Huai Jing looked at me with a helpless expression and said, "It seems your ex is quite popular."
I nodded, "Yeah."
Wen Renlan is indeed very popular.
She is beautiful, cheerful, hardworking, and has a great figure.
The line of people pursuing her could stretch from the south of the city to the north.
I was with her for five years and turned away quite a few admirers.
Huai Jing said, "Fortunately, you didn't mess up at a critical moment."
There was a hint of joking in her tone when she said this.
I shook my head, "No way."
" Wen Renlan is so popular. Are you jealous?" she asked me again.
I smiled, "Not jealous."
Because Wen Renlan appeared in my life when I was at my lowest point.
She gave me my last glimmer of hope.
It also gave me my final pain.
I am grateful to her.
But gratitude is not love.
I think I may have never loved her.
I just regarded her as a benefactor who gave me a glimmer of hope during my most difficult times.

Wen Renlan called me.
Her voice was hoarse, filled with anger.
"Lan Luo, you are a liar!"
Her voice carried anger, along with a hint of barely perceptible grievance.
I had become accustomed to her mood swings.
I instinctively apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
For the past five years, I have apologized to Wen Renlan countless times.
When she mentioned breaking up, I apologized.
When she went out to dinner with Zuo Qiucong, I apologized.
When she called me drunk, I apologized.
She has become accustomed to my submissive demeanor in front of her.
But this time, I was not at fault.
What I was wrong about was thinking that I would always remain this submissive.
What I was wrong about was believing that as long as I treated her well, she would eventually come back to me.
Wen Renlan heard my apology and sounded a bit impatient: "You've been wrong for five years, and it's always the same few lines. Isn't it annoying?"
"I ask you, what exactly is going on between you and Huai Jing? Didn't you say she was your aunt's child?"
I explained, "She is my aunt's adopted child and also my fiancée."
Wen Renlan paused for a moment, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "Have you two slept together?"
I fell silent for a moment.
Wen Renlan sneered, "Looks like you went to bed with someone."
"Lan Luo, you really make me feel sick."
"In these five years, you've touched me countless times, and now you actually take the opportunity to sleep with another woman while I'm not around!"
"I warn you, you can only be mine!"
"Even though I've come to America, even though I'm already with Zuo Qiucong, you still can't be with another woman!"
Wen Renlan's possessiveness is strong.
She believes that I should belong to her.
Even if she doesn't want me, I shouldn't be with another woman.
I can only wait for her.
That's how I've been for the past five years.
That's why she's so angry.
I lowered my voice and reasoned with her, " Wen Renlan, I am with Huai Jing not to get back at you."
"We are together simply because we think each other is important."
Wen Renlan was not listening at all.
She said, "Lan Luo, I will give you one last chance."
"If you break up with Huai Jing now, I can pretend nothing ever happened."
I patiently explained, " Wen Renlan, there is no way Huai Jing and I will break up."
"We have already missed ten years; I don't want to miss the next ten years."
Wen Renlan fell silent.
Her breathing was rapid, and she didn't speak for a long while.
Just when I thought she wouldn't say anything, she softly said, "Do as you wish."
Then she hung up the phone.
