Chapter 561 - 559 Past Dreams (14)
Jun Ting’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "That’s not really something you should be concerned about."Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuqi suddenly felt embarrassed and immediately lowered her eyes to look at the bag on her knees, "I was being nosy, sorry!"
The man glanced at his watch, seeing that it was already late, he stood up and said, "After work, I want to head home early. I’ll see Ran Ran now."
"Alright then!" Yuan Yuqi quickly stood up too, "Then I’ll go with Brother Huo! I was planning to go anyway."
Jun Ting gave her a meaningful look, and Yuan Yuqi, being smart, immediately understood his meaning, "Brother Huo, don’t worry. I know you only like my sister. I won’t have any irrelevant thoughts anymore."
The man said nothing, just went to the desk to grab the car keys and then walked out—
...
Yuan Yumeng heard from Sister-in-law Zhang that Jun Ting would come back today, so she decided not to have dinner in her room, specifically coming downstairs to wait for him.
The reason was, of course, because of that letter. Now the letter was in his hands, she had to find a way to get it back.
During this period, she thought she had behaved well, and she believed he might give it back. If not, then he truly was a jerk.
Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at the clock on the wall, the hour hand already pointed to seven o’clock, "Madam, maybe the gentleman got held up by something, let’s wait a bit more!"
"This dish... I’ll have someone reheat it."
Yuan Yumeng supported her chin with one hand, repeatedly stroking the phone screen, having indeed lived a rather decadent life over the past two years, but the only thing she developed was patience.
She wouldn’t be as easily frustrated as she used to be.
She comforted Sister-in-law Zhang instead, "It’s alright, let’s wait a bit more. He rarely comes back."
Sister-in-law Zhang couldn’t discern whether these words were said out of anger or were genuinely sincere.
Though the man hadn’t returned, rumors about him never ceased outside, be it with minor celebrities or young models, always busy without a break, looking like all of those women were seductive foxes, with heavy makeup that seemed piled on layer by layer to meet people.
Unlike the one at home, though not the epitome of beauty, she was pleasant to look at, with appropriately sized eyes, willow-leaf brows, a straight nose, and naturally red lips; having eaten less and been sick recently, she indeed looked unwell.
However, recently she had been obedient, slowly bringing back her complexion, revealing a pink tint underneath her fair skin, coupled with her simple and skin-friendly attire, looking far better than those flamboyant women outside.
After waiting until nine in the evening without seeing a shadow, Sister-in-law Zhang had called him twice but received no answer—
"Madam, about this..."
Yuan Yumeng looked at the table full of delicious food, "Forget it, Sister-in-law Zhang, let’s eat together! Don’t wait for him."
"Madam, I shouldn’t eat with you." Sister-in-law Zhang knew well she was just a servant.
Though the gentleman trusted her, a servant was still a servant, she shouldn’t cross the line.
Yuan Yumeng smiled faintly, "It’s alright, just keep me company. You wouldn’t want me to eat slightly cold food alone, would you?"
"Madam, I’ll have someone reheated."
"Don’t bother, sit down and eat together! It’s already late, let’s eat and rest early."
As she spoke, Yuan Yumeng had already picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat. She must have been out of her mind earlier to wait for him, truly like a resentful wife waiting for a husband who seldom comes home.
...
Jun Ting arrived home after eleven at night, glanced at the cold dining room, and immediately dashed upstairs—
Feeling anxious like a young man experiencing his first love.
