Being seen through, Wen Leqing was a little embarrassed. With the senior brother’s coat on her shoulders, she stood outside the car and asked, “Then where should I go now?”
“Anyway, you are a visiting professor at the medical school. Look at you, do you look like a professor now? Find a hotel to stay in first and clean up yourself. We will have a joint lecture tomorrow and a clinical consultation in a few days. Get business over before dealing with your romance. Wen Linhan is still in T City. What are you afraid of?”
“I’m not afraid. I…”
“Don’t explain, I don’t want to listen to any explanation. All I know is that you just said you wanted to go with me. You can’t back out. Now get in the car.”
“…”
Wen Leqing was speechless. She got into the car and gathered her clothes around.
The senior brother sat in the driving seat. When the door was closed, it was quiet in the car and only the breathing of them could be heard.
Instead of driving immediately, he sat in the car for a while. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, “You once said that Wen Linhan is a good brother. No matter before or after he found out that you were actually not blood-related, he treated you very well and doted on you like your other family members.”
Wen Leqing lowered her eyes, her voice a little dull. “Yeah.”
“So he kept saying that you were just his younger sister and he wouldn’t have any other feeling for you at all. Then why did he suddenly flew to T City? Why did he treat you this way today?”
Feng Ling didn’t speak.
At this time, the senior brother started the engine and drove the car away. After a while, he said calmly, “I think the person who should calm down is you. You have never understood Wen Linhan. Although you grew up with him, you have never seen his true colors.”
True colors?
What true colors?
Wen Leqing turned her eyes at him, but the senior brother just drove and did not speak anymore, but he looked a bit sullen. He was regretting he didn’t beat Wen Linhan harder. Since Wen Linhan was lying on the ground without fighting back, he should have punched him harder.

Feng Ling had a good night’s sleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she habitually wanted to call Ji Nuan and ask if she needed to go to T University to accompany her.
But then she remembered that Mr. Mo was in T City now, it was unnecessary for her to go over. After all, the young couple had just ended a cold war, so she didn’t make this call but lay down in bed for a little longer.
When she got up, she didn’t know if Li Nanheng was awake. But she didn’t go to the bedroom next door to check but went downstairs to buy breakfast.
She just had some wounds. It wouldn’t be any problem if she walked slowly. She didn’t want to keep staying alone in the room.
She went to buy breakfast and walked back. When she passed by a fitness area near the riverside downstairs, she saw many people doing morning exercises there, and many young couples came out for a walk early in the morning. It was a very harmonious and peaceful morning.
This neighborhood was downtown and no stalls were allowed here, but surprisingly, there were stalls in the early morning. Someone was selling the latest cell phone cases and screen protector films over there.
Feng Ling thought of her new cell phone. For her, any cell phone costing more than 1,000 yuan was expensive. She should protect well her new cell phone, so she walked over, chose a strong-looking cell phone case, and spent another ten yuan to have a screen protector film put on the phone screen.
Both the cell phone case and screen protector film were very cheap. She didn’t expect them to be so cheap, but it was great because she was frugal.
She was fiddling with her mobile phone, carrying breakfast to walk back, when suddenly a young couple who had been walking on the opposite side started arguing.
The man: “Do you know that I’d be angry too? You never tell me about your feelings or grievances. Have you ever treated me as your boyfriend?”
The woman: “I just don’t want to make you worry about me. I don’t think it necessary to tell my feelings to anyone…”
The man: “Then have you thought about me? I am your boyfriend. Shouldn’t I comfort you when you are aggrieved? Even if I can’t help you solve the problem, I can give you a hand. At least, you should let me know what you’ve been through. At least, I can be by your side. Do you really keep me in your heart? Do you really love me?”
The woman: “I… I don’t know…”
The man: “Since we were together, you minded so many things except for the relationship between us. You have been withdrawn since you were young, and now there is someone who is willing to love you, wait for you, and accompany you, but you just pushed me thousands of miles away. I really have enough of you! Let’s break up!”
The woman: “Let me explain…”
The man: “There is nothing to explain! You’re not honest enough in feelings! I am your man. When you need help the most, you’ve never thought of me. You never saw me in your eyes. The truth is simple and clear that you don’t love me enough…”
The woman: “I… I’m not… I…”
The little couple quarreled and walked away.
Standing on the spot, Feng Ling held the phone and fell into a trance.
The fitness area was directly opposite the hotel across the road.
At the window, Li Nanheng looked at the little woman who was in a daze, slowly took off the remote headset, picked up his cell phone, and dialed a series of numbers. After the call was connected, he said, “These two people have very lame acting skills. If it were someone else, they would have been seen through immediately. Where did you get the actor and actress?”
The “little couple” who had just finished their acting suddenly received unsatisfied feedback from the boss. For fear of not getting the payment, they hurriedly walked back along the same road while arguing, when they walked past Feng Ling, the woman purposely bumped into Feng Ling and quickly turned around to apologize to Feng Ling.
Feng Ling: “…It’s okay.”
She took a step back and was about to leave this place.
However, the little couple suddenly pushed and shoved to a tree next to the road. The man pressed the woman onto the tree and confined her between his arm and the tree, speaking with a low and affectionate voice, “Don’t you know why I am angry? It’s just because I love you! It is because I love you that I want to share everything with you and am willing to bear all the burdens for you! You have always been so stubborn. Do you want to be alone for life? I am willing to stay by your side forever. What about you? When will you open up your mind and let me embrace you?”
