Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: When Did You Come Back?

"Then don’t lend it." Meng Yanzhi said directly, entirely different from Wen Yun’s hesitation.

Wen Yun looked at him, feeling inexplicably warm inside.

"She has quite a sharp tongue, very persuasive." Wen Yun gently reminded, almost insinuating that Wen Jiao was someone who would go to great lengths to achieve her goals.

"We’ll see when she can meet me."

Meng Yanzhi said indifferently.

After a while, Wen Yun finally reacted, bursting into laughter. She thought of Wen Jiao, full of ideas but unable to see the main person. Even if she had the skill to ascend to heaven, she couldn’t put it to use.

"You look pretty when you smile."

Meng Yanzhi blurted out as he watched her smile.

The smile on Wen Yun’s face suddenly froze.

Meng Yanzhi also realized belatedly, cleared his throat, and changed the subject: "By the way, I have to go on a business trip for some time starting tomorrow. You’re on leave this time; I probably can’t go back to see Grandpa, so could you..."

"No trouble at all." Wen Yun interrupted him, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll go visit Grandpa."

"Okay."

Meng Yanzhi stopped speaking, got up and went back to his room. He needed to sort out why he recently started to enjoy Wen Yun’s cooking.

When it was time, he would leave work voluntarily.

The old him wasn’t like this.

And just now, the compliments that slipped out, Meng Yanzhi felt things were not quite as he originally envisioned.

It must be because they’ve been spending too much time together recently.

Meng Yanzhi thought inwardly, inexplicably recalling Wen Yun’s sweet smile, her large eyes, seemingly holding starlight within, dazzling as ever.

Can’t think about it anymore.

Meng Yanzhi couldn’t rest in his room, picked up his phone, and planned to leave.

"Hey, are you leaving today?" Wen Yun had just showered, changed into loungewear, and seeing Meng Yanzhi about to leave, thought their relationship recently was somewhat friendly and asked.

"Mm."

Meng Yanzhi responded casually and strode out, without any unnecessary second words.

The door, opened and then closed again, leaving her alone in the house.

Wen Yun’s eyes dimmed, immediately went ahead to lock the house, turned off the lights, and returned to her room, hugged her teddy bear, and fell into a deep sleep.

Two days later, Wen Jiao, who hadn’t found Meng Yanzhi, came back to Wen Yun but was turned away by Wen Yun in just a few words.

Wen Jiao left angrily.

Wen Yun didn’t care whether she was angry or not. Even when Mr. Wen called, Wen Yun turned him down: "Dad, I’m your own daughter, that’s your niece, I have no money, if you feel like helping, why don’t you, Dad, lend it?"

Mr. Wen suddenly fell silent. Initially wanting Wen Yun to marry someone with the last name Gao had already upset Wen Yun. Now, married into the Meng Family, Mr. Wen naturally wouldn’t fall out with Wen Yun over this issue; he still counted on his son-in-law, relying on his son-in-law’s face, to earn more family assets.

Now, after the Wen Family became related to the Meng Family, business had become smoother than before, and Mr. Wen knew it was all thanks to his son-in-law.

"How are you and Yanzhi lately? You need to get along well and treat Yanzhi well, don’t argue with him."

"You’ve been married for half a year now, why is there still no news from your belly?"

"Once you’re married, you should have a child. With a child, your position as Mrs. Meng is also stable!"

"Wen Yun, don’t be like others and use birth control. Once you have a child, make sure to give birth!"

Mr. Wen changed the subject, hoping for good news immediately.

"Got it." Wen Yun casually agreed.

Ending the call, Wen Yun thought, if her belly really had a child, that would be quite strange.

"Wen Yun, just happened to pass by your hospital, why not have a meal together?"

Wen Yun had just left work and bumped into Hu Shuwei.

Hu Shuwei had been busy with work lately, and once work settled down, he came to find Wen Yun.

"Sorry, I have to go home." Wen Yun refused, "My husband is waiting for me to have dinner at home."

"Wen Yun, I don’t believe you’re really married."

Hu Shuwei straightforwardly spoke his mind: "How about inviting your husband out."

Hu Shuwei smiled cheerfully at Wen Yun, seemingly saying: Come on, keep making up stories, let’s see where you find a husband to invite out.

"Just right, I’ve never seen your husband, invite him out for a meal." Hu Shuwei added, seeing Wen Yun’s troubled expression, became more certain that Wen Yun was fabricating a nonexistent husband to deceive him.

"He’s on a business trip." Wen Yun answered awkwardly.

"Then when will he be back? We can set a date then." Hu Shuwei’s eyes squinted with laughter.

Wen Yun pursed her lips; how would she know when Meng Yanzhi would return from his business trip?

The longest before was half a year without seeing each other.

How could she set a date with Hu Shuwei?

"He has a lot of commitments and may not be able to schedule accurately." Wen Yun once again refused.

The grin in Hu Shuwei’s eyes widened, saying: "Wen Yun, don’t fool me anymore, it’s just one meal, and for old classmates’ sake, wouldn’t you at least have one meal?"

"Wen Yun, I do like you, but I’m not a wolf or tiger, won’t eat you up." Hu Shuwei was determined to have a meal with Wen Yun to reconnect old feelings, reaching out and grasping Wen Yun’s hand intending to lead her away.

"If you’re really worried, I’ll have Lijuan join us too." Hu Shuwei figured Wen Yun was shy, speaking as he pulled her.

"Stop pulling me."

Wen Yun instinctively disliked others coming too close to her, especially Hu Shuwei’s forceful approach displeased her even more.

"Come on, just for a meal."

The more Wen Yun rejected, the more Hu Shuwei wouldn’t let go, fearing losing this chance for good.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a man’s figure appeared, catching Hu Shuwei off guard, opening his hand and delivering a kick.

"Ah..."

Hu Shuwei screamed sharply.

Wen Yun only felt a darkness before her eyes, everything happening too quickly; she hadn’t reacted before bumping into someone’s embrace.

She painfully looked up and saw Meng Yanzhi, eyes wide, asking, "When did you come back?"

"Hmph."

Meng Yanzhi coldly snorted, his large hand gripping her slim waist, looking down loftily at Hu Shuwei.

"Don’t misunderstand, we’re sort of schoolmates, his sister is my classmate." Wen Yun explained, but regardless of her explanation, why did she feel so cold around her?
