The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Confession

Xu Wen quickly walked into the coffee shop, his eyes quickly swept around the store, and then settled on the window seat.

Li Yuezheng stood up, smiled and waved to him.

Xu Wen immediately noticed that she was different from usual today.

Her long hair was carefully taken care of, her makeup was more refined than when she was at work, and the cut of her dress perfectly accentuated her figure. She had obviously been carefully prepared.

Xu Wen walked to the window seat, and Li Yue raised her head to meet his gaze, smiling lightly under the light.

She gently pushed the dark blue gift box tied with a light ribbon in front of him, and her fingertips rested on the lid for a moment.

“Here,” her voice was softer than usual, “This is for you.”

There was obvious expectation and a hint of nervousness in the eyes looking at him.

“Open it and take a look?” Li Yue suggested softly, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the ear of the coffee cup.

Xu Wen thanked him and then carefully opened the dark blue box.

A premium dark blue fountain pen rests on a velvet pad.

The streamlined design of the pen body is elegant and elegant, and you can tell at a glance that it is expensive.

At this moment, even a person like Xu Wen, who was not emotionally astute, noticed something unusual.

Such a thoughtful gift, coupled with her extra careful dressing today, seems to have gone beyond the scope of saying goodbye to ordinary colleagues.

He closed the lid of the box calmly and placed the gift gently on the table.

“I hope everything goes well for you in the new company.” Li Yue said softly, her eyes casually scanning his expression, “By the way, I haven’t asked you which company you have switched to? Are you still in Lincheng?”

Xu Wen’s fingers unconsciously stroked the smooth surface of the pen box.

He was silent for a moment and then returned in a warm voice: “Actually… I didn’t just change my job. I’m ready to leave Lincheng.”

The smile on Li Yue’s face froze.

“Leave?” she repeated, with concealed surprise in her tone, “So sudden? Where are you going?”

“Go home.” Xu Wen answered simply.

Xu Wen gently pushed the gift box back to Li Yue, his tone gentle but firm: “This gift is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

Li Yue was stunned.

She clearly understood Xu Wen’s meaning. This was not only rejecting a gift, but also rejecting her possible feelings.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt.

In this small town, the pressure from her family to get married is increasing day by day. It is really difficult to meet someone who makes her heart beat like Xu Wen.

Not only does he have an outstanding appearance, but he also has a gentle and considerate personality. She feels good about him every time she comes into contact with him at work.

Now, this opportunity is about to be missed.

Li Yue took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

She raised her reddish eyes, her voice trembling: “Brother Wen, actually I…”

“Xiaoyue.” Xu Wen interrupted her at the right time. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to stop the unfinished words on his lips.

There was no surprise in his eyes, only a gentleness that he understood, and a thoughtfulness that didn’t want her to get into a more embarrassing situation.

Xu Wen looked at her and said in a sincere and sincere tone: “I understand what you mean, and I am really grateful. You are a very good girl, cheerful, careful, and have strong working ability. It has always been a pleasure to work with you.”

He paused briefly and gave her some time to digest her emotions before continuing: “But my current situation… As I just said, I have to leave here. There are too many uncertain things that I need to complete in the future. Now, I cannot respond responsibly to anyone’s feelings.”

He did not give Li Yue a chance to speak again and ended the conversation: “You deserve someone who can treat you wholeheartedly and give you a stable future here. Believe me, you will definitely meet him.”

Xu Wen didn’t let her say the confession herself, which saved her the embarrassment of being rejected directly.

Li Yue looked at him and understood everything from his gentle but firm eyes.

The courage I had just mustered up slowly dissipated like a balloon punctured by a needle.

A brief silence filled the air.

Li Yue took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and natural: “So, are you leaving with your brother…?”

“Yes.” Xu Wen answered almost without hesitation.

The moment he mentioned Lu Qingrang, the lines on his face softened unconsciously, and there seemed to be a light flickering in his eyes that always had a somewhat casual smile, which was a kind of trust and concern from the heart.

Li Yue clearly captured this subtle change in his expression.

A man would smile like this when he mentioned another man, and she suddenly understood it all.

All the previous doubts have been answered, why he can always maintain friendly but clear boundaries towards the women around him, and why he has never considered staying for anyone in his future plans.

It turned out that he had already given all his tenderness and exception to a specific person.

At this moment, Xu Wen’s cell phone rang.

Xu Wen looked down and saw a message from Lu Qingrang popping up on the screen. The content contained only a simple symbol:

L：【:(】

Xu Wen’s face changed instantly and he became a little anxious.

“Brother Wen, if you have something urgent, please go back quickly.” Li Yue spoke in a very knowledgeable manner, her tone had returned to calmness, and she even had a knowing smile.

Xu Wen kept Lu Qingrang in mind, and didn’t bother to be polite. He just said hastily, “Sorry, I’ll leave first, keep in touch,” and turned to leave.

“Brother Wen!” Li Yue called softly from behind him.

Xu Wen turned around subconsciously.

Li Yue looked at him with a sincere and relieved blessing on his face, and said the last few words clearly: “I wish you happiness, Brother Wen.”

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. This sudden blessing made him feel a little strange, but at this moment, the anxiety in his heart took over. He just nodded hastily, then turned around and quickly disappeared at the door of the coffee shop.

Lu Qingrang’s eyes were locked on the closed door, as if he wanted to burn through it.

Time seems to be frozen.

It’s obviously been so long, why hasn’t Xu Wen come back yet?

He endured the dizziness and dull pain in his head, struggled to stand up, and fumbled for his mobile phone that was thrown at the end of the bed.

The screen turned on, and the dazzling light made him squint. Unexpectedly, less than five minutes had passed?

With a nervous tremor on his fingertips, he repeatedly and mechanically slid up the chat interface between him and Xu Wen. Those texts that he had read countless times did not bring any comfort.

Want to ask him?

Will he find it annoying?

Why does time move so slowly?

Do you want to go find him?

This idea was rejected by him as soon as it came up.

Xu Wen will be angry.

…But, just ask.

Just for a moment.

In the end, his reason was completely overwhelmed by the surging uneasiness.

Lu Qingrang lowered his eyelashes, tapped slowly with his trembling fingers, and sent a symbol.
