The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 362: A Walk Down Memory Lane
CHAPTER 362: A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
"Oh..." Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue. Wushuang was only about 25, just a few months apart from Feimo. Seven or eight years ago, wasn’t she 17 or 18? "Wait, did Wushuang confess to Kaka?"
Ye Feimo looked at Wen Nuan approvingly. This little girl was very smart. He just needed to give her a hint and she would understand. Ye Feimo nodded. "When Wushuang was 17, she told Kaka she wanted to be with him. Kaka refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also ran away to the Special Agent Island and disappeared. Wushuang isn’t the kind of woman to pester someone, so she gave up on him. Now she’s got a crush on another man."
"Huh? Why didn’t Kaka like Wushuang?"
"Kaka has liked my sister since they were kids. Maybe he just can’t forget her. Who knows," Ye Feimo said, thinking of Ye Hailan. He missed her a lot. *I wish Hailan were still alive.*
"Are your sister and Wushuang’s personalities very different?"
"Not very different. They’re both a lot like my aunt. My sister was a little more of a free spirit, and Wushuang is more of a queen. One is a princess, the other is a queen. They have different styles," Ye Feimo said. "Actually, Kaka didn’t really love my sister. He was only 13 when my sister died. He didn’t know anything. He probably just used my sister as a shield. As for why, I don’t know. Kaka never brings it up. Now everyone is just like good friends, and it’s like they’ve all forgotten about it. Wushuang and Kaka talk now without any awkwardness. It’s like they all have amnesia. No one brings up the past unhappiness. Wushuang likes another man now, but he also rejected her, so she’s using Kaka as a shield."
"That’s a weird relationship," Wen Nuan said, very confused. "Why would a man reject Wushuang, especially when Wushuang was the one who pursued him? It should be very easy for her to get a man."
"Who knows?"
Wen Nuan looked at the man’s profile on the screen, confused. She couldn’t help but say, "Does he have a woman he likes now?"
"Most likely."
Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue and tugged on Ye Feimo’s hand. "Are you still mad?"
Ye Feimo looked up at her. Was he mad? What was there to be mad about with a little idiot? After thinking about it, Ye Feimo said expressionlessly, "I am. Let’s see how you’re going to appease me."
Wen Nuan smiled and turned off his computer. "You should have said so earlier. You’re the easiest to appease."
The little white rabbit then pounced on the big bad wolf...
The corners of Ye Feimo’s lips lifted happily.
The Tangxin open-air cafe was located on the top floor of a building by the river. The environment was elegant and had a romantic feel. Tang Shuwen and Zhao Yuning used to come to this cafe all the time when they were dating. After they broke up, Tang Shuwen rarely came back.
Tang Shuwen knew when Zhao Yuning came back. Longmen’s information network was very well-connected. He received the news the night she came back. He heard that she was very ill and had stayed in the hospital for a few days after her return. Gu Rui had called and scolded him a few days ago, vowing that he would not let him get away with it. Tang Shuwen was a little worried about her health. He wanted to go to the hospital to see her, but he was afraid Chen Xueru would overthink things, so he didn’t go.
He also knew that she had a miscarriage. Little Six said it was an accident. The day she went for her prenatal checkup, it was raining. The hospital in the countryside had poor facilities, and the ground was slippery. She accidentally slipped and fell when she was going down the stairs, and the baby was gone.
He had told Little Six a long time ago not to make things difficult for Zhao Yuning again. He decided to follow Chen Xueru’s wishes about the baby and let nature take its course. He didn’t expect Zhao Yuning to lose the baby in the end.
Little Six had shown him the results of Zhao Yuning’s prenatal checkup. The baby was not healthy at all, and the doctor had advised Zhao Yuning to get an abortion. She was probably heartbroken, which was why she was careless and fell.
The prenatal report said that Zhao Yuning had taken a lot of medication that could affect the fetus during her pregnancy, which led to the baby’s incomplete development. Since the baby was still very young and Zhao Yuning hadn’t done a very detailed checkup, the doctor could only initially conclude that the baby might have a congenital disease or congenital deficiency. The doctor’s suggestion was to abort the baby. Zhao Yuning was very emotional at the time and got into a fight with the doctor, which was why the accident happened.
When he thought of the baby, Tang Shuwen felt very conflicted. Chen Xueru had said that all the mistakes were the adults’, and the child was innocent. A child was a treasure bestowed by God and the most precious gift, like his Xiao Nian. But he didn’t have much affection for Zhao Yuning’s baby. He just felt that the baby came at the wrong time. Perhaps because he had that thought, the baby also felt the conflict between the parents and chose to leave.
When he first found out the baby was gone, he felt a sense of relief. He felt very light.
Even if Gu Rui didn’t call, he wanted to talk to Zhao Yuning. It was better for the two of them to talk face-to-face and clear things up than to continue to be entangled. Zhao Yuning was a smart woman and should know what was better for her. Besides, after this miscarriage, he hoped she would understand that they had no future.
Chen Xueru was understanding and knew what he was thinking, but she didn’t interfere. She even took the initiative to suggest that he invite Zhao Yuning to dinner. Before he could invite Zhao Yuning, she called him and asked him to have afternoon tea with her.
Tang Shuwen arrived early and sat alone outside the open-air cafe, looking at the river view. From a high angle, the scenery had a unique charm. There were still six tables of people in the cafe. Everyone was speaking softly. It was very quiet. The gentle breeze and the fragrant coffee made it feel very comfortable.
He wondered who invented afternoon tea. It must have been a gathering for lazy people. Tang Shuwen rarely had afternoon tea, unless he had to meet with an important client. He should have been working during this time. He wasn’t in the mood to have afternoon tea.
The feeling he had when he was a student had long been forgotten.
When he closed his eyes, he could still remember himself at 17 or 18. He had just started dating Zhao Yuning, and he was very happy and comfortable. She was a girl who knew how to handle things. She was smart and didn’t talk much. She would occasionally have a small tantrum, but it didn’t take long for him to make her happy again. They were like a normal couple. They would eat, go on dates, and watch movies. Before Zhao Yuning, he had been with other women, but they were mostly for fun, and they would break up amicably.
She was his first love.
They were so young back then, full of energy and passion. They were so happy. The sky was blue, the trees were green, and even the air was especially sweet.
It remained a very beautiful memory in his heart.
Unfortunately, he and she didn’t end up together. After getting married, Tang Shuwen would occasionally wonder if things would have been different if Zhao Yuning hadn’t left him and gone to America.
