"Mhmm, don't worry about it, Brother Zichen. I know about it."

Lei Zichen was finally able to relax and drive in the direction of Tao Yao's home. His speed was very slow, and he would observe the bus stop and pedestrian traffic more carefully as he was afraid of missing out on Tao Tian's figure.

However, the road was fruitless, and just like that, they were slowly moving. Not long later, they arrived at the bottom floor of Tao Yao's house.

"Have we arrived?" This building was very familiar to Irene, but at this moment, she still feigned a harmless look as she carefully asked.

"That's right," Lei Zichen nodded, looking at Irene beside him with a complicated expression.

"Then why didn't you go up?"

Irene raised her head and looked outside the window. Yesterday, when night fell, she hadn't had the time to carefully observe the appearance of the building that Tao Tian lived in. Today, as the sun was setting, Irene had actually observed the appearance of this building for a while.

"She lives here?" Although she had been here before, Irene still couldn't help but exclaim.

Lei Zichen didn't reply, but silently nodded his head.

"It's really hard on her. No matter what, she is the eldest miss of the Tao family." Irene sighed.

"Yes, I hope you won't make things difficult for her." Lei Zichen looked at her and spoke with sincerity.

"Brother Zichen, where did this come from? How could I?" Lei Zichen's words stabbed into her sensitive nerves, causing her to feel a bit uncomfortable as she replied.

"Why, why aren't you going up?" Irene asked carefully.

"Later, I think." Lei Zichen looked at Irene and slowly said.

As an elite in the business world, he was unquestionably outstanding. However, as a man, he couldn't help but be unable to control his emotions.

There was no room for indecision between two women. One was devoted to love, the other was guilty.

He really didn't know how he would take Irene to face Tao Tian and Tao Ran upstairs, or even An Ran. How he would explain that.

He had just lost his mind, and seeing Irene's appearance, he couldn't bear to hurt her. He couldn't bear to hurt others, so he hurt Tao Tian again and again.

When he reached the bottom of Tao Yao's house, he suddenly felt like he wanted to run away. However, the feeling of wanting to see her only grew stronger. He felt like he was being torn into two halves by this suffocating feeling.

"Brother Zichen, what are you waiting for?" Irene asked with some restlessness.

"Nothing, just thinking about how to get up there." Lei Zichen bitterly smiled.

"Is it because of me?" Irene asked somewhat uneasily, "Just say that I'm your friend, I'll definitely be very obedient." Irene softly whispered as she held Lei Zichen's arm in a spoiled manner.

"Let's go." To Irene, Lei Zichen's words were always very simple. It was not that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't know what to say. Just like a moment ago, Lei Zichen also felt wronged, "Irene, I'm sorry." Lei Zichen said as he opened the car door.

"I... I may not be able to marry you. " After a long silence, Lei Zichen finally said what he wanted to say.

"Why?!" Although it was within expectations, it was still hard for her to accept the truth.

"Irene, if this goes on, it will only bring you more harm." Lei Zichen quietly said as he stood on one side of the car and looked at Irene on the other side.

"No, no, I'm not hurt, no." Irene shouted somewhat hysterically.

"Brother Zichen, it's been so many years …" Eileen wanted to defend herself.

"It's precisely because of this many years that I can't bear to treat you like this. You're still young, beautiful with a good background and knowledge. You'll meet a man who knows how to treat you better than I do." Lei Zichen spoke first.

"No, I don't want any of them! I want you!" Irene said in a sobbing tone. At this point, her eyes had already turned red.

"But I'm not the most suitable person for you." Lei Zichen also felt heavy. He knew how cruel this would be to Irene.

"I don't want it, Zhizhi, don't leave me." Irene couldn't help but rush to Lei Zichen's back and tightly hug him from behind, looking humble.

Irene was the only one who was proud, only he, Lei Zichen, was able to poke at her pride time and time again. Time and time again, like this, she couldn't let go.

"Irene, that's my baby's mommy. I can't let them suffer any longer." Lei Zichen said. He also found it difficult.

"She once wanted to kill …" Over the years, whenever she thought of Tao Tian's good fortune, Irene would use these kinds of words to deal with Lei Zichen. This repeated action, and gradually, the hatred in Lei Zichen's heart had already begun to increase over love.

It was just that this kind of hatred, this kind of weakness, after a short period of reunion, all of the hatred had disappeared, and his love had gradually deepened.

"I don't want to argue with her about these things. No matter what, he's my baby's mommy." That was the only reason Lei Zichen could convince Irene right now.

"Brother Zichen, you're so sure that he's your child!" Although Irene's eyes were filled with tears, but a vicious light flashed past. This was her last weight, she wanted to fight for it.

"Irene, this has already happened. Do you have any other questions?" Lei Zichen let Irene hug him like this, shaking his head helplessly.

