Chapter Seven

"The breath of life?" Yu You Nuan repeated it once more

The small town features an intricate network of waterways, lush trees providing ample shade, and an atmosphere of tranquility. In the green square, many elderly men and women are dancing to the most dazzling ethnic tunes.

At this moment, Yu Younuan's fingers gently tapped on the table as she recalled the Green Garden Community where Zuo Wen lived. Upon seeing this interview, she suddenly felt she understood a bit of Zuo Wen's inner thoughts. Although he had always been proactive and ambitious, he had never felt ashamed of his ordinary background; he still cherished that kind of...

Guan Zhaocheng watched as Xiang Ying entered the changing room, and then sat down beside Yu Younuan. "Younuan, are you feeling better?"

Sister Hui said with some difficulty: "Miss, it has been ten years since that incident, and I truly do not remember it well. Moreover, you were still very young at that time"

In recent years, Zuo Wen has rarely made headlines, which can be understood as him becoming more low-key, or it can be said that the media is giving him more respect. The last time a gossip magazine sensationalized rumors about a young actress and him, it vanished without a trace the next day

Yu Younuan stood by the square with her luggage, watching for quite a while. She checked the time; at this hour, Luo Wen's parents should be exercising in this square.

When women experience a breakup, if they are unwilling to cry, they are likely to start binge eating or excessively using their credit cards

The last time they met was the distant Miss Yu, but privately she had become Yu Younuan, who secretly pouted in her heart. After hearing Guan Zhaocheng's words, Yu Younuan nodded and said, "It's quite good, but I still can't remember things from the past"

The Green Garden Community is the antique community where the Left Wen Apartment is located

Originally, I came out to relax, but Yu couldn't help but think of Zuo Wen. She turned to the driver, Old Wang, and said: "Go to the Green Garden Community"

Yu Younuan did not get out of the car, quietly looking out of the window, as one elderly lady or gentleman after another held their grandchildren's school bags, leading them home.

Old Wang smiled and said, "Perhaps it is because he feels the vitality of life here; the Yu residence is just too quiet"

Guan Zhaocheng's peach blossom eyes sparkled continuously, while Yu Younuan felt a twinge of disgust. This person is in a relationship with Xiang Ying yet wants to engage in ambiguous interactions with her. Does he really think she cannot remember the past?

Yu Younuan did not go to find Zuo Wen this time; instead, she returned to the Yu residence and went into her room to search for information about Zuo Wen online

Guan Zhaocheng said: "You really scared me last time. In fact, not being able to remember past events is not necessarily a bad thing"

Yu Younuan discerned a hint of difference in Sister Hui's expression, "Sister Hui, don't deceive me, was it not a pleasant situation at that time?"

Unfortunately, Yu You Nuan could not help but frown; seeing Guan Zhao Chen made her feel annoyed, and she could not help but recall that unbearable scene.

The expected answer was likely something along the lines of achieving new heights in his career. At that time, Zuo Wen was only twenty-eight years old, a period when one should be filled with ambition and aspirations to shape the world. However, his answer was that his dream was to have a daughter and to return home to a table set with steaming hot meals waiting for him

Yu Younuan read the interview back and forth several times. Zuo Wen's answers were concise, but the last question truly provoked deep thought. The interviewer asked him what his greatest dream in this life was

A life filled with the vibrancy of existence... devoid of endless social engagements, without the need for formal attire at banquets, lacking the coldness of villas, and free from the betrayal of a wife

Yu Younuan took a careful look at her under the light of the square and found that she bore a striking resemblance to her grandmother in the photo. With a hint of uncertainty, she said: "Mom?"

Sister Hui hesitated for a moment, then shook her head again

A lady in her fifties, with permed hair and dressed in a group dance outfit, holding a peach-colored dance fan, glanced back at Yu You Nuan several times as she passed by, before calling out somewhat uncertainly: "You Nuan?"

At 8:30 in the evening, the people dancing in the square began to gradually disperse

Bai Xuan was taken aback, not expecting that after many years, she would see her proud daughter-in-law here, and even hear her call out "Mom".

