Article 1

After Zhou Qiao left Wen Lan's office, Xie Yansheng's call came again, but Wen Lan still didn't answer.

After Nuan Nuan was snatched away by Xie's mother, she no longer had any hope for Xie Yansheng.

She thought that Xie Yansheng could divorce her, block the gun for her, take her to Beijing to settle down, and also clarify her relationship with Xie's mother, but she was still wrong.

After coming out of the Xie family's old mansion, her mind became more and more sober, and she saw the gap between herself and Xie Yansheng more thoroughly.

Xie Yansheng tossed the Xie family into bankruptcy, in the final analysis, to vent his anger at Old Man Xie's injustice, which had little to do with her, an outsider.

She actually thought that Xie Yansheng was angry for her!

Hehe, it's ridiculous.

Because she was worried about Nuan Nuan, she got off work early and returned to the Shuyuan Mansion.

Unscrewed the security door, and at a glance she saw the sound of Xie Yan playing with Nuan Nuan in the living room.

The moment the two met their eyes, Xie Yansheng handed Nuan Nuan to Sister Yun and took the initiative to greet Wen Lan: "I'm back."

She let out a "hmm", without too much enthusiasm.

"I have something to say to you, let's go to the café across the street for a while." Xie Yansheng had already gotten up and was ready to go downstairs.

Wen Lan hung his handbag and coat on the entrance door, and said lightly, "I'll go to the Xie family's old house to pick up Nuan Nuan, and you won't answer your phone when I'm most helpless." Now, there's nothing to talk to you about."

"I was in Beijing when you called, and I just landed in Jiangcheng half an hour ago." Xie Yansheng gave Sister Yun a look, and Sister Yun hugged Nuan Nuan to the bedroom farthest from the living room.

"People are in Beijing, can't they answer the phone?" Wen Lan's emotions were a little excited, "Actually, I shouldn't have called you, because you are still on your mother's side in your bones!" No matter how many disgusting things she has done to me, you will forgive her and think about her!"

"I've called you dozens of times all afternoon, and you won't answer any of them." Xie Yansheng frowned deeply, and eased his tone, "I understand your mood at this time, but-"

"Don't stand on the moral high ground and say to me, 'But!'" Wen Lan interrupted him sharply, "I can respect your choice, but please also respect mine!"

"Your choice is to come to Jiangcheng with Nuan Nuan and leave me alone in Shangjing?" As soon as Xie Yansheng tried to pull her arm, she avoided it in advance.

"You have lawyer He with you in the middle of the night, and I left Beijing with Nuan Nuan to make room for you!" She said, "I called you on the last night in Beijing, and I clearly heard you say to He Zheng that you are single!"

"You always avoid the important and trivial, why don't you keep your mouth shut about Jiang Jingci sending you confinement meals!" Xie Yansheng's sneer revealed tension and little restraint left, "I can understand it now, you came to Jiangcheng just for Jiang Jingci."

Wen Lan's face turned red, and he suddenly lost the desire to explain and refute.

Because she knew that this quarrel would not have any meaning and no result.

Xie Yansheng's gloomy gaze was fixed on her, and seeing that she was silent, he cut straight to the point, "If you want to continue, follow me back to Shangjing immediately." If you're still going to stay in Jiangcheng—"

Speaking of the most critical place, Xie Yansheng was stunned.

"How?" Wen Lan asked bitterly.

Xie Yansheng already had an extra cigarette in his hand, and his eyes were dim, "If you continue to stay in Jiangcheng, you and I will walk half of the road towards the sky."

"Okay. Anyway, Mr. Xie and I are both single, and we don't have a marriage certificate." A sour feeling welled up in Wen Lan's heart, but he still squeezed out a reluctant smile, "Mr. Xie, go back, don't disturb me and Nuan Nuan to rest anymore."

Xie Yansheng's body trembled lightly and lowered his palm, crushing the unlit cigarette in his hand, and seeing Wen Lan's eyes become colder and colder, "Wen Lan, you can think about it."

"Since we are together and suspicious of each other, it is better to separate than to live like a year." Wen Lan's eyes were full of determination, "Although the two villas in Tinglan Mansion are my names, I have self-knowledge and will not ask for them, just wait until I have time to go to Beijing to change their names." The only thing that touches us is Nuan Nuan

——」

Speaking of this, Wen Lan's heart suddenly hurt.

She had fantasized about the happy life of a family of three countless times, but she never dreamed that she would break with Xie Yansheng so quickly.

Xie Yansheng took out a cigarette again, lit it with his back to Wen Lan, and his voice was faint, "You have suffered a lot of pregnancy for Nuan Nuan, and I will not fight with you for the custody of Nuan Nuan. But I hope I can return to my old house for two days a month."

"You can come to visit Nuan Nuan at any time, but I will never allow Nuan Nuan to return to the Xie family's old mansion!" Wen Lan was resolute.

"Nuan Nuan is also my daughter, you should always take my feelings into account." Xie Yansheng took a few puffs of cigarette vigorously, "Nuan Nuan has the blood of the Xie family in his bones, it's not that you can deny this blood relationship if you refuse."

"Everything your mother did to me, I will remember for the rest of my life." Wen Lan pretended to be strong and laughed, "As long as I'm alive, I won't let her get close to Nuan Nuan!"

Xie Yansheng snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and turned to look at Wen Lan.

His angry gaze fell on Wen Lan, who looked at him quietly.

At this moment, the air around him seemed to be condensed, and there was a suffocating depression.

"Wen Lan." Xie Yansheng was the first to break the silence and muttered sourly, "Now, An Zhen and I have dissolved our marriage, escaped from the old man's control, and our Nuan Nuan has also been found, why did it come to this point?"

"I've asked myself more than once—" Wen Lan looked away, his face full of dejection, "Maybe this is fate."

"If this is my fate and you, then what about you and Jiang Jingci, and then continue the frontier?" Xie Yansheng's voice became mocking and playful.

"But if I have a little bit of a bad idea about Jiang Jingci, I won't be with you again after the divorce!" She sneered, "Now that it's all divided, is it interesting to dwell on those things back then?"

Xie Yansheng raised his eyebrows, "Then let's get back to the legend that Nuan Nuan's custody."

"You just said that you wouldn't fight with me for the custody of Nuan Nuan, and now you've changed your mind again?" She asked urgently.

"If you don't agree to Nuan Nuan to return to the Xie family's old house every month, I will fight with you for Nuan Nuan's custody." Xie Yansheng's clear face line became cold and hard, "Don't forget, I'm Nuan Nuan's father."

"If I don't make concessions, will Mr. Xie be like Mrs. Xie and find someone to snatch Nuan Nuan away?" She scoffed.

"My mom did something wrong about that incident at noon. I apologize to you now on her behalf." Xie Yansheng's eyes were also a little gentle, "She is also a poor person. I never got my husband's complete love from beginning to end. All her hopes were pinned on me, and when she heard that Nuan Nuan was my child, she was naturally excited."

"You don't have to apologize for her, because you're not her, and you can't empathize with the pain I went through with her." Wen Lan coldly refused.
