At the time, she didn't feel like anything was wrong; she just thought that being with Han Zhifan was a good thing. Never did she imagine that Han Zhifan didn't want to introduce her to his friends because he hadn't wanted her to enter his world from the very beginning.
The night she bumped into several of Han Zhifan's friends was actually the first time she met them.
And she only happened to bump into them when she and Han Zhifan were at the entrance of a restaurant they just dined at.
When they left, Han Zhifan casually asked several friends where they were going. Someone replied with the word "Jiayuan," then another person winked at Han Zhifan and said, "A place you won't ever have the chance to go to again."
With a cigarette between his lips, Han Zhifan yelled, "Get lost!" After the group left, he held her hand and walked over to the car which the driver parked by the sidewalk.
Out of pure curiosity, she asked Han Zhifan, "Zhifan, what kind of place is Jiayuan? Why won't you have a chance to go there?"
Han Zhifan didn't plan on telling her the truth, so he half-heartedly said, "Just a resort."
She wasn't stupid; she could tell he was lying to her. They had been together for so long, and he had been to resorts before.
She continued to ask him several times but she didn't notice how the expression on the driver's face at the front of the car changed. In the end, Han Zhifan just couldn't take her questions anymore, so he hugged her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. Then he whispered, "It's a hotel, but it's a different hotel from the others. They only serve male guests and they secretly have special services which aren't too bad. Basically, it's a place men take women to have sex."
After explaining what kind of place Jiayuan was, he then added, "I know this place but I've never been there."
Embarassed by what he said, she didn't reply. Her face was so red that she struggled out of his embrace, turned her head and looked out the window.
Soon after the car drove off, she couldn't help but edge to his side then asked in a volume only the two of them could hear: "Have you really never been?"
"Nope," he replied without hesitation.
She believed him and raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
Then he stared at her and seductively teased, "I never went before meeting you and now that I met you, I can bear not going since I have you."
After all, she was the woman he was serious about and not some random woman he was messing with at a hotel.
Although over two years had passed, she could still clearly remember how happy she was, hearing him say that.
It was in the past now, but now that they were involved again, she knew full well what he meant when he said "Jiayuan."
He was warning her that he saw this as a business transaction and she was a woman he was just randomly messing with.
With her phone in hand, Cheng Weiwan stood frozen in place for a long time before she raised her head and glanced at the inpatient block in front of her. In the end, she turned around and walked out of the hospital. She hailed a taxi and directed the driver to take her to Jiayuan.
It wasn't really important to her how he viewed her.
As long as he was willing to let her see Hanhan, that was fine.
For ages now, he hadn't been the same person as he was before.
The man she loved died a long time ago, that night when she was over six months pregnant, standing outside his apartment building as she watched him being intimate with another woman.
