My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 240 - 174 Special Assistant Yang is in such good condition, he should have a girlfriend, right?

Chapter 240: Chapter 174 Special Assistant Yang is in such good condition, he should have a girlfriend, right?

Su Nian unhesitatingly admitted that the child was from another man, and Shen Hanxiu, rather than getting angry, smiled, "So you’re planning to wait for him to come back?"

"Exactly, I won’t marry anyone else but him!"

"Good, then I won’t disturb you any further."

Watching Shen Hanxiu decisively leave, Su Nian thought to herself that if she had known this trick would work so well, she would have moved out earlier.

However, upon closer thought, where exactly had Han Zisheng gone? Maybe he doesn’t even remember her anymore? After so much time, and they were only together for a year.

Perhaps he is already someone else’s husband now.

He was already handsome before, he must be even more charming now, perhaps even more so than Shen Hanxiu? How could such a man be single? Why would he search for or wait for a girl whom he only spent a single year with, especially when he used to dislike her so much...

Every time she spoke to him, he was indifferent and never played with the kids in town, always preferring to lie alone on the grassy sward...

Thinking back on it now, he truly was a quiet and beautiful man.

Now she doesn’t even dare to hope for a reunion, she just wants to know how the people from the past are doing, and then sigh over how things have changed...

After finishing a game, Su Zhen ran out of her room, looked around, and asked, "Mom, where’s Uncle Shen?"

Su Nian came back to her senses and said irritably, "He’s gone."

Su Zhen pouted and complained, "Did you chase him away again?"

"No, he had his own things to attend to."

Only then did Su Zhen show a more pleasant face, "Mom, is Uncle Shen really amazing?" Then she pointed at the light in the toilet that had just been fixed and said, "Look, it only took him a little while to fix the light."

Hearing this, Su Nian grew even more annoyed and told Su Zhen, "Don’t call Uncle Shen over for no reason, okay? Uncle Shen has to work and earn money. You disturb him like this."

"But Uncle Shen has so much money, playing for a while shouldn’t matter." And she knew that Uncle Shen was just next door when she called him.

Su Nian: "...Put your cell phone away, Mom will help you with your homework."

...

Under the night, in a dimly-lit café, the entire hall was filled with soothing music.

In a booth made from rattan dividers, a man and a woman sat facing each other.

The woman sipped from her wine glass and smiled at the man across from her, "If I remember correctly, you are associated with Third Young Master Shen, right?"

"Who I am doesn’t matter. I have approached you today because I want to collaborate with you."

The woman’s eyebrows lifted happily, "Collaborate? Sheng Han is collaborating with our company?"

Yang Zi Chen kept a straight face, "You’re overthinking it. It’s a personal matter. You also want Jing Zan and Lin Weilan to divorce, don’t you?"

Zheng Shiwan examined the man across her with furrowed brows, "Even if I do, what does it have to do with you?"

Yang Zi Chen calmly replied, "My thoughts align with yours."

Zheng Shiwan took a moment before realizing, "You’re interested in Lin Weilan?!"

Yang Zi Chen neither confirmed nor denied: "Interested in hearing my idea?"

"Go ahead."

"It’s simple. You just need to obtain evidence of Jing Zan’s marital betrayal, essentially proof of you and him together. I think Ms. Zheng is a smart person; you should understand what to do."

Zheng Shiwan nodded, "That’s easy enough, but what about after that? Do you think just having evidence of his infidelity will be enough to get a divorce? Jing Zan has a wide network."

Yang Zi Chen smiled, "Just get the evidence and hand it over to me. I’ll take care of the rest."

Zheng Shiwan looked at him skeptically, sensing an infinite charisma in him for a moment...

"I apologize for calling Ms. Zheng out so late; I’ve said what I needed to, I’ll be leaving first."

Zheng Shiwan wanted to say more, but Yang Zi Chen quickly left.

Frustrated, Zheng Shiwan stomped her foot. Just when she thought he was charismatic, it turns out he lacks manners! Calling her out so late without even offering to take her back!

After handling the matters, Yang Zi Chen hurried back home. There was a woman at home, and his steps quickened.

He thought she would be in a bad mood today and sleep till tomorrow morning, but when he got back, the living room light was on, yet no one was to be seen.

After changing his shoes and treading lightly, he realized that almost all the lights were on—in the rooms, in the hallway...

What was this woman doing?

After checking all the guest rooms on the first floor and not finding her, he started heading upstairs when suddenly there was a noise from the kitchen. Walking there, he saw a woman with disheveled hair standing in front of the microwave, with a few unidentifiable black objects next to her.

Yang Zi Chen then realized she hadn’t had dinner, probably because she was hungry and didn’t know how to cook.

Yang Zi Chen didn’t make a sound but walked up behind her, and she didn’t notice.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Ah!"

"Bam—" The plate Wei Lan was holding shattered on the ground.

Turning her head and seeing it was Zi Chen, she calmed her inner panic: "You scared me to death..." While talking, she saw the mess in the kitchen and dared not look at Zi Chen again.

