Chapter 406: Chapter 404 Poor President Mu_1

She found a quiet cafe and sat there from morning until evening, staring blankly at the different kinds of people passing by the window, her gaze lost, her thoughts drifting···

All day long, she didn’t know how many men and women had passed by the window. There were singles, couples, and married pairs, and there were even two elderly people with graying hair, holding hands and shuffling slowly along the street—

Suddenly—she missed her parents who were far away abroad—

She didn’t know if they had eaten or if they missed her.

She really wanted to call them now, but she dared not... she was afraid that once she heard their voices, the grievances in her heart would gush out uncontrollably, and she wouldn’t be able to hold it back···

She sighed deeply, glanced at the time, and it was already nine o’clock in the evening···

He had probably left by now—

Only then did she leave the cafe, carrying her weary body···

When she got to the front door of her home, she hesitated for a moment before she finally took out the key and opened the door···

The room was pitch-dark, with only a faint light coming in from the window to add a hint of brightness to the interior.

She raised her hand to turn on the room light··· changed into slippers, and subconsciously walked toward the bedroom. But as soon as she reached the door, her steps suddenly froze. Although the bedroom light was off, the light from the living room faintly revealed a disheveled bed···

Her heart instinctively clenched, and scenes from the previous night replayed in her mind like a revolving lantern show.

She stood stiffly at the doorway for a long time before finally turning on the light and quickly tidying up the room with frayed nerves. Seeing that glaring red on the bed, she briskly stripped the sheets from the mattress and replaced all the bedding—

Just as she finished tidying up everything, she suddenly heard a series of urgent knocks at the door.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking she was hallucinating—

The knocking sounded again, and her heart relaxed a bit, realizing the sounds didn’t seem like that person···

That’s right, he had left, he was no longer in C City!

She then walked out of the bedroom, wanting to see who would be knocking on her door so late.

As she walked to the living room, she suddenly noticed a piece of paper prominently placed on the coffee table. She frowned, walked lightly to the table, and as her eyes fell on the paper, four bold characters forcefully entered her sight: "Wait for me to return!"

Her heart started pounding in an instant. She gently picked up the paper between her fingers.

The four characters were followed by three large exclamation marks, and rage flared up inside her in an instant. She clenched her teeth and, frustrated, crumpled the paper viciously into a ball! Without hesitation, she threw it into the trash can.

There came another round of knocking from outside. Moving closer, she could faintly hear Wanxia’s voice···

Another step closer, and she could finally hear clearly···

"Manhui... open the door, it’s me, Wanxia, I know you’re in there··· please open the door···"

The moment Jian Manhui heard Su Wanxia’s voice, a warm feeling instantly swept across her heart.

She raised her hand and gently opened the door—

Su Wanxia had been knocking frantically, worried that Jian Manhui was too heartbroken and had retreated into herself!

Thankfully, the next moment, the door finally opened—

Seeing Jian Manhui standing inside the door, Su Wanxia instantly breathed a sigh of relief—

"Manhui... where did you go today? I’ve been calling you and your phone was off, you scared me to death, do you know that..." Su Wanxia said, holding her hand and looking at her with a worried expression.

Jian Manhui looked at Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen who was following behind her, weakly smiled, and said, "My phone ran out of battery, I just went out to clear my head, you don’t need to worry..."

As a woman herself, how could Su Wanxia not distinguish the truth from the lies in her words?

However, considering Mu Yingchen was present, she also found it inappropriate to ask directly. Holding Jian Manhui’s hand, she couldn’t help but turn to look at Mu Yingchen, "Achen... why don’t you go back first? I want to stay here with Manhui tonight..."

Upon hearing Su Wanxia’s words, Mu Yingchen’s temple throbbed. This annoying Su Ran! What a bastard!

He had just left and couldn’t even let him have peace! Now he had even caused his wife not to go home with him!

He sighed with immense resignation and stepped into the room, "Forget it, I’ll stay in the spare bedroom..."

Having said that, without waiting for the two ladies to say anything, he turned and headed toward the spare bedroom...

Su Wanxia’s mouth dropped open in shock, thinking that something was off with Mr. Mu, the CEO, tonight...

To think he would stay over at Manhui’s place with her when he was usually so picky?

However... since he had said so, she couldn’t be happier.

"Wanxia... you should go back with Mu Yingchen, you don’t have to stay here with me..." Jian Manhui said, looking at Mu Yingchen’s displeased expression.

Su Wanxia chuckled and then took her hand as they walked toward the bedroom.

"It’s okay, let him sleep in the spare bedroom. Tonight, we can have a good chat..."

Poor Mr. Mu, the CEO, had to suffer loneliness and sleep alone on his first day of marriage.

Upon reaching the spare bedroom, he couldn’t resist complaining about Su Ran to himself again.

Su Wanxia and Jian Manhui lay side by side on the bed--

Jian Manhui remained silent, while Su Wanxia didn’t know if she should ask directly. But recalling Su Ran’s request for her to comfort Jian Manhui before he left, she cautiously tried to start the conversation.

"Manhui... um, are you okay?"

Jian Manhui knew that Su Wanxia was aware of her situation with Su Ran as soon as she saw Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen at her doorstep.

"You already know..." she said softly.

Su Wanxia blinked twice, actually not knowing how to console her. Usually, it was Mu Yingchen who comforted her. Suddenly having to comfort someone else, she had genuinely no idea where to start.

"Yeah, it was Su Ran who told me..."

No sooner had Su Wanxia spoken than she immediately regretted it, for Jian Manhui’s face turned even more somber.

"He asked me to take good care of you before he left. He and his grandfather had matters to attend to, so he went back first..."

Jian Manhui gave a bitter smile, "Wanxia... I’m starting to envy you and Mu Yingchen..."

Su Wanxia heh-heh’d awkwardly, "Please don’t envy us two; our love story, if told, is nothing but tears..."

Jian Manhui was amused by her words and began to laugh.

"Even though the journey is rough, isn’t there a saying, ’without experiencing the storm, how can one see the rainbow’?"

"That’s true, haha... So you and Su Ran are also in a period of adjustment now. Once this phase is over, naturally, it’ll be time for you to enter the wedding hall..."

Jian Manhui immediately broke into a wry smile, "It’s not as simple as you make it sound..."

Seeing Jian Manhui’s mood improve, Su Wanxia leaned in curiously, whispering, "Manhui, do you like or love Su Ran right now?"
