C6 She Didn't Want to be Alone

"No." Xia Wennuan giggled and held Faang Ziqi's hand, "I still have you."

"Go!" Faang Ziqi pretended to be disgusted and wanted to shake off Xia Wennuan's hand, "I must marry myself before 28 years old! I will not accompany you for your entire life."

"You get married and I will be your bridesmaid!"

Xia Wennuan did not care about being "abandoned" by Faang Ziqi at all. She rubbed her car and the two of them chatted and laughed on the way home.

Xia Wennuan's family and Faang Ziqi were in the same community and were in the neighboring building. The two of them said goodbye downstairs. Xia Wennuan had Mo Shaoqing's coat on her arm as she went home.

Pushing open the door, indeed, her father and stepmother were both asleep. The living room was dark and there was not even half a lamp.

It had always been like this. This was her house, but no one cared about her leaving early or returning late. As long as Xia Siying came back, the people in the house would be at ease.

As for her, she was just a tenant in this house.

Xia Wennuan took a shower and looked at Mo Shaoqing's coat and her own coat soaking together. A strange feeling suddenly emerged in her heart.

She actually did not reject it at all.

After washing the clothes and dumping the water, Xia Wennuan took back the small balcony in her room to dry it so that her stepmother and Xia Siying would not make a big fuss about it tomorrow.

Even so, Xia Wennuan was not able to escape the torture on the second day.

"Wennuan!" Xia Tingsheng stared at Xia Wennuan unhappily. "Yesterday, before you and Siying went to the cocktail party, what did I tell you? What did you do in the end?"

"Dad." Xia Wennuan felt a little helpless. "It's not that I can matchmake Siying with whoever I want. Furthermore, Siying did not stay with me for long last night."

"Why don't you follow Siying and help her?" The stepmother Tao Lihua questioned with a cold face.

Xia Wennuan said calmly, "I think it is better to let Siying perform freely." As she spoke, she looked at Xia Siying, "What's more, Siying, do you need me to help you?"

"I..." Xia Siying was at a loss for words for a moment.

Saying that she needed Xia Wennuan's help was equivalent to admitting that she was weak. She absolutely could not be humiliated in front of Xia Wennuan.

If she said she did not need it, it would also give face to her mother.

This was also the reason why Xia Siying hated Xia Wennuan. She looked harmless, but in reality, she was smarter than anyone else.

Xia Siying coldly snorted and sat down to eat breakfast.

Tao Lihua also had nothing to say and only urged in a strange tone, "Wennuan, don't say that Auntie did not remind you. You should hand over this month's living expenses to me."

Yes, Xia Wennuan was Xia Tingsheng's biological daughter. But from the first month of her graduation internship, she had to pay the rent and living expenses for Tao Lihua.

She lived in the smallest bedroom with a small balcony. Every month, she had to pay 1,200 yuan of rent and 1,300 yuan of living expenses. Tao Lihua said that she had taken advantage of it.

She did not say anything but just paid the money on time at the beginning of every month like today.

After paying, she did not have the mood to eat breakfast. She took a box of milk and carried a bag downstairs. Coincidentally, she ran into Faang Ziqi.

Faang Ziqi rolled down the window. "Come up. I'll send you to the company."

Xia Wennuan did not want to squeeze through the bus. She sat on the passenger seat and said, "Thanks. I'll treat you to a movie tonight. Do you have time?"

"Let's change the time. I should be quite busy today." Faang Ziqi looked at Xia Wennuan's expression, "Have you paid for your living expenses again? Why are you still staying at that house? Move out and live. I really don't want to live alone. Move to my house!"

In the end, Xia Wennuan rejected Faang Ziqi.

It was not that she did not think about moving out.

But if she moved out, she would really be alone. She would have no parents, no family. She would be completely alone.

So, it was better to stay at that house. At least after work, she would be able to see people walking around at home. She would be able to smell the aroma of food, not the empty and lonely room.

After a busy day, Xia Wennuan got off work at five o'clock in the afternoon.

A young man and woman walked out of the tall office building one after another. Xia Wennuan did not rush to the bus station like the others. Instead, she walked towards the direction of the sunset by herself.

There was a bus station about one kilometer away. There was a bus that could reach the entrance of her neighborhood.

Although it would take twenty minutes, this bus was not a popular route, so there were not many people even during peak periods. Plus, Xia Wennuan liked to walk, so she usually came here to take the bus.

But she did not expect that the first one to arrive today was not the bus, but Mo Shaoqing.

He walked over from the other end of the road, going against the light of the setting sun. The outline and facial features seemed to be even deeper. Xia Wennuan's heart suddenly pounded violently.

Mo Shaoqing stood in front of Xia Wennuan. He was really very tall and invisible pressure pressed down on her. Xia Wennuan was at a loss as to what to do and said with difficulty, "What a coincidence..."

"What a coincidence." Mo Shaoqing stared at Xia Wennuan. "I came to find you."

"Looking for me?"
