Han Yuan stopped in his tracks.
Gu Yan stood up from the sofa, slowly walked to Han Yuan's side, and slowly approached him. Then she gently embraced Han Yuan's body from behind — —
Han Yuan's body stiffened instantly as if he was electrocuted. He never thought that Gu Yan would hug him so tenderly!
How long had it been since she'd held her? How long had it been since he'd held her?
It was as if they had been estranged from each other by a century, becoming the most familiar strangers under the same roof. Many times, they had not even spoken a single word.
Han Yuan stiffened his body, not knowing how to respond to Gu Yan's initiative and warmth.
Everything that had happened appeared before his eyes once more. It was beautiful, painful, helpless, and sad … The past and the past lingered in his heart.
The past that cannot be returned to, the pain that cannot be wiped away...
At this moment, he was unable to turn around and give Gu Yan a hug.
His heart had already been filled with another woman, his emotions had already been completely given to A Lan, and Gu Yan had long since moved away from the world of his feelings.
"Han Yuan, I'm sorry, but I don't care about your past anymore. For the sake of our children, for the sake of this family, let's reconcile, okay?" Gu Yan pressed her face against his back and said softly.
Even after so long, he was still familiar with his scent. At this moment, he felt completely at ease as he breathed in her scent.
Having a family, having love, and having a family, was also a matter of happiness. Her eyes were wet with tears.
Han Yuan's back was stiff and stiff. Gu Yan's tears had wetted his shirt, causing a tinge of wetness to spread to his heart.
He knew that women were fragile, especially after experiencing such a soul-stirring experience today. Gu Yan realized that she couldn't leave him, she couldn't leave him.
However, he could not accept Gu Yan's words.
Ignore my past? I, Han Yuan, have always been innocent in the past. It was your unruly and heartless nature that completely pushed me out of this house and into the arms of other women!
If your apology had come earlier, if you had woken up earlier, if you hadn't made such a ruckus, if you hadn't said so much that broke his heart, maybe I would still have had feelings for you today, maybe we would have returned to the past and continued our fates …
However, there was no 'if' anymore. Everything had happened, and there was no way to return to the past! I can't go back!
Han Yuan took a deep breath, gently pushed away Gu Yan's hand, turned around and looked at her regretfully, "Gu Yan, we are all tired, go take a shower and have a good night's sleep."
After he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.
"Han Yuan!" Gu Yan covered her mouth as she cried and chased after him, "Don't go —"
At that moment, the phone in Han Yuan's pocket vibrated.
At this late hour, he did not know who had called.
Han Yuan took out his cell phone. It showed that it was A Lan's number!
Han Yuan raised his head and looked at the crying Gu Yan, sighing heavily. "Sleep, I'll go to mom's house tonight. You accompany Hong'er well, I'll come back tomorrow morning —"
"Han Yuan —" Gu Yan came over to him with tears streaming down her face, "Have you really decided to abandon me, your family, and your children?"
Han Yuan didn't want to talk about this with her. It was difficult to collect after overturning a river, and once something he felt for her was lost, he would never be able to find it again.
He had loved her so much, loved this family so much, but how could he forgive her for being so proud, so willful, so unreasonable, living to the point of making false things happen, even hurting the innocent? How could he return to her side? How could he let her return to his heart?
"Gu Yan, I don't want to talk about this with you. We have already been hurt too much and will never be able to return to the past. However, no matter what happens, I will always take responsibility for you and the child. I will not leave you behind. "
With that, Han Yuan opened the door and was about to leave, but the phone in his hand kept vibrating.
I don't know what's the matter with Ah Lan, calling him so persistently.
"Is it because of that fox spirit?" Gu Yan felt that she was being insulted, and she turned angry from the embarrassment as she stared at the vibrating phone in his hand.
She was so humble and could not even move his heart. She was unable to redeem the feelings between them because Han Yuan had that fox spirit outside!
At this late hour, it must be that vixen who called him!
"Gu Yan, things between us have nothing to do with others! I don't have a vixen outside, not in the past, and not now. Why have we come to this day? I want to tell you: It's character! We are incompatible, so we cannot get along, and that is the source of the conflict between us. "
After Han Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Yan with incomparable sadness. She always pretended to be thinking of her enemy, causing him to go insane!
Without any hesitation, he opened the door and walked out!
Ah!
From behind came Gu Yan's wails, she was feeling sad and helpless, but it was more like venting her anger!
Han Yuan raised his head, tears welling up at the corners of his eyes. It was really sad that a good family was broken at this step between husband and wife!
Stepping into the elevator, he called back.
"Brother, I'm back." A'Lan's voice was heard, sounding a bit tired.
