88. Almost There“Today is the day you confirm our relationship with me.” Zhao Meng Sheng smiled gently.
Wen Han’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at him.
However, Zhao Meng Sheng had already pulled a ring from his pocket: “This is for you.”
“I can’t take it!” Wen Han snapped back to reality.
But Zhao Meng Sheng insisted on handing it over: “We each have one, please don’t refuse me anymore, okay?”
“But… but…”
Should I agree?
Let him and Zhou Bin fight it out… the timing seems to be ripe.
Wen Han nodded thoughtfully.
This slight nod instantly made Zhao Meng Sheng ecstatic: “You agreed?!”
“Ah? What did I agree to?”
“Wen Han, I will treat you well!!!”
“Wait!”
Am I really such an easily won woman?
You old fool think you can play me, do you think I don’t know?
Understanding the situation, Wen Han took the ring and sighed: “Meng Sheng, can you give me a few days to think about it?”
“You’ve already thought about it for a long time.”
“How about this, I’ll accept the ring for now.” Wen Han shook her head, “A few days later… I’ll decide whether to wear it or give it back to you.”
“You…” Zhao Meng Sheng, impatient, wanted to speak, but he knew he couldn’t force her, “Then…”
“Let’s get off here.” Putting the ring away, Wen Han looked forlorn, “I need some time alone to think.”
“…Alright.”
Since she is considering it so seriously, it seems she must have feelings for me already?
Zhao Meng Sheng also knew that he needed to showcase himself more at this moment, and thus became even more genteel and amiable, like a true gentleman revealing his genuine feelings: “If you have anything you want to discuss, just let me know. I will always stand behind you.”
“Thank you.” Wen Han got out of the car, instinctively glancing at the ring in her hand.
A slight smile crept onto her lips.
This unintentional gesture made Zhao Meng Sheng instantly understand, giving him more confidence.
“Wen Han, we’ll see each other in a few days!” He excitedly waved his arm.
Wen Han shyly nodded.
Until he left, her smile could no longer be contained.
“Thinking I agreed, thinking I’m shy?”
She touched her smile.
“Hehe… this witch is actually laughing at you for being foolish!”
Giving the ring a disdainful glance, Wen Han turned and walked away.
…
On the other side, an extremely excited Zhao Meng Sheng stopped at a red light.
If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days Wen Han will be his!
Thinking of the body he had long coveted, the regrets from years ago suddenly vanished.
Perhaps Zhao Meng Sheng knew he didn’t really love Wen Han that much, but that feeling of losing and missing out was unbearable, making him eager to obtain something he once missed.
Whoosh—
Just then, a figure appeared outside as the car window rolled down.
Zhao Meng Sheng was taken aback, turning to see a familiar figure in the driver’s seat next to him.
“Hmm? You are that…”
“Mr. Zhao.” One hand on the steering wheel, the other resting on the window.
Su Zeheng turned to him and asked: “Do you like Wen Han?”
“…What do you mean?” Zhao Meng Sheng glanced warily at Su Zeheng: “Of course I like her, what does it have to do with you?”
“Like her, or play with her?” Su Zeheng shook his head, “Those who play with people eventually get played. Have you considered the consequences of being with her?”
“…What are you trying to say, you creep?”
“Mr. Zhao, sometimes a little cleverness is not suitable for certain situations.” Su Zeheng wore sunglasses, “Everyone wears a mask; don’t think too simply of a person, especially one who looks honest, kind, and loving.”
“…” Zhao Meng Sheng felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, looking coldly at Su Zeheng, “You’re talking about Wen Han?”
“That depends on how you think.” As someone from the magical realm, Su Zeheng couldn’t reveal too much, “I just want to tell you, people are complex. Everyone has both good and evil sides, making it hard to define. What makes a person human are their brains and their moral lines.”
Zhao Meng Sheng fell silent.
Su Zeheng, however, had already turned his head back: “One last thing. Don’t make decisions when you’re excited; only when a person calms down can they think. The light is green now.”
The car window closed instantly as Su Zeheng rushed through the crosswalk.
Zhao Meng Sheng blinked in a daze, until the honking of horns behind him snapped him back to reality.
…
The next day.
Wen Han was awakened early by the ringing of her phone.
She instantly guessed who it was and walked to the balcony with her phone.
“Hello?”
“Wen Han, you finally picked up!!!!” Zhou Bin’s voice trembled, “Wen Han, I didn’t mean to, I… I had nothing left at that moment, I was too excited! But I really can’t lose you! I love you! I truly love you!!!”
When a person has nothing left except one thing, and that one thing has cost him so much sunk cost, he cannot let go, viewing it as a lifeline.
And when he desperately tries to hold on, his demeanor completely changes.
At this point, Zhou Bin, in Wen Han’s eyes, had turned into a dog-licker, completely losing the composed mask he once wore.
“Sigh!” She sighed, “Brother Zhou, you’ve really disappointed me.”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!!” Zhou Bin kept apologizing, “Can we meet?”
“You’re too excited; I think you should calm down.”
“I won’t hurt you! Wen Han, I really love you; I… I hope you can be by my side when I’m down.” Zhou Bin continued, “I still have the bar! I’ll be able to make a comeback soon and give you a good life!”
Accompanying a man in making a comeback should deepen his feelings for her. Besides, Zhou Bin’s bar was already successful.
Wen Han estimated that Zhou Bin might be trying to use this to persuade her, to make her “capture his heart.”
She was very clear-headed but pretended to be confused: “Brother Zhou… my mind is really jumbled right now.”
“I’m sorry…” Zhou Bin kept apologizing, “Wen Han, what do I need to do for you to forgive me?”
Finally here?
Wen Han smiled broadly: “Become the person you once were! The Brother Zhou I liked was a confident man, not a coward who can’t hold his head high after just a little setback!”
These words instantly awakened Zhou Bin.
In that moment, he genuinely felt a sense of dependency and sincere love for Wen Han.
When he had fallen to the depths, she still encouraged him and never gave up on him.
Suddenly, Zhou Bin felt remorse for having wanted to toy with her before.
But now he understood… he had truly fallen for Wen Han, truly fallen!
“…Alright!” He revealed a smile, “Wen Han, I’ll pick you up tomorrow! I will show you the Zhou Bin of old! A Zhou Bin who is hardworking and striving!”
“Hum! That’s better!”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Han, dressed in a tank top, yawned.
“Let the storm come fiercer, shall we? Hehehe… huh?”
Just as she looked out from the balcony, a figure below suddenly made her raise her eyebrows.
It was a figure she could not be more familiar with.
“Uncle.” With her arms resting on the safety net, Wen Han tossed her hair, “Did you miss me?”
