297 How Much Longer Do I Have to Wait?
Yun Li ignored him and desperately slammed the door.
Wen Xu calmly put one hand on the door. âIf I let you close this door today, then my first name is not Wen anymore.â
Yun Li used all her strength, but the door didnât move.
She simply gave up and walked away with a straight face.
!!
Wen Xu followed her in and brought in the water and biscuits.
âAre you still angry?â
Wen Xu glanced at Yun Li. âItâs not a big deal. How long have you been angry? Itâs been a while, but you still havenât calmed down?â
It would have been better if he hadnât said this, but once he did, Yun Liâs anger immediately rose.
âHow big of a deal, you ask? Itâs fine if you donât want to tell others that Iâm 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?â
âYou 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.â
Wen Xu walked to Yun Liâs side. âYou know her brother, Rong Ce, right? Didnât you interview him before? He used to be my superior, so I canât just reject him, can I?â
When Wen Xu used to work at Youying Video Group, Rong Yan often went to Rong Ceâs 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 Xuâs eyes.
âOkay, even if you canât reject Rong Ce, what about her?â
Seeing Wen Xuâs indifference, Yun Li was even angrier. âShe held your arm all the way, calling you Brother Wen Xu, asking you to accompany her to buy this and play that. You couldnât refuse that?â
âSo youâre jealous. I was wondering why you didnât pick up my call for so long.â
Wen Xu touched his chin and laughed. âXiao Yan is still in school. Sheâs just a child. Why are you so calculative with her?â
âChild? She said it herself, sheâs already nineteen!â
Yun Li recalled the scene that day and felt a lump in her throat. âWen Xu, are you really stupid or are you just pretending? She just likes you and is acting like a spoiled child. Canât you tell?â
Wen Xu really couldnât tell. âShe and her brother always act coquettishly like that too. I donât think thereâs anything different about it.â
âOf course you donât think so, because you donât even care about me. If you really cared about me, why would you pamper her and accommodate her in front of me?â
The more Yun Li spoke, the more aggrieved and angry she became. She sneered, âI was too naive. You donât even want to disclose our relationship, so why would you care about my feelings?â
âI donât want to make it public because itâs not the time yet. Iâve already told you the reason.â
Wen Xu patiently explained, âAs for Xiao Yan, sheâs just a little sister in my eyes. Itâs 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.â
âIâm not blaming you for bringing her here. Iâm blaming you for not knowing how to reject her!â
Yun Li felt that she couldnât communicate with Wen Xu, so she raised her voice. âDonât find excuses to say you canât reject her. If you had been with Qianqian that day, would you have accommodated Rong Yan like that?â
Wen Xu frowned. âWhy are you bringing my sister into this?â
His tone and attitude made Yun Li even angrier. âWhy? I canât mention Qianqian? I donât even deserve to be compared to Qianqian, right?â
Wen Xu looked at her indifferently without saying a word.
His expression and tone were obviously saying, âOf course youâre not worthy to be compared to my sister.â
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.
âQianqian is your sister. Youâll listen to whatever Qianqian says to you and youâll never reject anything she wants you to do. Rong Yan is your younger sister. Whatever she wants you to do, you wonât refuse. Itâs fine if I canât compare to Qianqianâs position in your heart, but I canât even compare to that Rong Yan?â
Yun Liâs eyes were red with anger. âSo, Wen Xu, what am I to you?â
Yun Liâs personality was different from Sang Qianqianâs. 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. âIn my heart, of course youâre my girlfriend.â
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. âI 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?â
Yun Li was stunned. Why didnât 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, âThe necklace is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful.â It was originally just a polite compliment.
Wen Xu actually took it seriously.
She really didnât know if he was thinking straight or not.
Yun Li stuffed the gift back into Wen Xuâs hands, and the anger in her heart somehow dissipated a little.
It wasnât 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.
âYouâre always like this. Every time I talk about serious business, youâll just give me a gift.â
Yun Liâs anger subsided a little, but she still couldnât help but complain. âYou say Iâm your girlfriend, but look, whose girlfriend could be as aggrieved as I am? In the past, when I was single, I was carefree and didnât have any worries. I was as free as I wanted to be. But ever since I got together with you, Iâve been worrying about personal gains and losses, thinking about this and that. Sometimes, when I think about it, I really feel like Iâm possessed. I donât know what Iâm trying to achieve.â
She sighed. âWeâve been dating for a year. Even now, Qianqian doesnât know about our relationship. Do you think thatâs appropriate?â
âWhy do you have to let my sister know about us?â
Wen Xu didnât think much of it. âWhen the time comes, Iâll naturally tell her.â
When Yun Li heard this, her anger flared up again. âThen may I ask when the time you said is here? When exactly is that? How much longer do I have to wait?â
Wen Xu put the jewelry box on the coffee table and said, âLetâs wait a little longer. It wonât be too long.â
...
âThatâs what you said in the video call last time.â
Yun Liâs heart ached as she laughed at herself. âWen Xu, do you know what Qianqian said? Qianqian said that if youâre not willing to make our relationship public, it means that you donât want to be with me. She wants me to break up with you as soon as possible because this relationship will never end.â
Wen Xuâs face darkened. âYou told my sister about us?â
