"Nuan Nuan." Ren Di walked over to her friend and pulled her into a hug. "I can't watch you like this anymore." Her voice sounded as if she was going to cry.
Ren Di thought that An Nuan's mood had improved. She had seen An Nuan eating a lot and thought that An Nuan had forgotten that person. But then again, the couple has been together for years. It would be impossible to say that An Nuan could forget Pei Zhi Yi that fast.
"Pei Zhi Yi is not worthy," Ren Di continued. "You're a great person. Beautiful and smart. Pei Zhi Yi is an asshole and an idiot. He thinks that you are going to wait for him and give in to him forever. Since he liked his adopted sister so much, then he can get lost."
An Nuan blinked a few times as she continued to listen to Ren Di scolding Pei Zhi Yi using a few harsh words.
She opened her mouth a few times wanting to stop Ren Di from continuing. However, Ren Di was not going to stop.
"You already married to that Lin Xiao Feng," Ren Di said. "Look. I don't know much about your new husband, but I can tell that he is a good man. At least, his qualifications are better than Pei Zhi Yi's. When Pei Zhi Yi sees that you are together with someone like Lin Xiao Feng, he will know what is regret."
An Nuan laughed.
"What are you laughing about?" Ren Di looked unhappy. "An Nuan, I'm serious." She put both her hands on An Nuan's shoulder and looked into her eyes. "Listen to me."
"Well, I'm listening." An Nuan laughed again.
Ren Di was about to continue her scolding when she noticed the smile on An Nuan's face.
The calm look on An Nuan's face told her that An Nuan had thought of things carefully.
"Ren Di, I know that you are concerned about me." She took Ren Di's hands off her shoulders and heaved a long, heavy sigh. "I think you are right. I should not think about Pei Zhi Yi that much. Pei Zhi Yi is not worthy. Just like you said… I am beautiful and smart. It doesn't matter if Pei Zhi Yi did not want me. I still have a lot of people who love me."
"Nuan Nuan…" Ren Di hesitated.
"Don't worry. I was not thinking about Pei Zhi Yi." An Nuan patted Ren Di's hands. "I have cried so much. I won't cry over Pei Zhi Yi again." She inhaled a deep breath and looked up. "Actually, I was thinking about what I should do once we returned to Y City. " She lowered her gaze as she remembered what she had done after she agreed to marry Pei Zhi Yi. "Ren Di, I have sacrificed a lot of things to be with Pei Zhi Yi."
The light in Ren Di's eyes dimmed.
As An Nuan's friend, how can she not know what An Nuan had done for that bastard?
In the past, An Nuan had a good career. She was talented in jewelry designing and her talent was recognized by a few professionals in the industry.
Someone had taken an interest in her talent and agreed to take An Nuan as her student.
She was hired by a reputable company overseas and had a good future ahead.
If she stayed for a little longer, An Nuan would be able to make her name in the industry.
However, Pei Zhi Yi wanted to return to Y City and be with his family.
To be with the person she loved, An Nuan chose to resign from the company and return to Y City.
She was going to stay by Pei Zhi Yi's side and support him.
An Nuan had sacrificed a good future in the jewelry industry for Pei Zhi Yi.
But what did that person do?
He left An Nuan on their wedding day for his adoptive sister.
Pei Zhi Yi would use their familial relationship as his excuse. However, An Nuan knew that Sun Jiao had never thought of Pei Zhi Yi as her brother.
An Nuan no longer has the career that she had always dreamed of.
Now… it seems that she will have to change her plan. She will need to think of what she wants to do in the future.
An Nuan did not want to rely on Lin Xiao Feng or her family forever.
"Ren Di, I have to do something," An Nuan said. "I think I should get myself busy to forget Pei Zhi Yi."
Ren Di inhaled a deep breath and forced a smile. "Whatever it is that you decided to do, I trust that you can do it. Nuan Nuan, you have me. If you need my help, I will always be here."
The look in An Nuan's eyes softened.
"Are you going to leave again?" Ren Di wondered if An Nuan was going to leave the country and return to work with her mentor.
"Of course, not." An Nuan chuckled. "My family is in Y City. Lin Xiao Feng is also in Y City."
An Nuan remembered how happy her family was when she announced that she would return to Y City.
She did not leave now.
It was better to stay in the country and let her family see that her breakup with Pei Zhi Yi did not affect her that much.
"I have a few ideas," An Nuan said. "But I need to discuss things with Lin Xiao Feng first." Her expression turned serious as she thought about the person she had married. "I am not sure what he will think about it."
She suddenly wondered what Lin Xiao Feng was up to during this time.
The last time she spoke to Lin Xiao Feng was a few days ago. She texted him to report that she had arrived in T Country.
Lin Xiao Feng reminded her to take care. Then, the two of them had not exchanged another text.
She realized that once she returned to Y City, there would be a lot of things for her and Lin Xiao Feng to discuss.
