Wendy came back to her senses with a pale face. She slowly turned her head and looked blankly at
the familiar and strange picture. Her face was full of despair.
Three months. If she remembered correctly, it had been three months since the last time she met him.
He didn't seem to have changed much. He was still dressed in a suit, and his black eyes were calm
and cold. His every move would frighten people. It was suffocating.
He was still very handsome, cold and attractive, just like the moment she first saw him. His handsome
face was so attractive that people would stretch themselves and indulge in it at a glance. In fact, they
hadn't separated for more than three months, or more than one hundred days.
Wendy's face turned deathly pale and looked at Ben in astonishment. The latter looked calm from
beginning to end. He just stared at her quietly. His black eyes were a little cold, but there was a pain
deep in his eyes that no one could see.
"Why are you here?" After a long time, Wendy asked in a trembling voice.
At the banquet, Ben sat calmly in his seat. He seemed to have thought of what was happening now,
or...
Wendy's eyes widened, or he knew it was her from the beginning to the end, so he ignored her before
the ring was designed. And now she was sitting here on purpose, which was arranged by Ben.
Wendy's hands became cold in an instant. Hearing this, Ben curled his lips and stared at her little face
with his black eyes. He said lightly, "I didn't expect that either!"
Wendy calmly looked at him and said weakly, "Don't pretend. You did it on purpose, right? I admit that I
was too stupid to be cheated by you. "
Wendy's voice was a little cold. Even she was so excited that she deliberately suppressed her emotion.
Hearing that, Ben frowned. He looked at her pale face with complicated black eyes and said seriously,
"I really didn't know it was you, but I didn't expect that my guess was true."
Wendy still looked at him calmly and said in a trance, "When? "
When did he begin to doubt her and know it was her?
Ben said indifferently, "From the moment I received the ring!" Seeing that he didn't answer, Wendy's
eyes twinkled with shrewdness. He answered her question slowly, "There are two reasons that make
me doubt. I understand the design style of this ring. It's like your style, and... Your ten priceless
gemstones... I want to ask you, except for the gemstones your brother risked his life to collect before,
can you find another ten gemstones in the world? Or do you think you can find ten unique gemstones
in two days? "
With a pale face and dull eyes, Wendy looked at Ben and said with a bitter smile, "I was too careless.
The most important reason you suspect me is because of these ten gemstones!"
All of a sudden, Ben looked at Wendy nervously, fearing that she would misunderstand him. He
hurriedly said, "No, I thought of you when I first got the ring, although I'm not one hundred percent sure.
Do you remember? Red bean! "
Looking at him indifferently, Wendy's heart ached. She said coldly, "I forgot!"
Ben looked at her with disappointment. "Isn't it easy for you to know where I am? Haven't Howard told
you that he has a designer named Wendy? "
In fact, he asked this to test whether what Ben said was true or not. He really thought of her when he
saw the red beans and gemstones, or it was Howard who told him.
With a cold look in his eyes, he stared at Wendy and said coldly, "Don't interrupt me. By the way, do
you remember anything about red beans?"
Wendy stared at him coldly and replied, "I forgot!"
The disappointment on his face deepened. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said lightly, "It
wasn't Howard who told me. I found the answer from the ring. How dare you forget about the matter of
red beans? Have you forgotten that you just started planting red beans?"
Ben stared at her, with obvious pain on his face. Wendy stared at him coldly, without any reaction. Ben
felt as if thousands of arrows pierced through his heart. He said in a hoarse voice and began to recall
the past, "You planted the red beans. Then I tell you, the red beans placed in my office have yielded
fruits. Because the glass is too small, some of them are in a poor situation, and I don't want to pull out
any of them, so now a dozen of them have been squeezed in a glass cup. "
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Wendy said coldly.
Enduring the pain in her heart, Ben continued, "Because it was planted by you, I didn't want to pull it
out. Six years ago, the first red bean you planted, with the change of season, began to sprout, grow,
bloom, and then make a bean box. Then it matured, and the mature beans fell into the glass. Just like
this, one after another, now, more than ten red beans... It was autumn now... The red beans will fall
when they are ripe. "
Wendy still looked at him indifferently, but her heart was painful. In fact, she planted red beans for Ben
at the beginning. In the past, she really loved him very much and didn't want to separate with him for
even a second. Therefore, she planted red beans in a glass at autumn. She was just playing at that
time, but she didn't expect that red beans had grown. After a few days, it really grew, blossomed and
even had bean shells. The rest was what Ben said.
"Red beans grew up from the southern kingdom and sprout a few branches in spring. I hope you can
collect more. This is the most sentimental thing!" Ben said.
Wendy felt so heartbroken that she was about to suffocate, but she still looked at him coldly and said,
"Ben, I find you are really childish. It's just a red bean. You know that I was too serious at that time. It
was just for fun."
"Really?" Ben stared at Wendy.
Wendy turned her face and secretly forced her tears back. When she was sitting in her seat and didn't
know what to do, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. At the same time, his heart tensed up, hoping
that he would avoid answering her phone.
In fact, after taking a look at the caller ID, he really went out. After he turned around, Wendy stood up in
a hurry and fled.
She didn't leave immediately, because if she walked out of the door now, he would see her so that she
came to the bathroom first. When she reflected a pale face in the mirror, she was shocked by her own
appearance.
Her face, which had been in good condition, was now deathly pale. She looked extremely dispirited.
Tears fell down from her eyes involuntarily. Why was it him? Why did she meet him? She thought he
wouldn't find her because she hid herself very well, but...
Wendy smiled bitterly. Fate was really tricking. He was about to get married, but he still came to her.
Wendy leaned weakly against the wall of the bathroom. Her mind was in a mess. The sound of the
doorknob startled her. She wanted to lock the door subconsciously, but the door had been opened. She
looked at the person standing at the door in panic.
"You Get out... " Wendy said anxiously and pushed him away. This was the ladies' room. Was he
crazy?
However, Ben didn't leave. Instead, he stepped in and locked the door. He stared at her face and kept
stepping forward until her back was forced against the cold wall. Then she raised her desolate eyes to
look at him.
