"Qian Lan, you don't need to come all the way here to explain things to me. I'm not angry," Mo Zichen replied. "Plus, family is indeed more important to me. You shouldn't get into a fight with your parents because of someone you don't know well."
As soon as Mo Zichen said this, Qian Lan felt even worse.
Because, every word that he said made it seem like he was a bystander. He never imagined that a woman like her had waited for so long because she was afraid that he would be angry.
"I understand …" Qian Lan mumbled. "I'm glad you're not angry. I'm going to leave now. Thank you for the jacket."
"I'll walk you out …"
"No need," Qian Lan said before she left. After speaking, Qian Lan quickly walked away. However, after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Mo Zichen. "I originally thought that I would be different in your heart. But, in the end, I'm no different than anyone else."
"Sorry!"
Qian Lan shook her head. There was nothing to apologize for. Some people were only found out after trying.
She originally thought that because of their identities, she could close the gap between them. But, if Mo Zichen wasn't interested in her, then no matter how hard she tried, it would be a waste of effort.
Forget it … forget it, stop embarrassing yourself!
After the drama, Qian Lan returned home to find Mother Qian waiting for her in the living room. Seeing that her daughter was in a daze, Mother Qian's heart ached, "Lan Er, can't you stop your mother from worrying? What's so good about a poor kid like him? "
"If you're going to interfere with everything in my life, then I might as well die." Qian Lan couldn't stand the fact that her life was being controlled by her family. "Mom, if you don't believe me, you can try me."
After speaking, Qian Lan rubbed her nose, "You don't need to worry, I won't be seeing Mo Zichen anymore … because he doesn't even like me!"
After speaking, Qian Lan weakly returned to her room and collapsed onto her bed.
She didn't understand why she was born into a family like this and why she had such controlling parents. All she wanted was a normal relationship and a normal life.
…
The next day, Qian Lan and Mo Zichen ran into each other in the school cafeteria. This was something that had never happened before.
The two of them tacitly avoided each other's eyes and found a place to sit down and eat.
Seeing the awkwardness between Qian Lan and Mo Zichen, Mo Zichen's friend guessed the ending between the two. So, she picked up her tray and sat down opposite Qian Lan comfortingly, "I told you a long time ago that you guys don't walk the same path. Look at how awkward you've become."
"I still like him, but he doesn't like me," Qian Lan replied.
"What did you say? You mean, he dumped you? " His friend was furious. "This poor boy doesn't know what's good for him. Doesn't he know that he has missed out on the mayor's daughter?"
"That's because you didn't know that my sister brought money to humiliate him," Qian Lan sneered.
"No wonder." Mo Zichen's friend understood because his father-in-law's family was too aggressive. "What do you plan to do now? You cried a lot last night, right? His eyes are still swollen. "
"I don't know either." Qian Lan shook her head. "Perhaps I should believe in fate. I should listen to my parents, go on a blind date, get married and never return to that family again."
"Does that mean you've decided to give up on Mo Zichen?"
Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen from afar as her heart ached. But, as long as Mo Zichen showed even the slightest bit of love, she would persist until the end. But …
She had no idea how difficult it was for Mo Zichen. As an intelligence officer, he had signed a confidentiality agreement that no one was allowed to reveal his identity. So, to Qian Lan, he was like a partner that could disappear at any time. What was the point of having a partner like that?
To make herself forget, Qian Lan immersed herself in work. But, for some reason, after explaining things to Mo Zichen, she became more concerned about his movements.
This was how the human heart worked. The more people disliked you, the more you wanted them.
Meanwhile, Mo Zichen's life continued as usual. He attended classes during the day, carried out missions at night and slept whenever he had free time.
As for Qian Lan's phone number, it had been a long time since he last contacted her.
Perhaps, she would soon forget about this unhappy time.
…
A while later, Nangong Cai arrived at the university. Mo Zichen had just finished class. As soon as he saw a familiar face, he smiled, "Why did you suddenly come looking for me?"
"I was passing by, so I dropped by. Aren't you going to treat me to lunch?" Nangong Cai laughed. She was no longer the Little Eggshell from before. The Nangong Cai in front of him had grown into a natural and unrestrained person.
"Let's go," Mo Zichen put away his textbooks and walked along the campus with Nangong Cai.
"You disappeared for 5 years. Where have you been during that time?"
"Can I not ask you anything?" Mo Zichen asked. "I don't want to talk about the past."
"I know. I'm afraid no one can tell what you're thinking," Nangong Cai replied, even though there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the school. But, they soon became the topic of conversation for many of the teachers.
After all, Mo Zichen didn't have a strong background. How did he know someone that was like a heiress?
It was also around this time that Qian Lan heard that Mo Zichen left the university with a long-legged beauty. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It turned out, Mo Zichen had better options even if he didn't accept her.
Of course, she had only heard about them and never expected to actually meet them.
After the two ate lunch, Nangong Cai sent Mo Zichen back to school, "Can I visit you more often from now on?"
"As long as I'm here, you're welcome."
Nangong Cai nodded her head in satisfaction and hugged Mo Zichen, "I miss you and your brother a lot."
"You can visit him at the military base."
Mo Zichen simply stood there without moving and did not respond.
But, Nangong Cai was already used to it.
Plus, she knew that Mo Zichen didn't have any romantic feelings for her …
…
Qian Lan went to the secondary school to get some information and bumped into Mo Zichen and Nangong Cai together. The two looked very close, like they had known each other for a long time. This made Qian Lan feel hurt.
But, Nangong Cai immediately noticed her unusual gaze.
So, she laughed, "Are you related to that female teacher?"
Mo Zichen laughed, "Did you notice?"
"It's written all over your face … What? Did you make her sad? "Nangong Cai asked in amusement.
