Chapter 468: Shadows

Wen Lan thought a lot on the way back to Tinglan Mansion.

knew that Xie Yansheng and He Zheng would not have anything, but he was still thinking that He Zheng could sit in Xie Yansheng's office and eat face-to-face with Xie Yansheng.

If He Zheng was a man, she wouldn't have these troubles, but He Zheng was not only a tall and beautiful woman, but also looked at Xie Yansheng's eyes with longing.

Back at Tinglan Mansion, Wen Lan only hugged Nuan Nuan for a while and went upstairs alone, locked himself in the master bedroom and began to reflect.

She closed the curtains, lay on the bed and said to herself over and over again, Xie Yansheng and He Zheng are just working relationships, and eating together is a coincidence, a coincidence-

But she tried many times, and every time she was about to reconcile this matter, she would think of He Zheng's sticky eyes when she looked at Xie Yansheng.

In fact, she knows that she is not a person with a small belly, and now she is so calculating because of her inferiority complex in her bones!

Her inferiority complex was given by Jiang Jingci and Wen Jinyin, who destroyed the high-spirited Wen Lan in the past.

When Xie Yansheng came back, she quietly glanced at the time, half past three in the afternoon.

She had no desire to communicate with Xie Yansheng, and lay on her side and pretended to sleep.

Xie Yansheng stood at the door and stared at her slender back for a while, and then took the initiative to speak: "Get up and pack your luggage, let's go back to Jiangcheng to get the marriage certificate."

She immediately became unsettled, and sat up from the bed, "Didn't you say that you would consider getting the certificate in a year, what do you mean by saying this now?"

"It's not interesting, I just want to put you at ease." Xie Yansheng approached her, his eyes deep on her, "When you become a veritable Mrs. Xie, maybe you won't be thinking nonsense anymore."

"It's not because of that piece of paper." She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "If your heart is not in me, even if you get a certificate, it will be a piece of waste paper for me."

"You complained that I didn't say who you were in front of He Zheng, you tell me, what should I say to be decent! Say you're my ex-wife, my girlfriend now, or the mother of my kids?" Xie Yansheng's face was slightly stunned.

"But you didn't say anything, you didn't even have the idea of introducing me to He Zheng." She struggled to keep her emotions under control and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible.

"Because, I haven't found a proper name for you for the time being." Xie Yansheng bent down to open the safe and took out his ID card and household registration book, "When you get the certificate, these unpleasantness should disappear."

Her internal organs were like being stuffed with a handful of wheat bran with edge, and she was miserable.

What she cares about is not the marriage certificate, but Xie Yansheng's heart!

Seeing that she was silent, Xie Yansheng urged, "Clean up, rush over now, and maybe catch the last train from the Jiangcheng Civil Affairs Bureau to get off work."

"Let's talk about it in a year." She lowered her eyes and muttered, "Maybe it won't take half a year for you and me to go half of the way." When the time comes, it will be too troublesome to apply for a divorce certificate, so it is better not to get a divorce certificate first."

Xie Yansheng almost had a heart attack when he heard it, and he pressed her against the wall with a calm face, "You are so optimistic about our relationship?"

Her expression was calm, her eyes dark, "Just tell me the truth."

"When you say that, you stab me in the heart." Xie Yansheng's hand rubbed lightly against her cheek, and said softly, "Since last night, you have been deeply hostile to me."

"Nope!" She retorted.

"Don't be in a hurry to argue with me just yet." Xie Yansheng took her hand, pressed her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and lowered his voice, "Tell me first, why did you reject me last night, huh?"

「……」

She was speechless.

"Let me tell you well, it's that you have a psychological shadow, and you still have a haunt in that incident, and now you don't want to have any skin-to-skin relationship with me anymore." In order to completely dispel her concerns, Xie Yansheng chose to tear her wounds open again.

She bit her lip hard, not daring to look into Xie Yansheng's eyes.

"It's over, you not only have me but also Nuan, and indulging in pain is tantamount to being cocooned." Xie Yansheng cupped her face and forced her to look at herself, "Actually, after the accident, I was a hundred times more painful than you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cleaned up the river view before boarding

resignation."

Xie Yansheng's words did not let her come out of the trough, but made her more and more disgusted with herself.

The filth on her body still brought pain and humiliation to Xie Yansheng!

She couldn't forgive herself, and she only felt deep self-blame and guilt for Xie Yansheng.

"My body is already dirty, don't have any illusions about me anymore, I will never be Mrs. Xie again!" She suddenly became emotional, "Xie Yansheng, the responsibility for the accident that day is entirely on me, it was my careful eyes that I went downstairs with you. If you don't go downstairs, you won't be exploited by Wen Jinyin, and you won't be violated by Jiang Jingci! Please, don't be so nice to me—"

"There's no point in talking about who's at fault now." Xie Yansheng was afraid that she would break away and run away, so he tightly wrapped his arms around her, "For that incident, I almost took out my heart for you to see, what else do you want from me?"

"Thank you—" she cried out the man's name, "I've tried hard to get myself to accept this, but I really can't do it now! I can't accept that I've been - please give me a little more time to take a break—"

"What else do you want?" Xie Yansheng found that he couldn't get into her heart, and asked anxiously.

"Now—don't sleep in another room." She whispered her attitude, "Maybe after a while, I will be able to come out of the shadows."

Xie Yansheng let go of her in disappointment, and his voice was scarce: "Distance can't produce beauty, only estrangement."

"I just want to be alone and quiet." At this time, her tone was humble to dust, "If I face you at night, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."

Xie Yansheng looked at her with a heart full of distress, and said "Okay" without thinking.

A gunpowder-filled quarrel finally turned to peace.

The two fell silent again.

"I'll go back to the office first, and remember to call if I have something." After Xie Yansheng finished speaking, he went downstairs.

Listening to the distant footsteps on the stairs, Wen Lan's tears fell.

Obviously, the happy life of her and Xie Yan has begun, but it has become what it is now!

Every time she faced the sound of thanksgiving banquets, she not only felt dirty, but also very humble.

This kind of humility has never been seen since I met Xie Yansheng.

It seems that now I can be with Nuan Nuan and live in the big house of "Tinglan Mansion" because of the sound of the thanksgiving banquet.

Xie Yansheng came back in the middle of the night again, and came upstairs to knock on her door.

At first she didn't open it, but the knocking on the door grew louder and louder, and she had to unscrew the door open.

"Lanlan, I'm drunk." Xie Yansheng staggered over.

She hurriedly held Xie Yansheng back.

"The man at the table has a wife calling to urge him to go home, just you, don't call me!" As soon as Xie Yansheng's complaint fell, the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang.

Wen Lan stretched out his hand to help him take it out, and saw the name "He Zheng" flashing on the screen.
