"Aiya, never mind, I'm just waiting here." Lan Baobao felt a deep sense of frustration.
"And then?" Li Xiaoran was unaware of Lan Baobao's situation and only knew that Lan Baobao had always been at a disadvantage.
"What else can I do? All I can do now is wait at the coffee shop across from Ye Zixun's company. Xiaoran, I really feel like I'm being overly sentimental." Lan Baobao suddenly felt that her life was a bit miserable; her heart ached. She had never been hurt so deeply by someone, only to reconcile and then get hurt again. Was she really being foolish?
"Aiya, Lan Baobao, don't think too much!" Li Xiaoran was genuinely worried about Lan Baobao, but unfortunately, she had to work. Otherwise, she would definitely go help Lan Baobao. But even if she showed up, what difference would it make? Her presence might just add pressure to Lan Baobao. What could she really do to help their relationship?
"Alright, actually Ye Zixun's phone might be dead, and the receptionist at Ye Zixun's company has changed and doesn't recognize me, so they didn't let me in. Otherwise, I would have gone to his office to wait for him." Lan Baobao was still considering other possibilities.
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's fine; since you're already there, just wait a little longer. You know Ye Zixun gets really busy; after all, he's a CEO," Li Xiaoran encouraged her friend. She hoped that Lan Baobao could succeed and find her footing in her marriage.
When marrying into a wealthy family, one must consider whether they truly deserve to be with such a wealthy heir.
"I will face this strongly; you don't need to worry too much," Lan Baobao said. Even though she lacked confidence in herself, she still had to persevere. No matter what, today she was determined to see Ye Zixun and clarify everything; otherwise, she would not give up.
"That's good." Li Xiaoran still felt somewhat uneasy.
"Let me check; I think I see Ye Zixun." Then Lan Baobao hung up the phone.
Indeed, Ye Zixun had come out. Lan Baobao spotted him and quickly walked over.
"Ye Zixun!" Lan Baobao shouted loudly in his direction. Even though she felt that this behavior wasn't great, for the sake of her freedom, she decided to make an effort.
However, with cars coming and going, it seemed that Ye Zixun didn't hear Lan Baobao's calls from across the street.
"Who is it?" Ye Zixun didn't respond; perhaps he really didn't hear her. Instead, a woman beside him spoke first.
Lan Baobao finally saw clearly—there was indeed a very sexy woman next to Ye Zixun wearing a super short skirt. Lan Baobao thought that she could even see the woman's underwear. She didn't know what the relationship between this woman and Ye Zixun was, but she saw Ye Zixun with his arm around the woman and felt momentarily lost about what to do.
Was it necessary for her to witness such a cruel scene?
"No one, I don't know anyone." Ye Zixun glanced at her, not recognizing Lan Baobao, who was dressed so differently. Ye Zixun's words were still as few as before, but just those few words completely wounded Lan Baobao's heart. She felt an intense chill, even though it was hot outside and it was midday; she still felt cold.
Perhaps this is what it feels like to have a cold heart. Even though Ye Zixun was a bit far from her, she could tell from his lips. Lan Baobao couldn't believe her ears; even though she heard the voice, it was still shocking to realize that the person she once liked and wanted to be with for a lifetime no longer recognized her.
Now, Lan Baobao could finally face her feelings properly, but was her love just a joke? She didn't know whether to laugh at herself for being so foolish or for waiting for someone like him.
That woman leaned closer to Ye Zixun, and there was no distance between them. Wasn't this scene too cruel?
Lan Baobao had pride too; this was the first time she felt this way. She felt ugly, treated like this by Ye Zixun in public. Even if no one else saw, she already felt utterly ashamed.
It felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
Yes, Lan Baobao still didn't know whether she liked Ye Zixun more or if he liked her more. Perhaps, to put it another way, Ye Zixun never really liked her at all.
