Marriage First, True Love Later Novel



248 Hold on tightly

He was a little surprised that su Yicheng would call him so early in the morning, but he still swiped the phone screen and picked up the call. Hello.

“Do you want to come out for a drink? I’m free today.” Su Yicheng’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and his tone was teasing.

Zhou han also chuckled, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. I don’t have the habit of drinking early in the morning. As she spoke, she walked towards the cloakroom. She had sweated a lot last night, so her body was sticky and uncomfortable.

“It sounds like you’re in a good mood today.” Su Yicheng said with a chuckle on the other end of the phone.

“I ate and slept well, there’s no reason for me to be in a bad mood.” The most important thing was that a certain someone had finally been enlightened and responded to him before his patience ran out. Of course, he wouldn’t tell su Yicheng these private things, so as not to become a subject of ridicule for him.

Thinking of Lin Li leaning in his arms in the morning, Zhou han couldn’t help but chuckle.

Although her laughter was very soft, it didn’t escape su Yicheng’s sharp ears on the other end of the phone. He asked, ” “Are you smiling?”

Zhou han took the clothes he was going to change into and walked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the big mirror in the bathroom and indeed had a slight smile on his face.”When did you learn to be so nosy from that brat ye Ziwen?” As she said that, she reached out to grab her hair that was sticking up from her sleep.

This wasn’t like him. Among the three of them, ye Ziwen was the most talkative, so of course, he was the most gossipy. There was a time when he and su Yicheng had a private discussion about whether there was a past life or a present life in this world. They said that ye Ziwen must have been a woman in his past life, so he always had an endless thirst for gossip. Among the three of them, su Yicheng was the most eloquent. He was always gentle and elegant, with a smile on his face, and even if he was harsh, he could say it like a spring breeze. As for him, he was of course the least talkative, and his face was also the coldest. In fact, sometimes he also thought that it was indeed rare for the three of them to become friends.

Upon hearing this, su Yicheng laughed and said, ” “He’s going to be my brother-in-law soon, so we’ve been getting closer recently. It’s not strange to get these temperaments from him.”

Zhou han turned around and stood against the counter. He said, ” you didn’t call me this early in the morning just to spar with me, right? if that’s the case, I’ll admit defeat.

The joke was over, so su Yicheng went straight to the point and said, ” nothing. I called you yesterday but you didn’t pick up. I just wanted to tell you that I saw your wife yesterday.

Zhou han raised his eyebrows. really? ” he asked. then what do you want to tell me? ”

it’s not me. Anran has a few words to say to you.

He subconsciously frowned. what? ” There was a strange feeling in her heart. Was it uneasiness or something else? He was also a little confused.

Su Yicheng didn’t say anything on the other end of the phone. After a while, a soft woman’s voice came through. Hello, is this Zhou han? I’m gu Anran.

“Yes.” Zhou han replied, not sure what she wanted to say to him. what do you want to say to me? ”

“Before I tell you, answer my question.” An ran said on the other end of the phone.

His brows furrowed even more as he asked, ” “What do you want to ask?” She was so nervous that she didn’t even notice that her grip on her phone had tightened.

Anran didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, ” what exactly do you think of Lin Li? is it really like what she said, that the two of them are just cooperating or have feelings for each other? ” She had to first confirm Zhou Han’s feelings. If he didn’t have any feelings for Lin Li at all, then she wouldn’t say much.

“Of course I have feelings!” He answered without thinking. If he didn’t have feelings, he wouldn’t have slept with her. He wasn’t the kind of person who would just sleep with a woman for his physiological needs. If he didn’t even have this bit of self-control and went into heat for his needs, what was the difference between a man and an animal?

He might not be a good person, but he wanted his feelings to be very pure. If he loved someone, he would give everything he had. Even if the end result was that he was riddled with scars, he would not regret it, because it was his own choice. Of course, if he didn’t love her, he wouldn’t have chosen to start. This was the responsibility that a man should have.

Anran heaved a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. If su Yicheng hadn’t told her that Zhou han had gone to him for a drink two days ago to complain and that he knew that his marriage with Lin Li had changed a long time ago, she wouldn’t have made this call.

As if the worry in her heart had finally been put down, Anran was silent for a while before she said, ” Zhou han, Lin Li is very soft-hearted and stubborn. It’s because of her stubbornness that she loved someone who only treated herself as a substitute for 10 years. I don’t know how far you two have progressed, but I hope that if you really have feelings for Lin Li and really want to maintain this marriage normally, then your attitude should be stronger. Don’t let some people and things from the past separate you two.

