Not every unforgettable experience can be cultivated into a positive result. The person we love the most may not be the one who will grow old with us.
Wen Nuan sat in the living room of Xiao Jue's house and watched quietly as Xiao Jue brought her coffee and cut fruits. The coffee had sugar and milk in it, and the fruits were Wen Nuan's favorite. Xiao Jue sat across from Wen Nuan after he was done with everything. There was only a coffee table between them, and the light purple chandelier reflected each other's expressions clearly. The room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of a pin dropping.
Wen Nuan lowered her head and drank her coffee silently, trying to hide the complicated feelings in her heart. She did not know how to explain her purpose of coming, but she realized that her palms were actually sweaty.
Xiao Jue saw that Wen Nuan had lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, so he took the initiative to break the silence." Nuan Nuan, just come. Why did you bring things? You're treating me like an outsider. Your Ning Yuan and Wanqing are fine, right?"”Xiao Jue didn't know what to say. His gaze fell on the two boxes that Wen Nuan had brought. He felt that Wen Nuan wasn't here just to visit him.
After a long while, Wen Nuan slowly raised her head and mumbled," I know you like to drink tea. These two boxes of tea leaves were brought back by Ning Yuan when he went on a business trip to Yunnan. It's said that they were newly picked by the tea farmers when he bought them, so I brought them for you to try. Ning Yuan and Wanqing are both good. By the way, when do you plan to find a mother for Kunpeng? The family needs a mistress. I think that's what Sufang wants too."
Xiao Jue frowned and said lightly," I don't need a woman. My grandparents and aunt will take care of Kun Peng. I don't care about myself. Nuannuan, you seem to have something on your mind. Why don't you tell me?"
Xiao Jue's straightforwardness was within Wen Nuan's expectations. From the beginning to the end, she had no secrets in front of him. No matter how well she hid her boredom, he would see through her. Before she was fifteen, she regarded Xiao Jue as her brother and confidant. After fifteen, she regarded him as her lover and confidant. Now, however, she had returned to the original brother and confidant. However, she could not be as free as before she was fifteen. She was leaning on her old friend, and everything had changed.
"Jue, I have something to ask of you today.”Wen Nuan didn't know what to say, but she still had to say that she didn't dare to look Xiao Jue in the eye. At this moment, she felt very uncomfortable. This was the first time in her life that she had asked someone for help, and it was her ex-lover. Only the authorities could understand the feeling.
The word " beg " seemed to pull the distance between them apart instantly, which made Xiao Jue feel very uncomfortable. How could they be so distant? They used to be so close and inseparable." Nuannuan, what are you talking about? If you have anything to ask, just say it. This makes us seem distant."”
Xiao Juejue was still as generous as ever. As long as she spoke, he would have no regrets even if he had to die. The warmer Xiao Jue was, the more uncomfortable he felt." Jue, I'm actually here to beg you on behalf of Ning Yuan. Helping him is the same as helping me. This is the first time I'm begging you, so please don't reject me, okay?"”For some reason, tears appeared in her warm eyes.
"Nuannuan, as long as you ask, I will agree to anything. Just say it quickly. You know that I have always hated it when people swallow and spit.”Xiao Jue said firmly. Although he didn't know what Wen Nuan wanted to say, he was so stern to make her feel at ease.
Wen Nuan hesitated for a long time before she said," I think you know about the fire at Red Mango. Ning Yuan was the head of the tender team for the karaoke hall project, and the bidder happened to be Ning Yuan's classmate. After the accident, the province sent a leader called Ma Hongsheng to investigate." Wen Nuan then told Xiao Jue everything in detail.
Xiao Jue listened carefully to Wen Nuan's explanation of the matter. His face darkened a little, but it immediately returned to normal. "Nuannuan, if Ye Ningyuan didn't profit from the bidding and was open and aboveboard, you wouldn't be afraid of investigation. Nuannuan, you're a smart person. Although Ye Ningyuan is your husband, there are many times when you can't indulge him. You can't let him do things that betray the party and the people.”
Xiao Jue's words made Wen Nuan feel disappointed." Aren't you willing to help Ning Yuan? Jue, I think you know more about the politics than I do. Even if the investigation has nothing to do with Ning Yuan, it will still affect him. Bureau Chief Liu will retire next autumn, and Ning Yuan will be able to take over. However, once this matter is out, I'm afraid that Ning Yuan's competitors will interfere. As Ning Yuan's wife, I know how hard he has worked all these years. Jue, I beg you to help Ning Yuan, okay? Just take it as helping me? I remember you once said that as long as I ask for it, you'll do anything for me?”In order to make Xiao Jue help Wen Nuan, she didn't hesitate to use their past feelings as a bargaining chip. She used emotions to persuade him and reason with him. She knew that Xiao Jue still had feelings for her. For Ye Ningyuan, he didn't hesitate to use this.
Xiao Jue looked up and saw Wen Nuan's eyes filled with tears. In an instant, two lines of tears fell slowly like broken beads, sparkling under the light. Her pitiful appearance instantly broke down all his defenses." Nuan Nuan, I didn't say that I wouldn't help you. I just hope that Ye Ningyuan will be honest in this matter. Seeing that you still like to use tears to scare people at your age, I'm willing to surrender. To be honest, Ma Hongsheng is my comrade's cousin. I'll call my comrade later."”Xiao Jue took a tissue and personally wiped away Wen Nuan's tears, looking at her dotingly. As a military officer, Xiao Jue had the integrity and principles of a soldier. If what he asked for was not warmth, he would never easily agree. However, warmth was always his weakness. For warmth, he did not hesitate to violate his principles. It was Xiao Jue's lifelong regret that he was not fated to be with warmth. If he was not a soldier and had no education, then he would definitely snatch warmth from Ye Ningyuan at all costs, but he could not. He did not want to stand in the court of morality for his own selfish reasons.
Instantly, Wen Nuan's tears turned into a smile." Jue, thank you. I knew you were the best brother to me.”In front of Xiao Jue, Wen Nuan could still act coquettishly, shamelessly, and pretend to be innocent like when she was young, and she was happy that Xiao Jue agreed to help.
"You are already the mother of a child, yet you are still acting like your brother's child. However, Nuannuan, I must remind you that you must not allow Ye Ningyuan to break the law and discipline. Be his deputy bureau chief and always maintain a normal heart.”Xiao Jue couldn't stop himself from reaching out to embrace the warmth. There were only the two of them here. Xiao Jue could temporarily forget his identity, throw away the shackles of Dao, and be unscrupulous for once. As someone else's wife, Wen Nuan wanted to struggle, but in order to win over Xiao Jue and get him to help Ye Ningyuan, she had no choice but to comply. However, Xiao Jue's embrace was still gentle and comfortable. This scene had appeared many times in her dreams, but it was real in reality. Wen Nuan's heart turned a thousand times.
Facing Xiao Jue's lecture, Wen Nuan pouted and said coquettishly," Alright, alright, he knows. Stop studying. Besides, Ning Yuan has received higher education and was born into an intellectual family. I think he understands this more than me. I'm assured about his character and official status."
Hearing Wen Nuan praise another man in his arms, Xiao Jue felt very uncomfortable." Many corrupt officials graduated from famous schools and have good backgrounds.”
"Do you really want something to happen to Ning Yuan? Do you want me to be unlucky?" Wen Nuan said aggrievedly.
Xiao Jue lowered his head and kissed Wen Nuan's forehead. He didn't mean what he said. Of course, he hoped that Ye Ningyuan would have a good career.
