Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 913 Let’s Meet 3

Since the start of the new year, she had become increasingly indifferent to Wu Hao each time she had bumped into him. Today when she saw him, she discovered that she was actually able to watch him chat with Jiang Qianqian with a calm heart. She even smiled when Jiang Qianqian fed him a plum.

But it’s a lie if I said that I felt nothing at all. Ultimately, Jiang Qianqian was the one who snatched Wu Hao away from me.

Xu Wennuan felt a slight ripple at that instant. She quickly but calmly retracted her gaze and lightly pressed the accelerator to move forward slowly in the line of cars. When she got home, her mother had already prepared dinner. Xu Wennuan washed her hands and sat at the dining table.

It had been two years since her marriage with Wu Hao had ended. Her parents were more anxious than her about her marriage, and it was always the highlight of their conversation whenever she returned home for dinner. That day, Mother Xu seemed to be triggered by something and acted unusually domineering.

“Nuannuan, listen to me. For now, your key mission is to find yourself a husband! I didn’t spend a single cent of the allowance you’ve given to me for the past few months. I saved all of it and signed you up with a matchmaking agency yesterday. When you have some time to spare, you need to go to the matchmaking sessions!”

Initially, when Xu Wennuan would hear her parents urging her about marriage, she had tried to explain the situation in a mature way that would alleviate her worries, but this had never worked, so subsequently she decided to feign ignorance. After speaking about marriage for the entire first half of the meal, Mother Xu finally noticed Xu Wennuan’s complete lack of response. She became angry and thoughtlessly said, “Nuannuan, Wu Hao is already preparing for his marriage. Do you have any prospects?”

“Why are you rubbing it in?!” Father Xu nudged Mother Xu’s elbow hard and glared at her sharply.

Mother Xu gaped as if she wanted to defend herself, but she immediately realized how hurtful her words had been so she went silent. Xu Wennuan, however, seemed completely unaffected. Looking up at her mother, she asked as she drank her soup, “How do you know this?”

When she saw that Xu Wennuan was not visibly upset, Mother Xu then replied and said, “I bumped into Wu Hao’s mother when I was playing mahjong this afternoon. She told me that Wu Hao will be getting married in the spring next year. She even asked me when you are getting married. I was so pissed at that moment.”

“I see…” Xu Wennuan responded and did not speak any further.

Who would have thought that the pair of lovebirds who were so deeply in love in their younger days would actually reach this state now whereby they are getting married to one another?

Life is like a play, and it is truly fleeting…

As this thought crossed her mind, Xu Wennuan smiled, and it was at that moment she realized that she was actually able to view her past with Wu Hao as an outsider.
