Sharing Dreams with My Bestie's Cousin

Wen Zhi’s breathing caught, and she clenched her teeth.

"Well, will you consider it?" Li Fuyi’s leisurely voice asked.

Nian Xun didn’t respond but turned to look at Wen Zhi: "This kid says he wants you."

Wen Zhi’s heart tightened, her face showing nervousness, "You’re not going to push me onto him, are you? Nian Xun, I’m begging you to be a human being."

Nian Xun asked with a suppressed smile at the corner of his lips, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Wen Zhi pouted: "How would I know..." Besides, she didn’t know this man was so well-connected.

Her aggrieved appearance didn’t escape Li Fuyi’s gaze, setting his heart ablaze.

He licked his lower lip and signaled to the security officer behind him, "Bring her over to my side, and as for that man, whatever."

As soon as he finished speaking, the security officer moved forward to obey the order.

The nonchalant look faded from Nian Xun’s eyes as he spoke in a deep voice, "Do it."

Two subordinates were ready to take action.

And Nian Xun also tightened his grip on Wen Zhi’s wrist, preparing to take her away. As for the dinner tonight, it wasn’t worth attending anyway.

He hadn’t expected Li Qilin to give him face. That guy Li Qilin, he was very protective of his own.

Just then, someone came rushing over yelling, "Fuyi."

Li Fuyi turned his head to look. When he saw that the person was his father’s secretary, he immediately dropped his gangster-like demeanor and called out, "Secretary Wang."

Secretary Wang approached, whispered something in Li Fuyi’s ear, causing Li Fuyi’s expression to change slightly: "Really?"

Secretary Wang had a serious expression and then shook his head at Li Fuyi, the meaning clear.

Li Fuyi turned to look at Wen Zhi, his determined gaze turning complex. Without much hesitation, he chuckled softly, "You do have some skills."

After speaking, Li Fuyi raised his hand, and the two security officers understood and stepped back.

Li Fuyi pointed at Nian Xun’s face, "I’ll let you go for today. If you fall into my hands again, you’re dead. As for your two subordinates who almost hurt me just now, let each take a beating with a police baton."

Nian Xun’s brows furrowed, as if he had guessed the reason. He turned his head to look at Wen Zhi: "It seems the feelings are still lingering."

Wen Zhi wore a look of complete bewilderment: "Whose feelings are lingering with whom?"

"Miss Wen."

Before Wen Zhi could get a response from Nian Xun, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name.

She turned her head and recognized the person as a subordinate of Shang Hexing: "You’re looking for me?"

Chen Jinhai nodded and then said, "I’m here to deliver a message on behalf of Mr. Shang."

Wen Zhi: "Shang Hexing?"

Chen Jinhai nodded.

Hearing this, Wen Zhi instinctively searched for Shang Hexing’s figure. Unfortunately, after looking around, she did not see him; they had already gone inside.

She felt a bit disappointed and said to Chen Jinhai, "Go on."

Chen Jinhai began, "Mr. Shang won’t leave this banquet. Miss Wen, if you want to see Mr. Shang, you can stay and wait, but if you don’t want to see him..."

At this point, Chen Jinhai’s words paused slightly.

He looked at Wen Zhi and, under her gaze, continued: "If Miss Wen doesn’t want to see Mr. Shang, then I will convey your thanks to Mr. Shang on your behalf."

Before Chen Jinhai finished speaking, Wen Zhi thought if she refused to see Shang Hexing, something bad might happen.

However...

It was just to convey her thanks.

She understood that it was Shang Hexing who had resolved their trouble, and she should thank him.

But Nian Xun beside her urged her, "Wen Zhi, it’s time to go home."

Wen Zhi: "I know, today was a waste of time."

In Nian Xun’s view, today wasn’t a waste. The small incident with Li Fuyi was insignificant. Besides, Shang Hexing was there too, so it didn’t matter whether they stayed or not.

He waited for Wen Zhi to give her thanks.

