After the flash marriage, she became Mr. Zhan's favorite

She asked, "Do you know Zhan Lichen?" Xiao Lan said, "Of course she knows him, he is really ruthless."

Zhan Lichen said, "I'll pick you up when I'm done with my work," instead of "I'll pick you up."

Xiao Lan said that they had been in love for three years, and then he turned around and married another girl whom he had just known for a few days.

Every word is true and solid.

Yu Nuan raised her eyes and saw Xiao Lan picked up another bottle of wine and drank it down.

She wanted to reach out to stop it, but her hands seemed to be out of control and she was shaking so much that she couldn't lift them.

An idea suddenly occurred to her.

Thinking back to their first time together, he had guided the young and ignorant her with great patience, tenderness, affection, and persuasion.

No matter how you look at it, he is an experienced veteran.

Everyone has a past, and she didn't mind his past, but the accusations made by the girl in front of her made Yu Nuan feel disappointed.

After three years of dating, he just broke up and married another woman.

Ruthless and heartless.

She doesn't care if he has an ex-girlfriend, she cares if he has a heart.

If he treats others like this today, will he treat her like this tomorrow?

The answer is obvious.

Frames of images flashed through Yu Nuan’s mind.

The smiling Zhan Lichen, the frowning Zhan Lichen, the Zhan Lichen who cooked for her, the Zhan Lichen who whispered sweet nothings in her ear, the Zhan Lichen who sweated profusely on her body...

It was so clear and beautiful, but now it suddenly feels a little unreal.

She told herself that she must have misunderstood, and maybe the person the girl was talking about was someone else and not her husband, Zhan Lichen.

She forced herself to believe that Zhan Lichen was not an ungrateful man.

Yu Nuan raised her heavy eyes to look at the girl in front of her. She was pretty, thin, and had a distracted and unfocused look, like a rose swaying in the wind and rain.

She stared at the wine on the table and suddenly wanted to get drunk, but she couldn't because she knew her alcohol tolerance.

One bottle will make you a little tipsy, two bottles will make you clear-minded and oblivious to everything else.

She also wanted to see how Zhan Lichen would treat them differently when he came.

Old love and new love? Or white moonlight and cinnabar mole?

Time passes by every second, and every second feels like a year.

She finally waited for Zhan Lichen to come.

From the moment he entered the room, Yu Nuan's eyes were fixed on his facial expressions and body movements.

He frowned and looked at Xiao Lan who was sleeping on the sofa, then looked at the several empty wine bottles lying in disorder on the table.

He said in a deep voice: "She drank all of it? Didn't I ask you to stop her?"

Yu Nuan tried hard to open her mouth, but in the end, no word came out.

She saw Zhan Lichen holding up Xiao Lan, and he didn't know whether he was saying to the person in his arms or to her: "Let's go home."

She felt like her legs were filled with lead and she couldn't move.

Zhan Lichen seemed to notice that she hadn't followed him, so he turned around and said to her, "Why are you standing there? Go home."

Yu Nuan suddenly wanted to laugh. He never spoke to her like this before, unless he was very angry.

She tried to lift her legs and moved forward with difficulty.

Zhan Lichen put Xiao Lan on the back seat, let her lie there, and found a pillow under her head.

Careful and gentle.

Yu Nuan looked at the back seat for a long time. She didn't want to get too close to Zhan Lichen, but there was no seat left for her.

Zhan Lichen didn't speak to her along the way. Yu Nuan secretly glanced at him and saw that he looked towards the back row from time to time.

Yu Nuan felt that the air was suffocating and she couldn't breathe, so she rolled down the window on her side of the car to let in more oxygen.

Turn your head toward the window.

Familiar streets, familiar intersections, she has lived in this city for twenty-four years.

Everything seems so familiar, but why does it feel a little strange tonight?

She thought it must be because of the rain.

The dim street lights and the drizzle like needles make the city seem to be trapped in an unreal world.

Yu Nuan stretched her hand out of the window to feel the drizzling rain, and suddenly remembered a painting her mother had when she was a child, which seemed to depict just such rain.

She still remembered that the entire tone of the picture was gray, the sky was gray, and the earth was gray.

In the gray, silky drizzle, a little girl in a red dress was dancing in the rain.

She was five years old when she saw this painting. The depressing grayness and the bright red in the picture formed a sharp contrast.

One glance and you'll never forget it.

Where is the painting now, she doesn't know.

Many of the paintings left behind by her mother were secretly sold by Li Xiuying, and now she doesn't have a single painting of her mother.

Yu Nuan felt sad that she didn't even have anything to think about left.

She tilted her head back, trying not to let the tears fall. If she didn't let them fall, no one would know she was crying.

"What's wrong with you?" the man next to him suddenly asked.

Yu Nuan didn't turn around or look at him, she just said weakly: "The rain fell into my eyes."

"Don't stick your head out of the window, it's dangerous."

"it is good."

The answer was crisp and clear, as if nothing had happened in his mind.

After parking the car, Zhan Lichen still carried Xiao Lan upstairs, and Yu Nuan followed from a distance behind.

Zhan Lichen arranged Xiao Lan to stay in the room next to theirs. Xiao Lan was probably so drunk that she didn't wake up during the whole journey.

Zhan Lichen found a clean towel and wet it with water to help Xiao Lan wipe her hands and face. Yu Nuan stared at his movements and finally couldn't help but said: "Let me wipe her."

She wanted to say that you are a man after all.

Zhan Lichen looked at her and said, "No, go take a shower first."

Yu Nuan turned around and tears fell without warning. She thought, just cry, no one will notice anyway.

I kept crying while taking a shower, as if I couldn't control it.

The last time she cried like this was when Jiang Yi broke up with her.

It’s been more than four years.

More than four years have passed, and she thought to herself with self-mockery that she still hasn't made any progress. Even the reason for her tears is the same, only the man is different.

After taking a shower, she quietly blew her hair dry. While doing so, she suddenly thought of the way Zhan Lichen used to blow her hair.

His large, bony hands passed through her hair.

I felt depressed.

When I passed by the next room on my way back to my room, I saw Zhan Lichen sitting beside Xiaolan's bed with his head down and no expression on his face.

Yu Nuan turned her head away, unwilling to look or think about it anymore, and forced herself to leave quickly.

Maybe I slept too much in the afternoon, and now I am tossing and turning in bed and can’t fall asleep.

She counted sheep in her mind, from one to one thousand but couldn't fall asleep, so she counted from one to one thousand again, and she didn't remember how many times she repeated one thousand, but finally she fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, she was still thinking that there was nothing she couldn't do if she pushed herself hard enough.

But she couldn't sleep well after all. When she felt herself falling into someone's arms, her mind suddenly started and her consciousness gradually became clear from the chaos.

Her back stiffened instinctively and her hands clenched into fists.

"what happened to you?"

A man's voice came to my ears.

The voice was still deep and seductive, but not pleasant enough.

Yu Nuan shook her head.

"I always feel like something is wrong with you tonight." He spoke again.

Yu Nuan didn't want to talk.

"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked again.

Yu Nuan whispered: "My mouth hurts."

There was no sound overhead.

Yu Nuan thought that this excuse really worked every time.

I just don't know how long it will last.
