Han Zhan thought Song Ci was feeling inferior and was about to say something to comfort her, but then he heard Song Ci say with a look of relief: "Fortunately, I am good-looking, otherwise I would be really useless."
“…”
Han Zhan knew he had underestimated Song Ci. He didn't need to worry too much about her. Song Ci had the most beautiful and graceful beauty, as well as a heart as solid as a rock. She was a true Iron Rose.
Song Ci turned over and lay on Han Zhan's legs, squinting her eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep."
Han Zhan gently grasped Song Ci's short hair and spoke half hesitantly and half solemnly: "There is something I want to talk to you about."
Song Ci was really sleepy, her tone became lazy, and she asked in a low voice: "Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
Han Zhan reaffirmed: "I want to say it now."
"Then go ahead and I'll listen." Song Ci forced herself to cheer up and wait for him to continue.
After a brief pause, Han Zhan spoke again, still talking about the same old topic, "I once had a love affair."
Upon hearing this, Song Ci didn't even bother to open her eyelids. She closed her eyes and whispered to Han Zhan, "You've already said this before, and I don't mind. Besides, I'm not such a fussy person. I have no right to interfere with your past love history."
If we had to delve into and care about even Han Zhan's past, life would be too boring.
Who hasn't had an ex? Song Ci had been pursued by countless men. If we really compare, Han Zhan's gossip is far less abundant than Song Ci's.
Han Zhan was not as relaxed as Song Ci. He hesitated and said, "You also know my first love."
After hearing this, Song Ci finally opened her eyes and looked at Han Zhan in surprise. "I know her?" Song Ci compared the women she and Han Zhan both knew in her mind, but found that she and Han Zhan had no female friends in common.
There is one...
Mu Qiu.
But Mu Qiu was too young and had never known Han Zhan before, so he could be ruled out. "Who is it?" Song Ci really couldn't think of it.
Han Zhan didn't have the courage to say the person's name, so he said in a roundabout way: "You met her today."
Song Ci's expression became even more confused. "See you today?"
Song Ci slowly got up and sat down, tilting her head to lean on Han Zhan's shoulder, and whispered in a muffled voice: "I stayed with Mu Qiu the whole day, and just accompanied her to see Du Xueyan. After seeing Du Xueyan, I didn't see any other friends..."
Let's get back to the point. "Who is that person?"
"Du Xueyan." This was Han Zhan's answer.
Song Ci was so shocked that she sat up straight, her eyes wide.
"Du Xueyan?" Song Ci felt incredible, and also felt uneasy.
What kind of complicated feelings did that make her feel? Knowing that Han Zhan had an ex-girlfriend was one thing, but knowing that Han Zhan's ex-girlfriend was Du Xueyan was another. After all, she regarded Du Xueyan as her idol.
Song Ci felt like something was stuck in her throat when she thought that her husband's ex-girlfriend was the female celebrity she had liked for many years.
Idols are no longer popular.
A deep, magnetic male voice spoke directly beside Song Ci's ear, "Du Xueyan and I were high school classmates. We started dating in our third year. We dated for five years, but when I was 22, I injured and amputated a finger, ruining my career and future. It just so happened that her career was on the rise, so for the sake of her future, she took the initiative to break up with me."
At 32, Han Zhan is now able to speak openly and calmly about his youthful loves and abandonments. "She and I truly loved each other, and she was the woman I once wanted to marry. But not every relationship has a happy ending."
"After we broke up, I was heartbroken and resentful. But time healed my resentment and also diluted my feelings for her."
Han Zhan, influenced by Han Aoyu's guidance, has always been serious and focused on people and things. In his youth, he truly loved Du Xueyan and dated her with the intention of marrying her. However, they eventually parted ways.
Han Zhan was also a proud and decisive man. His pride and self-esteem would not allow him to linger on a woman who had kicked him into hell when he was at his lowest point.
From the moment Du Xueyan proposed breaking up, all the sweet past between them disappeared.
Over the years, Han Zhan had never considered rekindling his old relationship with the dazzling Du Xueyan, despite seeing her on television. For the rest of his life, Du Xueyan would only be his 'ex-girlfriend,' a 'woman he once truly loved.'
When they were in love, Du Xueyan was the queen Han Zhan held in his heart. After they broke up, eight years later, Du Xueyan was just Du Xueyan, just like Liu Xueyan and Su Xueyan, nothing special.
Han Zhan held Song Ci's hand, tilting his head to look at her with a serious expression. "Cibao, I'm not telling you this to show off, nor do I want to hurt you. I just want to be honest with you about my past. I see that you like Du Xueyan very much, so I feel that this matter cannot be hidden from you. I need to explain it to you in detail."
Telling Song Ci about Du Xueyan was a decision Han Zhan had made after careful consideration. Once Zeus Group was established, Han Zhan would inevitably step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. Once his identity was exposed, his affairs with Du Xueyan would likely be uncovered.
If Song Ci heard about his childhood with Du Xueyan from someone else, it would be a deception to her. Han Zhan would never lie to his wife; this was his honesty in marriage.
Song Ci has been silent since she heard the name Du Xueyan. No one can tell what she is thinking. Seeing this, Han Zhan can't help but feel uneasy.
After pinching Song Ci's fingers, Han Zhan said, "There is one thing you said that is very right."
Song Ci finally looked at him, raised her eyebrows, and asked in confusion: "What?"
Han Zhan leaned over and touched Song Ci's forehead, saying: "She is just my past, but you are my future and belonging." These were the words Song Ci said to him in person on the first day Han Zhan brought Song Ci home to live together.
Han Zhan kissed Song Ci's forehead and said to her seriously, "Cibao, the men of the Han family will never remarry. We treat marriage as seriously as we treat our lives. Please rest assured, Du Xueyan, she is really just an ex-girlfriend."
You only have one life, and you only get married once. If he marries Song Ci, she will be Han Zhan's wife for life. And from the beginning, when Han Zhan agreed to date Song Ci, he didn't want to make a deal with her.
Song Ci had a beautiful face and an interesting soul. The words she said when they first met left a deep impression on Han Zhan. How could Han Zhan not see through the little tricks Song Ci was deliberately playing to get close to him? Even after seeing through them, he still found her interesting.
Song Ci is like a little kitten, thinking that she can fight the whole world by stretching out her claws. Little does she know that in front of Han Zhan, the tiger, her grinning face is both funny and cute.
