Ke Jingchen returned home, looking at the empty room, his heart aching intensely. He flipped through the wedding photos of the two of them over and over again, gradually being consumed by memories. In every picture, Jiang Wan smiled sweetly.
But his pursuit of her was merely because her name was Jiang Wan, even though it was pronounced the same but written differently. His proposal was just a way to provoke Jiang Wan; there was no element of love involved. Even the wedding was intentionally held abroad, with only family members from both sides as witnesses.
Yet, she knew none of this; she simply felt she had found happiness. Unbeknownst to him, at some point, the balance in Ke Jingchen's heart began to tip. The hangover soup handed to him when he was drunk, the stomach-soothing porridge he had for breakfast—under Jiang Wan's daily care, he gradually fell deeper.
He became increasingly dependent on her, seemingly forgetting about Wan Wan. Until Jiang Wan divorced and returned home, he constantly reminded himself not to cross boundaries, not to betray Wan Wan. But he couldn't help but draw closer to Jiang Wan time and again, allowing her whims and provocations to slide.
He knew she was a considerate person, so he always held onto a glimmer of hope that she wouldn’t blame him. However, he underestimated her pride; from that day on, she disappeared without a trace. Ultimately, he signed the divorce agreement and gave Wan Wan a substantial amount of money. She said she hoped they would never meet again in this lifetime.
Thus, he entrusted everything to his lawyer. One night after Wan Wan moved out of the the Ke Family home, Ke Jingchen went to a bar alone to drown his sorrows and unexpectedly encountered Jiang Wan. He didn't know how much she had drunk; she was completely limp, sprawled over the table. He approached her and lifted Jiang Wan up, preparing to take her home.
As they neared her house, Jiang Wan slumped in the passenger seat, drunkenly murmuring, "A Chen... I'm sorry. Back then, I just wanted to have some fun and swapped out Uncle's eye drops..."
Ke Jingchen felt as if he had been dealt a heavy slap, his eyes widening in disbelief. He never expected that his father's death held such hidden truths. Even more shocking was the realization that the person he had loved for so many years was, in fact, his father's murderer.
Initially, he planned to gather evidence discreetly and pursue legal action openly. However, he never anticipated that Jiang Wan would direct her anger towards Wan Wan, leading to the tragic death of their child.
Unable to swallow this bitter pill, Ke Jingchen resorted to some underhanded tactics, ensuring that Jiang Wan met a similar fate in a traffic accident.
One year later, he found himself longing for Wan Wan, even if it was just to secretly check on how she was doing. After some inquiries, he discovered she was in a neighboring city, just a three-hour drive away.
He drove alone to her city. Outside the hospital, he spotted a handsome man gazing tenderly at the entrance, seemingly waiting for someone.
In the next moment, a familiar figure flashed by. It was his beloved Wan Wan! But before he could feel joy, he saw her naturally link arms with the man beside her. With a pained expression, she asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
The man turned his head, looking at her with adoration. "No, I just arrived."
The sunlight bathed their faces warmly, casting a sweet glow around them.
Ke Jingchen felt a sharp pain at this scene but could do nothing but watch helplessly as they interacted.
It seemed Jiang Wan sensed something amiss; her gaze suddenly swept over in his direction. He quickly pulled up his collar and ducked into a corner.
The man asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Wan shook her head lightly, her tone casual. "Nothing, just felt like someone was watching us."
The man reached out to pat her head gently. "How about some ice cream?"
"I want two," Jiang Wan said playfully, looking quite cheerful.
The two of them walked further and further away, eventually disappearing completely from Ke Jingchen's sight.
