I wanted to ask him why there was a fragrance on his clothes, but if I asked, he would laugh at me. We got divorced, so I didn’t have the right to ask him.
“Just say it. I feel weird if you don’t tell me. You’d better tell me. What’s going on?” Leon Hua’s frowned.
“Really?” Hearing this, I began to change my mind.
“Of course. What’s going on?”
“Did you change your cologne? You’re not wearing the one you used to wear. Who asked you to change?” I just asked him, without caring too much.
“I didn’t. I’ve been always wearing this one.” Leon looked even a little aggrieved.
“No way!” I got a little angry and I raised my voice.
“Why? I didn’t change it. If you don’t believe me, you can go home and check it. It’s the same brand! You’ve been moping around and this is the reason? Do you really care much about what kind of cologne I wear?”
“Then why do you have any other perfume on you? It’s clearly not the same as the original one!” I finally said what I wanted to say.
“What do you mean? Not the same as the original one?”
“Yes, it’s different!”
Leon suddenly laughed, “So you’ve always remembered my smell?”
“Of course not!” I immediately denied it.
“If you don’t remember it, then how do you know it has changed?” Leon started to get a little smug.
Once he got smug, he then wouldn’t explain anything. The question was not to make him feel good, but to tell the truth!
“You said you didn’t change the brand, so tell me. Where did the unusual scent come from? Did you get it from a girl?”
Since I asked, I wanted to be straightforward and I wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
“What do you think?” Leon asked me back, with some banter.
“I’m just asking. it’s none of my business. But this girl has a modest taste, not an expensive perfume.” I said indifferently, trying to be back to normal to hide my jealousy.
“You think too much. How can you say it’s from a girl? It’s the lavender sachet that Zhen has put in my closet. I’ve asked her to take it out, for I don’t like it either. You won’t smell it anymore.” He said.
I was now in great relief. Suddenly I regretted it, for it’s just a matter of scent. I overreacted.
“Now you don’t worry, right? Are you still angry?” He looked at me with curiosity.
“I’m just curious. Don’t think too much. I’m not that concerned about you.” I could only lie to hide the fact.
“Really? You changed your attitude immediately after knowing the fact. And you still say that you are not concerned about me? Everyone in Hai City knows you’re jealous. Do you know this?”
“I don’t. Why should I be jealous? Mr. Hua, I’m shocked by your narcissism.” I scoffed at him.
We kept talking in this way for a while. Leon today was in a good mood, so no matter how bad I said to him, he was patient. Therefore, I stopped arguing with him.
When we arrived at the entrance of the club, Leon said that Ying Hua was inside and told me to go in. I asked him why he didn’t go in and he said that Ying said that if I agreed, he could be in, but if I didn’t, then he couldn’t.
What Ying meant was that it’s a party for two women and it’s up to me to decide if Leon could participate or not.
“Then you can go back and thank you for picking me up. Leave the luggage in your car for now. I’ll pick it up later.” I waved goodbye to him.
“So, you’re really not going to let me in?” Leon looked frustrated.
“Yeah, what can you do when we are drinking? Go home, please. Good night.” I waved again.
“Well.” Leon responded reluctantly, “Don’t you think it’s a bit much for me to pick you up at night and be driven away when you arrived?”
I shrugged, “I don’t think so. It’s quite normal.”
He was furious and pointed at me, “Fine, you win. You have fun. I’m leaving now.”
“Okay, bye.” I waved my hand and walked inside.
Once inside the club, I hid behind the glass door to peep at Leon, who hadn’t left right away. He was pacing up and down. I could feel that he was reluctant to leave, but he had no choice. Seeing this, I was quite gloating.
When I found the room, Ying herself was already drinking. Seeing me come in, she looked behind me, “You didn’t ask Leon to come?”
“No. Didn’t you say that he should be kept out?”
Ying laughed, “I did, but I didn’t expect that you really didn’t let him come. He must be mad! You know what? He’s so happy to know that you’re coming back and he went to the high-speed rail station to wait for you two hours before your arrival. At that time, you hadn’t even gotten on the train from Yang City. Don’t you think he’s stupid?”
That’s something I didn’t expect. Leon told me that he had been waiting for me for half an hour, but it turned out it wasn’t actually half an hour, it was two and a half hours.
He waited for me for so long, but I told him to leave, which was too much. However, there was no way to call him back.
“Why did you suddenly ask me for a drink today? Do you have some good things to share with me?” Ying asked me.
I laughed, “Of course not. It’s a blessing if I don’t encounter any bad luck. It’s the weekend and I want to have a drink with you. I’m a bit tired these days and I simply want a drink.”
“Nala Yao, how are you and Leon? Will you two remarry?”
A difficult question. I didn’t know how to answer it.
“You two are obviously not over. Since you still have some feelings for each other, why not be together? Stop torture each other.”
I raised my glass to clinked with her, “Ying, you and Mu Chen are like us, so why not you two be together?”
“Nala, it’s about you and Leon, so don’t get me in. we are not the same. Let’s talk back.” Ying raised her voice.
“Then let’s say nothing and let me show you something.” I took the picture of Nan Su and Nan Lin from my bag and handed it to her.
“Is this a picture of you and Nan Lin? Did you guys know each other when you were young?” Ying was also shocked.
“Ying, look carefully. Is the person in the picture really me?”
She took a closer look, “Yes, it’s you. I’m not near-sighted, so I can’t be wrong.”
