Kiss of Venus: Chapter 32


Yu Wan looked back and forth at the message Li Shen sent.

In the past, Li Shen would often say cheesy things to her. Yu Wan would brush him off but would still feel happy inside. But that was when they were in a relationship. Now that their relationship has returned to being ordinary friends, Yu Wan couldn’t help but have seconds thought about Li Shen’s intentions.

If it was anyone else, she wouldn’t hesitate to think the other party is interested in her. But Li Shen is different. She was very decisive when she broke up with him. She knew that she broke his heart so when she saw him again, she felt guilty.

Fortunately, when they saw each other again, Li Shen didn’t show any loathing to her. She was happy enough that there was no enmity. She doesn’t dare to have any fantasies about him.

Li Shen has matured in recent years and his personality has changed a lot. He was able to let go of the pain she caused but will he be willing to be with her again?

Yu Wan smiled mockingly at herself. Everyone says one only learns from one’s mistake. Does he plan on going down the same path?

She set her phone aside and told herself not to think too much about it. He might’ve said it casually.

After Li Shen sent the message, he had been waiting for Yu Wan’s reply. He said this straightforwardly, he just didn’t even directly say “I like you.” She should understand what he means right?

But Yu Wan’s reply never came. Li Shen couldn’t help but frown.

Does this mean she is rejecting him?

Yu Wan was originally the one who proposed the breakup. It is not strange that she didn’t accept him. But he doesn’t want to give up so easily. He went on the Feelings section on the Promontory Forum and released a post.

Creator: How do I win back my ex-girlfriend?

First user: Why are you courting your ex-girlfriend? As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't turn around and graze the same patch again.

Second user: I don’t agree with the user above. If you can’t forget my ex-girlfriend, why can’t you court her again? Of course, you need to make sure your ex is still single.

Third user: Buddy. try to admit your mistakes with your ex! Tell her you regret it and you still love her the most.

Fourth user: Who was the one who suggested the breakup? In general, the probability of the woman suggesting the breakup is smaller that the man. You should reflect on what you did wrong. Maybe there is still a chance.

Fifth user: First confirm if you are still in your ex-girlfriend’s heart. You can take her to revisit the places you’ve been on a date. Maybe she can recall the beauty of being together.

After reading the suggestions from the netizens, Li Shen reflected on what he did wrong. At that time, he didn’t try to cheat or flirt with other girls. His biggest mistake was being poor.

He had corrected this error now.

It’s a good idea to take Yu Wan out to recall their feelings of being in love. Yu Wan’s birthday is coming soon. He can use this as an excuse to take Yu Wan out.

He opened the calendar app on his phone and created an event for May 20th.

In the next few days, Yu Wan would put on a different lipstick from the pile Li Shen gave her. After a few times, Zhao Xin finally found out that she had an endless supply of lipsticks but didn’t think much of it. She only thought that Yu Wan must’ve treated herself for getting a promotion.

Li Shen’s words have been on Yu Wan’s mind for a couple of days. Later on, she let go of the thought after she received new work.

The company has a new pair of customers which Wei Shao handed over to Yu Wan. Every time Wei Shao directly assigned her work, they are usually difficult cases. This was no exception.

The newlyweds are a young couple. They want to have a modern style wedding however, the parents from both sides disagree and want to hold a traditional Chinese wedding. Because most of the guests invited to the wedding are elders, they, from the younger generation, could not ignore their opinions. However, they also don’t want to have any regrets about their once-in-a-lifetime wedding.

“I really didn’t want to oppose the elders in the family. Who doesn’t want everyone to be happy when they’re getting married? But I really don’t like this kind of big red Chinese wedding!” The prospective bride, Tan Ping, complained to Yu Wan, “Because of this wedding, I have constantly been arguing with my family. They went as far as to say I revere everything foreign and pander to overseas powers and don’t appreciate the traditional culture.”

Yu Wan appeased, “Everyone has their own tastes. Chinese and Western styles have their own strengths. The main thing is to see which one the newlyweds like. Since you have invited more elders, we will definitely take into account the opinions of the elders.”

“But this is my wedding. I can’t do it just to please the elders. Li Rui and I prefer a fresh modern style.”

Yu Wan thought about it and smiled, “This isn’t something that doesn’t have a solution. You said you don’t like the bright red Chinese wedding then we will hold a small modern Chinese wedding.”

Tan Ping looked at her puzzledly, “Modern Chinese wedding? How?”

“There are many traditional elements in China. Red lanterns and big red flowers aren’t the only things that represent Chinese elements. There are also moon bridges and Jiangnan landscapes. I will make a draft in the next few days and see if you like the design. If you and your elders think it is okay, we will continue on with it.”

Tan Ping didn’t expect that a Chinese wedding could be this way. She nodded her head, “That works. I hope everyone will be satisfied with this modern Chinese wedding.”