"Alright, Brother Zichen." Irene wiped her tears and slightly sobbed, "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't force you anymore." Irene let go of her hands, suddenly calming down and quietly saying.

"I only have one last request. Please let me go up with you today. This is my last wish to all of you." Irene spoke with sincerity. Her big eyes were filled with sparkling tears, making people unable to bear to look at her.

"Alright," Lei Zichen's voice was a little hoarse. In the end, he still agreed.

"That's great. Thank you, Brother Zichen." Irene hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and regained her smile. However, there was a trace of craftiness in her eyes …

Irene followed Lei Zichen to the second floor. After pondering for a moment, Lei Zichen politely knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Tao Tian's familiar voice sounded out from within the room.

"Yao Yao, it's me." Lei Zichen looked at Irene beside him and answered.

"Zichen?" Tao Tian's voice sounded hesitant within the door.

"That's right. Yao, quickly open the door." Lei Zichen shouted loudly from outside the door.

"Oh." Despite being separated by the door, Lei Zichen could still clearly hear An Ran's playful voice. It was the most melodious childish voice he had ever heard.

With a "kacha" sound, the door opened. It was Tao Ran. Tao Tian did not come out to open the door for him.

Seeing Irene standing behind Lei Zichen, Tao Ran was shocked, "Zichen, why did you bring her here?" Clearly, Tao Ran was very unhappy.

"Brother Ran, Irene said that she wants to meet her old classmate, that's why I …" Knowing that the siblings were being cautious, Lei Zichen replied embarrassedly.

"Where is Yao Yao?" As soon as he entered the house, Lei Zichen began to look around for Tao Tian's figure.

"She's cooking in the kitchen." Tao Ran pointed in the direction of the kitchen, not even sparing Irene a glance.

"You … You have something to talk to her about? " Tao Ran vigilantly asked as he saw Irene, who was following behind Lei Zichen.

"No, nothing. I just wanted to see her." Lei Zichen felt a little awkward after being asked that question. He scratched his head as he walked towards the sofa.

"Eh, Auntie, you're here too?" When he saw Auntie Zhong playing with An An, he didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. This family had a very strange atmosphere today.

"Yeah, Zichen, you came." "This is …" Apparently, Auntie Zhong was more interested in Irene.

"This is An Xin's university classmate," Lei Zichen hurriedly explained, although he still felt a bit guilty.

"Hello Auntie, I'm An Xin's university classmate." Irene politely greeted him. No matter how brilliant her smile was, it was hard to conceal her red eyes that were already red from crying.

"Hello, hello." Auntie Zhong nodded at Ayrin. She was sensitive enough to notice that this girl was not simple, "Your eyes are …" You just cried? " Auntie Zhong asked pointedly.

"Ah …" Aunty, actually. " Irene was thinking about how she could prove her relationship with Lei Zichen, and not be too direct.

"I was chatting with Brother Zichen just now, and I feel a little regretful." Irene said with a smile.

"Oh? "With how incredible Zichen is, he can make girls cry just by chatting with him!" Auntie Zhong joked.

"Auntie, look at what you're saying," Lei Zichen was a bit uncomfortable, but he still kept looking around.

"Yao, Yao …" Lei Zichen was anxious to see Tao Tian.

"Zichen, when are you going back to Yan City?" Auntie Zhong ignored Lei Zichen's looks and started chatting with him.

"On Monday. Auntie, let's go back on Monday." Irene quickly interrupted.

"Why don't all of you go back together?" Auntie Zhong asked.

"Yeah, I came to specifically visit Brother Zichen." Seeing that Auntie Zhong wanted to chat with him, Irene happily told him everything she wanted to say.

"It seems that the two of you are very close." Auntie Zhong carefully observed Irene. She was obviously a well-off girl.

"Of course, I'm him …" Irene was about to open her mouth, only to see Lei Zichen staring at her, "I'm his good friend …" Irene stuck out her tongue and said.

"Hmph, since we're already here, let him be." Irene thought fiercely in her heart, but she still had a harmless look on her face.

"Brother Ran, why is Yao Yao still not coming out?" Lei Zichen asked anxiously as he hadn't seen Tao Tian for a long time.

"Oh, she's busy." Tao Ran looked at the kitchen and replied.

"An An, did you miss your uncle?" Lei Zichen picked up An An on the sofa and kissed him with a smile.

"Yes, I do." An'an replied honestly. Only An'an could make Lei Zichen feel like he was living in a normal world. If he didn't know why, Lei Zichen would feel uncomfortable standing in this room today.

"Miss Ai, what are you doing here?" When Tao Ran saw Irene, he thought about all the scenes from last night. He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Naturally, he didn't give Irene a pleasant face.
