Chapter 118 The Last Time, I Won't Bother You Again
It seemed that only upon hearing this sentence could he be certain that his heart was at peace.
Lu Yanzhi left.
Later, he went to many other places.
Finally, it stopped in front of the kindergarten.
He didn't come down; he just watched the children playing in the kindergarten from afar.
Sisi was very quiet, just drawing with her friends on the side.
Looking at him like this, Lu Yanzhi felt a sense of peace.
...
On the other side.
Wearing a mask, Shi Nian is discussing with a designer the performance costumes she will use for the final of "The Voice of Heaven".
Just then, her phone rang.
"Sorry," Shi Nian said, taking out her phone.
It was Lu Yanzhi calling.
Shi Nian's heart was suddenly gripped tightly.
Today is the 30th day of the divorce cooling-off period. If we're going to get the marriage certificate, it should be tomorrow. Why is he calling at this time?
Could it be... that he changed his mind?
If that's the case, then what should she do?
Shi Nian thought about many things in that instant, and only touched the answer button when the phone had almost stopped ringing.
Shi Nian walked out of the house and onto the corridor outside.
"What is it?" Shi Nian asked.
"Let's have dinner together tonight," Lu Yanzhi's voice came. He said, "Bring Sisi along, I've already made reservations at the restaurant."
Shi Nian frowned slightly. She wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she couldn't afford to cause any trouble in the last little bit of time.
Thinking about this, she asked, "Why?"
“Niannian,” he suddenly called her, “we’re getting our divorce certificate tomorrow, and we probably won’t have any more opportunities to get together like this in the next few months.”
Shi Nian looked up at the modern art painting on the corridor wall.
Does he mean a farewell dinner?
Shi Nian pondered whether or not to go over.
Lu Yanzhi on the other end also remained silent, and both sides kept quiet.
Finally, Lu Yanzhi said, "This is the last time."
"Shi Nian, after this meal, until we remarry, I will not take the initiative to contact you and Si Si again unless it is something urgent."
Shi Nian pursed her lips slightly.
“Lu Yanzhi, you kept your word,” she said.
She will not remarry Lu Yanzhi, so if he can keep his promise, this will be a true farewell dinner.
"I mean what I say," Lu Yanzhi said softly.
After saying that, Lu Yanzhi sent Shi Nian the time and place before hanging up the phone.
He looked out the car window at the kindergarten not far away.
In fact, he didn't know why he did it.
Han Wei died a few months later, and he and Shi Nian remarried.
He also needs some strength to support himself through the days to come.
Lu Yanzhi looked up and saw that Sisi was still painting inside. She and her best friend were painting together and looked very happy.
He couldn't help but smile gently.
On the other side, Shi Nian frowned deeply.
After thinking about it, she called Lin Zhihuan and told her about it.
"Who knows him?" Lin Zhihuan said while eating fruit at home today, her day off. "As long as he's willing to get the divorce certificate with you tomorrow, that's all that matters."
Shi Nian thought that made sense.
“The real problem is that he might be calling you over this time to try and win you back,” Lin Zhihuan said.
"Change your mind?" Shi Nian thought this was simply a pipe dream; Han Wei was still waiting.
“However, I think the possibility is very small.” Lin Zhihuan said, putting down what she was holding, picking up the remote control, and said, “If he shows any signs of that, then you should firmly disagree.”
“I remember you had a backup plan: if he didn’t agree to a divorce, you would file for divorce.”
"If all else fails, use that one."
Listening to Lin Zhihuan's words, Shi Nian felt that they made sense.
She just couldn't quite understand the meaning behind Lu Yanzhi's behavior.
"Well, it's normal for a guy to want to reminisce about the past. Besides, didn't he want to wait until Han Wei died before remarrying you? He probably wants to keep you on your toes and prevent you from running away," Lin Zhihuan analyzed logically.
Shi Nian nodded, agreeing.
"Speaking of which, you didn't remarry him, did you?" Lin Zhihuan immediately sat up straight.
“How could that be?” Shi Nian said, looking at the painting beside her. “Huanhuan, my heart died that day in the hospital stairwell.”
Lin Zhihuan sighed deeply and quickly said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought this up again."
"It's okay, I have Sisi," Shi Nian replied.
"Okay, anyway, you handle it for now. I'm afraid he'll cause trouble tomorrow if you don't go," Lin Zhihuan instructed. "I'll have my brother keep watch nearby. If there are any problems, just call him."
Shi Nian nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Nian checked the time and saw that she still had some left, so she continued to discuss the performance costumes with the designer.
This time the outfits are somewhat complex, and many things are in place.
"Thank you for your hard work." Finally reaching an agreement, Shi Nian said, "This time, I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry," the other person replied with a smile.
They've already played four matches, and both sides are very satisfied with each other.
This is a mutually beneficial relationship.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Shi Nian noticed that it was almost time, so she changed her clothes and went to pick up Sisi from school.
Soon, Shi Nian's car arrived at the kindergarten.
Sisi is waiting inside.
"Auntie Xiaonian!" Sisi called out immediately.
Shi Nian hugged her tightly.
"Sisi, Aunt Xiaonian has something to ask you." Shi Nian looked Sisi straight in the eye and said, "Lu Yanzhi invited us to a farewell dinner. Would you like to go?"
If Sisi is unwilling, then she will refuse.
"Aunt Xiaonian, what do you think?" Sisi neither agreed nor disagreed.
Shi Nian looked into Si Si's eyes and said, "I think it depends on whether you like it or not. If you don't like it, we won't go."
"Did he say something to you?" Sisi suddenly asked sneakily.
This was the first time Shi Nian had seen Si Si's expression, and she was immediately amused.
"Okay." Shi Nian nodded and repeated Lu Yanzhi's promise not to contact them again.
Sisi then realized what was going on.
“Then I’ll go over there,” Sisi said with a smile. “I’ll just consider it as spending an evening playing with the neighbor’s kid.”
"Sisi is such a good girl." Shi Nian kissed Sisi's forehead.
Sisi also kissed Shi Nian's cheek.
The two were being affectionate when suddenly, a large shadow appeared beside them.
The two looked up together and saw Lu Yanzhi standing next to them.
The smiles on the mother and daughter's faces gradually disappeared.
Lu Yanzhi felt a little sad.
However, he still greeted the little girl beside him gently: "Sisi".
Sisi thought for a moment, then replied, "Uncle."
Lu Yanzhi nodded slightly.
He straightened up and looked at Shi Nian: "Let's go."
Shi Nian nodded and took Si Si's hand as they walked toward the car.
"Get in my car," Lu Yanzhi said.
Shi Nian gave him a cold look.
Sisi still vividly remembered the scene when she was frightened in Lu Yanzhi's car last time.
"Lu Yanzhi, I will never let Sisi ride in your car again in this lifetime."
Lu Yanzhi was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said nothing more.
Drive, hit the road.
The two cars were parked outside the largest seaside restaurant in City A.
Shi Nian took Si Si's hand and got out of the car to meet up with Lu Yanzhi.
The group entered the restaurant together, just as a soft chime sounded.
It was already 5 p.m.
