"No need, I came here for you."
Shen Yanxi raised her hand to stop Zhou Mingyan, but she couldn't let go of He Lingchuan in her heart.
She was unsure of herself and asked him hesitantly, "Has he really been targeting you all along?"
"Yes, can't you see? He's using his relationship with Professor Zhao to shut me out. Isn't that targeting me?"
Zhou Mingyan looked at Shen Yanxi with a hint of grievance in his eyes: "Xixi, don't be fooled by his words. He's just deliberately trying to cause me trouble."
"But why is he causing you trouble?"
Shen Yanxi didn't want to overthink it, but the current situation forced her to.
Was it for his own sake?
He Lingchuan must have targeted Zhou Mingyan repeatedly because of him.
He was jealous of Zhou Mingyan.
If that's the case, then anything He Lingchuan does makes sense.
Saying it's a divorce, isn't it just that they can't let go of each other?
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan with a guilty look in her eyes: "I will make it up to you in the future."
She blamed herself for all the mistakes, and looked at Zhou Mingyan with even more affection.
"Xixi."
Zhou Mingyan was confused and felt a little flustered.
He heard that Shen Yanxi had been trying to curry favor with He Lingchuan recently, otherwise he wouldn't have dealt such a heavy blow to He Lingchuan.
What did she mean by saying that? Did she want to give up on herself and go back to He Lingchuan's side?
For the first time since Zhou Mingyan returned, he felt a sense of crisis. He grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and said, "Xixi, I don't need you to make it up to me. As long as we are together, that's better than anything else."
He kept talking to Shen Yanxi about their future, trying to brainwash her in this way.
As soon as the door opened, they both looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Shen Yanxi looked up and met He Lingchuan's gaze.
The other person looked surprised, their pupils widened, and they stood there stunned.
"You haven't left yet?"
He thought Shen Yanxi wouldn't wait here any longer.
His gaze fell on Zhou Mingyan. Was it because of Zhou Mingyan?
She wouldn't have acted like this when she was waiting for him before. If the time exceeded his expectations, Shen Yanxi would leave without hesitation.
He now understood that it wasn't that Shen Yanxi couldn't wait, but that the person she was waiting for was wrong.
He Lingchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh. He didn't want to say anything more and turned to walk past.
But Zhou Mingyan blocked his way: "What did you say to Professor Zhao?"
Zhou Mingyan became aggressive, his tone rising instantly.
At this point, he was no longer afraid of losing face and completely disregarded the many probing eyes around him. He started to throw a tantrum on the street: "It must be because you and Professor Zhao said bad things about me that he has such a big problem with me."
He stomped his feet in anger, his fingertips turning red, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled with his movements.
"You made me look bad in front of Professor Zhao, so you must compensate me for my emotional distress."
He brazenly demanded compensation, but Shen Yanxi stood aside, frowning, and said, "Forget about the compensation."
Putting aside the fact that they were once husband and wife, this matter cannot be solely blamed on He Lingchuan.
Although he also suspected what He Lingchuan and Professor Zhao had said.
"Xixi, how can we just let this go? We've been standing outside for so long because of him."
Zhou Mingyan sensed that Shen Yanxi was subtly protecting He Lingchuan, and his suspicions gradually became reality. He strode forward and faced He Lingchuan.
"Do you dare admit it?"
"If I did it, I would naturally admit it."
He looked Zhou Mingyan up and down, his gaze lingering on him for a while. Once he was satisfied with his look, he mercilessly mocked him, exposing his arrogance: "Based on your grades, even if I were to speak ill of you to Professor Zhao, you wouldn't even catch his eye."
He Lingchuan smiled, his expression full of sarcasm: "Zhou Mingyan, you're not without your merits. You're quite confident. You have so many works, but not a single one is worth mentioning. You still have the nerve to apply to Professor Zhao's school. You must have some courage."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Mingyan's face immediately darkened, and he admitted that he didn't have many works.
He tried hard to learn, but his talent was limited. He wanted to create works that could be patented like others, but even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep, he couldn't do it.
This is a pain in his heart, a wound that he can't tell anyone.
"He Lingchuan, don't go too far with your words. You're criticizing me, but what works do you have yourself? Would you dare to show them?"
I'm afraid that taking it out will hurt your self-esteem.
He Lingchuan showed him no respect whatsoever, and Shen Yanxi realized that he was deliberately trying to embarrass Zhou Mingyan, so her face also darkened.
She stepped forward, put her hand behind Zhou Mingyan to protect him, and looked at He Lingchuan: "Are you ever going to stop? I know you look down on Mingyan, but you can't say such hurtful things."
Where did I say something offensive?
How dare Shen Yanxi say that he speaks rudely?
He Lingchuan was furious. He looked around to make sure no one was around before he spoke: "Compared to you, I've been very merciful."
His words completely reminded Shen Yanxi that she used to say whatever came to mind when she was angry, which might have unintentionally hurt him.
She bit her lower lip and took the initiative to apologize: "I can apologize to you, but you also need to apologize to Mingyan."
He Lingchuan, who had already turned to leave, turned back upon hearing Shen Yanxi's words: 'You apologize to me for this man?'
He couldn't believe it; he never expected Shen Yanxi to go to such lengths for this man.
Zhou Mingyan grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and said, "Xixi, I don't want you to apologize to this man."
Shen Yanxi ignored him and looked up at He Lingchuan: "The premise is..."
"Don't give me any preconditions. I don't need your apology at all. I don't care for this kind of handout."
He Lingchuan was completely disappointed in him.
She was so high and mighty in front of him. She had her own career, she was very thoughtful, and she was always in charge. He never expected that she would be willing to apologize to him for such a man. Just thinking about it made He Lingchuan's heart ache terribly.
"I, Wufu, accept your apology."
The person he cherished and protected was so wronged for another man. He Lingchuan didn't want to see it, he was even less willing to see it; it was the greatest insult to him.
He walked past the two people with his head down, not wanting to say another word.
Noticing his low spirits, Shen Yanxi wanted to say something more, but the words that came out were: "When are you going back? The children miss you, they want to see you."
He Lingchuan stood there, stunned and speechless.
Shen Yanxi also lost her temper: "Don't you ever want to see the child again?"
