Crossing the line

Chapter 115 Pretend You Haven't Heard
After a long while, Yun Yuwan finally gasped softly:
"I finally understand why everyone says French men are different."

He was obviously happy, and looked at her with his lips curved: "Do you like it?"

Yun Yuwan didn't answer him, but asked: "You are so good, is your first kiss me?"

Unexpectedly, he looked at her with a faint smile and shook his head.

Yun Yuwan actually guessed it, how could it be her: "Then who did you give your first kiss to?"

He approached her mysteriously: "My otter."

Yun Yuwan was puzzled: "What otter?"

Why is there someone called this name?

He looked at her closely, smiling and slightly tipsy, like peach blossom eyes:
"It's an otter, an otter like a big rat."

Yun Yuwan finally understood that it was an animal and not a person: "You raised it?"

His eyes were full of tears, and his temper was very good and gentle: "Yes."

Yun Yuwan didn't even know that he had a pet. He was tall and strong, and looked stern. The thought of him holding a small animal made her feel that the picture was cute.

Wen Yangzhi was obviously drunk, and he was laughing with his eyes full of spring. There was a pool of clear water under his pupils, but he seemed inexplicably innocent. He would pause and chuckle when he spoke:
"Every day, I go home and kiss it."

"Also French?" Yun Yuwan looked into his eyes.

He was good-tempered and obedient: "No, just kiss."

Wen Yangzhi held her waist, leaned forward and touched her cheek: "Like this."

Yun Yuwan was curious: "Do you have any photos? Let me see them?"

Wen Yangzhi tried to take out his cell phone from his pocket, but couldn't. Yun Yuwan looked up and saw that his cell phone was on the table.

……

She picked up his phone, pointed it at his face, unlocked it, and stuffed it directly into his hand: "Here you go."

Wen Yangzhi felt dizzy, as if he had laughed himself into submission. He leaned his head against the chair in embarrassment, tilted his face slightly and chuckled, his Adam's apple moving slowly and obediently.

Yun Yuwan looked at him and smiled, inexplicably finding him adorable: "Wen Yangzhi, can you show it to me now?"

He lowered his head and looked through the photo album on his phone, but couldn't find it. Yun Yuwan saw it all. She grabbed his wrist, but couldn't wrap her arms around him completely.

Fortunately, he stopped.

She found a video and clicked on it. An otter was crawling on the carpet. Yun Yuwan thought it looked like a big squirrel.

It is round and chubby, with small but round ears, and its coquettish cry sounds like a children's bathing duck toy, whimpering and chirping.

Wearing a knitted rainbow sweater, his long, fat tail swung back and forth with his movements.

She shifted her gaze to Wen Yangzhi's face and found that he was smiling at the little otter on the screen, as if he was very happy.

But why have we never heard that he kept an otter?
He swiped his finger, and in the next photo the otter was coiled on his head, like a furry otter hat.

He should have just finished taking a shower. He was wearing a white T-shirt and looked very youthful. He was like the top student in his grade who had excellent grades, was calm and steady, well-behaved in the eyes of his parents, and reliable in the eyes of his peers.

He looks sixteen or seventeen years old.

He has thin lips, fair skin, neatly trimmed hair, and a handsome appearance.

It turns out that Wen Yangzhi was like this before.

When she was a child, she had a crush on boys like this, and it turned out that Wen Yangzhi was also this kind of boy.

Her taste is really consistent.

It turns out that this kind of boy grew up to be Wen Yangzhi.

She thought that since he was so manly, he must have been the kind of cold-blooded person who was not easy to mess with when he was young.

She was still admiring him when Wen Yangzhi suddenly looked at her expectantly: "Am I cute?"

Yun Yuwan raised her head, looked at his mature face, and waited expectantly for her answer.

She couldn't help laughing out loud: "Cute, so cute."

He naturally came closer: "I'm cute, so can you praise me?"

Yun Yuwan looked into his eyes seriously: "Brother is very smart, has a good temper, likes to be clean, and smells good."

He smiled with satisfaction, held her waist with his big hands, and rested his head on her shoulder.

Yun Yuwan was curious: "Why have I never seen this otter before?"

He lowered his head, like a precocious little boy, not deliberately showing sadness but still feeling lost: "Wen Wei killed it."

Yun Yuwan thought he was wrong: "What did you say?" As if he had accepted this reality, Wen Yangzhi whispered: "Wen Wei threw it to death, and Zhao Qin was watching."

