Chapter 8
Rainbow After the Rain
Zhao Wanru smiled. Suddenly, she didn't want to let Cai Lenghan off easily; she wanted to retaliate for the words that had hurt her earlier. So she cleared her throat and called out, pretending to be tired:
"Don't close the door, it's too stuffy."
[But aren't you afraid of thunder?]
Cai Lenghan thought to himself, and Zhao Wanru was extremely surprised to hear his inner voice. Only her parents and Wang Tianbi knew about her fear of thunder. How did Cai Lenghan know? It seemed her ex-husband—no, her newlywed husband—had done quite a bit of research on her.
While Zhao Wanru was lost in thought, Cai Lenghan quickly drew the window curtains, continuing to act cold and saying flatly:
"I have to go out to attend to the guests. Just sit here and leave when the rain stops."
Zhao Wanru nodded. This wedding banquet was held outdoors, so the heavy rain had caused quite a bit of trouble. However, based on her experience from her "past life," she knew the rain would stop soon. Even so, Zhao Wanru still couldn't calm down after such a sudden turn of events, and she didn't want to do anything inappropriate that would make everyone and Cai Lenghan suspicious, so she remained in the room, behaving just as she had in her "past life."
Cai Lenghan looked at Zhao Wanru for a moment and then left. Before disappearing from sight, he carefully closed the door for her. His inner voice echoed in Zhao Wanru's ears again:
[Wanru is indeed unhappy, I shouldn't be in the room right now. When Wanru is unhappy, she doesn't like anyone to see her gloomy state. Cai Lenghan, oh Cai Lenghan, yet you are the one who makes her unhappy the most. What a bastard!]
Zhao Wanru sat quietly on the chair, watching Cai Lenghan leave, watching him thoughtfully close the door, and hearing his dejected inner thoughts and soft sigh. Suddenly, she believed even more in the possibility that she had been "reborn." With her strong and cheerful nature, Zhao Wanru quickly accepted this absurd reality. Not only that, but she also saw this as a rare opportunity. At least this time, she wouldn't easily let Cai Lenghan throw a divorce agreement in her face like before. If there was to be a divorce, she would be the one to initiate it. Furthermore, Zhao Wanru wanted to find out who the girl Cai Lenghan secretly loved was, what his true purpose was in forcing her to marry him, and how the entire conspiracy to harm her father, Mr. Zhao Zhihai, and seize the Zhao family assets in her past life had been orchestrated.
The sound of rain gradually diminished and then stopped completely. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. A few golden rays of sunlight began to beam down, dancing on the curtains. Zhao Wanru walked over to draw the curtains and looked up at the sky. She remembered that on this day, after the rain stopped, a very large, clear, and beautiful rainbow had appeared.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Wanru looked up, she saw a magnificent seven-colored rainbow stretching across the clear sky. So beautiful! How bright and radiant! Zhao Wanru couldn't help but let out an exclamation of awe and smile happily.
