Chapter 16

Feng Yuting walked up to a white man in his thirties who had just gotten out of the car, and she intimately held his arm. Then, she walked up to Mu Yan and smiled, saying, "Mu Yan, I really didn't expect to see you here!"

Mu Yan watched Feng Yuting's natural movements, and at this moment, his heart began to bleed. Although he had always kept this once pure affection buried deep within, when it was brought to the surface, it was as raw and painful as ever.

If Mu Yan's heart wasn't already in turmoil, he would have noticed that when Feng Yuting held the white man's arm, the man's body clearly stiffened. Unfortunately, Mu Yan's mind was already completely in disarray.

"Really! Yuting, I didn't expect to see you here either. Who is this?" Mu Yan tried to control his emotions and asked.

"My boyfriend Carlos. Carlos is Italian. I went to Italy after my senior year of high school, and this time we came to the country for an investment!" Feng Yuting lifted her proud head and boasted to Mu Yan about herself and her boyfriend.

Zhou Wenwen had long known about Mu Yan's story, and at the mention of Yuting's name, she immediately thought of the girl Mu Yan had saved.

At this moment, she believed that this Yuting was indeed the girl Mu Yan had sacrificed so much to save. But she never expected that the girl he had saved would turn out to be like this. She really felt that Mu Yan didn't deserve this.

Faced with Feng Yuting's boasting, Zhou Wenwen felt she couldn't let Mu Yan be embarrassed or lose. The stubbornness hidden deep within her calm heart began to show. She didn't know how she, who was usually shy, had mustered the courage, but she directly held Mu Yan's arm, just like Feng Yuting had done!

Feng Yuting noticed Zhou Wenwen's actions and even saw the hostility in the girl's eyes.

Feng Yuting had seen this look many times before. Every time she interacted with some men, the women around those men would look at her with this same look. At this moment, Feng Yuting naturally assumed the same, given her clear understanding of her own charm.

"Mu Yan, who is this?" Feng Yuting asked deliberately.

"I'm Mu Yan's girlfriend. My name is Zhou Wenwen!" Zhou Wenwen introduced herself before Mu Yan could speak.

Mu Yan felt a bit surprised. He never expected Zhou Wenwen to introduce herself like this. Because of this, Mu Yan realized that Zhou Wenwen was tightly holding his arm, and because she held it so tightly, he could even clearly feel the softness of her chest.

Mu Yan was a smart person. Zhou Wenwen's words brought him back to his senses. He seemed to understand her actions and smiled without saying anything, clearly accepting it.

"Congratulations! Miss Zhou is a very nice girl!" Feng Yuting still smiled.

"Congratulations to you too, Miss Feng, for finding a wealthy foreigner!" Zhou Wenwen, perhaps because she disliked Feng Yuting so much, couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Feng Yuting still smiled at Zhou Wenwen's words but didn't say anything more. Instead, she pulled Carlos into the café, not even leaving a contact number for Mu Yan.

"Mu Yan, she is Feng Yuting, right? The girl you saved?" After they went in, Zhou Wenwen immediately asked.

Mu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't expect to see her like this."

"Do you like her?" Zhou Wenwen asked again.

"Um! I did, but it doesn't matter anymore now," Mu Yan said bitterly.

Zhou Wenwen could sense Mu Yan's pain. A girl he once liked, a girl for whom he had sacrificed his life and future, had ultimately betrayed him. Although she had never experienced any romantic feelings, she could imagine how painful it must be.

Feeling Zhou Wenwen holding him even tighter, even leaning her body against him, Mu Yan felt a bit awkward and said, "Wenwen, thank you for helping me just now. They can't see us anymore."

"Ah!"

Hearing Mu Yan's words, Zhou Wenwen realized she was maintaining such an intimate gesture with Mu Yan. She instinctively let go of his arm, but her beautiful face had turned bright red, even her originally flawless neck had turned pink, looking very charming!

Seeing her like this, Mu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Mu Yan laugh, Zhou Wenwen pouted and said playfully, "What are you laughing at? You're so annoying!"

Such a shy and coquettish look made Mu Yan feel even more tender. Wenwen was a good girl, a girl even more perfect than he had imagined. Yuting was just a part of his past, and the past was the past. But now, he couldn't help but cherish the present Zhou Wenwen.

Mu Yan suddenly felt that perhaps today was a deliberate arrangement by fate, to completely sever his ties with the past. If he hadn't seen the current Yuting, he might have still harbored some lingering feelings for that young girl, even if he were to be with Wenwen in the future. But now, that young girl was still there, but she was just a memory of his teenage years, deep in his heart.

"Wenwen, when you said you were my girlfriend just now, was that true?" Mu Yan suddenly asked.

Hearing Mu Yan's direct question, the blush on Zhou Wenwen's face deepened, and her beautiful eyes became watery.

She herself hadn't expected to formally establish a relationship on their first meeting. She wanted to be a bit reserved, but the words of reserve wouldn't come out.

Looking at Zhou Wenwen's watery eyes, filled with tenderness, excitement, and reserve, Mu Yan gently said, "Wenwen, I will cherish you for the rest of my life!"

Mu Yan himself didn't know why he made such a commitment to a girl he had just met. If he hadn't met Feng Yuting today, Mu Yan believed he wouldn't have done so. But now that it had happened, he wouldn't retreat or hesitate in matters of the heart.

"Um!" Faced with Mu Yan's heartfelt promise, Zhou Wenwen only softly hummed in response, but even so, it was still an agreement.

He had a girlfriend now, his first true girlfriend.

At this moment, they didn't hug or kiss. Mu Yan just held Zhou Wenwen's hand, and the two of them walked hand in hand down the shaded sidewalk until they disappeared at the end of the road.

The second floor of this café was only open to a few VIP customers. At this moment, Feng Yuting stood by the window on the second floor, watching the two of them walk hand in hand until they disappeared. At this moment, Feng Yuting felt her heart shatter, and the shadow of the young man who had once been crazy for her was once again buried deep in her heart.
