"If you want to come, you can do it," Zhu Jiangci's words were like a shot in the back of her mind as she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he felt ashamed.

She seemed to have … He seemed to be a little interested in Zhu Jiangci.

It was an undeniable temptation, and also a small one that had to be hidden well.

Li Quan had seen through her, but he did not say death.

She thought she was mean.

Li Shinian replied softly, and ran without even raising his head.

She asked Zhu Jiangci if she could still come to see him, but after obtaining the answer, she had never gone there a single time.

I never went to the hospital again.

She was afraid that her shameful feelings would grow crazy, that others would see through her, that she would waver, and that others would feel uncomfortable.

She pretended that nothing had happened and she lived her life well.

She was well disguised, and no one could see it.

However, she was able to deceive others but couldn't deceive herself. The torment in her heart made her feel that time was very hard to bear.

The closer it was to the wedding day, the more flustered she became.

She had thought it would be okay to go on like that, and now she couldn't even imagine what the future would be like.

Li Shinian personally washed his jacket clean and dried it, then stored it in the wardrobe.

It was stored there and was not allowed to be taken away.

The most common thing to do every day was to sit on the balcony in a daze, looking out at nothing.

Li Zhenting silently sighed as he looked at Li Shinian, who was blankly sitting inside the house on the balcony.

"Xiao Nian!"

"Mm …" "Dad?"

"Have you had something on your mind lately? Every day I stay in my room and don't go out. "

She shook her head.

"Stop lying to me. You are my daughter. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?" Li Zhenting said, "If you had nothing else on your mind, you wouldn't be sitting here sighing every day. Tell me, what happened? I think that Li Quan, that kid, has also been coming here very rarely these few days.

"No, he's busy with the wedding, I …"

"If it's not a problem between the two of you, then it's your problem. Tell dad, what happened to you?"

How to start with that sort of thing.

She was ashamed.

"Emotionally?" Li Zhenting guessed.

This guess was the truth of the secret she was hiding in her heart.

She didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Nian, people's lives will often meet many people, some are passing by in a hurry, some are people you will never forget, and some are people you will spend your life together with. Maybe you will meet someone you like a lot, but that does not mean that you must be together."

"Dad …"

Li Zhenting smiled kindly, "Father is an experienced man, you heard father say that father will not hurt you. I think Xiao Nian must have met with something that troubled you, that is why he shut himself in his room and did not come out, right?"

She was finally willing to admit her thoughts.

"Dad, you're right. Some people are just not suitable." Not to mention that she was getting married.

Just by talking about Zhu Jiangci, he already had a family, and they loved each other dearly. Even if he had helped her time and time again, it might have been because of his good will, and it did not mean that he had any thoughts towards her.

She knew very well that she was thinking too much, but she couldn't control her heart.

"If Xiao Nian has thought this through, then why are you still feeling so troubled?"

"Because here —" She pointed to the location of the heart — "it won't listen to me. I want to live a normal life, but it won't allow it."

"That's only a matter of time. As time passes, you will gradually forget about it."

"Perhaps …" Luckily, she didn't sink too deep into the ground. It was just that she couldn't really put it down.

"A month. Give yourself a month. A month later, regardless of whether you can put it down or not, you have to withdraw from your current state. Do you understand?"

Li Zhenting said this because in another month, she would be married. She wanted to enter the marriage hall with another man.

From there, whether she wanted to or not, there was no room for regret. She had to force herself to forget.

"Alright."

Li Shinian agreed.

She thought she could do it.

Perhaps it was because she had been in contact with Zhu Jiangci too often, and because he had always been by her side as her protector, she mistook her reliance on him as her love.

— —

Half a month later.

When she heard that Zhu Jiangci had left the hospital and was recovering well, she decided to return the clothes to him.

She hesitated for a long time with her clothes before deciding to go out.

On the way to his company, she was always touching the man's suit jacket that she had washed clean.

She waited until she reached the door of the company before putting on her mask and entering.

At the front desk, she whispered, "Hello, is your CEO here?"

"May I ask who you are …" The front desk was studying her.

She wore a mask that obscured her face, revealing only her eyes.

"I'm here to return the goods, can I trouble you to tell me about it?"

"Miss, don't you have an appointment?"

"Nope."

"Then I'm sorry, we can't go without an appointment, and our CEO's trip is very urgent, I'm afraid we don't have time to see you. How about this, if you have anything you want to hand to our CEO, leave it here for now, I'll help you deliver it."

She tightened her grip on the bag.

"No need." He rejected the receptionist's good intentions almost without thinking.

She left with the bag. The front desk looked at her back in confusion.

Why did it feel like she looked familiar? It felt like he was familiar with it, as if he had seen it somewhere before …

Li Shinian took the bag and walked out of the Chu Building. Raising his head, he saw that the tall building was like a cloud, he could not even see the end of it.

She couldn't enter, and didn't have Zhu Jiangci's contact information, so she wasn't willing to hand over the clothes to him.

She still wanted to personally meet Zhu Jiangci to confirm if he had truly recovered from his injuries.

She didn't dare go to the hospital while he was in the hospital.

He was afraid that it would cause trouble, but he was also afraid that his wishful thinking would get worse.

Zhu Jiangci had a lover, and she was about to own a family of her own.

These emotions that shouldn't be generated should be ruthlessly squeezed out of her when she just realized that a tender bud had just sprouted.

She came here to change her clothes and to see if he had truly recovered. In the end … It was also to bid farewell.

Li Shinian had already thought about it, she planned to return to the foreign countries with Li Quan after she and him finished their wedding ceremony, since they would be getting married there anyway, and after that, she would settle down and not come back.

Going back to where she was supposed to be was the best thing she could do.
