Chapter 231: Chapter 224: Garden Villa
Honeymoon?
Bai Yiran suddenly thought of that day more than a year ago, when Leng Yichen also suddenly mentioned going on a honeymoon. At that time, she still loved him deeply, trusted him, and relied on him. But after returning, everything changed. Her factory caught fire, the company collapsed. Then she lost contact with Leng Yichen, followed by the silent treatment, then Leng Yichenâs affair, then their divorce, and then that unbearable period...
Bai Yiran felt somewhat puzzled by the term honeymoon, and she believed that there was absolutely no need for it given her current relationship with Leng Yichen.
"Weâve remarried, shouldnât we now start preparing to adopt Xiao Lang?" After all, this was the reason Bai Yiran agreed to remarry Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichenâs good mood was instantly brought back to reality by Bai Yiranâs words, "First get in the car."
They were at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau; Bai Yiran watched the people coming in and out and knew it was not wise to argue with Leng Yichen here, so she obediently got in the car.
The car started and headed in the direction of the airport.
"The situation with Xiao Lang is quite special. Although he is a Chinese child, he lives in a foreign welfare institution. So, handling the adoption is a rather complicated and troublesome process." Leng Yichen spoke while observing Bai Yiranâs reaction. Seeing her face filled with worry, he continued, "However, Iâve already arranged for someone to handle it, so you donât need to worry."
Only then did Bai Yiranâs expression soften, but Leng Yichen furrowed his brows.
"Bai Yiran, youâre willing to remarry me for that child, I really want to know to what extent youâre capable! If there were someone else who could help you adopt that child, would you marry him too!"
Bai Yiran was stunned by Leng Yichenâs question; she had never thought about this. When she learned that Xiao Lang was about to be adopted by someone else, the first person that popped into her mind was Leng Yichen.
She was startled by her own thought. It turns out that even now, the first person she reflexively thought of when faced with difficulties was still him.
Bai Yiran lowered her head in contemplation, as Leng Yichen didnât get an answer, he suddenly turned the wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road, "Qiao Jie warned me not to provoke you! But Bai Yiran, I really want to know, is there still a place for me in your heart? Please tell me truthfully!"
Leng Yichen suddenly pressed closer, and Bai Yiran instinctively clenched her fists, her heart flustered.
"Forget it!" Without waiting for Bai Yiranâs answer, Leng Yichen restarted the car and continued driving toward the airport.
The atmosphere in the car became subtle and tense; for a moment, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
Silence... silence...
"Yes..."
Bai Yiranâs voice was as faint as a mosquitoâs, yet Leng Yichen heard it loud and clear. He pressed the accelerator, heading swiftly toward the airport.
Suzhou, Bai Yiran hadnât expected Leng Yichen to bring her to this place again. The difference was that during their last visit, they stayed in a hotel, but this time Leng Yichen had bought a garden villa.
Bai Yiran was captivated by the villaâs ancient and elegant style. Just as they were about to stand at the entrance, the door was opened from the inside.
A man stood inside, smiling at them cheerfully.
Bai Yiran recognized this person; it was Leng Yichenâs high school classmate, the psychologist Qiao Jie!
