After Jian Dan left Qin Corporation, she returned to her own home.
She had not gone back there after marrying Chu Liyuan. She inserted the key into the keyhole⦠turned it⦠opened the door and enteredâ¦
She had once heard the saying that happiness was to knock on the door when one returned home, not to reach for the cold key.
Would she still have such happiness?
Perhaps it was because no one had lived in the house for a long time, so the house looked very cold.
She picked up the photograph of her grandmother and her in the living room. In the photograph, her grandmotherâs smile was kind and beautiful.
A tear fell and hit the photo frame, but it could not stop her grandmotherâs smile. Her grandmotherâs smile gave Jian Dan some strength.
Perhaps this was not a bad thing. At the very least, she did not have to worry about her grandmother not approving of her marriage.
She placed the photo frame back on the cabinet and went into the room.
Without taking a shower, she collapsed on the bed. She had never been so tired in her life. She fell asleep in a daze, so much so that she did not even notice her cell phone had been turned off because it was out of battery.
When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. She did not expect to sleep for so long.
She dragged her tired body to the bathroom to wash up. Just as she was brushing her teeth, there was a knock on the doorâ¦
Who would know about this place? Was Granny back? But why didnât Granny call her in advance?
She picked up her cell phone and saw that it was switched off. âWhen did the battery go out? Why didnât I notice?â She muttered softly.action
The knocking continued, and the sound grew louder.
âComing!â Granny must have been angry because she did not pick up the phone.
She jogged to the door and opened itâ¦
However, she did not expect that the person standing outside the door wasâ¦
Jian Danâwho was suddenly huggedâwas at a loss.
How could it be Uncle?!
âWhy did you suddenly run back here? Do you know how anxious I was when you suddenly disappeared and I couldnât get through to your cell phone? Do you know that Iâve been looking for you like crazy the entire night?â
âMy phone died.â
âDied? Why didnât you charge it?â
âI didnât know!â
âYou didnât know? You stayed out all night. Donât you even know to call at the very least?â
âI forgot. Iâm sorry!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âForgot? Youâ¦â
Seeing Jian Danâs eyes turn increasingly red and moist, Chu Liyuan felt his heart clench. He could not bring himself to say what he wanted to say.
âJian Jian, why are you crying? Have you forgotten that I told you that your tears are like sulfuric acid? It breaks my heart every time you shed a drop!â He wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of Jian Danâs eyesâ¦
âJian Jian, whatâs wrong?â Because he was so anxious, he did not notice Jian Danâs emotions just now. Now, he realized that Jian Danâs eyes were swollen; she must have been crying for a long time. His heart hurt even more at the thought of this!
âActually, Iâm very strong. Itâs just that I appear weak in front of you.â
âJian Jian, what are you talking about?â
âI just want to tell you that Iâm actually very strong. You donât have to be afraid of hurting me by not telling me. I can understand and accept it!â
Chu Liyuan was confused by Jian Danâs words. What exactly was Jian Jian talking about?
âJian Jian, are you sick?â He took a step forward and touched Jian Danâs forehead. âYou donât have a fever. Why are you spouting nonsense?â
âI saw it!â
âWhat did you see?â
âWei Qianyi! I saw you with her. Donât worry, I know I canât compare to her. Iâll leave!â
âThe h*ll youâll leave!â He flicked Jian Danâs forehead heavilyâ¦
âIt hurts!â
âItâs good that it hurts so that you wonât forget it!â
âQianyi is my comrade in arms. Sheâs helping me in the CEOâs Office now. She and I are not what you think!â
âBut⦠but if thatâs not the case, why wonât you touch me?â
He knew itâft must have had something to do with what happened that night.. It seemed that he could onlyâ¦
