Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite
Chapter 199 - 50: Caught in the Act
CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 50: CAUGHT IN THE ACT
Han Fang never thought there would come such a day, with the girl he cherished the most by his side. He was seven years older than Yan Wuxu; as a child, like other boys his age, he had teased her and made her cry loudly.
The year after Yan Wuxu’s father fell ill and passed away, Han Fang never saw her cry again. He grew more sensible day by day, realizing that the teasing from childhood was merely a misplaced way of showing affection.
They had known each other for nearly twenty years; throughout his life, only Yan Wuxu’s presence had lingered in his life. When Yan Wuxu married Su Qingzhang, Han Fang broke down and cried for the first time in his life. After that, he started a relationship with a girl called Xiao Min from "Admiration."
He thought he and Yan Wuxu would just miss each other like this, but then, she asked him to become the driver for the Su Family. Without any hesitation, he left his brothers at the Sixth District Car Shop, just to be able to drive the woman he loved back and forth, even if it meant getting one more look at her.
It was only after Han Fang completed the registration and entered the room with the key that he felt as if he was in a dream.
This was a four-star hotel, everything in the room was arranged comfortably yet luxuriously. Many lovers had spent unforgettable nights here. Yan Wuxu was sitting at the foot of the bed, already changed into a robe.
The pure white robe was slightly open, revealing the beautiful contours of her chest without any obstruction; her feet were bare without slippers, her toenails polished a dripping red, enhancing her delicate feet. Yan Wuxu was no longer the girl who used to cry miserably while barefoot as he teased her.
"I want a child," Yan Wuxu said in the weakest tone, revealing this harsh reality. She had realized this thought since she got the medical report that morning.
In the recent conversation between Su Ziceng and Qiu Zhi, she heard it clearly. Su Qingzhang’s feelings for her could not compare to those for Chang Mei. After Su Qingzhang passes away, she would be an old woman with a faded appearance. Without a child and the Su Family’s wealth, how would she survive the next few decades.
Greed and jealousy became a saw, constantly gnawing at Yan Wuxu’s heart. She took off her robe; she was young and beautiful, but her modesty and pride had been brutally destroyed by Fei Qing and Su Qingzhang, and her dignity was also on the verge of collapse.
Only in front of Han Fang could she turn back into the Yan Wuxu of those days. She stepped on her robe, raised her arms, wrapped them around Han Fang’s waist, her fingers undoing his belt, guiding his head towards her chest...
That evening, when Han Fang and Yan Wuxu went to pick up Su Ziceng, everything seemed as usual as before. Su Ziceng sat next to Yan Wuxu, his eyes slightly red and swollen.
"Just now, I went to the beach with Brother Han, got sand in my eyes," Yan Wuxu said inadvertently. It must be Mrs. Yan, Su Ziceng thought. If the beach is really going to be developed into a resort, many past traces will be washed away, and heartache is inevitably brought up again.
Han Fang sat upright in the driver’s seat; he and Yan Wuxu did not look back at Su Ziceng, their eyes, in the gradually setting twilight, were like two meteors silently sliding across the sky.
When they arrived at the Su family’s gate, Su Ziceng saw a familiar car silhouette. Chang Chi cheerfully jumped out of Hang Yishao’s car.
The yellow Ferrari brushed past the side of the car, the reflection of the setting sun making it seem as if the people in the car could not see each other clearly. Chang Chi kept watching the car drive away until he walked inside, his face filled with intoxication.
"Why does your face look a bit off?" Su Qingzhang, who had not gone out tonight, asked when he noticed Yan Wuxu’s pale complexion, "Should we see a doctor?"
"No need," Yan Wuxu hurriedly responded. Faced with Su Qingzhang’s rare consideration, she found it very insincere. Her gaze turned to the window, Han Fang parked the car in the garage, the tail lights went out, leaving only a void in her heart.
Following Yan Wuxu’s gaze, Chang Mei looked outside and coldly snorted. Su Qingzhang is really senile, wearing a green hat without even knowing it.
That night, sensing Yan Wuxu’s stiff reaction, Su Qingzhang was quite dissatisfied, but thinking of her recent unexplained weight loss, he held back the curse that was on the tip of his tongue. Regarding his young wife, he felt a contradictory mixture of tenderness and disdain: on one hand, he was upsetecause Yan Wuxu was with him for the money, on the other, he was captivated by her eyes, which resembled Ye Tina’s.