"Alright, let's go!" Ye Zixun said without acknowledging her, as if he truly didn't recognize Lan Baobao. Perhaps he didn't even see where she was standing.
Lan Baobao stood there, unsure of what to do. She knew that Ye Zixun and that woman had walked far away, yet she remained rooted in place, not moving. She didn't even know where she should go; it felt as if her world had collapsed around her.
She had to remember that she was the mother of Ye Zixun's two children. Now he was so openly treating her this way. Lan Baobao felt a deep pain in her heart.
At least she wasn't humiliated face-to-face; if that were the case, she would rather find a pillar to lean against and end it all.
Watching Ye Zixun and that woman grow closer as they walked further away made her heart ache even more.
Ye Zixun, could you really be this fickle? It’s hard to understand; just a while ago, you loved me so much and were always by my side. How did it come to this?
Lan Baobao felt as though her world had lost its light.
"Sister, are you alright?" The owner of the coffee shop noticed Lan Baobao standing there and couldn't help but express concern. Lan Baobao looked like a lost child without direction. She didn’t know if she should return to that big house that couldn’t even be called home because no one had ever treated her this cruelly before.
Ye Zixun, if it weren't for our children and Grandpa Ye's opposition, would you have kicked me out long ago? Did you never love me at all? Have you always been just stringing me along?
A passerby walked past Lan Baobao, who was still looking in the direction where Ye Zixun and that woman had left. Why would Ye Zixun treat her like this? Was her love just gone like that? Was her marriage also coming to an end? In this way, she thought she had regained all her freedom.
Lan Baobao was lost in thought and didn't notice anyone around her. When she finally realized how people were looking at her, her face turned red. She felt she had lost too much face for such a love. She didn't even know if there was anything left between her and Ye Zixun. However, she clearly understood that she would no longer have feelings for Ye Zixun; her love had vanished, and her marriage was also about to disappear.
Another woman appeared beside Ye Zixun. What did that make her? This matter absolutely could not just pass by like this. Last time, Yan Momo had only called her, but now Ye Zixun was actually standing in front of her with another woman. It was a living irony, truly bitter; perhaps she really didn't have the qualifications to stand beside Ye Zixun.
Ye Zixun was so outstanding and wealthy. Perhaps she really was Cinderella, and Cinderella could never become a princess because the living environments of Cinderella and the prince were always different, making it impossible for them to come together or truly integrate into each other's worlds.
Therefore, those who hoped to marry into a wealthy family should work hard on their own cultivation before wanting to marry a rich young master. They should consider whether they truly had the power to marry into that world and whether they could really control that young master; otherwise, marriage would just be a fleeting dream that would eventually dissipate.
Lan Baobao wandered aimlessly down the street, not knowing where to go. Once home, she didn't know what to do either. And she also didn't know how to face Li Xiaoran. She only felt that today's events were very embarrassing. To see Ye Zixun, she had dressed up carefully and waited at his company; she had done so much for him.
Lan Baobao truly felt that even after putting so much effort into her feelings, what did she get in return? In the end, she gained nothing. As she walked, she arrived at the entrance of a bar. She thought about indulging herself just this once and walked inside the bar. It was just drinking away her sorrows; she could do that too. Last time, because of Yan Momo's incident, when she was in a neighboring province, she wanted to drink until oblivion; but then Ye Zixun showed up. Would he come back today as well?
Thinking of this made Lan Baobao feel a bit lost; it seemed like she was too lonely and miserable. It felt as if this world was filled with cruelty—a harsh reality.
"Hello, what would you like to order?" The bartender looked at the beautiful woman with a smile. Even though it was still afternoon, there were still many people in the bar.
"Vodka will do." Lan Baobao wasn't in the mood for small talk. Vodka was strong liquor; this girl didn't often drink alcohol. Could she really handle it? Even though Lan Baobao now lived among wealthy people, she had never come to such a place before. But right now, her mood was terrible; all she wanted was to drink and forget about someone named Ye Zixun.
