CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 320: BE A GOOD EX-HUSBAND, STAY AWAY FROM THE EX-WIFE!

"No, what’s up?"

Wen Nuan frowned lightly, already having some inkling: "Is it about Ji Wei?"

"Yes, it’s about her. This afternoon, someone actually posted pictures of her with Leng Yan. From when she joined Qingcheng, to being seen getting into a van with Leng Yan, and then later scenes of her being rescued by Leng Yan from the water, it’s all spread online, with astonishingly high click rates. There are even a lot of blind people saying they make a great match, I really don’t know what’s wrong with these people’s heads. Nuannuan, I really suspect that these photos were released by Ji Wei herself."

"Maybe." Wen Nuan took a breath, pressing her fingers to her throbbing temple.

The storm that should have passed is being stirred up again, and she thinks it might be related to Ji Wei.

Is it to create public pressure to speed up her breakup with Leng Yan?

A self-mocking smile appeared on Wen Nuan’s lips: If Ji Wei knew that she and Leng Yan weren’t really a couple, how would she react? She would probably be thrilled, eager to spread it worldwide. It’s even more possible she would use this to publicize the fact that she’s pregnant with Leng Yan’s child.

"That bitch!" Tong Xi was furious, "How did Leng Yan even fancy her in the first place, must have been blind!"

"Xixi, don’t be angry." Wen Nuan softly advised her, trying to sound as cheerful as possible, "I’m not even angry anymore. Xixi, I think, without this marriage, although I’ll be sad, I’ve gained my freedom. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise."

"I just can’t stand Ji Wei! Nuannuan, let me tell you..." Tong Xi was still fuming, just about to say something when she suddenly changed her tone, "Ah, am I seeing things?"

She was walking on the street, chatting with Wen Nuan while looking for a good dessert shop. She suddenly screamed, startling Wen Nuan: "Xixi, what’s the matter?"

"I’m outside a Western restaurant right now, and I see Uncle Wen with someone." Tong Xi hesitated to mention Leng Yan’s name.

"Who?" Wen Nuan’s nerves instantly tensed up, her tone shifted.

She didn’t want to know his whereabouts and had agreed with Tong Xi not to tell her anything about him.

But now, is it unavoidable?

"Leng Yan!" Tong Xi spoke the name with deep disdain, "Leng Yan is with Uncle Wen, and it looks like Uncle Wen is very happy, chatting and laughing with Leng Yan. Nuannuan, seeing Leng Yan’s smiling face, I really want to go over there and slap him. I’m guessing he’s trying to take the father-in-law approach. He can’t find any information about you, so he’s looking for a breakthrough with Uncle Wen. Humph, if he’d known it would come to this, why bother at the beginning?"

Leng Yan having dinner with Dad...

Wen Nuan’s nerves were still tight. She had informed Wen Qingyan that she was in E City. She prayed that Leng Yan wouldn’t be stupid enough to directly ask Wen Qingyan where she was.

Fortunately, Tong Xi’s next words eased her mind a bit: "I guess he’s trying to indirectly find out where you are... but, Uncle Wen is taking a call now, he stood up like he’s about to leave..."

"Okay, I’m heading over. Yan, my old friend is getting impatient, I need to leave." Wen Qingyan ended the call, smiling warmly at Leng Yan, "When Nuannuan comes back, let’s have a family dinner together."

"Sure." Leng Yan stood up and nodded lightly, "Dad, you go on."

Watching Wen Qingyan leave, the forced smile he had just maintained vanished instantly. He sat back down, defeated, his once handsome face now clouded with endless bitterness, like a graceful yet melancholic prince, facing a particularly insoluble problem.

He picked up the glass of wine, sipping lightly, annoyed that he hadn’t coaxed out where Wen Nuan was staying.

He had just run into Wen Qingyan, who was invited by a friend. Leng Yan said it had been a while and wanted to catch up, so the old friend waited in a private booth while Leng Yan sat down with him. But just after exchanging a few words, Wen Qingyan left. Especially his parting words about a "family" dinner made him incredibly sad.

Wen Nuan had long stopped considering them as family, and he had brought all of this upon himself.

Hitting his head hard, Leng Yan suddenly looked up, and when he did, a glimpse of light flashed through his previously indifferent eyes.

Tong Xi was startled by the sudden gaze: "Nuannuan, I have to go, Leng Yan saw me."

"Okay." Wen Nuan ended the call, and just as she hung up, she heard a man’s voice clearly: "Tong Xi!"

Leaning against the corridor wall, Wen Nuan felt drained of strength. Leng Yan’s shadow resurfaced in her mind, one after another, filled with him, suffocating her with no escape.

It’s been a week; this was the first time she’d heard his voice.

The magnetic tone filled with deep exhaustion...

Tong Xi hurriedly walked away, ignoring Leng Yan calling her from behind. Just the thought of Ji Wei made her want to unleash her anger on this man.

Damn it, to think he got another woman pregnant. Her dear Nuannuan hasn’t even experienced the feeling of pregnancy, yet Ji Xiaosan beat her to it.

"Tong Xi, tell me where Wen Nuan is?"

Leng Yan hurried after her, blocking her path.

He went to MT under the guise of being Wen Nuan’s friend, asking a few employees, some said Assistant Wen had resigned, others said she was on vacation.

Today, from Wen Qingyan, it sounded like Wen Nuan was on a business trip.

No concrete answer, making him even more anxious.

Recently, he had secretly sent many people to investigate Ji Wei’s whereabouts, without any progress.

"I don’t know where Wen Nuan is, and don’t come looking for me again." Tong Xi glared at him.

Leng Yan’s face sank, his fingers swiftly snatching Tong Xi’s phone, his eyes showing a complex emotion: "You were just on the phone with Wen Nuan, Tong Xi, where is she, please tell me."

He knew the core issue between him and Wen Nuan was Ji Wei’s pregnancy, so he intensified the search. Yet, he wished to confirm Wen Nuan’s safety for peace of mind. Especially thinking about Leng Ye and Tan Qing’s feelings for Wen Nuan, it made him even more restless.

In his eyes, Tan Qing was a gentleman, he liked Wen Nuan, but would never force anything. But Leng Ye was different; he couldn’t guarantee Leng Ye wouldn’t have any ill intentions toward Wen Nuan.

"So what if I was on the phone with Wen Nuan, didn’t anyone tell you? As an ex-husband, there’s no need for you to meddle too much in your ex-wife’s affairs!"

Tong Xi purposely emphasized the words "ex-husband" and "ex-wife," snatching her phone back from Leng Yan, her voice tinged with contempt: "Better go back and follow the gossip news, the Leng Family’s Second Young Master and Queen Ji are the talk of the town now. Lucky for you, Uncle Wen isn’t into the entertainment circle, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been smiling so warmly at you just now!"
