BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297 - 297 How Much Longer Do I Have to Wait?
Wen Xu calmly put one hand on the door. “If I let you close this door today, then my first name is not Wen anymore.”
Yun Li used all her strength, but the door didn’t move.
She simply gave up and walked away with a straight face.
!!
Wen Xu followed her in and brought in the water and biscuits.
“Are you still angry?”
Wen Xu glanced at Yun Li. “It’s not a big deal. How long have you been angry? It’s been a while, but you still haven’t calmed down?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said this, but once he did, Yun Li’s anger immediately rose.
“How big of a deal, you ask? It’s fine if you don’t want to tell others that I’m your girlfriend, but I came all the way there to see you. We were on a date, so why did you bring that girl along?”
“You mean Xiao Yan? At that time, she had just recovered from her illness and her brother had to go to the capital to attend an important meeting, so he called and asked me to accompany her for a day.”
Wen Xu walked to Yun Li’s side. “You know her brother, Rong Ce, right? Didn’t you interview him before? He used to be my superior, so I can’t just reject him, can I?”
When Wen Xu used to work at Youying Video Group, Rong Yan often went to Rong Ce’s office, and they became familiar with each other.
Her second brother, Rong Yi, had applied to study abroad at the beginning of this year, so there was no one else in her family. When Rong Ce had to go on business trips sometimes, he would ask Wen Xu to help take care of his sister. This was very normal in Wen Xu’s eyes.
“Okay, even if you can’t reject Rong Ce, what about her?”
Seeing Wen Xu’s indifference, Yun Li was even angrier. “She held your arm all the way, calling you Brother Wen Xu, asking you to accompany her to buy this and play that. You couldn’t refuse that?”
“So you’re jealous. I was wondering why you didn’t pick up my call for so long.”
Wen Xu touched his chin and laughed. “Xiao Yan is still in school. She’s just a child. Why are you so calculative with her?”
“Child? She said it herself, she’s already nineteen!”
Yun Li recalled the scene that day and felt a lump in her throat. “Wen Xu, are you really stupid or are you just pretending? She just likes you and is acting like a spoiled child. Can’t you tell?”
Wen Xu really couldn’t tell. “She and her brother always act coquettishly like that too. I don’t think there’s anything different about it.”
“Of course you don’t think so, because you don’t even care about me. If you really cared about me, why would you pamper her and accommodate her in front of me?”
The more Yun Li spoke, the more aggrieved and angry she became. She sneered, “I was too naive. You don’t even want to disclose our relationship, so why would you care about my feelings?”
“I don’t want to make it public because it’s not the time yet. I’ve already told you the reason.”
Wen Xu patiently explained, “As for Xiao Yan, she’s just a little sister in my eyes. It’s impossible for me to have any thoughts about her. That day, before I brought her here, I asked for your opinion. You were the one who said that you would be fine with it.”
“I’m not blaming you for bringing her here. I’m blaming you for not knowing how to reject her!”
Yun Li felt that she couldn’t communicate with Wen Xu, so she raised her voice. “Don’t find excuses to say you can’t reject her. If you had been with Qianqian that day, would you have accommodated Rong Yan like that?”
Wen Xu frowned. “Why are you bringing my sister into this?”
His tone and attitude made Yun Li even angrier. “Why? I can’t mention Qianqian? I don’t even deserve to be compared to Qianqian, right?”
Wen Xu looked at her indifferently without saying a word.
His expression and tone were obviously saying, “Of course you’re not worthy to be compared to my sister.”
Yun Li was about to go crazy with anger.
If this was any other time, she might have felt that her actions were extremely childish. She clearly knew what kind of relationship Sang Qianqian and Wen Xu had, yet she still wanted to be jealous, and in such a ridiculous way at that.
However, at this moment, she was so angry that her rationality was about to be burned out.
“Qianqian is your sister. You’ll listen to whatever Qianqian says to you and you’ll never reject anything she wants you to do. Rong Yan is your younger sister. Whatever she wants you to do, you won’t refuse. It’s fine if I can’t compare to Qianqian’s position in your heart, but I can’t even compare to that Rong Yan?”
Yun Li’s eyes were red with anger. “So, Wen Xu, what am I to you?”
Yun Li’s personality was different from Sang Qianqian’s. Sang Qianqian was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, while Yun Li was much more unyielding and refused to admit defeat. At least, that was what Wen Xu felt.
They had been together for almost a year, but this was the first time Wen Xu had seen Yun Li cry.
His heart softened unconsciously, and his voice softened a little. “In my heart, of course you’re my girlfriend.”
Wen Xu pulled Yun Li to sit down and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. He then took out two boxes from his pocket. “I saw the video you posted on your moments. You said that the necklace was beautiful, so I bought you an identical one. I also bought you a pair of earrings. Can you see if you like them?”
Yun Li was stunned. Why didn’t she remember posting anything about a necklace?
When he opened the box, she was speechless.
The video she posted was an interview with a well-known female artist. At that time, the artist was wearing a very eye-catching gem necklace that was worth a lot.
The original words she had posted on her moments were, “The necklace is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful.” It was originally just a polite compliment.
Wen Xu actually took it seriously.
She really didn’t know if he was thinking straight or not.
Yun Li stuffed the gift back into Wen Xu’s hands, and the anger in her heart somehow dissipated a little.
It wasn’t because of the gift, but because he still cared about her. At least he paid attention to her, although he paid attention to the wrong thing.
“You’re always like this. Every time I talk about serious business, you’ll just give me a gift.”
Yun Li’s anger subsided a little, but she still couldn’t help but complain. “You say I’m your girlfriend, but look, whose girlfriend could be as aggrieved as I am? In the past, when I was single, I was carefree and didn’t have any worries. I was as free as I wanted to be. But ever since I got together with you, I’ve been worrying about personal gains and losses, thinking about this and that. Sometimes, when I think about it, I really feel like I’m possessed. I don’t know what I’m trying to achieve.”
She sighed. “We’ve been dating for a year. Even now, Qianqian doesn’t know about our relationship. Do you think that’s appropriate?”
“Why do you have to let my sister know about us?”
Wen Xu didn’t think much of it. “When the time comes, I’ll naturally tell her.”
When Yun Li heard this, her anger flared up again. “Then may I ask when the time you said is here? When exactly is that? How much longer do I have to wait?”
Wen Xu put the jewelry box on the coffee table and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. It won’t be too long.”
...
“That’s what you said in the video call last time.”
Yun Li’s heart ached as she laughed at herself. “Wen Xu, do you know what Qianqian said? Qianqian said that if you’re not willing to make our relationship public, it means that you don’t want to be with me. She wants me to break up with you as soon as possible because this relationship will never end.”
Wen Xu’s face darkened. “You told my sister about us?”
