Wen Yuhua suddenly thought of it, it seemed like in all the old-fashioned love movies she had ever seen.

The hero will definitely take the heroine away from the boring banquet and go on a date to a beautiful place full of flowers, until the vicious second female character intervenes and separates them, but this often deepens the feelings between the hero and heroine.

She didn't want to be the fool who got in the way.

Lin Hechuan was still on the phone, so Ye Xi went back to the hall first.

In the elegant violin music, Wen Yuhua keenly recognized Ye Xi's voice.

"Sister Ye Xi, I heard that Brother Chuan went to the United States for you and came back for you. I'm so envious!"

Ye Xi's earlobes turned slightly red, and a shy look appeared on her face. She said half-heartedly , "No way, Hechuan is not an emotional person."

"Oh, Sister Ye Xi blushed. Everyone knows that the Imperial Capital Opera House sent you a job invitation letter asking you to return to China. Otherwise, why would Brother Chuan come back when he is doing well in the United States?"

"By the way, Brother Chuan came back to divorce that person, right?"

Another person asked, "Now that the real owner has returned, it would be bad for her to occupy the seat."

"Sister Ye Xi, I have to congratulate you in advance."

"Don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary friends."

…

Wen Yuhua glanced over and saw Ye Xi being surrounded by the crowd, with congratulations coming from all around.

She wondered why Lin Hechuan suddenly returned to China, and it turned out that he was in a hurry for her to give way to someone else.

The wine-red liquid swirled and disappeared into the goblet.

Wen Yuhua put down the wine glass with a bang. When the people who were gossiping on the other side heard the sound, they immediately stopped talking.

After all, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, so she has to give face to the Lin family no matter what.

She felt a stuffy feeling in her chest, not sure if it was because she drank too much or because the air in the room was bad. Wen Yuhua always felt dizzy and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

"I'm going out for a while."

She said to the two people who were struggling with the dessert.

"To the bathroom?"

There was still cream on the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth. She raised her head and said, "I'll go with you."

"No, I'll be back soon."

…

Wen Yuhua walked out of the door and went straight to the right.

This is the Zhou family's private residence. When it was built, a famous architectural master was invited to design it. The goal was to achieve a quiet environment in the midst of bustle and hide among mountains and rivers.

Go straight ahead through the archway and you will enter a courtyard.

There is a large pond in the courtyard, with a rockery in the middle and various colorful flowers and trees on the side.

The moonlight is bright, and insects are chirping and birds are singing.

Wen Yuhua sat on a rock beside the pond, looking at the green water, and occasionally heard the sound of waves as fish swam across the water.

So comfortable!

The space was much wider, and her mood was also much more open.

Sometimes she really wanted to be a swimming fish, or a bird, or a flowering tree quietly blooming by the pond.

You don’t have to think about anything, you don’t have to remember anything, just watch the flowers bloom and fall according to the four seasons.

Don't feel sorry for men.

Looking back on the time when I was alone, it was like living in a dark, damp and stuffy cave, making it hard to breathe.

A cool breeze blew and the woman shivered.

When she came out, she was only wearing a shawl, which was made of cotton yarn and was not enough to protect her from the cold wind on a summer night.

Wen Yuhua sneezed and prepared to return to the hall.

At this time, a faint rustling sound came from the grass not far away, like the sound of a snake crawling through the grass.

She immediately stayed where she was, not daring to move.

The fish floating on the surface of the pond seemed to have heard the noise and immediately turned around and dived into the water.

The chirping of insects and birds also stopped instantly.

The woman could only hear her own heartbeat getting faster and faster.

"Bang-bang- bang - bang- "

When she was a child, she was bitten by a snake and almost died. She was able to survive because her mother managed to invite an old Chinese doctor who specialized in treating snake venom from the mountains.

To this day, there are still two small black spots on the inside of her right arm where she was bitten.

The memories in her mind involved her body, and Wen Yuhua felt a dull pain in the two small cuts on the inside of her right arm.

Her whole body was stiff, her mind was highly focused, watching the wavy tracks in the grass in the distance.

The emerald green waves were getting closer and closer, and the woman seemed to be able to smell the fishy odor coming from her nose.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from the bushes.

"ah--"

Wen Yuhua screamed and unconsciously retreated, but behind her was the stone she had just sat on.

She tripped and stared at the figure jumping out of the bushes with wide eyes, only to find that it was a dark cat.

It was hidden in the grass and blended into the night, making her mistakenly think it was a snake.

The woman felt a little regretful, but it was too late now.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a strong arm caught her.

The scent that comes into your nose is a floral and fruity fragrance that only girls would smell, with a slight sweetness.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

A gentle male voice sounded above her head. Wen Yuhua slowly opened her eyes, only to find that a man was holding her waist and back in his arms.

"No, it's okay, thank you."

She stammered.

She was still frightened by what had just happened, and her heart was beating rapidly in her ears.

"What are you doing!?"

A more familiar voice sounded, and Wen Yuhua subconsciously straightened up and stood up.

"I ask you, what were you doing just now?"

Lin Hechuan took a few quick steps to the woman's side, his eyes filled with rage and his face gloomy.

Wen Yuhua frowned, "What for?"

"You, and him, what was he doing holding you just now?"

When he was talking on the phone at the door of the banquet hall, he suddenly heard a woman screaming. He rushed over without stopping following the sound, only to see her being hugged by another man.

But this woman still looks so righteous, it's really infuriating!

"I was frightened by the black cat and almost fell down, and this gentleman caught me, isn't that okay?"

Wen Yuhua snorted coldly.

This man's possessiveness is really inexplicable.

She only allows herself and her childhood sweetheart to be affectionate with each other , but does not allow her to have any contact with other men.

"If that's the case, then why are you still so close to him?"

Lin Hechuan stood beside Wen Yuhua, put his broad and powerful hands on the woman's waist, and brought her in front of him.

"Thanks."

The man's voice was obviously a bit careless.

"No way Hechuan, I just returned to China, and you treat me like this?"

The man opposite chuckled, "You really have forgotten your brothers after getting a wife."

"brother?"

Wen Yuhua stared at Lin Hechuan blankly, then looked at the man opposite her.

"He is Zhou Linyuan, my childhood friend." Lin Hechuan glanced at him coldly and said in a proud tone, "The brat still remembers to come back."

"If I don't come back, I'm afraid you won't remember having a friend like me."

Zhou Linyuan chuckled, then picked up the black cat that was meowing at his feet, "This is Xiaobai, I'm so sorry."

"You know I'm sorry, but why don't you take your stinky cat away? Be careful not to scare my wife."

Lin Hechuan hugged Wen Yuhua tightly and said casually, "Let's go back first. The old man was looking for you just now."

"Well, I'll go back after I send the cat off."

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but Wen Yuhua always felt that something was a little strange.

When she stepped through the archway, she looked back and saw Zhou Linyuan still standing there, his eyes seemingly fixed on her?

“Don’t look back!”

Lin Hechuan reached out and held her head, "Stay away from him in the future."

Wen Yuhua didn't understand. This man seemed so familiar just now, but now he asked her to stay away from him. What did he mean?

really weird.
