Wen Renlan paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became gentle.
"Lan Luo, you are lying to me."
"How could you like Huai Jing?"
"The one you love the most is me!"
"Have you forgotten? For the past five years, it has been you who has been by my side."
I sighed softly, " Wen Renlan, I'll say it again, I am serious about Huai Jing."
"We have already missed ten years; I don't want to waste another ten."
Wen Renlan paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly turned sharp.
"Lan Luo, you are not allowed to get married!"
"If you do, I will hate you!"
I sighed helplessly, " Wen Renlan, stop making a scene."
"If you keep this up, Huai Jing will be unhappy."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
When I came out of the changing room, Huai Jing was waiting for me outside.
When she saw me come out, she suddenly jumped into my arms.
She held me tightly and whispered, "Lan Luo, thank you for loving me."
I held her and softly replied, "I should be the one thanking you."
It was expected that Wen Renlan would act this way.
She has been a spoiled young lady since childhood, getting whatever she wanted.
My sudden marriage was a blow to her.
But it's okay.
As time passes, she will surely let go of her resentment and look forward.
Late at night, Wen Renlan called again.
She must have been drinking.
Her voice was filled with anger and resentment.
"Lan Luo, do you see me as a substitute?"
"The person you said you loved for ten years, is it me?"
"Say something, Lan Luo!"
"What exactly do you take me for?"
I held the phone and remained silent.
Wen Renlan's voice grew more agitated as she continued to question me.
"Lan Luo, say something!"
"Have you gone mute?"
I held the phone in silence for a long time before finally speaking.
" Wen Renlan, what do you think?"
"Do you think I see you as a substitute?"
Wen Renlan paused for a moment, her voice suddenly choked with emotion.
"I don't know... I really don't know..."
"I saw your social media."
"She posted a photo."
"Lan Luo, you don't understand, I never really looked closely at her photos before."
"But just now, I took a good look."
"I realized that we really look alike."
"To the point where I doubt if I'm just a substitute."
"Lan Luo, tell me, am I a substitute?"
"In these five years, have you ever loved me even for a moment?"
I held my phone and closed my eyes.
Wen Renlan's voice grew more agitated as she choked out her questions.
"Lan Luo, say something!"
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes!"
"Lan Luo, do you know that treating me like this makes me very sad?"
"I've been so good to you; how could you treat me like this?"
"How could you treat me as a substitute?"
...
I held the phone, remaining silent.
Wen Renlan's voice grew increasingly distressed as she cried and asked me.
"Lan Luo, why aren't you speaking?"
"Say something!"
I held the phone and softly said, "Wen Renlan, it was you who treated me as a substitute."
"In your eyes, I am Zuo Qiucong's substitute."
"In your heart, you are Huai Jing's substitute."
"But neither Zuo Qiucong nor Huai Jing is a substitute."
"Wen Renlan, do you understand what I mean?"
Wen Renlan was stunned, and she blankly said, "Lan Luo, what are you talking about?"
"Wen Renlan, think about it carefully."
"I'm going to sleep now. Good night."
I hung up the phone.
