My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Chapter 685

Chapter 685: 685, my husband is doing this for your own good, for the sake of our children!

Su Wanwan was surprised that this woman was so good-tempered, even calling her “little girl”.

She was only a few years older than her, yet she spoke with the affection of an elder.

The next second.

“Just a little sore on my toes.”

Uh.

Hearing this, Su Wanwan felt awkward and could only continue to apologize, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

But the woman asked her, “What’s your name?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback but instinctively answered, “My name is Su Wanwan.”

“Su Wanwan?” The woman softly repeated her name, then smiled faintly, “What a nice name.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

My god.

This woman was so gentle when she talked and laughed, she seemed so different from the gangster lady in the elevator earlier.

“Can I call you Wanwan?” the woman asked again.

“Of course.”

Su Wanwan was somewhat unsure of what the woman wanted.

She had been quite good-tempered, but then asked for her name, and seemed to want to chat, could it be…

Was she going to ask for compensation?

“I’d like to go to the café outside, could you help me get there?”

Su Wanwan had to agree and said, “Sure.”

The woman raised her right hand, and Su Wanwan instinctively began to support her arm.

A faint fragrance wafted over.

Was it… sandalwood?

Su Wanwan took a closer look and saw that the woman was indeed wearing a string of red sandalwood beads around her wrist.

Quite distinctive taste.

Guiding her to the neighboring cafe, they found a seat. After they had sat down, Su Wanwan asked, “What would you like to drink? I’m buying.”

Hearing this, the woman couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re still a student, I should be the one treating.”

Su Wanwan was surprised, “How did you know I was a student?”

The woman responded with a gentle smile, “Are you not? You look so young, about… eighteen or nineteen?”

Su Wanwan said, “I’m actually twenty this year, and yes, I am a student. But since I accidentally stepped on you earlier, let me buy the drinks. Otherwise, I will feel guilty.”

“Well, then.” The woman didn’t insist any further.

The waiter came over promptly, “What can I get for you?”

“A cup of sugar-free mocha.”

“Alright.”

The woman turned to ask Su Wanwan, “You seem to have not had lunch yet, would you like a meal to go with that?”

“No need, I’m not hungry.”

Actually, Su Wanwan was eager to apologize and leave quickly.

This woman was older, more mature, and had an unpredictable demeanor.

Just moments ago in the elevator, she had the aloof demeanor of a gang leader; now she was warm and elegant as a neighbourly older sister.

But it was undeniable that her attire was meticulous with precise taste. The five foreign bodyguards nearby also clearly indicated her extraordinary identity.

Not to mention her inborn elegance and nobility that was evident in every movement she made.

Looking at herself…

She was completely from a different world.

Therefore, Su Wanwan did not want to waste any more time, “I’m sorry. Since you’re not seriously hurt, I’ll pay the bill and leave first.”

“Wait.”

The woman suddenly stopped her, taking out a business card from her bag, “Wanwan, this is my business card.”

Su Wanwan stretched out her hand to take it.

Yan Shunhua.

Looking at the title below the name.

Su Wanwan was even more surprised, “You’re a director?”

The woman nodded.

Suddenly, Su Wanwan felt a deep respect for her.

This was her first encounter with a female director in real life, though she had never heard of this name before.

“This is my new business card for my career in China, I have plans to move back to the country soon, so you might not have heard of my name.” Yan Shunhua explained patiently as if reading her mind.

Su Wanwan was even more embarrassed, “I’m sorry, I’m a bit ignorant.”

Yan Shunhua couldn’t help but laugh.

The girl in front of her was wearing a simple T-shirt paired with a coat and jeans, white shoes, and radiated youthful energy.

Her long black hair was casually tied into a bun, revealing a delicate and petite face. Without any makeup on, her face still radiated a youthful glow, pure and translucent, making one appreciate the blessings of youth!

Looking at her, those beautiful phoenix eyes were clear and innocent, one could easily see through any emotion in them.

Earlier, she purposely approached, allowing Su Wanwan to bump into her.