“You’re saying …”

I asked her out for tea yesterday, and Chengxiang’s mother seemed to be pestering her. Lin Li is my best friend in this life, and I only want her to live a happy life. Ten years of love mistakes have hurt her, and I don’t want her to take the wrong path in love again. If you really treat Lin Li, then you’ll give her a chance to waver. She’s not a cruel person, and I just don’t want her to be forced to agree to something and then regret it in the end. So, if you’re sure of your feelings, then I’ll give you a chance to change your mind, ” Then, please go and pull her to your side. Hold her tightly and don’t let go.” On the other end of the phone, Anran spoke from the bottom of her heart. From the phone call with Chengxiang’s mother yesterday, she could hear the helplessness in Lin Li’s voice. She understood Lin Li, and Lin Li had never been a truly heartless person. If she returned to Chengxiang’s side just because of Chengxiang’s illness, she would not be happy. Her relationship with Chengxiang had already made her so unhappy, and she did not want to see her unhappy like this anymore. What they missed was the Lin Li who was carefree and faced everything with a smile.

Zhou han was silent. He knew that Gu Anran was right. Chengxiang’s mother had been pestering Lin Li and using her 10 years of relationship with Chengxiang to pressure her. But why didn’t she think about what Chengxiang and the Cheng family had brought to Lin Li in the end during those 10 years? how many happy memories did they bring? how much pain did it take for a person to torture herself with food aversion because of a relationship?

Anran continued, ” Lin Li has never wanted much. What she wanted was just a simple relationship. Many people can afford it, and many people can’t. But if she can’t afford it, then she just hopes that it won’t waste her time and waste her feelings. She has already wasted ten years of her life and poured out half of her life’s feelings. Perhaps she hasn’t been able to lift it up and has been wavering, not daring to invite him in. That is just her self-protection. She doesn’t dare to lose again, and she can’t afford to lose.

After a person experienced a huge emotional wound, it would take a lot of courage to take another step forward, even if it was just a small step. She held her feelings in her hands and protected them carefully. This feeling was very heavy. What was heavy was everything she had left. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it and didn’t dare to want it. Zhou han, are you sure you can afford Lin Li’s feelings? If there’s even the slightest bit of hesitation, then Wuwu ”

“I can afford it!” Without waiting for her to finish, Zhou han interrupted her, ” I’m very clear about what I want and what I can give her. She doesn’t want much, but what I can give her is exactly what she wants.

Hearing this, Anran fell silent on the other end of the phone and didn’t speak for a long time.

I will remember what you said just now. I will pull her firmly to my side and not give her a chance to sway. Zhou han said each word clearly as if he was making some kind of oath and promise.

After a moment of silence, Anran finally said, ” treat Lin Li well. Don’t use her as a substitute for anyone. She won’t be able to take it.

“I know,” Zhou han replied.

The two of them didn’t say anything more and hung up the phone. Zhou han stared at the phone in his hand for a long time before he directly called Lin Li. The call was connected very quickly, and without waiting for Lin Li to speak, he directly asked, ” “Where are you?”

“You’re awake.” It seemed to be a little noisy on the other end of the phone, with people coming and going.

“You went to the hospital?” Zhou han asked as he walked out of the bathroom.

“I’ll go back later.” Lin Li answered on the other side of the phone, not forgetting to remind him, ” “I cooked some porridge and kept it warm in the rice cooker. Remember to eat it.”

Zhou han didn’t seem to hear her and only said, ” “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.” Without waiting for Lin Li to react, he hung up the phone.

Lin Li held her phone and looked at it for a long time. She shook her head helplessly, then turned around and walked toward the hospital building.

When Cheng Zheng’s mother saw Lin Li, she excitedly held her hand and didn’t let go for a long time. In fact, what she said was nothing more than those words. She begged her to persuade Cheng Xiang.

Lin Li was a little helpless, but she could only nod and let go of Cheng Zheng’s mother’s hand. She opened the door and entered the ward alone.

Zhou han hurriedly changed his clothes and ran down. When he came down, he realized that he had grabbed his wallet but not his car keys. He couldn’t be bothered to go back up and directly rushed to the side of the street to hail a taxi and drove in the direction of the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Chengxiang’s parents standing outside. The two of them were surprised to see him. you …

Zhou han didn’t look at them and directly walked past them towards the ward. He didn’t listen to the two people behind him to stop him and directly turned the doorknob to open the door and enter.

“Hey, you can’t go in …”

In the ward, Lin Li was sitting on the chair by the bed. When she heard the movement behind her, she turned her head and saw Zhou han standing at the door with a serious expression.

Zhou han also looked at her. His eyes swept past Chengxiang on the bed and returned to Lin Li’s face without stopping. Without saying a word, he strode over to her and reached out to grab her hand. With a strong pull, he pulled her tightly into his arms. His actions were a little overbearing and rough.
