Xu Muyun walked to Han Rui's side and looked at Ye Lan, feeling a little familiar with him. After thinking carefully, she was the woman they met when they left the restaurant that day: "Did something happen?"

"No, you should go rest first. It's a friend. We have something to discuss, so we'll be fine after a while." Inadvertently, Han Rui stroked the hair at her ear. He didn't expect that this action would anger Ye Lan.

Was this to show her the sweetness of their happiness? This was supposed to be her happiness being robbed by this woman, and she was very unwilling to accept it.

The cold smile at the corner of his mouth didn't have a trace of warmth. "Director Han's wife's complexion doesn't seem to be too good. Is she not well? I know a pretty good doctor, do you want to have a look with me?"

He didn't think that ever since he and Han Rui broke up, he had a bad impression of her. Even though he had responsibilities, he was still able to deal with a woman like her. It truly made things difficult for him.

This was equivalent to stimulating Xu Muyun's weak mental state. She saw Xu Muyun's expression get uglier and uglier, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.

"Ye Lan, I'll take care of the company's matters in my office tomorrow. I'll be going out with my wife in a bit. If there's nothing else, you can go back first!" Han Rui clearly saw the confident smile on Ye Lan's face. She believed herself to be slightly better than Xu Muyun. She was using her words to provoke Xu Muyun and make her feel more inferior, in order to suppress her.

Ye Lan, Lan Lan, so she was the woman Han Rui spoke of that night. The light in Xu Muyun's eyes changed. What was her purpose in coming here today? Was she here to show off to her?

"Han Rui, stop pretending here. We both know your purpose for marrying her. We both know how long a marriage without love can last. We all know that you love me, so I want to see how long you two can stay together."

Ye Lan's actions made Han Rui feel completely unfamiliar with her. They had grown up together and known each other for so many years, what kind of woman had he fallen in love with?

"Ye Lan, you don't need to be too critical of my wife and how long our marriage will last. It has nothing to do with you and don't embarrass yourself too much. Saying something that you shouldn't have said has hurt our friendship. Your relationship with me is long over. " Han Rui deliberately emphasized on friends, reminding her not to speak carelessly, which didn't do her any good.

"Madame, you are calling me so affectionately. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell her the truth?" Ye Lan was prepared to fight to the death. She was not in a good situation and no one could have a good time. It seemed that she was too kind to allow them to hurt her so unrestrainedly.

"Xiao Yun, you should go back to your bedroom first. I need to talk to her for a while." Han Rui looked at Ye Lan with displeasure in his eyes, then shooed Xu Muyun away. He didn't want her to hear the rest of the conversation.

Xu Muyun didn't say anything, she didn't seem to have any stance on this kind of situation.

After Xu Muyun returned to the bedroom, Han Rui sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Lan indifferently. His eyes no longer had their former tenderness, but instead had a trace of coldness.

Ye Lan wasn't flustered. He directly sat on the sofa beside him and looked him in the eye. "What? Are you surprised that I became like this today?"

"Han Rui, I have always been like this, but by your side, your gentleness prevented me from showing my true self. Since I was young in an orphanage, in order to fill my stomach, I had no choice but to bully the older boys, showing a fake smile and flattering them, so they were willing to give me some of the leftover steamed buns in their hands."

That winter, when I was drying my clothes outside, my hands became stiff from the cold and the pain was unbearable. It was you who walked over and rubbed my hands with your warm palms to warm them.

"Later on, you walked out of the orphanage and became the young master of a rich family, but you didn't forget to take care of me, your little sister, and keep helping me with my studies. But I still live in the orphanage, and I still have to endure the pain of being bullied like before, until I go to college, enter society, and come to your side, I turned back into the woman who only wants to smile foolishly at you. But now, someone took away my happiness, do you think I can forgive her?"

Han Rui looked at her cold smile in shock. This was still that silly girl that only knew how to smile at him when he was young. It was too scary. He clearly understood in his heart that with her stubborn personality, she wouldn't be surprised by anything she did to Xu Muyun.

"Ye Lan, other than marriage and love, as long as you open your mouth, I can do whatever you want for you!" Han Rui tried to use other methods to make up for her, to make her give up on this paranoid thought.

"What if I say AK?" Ye Lan knew very well that Han Rui was just a pawn guarding the AK for that woman. He couldn't even make the decision for his own marriage. He was just a puppet of the Han family.

"Ye Lan, there's no point in talking about it like this. I've already told you many years ago what an AK means. What I've enjoyed and what I've given you all these years came from Xiaoyun's pocket. Do you think I have the right to do so?"

"Han Rui, she's already returned, you no longer have any meaning to the Han family, you've also helped the old man find his daughter, you don't need to tie yourself up here anymore, with your talent, we can go abroad, even if we have to go to Wall Street, you can still have a career. Let's leave here together!"

Unexpectedly, he pulled his hand away from her grasp without leaving a trace, stood up, walked to the window, looked thoughtfully at the scenery outside the window, and calmly said: "Ye Lan, I suddenly feel that the marriage I have chosen may not be a bad thing. It allows me to clearly see that you, I may have only satisfied a sliver of your nearly crazy possessiveness, that is not love."

"No, it's not like that. I love you, and no one in this world can love you more than I do. Only I would give my all to love you. Would you rather live with that girl for the rest of your life and give up our love? " Ye Lan shook his head forcefully. How could he give up on their relationship of twenty-something years so easily!

"Alright, Ye Lan, stop messing around. From now on, please don't interfere in my life anymore. Other than colleagues and friends, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don't do anything to harm Xiao Yun, it makes me hate you even more."