Because she kept her head down without speaking, Su Wanwan kept apologizing, her contrite face evident, even wanting to invite her for coffee…

It was apparent that she was a well-behaved and polite girl.

Yan Shunhua looked at her and suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

She quickly lowered her head to hide her own frailty.

Thankfully the waiter came over at this moment, setting down a cup of mocha coffee.

Yan Shunhua held the spoon, stirring gently in the coffee to calm her stirred emotions.

She then said in a soothing tone, “I heard from my team that the journalism students from Nancheng University had been collecting information here recently, is it about your school?”

“Yes,” Su Wanwan answered without concealing anything, “It was raining today, so we didn’t go out to shoot.”

“What a coincidence. I was also a journalism student at Nancheng University previously. Then I lived in the UK for over a decade, then moved to the United States, and this year, I plan to return to China. I’m planning a new movie and need to find a location, so I came here.”

So, that’s it.

Su Wanwan nodded.

Zhao Qianqian had mentioned something about a Hollywood film crew, could it be the crew led by Yan Shunhua?

Looks like she was indeed a highly accomplished woman.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a message from Zhao Qianqian, asking where she was.

She put down her phone, “Ms Yan, since you’re fine, I’ll go find my classmates.”

“Wait a moment.” Yan Shunhua stopped her again, “You don’t have to be so formal. I call you Wanwan, you can call me…”

She thought for a moment, then said, “Call me Auntie Yan.”

Auntie Yan?

Su Wanwan blurted out, “But you’re only about ten years older than me, right?”

Yan Shunhua couldn’t help but laugh, “Who says? I’m actually forty-two this year.”

Su Wanwan was once again deeply shocked.

Wow, she’s forty-two?

So… he’s as old as Su Yuntang?

But he really doesn’t look forty-two at all, his facial skin is tight, with no wrinkles, and his body is extremely well-maintained.

No wonder he drinks his coffee without sugar…

Yan Shunhua starts speaking again, “I don’t have many friends in my country. Meeting you here is a kind of kismet.”

Immediately after, he adds, “Please rest assured, I’m not a bad person. Just as it turns out, we’re alumni. I feel we have a strong karmic connection and I’m keen on communicating and interacting more with young people like yourself. Particularly with respect to the domestic film market, I might need your help in the future. So, Wanwan, would you mind if I add you on WeChat?”

“Sure, I don’t mind.”

I really wonder if this so-called fate truly exists.

For some reason, Su Wanwan feels an inexplicable affinity towards this Yan Shunhua.

It could be because she’s a senior, an elder, and also a Hollywood director.

Convincing herself, Su Wanwan takes out her phone, and they quickly add each other on WeChat.

“I will be on the island for the next few days. If you need anything, you can directly find me on WeChat or call me.” Yan Shunhua says.

All Su Wanwan can do is say thanks, “Thank you, Auntie Yan.”

However…

She probably won’t need anything, right?

…

After Su Wanwan leaves, Yan Shunhua stays there, elegantly sipping her coffee.

About twenty minutes later, she checks the time and calls a number on her phone.

The call is quickly connected, and a deep, calm male voice comes through.

“Have you seen her?”

“Yes.”

There’s a hint of excitement in Yan Shunhua’s voice. “We had a chat, and also added each other on WeChat. I also told her that I will be developing my career in our country in the future.”

“Take it slow, start off as friends.”

“I know.” Yan Shunhua takes a deep breath, “Ashen, thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome, it’s something I should do.” The man’s voice is as calm as ever.

Yan Shunhua says, smiling, “I’ll be on the island for the next few days. Once she leaves, I’ll head back to the States.”

“Okay.”

After briefly chatting for a bit, she hangs up the phone and gets up to leave.

**

In the restaurant, Zhao Qianqian stands up and waves, “Wanwan, over here, over here.”

When Su Wanwan makes her way over, she immediately looks like she’s about to interrogate her. “Tell me! Where did you disappear off to? Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Well you better hurry, I’m waiting for you. After the rain slows down this afternoon, Liu Yu and some of us are planning to go browse around nearby. Do you want to come with us?”