"You —" Han Yuan was shocked speechless. "Why are you back so soon?"
She had only been gone for less than ten days. Yesterday, she said that it would be another three days before she could return? Why is it ahead of schedule? Why don't you accompany the child for a bit? It's not easy to fly over there, crossing tens of thousands of kilometers in just ten hours.
"I was worried about you, so I changed the ticket and came back early. Brother, what happened? " Ah Lan asked.
Han Yuan's throat felt like it was blocked by something!
A'Lan really came back early for him! Just because he hadn't told her what had happened that morning, she had come back without hesitation! Her heart was always with him!
What could be more touching than this?
"Girl, I'm fine. Where are you?" Han Yuan said gently. Lan's words warmed his heart through the radio waves.
"I'm at the airport, Xu Lan is coming to pick me up. Bro, I'm getting on the car, I want to see you right now!" Ah Lan said.
"…" Han Yuan really wanted to agree to A'Lan's request and go see her immediately, but he was very tired, both physically and mentally. Plus, with what Gu Yan had said to them just now, his heart was in a mess, he couldn't see A'Lan right now, otherwise his conscience would be condemned.
"Girl, I can't see you today. I have business and I'm very tired. Go home and have a good rest. We'll meet again when the sky changes. I'm fine, don't worry." Han Yuan said.
"Alright, brother, what is it that you must tell me!" A Lan said worriedly.
Han Yuan saying that he was fine was just comforting her. A Lan's intuition told her that Han Yuan was fine, and that it was a big deal. But he didn't want to say it now, and she couldn't force him.
After hanging up, Han Yuan's heart felt heavy.
Gu Yan's change surprised him, and he was a little unwilling to refuse.
After all, there was a match between husband and wife, and Hong'er as well.
Shouldn't he withdraw his steps, end his relationship with Lan, and return home for the sake of his children?
However, he could clearly hear the true voice in his heart resisting him.
If it was only for the sake of a child, he would have to be wronged and accept Gu Yan once again. No matter how much his heart was hurt, he had to wrap it up again and maintain his home in front of Gu Yan and his children.
But would he be happy? Can you go back? Gu Yan was such a prideful woman, if she knew that he had nothing left, that he didn't even have a job, and was just leaning on the old lady's company, begging for food, would she look down on him again from the bottom of her heart?
As he sat in the car, his mind was in a mess.
Son, Gu Yan, Lan, career...
Where should he go?
After starting up the car, Han Yuan went straight back to his mother's house.
It was already 11 P.M. when he got back to his mother's house. Han Yuan opened the door softly, trying not to wake the old lady up.
However, he was so careful that he woke the old lady up.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the light in his mother's room light up, and then he saw her come out in her pajamas, her gray hair glaring in the light.
Mom didn't seem to be asleep. She seemed to be very awake, not waking up from her sleep.
"Mom," Han Yuan shouted guiltily, "I woke you up!"
"I thought you would come today. I thought you were still in Guangzhou, so I didn't dare call you." His mother walked over and looked at him with a pained expression.
"It's nothing. I haven't been here for many days. I was just thinking of coming to see you in the evening. I didn't expect that it would still be too late." Han Yuan said, "You go to sleep, I'm going to take a bath —"
Looking at Han Yuan's tired appearance, his mother walked over and held his hand, saying with a pained heart, "Yuan, is there something wrong? Why do I see that you've lost a lot of weight? "
"It's fine, what's wrong with me? Am I not well? " Han Yuan wrapped his arms around his mother.
He felt that his mother had really aged. She looked so short and thin in his arms, and when he held her arm, he also felt that his mother was really thin. He remembered that his mother was very strong when she was young, and she looked very tall.
Mom looked up at him, but didn't quite believe him.
It was said that mother and son were connected heart to heart. For the past two days, she had been feeling troubled and uneasy. Now that she saw her son so haggard and tired, her heart ached and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
"It's all right —" Mom grabbed his arm and said, "See how tired you are. Go take a shower, will you like something to eat? "Mom will cook dumplings for you."
"Alright, I'm really hungry!" Han Yuan happily agreed. After eating that bowl of noodles tonight, his stomach was really empty again.
The famous Han Sanhe could always eat, but a bowl of noodles could only fill up a corner of his stomach. It was simply not enough.
Mom was happy to hear that, too. She immediately took the dumplings out of the fridge and went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
Cooking dumplings for her son late at night was one of the things she often did when Han Yuan was young. Being able to still do that made her feel that her son was still her youngest son and would always need her love.
After taking a bath and eating the dumplings cooked by his mother, Han Yuan slept soundly —
In his dream, Lan walked over to him with a smile.
