Chapter 24: Guilty?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Realizing that something was not right, Aunt Lin looked at her Young Master in a different light. She thought of Wen Xi’s state and expression this morning and felt a little uncomfortable. She was feeling sad and indignant for her Young Lady. Before Chen Ze could say anything, she immediately added, “Young Master, you’ve gone too far this time! You’ve already left work early today and don’t have any other business to attend to. Why didn’t you think of going back to the Wen family with Young Lady? That wouldn’t even take much time!”

‘You… What would Young Lady think?’ Young Lady must be so heartbroken!

Aunt Lin did not directly say the last sentence, because she had already seen the confusion and frustration on Chen Ze’s face. It seemed like her Young Master really did not know about this!

Chen Ze’s strange silence made Aunt Lin stop nagging. He looked away and looked at the time on his watch. It was almost 10 o’clock in the evening. His phone, which never left his side, was unusually quiet today.

There were no more messages from Wen Xi, and there were an average of seven or eight missed calls every day. Even on a special day like today, there were no other calls or messages.

Knowing how Wen Xi’s mother is, if he didn’t go home with Wen Xi today, it would be impossible for him to escape her demonic voice!

Even if he had really forgotten that it was Wen Xi’s birthday today, she would have bombarded him with phone calls and a dozen text messages to remind him that there was such a thing today! In any case, it couldn’t possibly be as quiet as it was now. This was too abnormal.

His brows furrowed slightly as he thought about these things in an unusual silence. After a long while, he took the phone on the table and unlocked the screen. When he found Wen Xi’s number and was just a step away from calling her, he stopped again.

Aunt Lin stood by the side and watched anxiously. She wanted to help him make the call, but when she saw the cold expression on his face, she did not dare to be rash. She only felt sad for Wen Xi in her heart.

She also knew that there was no deep relationship between her Young Master and Young Lady. If she were to describe it in one word, it was definitely not a harmonious relationship, but they still had some level of respect for each other. If she were to analyze this relationship from her Young Lady’s point of view, it would be a very bitter situation of ‘a warm face meeting a cold butt’!

Chen Ze did not love Wen Xi, and that was something the entire Chen family knew and understood.

Even if he didn’t like her, but based on their relationship in reality, he should not be so cold and indifferent!

Wasn’t he a famous, outstanding youth in City A? Such a well-known ‘outstanding youth’ didn’t even know basic etiquette and mannerism? What kind of person was this?

Aunt Lin didn’t dare to think too deeply about the heartless remarks above. She just felt that her Young Master had gone a little too far, and she felt a little apologetic from Wen Xi’s perspective, which was why she was so conflicted.

On the other hand, Chen Ze was unaware of Aunt Lin’s thoughts. He was only thinking that today was Wen Xi’s birthday. The next time he went to the Wen family, he would apologize to Wen Liang and Xiao Ping. Anyway, Wen Xi would not really blame him for such a small matter. She knew that he was a very busy person, so this was excusable!

However, what he did not expect was that not everything in the world will always go according to his wishes. No one would really guard a cold and emotionless stone statue and in a relationship that was destined for nothing but only disappointment and sadness.

Chen Ze would not give Wen Xi any love now, so when she left the stage in the middle of this one-man show of love, he felt a very strange and tiny uneasiness, just like now!
