Love and choices across time and space

A few days after the charity event, Lin Wan'er found a new contact named Su Ran in her phone. However, she did not take the initiative to contact him, even though the encounter left a good impression on her.

Lin Wan'er sat in the garden of her villa, the sun shining down on her, yet it couldn't dispel the gloom within her. She wore a simple white dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the breeze. Her long hair fell carelessly over her shoulders, a few strands lifted by the breeze. Her eyes held a hint of hesitation and caution, and she held a cup of warm coffee in her hand, but she remained silent for a long time.

"Miss, you look very worried." The maid beside her said softly.

Lin Wan'er sighed softly, "I just remembered some things from the past."

"Mr. Su looks very nice. Miss, you might as well try to get in touch with him more often." The maid suggested cautiously.

Lin Wan'er frowned slightly, "I've already been hurt emotionally once, so I don't dare to take this step again easily."

Meanwhile, Su Ran was also worried about how to further connect with Lin Wan'er. He sat in his office, gazing out the window at the bustling cityscape, his mind confined only to Lin Wan'er. He wore a dark blue suit and a sophisticated tie, exuding an elite demeanor. But at this moment, a trace of melancholy lingered on his face.

"Lin Wan'er, what on earth is she thinking?" Su Ran muttered to herself.

Finally, Su Ran decided to take the initiative. He sent a text message to Lin Wan'er, inviting her to go to an art exhibition together.

When Lin Wan'er received the text, she felt a conflicted feeling. She wanted to go, but she was afraid of getting hurt again. After much hesitation, she replied to Su Ran, saying she would consider it.

After receiving the reply, Su Ran was filled with anticipation.

Lin Wan'er paced back and forth in her room, a fierce internal struggle brewing. "Should I go? Will he end up like Li Yifeng?" she muttered to herself.

Finally, Lin Wan'er decided to give herself a chance. She dressed up carefully, wearing a light blue cheongsam embroidered with delicate flowers, which set off her elegant temperament. She applied light makeup to make herself look even more beautiful.

When Lin Wan'er appeared at the exhibition, Su Ran's eyes lit up. He looked particularly handsome in a white shirt and black trousers.

"Wan'er, you're here." Su Ran greeted her with a smile.

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, "Yeah."

The two walked into the exhibition hall together, admiring the exquisite works of art. Su Ran occasionally explained the background and creative ideas of some works to Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er listened very carefully, but always kept a certain distance.

"Wan'er, what do you think of this painting?" Su Ran asked, pointing to an abstract painting.

Lin Wan'er looked at it carefully and said, "I don't quite understand it, but it feels very impactful."

Su Ran smiled and said, "Actually, this painting expresses the artist's desire for freedom."

Lin Wan'er nodded thoughtfully.

Throughout the entire process, Su Ran remained very gentlemanly and did not make any excessive moves. However, Lin Wan'er still did not dare to completely let down her guard.

After the exhibition, Su Ran suggested that they go for a cup of coffee together. Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

In the cafe, the two sat opposite each other.

"Wan'er, I know you may be a little cautious about new relationships. I am willing to give you time to get to know me slowly." Su Ran said sincerely.

Lin Wan'er raised her head and looked into Su Ran's eyes. "Su Ran, I'm really afraid of being hurt again."

Su Ran held Lin Wan'er's hand and said, "Wan'er, believe me, I won't let you get hurt."

Lin Wan'er gently withdrew her hand and said, "Let me think about it."

In the days that followed, Su Ran would still contact Lin Wan'er from time to time, but he would not put too much pressure on her. Lin Wan'er also gradually discovered that Su Ran was a person of great substance and cultivation.

Once, Lin Wan'er encountered a sudden heavy rain while shopping. She was trapped at the door of a store and was at a loss when Su Ran appeared.

"Wan'er, I'm here to pick you up." Su Ran was holding an umbrella, and her clothes were a little wet from the rain.

Lin Wan'er was touched.

On the way to send Lin Wan'er home, Su Ran carefully held an umbrella for her, but half of his body was exposed to the rain.

"Su Ran, you should be careful too." Lin Wan'er said.

Su Ran smiled and said, "I'm fine, as long as you don't get wet."

After arriving home, Lin Wan'er invited Su Ran to come in and sit down.

"Thank you for picking me up today." Lin Wan'er said.

Su Ran smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

Lin Wan'er poured Su Ran a cup of hot tea. The two sat in the living room, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

"Wan'er, actually I've been wondering if I'm too anxious and making you feel pressured." Su Ran said.

Lin Wan'er shook her head. "It's not your problem. I'm not ready yet."

Su Ran nodded, "I understand, I will wait for you."

As time went by, Lin Wan'er gradually let down her guard against Su Ran. She began to take the initiative to invite Su Ran to dinner and movies.

At a dinner, Lin Wan'er looked particularly charming in a pink evening dress.

"Su Ran, thank you for your company during this time." Lin Wan'er said.

Su Ran looked at her with a smile, "Wan'er, it's my honor to be with you."

A blush appeared on Lin Wan'er's face.

However, just as Lin Wan'er gradually opened her heart, an accident happened.

One day, Lin Wan'er received an anonymous letter, saying that Su Ran approached her for a purpose. Lin Wan'er's heart was once again filled with suspicion and uneasiness.

She found Su Ran with the letter in her hand, her face pale.

"What's going on?" Lin Wan'er asked.

When Su Ran saw the letter, he was also surprised and confused.

"Wan'er, I don't know who wrote this, but my feelings for you are real." Su Ran explained anxiously.

Lin Wan'er's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Should I believe you?"

Su Ran held Lin Wan'er's hand tightly, "Wan'er, believe me, I will get to the bottom of this matter."

Lin Wan'er broke free from Su Ran's hand, turned around and ran away.

Su Ran fell into deep distress. He decided to find out the mastermind behind the incident and prove his innocence.

After some investigation, Su Ran discovered that the anonymous letter was written by one of his competitors in order to destroy his image.

Su Ran found Lin Wan'er with the evidence and said, "Wan'er, look, this is the truth."

Lin Wan'er looked at the evidence, her heart filled with guilt.

"Su Ran, I'm sorry, I should have believed you." Lin Wan'er said.

Su Ran hugged Lin Wan'er in his arms and said, "It's okay, as long as you can trust me."

From then on, Lin Wan'er completely let down her guard and began to truly accept Su Ran.

On a starry night, Su Ran brought Lin Wan'er to the beach.

"Wan'er, I want to tell you that I love you and want to spend my life with you." Su Ran said affectionately.

Lin Wan'er was so moved that she burst into tears, "I love you, too."
