“Brother Yun Ting, what if that Huangfu Hongfang is relentless, what should we do?”
Gu Luotang, holding Wan Yunting’s arm in the elevator, thought of the confrontation between them just now, and believed that Huangfu Hongfang would not give up easily and stop there.
“If others do not offend me, I will not offend them, and he was the one who provoked me first!”
Wan Yunting turned his head to look at her, sneered, and said, “If he dares to provoke me again, I will say the same thing: I will accompany him to the end, and let’s see who gets played to death first.”
“But…”
“Alright, Luotang.”
Wan Yunting stopped her, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, I won’t be reckless.”
“Okay.”
Seeing this, Gu Luotang had no choice but to nod, but she felt guilty. She knew that it was because of her that Huangfu Hongfang sought trouble with her man… Read books.
The elevator doors opened, and Gu Luotang walked out with Wan Yunting’s arm around his. As they walked down the corridor back to their room, they bumped into Fang Guowen, who had just opened his door and come out. Fang Guowen immediately saw Gu Luotang’s arm around Wan Yunting, which made his eyes freeze for a moment…
Gu Luotang, who had reacted, immediately let go of Wan Yunting’s arm. Fearing to face Fang Guowen, she quickly lowered her head, feeling extremely nervous…
Wan Yunting also looked a little embarrassed, not expecting Fang Guowen to see them. He smiled and said, “Uncle Fang, are you going out?”
“Mmm…”
Fang Guowen nodded and said, “I still need to check on the arrangements at the cultural center. The Lanting Award calligraphy competition will start tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, you must get up at eight o’clock and arrive at the cultural center at nine o’clock, do you understand?”
“Okay, I remember.” Wan Yunting nodded and smiled. The nervous Gu Luotang beside him also nodded slightly, neither of them daring to look up…
Fang Guowen pointed to the elevator, “Then you go back and rest. I’m going out.”
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, “Okay, Uncle Fang. Call me if you need any help. Don’t get too tired either.”
“Got it.”
Fang Guowen nodded and passed by them, directly entering the elevator without saying anything more…
Wan Yunting watched him enter the elevator. After the doors closed, he gently pulled Gu Luotang, who was still lowering her head nervously, “He’s gone.”
Hearing this, Gu Luotang slightly raised her eyes to look. Seeing that Fang Guowen had really left, she felt relieved. Then, she turned her head to look at Wan Yunting, her eyes revealing a complex gaze, and then said, “Brother Yun Ting, you should rest early. I’m going back.”
“Oh…”
Watching Gu Luotang quickly walk away, open her room door, and enter, how could Wan Yunting not know what she was thinking? He couldn’t help but sigh, took out his room card, opened his room door, and entered…
Fang Guowen walked out of the elevator and headed towards the hotel entrance. He couldn’t help but take out his phone to call his daughter…
Meanwhile, in his study at home, Fang Yanxi heard her phone ring. She thought it was Wan Yunting calling, but it turned out to be her father. So, she picked it up and asked, “Dad, why are you calling me? Is something wrong?”
Fang Guowen looked serious and asked, “Yanxi, tell me honestly, did you and Xiao Wan have a falling out and are no longer together?”
Hearing this, Fang Yanxi’s pretty face froze, and she asked suspiciously, “Dad, why are you suddenly saying this? He and I are doing well, we’re together.”
“Really?”
Fang Guowen frowned, but was somewhat disbelieving.
As a man, Fang Guowen could tell at a glance from the natural way Gu Luotang held Wan Yunting’s arm and her gaze that Gu Luotang definitely had a relationship with Wan Yunting!
After all, Fang Guowen also knew that they had been trapped in a cave together in the disaster area before.
Fang Yanxi smiled and said, “How could I lie to you about something like this, Dad? Have you seen those fabricated news reports again, causing you to be suspicious?”
“No.”
Fang Guowen was walking on the street, preparing to take a taxi to the cultural center, and said, “You should know Gu Luotang, right? The one who was trapped in the disaster area with Xiao Wan before.”
Hearing her father mention Gu Luotang, Fang Yanxi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she hummed, “I know.”
“My girl, listen to your dad’s advice. You need to hold onto Xiao Wan tightly. Many girls like him now, especially Gu Luotang. She’s a talented woman, not only beautiful, but she’s also the granddaughter of Gu Yuanbai and studies medicine. They have common interests, so you need to be careful, understand?” Fang Guowen said anxiously.
Because their Fang family had recognized Wan Yunting as their future son-in-law, “This way, when we go back, you should propose marriage to Xiao Wan. As soon as you get married, the women around him will naturally leave consciously. Do you understand?”
Hearing her father’s words, Fang Yanxi was stunned.
