Wang Zhao and Li Zhenguan’s initial blind date was actually in a restaurant that served Chaoshan cuisine. Later, the two of them went there again, but at that time, Wang Zhao had lost some of her memories, so she didn’t notice anything amiss. Li Zhenguan had concealed it too well and didn’t show any signs of abnormality in front of her.

Perhaps she was too foolish. Thinking of this, Wang Zhao closed her eyes, her hand resting on her eyelids, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. She was so foolish that she had been deceived for a year without discovering any clues. Maybe she had discovered it, but every time she didn’t think too deeply about it.

In the evening, Li Zhenguan came over, holding the child.

Wang Wen happened to be coming to the hospital for a vaccination, so Li Zhenguan simply brought him over to see Wang Zhao. To say that he had no other considerations, he himself wouldn’t believe it. He just hoped that because of this child, Wang Zhao wouldn’t despise him.

Zhang Ke was a bit surprised, “Why did you bring Wen Wen over?” He took the baby from Li Zhenguan’s hands and looked at the little one with round eyes turning everywhere in the swaddling clothes. He felt that the fatigue of the day had lessened a bit and couldn’t help but tease the little one.

Li Zhenguan glanced at Wang Zhao on the bed. She seemed to be resting and didn’t look over. He pursed his lips and smiled, “When I was coming over, I remembered that Wen Wen’s vaccination was just around these days, so I brought him along.”

Zhang Ke lifted the little garment and looked. On the lotus root-like arms, there was a small red dot, which was obviously from the injection. His heart ached, “Oh, this must have made him cry a lot.”

Li Zhenguan smiled without saying anything. Of course, he cried a lot, opening those black eyes with teardrops falling one after another.

Zhang Ke’s heart ached and said to Li Zhenguan, “You still have work these days, so don’t bring Wen Wen over. There are more bacteria in the hospital, and children’s resistance is already poor. It’s better to let Wen Wen stay at home. If you can’t take care of him, let your Uncle Yang watch him for a while.”

Li Zhenguan looked towards Wang Zhao on the bed.

Zhang Ke raised his eyes slightly and said to Li Zhenguan, “The doctor said there’s nothing serious. If there are no issues, she can be discharged and go home to recuperate in a week. I think so too. When Wang Zhao’s body has recovered enough in a few days, let her go home. Staying in the hospital is a waste of public resources.”

Li Zhenguan made a sound of acknowledgment but didn’t leave. Instead, he said, “Then, Dad, let me stay here tonight to take care of her. You’ve been tired enough for a whole night.”

Zhang Ke looked back at the person on the bed and didn’t object.

After he left, Li Zhenguan sat beside the bed and called out to Wang Zhao, but Wang Zhao didn’t respond.

So the ward became quiet again.

A week later, Wang Zhao was discharged from the hospital and returned to the house on Golden Avenue. She was discharged in the afternoon and arrived home around three o’clock.

Li Zhenguan asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

“Anything is fine. No need to go to too much trouble.” She went back to her room first, leaving Li Zhenguan standing alone in the living room.

Uncle Yang felt that the atmosphere between the young wife and husband was a bit off, so he lowered his presence a bit, hugged the baby, and returned to his own room.

Li Zhenguan stood alone in the living room for a while before collecting his emotions and going to the kitchen.

However, when he came out, he found that Wang Zhao had changed into a different set of clothes and was holding a small suitcase, seeming to be going out.

Li Zhenguan was stunned on the spot. At this moment, his whole being seemed to be torn into countless pieces, and there were countless voices in his ears saying: She’s going to leave you.

She doesn’t want you anymore, nor does she want your child.

She knows that you schemed against her.

Knows that you’re not as simple as you appear on the surface.

…

So many voices were whispering in his ears, denying Wang Zhao’s feelings for him.

Wang Zhao also met Li Zhenguan’s gaze. Actually, she didn’t know what to say either. Now, everything was already set in stone, and it seemed that the best solution was to keep everything the same as before, without any changes.

