"Why? "Why?" Lei Zichen roared loudly, "Yao Yao is most afraid of pain …"

"She wants to kill you. She wants to kill you. She wants to kill you …" Irene's words were like an incantation. Every time Lei Zichen used his emotions, they would appear in due time …

Lei Zichen shook his head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.

He really didn't understand. Should he hate Tao Tian? He hated her for deceiving his feelings. He hated how she had only married him to kill him, yet had deceived him to take away so many of those sincere feelings.

Yet he still wanted to love her, to love her? Now, it seemed more like an unattainable dream.

Perhaps it was true that she was not worth it. She had left without a sound, making it impossible for him to find her.

What was she going to do with her brother at night?

Did he want to leave the city? How could that be possible? Tao Weiguang had already given the entire Tao Clan to Tao Ran, and with Tao Weiguang covering the sky with his hands, escaping was simply suicidal.

Perhaps, it really was, he had found a path to death.

However, when she left, she didn't even open her mouth to speak to him. She didn't even bid him farewell, and was already separated from him.

Lei Zichen's eyes were bloodshot and he was on the verge of tears. He realized that he had never truly understood Tao Tian and what kind of person she was.

He painfully tore at his own hair, wanting to take the opportunity to take off the grief from his body. He was tired, he couldn't walk anymore. The road ahead was too dangerous, but he was the only one left.

Or had he been walking alone all along?

Lei Zichen continued tearing at his hair.

"Young Master Lei, don't be like this." Feng Si, who suddenly rushed in, tightly held onto Lei Zichen's arms, as if trying to subdue a ferocious beast.

"Go away and let me die! I am the biggest fool in the world!" Lei Zichen struggled, trying to escape from Feng Siniang's arms.

"Fourth Bro, why are you here?" After being yelled at by Feng Si, Lei Zichen regained some of his consciousness.

"I watched the news in the morning and came to see how you were doing. As I expected, you were really hysterical here."

Feng Si forced out a smile, using it to comfort Lei Zichen.

"Number four, you don't know, but …" Lei Zichen was choked with sobs. He couldn't say anything else.

"What?" Feng Si saw the sadness on Lei Zichen's face and was infected by his emotions.

"Fourth Bro, actually, Tao Tian, she … "She …" Lei Zichen tried to reconstruct that scene, but he didn't know where to start.

"What happened to her?" Feng Si saw that Lei Zichen was unable to utter a complete sentence and became even more anxious.

"If I knew she left, I don't know if our marriage was a joke or not." Lei Zichen smiled wryly as he summed up everything in his heart.

"Big brother, why do you say that?" Feng Si was shocked by Lei Zichen's words.

"Forget it, the dead are done. "It's better not to say anything bad about her." Lei Zichen shook his head, unwilling to bring it up.

"Big brother, don't be like this. Sister-in-law, I think Sister-in-law wouldn't be willing to see you like this." Feng Si didn't know if using Tao Tian to comfort him would work, but he was a little hesitant.

"Really?" Lei Zichen was in a daze. "Is that really true?" Lei Zichen's mind was in a mess. He desperately needed someone to give him a reasonable explanation and direction, letting him know exactly where his heart should go.

"Of course, Big Brother." Feng Si didn't know the meaning behind Lei Zichen's words. He nodded his head deeply in agreement.

"Big brother, I'm sorry that I can't revive you." Feng Si patted Lei Zichen's shoulder as he consoled him.

"If you need any help, just say it. We'll be there soon." Feng Si dutifully patted his chest.

"Feng Si, good brother." Lei Zichen felt slightly gratified.

"Big brother, tonight in Paris, I'll find you a quiet room and drink a few cups of wine with you." Feng Si suggested.

"Forget it, number four, I'm really not in the mood for that." Lei Zichen had a look of loneliness on his face, "Really, I'm sorry."

"No problem, I understand." Feng Si was straightforward. "Big brother, take care. This little brother still has other things to take care of. I'll leave first and tell you one last thing. The sun tomorrow will always be beautiful." Feng Si had a meaningful look on his face as he smiled and turned to leave.

Lei Zichen sat at his desk, lost in his own thoughts.

Even until the sun set, Lei Zichen sat there unfazed. All day long, the staff did not dare to disturb him, and Lei Haotian had his own orders too. Today, he would take over Lei Zichen's shift and look for him whenever he had anything to do.

"It's catalpa, time to go home." Lei Haotian lightly knocked on the door of Lei Zichen's office.

He was extremely clear about Lei Zichen's feelings, just like the time when Ma Hui Xin had disappeared.

He knew that any kind of consolation would seem ridiculous at this moment. The only thing that could save him was himself. Besides, he was different from Ma Hui Xin and himself. Before their final parting, they still had many unresolved feelings in their hearts.

Grief, of course, had its reasons.

"Father, please go back first. I want to be alone and have some peace and quiet." Lei Zichen raised his head and looked at his father through the glass door with a dazed expression.