Yu Younuan turned her head to scrutinize Guan Zhaocheng, feeling that there was more to his words than met the eye. Although Yu Younuan could not recall past events, she possessed a creative mind, and she had pieced together the past stories with a fair degree of accuracy.

Yu You Nuan said: "Sister Hui, have you met Zuo Wen's parents?"

"Miss Xiang, your clothes have been altered. Would you like to try them on?" The sales assistant smiled as she spoke to Xiang Ying

It is indeed not a bad thing, Yu Youwan said lightly.

No, I cannot. Yu You Nuan stood up and said, Please convey my apologies to Xiang Ying, I have to leave for another matter.

I don't know," said Sister Hui

Do you remember where Zuo Wen's parents live? Yu You Nuan asked again

Children play and frolic, lively and cheerful

Xiang Ying nodded slightly at Yu You Nuan, saying, "I will go change my clothes first; you and Zhao Chen can chat for a while."

Regarding square dancing, Yu Younuan has gained some understanding. The square dance rhythm in the Green Garden Community is relatively slow, while the elderly here seem to possess an abundance of energy, dancing at a pace even faster than that of the young.

Yu Younuan is naturally the latter

"You again, what a coincidence." Xiang Ying smiled and waved at Yu You Nuan, who was standing next to Guan Zhao Chen with his hands in his pants pockets. The sales assistant beside them couldn't help but have stars in her eyes upon seeing Guan Zhao Chen.

Yu Younuan was almost in despair over herself; what on earth had she done in the past

Have his parents never come? Did they not come when I married him?" Yu You Nuan pressed for more information

"I have a new play premiering soon, would you like to attend the premiere?" Guan Zhaocheng said

If Yu Younuan still remembers the past, she would recall her comment about Zuo Wen at that time, "What a country bumpkin; even in a dragon robe, he does not resemble an emperor"

After Yu Younuan left the study, she sat in a daze in the living room on the second floor until Sister Hui came up to turn off the lights

A young white-collar worker is carrying groceries bought along the way and is also walking into the community

Yu Younuan took a breath of the fresh air outside, while the scent of the cologne on Guan Zhaocheng made her feel suffocated. Fortunately, the only scents on Zuo Wen were that of shower gel and refreshing aftershave.

"Uncle Wang, why do you think Zuo Wen likes living here so much?" Yu Younuan murmured

"Miss, why aren't you returning to your room?" Sister Hui inquired

The answer given by Zuo Wen is so simple that everyone feels he is not speaking the truth

Truly, it was a case of knowing nothing despite asking three questions, and Yu Yaun could only let Sister Hui leave. However, it was not difficult for Miss Yu to investigate such a trivial matter; she spent five hundred US dollars to obtain the address and information of Zuo Wen's parents.

It was nothing more than her, Yu You Nuan, who, after marrying Zuo Wen, found him dull and uninteresting, and could not help but develop an extramarital affair with Guan Zhao Chen. As for Guan Zhao Chen's current relationship with Xiang Ying, she was unaware whether it began before or after her car accident, and she had no interest in knowing.

Guan Zhaocheng is dressed very casually today, wearing a white heart-shaped collar T-shirt that slightly reveals a bit of his collarbone, embodying both coolness and sensuality. He comes from a background as a male model, and his physique is naturally excellent. It is no wonder that the media refers to him as a lethal weapon that can captivate young girls and young women.

Yu Younuan sat on the sofa, her fingers lightly tapping on the images as she browsed through the designer's new collection for this year. When the doorbell rang, she did not look up until she heard the other party calling her.

The interview with Zuo Wen that Yu Younuan found dates back seven years. At that time, Zuo Wen was full of vigor, having just started his own company. His first project achieved great success, and by the end of the year, he received a certificate as one of the city's top ten outstanding young people from the mayor.

Sister Hui was taken aback by Yu Younuan's question, and then shook her head

Zuo Wen's parents still reside in the small town in the south where he was born. After Yu You Nuan disembarked from the plane, he first took a car to the prefecture-level city where the town is located, then transferred to another vehicle to reach the county seat, and finally arrived at the small town.