In fact, Fang Yanxi knew that her man had a relationship with that Gu Luotang without Fang Guowen saying it. However, she just turned a blind eye. She also knew what Wan Yunting and that woman had been through, so Fang Yanxi did not openly point it out.
“Dad, I know. I’ll talk to him when he gets back,” Fang Yanxi said.
“Remember, you must marry Xiao Wan as soon as possible, so that your mother, your grandfather, and I can rest assured,” Fang Guowen added.
Fang Yanxi smiled and nodded, saying, “Okay, I know. I’ll hang up for now.”
After the father and daughter hung up, Fang Guowen took a taxi to the cultural center…
Fang Yanxi held her phone, her heart sinking slightly. After thinking for a moment, she used WeChat to make a video call to her man. However, before she could press the button, Wan Yunting called her with a video call.
Fang Yanxi answered, and the screen immediately showed the man leaning on the bed in the hotel room. Wan Yunting smiled and asked, “Yanxi, are you busy again?”
“Mmm, aren’t you out having fun?”
Fang Yanxi looked at him and asked with a smile.
“I visited Lu Xun’s former residence and memorial hall with Luotang and the others this afternoon. After dinner, I just got back to the hotel. Before I even took a shower, I called you for a video call,” Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Fang Yanxi didn’t expect her man to admit it so readily and smiled, “So you had a good time!”
“Yes.”
Wan Yunting propped his head with one hand, holding the phone to himself with the other, and said with a smile, “Indeed, Shaoxing has fun places, especially the former residences of literati. We visited Mr. Lu Xun’s memorial hall today. If it weren’t for the calligraphy competition tomorrow, we would have planned to go to Hangzhou to visit. How about it, Yanxi, after I return to Huadu City this time, I’ll take you to Hangzhou for a trip. What do you think?”
“Okay, then let’s talk about it after your competition and when you get back,” Fang Yanxi nodded.
Then, Wan Yunting chatted with her for a while. Fang Yanxi still had documents to review, so she hung up the phone with him…
For a moment, Fang Yanxi felt a little uncomfortable. She knew that Wan Yunting had several women around him now!
Even the women who appeared in the disaster area last time were more or less related to him. Especially this Gu Luotang, it could basically be confirmed that she was already with him.
To be honest, Fang Yanxi felt a little angry and sad now…
She had even considered making a choice with her man!
But could she really make a choice?
Fang Yanxi knew she couldn’t, because she really loved this man too much…
Meanwhile, as Wan Yunting put down his phone while leaning on the headboard, through the video call with her, he understood that Fang Yanxi’s unusual calmness compared to before indicated that she probably knew about his relationship with Gu Luotang.
At this moment, Wan Yunting also felt very distressed, knowing that his philandering had failed Fang Yanxi.
But now, he and Gu Luotang were inseparable. If Fang Yanxi really asked him to make a choice, what would he choose?
Should he choose Fang Yanxi, or Gu Luotang?
Wan Yunting couldn’t choose, so he felt distressed and regretful now, worrying whether Fang Yanxi would make trouble for him when they returned to Huadu City, or even leave him?
“Alas…”
Wan Yunting got out of bed and walked out of the room onto the balcony, overlooking the night view of Shaoxing City. His mind suddenly thought of everything that happened in the stone chamber of the cave dwellings of Senior Kang Guangling and Li Qingshui in the valley bottom of the Kunlun Mountains.
Although it was only a few days, that moment of beauty was forever imprinted in Wan Yunting’s heart.
“I wonder if Senior Sister Zhou has returned to Mount Emei, and how she is now? Perhaps she is also scolding me as a scumbag and a faithless man…” Wan Yunting looked at the dark night sky and couldn’t help but give a self-deprecating bitter smile.
He was like this with Fang Yanxi, yet he was still thinking about Zhou Ruoxi. He was indeed a scumbag.
Although what Grandpa Chang said at the Wuliang Taoist temple made sense, Wan Yunting really couldn’t achieve that kind of carefree disposition because that wasn’t his nature…
At Mount Emei in Sichuan, on the back mountain of the Emei Sect, a white silhouette stood at the edge of a viewing cliff. The cold night wind blew, fluttering Zhou Ruoxi’s dark hair and her flawless white long dress and cloak.
The woman’s autumn eyes sparkled with light, and she stared blankly at the dark night sky, her mind filled with the scenes she had experienced with that man at the bottom of the valley, replaying in her mind like a movie…
Although it had only been a little more than ten days since she met that man and became intimate with him, for Zhou Ruoxi, it felt like a lifetime had passed. It was as if she owed that man in her previous life, and he appeared to torment her…
However, the beautiful memories she shared with him at the bottom of the valley were etched into Zhou Ruoxi’s memory, making it impossible for her to forget him for the rest of her life.
Perhaps, this memory could only remain in her heart forever…
However, could Zhou Ruoxi truly let go?
