Little Wu Yuexue sighed. "Not many people knew… My dad said that after they found her, she stopped talking to anyone. President Fan and his wife both took a few months off from work in order to stay by her side."
"When did she start talking again?"
"Since our age is quite close to each other, Madam President Fan thought that it would be good for Wushuang to have a friend that she can talk to; so my dad brought me there to visit her. But when I was there, she barely even looked at me. She just hid under the bed despite her parents' attempts to coax her out…
"Then one day, when I went to visit her, I brought a doll with me so that I could have something to play with while she ignored me. The doll was really pretty and its eyes would move. Madam President Fan was playing house with me, and I think Wushuang got attracted by the movement of the eyes."
Little Wu Yuexue smiled as she looked at Little Han Ye. "When my dad saw that she was responding to the doll, he told me to give it to her. I didn't want to give it to her at first. It was my favorite doll after all… I thought she would cry and throw tantrums when I said no, but she didn't. Instead, she merely ran to her mother and hugged her. She had this sad expression on her face and she looked so adorable that I couldn't help it… So, in the end, I gave her the doll…"
"She started talking after that?" Little Han Ye asked out of curiosity.
Little Wu Yuexue shook her head. "No… But she started talking a few days after. Even after she was discharged, she kept asking for me, so my dad would often drop me off at her house before he went off to work. Since then, she has always been with me."
Little Han Ye did not say anything. He was thinking about how scared Little Fan Wushuang was. Little Han Ye did not have many memories of the time before he was five, but he knew that if it were him, he would be really scared as well.
"Han Ye…" Little Wu Yuexue said softly as she looked at Little Han Ye.
"Yeah?"
She said with a serious tone, "Wushuang is not a bad kid… She's just a little kid, so I hope you won't take her actions to heart."
Looking at how eager his little crush was when she asked him for this favor, Little Han Ye could not do anything but sigh. In the end, he nodded and said, "I'll try to be more patient with her…"
….
Han Ye sighed as he finished his glass of wine. Ever since the little girl disappeared, Wu Yuexue and he had always kept a lookout for someone who might be their friend, Wushuang. Even after they moved to Imperial City, even after Fan Family declared that she had passed away after 7 years of her disappearance, they had never stopped looking.
Up until Wu Yuexue's accident...
After that, Han Ye no longer had the heart or the mood to do anything else other than working and taking revenge against the man who caused Wu Yuexue's accident. And once that was done, he just buried his pain with his work.
"Waiter…" Han Ye signaled the waiter to fill his glass with wine again. Just as the waiter was refilling his glass, he saw a beautiful woman walking toward him. Not only him, but a lot of men and women were also looking at her.
She was wearing a pink dress that reached a few inches above her knees. The dress came with sleeves up until her wrists, and there were slits from the side of her arms to the side of her wrists, which showed off her fair skin when she moved her hands.
Her long, straight black hair moved slightly while she moved. She was also wearing a pair of black stilettos, and Han Ye had to say that she pulled it off quite well.
As she got closer and closer, Han Ye could not help but stare at her as he muttered under his breath, "Yuexue?"
He then shook his head. Even though there was a resemblance between them, Han Ye knew that it would be impossible. It was her aura that caused him to think about Wu Yuexue unconsciously.
When she stopped at her table, Han Ye finally recognized her. She was his date for tonight. He recognized her from the photo that Lu Ziyan sent him previously, and he immediately stood up. "Ms. Zhang?"
"Just call me Angela," the woman said with a gentle smile as she shook his hand. After she sat down, she apologized, "I'm sorry for my tardiness. There was an accident and it caused a pile-up. My driver had to take another route."
"No worries…" Han Ye smiled. "It's better to arrive safely..."
When the woman smiled back, Han Ye could feel a light fluttery feeling in his stomach. "She's pretty…" Han Ye thought.
When Lu ZiYan sent him her photo, Han Ye merely thought that she looked alright. But seeing her in person, it was obvious to him that she was the type that looked better in person than in pictures.
Even in terms of style, she also looked very different. In the photos of her, she was always wearing something sexy and had full make-up on. If it was not because of Lu ZiYan, Han Ye would never ask her out.
However, today, she was wearing something that was more subtle and more girly. Even her make-up was barely noticeable. In fact, she looked like a modern-day princess.
Noticing that Han Ye was staring at her, the woman elegantly tucked her long, straight black hair behind her ear.
The woman's gentle smile and elegant posture and movements... Everything reminded him of his late wife, and Han Ye could not help but smile sincerely at her.
"Are you hungry? Should we order now?" Han Ye asked politely.
"Yes, please."
