Chapter 58: Are You Going to Abandon Me
The two of them slowly looked at each other.
Wang Zhao was the first to lower her eyes. To be honest, she didn’t know what attitude to take towards Chen Fangli now.
The muddled memories made her sense of time a bit blurry. In her memory, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time. The last argument seemed to have happened a long, long time ago.
She patted Li Zhenguan’s back and sighed, saying softly again, “Zhenguan, let go.”
But Li Zhenguan held her tightly and wouldn’t let go. Not only did he not let go, he held her even tighter. His whole being was filled with a sense of panic and unease, as if he was being abandoned.
Of course, Li Zhenguan also knew that the elevator door had opened, but he didn’t look back. He had no intention of looking back, so naturally, he didn’t know that a man was standing in the elevator, the man he despised the most.
At this moment, he was really frightened. He kept shaking his head in refusal as he held Wang Zhao, crying non-stop. In his panic and unease, he didn’t know what to say to make Wang Zhao stay. He could only use tears to try to get a bit of sympathy from her.
It was as if the sword of Damocles hanging over his head had finally fallen. It was impossible for Li Zhenguan not to have noticed Wang Zhao’s unusual behavior from the very beginning. They had been together for so long, and Wang Zhao had decided to marry him so easily. Li Zhenguan couldn’t have been without any doubts.
But he was too happy. The joy made him subconsciously ignore those things that didn’t seem right.
However, after being married for a while, the doubts surrounding Wang Zhao always made him unable to settle down. This was the biggest reason for his insecurity. Perhaps this was why he never questioned Wang Zhao and never had a sense of boundaries after marrying her.
This unease reached a peak after eating that Chaoshan meal. It was the place where he and Wang Zhao had their first blind date dinner. But Wang Zhao acted as if it was her first time there. At that dinner table, Li Zhenguan finally figured out some things.
In fact, he should have realized it long ago. The first time he went to visit Wang Zhao after her car accident, when he entered the hospital room, the way Wang Zhao looked at him was very calm. He should have noticed it then.
But Wang Zhao was too good at hiding things. She didn’t trust most people. Later, when Li Zhenguan thought about it, he wasn’t surprised that a person like Wang Zhao would hide it instead of showing it after losing part of her memory.
And for Li Zhenguan, who already knew the truth, he prayed every day that Wang Zhao would never remember those past things she had forgotten.
Don’t remember his deception and unscrupulousness. Don’t remember the time she spent with Chen Fangli. Don’t remember the love that didn’t belong to him.
He wanted all the romance, humility, and reluctance in Wang Zhao’s memory to belong to him alone.
However, this extravagant dream was destined to be impossible. What he couldn’t get, he would eventually lose. What didn’t belong to him, he would eventually lose.
Li Zhenguan cried uncontrollably, making Wang Zhao’s hardened heart, which had finally risen, soften a little. Her hand paused on Li Zhenguan’s back for a moment. The person in her arms seemed to sense her hesitation, and his arms tightened around her for a moment.
“Wang Zhao, please don’t leave, okay?” Li Zhenguan heard the crying of a baby from the living room as he spoke. His eyes lit up, trying to use the child to stop Wang Zhao from leaving. “Besides, Wenwen is not even six months old… Do you not want him either?”
At this point, he was sobbing. Tears filled his entire face, and his eyes were red beyond recognition. His hands were clutching the hem of Wang Zhao’s clothes.
This appearance was really humble, so humble that it made one’s heart ache.
Through the open elevator door, Chen Fangli watched for a while, his face growing colder.
It was really a bit of an eyesore.
Hearing the baby’s cries and the man’s sobs, Chen Fangli couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
As the elevator was about to close, he pressed the open button again. As if he didn’t see the entangled and struggling couple at the door, he spoke without changing his expression.
“If you don’t come in, the elevator door will close.”
Wang Zhao raised her head and looked over, frowning. Chen Fangli speaking up at this time was just asking for trouble.
Li Zhenguan also heard this voice. His body stiffened for a moment, then he suddenly turned his head to look behind him. When he saw the man in the elevator, his face turned deathly pale.
He took a step back, as if he realized something. He suddenly looked at the woman in front of him with an incredulous expression.
Wang Zhao knew what Li Zhenguan was thinking as soon as she saw his expression.
Li Zhenguan’s expression clearly showed that he thought Chen Fangli’s appearance here was because she had called him over. He thought that since she had regained her memory, she had reconciled with this man.
In fact, if it were any other time, it would be unlikely for him to just think about it. But Li Zhenguan was in a state of extreme unease right now. He couldn’t think that deeply. He could only see what was on the surface.
Chen Fangli’s appearance in this place was the ironclad evidence.
Li Zhenguan was caught in his own logic, believing that Wang Zhao was going to abandon him and didn’t even want their child anymore. Otherwise, why would Chen Fangli appear here? This man showing up here was to embarrass him, to get revenge on him, to take away his wife.
Her head started to hurt, this time it was a physical pain. After all, she had come back to recuperate. Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. This argument made her head hurt like it was being pricked by needles.
However, she felt that this time, this matter couldn’t just be let go. Li Zhenguan needed to be taught a lesson. This man’s guts were sometimes too big. Even now, when Wang Zhao thought back to the night she met Li Zhenguan at the bar, her face would still darken.
When she first met Li Zhenguan, he seemed to be a very well-behaved young man. He spoke softly and gently, looking delicate. At first glance, he was the kind of good boy who had been spoiled by his parents growing up.
Wang Zhao initially thought so too, at least during their first blind date. At that time, Li Zhenguan seemed to be an introverted person. He would blush after saying a few words. They had only interacted for a short time, but Wang Zhao felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Because sometimes Li Zhenguan was too familiar with some of her preferences, even though they were just casual acquaintances and hadn’t met many times. To put it bluntly, even Zhang Ke wasn’t very clear about some of her preferences. Sometimes Wang Zhao felt that Li Zhenguan understood her better than her own father.
