It was more than looking alike.
He was exactly the same!
He did not have any twin brothers, so who would look exactly like him?
Shangguan Wan lowered her eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Strictly speaking, he was not exactly my boyfriend.”
Bailey took a sip of soup and could not help asking, “You must have loved him very much, didn’t you?”
Love?
Shangguan Wan did not know what it was to love someone.
She only knew that she only felt like a knife was twisted in her heart and that she regretted and missed him very much when she learned that he was gone!
She has always been a reserved and shy person in relationships. It was hard for her to show her feelings in front of outsiders. Instead of answering Bailey, she changed the topic. “What about you? How did you know him?”
Bailey glanced at the man beside her and the man received her smile, raising his hand and patted her head lovingly. “Let’s not talk while eating.”
Bailey stuck out her tongue. “He’s always so strict with me.”
Shangguan Wan watched the interaction between the two of them and a bitter feeling rose in her heart. Only a few bites of food made it to her mouth before she lost her appetite.
Perhaps she was not ready to endure his alienation and indifference. She did not want to stay here any longer.
She couldn’t.
Making up the first excuse the could think of, she left in a hurry. As soon as she left, the man’s gaze turned dark and complicated.
His vision slowly turned blurred until it became dark.
Throwing down his chopsticks, he stood up, planning to leave the dining room.
But he accidentally knocked his knee onto the corner of the dining table and the sharp pain made him wince.
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
When Bailey saw what had happened, she immediately helped him up. “Fifth Brother, you can’t see again?”
The man shook off Bailey’s hand and walked away without any expression.
As Bailey looked at his thin and lonely back, tears swam around in her eyes.
…
Ever since that day, Shangguan Wan had no courage to see him again the next day.
She was afraid to see the interaction between him and Bailey.
She was a coward when it came to relationships.
In the evening, Shangguan Wan reported to Mu Sihan about the work in Yukou Broder through a video call.
After talking about work, Shangguan Wan asked, “You’re not in the country?”
“The Prince has already pleaded guilty, and now the Interpol is going through the procedures. It won’t be long before we can clear the Qiao family’s name. Nan Zhi refused to return to the Capital for the time being, so I’ve brought Xiaojie over to see her and the children.”
“Wow, that’s great. Your family of five is finally reunited.”
Mu Sihan nodded and carefully looked at Shangguan Wan in the video call. Only then did he find that she looked haggard and even thinner than before, with deep dark circles under her eyes. He frowned and asked, “You’re still sad about Ye Yanfeng?”
At this moment, Nan Zhi appeared in the video with a cup of coffee. Shangguan Wan did not answer Mu Sihan’s question and greeted Nan Zhi with a smile, “Hi, Zhizhi, it’s been a while! You’re getting more and more feminine!”
Nan Zhi’s beautiful face lit up with a smile, showing her dimples and she looked incredibly stunning. She was already a mother of three, but she still looked very young, beautiful and feminine.
Shangguan Wan was quite envious of Nan Zhi. She felt that she was a winner in life. Although she had gone through many things with Sihan, they loved each other deeply and their love was unwavering!
“Zhizhi, do you have time? I want to talk to you alone for a while.”
“Yes.” Nan Zhi glanced at the man beside her and shot him a pointed look. “Your Majesty, please get going! Men can’t eavesdrop on women when they chat!”
