Chapter 122 The sincerity that once existed has now vanished.

Ahead, in Shi Nian's car, Shi Nian carefully straightened Si Si's clothes, which had been slightly askew.

"He's following us," Lin Yuchen's voice came through. "Should we shake him off?"

Shi Nian glanced at the rearview mirror, then shook her head: "Let him follow."

There's nothing shameful about it, and Sisi's body can't take it anyway.

Shi Nian was able to bring Sisi out only because she had signed a relevant agreement with the welfare home and the adoption process was already underway.

Lu Yanzhi could only visit her; Sisi could refuse his visits.

And so the car drove all the way to the welfare home.

Shi Nian sent Sisi back.

Lin Yuchen waited outside for Lu Yanzhi.

Lu Yanzhi stopped his car and walked straight towards Lin Yuchen.

Lin Yuchen didn't dodge, but just looked at Lu Yanzhi.

"What? You want to make a move?" Lin Yuchen said.

Lu Yanzhi did not make a move; his eyes, sharp as knives, were fixed on Lin Yuchen.

The tension between the two was palpable.

It seems as if an invisible magnetic field surrounds them, and they will erupt if anything touches them.

Until it is time to read it aloud.

She looked at the two of them, and finally said, "Brother Yuchen, let's go back."

She was about to get into the car when Lu Yanzhi grabbed her wrist.

The next moment, Lin Yuchen also grasped her other wrist.

Shi Nian frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

But neither of them spoke; they just looked at her.

Should we let her choose?

Shi Nian flung Lu Yanzhi's hand away from her wrist and then looked at Lin Yuchen: "Brother Yuchen."

Lin Yuchen's gaze darkened slightly, but he quickly concealed it so no one would notice, and he released his hand.

"Let's go back," Shi Nian said. "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Yu Chen."

Then he went straight back to his car.

Lin Yuchen also returned to the driver's seat.

Lu Yanzhi was left standing in the darkness, his cold eyes fixed on her.

Shi Nian rolled up the car window, blocking his view from the outside.

As we drove back, I mentioned the rented apartment, and we remained silent the entire way.

Lu Yanzhi's car was following behind her, which she could see in the rearview mirror.

The streetlights outside the car window flickered, carrying a unique glow of the night that stirred up inexplicable emotions in her.

We arrived at the apartment building in a short time.

Lin Yuchen wanted to take Shi Nian upstairs.

But when they reached the elevator, Shi Nian turned around and glanced at Lin Yuchen.

"Brother Yuchen, thank you for your help today," Shi Nian said. "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

But Lin Yuchen just looked down at her and said, "I'll take you up."

“You know what I mean, it has nothing to do with anything else,” Lin Yuchen said.

Shi Nian understood Lin Yuchen's meaning. If Lin Yuchen were allowed to go up, or even stay at his house for one night, Lu Yanzhi would definitely be very angry, judging from his behavior just now.

But she didn't want to.

On the one hand, she's getting her divorce certificate tomorrow, and she doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, she had no feelings for Lin Yuchen and there was no need to spread any rumors that went beyond their friendship.

Hearing that the Maybach had stopped, Shi Nian still shook her head.

When Lu Yanzhi rushed in, he saw Lin Yuchen pat Shi Nian on the shoulder, and then Shi Nian walked into the elevator.

Lu Yanzhi strode over, and all he saw was half of Shi Nian's face as the elevator doors were about to close.

He tried to press the elevator button, but Lin Yuchen stopped him.

The red elevator ascended floor by floor, and the two men stared intently at each other outside the elevator, neither willing to back down.

The red elevator stopped at floor 11, the floor Shi Nian was on, and only then did Lin Yuchen release Lu Yanzhi's wrist.

“I’ll go with you,” Lin Yuchen said. “Would you like a ride?”

On the one hand, it indicates that he will not go up again after Lu Yanzhi leaves.

On the other hand, he wanted to take Lu Yanzhi away.

Lu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Yuchen from head to toe, then looked at the elevator on the side before agreeing.

"It would be good to take Lin Yuchen away," Lu Yanzhi thought.

So the two of them returned to the Maybach together.

When the two got into the back seat of the car, Secretary Zhou and the female driver stared at each other blankly.

The two exchanged a quick glance, unsure of what was going on.

"Where are you going?" Lu Yanzhi asked.

Lin Yuchen smiled and looked at the driver in front, saying, "To the First Hospital of City A."

Then, looking at Secretary Zhou and then at Lu Yanzhi, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."

That's quite frank.

Lu Yanzhi didn't want to look at him and closed his eyes to rest.

The car drove straight to the hospital.

Lin Yuchen glanced at Lu Yanzhi, considered for a moment, and finally said, "There's nothing between her and me."

Lu Yanzhi then opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Yuchen.

"I did it on purpose." Lin Yuchen looked at him with a faint smile and said, "I just can't stand seeing you bully her, so I deliberately tried to make you angry."

Lu Yanzhi frowned.

"What you saw at the hospital was that she was injured, and I was just helping her up," Lin Yuchen said.

But Lu Yanzhi didn't believe it.

He's a man too, and he understands men's thoughts very well.

“It’s true.” Lin Yuchen smiled. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to tell you all this.”

"I just hope that after you get your divorce certificate tomorrow, you will remember the good things she did for you and not help Han Wei bully her," Lin Yuchen said earnestly.

Seeing that Lin Yuchen's serious expression didn't seem fake, Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly.

"Han Wei and I are not those kinds of people," he said.

As long as she behaves well.

Lin Yuchen opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remained silent, simply gazing out the car window.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, large swathes of fireworks burst into the city's night sky.

Everyone looked up at the magnificent fireworks display.

Lu Yanzhi looked out the car window.

This was prepared for her; originally, he intended to bid her a temporary farewell under these fireworks.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned in the end.

...

On the other side.

Shi Nian had just come out of the bathroom.

There were huge explosions of fireworks outside the window.

She went out onto the balcony in her pajamas and saw the fireworks blooming in the sky above the city.

They are colorful, vibrant, and come in all shapes and sizes; they are very beautiful.

The long tassels of these fireworks intertwine, creating a dreamlike beauty.

Shi Nian sat on the recliner on the balcony, watching quietly.

I remember, a year ago, on the night of their hasty wedding, he led her to the small lawn of the bridal chamber and handed her a fuse.

"Try it," he said with a smile.

Curious, she lit the fuse, and he carried her all the way back. Soon, the long fuse ignited the firework in the lawn.

As the fireworks shot into the sky, she laughed and exclaimed "Wow!"

But before her cries of surprise had subsided, fireworks began to shoot into the sky from all over the city.

The entire city.

The firework she lit became a city-wide spectacle.

"I added this to the wedding planning," he whispered in her ear. "Do you like it?"

She nodded vigorously: "I like it."

She still remembers the smile in his eyes when she looked at him.

At that moment, there was clearly some sincerity in those eyes.

However, his true feelings now belong to another woman.
