    Chapter 114 Regret

    The snack bar at the entrance of the alley is still doing brisk business. The owner and his wife are very busy, and the smiles on their faces have never disappeared.

    Finally having a chance to take a breath, the chubby boss looked at the luxury car at the door and whispered to the landlady: “What do you think is wrong with that customer? He drives that kind of car, dresses like that, and comes to our place to eat every day? The key is that he can’t finish what he ordered!”

    The proprietress glanced at the tall, handsome man in a neat suit in the corner and shook her head: “Who knows? The richer people are these days, the more eccentric they are.”

    After saying this, she sent the prepared food to the guest: “Two large bowls of noodles, one pan-fried dish, one Tiaotou cake, and two cups of corn juice.”

    These things were ordered when Zuo Ning brought Yu Haonan here for dinner last time.For the past half month, Yu Haonan has been coming here every day and ordered exactly the same thing.

    After taking a sip of corn juice, he couldn’t help but turn on his phone.

    Zuo Ning’s latest Weibo was posted in October, with only one short sentence: The next novel is going to return to the historical genre. I want to write about the Warring States Period. Is anyone looking forward to it?

    He still remembers that when he went to work every day, she would check information and cook for him in the villa.

    One day when he just walked into the living room, she rushed up to hug him and kept coquettishly saying: “How about the male protagonist of my next novel be based on you? I want to write about a monarch during the Warring States Period, and I think you have that kingly aura. Of course, you can’t write when you are childish, as it will lower your impression score.”

    Then because of the word “childish”, he pressed her down on the sofa and punished her severely until she cried and begged for mercy.

    I just didn’t expect that even two months had not passed, and those happy days had become memories.

    The Tiaotou cake is obviously very sweet, but it is actually bitter in the mouth.Yu Haonan put down his chopsticks and opened WeChat again.

    Zuo Ning did not block him. He could still send messages to her. In fact, he sent messages every day, apologizing, explaining, and confessing over and over again, but he never got a reply.

    There is very little content in her circle of friends. The most recent one was originally sent to him that night, “Wash your hands and make soup for you,” but it was deleted by her long ago.

    “Did you know that if I persisted that day, she would definitely give up on you and be with me? I didn’t want to embarrass her, but I wanted her to be truly happy! She told me that her boyfriend was very nice to her, and I believed her, but what about you? Are you really nice to her?”

    This is what Fang Jinglun said after punching Yu Haonan in the hotel half a month ago and pulling him by the collar.

    Naturally, the six men parted on bad terms that day, but in the end they all continued to search for Zuo Ning in their own ways, but no one knew where she went.

    After leaving the snack bar, Yu Haonan rushed back to the company.There are many things that he needs to deal with, and he is willing to devote himself to his work. Only in this way, he will not be out of breath tormented by regret and longing all the time.

    In the evening, after having a business talk with someone on the top floor of a nearby shopping mall, he took the escalator downstairs alone, hoping to get some air to sober up.

    When he arrived at the men’s clothing area on the fifth floor, he looked up and saw a somewhat familiar jacket. He subconsciously rushed down the escalator and ran into the store.

    A woman with a “Store Manager” sign on her chest hurried over and said with a smile: “Sir, I’m sorry, this dress has been reserved by a customer. It seems that our staff was negligent and put it out. Can you look at other styles?”

    Yu Haonan still held on to his clothes, trying to recall the video call with Zuo Ning that day.

    If he remembers correctly, this is what Zuo Ning wants to buy for him.When he went back that night, he asked her why she didn’t buy it. She said it was out of stock, but she had already paid a deposit and made a reservation.

    Did she happen to come to this store in this shopping mall?Even she was the one who ordered this dress?He hurriedly pulled the tag and took a look. It was his size.

    “Who ordered this dress? Show me the record.”

    “Sorry, sir, this is the customer’s privacy.”

    “I’ll just look at it and never do anything else.”

    “Sir…”

    “Then I won’t read it. Please help me confirm whether the name is Zuo Ning.”

    Probably shocked by his unwillingness to give up, the store manager finally gave in and went to check the records. He looked at him with some confusion: “Sir, the name of the customer who ordered the order is indeed Zuo Ning. We called her after the goods arrived, but we never got through.”

    Yu Haonan held the clothes tightly in his hands and said after a long while: “I want this dress.”

    “Sorry, sir, Miss Zuo Ning has already paid the deposit. We can’t sell it unless we come to pick up the goods with her receipt.”

    Documents?Yu Haonan had no idea where Zuo Ning had put that thing. He wasn’t even sure if it was still in the villa. Where was he going to find it?

    “Zuo Ning is my girlfriend. She bought this dress for me. I lost the receipt. You can sell it to me for as much money as you want.”

    “Sorry, sir, this is not about money, it is about our credibility. Since Ms. Zuo Ning is your girlfriend, you can ask her to come with you to pick it up. It doesn’t matter if you lose the receipt. We have registered her information in detail. As long as she comes to show her ID card, she can get it.”

    Let Zuo Ning come in person?If he knew where she was, if he could see her, why would he be obsessed with such a piece of clothing?

    When he went out in despair, Yu Haonan heard another shopping guide in the store complain in a low voice: “It turned out that her girlfriend didn’t want him anymore, and then I remembered that she had bought clothes for him. This is a typical example of how to cherish after losing. Fortunately for being so handsome, he must be a scumbag!”

    Only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it.

    Yu Haonan couldn’t help but chuckle, that man was really good at scolding.

    In the evening, he was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the villa looking for receipts, and a call came in: “Chairman, there is a gentleman who is very persistent recently and insists on buying the villa on the bank of Lianhua Creek. Look…”

    “Didn’t I say I won’t sell it no matter how much anyone pays? Don’t bother me!”

    After hanging up the phone, Yu Haonan sat on the chair and took a long breath, but suddenly remembered Wen Kai’an’s words that night: If you really like her, then completely cut off the past and give her the most basic respect.

    Cut off the past…

    After a pause, he called back: “That villa…sell it.”

    “Yes, Chairman, I will do it right away. Mr. Gao happened to say that he can pay any amount. He is a big star and has plenty of money. I will definitely not lose money if I sell it to him.”

    “Celebrity? Your last name is Gao?”

    “Yes, I heard from Xiao Zhang that he is Gao Xia, who has had endorsement cooperation with our company.”

    “Why he?” Yu Haonan frowned and thought for a long time before adding, “Ask him out. I will talk to him personally about the villa.”

    Seeing the person walking into the box, Gao Xia was obviously stunned: “Why is it you?”

    “I bought that villa seven years ago.” Yu Haonan stared at Gao Xia, “Why did you insist on buying it? It’s just an old villa that has changed hands several times. I believe you won’t want to live in it. If it was for investment, the price you paid was too high, and it would have lost its meaning long ago.”

    “Seven years ago? Did you buy it?” Gao Xia looked suspicious, “Why did you buy it at that time? Is it related to Zuo Ning? You… have known each other so long?”

    Yu Haonan shuddered: “Does your purchase of a villa have something to do with Zuo Ning? Then she… that villa…”

    “It’s the place where she used to live with her adoptive parents. She has been working hard to save money over the years just to buy back the villa.”

    “It’s actually… she… how… how could it be she? Obviously… I’ve had someone check… why… Zuo Ning… it’s always been Zuo Ning…”

    Yu Haonan’s whole body fell to the ground, his face ashen.