But he waited in vain for Wen Zhi to speak up.

Chen Jinhai couldn’t figure out Wen Zhi’s thoughts, so he patiently waited, but he felt that it was highly unlikely for Wen Zhi to wait because she would never know that Mr. Shang would never let her wait!

At this moment, Chen Jinhai had already prepared himself for the worst.

But Wen Zhi surprised him.

"I’ll wait for Mr. Shang, after all, it’s more sincere to say thank you in person."

Nian Xun’s face darkened.

Chen Jinhai was secretly pleased, but he pretended to be unperturbed, "I’ll go and let Mr. Shang know."

Wen Zhi nodded, "Mhm."

As soon as Chen Jinhai left, Nian Xun suddenly gripped Wen Zhi’s wrist, "Why do you not want to leave again?"

Wen Zhi winced in pain, frowning and said, "Why are you so fierce again, can you not always be so harsh with me!"

Nian Xun laughed in anger and let go of her hand, "Do you want to see him?"

Wen Zhi couldn’t comprehend Nian Xun’s attitude, "Why can’t I see him?"

Her response implicitly admitted that she did want to see Shang Hexing.

She had questions she wanted to ask him.

Moreover, she felt that interacting more with someone who might recognize her could possibly help to recover her memory.

Nian Xun saw through Wen Zhi’s thoughts but was too lazy to point them out again because he realized he had lost control just now, which was not an emotion he should have.

"Of course you can see him, since you’ve decided to stay, then I’ll leave first." Dropping this remark, Nian Xun left straight away.

Wen Zhi sighed, "It’s always like this, not liking to accompany me but always restricting me, and making cryptic remarks, I can’t understand."

She turned around to find a place to sit and wait.

Such a large banquet like this one should take a long time, right?

She didn’t know how long she needed to wait.

Just as Wen Zhi was turning around with a sullen expression, she noticed a wall of people in front of her, and without even looking up, she smelled the familiar scent of cold fir.

Slowly lifting her head, she suddenly froze, "Shang Hexing?"

The person in front of her was Shang Hexing.

However, at this moment, Shang Hexing looked at Wen Zhi with a scrutinizing gaze.

The atmosphere was too quiet, and Wen Zhi, feeling a bit uneasy, stepped back and nodded respectfully towards him, "Mr. Shang, about the earlier matter, thank you."

Shang Hexing turned, "The earlier matter, what is it?"

Seeing him sit down at the rosewood chair, she walked over, but dared not sit, "I unintentionally offended that Mr. Li, and Nian Xun stood up for me, making the situation even worse. Thanks to Mr. Shang’s help, the issue was resolved."

Shang Hexing crossed his long legs, leaned back, and his originally cold tone became somewhat casual, "Such a big favor, and only a thank you?"

Wen Zhi pursed her lips tighter.

Shang Hexing stretched out his hand and pointed to a spot next to him, his gesture clear.

Wen Zhi hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down next to him. She changed the subject, "Your assistant said earlier that you would only have time to see me after the banquet ends."

Shang Hexing glanced sideways, "So what?"

Wen Zhi’s heartbeat quickened, "We’re quite familiar, aren’t we?"

Shang Hexing remained silent.

Wen Zhi brought it up again, "Not long ago, you clearly said that once it’s recognized as a mistake, there would be no further contact, yet you still helped me earlier, and now we’re in contact again."

Shang Hexing’s eyebrows showed a trace of impatience, "So what exactly are you trying to say?"

Wen Zhi gathered her courage to ask that question, "Were we, perhaps, in a close relationship before?"

Shang Hexing eyed her without a word.

Wen Zhi guessed on her own, tentatively asking, "Mr. Shang, are you my ex-boyfriend, or my... ex-husband?"

Shang Hexing’s narrow eyes slightly narrowed, "Ex-husband?"

Wen Zhi felt her heart skip a beat, it was over, Shang Hexing was actually her ex-husband!