"Alright, then be careful." Lei Haotian nodded and silently stepped back. His son was young after all, he should give him some time.

Lei Zichen looked at his watch. Right now, it should be Tao Tian's school hours. Normally, he would be excitedly driving his car towards Tao Tian's school. He really wanted to see her earlier.

How could she leave just like that? There were still many questions, and he needed answers, "Tao Tian, tell me, should I miss you, or should I hate you?" Lei Zichen clenched his fists and slammed them onto the table. He clenched his teeth tightly. He hated himself. He was like a fool, desperately taking out his heart, but what he got instead was fate's mockery. How laughable!

Forget it, it's getting late. Let's go home.

Lei Zichen grabbed the clothes on the back of his chair and quickly left the office.

Along the way, the faces of the passersby on the street constantly overlapped, turning into a dazzling scene for Lei Zichen. On the way, the faces of the people on the street constantly overlapped, turning into a dazzling scene for Lei Zichen.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the Heaven Realm red. Little by little, it dyed the road in front of Lei Zichen's eyes blood-red.

The sun was setting in the west, and the people who broke their intestines were on the edge of the world …

Lei Zichen tiredly moved his feet. He arrived at the door of his house, raised his head and met Irene's uncertain gaze. He was pacing back and forth in front of the door.

Seeing Lei Zichen, Irene suddenly smiled. Her smile was very happy. Seeing such a beautiful smile on her face, Lei Zichen was momentarily in a daze. How long had it been since he last saw Tao Tian's smile?

That day at the construction site in the North Fourth Ring Road, their moment of warmth was followed by endless suffering.

Such a heartfelt smile, how long had it been since it appeared between him and Tao Tian? Such a warm smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Tao Tian, his Tao Tian. His Tao Tian had already left. He's gone. It's really gone … never again …

Looking at Lei Zichen in front of her, Irene was at a loss of what to do.

"Brother Zichen, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Eileen was a little nervous.

"Really? Why are you looking for me?" Lei Zichen was expressionless. This was his usual posture, but now, it was filled with a hint of sorrow.

"Nothing much …" Irene pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "I'm just, just a little worried about you."

"Is that so?" Lei Zichen raised his eyebrows and walked into the house without a word, leaving Irene behind as she rushed into the house.

"Brother Zichen, I …" Irene still wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw a smiling Lei Haotian, "Lei …" Lei... "Master Lei." Irene was startled.

"Irene, why did you come to my house?" Lei Haotian kindly asked, "Our family's recent funeral will affect your mood." he reminded Irene.

"Old Master Lei, I know. I'm just worried, Big Brother Zichen, he …" Irene looked at Lei Zichen's face, which had lost all of its spirit, with a look of worry on her face.

"Don't worry, Zichen will take good care of himself. He's not a child anymore." Although Lei Haotian was smiling, his tone was filled with an undeniable authority.

"Th-that …" Nothing, I... I'll be leaving first. " Irene felt that she was asking for trouble.

Lei Haotian didn't try to urge him to stay, he only nodded with a smile.

"Wait a moment, Irene, have you eaten yet? Call me sister 'E' and a pair of chopsticks, let's eat together." Lei Zichen took the initiative to invite him.

Lei Haotian was shocked by Lei Zichen's actions. He glared angrily at him. After all, his daughter-in-law had just left, just what was going on with this woman?

"Alright, Zhizhi, Master Lei, I, I won't be polite." Irene was still a little nervous. Although she couldn't guess Lei Zichen's intentions, she was still very excited. After all, this was the first time Lei Zichen took the initiative to invite someone.

This meal had left him speechless. Not only Irene, but even Lei Haotian had no way of understanding his son's current thoughts.

For Lei Zichen, inviting Irene was simply a way to divert attention. If he could not get along with her now, the moment he calmed down, his mind would race, he would once almost become someone who was at the center of his life, but now, he would suddenly disappear without a trace. It was like he was a part of his body, forcefully being pulled away and he would no longer have the strength to stand up, while the culprit, who was standing at the side, coldly laughed at him, ridiculing his ignorance, his foolishness, his sacrifice …

After dinner, Lei Zichen took the initiative to send Irene home, and Irene naturally cheered happily.

"Zhizhi, are you alright?" On the way, Irene asked Lei Zichen, who had a cold expression and had been silent the whole time.

"Not bad." Lei Zichen replied concisely.

"Brother Zichen, I want you to know that I will, I will always be with you." Irene spoke with a bit of shyness, then she quickly lowered her head.

"Irene, I don't have the heart to think about this right now." Lei Zichen's heart ached when he saw Irene sitting at Tao Tian's seat with the same expression as Tao Tian.

"I can wait. When you are in such a mood." Irene said stubbornly, "Brother Zichen, is she worth it for you to do so?" The last sentence was not loud, but it was extremely intimidating.