Yu Wan mainly created a simple outline of the wedding and didn’t go into much detail. Because the newlyweds like a modern style, she set the color theme to white, green, and apricot. Different from a traditional Chinese wedding, Yu Wan didn’t use any lanterns, candles, and the sort. Instead, she chose to used oil-paper umbrellas, pontoon bridges, and wupeng boats. After she finished, she made an appointment with Tan Ping to go over the plan.

Grabbing her work bag, Yu Wan first drove to the company. As she waits for the traffic light to change, she took out her phone. As she was planning on checking the messages, she heard a “bump” coming from behind. At the same time, her car shook, pulling her forward.

Yu Wan was shocked and quickly reacted. She was rear-ended. She first checked herself first and saw that she wasn’t hurt anywhere. However, judging from the loud noise earlier, her car must’ve had some damage.

She parked the car and got out of the car to check the situation. The person who rear-ended her also got out of the car and started scolding.

“Do you know how to drive?” When he saw that Yu Wan is a woman, he became arrogant, “The light hasn’t even turned red, why did you stop all of a sudden!”

Yu Wan pursed her lips and didn’t argue with him. She first called the police and notified the insurance.

It had already passed rush hour. Although there aren’t many cars on the road, many drivers still watched on. When Xiao Dong was driving, she saw that there was a traffic jam up ahead and strangely asked, “How is there a traffic jam at this time? Is there a car accident up ahead?” She glanced at the rearview mirror. Li Shen is expressionlessly playing on his phone. Xiao Dong was afraid that the traffic would be long so she said to him, “Shen ge, I will go around.”

“En.” Li Shen responded and continued to scroll through his WeChat feed. Yu Wan is the same as before, she rarely posts on her Moments. The last time he gave her a hundred lipsticks, she didn’t brag about it to her friends. However, when he refreshed again, Yu Wan’s post popped up.

Yu Wan: This big brother rear-ended me and still had the audacity to yell at me, blaming me for recklessly driving. [smile] After the police arrived, they directly educated him on the spot [funny] A City’s traffic police sure are filled with boyfriend power. I should give them a call [pic]

Li Shen’s eyes moved. He suddenly raised his head and looked up at Xiao Dong, “Did you just say there is an accident on the other road?”

“Ah?” Xiao Dong was startled by his eager tone, “Probably. I just saw a traffic officer pass by.”

“Go back.”

“Huh?”

“Go back to that road earlier.” Li Shen’s face looks dark. Xiao Dong didn’t dare to ask more and turned the car around.

Probably because the traffic officer came, the road is not as congested as before. Xiao Dong drove the car forward. Sure enough, there was an accident at the intersection.

"It is a rear-ended accident" Xiao Dong studied the scene of the accident and drew a conclusion based on her many years of driving experience, “It looks like the car at the back was trying to rough through the red light. As a result, it didn’t expect that the car upfront would suddenly stop.”

Li Shen’s attention is completely on Yu Wan who is on the side of the road. She is standing safely to the side while talking on the phone. The traffic officer is on the other side, talking to the male driver. The scene is exactly the same as the picture she posted.

Li Shen opened the door, intending to go out but Xiao Dong caught his hand, “Shen ge, what are you doing!”

“Looking for someone.”

Xiao Dong followed his gaze and saw Yu Wan outside, “Isn’t that the planner at Miss Hu’s wedding?”

“En.” Li Shen shook off Xiao Dong’s hand and tried to get off again. Xiao Dong stopped him again, “The traffic police are here. What are you going to do!”

“I’ll go down and look at the situation.” Li Shen calmly claimed.

“.....” Xiao Dong’s lips twitched. Judging from Shen ge’s expression, he most likely wants to go down and beat someone up, “I’ll go down to take a look. If you still don’t feel assured, I can bring Miss Yu into the car.”

Li Shen clenched his teeth and wordlessly looked out the window. Yu Wan was done talking on the phone. Li Shen took out his phone and called her. Yu Wan didn’t turn off her phone before another call came in. It is from Li Shen. Yu Wam paused and quickly answered, “Li Shen, is something the matter?”

“I’m behind you.”

“What?”

“Turn around.”

Confused, Yu Wan turned around and saw the window of a car on the side of the road slowly slide down. The girl sitting in the driver’s seat smiled and waved at her.

It’s Li Shen’s assistant, Xiao Dong.

Yu Wan subconsciously looked to the back of the car. Although the windows are closed, she knows that Li Shen is inside.

She walked toward Li Shen’s car. When she was only two steps away, the window in the back was lowered. Li Shen, who is sitting by the window, was looking at her.

“How are you?”

Yu Wan knows that he is asking about the car accident. She smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine, why are you here?”

“I was just passing by and saw you post on your Moments.” His eyes sunk, “Did the driver bully you? Should I bully him back?”

Xiao Dong, “.....”

Shen ge, wake up! Do you know what you are saying?!
