Chapter 140. Breaking Up

Among the graduation ceremonies held by Haishi University this year, the one held by the School of Life Sciences was the grandest. It was said that the Huo Group sponsored a large sum of money and invited many reporters to attend, making the graduation ceremony extremely grand.

When Wen Li walked over, he could still hear the students' excited discussions.

"This year's ceremony is so grand. I heard that in the past it was just a simple formality, handing out diplomas and that was it, but this year they actually prepared graduation gifts for every graduate."

"The Huo Group is willing to sponsor the graduation ceremony this year, probably because of An Wen. Everyone knows that she has a good relationship with Professor Huo. Didn't you see that she is also the outstanding graduate this year?"

"We are so lucky to be in the same class as An Wen. We have benefited from this."

"An Wen was admitted as Professor Huo's graduate student. I heard that Professor Huo had reserved a place for her in the key experimental project before she even enrolled, and was waiting for her to register at the beginning of the semester."

"Professor Huo is really good to An Wen."

"Of course I'll tell you. I heard that An Wen's family has a very good relationship with the Huo family. She knew Professor Huo when she was in elementary school. She was like Professor Huo's biological sister. How could I not treat her well?"

"I'm so envious of An Wen. She has a good family background, good grades, and is pretty. She also has a neighbor brother like Professor Huo. She must have gotten a cool script."

...

Wen Li walked against the flow of people, ignoring the discussions.

She called Huo Yuanchen, and when the call didn't go through the first time, she called again, and when that didn't go through again, she called again.

She will leave tomorrow, so she must call him today no matter what.

Didn't he always say that she disappeared without saying anything? Well, she said hello to him this time, so he couldn't blame her anymore.

She listened to the monotonous and repetitive reminder tone on the phone and kept telling herself in her heart, this is the last time, this is the last time.

Have a beginning and an end, and part ways in peace.

I can’t remember which number I called when the call finally got through.

Wen Li first heard a very noisy background noise, as if someone was singing. The pitch was not very good, but the singing was full of emotion.

Then she heard the singer shout, "Brother Yuanchen, it's your turn."

Huo Yuanchen said, "Answer the phone. I'll sing the next song with you."

The song was cut off halfway through and the singer was replaced by someone else.

When the prelude of the next song was halfway through, the background sound disappeared. It was probably because Huo Yuanchen went outside the KTV.

He asked Wen Li, "What's the matter?"

Wen Li didn't know how to tell him.

She didn't know what her current relationship with Huo Yuanchen was like. The two had been in a cold war for too long, and it was no longer considered a relationship, but he didn't agree to break up, so the relationship was hanging in the air.

She was going to the island with Cheng Yang for three months. She wanted him to remember her father's medicine. Also, he was not to contact her during these three months, even if he couldn't contact her.

Saying something like this is almost the same as breaking up.

She was unsure of how Huo Yuanchen would react, and she was worried that he would not let her go. After a long moment of anxiety, she asked him, "Where are you now? I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk in person."

Huo Yuanchen asked her, "What can't be said over the phone?"

Wen Li hesitated for a moment, but still insisted, "Let's talk in person. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Before Huo Yuanchen could speak, An Wen's voice rang out, saying, "Brother Yuanchen, come on, the next song is ours."

Wen Li lowered his eyes and thought, I don’t know what song he and An Wen were singing.

However, the songs ordered by men and women in KTV are most likely love songs. They will not sing "Catching Loaches".

She knew what was good for her, and since she couldn't let Huo Yuanchen refuse, she took the initiative to say, "Forget it, you go ahead and do your work first."

Huo Yuanchen stopped her and said, "I'm almost done here, about half an hour left. How about this, you go to my apartment, I'll be back in about an hour."

Wen Li said "hmm" and agreed.

When she hung up the phone, she could still hear An Wen complaining about Huo Yuanchen being too slow.

She arrived at Huo Yuanchen's apartment building on time an hour later. Before going up, she deliberately turned to his parking space and took a look. Seeing that the car he often drove was already parked in the parking space, she went upstairs with peace of mind.

She knocked on the door and waited for a long time before it opened. The person who opened the door was not Huo Yuanchen.

It’s An Wen.

The moment she saw An Wen, she finally understood what Yu Jingchen meant by "she's dressed quite sexy".

An Wen was only wearing a short suspender skirt with a neckline that reached above her chest. There were only two thin straps on her shoulders, revealing her collarbone.

When she opened the door and stuck her head out, her cleavage was vaguely visible because she bent over a little.

Wen Li suppressed the emotions in his eyes and said calmly, "I'm here to find Huo Yuanchen."

An Wen's eyes flashed with undisguised disgust. She blocked the door and refused to let Wen Li in, saying, "Brother Yuanchen is not convenient to see you right now."

Wen Li raised his eyebrows and said, "No way, he asked me to come here, how could it be inconvenient?"

An Wen refused to give in and said , "Brother Yuanchen just made an appointment with you, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and it is really inconvenient for him now. In fact, it is not convenient for him to see anyone now."

Wen Li took a step forward and said, "Ask Huo Yuanchen to come and talk to me."

An Wen reached out and pushed her, saying impatiently, "How come you don't understand what I'm saying? If I say it's inconvenient, then it's inconvenient."

She paused, looked at Wen Li provocatively, and said, "What you could do back then, I can do too. When Brother Yuanchen gets a taste of my kindness, how could he still care about you?"

Wen Li understood.

She looked at An Wen's suspender skirt for a moment.

The little girl was not willing to be outdone. She straightened her back and said to her, "What are you looking at? I have what you have. Besides, I am younger than you and have a better personality. Anyone would know who to choose."

Wen Li sneered, nodded in agreement, and then, under An Wen's gaze, took out a small square box from her bag.

"He's run out of the ones at home, and he always forgets to buy new ones."

She handed the box to An Wen and said, "You are right, you are still young. Even if you like it, you must protect yourself."

An Wen's face flushed red. She raised her hand and threw the box at Wen Li, saying in a sharp voice, "Wen Li, what are you showing off to me? You are just a toy that Brother Yuan Chen got tired of playing with. What are you so proud of?"

Wen Li smiled at her, ignored her, and turned away.

She thought there was no need to say goodbye to Huo Yuanchen, as he might not have time tonight.

She walked out of the community. At first, she was normal, but then she walked faster and faster, as if someone was chasing her. When she was almost at the gate of the community, she was almost running.

When she ran outside, she suddenly remembered that her car was still parked downstairs of the apartment building.

She turned back and walked back to the downstairs of Huo Yuanchen's house despite the strange gaze of the security guard.

When she got in the car, she couldn't help but look up in the direction of his house. She could only vaguely see that the door was closed.

An Wen has already gone in.

At this moment, the two of them might have hugged each other.

Her face suddenly felt wet. She raised her hand to touch it and realized that she had been crying without knowing when.

She was obviously not in a good condition to drive, but she didn't want to go out, for fear that others would see her in such a miserable state.

She sat in the car for a long time and felt so depressed that she couldn't help but call Michelle Yim.

As soon as the call was connected, she heard Michelle Yim calling her gently, "Xiao Li."

The tears started to flow more and more.

She sniffed and almost choked up as she said, "Aunt Qi, Huo Yuanchen and I broke up."
