Chapter 267 -267: Who Can Be Sure About Matters of the Heart?

Half an hour later, Xi Wanlin returned to Li Hengze’s apartment.

She and Li Hengze had already registered their marriage, so it was natural for her to live with him.

On the night she threatened to jump off the building, Li Hengze held her as she cried for a long time, worried that she truly might die.

Moreover, the words Li Hengze said to her were deeply moving; he truly loved her and not because of her family.

At the time, Xi Wanlin watched as the overweight man cried like a 200-pound child, and she resolved that from then on, she was determined to have a good life with Li Hengze!

Usually, Li Hengze would be at the bar at this time, but ever since she threatened to jump, he made a point of spending an hour or two every day to accompany her.

When Xi Wanlin got home, Li Hengze had already prepared juice for her and also some bird’s nest soup.

“Wife, you’re back?” Li Hengze approached and embraced her.

Xi Wanlin, leaning against his plump body, always felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But Li Hengze really liked her, hugging her for a long time before he was willing to let go, and then he kissed her fervently on the face before saying, “Wife, drink your juice, I’ve got it all ready for you.”

“Thanks,” Xi Wanlin replied distantly.

As she turned away, she secretly wiped the saliva from her face.

Seeing the bird’s nest soup, juice, and peeled nuts on the dining table made her frown slightly, “Why have you made so much food again? I’m afraid of getting fat.”

“It’s just juice and bird’s nest soup, they don’t have many calories. How could they make you fat? You’re so thin, you should eat more,” Li Hengze said.

Thinking of his crying that night, Xi Wanlin didn’t have the heart to refuse and slowly ate.

While she was drinking the bird’s nest, he took out a bag of chips and sat opposite her, crunching away.

Xi Wanlin frowned, “Why do you always eat these junk foods?”

“They’re tasty,” laughed Li Hengze. “I know you don’t like them, so I didn’t buy any for you. It’s fine if just I get fat.”

Xi Wanlin said, “Being too fat is unhealthy; you should eat less.”

“But if I don’t eat, I get unhappy. Besides, I’m only 200 pounds now, and I’m quite tall, so it doesn’t really show that much.”

Xi Wanlin thought to herself, 200 pounds isn’t fat? Are you aiming for 300 pounds or what?

She couldn’t help saying, “You should still lose some weight.”

Li Hengze replied indifferently, “I’ve tried losing weight a few times, but it’s too hard. I either have to eat less or move more, or else sleep less and drink less. Aside from drinking less, I can’t manage to do any of it. If so-called health requires giving up that much happiness, then I’d rather stay fat. At least I’m happy. Life is about eating and drinking well, don’t you agree? Besides, although I’m chubby, you are slim. Having one slim person in the house is enough.”

Xi Wanlin gave him a blank look, unable to hide her disgust.

Suddenly, she thought of Su Meixi.

Why was it that Su Meixi could find such a perfect man? One with both physique and presence; being with such a man in bed must be blissful every day, right?

After Li Hengze finished his chips and saw that Xi Wanlin had also finished her bird’s nest, he picked up her bowl unprompted, “I’ll wash the dishes for you. You go to sleep first tonight; I have to keep an eye on the bar. I’ll probably be back around midnight.”

Xi Wanlin walked to the kitchen, watching Li Hengze’s back as he washed the dishes for her.

She suddenly felt her jealousy was absurd; Li Hengze was so good to her, why should she despise him?

…

However, who can ever be certain about matters of the heart?

The next day, on her way to work, Xi Wanlin’s car was suddenly rear-ended.

She had been driving normally when unexpectedly an electric bike stopped in front of her, forcing her to brake hard, and then she was hit by a black sedan from behind.

Thankfully, everyone’s speed wasn’t too high, so she wasn’t hurt.

She got out of her car to see how the one behind her fared.

The rear car’s door opened, and a man wearing a woolen coat emerged.

Xi Wanlin’s first impression was that the man looked vaguely familiar; her second was that he was very handsome, at least 6 feet tall, with a great physique. He was wearing a tight-fitting turtleneck sweater under his coat, hinting at a chiseled chest and a slim waist.

Xi Wanlin wasn’t unaccustomed to handsome men, but compared to looks, she placed more emphasis on the man’s family background.

Good looks are useless; family background is what matters.

“Xi Wanlin?” The man actually called out her name.

Xi Wanlin was taken aback, “Who are you?”

“I’m Lu Lei.”

Lu Lei?

Xi Wanlin suddenly remembered.

Back in high school, there was a Lu Lei who frequently wrote her love letters. He was from the next class and would often walk by hers to chase after her.

He even changed his WeChat name to “Xi Wanlin’s Man.”

Each time he passed by, her classmates would tease and provoke laughter.

At the time, Xi Wanlin didn’t give a second thought to this Lu Lei. Firstly, even though he was tall, he was as skinny as a pole. Secondly, she had heard he came from an ordinary family, which wasn’t up to her standards for a partner.

Above all, Xi Wanlin had always wanted to marry into the Li Family. She was worried that if her biological parents turned up, she might lose everything from the Xi Family.

She had asked Li Shirui about the hospital where she was born. Li Shirui had said it wasn’t disclosed, only that it was a very small hospital. Those who chose to give birth in such a hospital couldn’t be from a prestigious family.

Looking at the tall and handsome Lu Lei before her, Xi Wanlin said, “So it’s you, sorry, I didn’t recognize you at first.”

Lu Lei looked at Xi Wanlin. The high schooler from back then had matured into a man, but his gaze at her was still filled with interest, “It’s fine. I’m glad I could recognize you. No matter when, I’d always know it’s you.”

Xi Wanlin, faced with his provocative words, didn’t know why, but she felt quite pleased.

She really needed new friends at this time.

Especially since the current Lu Lei was more handsome than Li Hengze, and he even drove a Porsche.

“Sorry, it was my fault for hitting the brakes too hard, causing you to rear-end me. I’m to blame; why don’t you call the police? Whatever compensation is needed, I’ll comply,” Xi Wanlin offered.

Lu Lei smiled indifferently, “Call the police? Why sour the mood? I have several more of these ‘broken’ cars at home. It’s just a scratch.”

Hearing he had several more cars like this one at home made her heart blossom with joy, “What do you do? You sound quite wealthy.”

Lu Lei laughed, “Chatting in the middle of the road isn’t suitable. How about we find a place to talk properly?”

…

Half an hour later, they entered a coffee shop.

As soon as they sat down, Lu Lei looked at Xi Wanlin with concern, “You don’t seem to be in good shape.”

“Oh, how can you tell?”

Lu Lei laughed, “Even though you’ve put on makeup, there are still some dark circles under your eyes, which shows you haven’t been sleeping well lately. You look a bit worn. Are you troubled by something?”

Xi Wanlin knew why Lu Lei was saying these things; these were the typical sweet words men use to charm women.

But right now, she was actually quite receptive to them.
