Wei Zhou replied, “She’ll be there in twenty minutes at most.”
Su Yan said, “It’s almost twenty minutes. Let’s wait for a while.”
Wei Zhou nodded. “No problem. But why do I feel like you’ve known Wang Xiaoxue for a long time?”
Su Yan’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes twitched. “It’s not that long. We’re all working under Miss Summer.”
Wei Zhou wasn’t interested in Miss Summer at all. Instead, he asked, “During the three years of marriage, you were a housewife. It wasn’t because you couldn’t find a job, but because of me, right?”
Su Yan didn’t say anything. She only turned her head and glanced at the man. Wasn’t his question all nonsense? He worked outside, and she was a domestic wife. She was willing to be a good wife for three years, but in the end, she was hurt.
Seeing that she had no intention to speak, Wei Zhou took a deep breath. He knew that he had hit the nail on the head again. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was laughable. Back then, he looked down on Su Yan because firstly, he thought that she worshipped money and was scheming, secondly, he felt that a woman like her liked to get something for nothing. Only now did he realize that she didn’t like to get something for nothing, but gave up her career to take care of the family.
After about ten seconds, Wei Zhou looked at Su Yan again with a solemn expression. “I’m sorry.”
He sincerely admitted his mistake and sincerely felt remorseful for his actions. Because money worshippers and scheming women had preconceived ideas, he had overlooked a truth. No matter how bad Su Yan was, she was, after all, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiang Du back then, and she even got into the best financial management major in Jiang Du University.
Hearing the man apologize again, Su Yan turned to look outside the car. She exhaled and said, “What’s the point of saying all this? It’s all in the past.”
During the three years of marriage, she had put in all her effort for three years, and all her hard work had resulted in a divorce. Her sincerity had long disappeared. To her, everything had really become in the past.
The only thing that made her secretly happy was that it was now Wei Zhou’s turn to regret. Their relationship had completely reversed. However, deep in her heart, she still didn’t want to talk about the past. After all, those three years had caused her too much harm.
Wei Zhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts, so he didn’t mention the past again. Instead, he asked, “Looking at your bloodshot eyes, you’re very sleepy, right?”
It would have been better if he didn’t say anything. Su Yan yawned after he said that. She had been following a fairly regular schedule in the months before the divorce, but it had become irregular in the past two to three months. Usually, she would go to bed around 9:30, however, it was already past 11 o’clock. Moreover, a lot of things had happened today. She felt tired and sleepy. If she hadn’t been afraid that Wang Xiaoxue would be in danger alone, she would have asked Wei Zhou to drive her home.
Recalling what had happened today, Su Yan leaned her head against the car window and dozed off. The temperature in Wei Zhou’s car was moderate, and in this warm and fragrant environment, she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier.
About fifteen minutes passed, and Wei Zhou’s secretary, Li Rong, finally arrived. Hearing the roar of the engine, Su Yan opened her eyes slightly. “Finally, she’s here. Let’s go.”
Wei Zhou nodded. “Okay, I’ll drive slowly. If you’re sleepy, you can sleep for a while.”
As he spoke, he lit up the car. The Rolls-royce, which had a parking ticket stuck to it, drove steadily toward the roundabout island in front of them. In a short while, it disappeared into the night.
..
The Floral Villa Scenic Spot.
When Wei Zhou drove Su Yan to her home, it was already twenty-four o’clock. Su Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Before closing the car door, she said, “Thank you for your hard work. Drive slowly when you get back.”
She was just being polite to the man. She didn’t say thank you or goodbye. She didn’t say thank you because the man had taken the initiative to send her off. She didn’t say goodbye because she didn’t want to see the man again.
“Wait, Su Yan,” Wei Zhou suddenly called out.
Su Yan paused. She frowned and said, “Huh?”
“You should be free this Sunday, right? I’ll treat you to a meal,” Wei Zhou said.
Su Yan said with a nonchalant smile, “Don’t worry, I definitely don’t have time.”
She only wanted to avoid this ex-husband who had hurt her. How could she be free to have a meal with him? Just looking at the man’s ice-cold face made her lose her appetite.
Seeing that she didn’t agree, the man didn’t force her. Instead, he said good night. Su Yan wasn’t in the mood to reply him. She pushed the car door open and went into the villa without looking back.
Looking at Su Yan’s back, Wei Zhou smiled. When Su Yan was napping just now, she looked like a little kitten that had just eaten its fill and was sleeping. Her appearance was simply too cute.
