CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 330: I’D RATHER ERR IN A THOUSAND PLACES THAN MISS ONE

"Uncle Wen." Leng Ye was startled and quickly supported him. Guilt slowly surfaced in his brows; he intended for Wen Qingyan to learn about this, but he did not expect such a strong reaction.

"I’ll take you to the hospital." Without further ado, Leng Ye helped Wen Qingyan into the car, his dark eyes filled with a touch of guilt, "I’m sorry, Uncle Wen, I thought you already knew."

"I..." Wen Qingyan’s mind was buzzing, his throat choked, unable to utter a single word. Only after the doctor’s emergency treatment did his consciousness begin to clear.

"I’m really sorry, Uncle Wen, I truly thought Nuannuan had told you." Leng Ye looked apologetically at Wen Qingyan, "Nuannuan has been gone for so long without returning, I thought you were aware."

"How could this happen?" It was as though Wen Qingyan didn’t hear Leng Ye’s words, his mind was filled only with happy images of Wen Nuan and Leng Yan.

Their relationship was so good; how could they suddenly break up? He couldn’t accept it.

In recent days, Leng Yan would often have meals with him, saying Wen Nuan was on a business trip and asked him to check in. Seeing how well Leng Yan treated him eased some of his guilt towards Wen Nuan, but who would have thought...

"Yan has a child with another woman."

Wen Qingyan had just taken a sedative when Leng Ye, feeling deeply ashamed, spoke. Seeing Wen Qingyan’s agitation, he gently patted the back of his hand in comfort, "I’m sorry, it’s the Leng family who owed Nuannuan."

"Leng Yan! Leng Siyan!"

Wen Qingyan gritted his teeth, pulling out his phone to call Leng Yan. But upon seeing the number, he paused and dialed Wen Nuan instead.

It was Saturday, a day off work, and Tan Qing was returning to City E. Wen Nuan came to see him off. At the entrance, she waved to Tan Qing, "Go on in, or you’ll miss out on a good seat."

"Alright." Tan Qing smiled warmly, brushing her hair with affection, his tender eyes fixed on hers, "If you need help, make sure to call me, remember?"

"Mm." Wen Nuan nodded vigorously, holding back the sting in her nose, watching Tan Qing leave with a sense of relief, until her phone suddenly rang.

"Dad, missing me?"

Taking a deep breath, Wen Nuan forced a smile, her voice sounding playfully coquettish, "Dad, I’ll be back in a few days."

"Come home right now!"

Wen Qingyan’s fingers trembled, his heart flooding with intense sorrow, yet his tone left no room for doubt, "There’s a flight from City E to City N now, Nuannuan, you must come back immediately."

"Dad..." Wen Nuan’s heartstrings tightened, "Did something happen?"

"We’ll talk when you get back; today’s the weekend, don’t tell Dad you’re too busy," Wen Qingyan said, then hung up, his deep eyes filled with endless bitterness and remorse.

He thought his daughter would be happy, never realizing it would come to this.

"Leng Yan, you bastard, how could you do this to my daughter! Leng Siyan, how could you do this fake marriage certificate thing, treating our Wen family as what?"

He was trembling with rage and cursed bitterly, while reaching to dial Leng Yan’s phone, Leng Ye quickly grabbed his hand, "Uncle Wen, let’s wait for Nuannuan to come back before we discuss this, why don’t you rest a bit first? The doctor said you shouldn’t be too emotional right now."

Wen Qingyan’s brows furrowed deeply, he gritted his teeth and held back.

"Dad!" Wen Nuan stood frozen, wanting to ask specifics, but her eyes swept the flight schedules at the airport. Gritting her teeth, she ran to the ticket counter.

There wasn’t much time left; the most pressing matter now was to buy a ticket, specifics could wait until getting home. Hearing dad’s furious voice filled her with worry.

Could it be that the Leng family told her dad about her breakup with Leng Yan?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She wanted to call Leng Yan but held back, remembering Ji Wei and biting her teeth in anger.

Damn it, Ji Wei, making her whole family bear the shame, seeing a young man next to her surfing the web on his laptop, she bit her lip, registered an email account on her phone, and sent an email to Leng Yan’s mailbox.

She initially had no intention of interfering with Leng Yan and Ji Wei’s affairs, but now she couldn’t help her unwillingness. How could this woman live carefree in another city, while she and her family suffered humiliation!

The email alert for incoming unfamiliar mail, Leng Yan hesitated, wanting to delete it until seeing Ji Wei’s name; a chill flashed in his eyes. As he opened it, his fingers trembled slightly.

The sender informed him that Ji Wei was in City E, residing near XX supermarket, but the exact location was unknown.

There was nothing at the end.

City E?

Leng Yan’s thin lips drew a hard line as he skeptically looked at the email, frowning slightly. He didn’t know who sent this email nor did he know if its contents were true. Although this strange information was suspicious, he still didn’t want to miss any opportunity. Any hint, however small, he would have someone investigate. Better to wrongly search a thousand places than let one slip by.

After making calls to Xiao Jing and several others, his head tiredly leaned back on the leather chair, staring at Wen Nuan’s smiling face on his computer desktop, murmuring in his heart.

"Nuannuan, if it can be proven Ji Wei isn’t carrying my child, would you come back?"

He had sent numerous messages but had received no reply, suspecting his messages had been blacklisted. These days, he’d refrained from sending more. Yet, the longing in his heart hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Upon arriving at City N Airport, Wen Nuan hurriedly flagged down a taxi, just as she was about to get in, she suddenly closed the door.

Standing dumbfounded, she gazed at the familiar, eye-piercing silver BMW, her heartbeat nearly stopping.

A tall figure exited the back door of the car, rushing into the airport, almost as if every step was taken upon her heart. Soon, the driver drove the car away.

"Yan!"

Instinctively she called out, but he ran so fast that he couldn’t hear her voice at all.

Wen Nuan’s face turned pale as she stared at the flitting figure.

"Miss, are you going or not?" The driver, impatient, asked through the window, "If you’re going, get in quickly, or I’ll have to take another passenger."

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something." She apologetically said, her steps unconsciously following in Leng Yan’s direction, each step causing her breath to ache.

At the ticket counter, she heard his voice, "A ticket to City E, please."

City E...

Going to find Ji Wei? On the plane, she had worried whether he would believe, yet not only did he believe, he was personally going.

Her heart raced rapidly; Wen Nuan’s heart felt possessed by some spell, drawing her step by step toward him.

She missed him so much! Nearly a month had passed since she last saw him. From summer’s warmth to autumn’s chill, her longing grew crazily each day, yet she dared not see him. Today, seeing him here, she truly couldn’t control herself anymore.
