Chapter Ninety-Four: (Business as Usual)
Zhang Yanran slowly turned around to the corner of the lost suitcase, picked up the clothes one by one, pulled up the broken box and went home, and stopped beside Zhang Runhui, I don't know when her father had gray hair, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his face, blaming her for a faint worry under her eyes, and Yang Qingqin, who never came out of pajamas, didn't even have time to put on a coat for her in a hurry.
Zhang Yanran stood in the living room and bowed to them, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, it's my willfulness that makes everyone worried." β
Everyone looked at each other, since Zhang Yanran learned that Yan Yiling had withdrawn from the marriage, it was difficult to control her emotions, and in just a few days, they really hated her, and Zhang Yanran now, like a lost lamb, has been shouting to find Yan Yiling, she whispered her mistake at this moment?
"It's late, I'll send her back to the room, and you guys should go back to sleep too!" Mu Yan reached out and took the box that he broke in her hand, hugged her shoulder with his right hand and led her upstairs, and said in a deep voice to the people behind her.
Zhang Runhui turned to Chen Shishi and said kindly: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, and please go back and rest now!"
"Uncle, let's go up and rest first, you and Auntie go to bed early, good night!" Chen Shishi reacted in time.
Although Chen Shishi didn't know Mu Yan's identity, there was no doubt about one thing, he would never hurt Zhang Yanran.
Ouyang Qing then said, "Uncle and aunt, good night!"
They all knew that Mu Yan would definitely come back, but they didn't know how they happened to bump into Zhang Yanran and secretly leave, and this farce was staged, and Mu Yan was still as gentle as ever to her.
Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and there was a faint light in the living room, which could be clearly seen from the outside, two figures sitting on the sofa and snuggling up to each other.
"Why didn't you mention such a big thing to me?" Yang Qingqin leaned in front of his chest and asked, she knew that Zhang Runhui just didn't want her to worry, but she didn't want him to bear it alone.
Zhang Runhui led her to the kitchen, took out the milk and poured it into the cup, put it in the microwave and twisted it for two minutes, and then replied to her: "I can handle this, don't worry, Mrs. Zhang." β
Yang Qingqin followed him desperately back then, how could she worry now?
Xiao Ran's strength was only persuaded by her brother. Yang Qingqin nodded clearly, took the warm milk handed over by Zhang Runhui and said.
Zhang Runhui took her out of the kitchen, turned off the light and said inadvertently: "It may not be a good thing to be able to persuade her..."
Zhang Yanran's before and after reactions are obvious to everyone around her, she can not cry or make trouble now, but has she really let go of her heart?
"Let's go rest too!" Yang Qingqin said with hot milk, as parents, they did have some inappropriate handling of this matter.
Zhang Runhui and Yang Qingqin were too anxious to deal with this matter, they only cared about all this for Zhang Yanran's good, but they forgot that she first tasted love, forgot that she was betrayed for the first time, and forgot that she would be flustered and overwhelmed.
Upstairs, Zhang Yanran was folding clothes one by one and putting them in the closet, putting the broken boxes in the corner of the room, Mu Yan sat in front of her dresser, looking at their group photo, her fingers rhythmically tapping on the tabletop, as if she was in deep thought.
Mu Yan stopped the movement of his fingers, turned to look at Zhang Yanran who was squatting in the corner, and asked, "Is he good?"
Although he doesn't often meet with Zhang Yanran, and he doesn't often communicate, but in Ouyang Qing's report, he knows a lot about Zhang Yanran's situation, and naturally knows the existence of Yan Yiling, but he didn't expect them to hold an engagement wedding privately.
"Good. Zhang Yanran packed her hands and responded slowly.
Mu Yan looked at her back and asked, "Is he worth letting you do this?"
"It's worth it!" Zhang Yanran suddenly wiped away the tears that had inadvertently slipped with her hands, and hurriedly put the passport in her bag back in the cabinet, not daring to let Mu Yan see her like this.
Zhang Yanran knew that they must have thought that she was terminally ill, maybe it was really as they said, she was really poured by Yan Yiling*, otherwise how could they hear that when the Yan family suppressed the Zhang family, the first reaction was that it was not his fault.
Mu Yan took the medicine to reduce swelling on the table, walked to the place where she was squatting, pulled up her light body, let her sit on the sofa, squatted in front of her and blamed herself: "I'm sorry!"
It's that he didn't protect this family, didn't protect her well, and couldn't show up at the first time.
"You're not wrong, it's me who's wrong. Zhang Yanran turned his face sideways and asked him to take medicine, the cold plaster was applied to the wound, with a faint comfort, and he remembered that Yan Yiling had also medicated her, but now he was missing: "You want me to recognize the impossibility between me and him, and I desperately want me to leave, but I really can't do it." β
"The love between me and him is like he planted a seed in my heart, when everyone told me that he abandoned me, I looked down at the seed in my heart, it turned out that the seed had taken root under his care, and now let me break it immediately, just like you want to uproot him from my heart, it seems that you are really a little excessive. Zhang Yanran's eyes were full of pain, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she couldn't forget him, but she could hide her eye-catching love for everyone.