"That... I’ll clean it up later..." Saying so, she crouched down to pick up the pieces on the floor.

She actually thought that Zi Chen wouldn’t come back tonight...

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the fragments on the ground, her wrist was grabbed, and she heard his calm voice: "I’ll take care of it. What would you like to eat?"

Originally, Zi Chen meant well, really worried she might cut her fingers, but it sounded to Wei Lan that he was disparaging her, thinking she’s incompetent and had even messed up his home.

Wei Lan felt embarrassed to trouble him, but she was really hungry herself, so meekly said: "Anything is fine..."

Seeing him take off his jacket, neatly roll up his sleeves, and quickly tidy up her messy kitchen.

"The fumes are strong; why don’t you wait outside?"

His voice was not loud, nor did it carry a hint of impatience—it was considerate, yet it always made Wei Lan feel as if she was in the way.

Dejectedly, she walked out to the spacious living room, looked around at the bright space, listened for any strange sounds before she could relax.

Turning her head to peek at the activities in the kitchen—the sharp sound of the chopping knife, being a woman, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

Yet, from the bottom of her heart, she admired Special Assistant Yang, truly an all-rounder; she really wanted to know if there was anything he couldn’t do.

"Wei Lan." It was the first time he called her name in such a calm manner, yet his heart was pounding.

However, this address was quite ordinary to Wei Lan, who quickly put on her slippers and ran to the kitchen: "What is it, Special Assistant Yang?" She really hoped she could be of some help, to not feel so useless.

"Get the bowls and chopsticks, it’s time to eat."

Wei Lan was very happy, then turned her head and saw the dishes Zi Chen was serving onto the plates, making her mouth water even more.

Zi Chen saw her expression and couldn’t help but smiled.

She had cried so hard this morning, he thought she wouldn’t be in the mood to eat, but it turns out she was still a person who’d scour for food when hungry.

The two sat down to eat together, and Zi Chen felt this finally seemed like a home.

Previously, it was always him alone, ending the meal with the sound of utensils clinking, day after day...

He had already changed the lock on her door this afternoon, but he didn’t want her to move out so soon...

"Why did you turn on so many lights?"

"Ah?" Wei Lan then realized, and nervously explained: "I watched a horror movie this afternoon. It’s too big here, I was scared being alone, I felt like someone was watching me everywhere... so I turned on the lights..."

Zi Chen couldn’t help but smile, realizing she was still in the mood to watch horror movies, maybe he doesn’t have to worry about her too much.

Wei Lan felt she was wasting too much of his electricity, put down her chopsticks and stood up: "I’ll go turn them off now."

He held her back, not wanting her to feel burdened and said: "No need, leave them on, it’s fine. I also keep them on when I’m alone, continue eating."

Indeed, hearing that he does the same sometimes, Wei Lan felt reassured—thinking someone who could afford such a big villa wouldn’t mind the electricity bill.

After eating, Wei Lan still didn’t forget to express her gratitude: "Thanks, Special Assistant Yang, your cooking is really good! I’ve tried learning to cook before, the recipes look simple, but every time it turns out terrible, even I can’t eat it."

Zi Chen said: "Girls don’t need to be good at so many things."

Wei Lan bashfully smiled: "But my mom always says, if a girl can’t even cook, she won’t be able to get married."

Little did she know, Zi Chen straightforwardly said: "Then just find a man who can cook."

"Ah, good men are not so easy to find."

Zi Chen fell silent, thinking, a good man is right in front of you, can’t you see?

Changing the subject, wanting to know more about her, he asked: "Are your parents also here?"

Wei Lan shook her head, "They’re in the countryside, they’re both elementary school teachers, I really admire my parents’ love."

Zi Chen listened quietly as she admiringly said: "They’ve been from the same village since they were little, grew up together, went to the same school from elementary to high school, when it came to university, my dad’s dream was to become a doctor, but not wanting to be separated from my mom, he accompanied her to normal school, it’s been decades, and their love is still so strong, although not wealthy, but truly happy..."

Seeing her eyes turn red, he knew, she was thinking about Jing Zan, yet still restraining her emotions.

"Does your family know about your situation?"

Wei Lan gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "From marriage to divorce, I haven’t even told them, I was supposed to bring Jing Zan home for the New Year’s to make them happy..."

Little did she know the marriage would be so short-lived.

"Is your family urging you to marry?"

Wei Lan nodded vigorously: "Starting from when I was eighteen, my mom started arranging blind dates for me, and now that I’m older, each year when I go back for New Year’s, she sets me up too, it’s so annoying. My mom worries I won’t be able to get married on one hand, and on the other, tells me not to date anyone from outside, saying men from outside aren’t sincere, insisting on finding someone for me whom they know well, all these boys are ones I played with when we were kids, it feels so strange to have blind dates with them!"

Zi Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said: "My family is also pressing me."

What Zi Chen meant was, two people both under pressure to marry, quite suitable together, yet Wei Lan was not on the same line of thought, curiously asking: "Special Assistant Yang, with such good qualifications, you must have a girlfriend, right?"