But Wang Zhao couldn’t get over it in her heart. She didn’t like being confused, so she needed to think some things through.

Moreover, she really didn’t know how to treat Li Zhenguan, so for the first time, she, who had never been afraid of difficulties, had the idea of running away.

“The unit has a business trip recently.” This was the excuse Wang Zhao came up with. “I need to go out for a while.”

This was a confusing matter that couldn’t be easily sorted out, so she needed to think it through properly, without anyone’s interference, just by herself.

How could Li Zhenguan possibly believe Wang Zhao’s excuse? He walked in front of Wang Zhao and looked straight at her. His lips were pressed tightly, his whole body tense, and the smile on his face a bit forced, “Weren’t you hungry? Eat something first before we talk.”

Wang Zhao sighed. She wasn’t that heartless, so her voice softened a bit, “Zhenguan, while I’m away, the two of us can calm down and think things through.”

The young man didn’t move, stubbornly blocking Wang Zhao’s path. A pair of bright eyes tinged with tears just looked at her like this, as if once she walked out that door, their relationship would never have a chance again.

That was what Li Zhenguan believed.

He was a stubborn person. Once he walked into a dead end, it was difficult for him to walk out on his own. Now he was convinced that Wang Zhao wanted to break up with him and abandon him.

So he wouldn’t let her pass.

He would rather die than let her pass.

Wang Zhao looked at Li Zhenguan for a while like this, then picked up her suitcase and walked around him directly to the entrance, ready to change her shoes and go out, but Li Zhenguan hugged her.

“You just want to abandon me.” Li Zhenguan’s hands tightly hugged Wang Zhao, afraid that she would leave in the next moment. He knew that she should have already remembered some things. The only reason she had agreed to get married so readily before was because she had forgotten some things.

He said, “I was wrong about what happened before. I shouldn’t have lied to you. I shouldn’t have done those things. But, Zhao, if I hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t be with me.”

Wang Zhao didn’t want to hear those words.

She reached out her hand to twist Li Zhenguan’s arm and opened the door to go out. Li Zhenguan turned around and suddenly blocked the elevator door. Tears immediately spilled out from his eyes.

In this situation, he really didn’t know how to make her stay. Tears were his greatest weapon now.

Even Uncle Yang heard the sound and walked out of the room holding the child. He saw the two people in a stalemate at the elevator entrance.

Li Zhenguan’s face was covered in tears. Wang Zhao’s outfit looked like she was about to leave home. This had really blown up.

Maybe sensing something, the child in his arms also started crying loudly at this moment. The sound penetrated the entire house.

Li Zhenguan suddenly woke up and said to Wang Zhao, “Zhao, Wen Wen is only half a year old, still so young. He can’t bear to part with you either.”

Wang Zhao glanced at Uncle Yang and told him to take the child back into the room. Uncle Yang hesitated a little, his feet moving a few steps, still looking at Li Zhenguan. He was a bit hesitant, wondering if he should call Mr. Yang and tell him about this matter.

This young couple had escalated to this extent. It seemed that it wasn’t some small matter.

Wang Zhao turned her head, feeling a bit helpless. She touched the corner of Li Zhenguan’s eye and said gently, “Zhenguan, I’m not going to abandon you and our son. We’re just going to calm down. You can still bring the child to see me. If there’s anything, you can also call. I’m just going out to stay for a few days to think about some things. It won’t be too long.”

Li Zhenguan’s tears kept flowing. He hugged Wang Zhao’s waist and refused to let go no matter what.

And at this moment, the elevator outside the door also arrived on this floor. Under Wang Zhao’s gaze, the elevator door opened, and a person stood inside.

Chen Fangli.

Seeing the situation outside, the man seemed to furrow his brows slightly. After meeting Wang Zhao’s gaze, he slowly shifted his gaze to the man in her arms, then lowered it and noticed the suitcase in Wang Zhao’s hand.