Yun Yuwan was so shocked that she was a little slow: "...Why?"

"Because it was given to me by Lin Zhidong, and he hates Lin Zhidong." He said softly.

Yun Yuwan was surprised: "But don't you have a bad relationship with Director Lin? Why would he give you an animal?"

He shook his head: "Before, it was the best. Uncle Lin taught me to paint and took me out to play."

Yun Yuwan was surprised: "How did it come to this point today..."

"Wen Wei said that Lin Zhidong wanted to destroy me, so he taught me to paint, encouraged me to learn art, and gave me this and that. Lin Zhidong came after him. I am his son, so why should I betray him?"

Wen Yangzhi spoke in a very gentle manner, as if he was trying to recall the past while drunk.
"I used to have a very good friend, Mr. Lin's son, but he stayed with me only to guide me to make the wrong decision and support Mr. Lin's decision at the board meeting. When I came back, Wen Wei was furious and said I was useless and had a bad attitude. Then he threw my otter to death in front of me."

As the clouds are about to set, my back feels cold.

I couldn't believe that my parents threw my beloved pet to death in front of me.

And the best friend betrays himself.

There was some sadness in Wen Yangzhi's eyes, like the despair of an autumn leaf that cannot return to the branch and can only rot in the mud. His eyes were hazy in the night: "Yuwan, am I useless?"

"You didn't, you did very well. They are the ones who wanted to harm you. The more resources you control, the less trustworthy the people around you are." Yun Yuwan felt sad for no reason.

Wen Yangzhi said in a low voice: "Uncle Lin is just like what Wen Wei said. He is really plotting against me. Everyone who approaches me is trying to use me or for their own benefit."

He smiled helplessly: "Are you?"

Yun Yuwan immediately held his face, her hands could only support the lower half of his face: "I'm not, I really love you."

He seemed to be drunk or sober, and just looked at her deeply: "Even if I have no money?"

She said firmly: "I like you because you stood by me unconditionally to protect me before, and I will stand by you unconditionally too."

"I believe it." He smiled bitterly, "But when you think I'm no longer fresh, you will throw me away. The world outside is so exciting, and there are so many other men who like you. You won't stay with me."

Yun Yuwan said firmly: "I won't."

He just whispered: "But there are almost no people around me who have not betrayed me."

Yun Yuwan suddenly thought: "What about Jiang Jianqing, has he betrayed you?"

He tried to recall: "He started playing with me because his mother wanted him to get close to me. His family wanted the lawsuit form from Wen's Bank to clear the bad debts at the end of each year."

Yun Yuwan's voice became a little cautious: "Did you give it to him?"

“He didn’t want it anymore.”

Yun Yuwan wanted to rekindle his confidence: "He was sincere to you in the end."

"But it was bad from the beginning. They approached me because they wanted benefits."

Yun Yuwan held his face with both hands: "No, I am not here for profit, and I don't like you for profit."

Wen Yangzhi lowered his head, and Yun Yuwan saw that his eyes were red. She didn't know whether he believed her or was sad at the thought of her leaving.

She was still feeling sorry for him, but she heard him suddenly say, "Actually, it's better for you to choose me than anyone else."

Yun Yuwan was confused: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Wen Yangzhi raised his head and looked at her.

The next day, Yun Yuwan got up and saw the cloakroom door was open and Wen Yangzhi was tying his tie.

She ran over: “Do you know what you said last night?

"What?" Wen Yangzhi didn't even look at her.

Yun Yuwan put her hands behind her back and said proudly: "You said a lot of bad things about men."

Wen Yangzhi stopped tying his tie and said calmly: "You heard wrong."

"I didn't. You said that Mr. Ding spoke to me in a hoarse voice, saying that Jiang Yingyu took me out to play in the middle of the night even though he knew I had a boyfriend."

Yun Yuwan argued confidently: "They said Yang Ni was arrogant and presumptuous, and that son of Chen's real estate kept telling me that he had studied abroad, too, and he just wanted to strike up a conversation with me. What is there to talk about when one of us is in Europe and the other is in Australia?"

Wen Yangzhi interrupted her: "What did I say?

"Yeah." She was absolutely sure.

Yun Yuwan thought he was going to deny it outright, but she said, "Just pretend I didn't hear it."

She laughed: "Brother, you are drunk and good tea. At the beginning, you said you were miserable. I just felt sorry for you, but you started to say bad things about other men, saying that you were bullied and asked me to pity you."
