“Wow, Su Wan has gotten even more beautiful after the divorce!”

“I don’t see any tears; if anything, she looks incredibly happy!”

“If I had that much money, would I waste time mourning a jerk?”

“Ladies, she can afford to vacation abroad to heal. Meanwhile, you’re just left crying at home with your headphones on!”

…

Some people noticed something else.

“There seems to be someone standing beside Su Wan…”

“Hey, could that be her boyfriend?!”

Su Wan herself was idly scrolling through Weibo, seeing these comments and shaking her head. People were so quick to jump to conclusions these days; it felt like there was no privacy left.

Just then, someone handed her a cup of hot tea and laughed softly, “What are you looking at?”

Su Wan took the tea and looked up to see Wen Chen Yue sitting beside her, still in his ski jacket. His slender fingers deftly adjusted her collar.

Suddenly, she felt a bit dazed.

Wen Chen Yue had been quietly pursuing her, like slowly boiling a frog in warm water.

His quiet, gentle companionship made Su Wan gradually see him in a new light.

There are so many secrets in this world that are better left unsaid. Having someone by your side to share the journey seemed like a nice choice.

Su Wan said softly, “I won’t insist that you stay with me forever; after all, a lifetime is a long time.”

To her, this was only a temporary world, but for Wen Chen Yue, it was truly a lifetime with no future beyond.

Wen Chen Yue was momentarily stunned.

After a quiet moment, just as Su Wan thought he might regret his decision, he smiled gently, “It can take decades to really get to know someone. I move slowly, so you’ll have to wait for me.”

Su Wan laughed along with him. “I might be even slower. I don’t even know if I can hold on that long. Are you still willing?”

He held her hand, looking into her bright eyes, and a surge of emotion stirred within him as he whispered close to her ear.

“I am willing.”

It felt like some things were destined from their very first meeting.

…

After Li Yang’s engagement, it was as if in response, news of Su Wan’s engagement also surfaced. The Su family was waiting for some kind of scandal, but when they saw the fiancé’s name, they were momentarily stunned.

Wait a second.

Wen Chen Yue?

He actually proposed to Su Wan?!

When Su Qin received the news on set, her assistant, Cheng, looked as though he’d seen a ghost. Su Qin herself couldn’t believe it and reread the news four or five times to confirm.

Is it that Wen Chen Yue? The award-winning actor, the son of one of Asia’s richest families?

Su Qin and Su Ming couldn’t accept the news. They secretly hoped that Wen Chen Yue’s parents would reject Su Wan, pushing her out.

However, during an interview, Wen Chen Yue’s parents both expressed their satisfaction with their future daughter-in-law, saying they got along well with her.

Wen’s mother even smiled and said, “I’ve always liked this girl; now my wish has come true.”

Her words caused a stir online, and countless women couldn’t help feeling envious.

Su Wan, blessed with beauty and a well-off background, went through a rough, humiliating divorce only to turn around and marry into an even more prominent family.

If Li Yang was from a wealthy family, then the Wen family was a top-tier aristocratic family known across Asia and even globally, with deep roots, an esteemed reputation, and a history of scholars.

Placed side by side, who could even compare?

Many people began to mock Su Qin and Li Yang.

One for shamelessly pursuing her sister’s ex-husband, clinging on until she got him, and the other for not realizing his worth, treating a cheap knockoff as a treasure while letting Wen Chen Yue claim the real gem.

“Well deserved!”

“The jerk and the shameless one—a match made in heaven! Let them be ‘locked in’ forever!”
