Chapter 156: It's painful to hide it from me
Originally, things in this world are just like this reality. In the end times, most people have turned into zombies. Zhan Lianken came all the way back to Xiangcheng from the northwest to find his ex-wife who had signed a divorce agreement.
This is the most he could do, right? Xiangcheng was Zhan Lian's last stop. If he could find An Ran here, everyone would be happy. If he couldn't find her, Zhan Lian would go to Fuzhou with Lao Mao. As for An Ran, who was drifting in this chaotic world, Zhan Lian had done his best.
Lao Mao felt that, no matter whether the child was alive or dead, as a man, Zhan Lian had to find An Ran. He had to spend his entire life to get to the bottom of this matter! In the well-lit bedroom, on the large bed where he and his ex-wife had rolled around, Zhan Lian flipped through An Ran's pregnancy notes page by page, including how long it took to find out she was pregnant, the ultrasound photos of the child, her complaints about him, and the various discomforts during pregnancy. The more Zhan Lian read, the more frightened he became. When he saw the last page, he suddenly stood up, yelled, and ran headfirst into the wall.
The old cat outside the door rushed in quickly, hugged Zhan Lian's body that was hitting the wall, and said angrily: "A Lian, are you crazy? Your ex-wife and your daughter are not dead, what are you doing now?"
He bumped into it head-on. Zhan Lian was fine, but there was a big hole in the wall. He shook his head with ashes all over his head, staring at the old cat as if he was staring at an enemy, and hot tears flowed from his eyes. Then, his eyes became dazed, and he nodded, choking with sobs:
"Yes, she came back. October 11 was her due date, and she wrote it down. After she gave birth, she came back again."
"Yes, your ex-wife came back, and then left again." The old cat rarely showed his wisdom. He twisted the collar of Zhan Lian's clothes with both hands and pulled it hard. "They may be somewhere, waiting for you to rescue them. Who are you showing off to by doing this here now?"
"You don't understand."
Zhan Lian slapped the old cat away. He propped himself against the wall with both hands, tightly holding the pregnancy notebook written by An Ran. He rammed the wall again and again, making the whole wall tremble. He sobbed, "This woman, it's so painful to hide it from me, it's so painful to hide it from me."
He was mad at his ex-wife, so mad that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. After ten months of pregnancy, Anran had the child when she was with him in the Northwest, but since then, she has been asking for a divorce every day.
Ever since An Ran said those words while crying, Zhan Lian also reflected deeply on himself. He is a soldier, and a soldier's time belongs to the country. In terms of family, he really owed An Ran a lot.
Since An Ran wanted a divorce, he signed the divorce agreement, but it was just to make An Ran feel relieved and stop bothering him about divorce. Did she really think she was getting rid of him? Is it so easy to divorce a military marriage?
He was waiting. He was waiting for An Ran to take the divorce agreement and exchange it for a divorce certificate. He was waiting for An Ran to run around to complete the formalities. He was waiting for An Ran to ask him angrily why divorce was so troublesome for just a military marriage.
By then, he had already retired from the army. He had plenty of time to slowly waste time with this woman!
He thought he had a sure win. He thought that with An Ran's little ability, how could she escape his control?
