Chapter 246

Xia Ruoan's eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Han, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I wondered in my heart: How did he appear here? And what about the scars on his face?

Not to mention Xia Ruoan, even the other people around were surprised when they saw this scene.

At this time, someone couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, you actually called Brother Zhao here as well? But logically speaking, there shouldn't be any traces of orchids here!"

Elder Wen shook his head slowly and replied softly, "It wasn't me who asked him to come here, but he asked to come here on his own initiative."

In fact, at first, Mr. Wen was also quite confused about this matter, but when he noticed the clearly visible slap mark on Zhao Han's face and the wound on his forehead that had not yet healed, he instantly understood the reason.

I think it is most likely because the couple had a quarrel, so Zhao Han chose to go out and hide.

The other people present also obviously noticed the clues. Qiao Yu seemed a little embarrassed and didn't even dare to look directly at Zhao Han.

You know, the tense relationship between Zhao Han and his wife has a lot to do with his sister Qiao Xin.

At this moment, Zhao Han walked up to Xia Ruoan and thanked him sincerely: "Ruoan, thank you so much. It is thanks to your help in contacting your eldest brother that Changan can see a doctor."

Xia Ruo'an quickly waved his hands and responded with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, you are too serious. As long as the child is fine, it's fine."

"This is an ointment specially made for treating external injuries. It was carefully prepared by my eldest brother. It is very effective and can make wounds heal faster."

As Xia Ruoan spoke, he carefully took out a bottle of medicine with a faint herbal aroma from his backpack and gently handed it to the person in front of him.

She then added: "It would be better for you to ask other brothers to help you apply it."

After saying that, Xia Ruoan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes clear and calm, and she didn't seem to want to ask about the reason for the other party's injury.

Because even without asking, with her intelligence and keen insight, it is not difficult to guess the general idea.

At this moment, Zhao Han suddenly turned his head and looked at the towering mountain in the distance. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked Xia Ruoan, "Ruoan, how on earth were you able to let Zhou Mufan go so easily back then?"

Hearing this question, Xia Ruo'an was startled at first, then he sighed softly and answered with a gloomy look in his eyes: "In fact, it is not as easy to let go as you think. It took a long time of suffering and struggle before I slowly let go of this relationship."

"As early as two years ago, I had already thought about ending it, but at that time I still had a glimmer of hope that maybe I could still get by."

"But in the end, he ruthlessly pushed me away, and I completely gave up." At this point, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but bite his lower lip, trying hard to control the emotions surging in his heart.

"So that's how it is..." Zhao Han muttered to himself, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He really didn't expect that there was such a complicated mental journey hidden behind the matter.

Thinking back to the time when he ran into Zhou Mufan in the hospital not long ago, he felt mixed emotions.

At that time, he saw Zhou Mufan taking his young daughter to see a doctor. He looked haggard and tired, completely different from the young man who was full of vigor and vitality, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

I'm sure Zhou Mufan must be regretting it now.

"The last time I took Chang'an to the hospital for vaccination, I happened to meet Zhou Mufan. He was also accompanying his child for the injection. At that time, he had completely lost his former charm, and his face was full of traces of the vicissitudes of life."

Zhao Han spoke softly, revealing a hint of regret in his words.

Zhao Han looked at Xia Ruoan's calm face and speculated secretly in his heart.

Zhou Mufan might have regretted it. However, Xia Ruoan seemed indifferent after hearing the news.

For her, the man who once made her heart beat has long become a thing of the past.

During these two long years, whenever Nan Yi mentioned the Zhou family, she always carefully avoided the topic, fearing that it would cause her discomfort or embarrassment. But in fact, Xia Ruo'an had already completely let go of this relationship.

Now, her heart and eyes are filled with her lovely children and the vibrant vegetable garden at home.

In addition, the growing friendship between her and Leng Zexi also occupies an important place in her life.

It has to be said that Leng Zexi was really considerate and accommodating to her, making her feel unprecedented warmth and care.

"Really? I haven't heard any news about him in the past two years." Xia Ruoan's tone was calm, as if he was talking about an unrelated passerby.

Indeed, since the moment of the breakup, she resolutely chose to let go and buried the past deep in her heart.

