After Becoming a Mom, I Turned into a Dark Magical Girl

196. It’s All Over

“Finally off work!”

At nine o’clock in the evening, the off-duty Wen Han lazily left the Light Magic Society.

“I’m not suited for being a Light Mage after all. I still miss the carefree and mischievous life I had at the Recycling Station.”

She couldn’t help but sigh as she walked down the street in a wool coat and red high heels, like an elf of the night.

Many boys on the street involuntarily turned their heads towards her. Wen Han was already used to these glances and approaches.

On her way to the subway station, she suddenly stopped as she noticed something out of the corner of her eye.

“Hmm? Isn’t that Uncle Su’s car?”

Under dim lights, a familiar car was parked outside a restaurant.

Wen Han rolled her eyes and silently approached, peering through the large windows from where the car was parked.

Inside the bustling restaurant, Su Zeheng was talking with a pretty girl who looked to be in her twenties.

“Hmm?” Wen Han frowned instantly, “A woman?”

Is he dating?!

“…Impossible.” But she immediately dismissed it, “He’s only been in Star River City for a few days. And he doesn’t have much time anyway. How could he already be dating?”

If it isn’t dating, then what is this?

The atmosphere between them clearly wasn’t that of relatives or friends, but there was a hint of ambiguity and awkwardness.

The girl kept smiling, her face slightly flushed.

Wen Han narrowed her eyes, “Could it be a blind date?”

Su Zeheng is twenty-eight years old; his family must be urging him.

After finally returning to Star River City, so…

“I see.” She nodded her head, “Could it be that he truly no longer cares about me?”

I’m right here, but he still chose to go on a blind date without telling anyone.

Is he preparing to get married?

Her expression changed slightly, her brows furrowed as she thought deeply.

“Wen Han?” A voice came from the doorway, startling her.

Wen Han immediately looked up and saw Su Zeheng walking out with the woman, looking at her with confusion, “What are you doing here?”

“Who’s this…?” The girl beside her asked with puzzlement.

“Nothing.” Su Zeheng smiled slightly, “Just a colleague, one of my subordinates.”

“Oh!” The girl understood, “Right! The movie is about to start, we should…”

“Alright, let’s get in the car.”

Su Zeheng and the girl turned to leave without even a goodbye.

Wen Han watched them go, seeing the girl sit in the passenger seat she knew well. They chatted and laughed, disappearing from her sight.

In that instant, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

She scoffed, “Hmph! Do you think I care?… Forget it, since you don’t care anymore, let’s just pretend nothing happened.”

Originally, she wanted to stir up Su Zeheng’s feelings and awaken his love for her, so she could relax at work and do as she pleased.

But this guy has already started a new relationship?

Tch… That’s normal, nothing to worry about.

With a cold demeanor, Wen Han turned to leave but found someone standing behind her.

“Hey.” Wearing a black hoodie, a familiar face appeared, “Long time no see, my little witch.”

Under the neon lights, the tall figure smiled.

“Xiao Lin?” Wen Han sized him up, then composed herself, “Why? You want to kill me?”

“The Recycling Station doesn’t do illegal things. I believe you know that too.”

“So why are you here?” Wen Han chuckled, “Xiao Lin, do you miss me?”

Lin Wu Ju nodded, “Yes, I miss the times we spent together in the Recycling Station.”

He stood beside Wen Han, looking in the direction Su Zeheng had gone.

“Mr. Su seems to have changed a lot. Remember how he used to… really like you? But now, it looks like he’s forgotten about you.” He laughed suddenly, then turned around, “That’s life. Time washes away everything, and those hard-to-forget people eventually become mere casual mentions.”

“So?”

Wen Han instantly understood his purpose.

“Xiao Lin, are you using the same methods you used against Su Zeheng on me? Hehehe…”

Lin Wu Ju immediately shook his head, “I don’t intend to deal with you. I’m just reflecting on how times change. You’ve become part of the Light Magic Society, and Su Zeheng has his own new life.”

“Just as you said, that’s normal, isn’t it?” Wen Han remained calm, “His life doesn’t need me, and mine doesn’t need him. We each live our own lives, that’s all in the past.”

“It’s good that you can think that way.”

Sighing, Lin Wu Ju looked at the sky.

“But I hope my life still has your presence.”

Wen Han pretended to be surprised, “Is this a confession?”

“You could say so,” Lin Wu Ju smiled, “As long as you’re willing to come back, the Recycling Station’s doors will always be open for you.”

“And settle old and new scores?” Wen Han sneered, “I’m safe at the Light Magic Society, aren’t I? If you dare touch me… it’s uncertain who would die first.”

They stared at each other.

After a moment, Lin Wu Ju laughed again, “You’re still so smart. But you misunderstood my meaning.”

“I think we’ve talked enough.”

Although Wen Han really wanted to return to the Recycling Station, she would never do it.

Once she went back, she wouldn’t have the Light Magic Society as a backing, and the Recycling Station could do whatever they wanted to her.

She would never put herself in a dangerous situation.

“Until next time.” Patting Lin Wu Ju’s shoulder, Wen Han brushed past him, “Next time we meet, we’ll be enemies.”

Bam!

Lin Wu Ju moved aside, letting her pass.

He stood silently, not showing any emotion until the sound of her heels faded away.

“Do you really think you can escape?”

…

Rumbling…

The subway sped quickly.

There weren’t many people left on the last few trains.

“Mommy.” Sitting in her mother’s lap, Little Yuan raised her head, “When will we have our own car?”

“A car?” Wen Han laughed in puzzlement, “Why do you suddenly want a car?”

“Daddy.” Little Yuan blinked, “I saw Daddy come back that day. He used to pick us up!”

Her expression changed slightly, Wen Han sneered, “He’s not your daddy, Xiao Yuan.”

“Oh! It’s Uncle Su.” Xiao Yuan nodded, “Mommy, did Uncle Su not want us anymore?”

“It’s not that he doesn’t want us, it’s that we don’t want him.”

“Why?”

“I…”

For some reason, Wen Han, usually quick-witted, found herself speechless.

After a while, she smiled faintly, “Because Mommy has found you a better uncle. How about asking him to pick us up next time?”

“Okay!” Xiao Yuan immediately forgot about Su Zeheng, “Mommy, I want…”

In the subway, the little one kept talking nonstop.

Wen Han held her daughter, leaning against the subway seat.

Perhaps because she was tired from working until nine, she felt her mind blank.

But occasionally, the scene of Su Zeheng laughing with the matchmaker flashed by, causing annoyance.

“Is this your plan?”

…

Happy National Day
