Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 840: Chapter 507: No Regrets / Anticipation

”You mean you didn’t see Yue Lingqin when you came in?” Yu Wenze sighed, ”She is a student I hold in high regard, but I never expected she would do something like this. If she’s not outside, there are only two possibilities: she’s gone to the hospital or... you know.”

Han Xue hesitated: ”Are you sure it was her who tampered with the coffee?”

”Do you think anyone else would do such a thing?” Yu Wenze suddenly had an idea flash through his mind but then shook his head, ”Probably not, it doesn’t seem to benefit him.”

Han Xue looked at him doubtfully: ”Did you think of another possibility?”

”Wife, let’s not think about this anymore. Let’s go to your house first, or else Mom and Dad will be anxiously waiting.”

”Okay.”

Seeing Yu Wenze unwilling to discuss the topic further, Han Xue wisely refrained from pressing.

Han Xue’s magnanimity made Yu Wenze feel somewhat uncomfortable: ”Wife, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just... this matter is sensitive, and if something goes wrong, I don’t want you to get involved. But please believe me, it won’t be long before you know what I was about to say.”

Han Xue smiled, extending her delicate hand to cover his eyes, ”I’m going to change clothes now, no peeking.”

”You’re already my wife, what is there that I can’t see?” Yu Wenze said, though he sensibly closed his eyes and didn’t move.

Han Xue glanced at him, her heart immediately feeling sweet, knowing that if he didn’t understand her character, he wouldn’t actually behave this way.

Thinking about how, since he met her, many of his unreliable traits had disappeared, it only represented his care. Only when someone truly cares for another would he change for her!

These years of persistence, these years of waiting, finally paid off.

In this world, not everyone meets the one truly meant for them, or perhaps, not everyone can have real love. How fortunate is she?

After changing clothes, they walked outside, almost bumping into Mr. Ji, who was in charge of the hallway cleaning.

Yu Wenze glanced at the other party, puzzled: ”Old Ji, what were you doing in that room?”

”Nothing, nothing,” Mr. Ji stammered, but his expression was noticeably uneasy.

Han Xue quickly thought and immediately said: ”Yue Lingqin is in there?”

”No... yes...” Mr. Ji’s head drooped even lower.

”I’ll go check.”

”No need.” Yu Wenze hurriedly pulled Han Xue back, shaking his head at her, ”She should be fine now; if you go over, it will only embarrass her more.”

”You’re right, you thought it through,” Han Xue said as she looked at Mr. Ji, ”Regardless of what you just did, you mustn’t tell anyone, understand?”

”I understand, I understand.” Mr. Ji’s face turned pained, ”Teacher Han, I really didn’t mean it, I was sweeping the floor when she dragged me in. I... I’m a man after all, not married, I couldn’t control myself.”

”You’re not married?”

Originally feeling a bit embarrassed by Mr. Ji’s words, Han Xue’s surprise instantly overcame her shyness.

”Yes, although I’m over forty, I haven’t met the right person, so I haven’t married,” Mr. Ji replied sheepishly, adding, ”My family’s poor, and my mother is bedridden, so no one is willing to marry me.”

”Go back to work.” After saying that, Han Xue waved to him and whispered, ”By the way, her clothes are still wearable, right?”

Mr. Ji nodded: ”Yes.”

”Alright.” Yu Wenze shrugged, pulling Han Xue as they walked away.

As their figures disappeared at the corner, the door beside the laboratory quietly opened. Yue Lingqin watched the empty hallway, tears rolling down like broken pearls.

From now on, she and Yu Wenze are impossible; she was very clear about this.

Yu Wenze doesn’t love her; this was also something she very much understood.

At that time, she stood at the bathroom door, pleading, and even though he was poisoned, he was completely unmoved. If she still didn’t understand his feelings, then she’s lived all these years in vain.

Amusingly, earlier, she thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In not being able to control herself and not wanting to embarrass herself further, she chose the honest Mr. Ji and threatened him not to speak out, but who would have thought that they were coincidently caught by Yu Wenze?

When she heard Han Xue’s voice, she was utterly despaired, giving up on her and going to Han Xue; isn’t this so ironic!

However, at this point, she also doesn’t hate Yang Miao. Even though he led her to lose her chastity to a cleaning worker, she doesn’t hate him; if there’s blame, it’s only herself to blame for her incompetence, no one else.
