[Chapter 498: Learning from the Seniors]

Lan Yuanzhou's hands had been pinched red, her heart tightened, and she blurted out: "Does it hurt?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong, so he turned his head away and pretended not to care.

Lan Yuanzhou looked at her caring expression, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart. He immediately pretended to be grimacing in pain: "It hurts, it hurts so much, Nian Nian, you pinched me so hard."

Huo Nian snorted coldly: "Who told you to reach out so suddenly? You deserve it."

But she still couldn't help but pull Lan Yuanzhou's hand over to check, and when she saw the red and swollen marks, her brows frowned even more tightly.

Seeing the situation, Lan Yuanzhou continued to act pitiful: "Niannian, look at how swollen it is, is it broken? If my hand is broken, how can I take care of you and the child in the future?"

Huo Nian rolled his eyes at him: "It's not that serious, don't make a fuss."

Although I said this, I was still a little worried.

Lan Yuanzhou struck while the iron was hot: "Niannian, please be kind and help me apply some medicine and bandage it. My hands are shaking so badly now that I can't do it myself."

Huo Nian hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't control his heart in the end, and said helplessly: "Okay, just this once, don't push it any further."

She asked Lan Yuanzhou to sit on the sofa, and she carefully picked up the cotton swab, dipped it in the medicine, and gently applied it on Lan Yuanzhou's hand.

Lan Yuanzhou looked at her focused expression and couldn't help but said, "Niannian, I know that my previous behavior disappointed you terribly, but I really can't live without you and the child. I already know that I was wrong. From now on, I will give you all my trust and love, and will never let you suffer any harm or grievance again."

Huo Nian raised his head, his eyes full of mixed emotions: "How can I believe what you said? Your previous actions made me feel insecure. I'm afraid to go through that kind of pain again."

Lan Yuanzhou gently covered Huo Nian's hand with his other hand: "Niannian, I will prove it with my actions. Just wait and see how I perform in the future."

Huo Nian did not pull his hand back, nor did he say anything.

After bandaging the wound, she packed up the medical kit and regained some of her indifference: "You go back first, I still want to be alone."

Lan Yuanzhou was a little reluctant, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you. When you have made up your mind, call me."

…

In the following days, Huo Nian remained very indifferent to Lan Yuanzhou.

Lan Yuanzhou sent her messages every day, but she simply responded and returned the gifts she had sent unopened.

Lan Yuanzhou looked at the returned gift, feeling disappointed but helpless.

After much thought, he decided to go to Huo Jingze for advice.

Lan Yuanzhou came to Huo Jingze's company and confided to him with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, Nian Nian has never forgiven me. She doesn't appreciate anything I do. Please help me think of a solution."

Huo Jingze leaned back in his chair, his expression cold: "I'm not like you, who doesn't trust his woman. There has never been such a problem between Yinyin and I, and I can't help."

Lan Yuanzhou refused to give up: "Brother-in-law, please give me some advice for my cousin's sake."

Huo Jingze frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go find Wen Qingbai? He has similar experiences to you and might be able to give you some advice."

Lan Yuanzhou had no choice but to follow Huo Jingze's advice and go to Wen Qingbai's house.

After ringing the doorbell, Guan Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw Lan Yuanzhou. She was slightly startled: "Yuanzhou, why are you here?"

Lan Yuanzhou smiled awkwardly: "Sister Xiaoxiao, I came to see Brother Wen. I have something to ask him."

At this time, Wen Qingbai came out of the house, saw Lan Yuanzhou, and called him in: "Yuanzhou, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After Lan Yuanzhou sat down, he told Huo Nian everything that happened between him and him: "Brother Qingbai, I really don't know what to do now. Nian Nian has never forgiven me."

Before Wen Qingbai could say anything, Guan Xiaoxiao said sarcastically, "Oh, you're anxious now, what were you doing before? I don't know what's wrong with you men's brains. Some women will make fun of you as long as you show a little weakness. Someone has become a love mentor now."

At the beginning, Jiao Yafan's existence caused a lot of trouble between Guan Xiaoxiao and Wen Qingbai.

The two of them almost got into trouble.

Wen Qingbai felt regretful when he thought about it, and looked at Guan Xiaoxiao helplessly: "Wife, I already knew I was wrong, so please stop teasing me."

Then he turned to Lan Yuanzhou and said, "Yuanzhou, you can't rush into relationships. You have to take your time. Tell me first, what have you done?"

Lan Yuanzhou sighed: "I sent her messages every day and gave her things she liked, but she ignored me and returned all the things. I wanted to accompany her for prenatal check-ups, but as soon as I arrived at her door, she refused to leave."

Wen Qingbai pondered for a moment: "You are too blind. You need to know what Nian Nian really wants. The biggest problem between the two of you is that you don't trust her and you hurt her too deeply. She doesn't trust you either now. She is afraid that Zhang Xueyi or Zhao Xueyi will appear in the future, and you will change again."

Lan Yuanzhou quickly expressed his opinion, "No, no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by Nian Nian's side."

"Then you have to prove your change with actions." Wen Qingbai said.

Guan Xiaoxiao also interrupted: "That's right, you have to let Nian Nian see your determination and sincerity. It's not enough to just talk and give gifts. Nian Nian doesn't lack those things. And you have to let her see that you really reflect on the mistakes you made before."

Lan Yuanzhou nodded seriously: "Brother Wen, Sister Xiaoxiao, I understand, you are right, I was too impatient."

Wen Qingbai patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. As long as you are sincere to Nian Nian, she will feel it. When I asked Xiaoxiao to get back together, she rejected me many times, but I didn't give up. Didn't I succeed in the end?"

Guan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Wen Qingbai and said, "You said that if it weren't for your good performance later, I wouldn't agree to marry you."

Lan Yuanzhou also knew about the love history of these two enemies. He felt that his situation was much better than Wen Qingbai's. Wen Qingbai was such a jerk but he was able to succeed in pursuing his wife.

There's no reason why he couldn't succeed.

Lan Yuanzhou didn't dare to say this out loud, so he stood up and said, "Brother Qingbai, Sister Xiaoxiao, thank you. I know what to do now."

After leaving Wen Qingbai's house, Lan Yuanzhou's eyes became more determined.

As he walked, he was thinking about what to do next.

But he didn't expect that Huo Nian's personality was much more stubborn than Guan Xiaoxiao's.
