The dogfight between Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen had finally begun.
After knowing the truth about Ning Shuqian’s poor background, Wen Haowen wanted to divorce her as soon as possible to get rid of her. This way, even if he beat her up in the future when she overstepped her boundaries and cheated on him, the news of her lowly birth would not affect him since they would be divorced by then.
Meanwhile, Ning Shuqian was in for a penny, in for a pound. She took the initiative to reveal this news to the media and was even facing Wen Haowen in court. Her methods were vicious.
The news was related to the private affairs of the CEO of the Wen Corporation which was also linked to the entire Wen Family. As such, the media covered this news even more relentlessly.
Ning Shuqian was ruthless!
Wen Haowen was also not easy to deal with.
The show of the couple turning against each other had just started.
Wen Xinya went to the hospital to get a document and saw Zhong Rufeng, who could usually only be seen on television.
Zhong Rufeng was wearing a white shirt and a navy blue suit. His slender figure seemed even more upstanding, sturdy and elegant, giving off a clear aura like jade.
The people around him who were wearing similar suits had inferior body figures, making his charm stand out even more.
When Zhong Rufeng saw her, he smiled. After exchanging a few words with the people around him, he walked towards her. “Who would have expected that we would meet at the hospital. What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Zhong Rufeng looked at her with concern.
He had not seen her in a long time, ever since Wen Xinya got engaged.
Occasionally, she would visit the Zhong family to visit his grandfather. On one hand, he was too busy to meet her, and on the other, he had intentions to avoid her. He was not one who would get too entangled in others’ business.
He treated Wen Xinya just as his own people. He was indifferent yet thoughtful.
Wen Xinya shook her head and waved the document in her hands. She smiled and said, “I’m here to collect a document.” After that, she glanced at him and blinked repeatedly. “But, Vice Mayor Zhong, it seems like you have some business to attend to. Am I disrupting your work?”
Zhong Rufeng had become a new star in the capital city’s politics in just around 5 years since he became an official.
Just a while ago, he rose to the position of the vice mayor of the Capital city. As such, he became even busier with his workload. She only saw him occasionally on the news on television.
Whenever he appeared, he shone like the stars. He had the steady aura of a true leader.
From what Xu Tongxuan said, Zhong Rufeng had already become the ideal man of many women in the capital city. Every night, these women would wait for the 6 PM news just to see Zhong Rufeng’s elegant appearance.
Previously, in the [Which of these male gods do you wish to have intimate relations with?] poll that Zhou Tianyu had created, Zhong Rufeng came in second!
“The capital city will be reforming our healthcare. I’m only here in the hospital today for some inspection. There’s nothing much to disrupt.”
Zhong Rufeng looked at her beautiful features and cunning expression. She was just the same as always. However, he had changed. Whenever he faced Wen Xinya, he was not as magnanimous as her.
He could not help but feel a little remorse!
Wen Xinya gazed in the direction of somewhere nearby and said, “They seem to be waiting for you. Is it really okay for you to just leave them hanging?”
The people who were accompanying Zhong Rufeng were engaged in their own conversation. They would look over to them from time to time. It was not hard to tell that their eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.
Zhong Rufeng replied, “There’s no problem!”
He had already informed them earlier that they could leave first.
Just then, the few people who came with Zhong Rufeng took one glance at them before they left together.
Wen Xinya could not resist teasing him. “Vice Mayor Zhong is as grand as expected. No matter where you are, you have people following you. You are really looking just like a leader. Even if I want to meet you, I can only see you on television. Do I have to make an appointment with your secretary first if I want to contact you?”
Zhong Rufeng was really busy with work.
In these past 2 years, she had visited the Zhong family often but had never once run into him.
Grandfather Zhong had complained to her more than once that the more prominent his grandson became, the busier he was and could never be seen.
“My personal number is always available 24/7. No matter when, if you want to meet me or contact me, I’ll be free to keep you company.”
Zhong Rufeng adjusted his attitude and was more at ease facing Wen Xinya.
Actually, when it came down to it, the two of them were just not fated!
Wen Xinya said graciously, “Okay! But no matter how busy you are, you should still go back and visit Grandfather Zhong more often. Every time I see him, he would whine and curse at you!”
With that, she could not help but smile.
“He completely embarrassed his grandson like this.”
Zhong Rufeng could not help but have an impulsive thought. He was not afraid of having a god-like opponent, but of a leader who would hold him back. He suspected that the reason he did not manage to woo Wen Xinya was because of his grandfather who was always getting in his way, criticizing him in front of Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya could not resist laughing. “How have you been recently?”
She pretty much knew about Zhong Rufeng’s feelings for her. However, her relationship with him was platonic. They could be close friends, but he was not a person who would crack no matter what, and she was also hard to read. This ruined their relationship.
Fortunately, Zhong Rufeng was generous and open-minded, which she truly admired.
Zhong Rufeng smiled and said, “The same as always. What about you?”
Wen Xinya smiled. “The same as always too.”
Zhong Rufeng took a step forward and closed the gap between him and her. He suddenly leaned forward and gave Wen Xinya a kiss on her forehead. “Xinya, I wish you the best!”
There was a meaning to kissing one on their forehead, which was to bless them.
The warm lips on her forehead took Wen Xinya by surprise. However, she got used to it soon. She looked sincerely at Zhong Rufeng and a smile blossomed on her face.
“Thank you!”
Zhong Rufeng gave a small smile. The complicated feelings he had in his heart disappeared.
In this world, there were only a handful of men like Ninth Si who could ignore one’s age and make a move the moment he set his eyes on someone. He had marked Wen Xinya as his since a long time ago.
Xu Zhenyu and he were both failures!
And the reason for their failure was the same.
They failed because of Wen Xinya’s age. They had believed that Wen Xinya was too young to be talking about relationships, and decided to only woo her when she was older.
As such, Xu Zhenyu persisted in going to the Northeast. He came back in glory after three years and appeared before Wen Xinya as a man.
As for him, he watched over Wen Xinya for three years and witnessed her growth. During then, he had always restrained himself.
He did not realize that he should not have been caught up in weighing the factors when he had developed feelings for her. In the end, he missed his opportunity!
