurt, and we’ll see if we can catch anything later.
She snapped back to reality. “Maybe it’s because I’m with you that I’m happy!”
“How mushy! I like it!”
One was genuinely unaware, while the other knew but pretended not to. They soon laughed and left.
Behind them, Su Zeheng gradually slowed down.
“It seems all the information I gathered was wrong,” he shook his head, then suddenly noticed something and looked up.
“Hmm? That’s…”
Slowly lifting his head, Su Zeheng noticed that Wen Han had stopped.
Under Lin Na’s puzzled gaze, Wen Han rushed to the sidewalk, picked up a boy who had fallen off his bike, and held him.
“Are you okay?” She patted the dust off the boy and glanced to see if Su Zeheng was still around. “Be careful, don’t worry your parents.”
“Thank you, big sister!” The boy smiled.
“No problem, be a filial and sensible person who contributes to the country~”
Wen Han ruffled the boy’s hair, then casually picked up the litter and threw it in the trash bin, politely declined a man’s advances, and finally returned to Lin Na and her daughter with a helpless expression, walking away.
Su Zeheng remained where he was.
But his heart was in turmoil.
“Have I misunderstood her all along?!”