Zhang Yanran seemed to be calmly expressing her feelings for the first time, like a family member stating her dying love, if one day, Yan Yiling forced her family to a dead end, then there would be no way back for her and his love.
Mu Yan gently patted her shoulder and whispered, "I'm sorry, we ignored your feelings. β
Zhang Yanran threw herself into Mu Yan's arms, crying desperately, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances of the past few days, no matter how good the sound insulation of the house was, she couldn't stand her crying.
Zhang Runhui and Yang Qingqin stood stiffly outside her door, they were deeply ashamed of what she said, they didn't listen to Zhang Yanran's thoughts calmly, and dealt with it in the best way, but kept saying that it was good for her, but in fact, it was just selfish.
"In the end, the selfish person is us, Xiao Ran is just a scapegoat between us, there is nothing wrong with her loving someone, it's just that that person just can't love. Yang Qingqin finally understood the meaning of what Zhang Runhui said downstairs, and in the stumbling journey, it was not Zhang Yanran who was wrong, but them who swore to protect her.
Zhang Runhui took Yang Qingqin back to the room, and Zhang Yanran's cry erupted in his ears, and he joked and sighed: "Xiao Ran is like you when you were young, and you married me with a heart to overcome all difficulties, and now your daughter is not like you?"
"Nonsense, it's obvious that you tricked me, otherwise where would I have such guts?" Yang Qingqin retorted with a slightly wrinkled smile on his face.
Zhang Runhui said leisurely: "You are not a person who can be easily seduced. β
If you talk about the conditions, Zhang Runhui is definitely not as good as Yan Liqing, and his appearance is definitely not as handsome as Yan Liqing, if you want to say that you are bewitched, then it is love, right?
"You... I'm too lazy to tell you!" Yang Qingqin was annoyed and angry, and took the lead in returning to the room, walking faster and faster.
Zhang Runhui followed her footsteps, and when he approached the door, he deliberately walked a few steps past her, provocative like a child, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Yang Qingqin followed closely without backing down, and led the way into the room, and couldn't help but say proudly in his heart: "Hmph, it's up to you!"
"Silly, I'm trying to make you. Yang Qingqin didn't see his response, so she looked back curiously, only to see Zhang Runhui standing in front of the door with a smile on the corner of his mouth and looking at her, his eyes full of love.
Yang Qingqin pulled him in, closed the door, and prepared to go to bed, pretending to be angry: "Dozens of years old, still so naΓ―ve!"
In fact, he knows in his heart that he always cares about her feelings for the first time, even if there is anything, he chooses him to bear it alone, and does not let her know that marrying such Zhang Runhui is worth it in this life.
The two of them lay down and fell asleep, Yang Qingqin covered the two of them with a quilt, adjusted their sleeping position and lay down, Zhang Runhui turned sideways and suddenly said seriously: "If that kid insists on being with Xiao Ran after getting engaged..."
"I'm afraid you'll be tempted to agree?" Yang Qingqin said his hesitant words, these two children were too similar to them back then, and Zhang Runhui must have seen their shadows in the children.
The two have lived for many years and have formed a tacit understanding, Yang Qingqin is right, Zhang Runhui sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the only difference between him and me is that he didn't insist." β
In Zhang Runhui's opinion, Yan Yiling's attitude of acting, being humble and polite, is even appreciated by him, just because of his thoughtfulness towards Zhang Yanran, some details are not so thoughtful even as parents, which is enough to show the difference between him and Yan Liqing, in addition to his family background, he is indeed a good son-in-law!
"Rest early, good night!" Yang Qingqin didn't know Zhang Runhui's thoughts in his heart? It's just that no matter what his reason, he did withdraw from the marriage and went abroad!
The next day, Zhang Runhui and Yang Qingqin went to the morning as usual, and when they returned to the entrance, Aunt Li stepped forward and took the towel: "Sir, Mrs., breakfast is ready." β
"Hmm!" Zhang Runhui changed into the home shoes handed by Yang Qingqin and walked to the restaurant with Yang Qingqin.
Yang Qingqin couldn't help but pause, and Zhang Runhui, who was standing behind him, asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Yang Qingqin's eyes motioned for him to look at the restaurant, Zhang Runhui turned his head to look in, at 6:39 in the morning, everyone appeared at the table to prepare for the meal, the maid was already slowly putting breakfast, when they walked over, everyone said in unison: "Good morning!"
Among them, Zhang Yanran except for the injury on the left side of her face, her eyes were a little red and swollen, everything was as normal as if nothing had happened, and the corners of her mouth were also greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, why do you get up so early?" Yang Qingqin sat down and asked cordially after washing his hands, it seems that the family has not been so lively for a long time!
Mu Yan responded with a smile after a long absence: "Get used to getting up early!"
At the Zhang family's dining table, there are not so many rules, you say a word to me, occasionally laugh, the atmosphere is relaxed, the only difference is that Zhang Yanran's eyes are no longer as clear as ever.
