Wen Li's eyes suddenly widened.

She grabbed Meng Jinnian who was about to get in the car and asked him, "What did you just say, what did you mean?"

Meng Jinnian's eyes swept over her hands that were holding his clothes. He felt a little nostalgic when he thought of the warm and soft touch of her palms.

He stepped aside and showed her the car door. "Come with me and get in the car. I'll take you back to Hai City. I'll tell you everything I know on the way."

Wen Li shook his head, "No need. I've already bought the return ticket, so I won't bother you. If you know anything, you can tell me now. A few words won't take too long."

Meng Jinnian looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time before smiling, "You are still the same as before. You are so cruel to me."

Wen Li frowned and wanted to say something.

Meng Jinnian continued, "I admit that I am a scumbag. I can't let go of the friendship I had with Lin Ruoyuan when I was young. You want to break up with me, it's what I deserve, I don't blame you. But Wen Li, can you not be so hypocritical? Why can you forgive Huo Yuanchen again and again, but you don't even give me a chance to forgive me?"

Wen Li looked at him for a while before saying, "Are you referring to Huo Yuanchen's student, An Wen?"

Meng Jinnian smiled, "Not only An Wen, but also her sister An Ran. She is the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in Huo Yuanchen's heart. Wen Li, what can you compare with her?"

Wen Li kept a straight face and said nothing.

Meng Jinnian continued, "Did Huo Yuanchen go abroad a few days ago?"

Wen Li couldn't help but say, "He was on a business trip, he went abroad for two and a half weeks, with his colleagues."

Meng Jinnian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "On a business trip? Maybe. But Huo Yuanchen was not just on a business trip. An Ran recently ran into some trouble abroad. It seems that she offended the local tyrants and was picked on by them several times. It was all thanks to Huo Yuanchen who ran all the way to help her solve it. I heard that he accompanied An Ran to several drinking parties, blocking the drinking and giving benefits. Only then did he deal with the local tyrants and help An Ran gain a foothold in the local area."

Wen Li thought of the night Huo Yuanchen came back, the strange smell of perfume on his shirt, and the lipstick color she had never seen before...

He said he got it on the plane.

But is there another possibility, that it wasn't a stranger on the plane who accidentally touched her, but a woman who was declaring her sovereignty from a distance?

She wanted to say something and opened her mouth for a long time, but in the end she found that she couldn't say a word.

Meng Jinnian raised his hand, as if wanting to touch her.

She dodged subconsciously, and his hand stopped in mid-air and finally fell slowly.

He said with some sigh, "Wen Li, you wanted to break up with me because I let Lin Ruoyuan sit on my lap. You said you couldn't stand your boyfriend being ambiguous with other women, and you said you should keep a proper distance from the opposite sex when dating. I remember all the words you said, firmly in my mind. But, Wen Li..."

He smiled at her, quite teasingly, "...How could you have forgotten? When you were with Huo Yuanchen, you really threw all your principles aside. Just because he is your first man, you can be so tolerant? This is not like you at all."

When Meng Jinnian got into the car and prepared to leave, he couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and reached out to grab the hem of her clothes.

He gently stroked the corner of her clothes with his fingertips, his brows lowered, and his expression was filled with endless reluctance.

He lowered his voice and said to her, "Wen Li, you are like this now. I look down on you a little bit."

Wen Li didn't know how he left the recording site.

Her work had been completed, and according to the agreement, Cheng Yang's company should pay her the balance. But she was in a daze and didn't hear clearly what her agent said.

Cheng Yang noticed that something was wrong with her, so he sent his agent away and asked her several times with a worried look on his face, "Sister, are you okay?"

She came back to her senses and shook her head at him, "I'm fine."

She thought that she should talk about work at this time, and men and other things should not take up her working time. She pinched the flesh on her thigh hard, and it hurt so much that she wanted to cry, but she endured it.

She sent the photos she had taken to Cheng Yang and said, "Take your time to choose. Tell me which ones you have chosen. I will edit them and send them to your agent."

Cheng Yang nodded and insisted on sending her back to the hotel.

She refused. "I bought a ticket for tonight and I've already refunded the hotel. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."

Cheng Yang nodded, "Then let's go, sister. Have a safe journey."

Wen Li walked with her luggage. After walking for more than half an hour, she remembered that she had forgotten to call a taxi. She stopped again to look for her phone.

There was too much luggage and she didn't know where she had put her phone. She couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked. In desperation, she simply spread out all the luggage and rummaged through it, but still couldn't find the phone.

A car passed by her, drove away for a distance, and then backed up.

Someone got out of the car, squatted in front of her, and called her, "Sister, sister, are you okay?"

Wen Li looked up to see who was coming, but he couldn't focus. He could only see a vague shadow opposite him. His facial features were blurry and he couldn't tell who he was.

She waved him up and said politely, "Excuse me, I'm looking for my phone. I'll leave when I find it."

Cheng Yang held her hand tightly and let her look at what she was holding tightly in her hand.

"Sister, your phone is always in your hand."

Wen Li stared at it for a while before her eyes focused and she saw the phone she was holding tightly. She breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Cheng Yang, and then went to pack up her luggage that she had spread all over the floor.

Cheng Yang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out and pulled her up from the ground. He was younger than her, but he was already an adult male, and he was much stronger than her.

After he stood up, he was surprised to find that Wen Li's high heels only reached the bridge of his nose, making her look petite and cute.

He let go of her and said, "I'll help my sister clean up, just stand there and don't move."

Wen Li refused and wanted to squat down again.

Cheng Yang stopped her and told her to get in the car and rest. His manager and assistant also got out of the car and quickly packed Wen Li's luggage and put it in the trunk.

Cheng Yang said, "Sister, given your current condition, I don't feel comfortable letting you catch the high-speed train alone. How about this, I still have one day of itinerary to plan here, and we'll go back to Hai City together the day after tomorrow."

Wen Li just felt cold at the moment. It was already the beginning of summer and her relatives had left, but her hands and feet were still very cold and she was even shivering from the cold.

She looked at her phone over and over again. Because it was not clear enough, she had to rub her eyes. She rubbed her eyes several times before she could barely see clearly.

As for Cheng Yang's words, she didn't hear them clearly and naturally didn't respond.

Cheng Yang told the driver to drive, and then leaned over to ask Wen Li, "What are you looking at, sister?"

There were no messages from anyone on her phone, only a calendar that was frozen on the past two weeks.
