Wu Chenjin had not seen Song Nuanyi for a few days. He was worried that something might happen to her.
The previous assassination in his office had always been a thorn in his heart. No matter how busy he was, he would find a way to call Song Nuanyi.
When Song Nuanyi received Wu Chenjin’s call, she was waiting for someone at the coffee shop.
“Hello, Nuanyi, are you free tonight? I want to go to that celebrity restaurant with you.”
Song Nuanyi glanced at her watch. The person she had been waiting for was about to arrive. She replied gently, “Sure, anything you want to eat is fine.”
The person at the door had been watching her all this time. When she hung up the phone, he slowly approached her.
Cao Yuhan was wearing an old windbreaker. His eyes were tired, his face was sallow, and his beard was unkempt. When he saw Song Nuanyi’s elegant and relaxed appearance, as well as her high-end and luxurious clothes, he gave a bitter smile and sat down.
Song Nuanyi asked someone to get a cappuccino for him.
This was her favorite coffee. However, when she was with Cao Yuhan, he had never ordered it for her. This was because Cao Yuhan did not care what she liked to drink. He would only order according to his own preferences. He ordered two cups of ice Americano.
Looking at the two cups of coffee on the table, Cao Yuhan habitually said when the waiter came over, “Ice Americano.”
Song Nuanyi smiled lightly and said calmly, “No ice Americano, just cappuccino.”
Cao Yuhan looked at her blankly and then came to a realization.
He looked at the coffee on the table bitterly and said coldly, “So you like cappuccino. I thought you liked Ice Americano.”
Song Nuanyi uncrossed her arms and reached out to gently stir the cloud pattern on the cappuccino with a spoon. She stared at the swirl that was stirred and said, “You are the one who likes ice Americano, not me.”
Cao Yuhan picked up the cup and took a sip. His eyes were blank and straight as he sighed, “Yes, it’s me, not you.”
He took a deep breath and sighed. “It’s my fault. I never really understood what you like.”
After a moment of silence, he looked up and was so excited that he wanted to grab Song Nuanyi’s hand.
He raised his voice and begged Song Nuanyi, “Please forgive me. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. As long as you can forgive me, I’ll do anything.”
Song Nuanyi avoided him in disgust and said coldly, “Forgive? Think about all the things you’ve done. which one of them is worth forgiving?!”
In her previous life, her family was destroyed. Her father was hit by a car and killed. She was imprisoned and eventually burned to death by the fire. She would never forget that piercing pain even after decades. The first moment of her rebirth, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to seek revenge!
Cao Yuhan did not understand. He said angrily, “Why? Why are you doing this to me? Didn’t I just cheat on you with a man? Do you have to kill me?”
He said it so easily that Song Nuanyi wanted to laugh.
Tears flashed in her eyes. Hatred spread from the bottom of her heart to the corners of her eyes. She looked at Cao Yuhan emotionlessly and said, “You know, I was going to kill you.”
Hearing this, Cao Yuhan froze in shock. His eyes widened, and the hand holding the cup stopped in mid-air.
Song Nuanyi continued, “But I remembered a dream I once had. In the dream, I married you. You took everything I worked hard for, killed my father, imprisoned me like an animal in the dark basement, and finally burned me alive in a fire.”
“At that time, in the fire, I thought that if, if I were to be given another chance, I would destroy everything you had, and make you pay a thousand times the price.”
“However, when I saw you appear in my house like a beggar, I suddenly didn’t want to kill you. It was too easy for you to die. I might as well give you a chance, let you have your last pititful value.”
Cao Yuhan looked at her in disbelief, as if he was looking at a madman. He shook his head and muttered, “Crazy, crazy, you’re really crazy!”
He roared, “Just for a dream?! Just a dream, and you can suddenly change your heart and harm me to this extent?!”
He slapped his chest hard, making a ‘dong dong’ sound. His strength was so great that it made people suspect that he was going to beat himself to death.
He shouted unwillingly, “Me! I am the most capable successor of the Cao family. I will definitely make a comeback. I will never let you, this crazy woman, play with me as you please.”
