Chapter 260 She Has Always Been the One I Can’t Get
Shen Changfeng stepped into Lu Yiran's residence, and the soldier's unique alertness made him subconsciously look around.
This apartment adopts a modern and simple style, but it exudes low-key luxury everywhere, with leather sofas imported from Italy, smart home customized in Germany, and valuable abstract oil paintings hanging on the walls.
He raised his eyebrows calmly, thinking that Lu Yiran really knew how to enjoy himself.
"What would you like to drink, brother?"
Lu Yiran's voice came from behind, with a tone of deliberate courtesy.
“No need.”
Shen Changfeng responded briefly, his voice as cold and hard as iron.
The air froze instantly, and the only sound in the huge living room was the faint sound of the central air conditioner.
Normally, Lu Yiran wouldn't feel embarrassed, but the person in front of him was his brother-in-law, and they had just had such an unpleasant argument, so he had to behave well.
But letting Lu Yiran take the initiative to find topics to talk about was already his limit. Who knew that Shen Changfeng was not willing to pay attention to him and ended the topic directly.
Normally, it was only others who approached Lu Yiran to talk. When had he ever suffered such injustice? But... he endured it.
Lu Yiran broke the silence with gritted teeth:
"Brother-in-law, actually I..."
"Shen Changfeng."
The man turned around, his sharp eyes swept over like a knife blade.
"Call me by my name. Besides, we're not familiar with each other, and I'm not going to recognize a brother-in-law who's divorced from my sister."
Lu Yiran was suddenly speechless, his knuckles unconsciously rubbing the cuffs of his home clothes. The fact of divorce was like a wall between the two of them, making all his excuses seem pale and powerless.
Shen Changfeng walked straight into the living room, his military boots making crisp sounds on the marble floor.
He stood in front of the sofa as if inspecting his territory, then turned and looked directly at Lu Yiran:
"I'm not Nan Yan. I'm not as easy to fool as her. Tell me, why did you move next door to her?"
Lu Yiran didn't want to hide it anymore. He looked at Shen Changfeng and said seriously:
"I want to be with Nan Yan again."
Hearing this, Shen Changfeng sneered from his nose, his eyes becoming colder.
"Heh, what were you doing when you got married? Now you want to save the relationship?"
He approached step by step, and his momentum became more fierce with each word he spoke.
"Have you asked Nan Yan if she's willing? Have you asked our Shen family for consent? What makes you think Nan Yan is someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"
Lu Yiran was forced to take a half step back, his back against the cold glass window.
Shen Changfeng's questions came like a barrage of cannonballs, and every word hit the most painful part of his heart.
"What happened back then was my fault... so I want to make it up to her. I never thought Nan Yan was someone I could summon and dismiss at will. On the contrary, she has always been someone I can't have..."
Lu Yiran paused and continued:
"I never thought I could get her forgiveness from the beginning. I just wanted a chance to be with Nan Yan... From the beginning to the end, the only one I loved was Nan Yan, and I only recognized her as my wife."
Lu Yiran was very serious when he said this, and almost moved Shen Changfeng, but Shen Changfeng's mind suddenly emerged the scene when he first met Mu Nanyan in F country.
The thin Mu Nanyan sat in a shabby house in the suburbs, holding the sleeping Chenchen in her arms while drawing a design. On the table lay a cold takeout box and a half-finished bottle of stomach medicine...
Shen Changfeng suddenly clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.
"Mr. Lu's love is truly special. He's made his wife live outside with their children for five years, surrounded by numerous female confidantes. Our Nan Yan is truly unfortunate. Please, Mr. Lu, let her go."
Although Shen Changfeng's words were still polite, the way he looked at Lu Yiran had changed. If the soldiers under Shen Changfeng saw him like this, everyone would know that it was the prelude to the coming storm.
Although Shen Changfeng usually looks good-tempered, he is a very protective person. When he found Mu Nanyan and knew her experience, he wanted to fly directly to Beijing to settle the score with Lu Yiran.
It was Mu Nanyan who kept stopping him, not wanting Lu Yiran to know about Chenchen's existence, so he didn't go to find Lu Yiran.
Lu Yiran's face suddenly changed. He opened his mouth to explain the truth of the scandal, but he read deep hatred in the other person's scarlet eyes.
Only at this moment did he truly understand that what Mu Nanyan had endured in the past five years was far more than he had imagined.
The tense atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken by a rustling sound.
They both turned around at the same time, only to see Chenchen, wearing bear pajamas, standing at the door, rubbing his eyes, holding a teddy bear doll that was also sleepy in his arms.
"uncle……"
The little fellow called out in a baby voice, stumbled into Shen Changfeng's arms, and rubbed his soft face against his chest.
"I'm sleepy... Let's go to bed, okay?"
Shen Changfeng's stern expression softened instantly, and his broad palm gently supported the back of Chenchen's head:
"Okay, uncle will take you to bed."
When he looked up at Lu Yiran, his eyes regained their previous sharpness.
"Mr. Lu, where is our room?"
It was not until then that Shen Changfeng noticed Lu Yiran's expression. The man stared at Chenchen who was lying in his arms, his thin lips tightly pursed, and his eyes looked like an abandoned and resentful husband, and Chenchen was the unfaithful scumbag.
That jealous look made Shen Changfeng's eyes flash with a hint of amusement. Is he jealous? Is this retribution?
Lu Yiran reluctantly got up and took them to the guest room. He pushed open the door, turned on the light, and then looked at Shen Changfeng and said:
"You can live here."
Lu Yiran glanced at the little guy following behind him without giving up, and said in a gentle tone:
"Chenchen, how about sleeping with Daddy tonight? I'll tell you the story of The Little Prince."
Chenchen was so sleepy that his eyelids drooped. He glanced at Lu Yiran with a look of disgust, and said:
"You're already such a grown-up, yet you still want to listen to bedtime stories. I don't want to sleep with you. I want to listen to my uncle tell me about the special forces night raid training camp."
Lu Yiran's expression froze instantly. Five-year-old children no longer listen to bedtime stories? Then what about all the bedtime stories he had found online?
Chenchen ignored Lu Yiran and walked directly into the guest room holding Shen Changfeng's hand. Just when Lu Yiran was about to follow him in, he heard a "bang" and Lu Yiran was locked outside the door. The closed door almost hit his tall nose.
Is this really his biological son? Why did Lu Yiran suddenly want to do a paternity test?
Shen Changfeng, who was standing in the guest room, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chenchen looked at him in confusion and asked, "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"
