Chapter 21 What's so good about men?
Wen Shuyi apologized repeatedly.
The person opposite her didn't say anything, but simply raised their hand to support her.
Wen Shuyi took two deep breaths, then smiled and looked up, "Thank you..."
A polite curve lingered at the corner of his lips.
Her heart ached for no reason.
It was Sheng Ting who made this up.
And so, three years later, they met again unexpectedly.
The feelings of obsession, hatred, and resentment were not that intense.
It felt more like a reunion of old friends.
"Long time no see, Shuyi." His gaze towards her carried a message that made her uneasy.
Wen Shuyi slowly withdrew her arm.
He took a step back.
"Indeed, it's been a long time."
"Can we find a place to talk?" He took a step towards her, but Wen Shuyi took three steps back in quick succession, smiling as she declined, "No, Third Master, I have important things to do, I'll be going now."
She passed him without a trace of regret.
He gazed at her retreating figure, lost in the memory of their affair three years ago.
Her long hair was entwined around his fingertips.
Panting, ecstatic.
Sweating profusely, she wrapped her small hands tightly around his waist.
That soft touch is still there.
But her long hair was long gone.
Wen Shu also fled back to her room.
Meeting Sheng Li was an accident, but bumping into Sheng Tingwang face to face was something she never even imagined.
When bad luck strikes.
They didn't even give her a chance to catch her breath.
"Shuyi, what did the client say?" Zhang Erfei noticed that Wen Shuyi's complexion wasn't good, so he brought her a glass of iced cola. "Shuyi, if you're not feeling well, you should rest first. I'll take care of the work."
"I'm sorry, Erfei, this design order is probably going to go down the drain," Wen Shuyi said.
Zhang Erfei was puzzled. "Is he not satisfied with our design? I can revise it again."
"He's my ex-boyfriend, a scumbag who dumped me. We broke up three years ago. I don't know what he was thinking, designing this ring, saying he wanted to get back together with me." Wen Shuyi told the truth, "I didn't agree."
"Damn it," Zhang Erfei cursed, then quickly realized, "Well, if we don't want this deal, we don't have to. Ex-boyfriends are the most disgusting kind of people. Sister Shuyi, I support you. Let's just treat this as a vacation. Anyway, Sister CICI is easy to talk to. We can just explain it when we get back."
"I've dragged you into this, Erfei," Wen Shuyi said apologetically.
Zhang Erfei waved his hand, "Nothing of the sort, don't take it to heart, you should rest first."
……
Zhang Erfei booked a boat ticket back to the city.
The earliest is tomorrow.
The situation is about to change drastically.
The phone received a message that all ships should cease departure.
The typhoon made landfall ahead of schedule.
The entire hotel was on high alert.
The tourists can't get out.
People were everywhere.
Zhang Erfei went to eat.
Wen Shuyi was alone in the guest room, staring blankly at the raging wind and rain outside.
The weather was just like this on the day she had her ectopic pregnancy.
It's very windy.
Thunder and lightning struck.
She was shivering with cold when she was wheeled out of the operating room.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Sheng Tingwang: "[Could you come back to China for a while?]"
He didn't reply.
Perhaps it was then that she lost all hope in him.
Sheng Li said that Sheng Tingwang and Xu Chuyin got married.
That's great. His former love has become the bride of his dreams. She doesn't mind his past physical betrayal and is willing to live a good life with him. He should love her even more now.
Wen Shu also laughed at himself.
Ultimately, whether it was the two years with Sheng Li or the two times with Sheng Tingwang, she was a joke.
So what's so great about men?
There was a knock on the door.
Wen Shuyi noticed that her eyes were wet.
She washed her face before opening the door.
It was Sheng Ting who made this up.
She instinctively reached to close the door, but he raised his hand to stop her. "You really don't want to see me?"
"Third Master is joking. We are not so close that a day apart feels like three autumns."
Her cool eyelids slowly lifted, and no matter how she tried to hide it, a hint of resentment still showed in her eyes.
Sheng Tingwang gazed into her eyes, which were feigning indifference, and said softly, "But I miss you so much."
Wen Shuyi smiled.
How many more times will it take to prove that she is truly beyond redemption?
"It seems that Third Master's married life... isn't very pleasant. Sorry, I'm not selling."
"You know what I've been doing for the past three years..." Sheng Ting tried to explain something.
Wen Shuyi smiled and interrupted him, "...You don't need to tell me how Third Master spent those three years; I have no interest in hearing about it."
"Then tell me, how have you spent the past three years?"
Wen Shuyi seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "I have no interest in telling an outsider how I've spent the past three years."
"Why bother?" he frowned.
Wen Shuyi looked at him indifferently. "Third Master, what would satisfy you? I don't think I have any dealings or conflicts with you, Third Master. Could it be that I offended you without your knowledge? If you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, shouldn't you give me a reason?"
The man's complexion wasn't good.
He stepped inside and closed the door.
Wen Shuyi took three steps back, looking at the tall man in front of her with full of vigilance.
Is he getting angry out of embarrassment?
Even if she should be angry, she should be the one to be angry first.
He took a step forward, and she took a step back.
Only when her back was pressed against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat, did she look up at him again. "What is Third Master trying to do? Are you trying to bully the weak?"
"Do you still remember me?" He gave a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.
Wen Shuyi's face instantly flushed a damn red.
She suspected he was making a suggestive joke and frowned impatiently. "What do you want?"
"Did you miss me?" His chest pressed tightly against hers, and his voice sounded somewhat aroused.
Distance breeds ambiguity, and even intimacy can lead to stagnation.
She hated this ambiguity and the overly familiar scent emanating from him. "Why would I miss you? That's ridiculous."
"That day, I left in a hurry..." he tried to explain what happened three years ago.
Wen Shuyi didn't want to listen at all. "That day? Which day? Third Master, are you mistaken? Are we that close in private? If I'm not mistaken, Third Master, aren't you married? It's probably... inappropriate for you to be so close to a woman other than your wife, maintaining this distance."
"You care?" he asked in a low voice.
Wen Shuyi thought he was pretending to be stupid and corrected him, "I care about my reputation."
"You really care about your reputation. You haven't even had a boyfriend in the past three years." He held her chin with his large hand and naturally kissed her lips.
Wen Shuyi turned his head away, his lips brushing against her earlobe, but he didn't succeed. "What? It's been three years, and you've forgotten how to kiss?"
Wen Shuyi turned her face away.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with anger. "Are you sick? What's our relationship that I had to kiss you? Sheng Tingwang, you're a married man, where do you get the confidence to expect others to accept your horny behavior?"
She pushed him hard.
He didn't move an inch.
Wen Shuyi became even angrier.
"If you have something to say, then say it; if not, please leave."
She's leaving.
He pinned her down, refusing to give in.
During their struggle, she bit his arm deeply, leaving a clear tooth mark.
"Do you hate me that much?" He wanted to hug her, but she resisted him fiercely. "If you're still not satisfied, you can slap me a few times."