To her, Zhou Mufan was just a familiar yet strange existence. Even if they met by chance one day, she hoped that they would be strangers to each other and there would be no need to even say hello.

"I once heard a saying: After breaking up, boyfriends and girlfriends should treat each other as if they were dead, and no longer have any connection or concern with each other. This is the best option."

Xia Ruoan paused, then said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I'll go over first."

After saying that, she smiled and nodded slightly to Zhao Han, then turned and left, leaving behind an elegant back.

When Zhao Han heard his own self-mockery, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a bitter and helpless smile.

He slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the screen of the mobile phone held tightly in his hand.

It displayed the WeChat message that Qiao Xin had just sent. Every word seemed like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.

"Qiao Xin..." Zhao Han murmured the name softly, feeling mixed emotions.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and typed out a line of words with trembling fingers: "Qiao Xin, let's not contact each other anymore. It's over between us a long time ago."

Then, he pressed the send button without hesitation.

Then, as if he wanted to cut off all ties with the past, he resolutely deleted Qiao Xin from his friend list and blacklisted her phone number.

After doing all this, Zhao Han leaned weakly on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and his mind kept flashing through every detail of his time with Qiao Xin.

He once thought that as long as he didn't let Shangguan Lan know that he still cared about Qiao Xin, then this relationship could be buried deep in his heart.

However, the truth could not be hidden, and Shangguan Lan discovered it all. Looking back now, Zhao Han couldn't help but feel that his original thoughts were too naive.

"I was really wrong..." Zhao Han muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have been nice to Qiao Xin out of a moment of weakness, but ended up making things so complicated."

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have become the person he hated the most - hypocritical and cowardly.

And Shangguan Lan was right, he was indeed a complete hypocrite.

Thinking of this, Zhao Han suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"It's time to let it go. If I continue to be entangled like this, I'm afraid I will become the second Zhou Mufan!" He secretly warned himself that he must completely get rid of this past and start a new life.

Bai Shuang gently helped Xia Ruo'an zip up her backpack, then asked with concern, "What did Zhao Han say to you? Did he blame you for anything?"

Xia Ruoan shook her head gently, her long, silky hair swaying gently, and she responded softly, "No, not only did he not blame me, but he was especially grateful to me for helping me contact my eldest brother and contributing to Chang'an's treatment."

After a pause, Xia Ruoan continued, "By the way, he also mentioned that he met Zhou Mufan, and it is said that Zhou Mufan's condition is not very optimistic now." After saying that, Xia Ruoan turned his head and looked at Bai Shuang.

When Bai Shuang heard this, her beautiful eyebrows could not help but slightly frowned, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.

She sighed and analyzed, "In my opinion, Zhao Han must have regretted it! Back then, he and Shangguan Lan got their marriage certificate just because of the child."

"But even so, he actually gave Qiao Xin the opportunity to get close to him, and didn't even explicitly reject her. This matter is really complicated!"

"Just the day before yesterday, when we moved back to the old house, the whole Zhao family was in a commotion, with children crying one after another."

"Especially Chang'an, he cried so heartbreakingly that he even fainted from crying and was rushed to the hospital. Alas... tell me, if a marriage is unhappy and there are children, it is often these innocent little ones who are hurt the most!" Bai Shuang sighed helplessly.

Then, as if she had thought of something important, she continued, "But speaking of which, since Zhao Han has fallen in love with Shangguan Lan, it is enough to prove that Qiao Xin is no longer irreplaceable in his mind."

"Otherwise, how could he really get together with Shangguan Lan just for the child?" At this point, Bai Shuang couldn't help but sigh deeply again, as if she felt quite sad about this complicated emotional entanglement.

"Shangguan Lan didn't plan to have a child at first, because she knew in her heart that Zhao Han had feelings for Qiao Xin and would not marry her."

"But in the end, Zhao Han asked her to give birth to the child and they got married and got a marriage certificate. The scientific researchers there all knew about it, and they even had several tables of banquets." Bai Shuang found Zhao Han's current situation ridiculous.

If Zhao Han had insisted on being with Qiao Xin, or if he had stopped bothering Qiao Xin after being with Shangguan Lan, his marriage would not be in the current situation.

It's all Zhao Han's own fault.
