Chapter 6 Her Rejection: I'm Too Busy
As Lu Yanzhi drove back to the villa, his phone kept ringing.
He felt a headache coming on when he saw the note "Grandma" flashing on the screen.
At the last screech, Lu Yanzhi stepped on the brakes and answered the phone.
“Grandma,” he said gently.
"You still remember I'm your grandmother!" the old lady's strong voice rang out. "What's the deal with that Han Wei?"
Lu Yanzhi pinched the bridge of his nose and patiently replied, "Han Wei is sick. She has no bad intentions."
"Lu Yanzhi, are you out of your mind?" the old lady scolded. "She doesn't have bad intentions? She knows you're already married, yet she still has an ambiguous relationship with you. She's a mistress and wants to be both a wife and a husband. I've never seen such a shameless person. You break up with her immediately and go and coax Niannian!"
Lu Yanzhi frowned, and Shi Nian's face flashed through his mind.
A feeling of annoyance welled up inside me.
"Shi Nian complained to you?" His voice was somewhat cold.
"Do we need Nian Nian to tell us?" The old lady's voice was full of anger. "The news is everywhere online. Lu Yanzhi, you remember this: your wife is Shi Nian. How could you watch Nian Nian fall to the ground and stand by another woman?!"
"What will people think of her if you do this? There are so many paparazzi around!"
Lu Yanzhi suddenly remembered what had just happened, and her injured eye at that moment; it seemed that things weren't going well.
He then rejected his own idea.
He said, "No, Grandma, she saw the news online and deliberately went to the hospital to ambush Han Wei."
"Let me speak," said Grandpa Lu, taking the phone.
"Lu Yanzhi." The old man's voice came through the microphone, "You were the one who brought Shi Nian to me and said you wanted to get married. Now that you've married her, you have to take responsibility for her!"
"grandfather……"
"We're going back to the old house for dinner tonight." Without giving Lu Yanzhi any chance to explain, the old man had already spoken, "Take Nian Nian with you."
After saying that, the old man hung up the phone.
Lu Yanzhi was left alone in the car.
His left hand unconsciously tapped the steering wheel, his brow furrowed.
He found Shi Nian's contact information on his phone.
She hasn't replied to the message I sent her before.
He felt a little irritated, but he held back and called Shi Nian.
It was a long time before Shi Nian finally got through.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yanzhi asked coldly.
"Is there something you need?" Shi Nian didn't answer, but asked him instead.
Lu Yanzhi rubbed his temples and said, "Why did you go to the hospital to ambush Han Wei today?"
“I didn’t,” Shi Nian said calmly. “I just went to see Huanhuan.”
"Shi Nian, don't lie to me!" Anxiety rose within him again, and Lu Yanzhi gradually grew impatient.
But all I heard on the other end of the phone was a soft laugh from her.
casual.
And yet, it seemed as if he didn't care at all.
This made him even angrier.
But when he thought of his grandfather's orders, he felt helpless.
“Come back to the old house with me tonight,” he said finally.
"I'm busy." Shi Nian's voice came clearly, without the slightest hesitation.
“It’s Grandpa’s order,” Lu Yanzhi said, frowning.
The next moment, Shi Nian hung up the phone.
All that's left on the phone is the busy tone.
Lu Yanzhi was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
When I called again, she didn't answer.
Cars came and went along the roadside, and Lu Yanzhi stared at his phone in silence for a long while.
Finally, he put away his phone, restarted the car, and drove towards their marital home, the villa.
The sky was gradually darkening.
After parking his car, Lu Yanzhi went straight into his house.
The moment the front door opened, he had a cold expression on his face.
"Shi Nian".
He called her name in a cold voice.
But no one responded at all.
He then realized that the entryway light was off, and the whole house was dark.
Lu Yanzhi was slightly taken aback. Every time he came home, there was always at least one small light left on just for him. In fact, many times, he would see Shi Nian falling asleep on the sofa in the living room, having read too much while waiting for him to come home.
"Smack!"
Lu Yanzhi turned on the light and looked at the sofa.
But the sofa was empty; she was nowhere to be seen.
If before he was only bothered by Han Wei and his grandmother making things difficult to go home, now, for some reason, he started to feel irritable.
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap..."
He turned on all the lights in the house at once and searched each room one by one.
There's none in the living room, none in the kitchen, and none in the bathroom.
There was no one in any of the bedrooms or studies.
Is she not home?
He won't answer the phone.
Where did they go?
It seems this fake divorce really angered her, and she made quite a scene.
never mind.
She'll figure it out eventually. Han Wei only has six months left, and Mrs. Lu will only be someone she misses.
However, since she's throwing a tantrum and refusing to go to the old house, he can't not go.
Thinking about it, Lu Yanzhi went to the storage room.
Take out some health supplements.
After thinking for a moment before leaving, they put their things down and went back to their bedroom.
The scent of Chanel No. 5 perfume still lingered in the bedroom.
It was a gift from him to her.
Lu Yanzhi's brows relaxed slightly.
After taking a few sets of his clothes, Lu Yanzhi hurriedly left.
He didn't notice that in the wardrobe where their clothes used to stand side by side, only his half remained.
They didn't even notice that all the items that used to be for two people were now just a single, lonely item.
It looks devoid of warmth, only a monotonous coldness remains.
...
On the other side.
Beauty center.
Shi Nian and Lin Zhihuan are getting their nails done.
Lin Zhihuan looked at Shi Nian, who had specifically chosen materials that pregnant women could use, and shook her head helplessly.
She said, "Didn't you already say you were going to get vaccinated? And you're using the kind specifically for pregnant women."
Shi Nian smiled and said, "If you can choose, then choose one. It's still inside your belly."
Lin Zhihuan shrugged nonchalantly, looking at her sparkly manicured nails with great joy.
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the manicure on her hands.
Lu Yanzhi had a stomach ailment.
Since marrying him, she has been cooking and cleaning every day and hasn't had her nails done in a long time.
"Anything is fine," Lin Zhihuan said. "As long as you're willing to change."
"A manicure is just the beginning; there's also your hairstyle and your outfit."
“Shi Nian, I remember it well. When we were not even 10 years old, we would secretly wear Mom’s pointed high heels and run around.”
"There's no reason why we should be regressing in our lives."
While admiring the manicure, Lin Zhihuan said, "It's a pity that I'm a doctor now, so I can't be so fancy anymore."
Shi Nian smiled.
Yes, she has always been an outgoing person.
It was simply because she fell in love with Lu Yanzhi and then catered to his preferences.
For countless days and nights, she believed that the greatest happiness in life was to be with her beloved, to cook for him, to have children with him, and to grow old happily together.
But now it seems that it was all just a joke.
Fortunately, it's not too late to change anything.
She wants to get her life back on track.
