Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Do You Have Time?

After working overtime, being able to eat a hearty meal made Wen Yun feel incredibly satisfied!

This steaming hot food, compared to fried noodles and the cold bread taken out of the fridge, is incomparable.

Wen Yun secretly thought to herself, if Meng Yanzhi eats at home this late every day, could she also have meals with him?

However, Wen Yun’s prayer in her heart wasn’t heard by Meng Yanzhi.

The next day, Meng Yanzhi went on a business trip.

When Wen Yun returned home after work, she looked at the vast house with only her in it and felt a slight emptiness in her heart. Then she mockingly said to herself, "Wen Yun, oh Wen Yun, you’re destined to live alone in such a big house, so be content with it."

Ever since she was young, she didn’t have many playmates and was always by herself. In these past few days, having finally found someone to chat with after work, Wen Yun felt this place was like home.

But soon, it went back to being a solitary home.

For two consecutive days, Wen Yun got used to living alone again, revolving between work, home, and the supermarket.

The routine life felt fulfilling to Wen Yun. She wanted to save money and then visit the place where her mother once lived.

"Wen Yun, after graduation, did you become a nurse here?"

A surprised voice came.

Wen Yun looked at the girl in front of her and took a while to remember to ask, "Are you Hu Lijuan?"

"Yes, it’s me." Hu Lijuan looked Wen Yun up and down. After all these years, she still looked natural and pretty. No, over the years, Wen Yun seemed bolder than before; at least she didn’t always lower her head like when she was a student.

If Hu Lijuan hadn’t secretly envied Wen Yun for having such a pretty face, she probably wouldn’t have recognized her.

"Long time no see." Wen Yun smiled shyly. During her school days, she was either studying or doing part-time work and really didn’t have many acquaintances at school.

"You haven’t been seen at the last few class reunions. Would you like to come to the class reunion this time?" Hu Lijuan eagerly invited. "Oh, we haven’t met in so many years, how have you been? You haven’t married, have you?"

Hu Lijuan, looking at Wen Yun’s appearance, said before Wen Yun could answer, "You definitely haven’t married. You look like such a young girl, not like someone who’s married."

"I really envy you. Your skin is so good." Hu Lijuan looked at Wen Yun with a face full of envy and asked, "Aren’t nurses supposed to work shifts? How come you don’t have dark circles under your eyes?"

"Uh..."

With so many questions at once from Hu Lijuan, Wen Yun didn’t know which to answer first and awkwardly smiled.

Finally seeing Hu Lijuan off, Wen Yun thought to herself that she definitely wouldn’t attend such a class reunion.

Anyway, it’s not until the end of the year, so she won’t go.

Wen Yun doesn’t like such occasions. With the time spent there, she’d rather lie in bed and study the language of F. She wanted to visit F country and see the place her mother once lived.

During her break, Wen Yun made a special trip back to the Meng Family. After receiving her salary, she bought a gift for Grandpa Meng. The gift wasn’t particularly expensive, but it was Wen Yun’s thoughtful gesture.

It was a pure wooden footbath, with foot soak bags that Wen Yun had specially found, and after consulting a doctor, confirmed they were suitable for Old Master Meng to use.

"Good, this is good stuff."

Grandpa Meng praised. Even though these items weren’t worth much, Wen Yun’s thoughtfulness pleased him.

Now that the weather was getting colder, soaking in the new footbath with warm water not only warmed his feet but also warmed his heart. He felt more satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.

Satisfied with Wen Yun, he became more dissatisfied with Meng Yanzhi in his heart.

Grandpa Meng invited Wen Yun to stay for a meal. He made a call to Meng Yanzhi, who had just returned from a seven-day business trip and had just landed, and was immediately summoned back by Grandpa Meng’s persistent calls.

Wen Yun was cooking in the kitchen, unaware that Grandpa Meng had called Meng Yanzhi back. As she served the dishes on the table, she was bewildered to see Meng Yanzhi there.

"Xiao Yun, this stinky boy always goes on business trips, and once he got off the flight and heard you were here, he came over immediately," Grandpa Meng said with a smile, very earnestly matchmaking the two of them.

He believed that if Meng Yanzhi was willing to marry her, he must have feelings, even if it wasn’t love yet, just fondness. That fondness could transform into love!

Wen Yun smiled awkwardly, naturally not believing Grandpa Meng’s words.

It must have been Grandpa Meng who called Meng Yanzhi over; otherwise, why would Meng Yanzhi come?

"Stinky boy, speak up." Grandpa Meng glared at Meng Yanzhi.

His wife was right there, and Meng Yanzhi stood there like a wooden post, what was he trying to do?

"Yes, everything Grandpa says is right."

Meng Yanzhi smiled agreeably, heading into the kitchen to help of his own accord.

"Thank you." Meng Yanzhi genuinely expressed gratitude. With Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin both having their own affairs, Grandpa Meng was home alone most of the time. Although there was a caregiver, and someone accompanied Grandpa Meng, once Wen Yun arrived, Grandpa Meng seemed in excellent spirits.

"Grandpa treats me very well."

Wen Yun’s words also indicated that she came because Grandpa Meng was kind to her, not because of Meng Yanzhi.

"Are you not working today?"

Meng Yanzhi changed the topic, asking.

"It’s my day off." Wen Yun said, serving a bowl of red date poria cocos pork soup that she had specially made for Grandpa Meng after his doctor mentioned that it helps with sleep.

"What’s this soup?"

Meng Yanzhi looked at the soup in her hand.

Wen Yun explained as she carefully placed the soup on the table. With her nursing background, she was adept at taking care of patients, making Grandpa Meng delighted, drinking the soup and even finishing most of a bowl of rice.

Meng Yanzhi glanced at Wen Yun, noticing how gentle and soft her eyebrows and eyes were when speaking with Grandpa Meng. The sunlight filtered through the window, enveloping her in a halo of shimmering light.

He hadn’t expected that she could make Grandpa so happy. Previously, Grandpa would only be this joyful when his parents or Meng Siyu were home, or when Zaozao and Chenchen were. Now, Wen Yun could also make Grandpa so happy.

It seemed she needed to visit more often.

On the way back, Meng Yanzhi suggested, "Wen Yun, how about we come back and keep Grandpa company during the next holiday?"

"Sure." Wen Yun agreed promptly. After all, she didn’t have many relatives, and since Grandpa was kind to her, of course, she wanted to reciprocate. She had originally planned to spend her holiday with Grandpa, but...

Wen Yun paused for a moment, her gaze settling on Meng Yanzhi as she asked, "Do you have time?"