“Sure.”

At this moment, Di Chenghe shows up with a plate of food. “Is this seat taken?”

“No, no. Have a seat, Professor Di.”

The appearance of this male god sends Zhao Qianqian into a frenzy as she quickly tidies up the table.

By the time Su Wanwan comes back with her food, the two of them are already engrossed in conversation.

She eats her food slowly, only speaking up during their conversation lulls to ask, “Professor Di, have you ever heard of a female director named Yan Shunhua?”

Di Chenghe looks at her, his thick eyebrows furrowing slightly. “Why? Interested in the film industry now?”

Su Wanwan replies, “I’m just curious.”

Di Chenghe nods, “All I know is that she’s David Aidison’s only female protégé. She’s made a few documentaries in the past which received very good feedback. I’m not too familiar with the film industry, but if you’re interested you could look her up online.”

Su Wanwan nods, “I heard she’s an alumna of our Journalism Department.”

“Really?” Di Chenghe laughs, “I never noticed.”

Su Wanwan doesn’t dwell on it.

This woman is just too far removed from her world, and she’s not a very proactive person.

Thus for the next few days, she doesn’t meet Yan Shunhua again, and because the weather clears up, the sightseeing activities resume.

Su Wanwan is responsible for coordinating the work within the group. This essentially means that she has to oversee the work of the four people under her, especially the guy who is doing the filming.

After a full day of roughing it out, she’s exhausted by the time she gets back to the hotel and all she wants to do is sleep.

Which is why, when Huo Jingshen calls her every night, she barely has the energy to speak.

One time, she even fell asleep while talking…

Daily life is a repetition of this routine until the six days of sightseeing activities finally come to an end.

Everyone heaves a huge sigh of relief since the next day they’ll be going bamboo rafting. After having dinner, a lot of people are already hollering in the KT

V downstairs.

Su Wanwan, on the other hand, goes straight back to the hotel and takes a relaxing bath.

By the time she steps out of the bathroom, Huo Jingshen’s call has already come in as expected.

Dressed in her pajamas, Su Wanwan lies on the bed and answers the phone lazily, “Hello.”

“Baby, you’ll be coming back the day after tomorrow, right?”

“Yes.”

“Are you still very tired today?”

“Yes.”

“Does your stomach hurt?”

This time, she doesn’t simply answer “yes”. Instead, Su Wanwan says, “No, it doesn’t.”

“Has your period not come yet?”

Su Wanwan pauses for a moment, “No, it hasn’t.”

“Looks like it’s been delayed.”

After Huo Jingshen says this, he begins nagging, “Take care to keep your abdomen warm these next few days. Don’t engage in vigorous activities. If necessary, skip the rafting tomorrow. If you fall in the water and get cold, it’s bad for your health.”

“It hasn’t even started yet, why are you so worried?” Su Wanwan responds nonchalantly.

She has worked hard for six days, and finally on the last day she gets to play. He actually wants her to give it up?

Huo Jingshen says, “I’m only looking out for you and for our future child.”

Su Wanwan: “…..”

What the hell?

What child is he talking about?

She coughs a couple of times and says, “Alright, I’m almost dead on my feet. I’m going to bed!”

But Huo Jingshen suddenly asks, “Have you encountered anything fun these past few days apart from the shoot?”

Fun things?

Su Wanwan thinks for a moment, “No, not really.”

Huo Jingshen: “…”

The room door is pushed open. It’s Zhao Qianqian returning.

Su Wanwan quickly says, “Alright, my roommate is back. I’m getting ready for bed.”

Who would’ve thought, Huo Jingshen would start his cheesy talk again, “Baby, have you missed your hubby these past few days?”

Zhao Qianqian is already looking over with a mischievous smirk.

Unconsciously, Su Wanwan blushes slightly under her gaze. She quickly hums an affirmative in response.

Then she quickly says, “Okay, I’m going to bed now.”
