Chapter 286: Chase You Back

. So, if we seriously plan on having a child, it's best to talk to her openly and get her opinion."Fu Shenyi was stunned, the amount of information was a bit large, and he didn't react for a moment.Fo...Shu Tinglan wasn't protecting Yi Muyang. With Yi Muyang's personality, she wouldn't need protection. She was afraid they would investigate Yi Muyang and then follow the clues to discover the existence of the two children. That would be a real disaster for her.

Actually, Lin Zhixuan had advised her that paper cannot contain fire. In today's highly developed information society, Zhu Yuyan just didn't look into her life in the city. Otherwise, she would have known everything about her every minute and second.

She just hadn't figured out how to deal with it, a bit of an ostrich attitude, hoping to hide for a day. She also hoped that Zhu Yu'an would let go of the past and wouldn't fight her for the children.

Her stern warning intimidated Lu Kuo so much that he dared not speak another word.

To be honest, he and Zhuo Yu'an weren't from ordinary families. Even if they put on a humble act in front of Shu Tinglan, the pride in their bones was ingrained. In short, they were used to being superior and didn't look down on ordinary people.

It's just a boyfriend, nothing big deal. You can even get divorced after marriage, let alone just being boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe they'll break up in two days

On his way home, Lu Kuo consoled Zhuo Yu'an like this.

He didn't know what Zhu Yu'an was thinking. He hadn't spoken again since saying something at the restaurant. Lu Kuo continued,

"Tinglan is beautiful and outstanding, it's normal for many boys to pursue her. You shouldn't take it too seriously. You two loved each other so much, Tinglan must still have feelings for you." Lu Kuo said, not even believing his own words.

Zuo Yu'an suddenly said to the driver, Chen Ge:

"Stop the car."

Then Chen Ge parked the car by the roadside.

Zhuo Yu'an coldly ordered Chen Ge and Lu Kuò to get out of the car.

"What are you going to do" Chen Ge got out of the car, but Lu Kuo didn't.

"Get off."

Zhuo Yu'an drove himself to the driver's seat, urging Lu Kuo to get out quickly.

Lu Kuo had no choice but to get out of the car and stand with Chen Ge on the roadside, waiting for his own driver to bring his car over. Encountering a domineering friend like Zhuo Yu'an was truly unfortunate.

Zhuo Yu'an drove all the way to Shu Tinglan's house, his mind filled with her appearance when she was talking on video, that reassuring smile, how long had it been since he saw it

He sent her a WeChat message.

“Come down, I’m downstairs.”

Just like many years ago, he thought, his previous attempt to win her back gradually was a grave mistake. He didn't want the conflicts that happened, but looking back now, he realized they were unavoidable.

Shu Tinglan had finished her shower and was holding her laptop, writing materials. The phone on the bedside table rang, with a WeChat notification sound. She saw the familiar avatar and name, but she simply flipped the phone over without looking and continued writing.

The WeChat voice call requests kept coming, cutting off and then ringing again. The other party was very patient waiting for her to answer, bothering her so much that she couldn't focus on writing. She got a little angry and snatched up her phone to answer and yelled at them.

“Zhu Yu’an, are you done yet”

The other party remained silent for several seconds.

"Tinglan, it's me." It was Yi Muyang.

Hearing his voice, Shu Tinglan's heart soared and then plummeted. Her face flushed red and then white. Luckily it was just a voice call, not a video. She took several deep breaths before calming down.

"Sorry," she said, feeling guilty but not knowing how to explain the situation. She was unaware that Yi Muyang had met Zhuo Yu'an twice, once at the airport and once at Zhuo Yuan Technology.

"What happened" Yi Muyang asked.

"It's nothing, just had dinner with some old friends tonight. Things got a little heated during the conversation." I still wasn't brave enough to bring up my past marriage to him.

Fortunately, Yi Muyang was very understanding and didn't continue to ask. Remembering the purpose of this phone call,

"When is your court date I'll be there to cheer you on."

Shu Tinglan told him the specific time.

"If you're busy, there's no need to come over specially."

"Of course I'm coming, this is our Shu lawyer's shining moment, I have to record it." Yimu Yang joked.

Shu Tinglan felt some worry: "It's still unknown how the retrial will be judged. I'm a bit worried about disappointing Xu Mu's expectations." Although there are many things she can't control, Xu Mu and Xu Wei's hopes for their entire lives rest on her shoulders, the pressure is enormous.

"Tinglan, do your best in everything, and be content with an honest heart." This was his attitude towards life in recent years, just as he had abandoned Songsong's body at the source of the three rivers back then. That was a last resort.

"Well," he said, and then hung up after a while.

On the WeChat interface, there are two missed call requests from Zhuo Yu'an and two sentences.

I'm downstairs.

"Tinglan, let's talk."

Shu Tinglan stood by the window, seeing that Zhuo Yu'an's car lights were still on downstairs. He stood by the car and looked up. Perhaps he saw her figure by the window, so he sent another call request over.

He was always assertive, Shu Tinglan had no intention of hanging up, but this time she answered and remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

He didn't speak for a moment, only the sound of their breaths intertwined in the phone, both familiar and strange.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Tinglan, I'm sorry. I lied to you before. I don't want to be your friend, and I never intended to."

"Tinglan, I regret it. I want to chase you back again."

He stood beside the car downstairs, tilting his head slightly as he confessed to her. In the silent night, every word of his was hammering at Shu Tinglan's fragile nerves. She gasped for breath, as if she had heard some kind of joke from another century, and almost lost control, ready to unleash a torrent of insults.

"What crazy talk are you spouting Zhuo Yúan, we can't go back."

"I don't want to go back. I have a boyfriend and a new life."

Zuo Yunan's confession came as a surprise to her. She had always kept him at arm's length, wary of him because she was afraid he would find out about the children and try to take them away from her.

She had never thought he would want to look back, after all the drama of their divorce.

"Tinglan, these past few years haven't been good for me. I regret agreeing to the divorce. If I had held on a little longer, would the ending have been completely different"

He didn't bring it up and it was fine, but once he did, Shu Tinglan felt a lump in her chest: "So you blame me You blame me for not fighting alongside you, for giving up first"

"Yes, it's your fault, and my fault too," Zhu Yu'an replied after a moment of silence. Many wounds he wanted to rip open completely, expose them, then treat them, instead of hiding them away.

Shu Tinglan was trembling with anger.

"Zuo Yu'an, go to die!"

After that, she hung up the phone. If littering from a height wasn't illegal, she would have loved to throw the flowerpot on her windowsill down there right now and hit him with it.

Xiaoxin, hearing a noise in the guest room, hurriedly turned on the light and came out.

“Ms. Shu, what happened”

Shutinglan looked at the girl before him, her thoughts that had been tangled just moments ago finally returning.

"Mr. Shu, why are you crying"eally send a gift. After all, every time she came back to Beijing, Song Jingye was always there to help out. 。"Wait for me" 。She went out after putting on her hat and mask. 。This floor is the special...
