She turned her head away, took a deep breath, and then said, "But no matter what, you were also an accomplice in your previous life. Without the identity of Lu Ran's wife, Zhang Xinglian would not have been able to accomplish many things. Perhaps many of you will think that this is a matter of the past life and you shouldn't care so much about it. I have always told myself this. But..."
"But I've lived two lives in a row, so those things aren't that far away from me. It seems like only two years have passed since those events, and I haven't spoken about them in those two years. But sometimes they're so deeply etched in my mind that I can't forget or ignore them all at once."
“…” Lu Ran moved his fingers, wanting to say something but unable to.
He knew that it was precisely because of this speculation and because it was confirmed by Zhang Xinglian that he did not dare to hand Zhang Xinglian over to Rong Ya easily.
He was just afraid, afraid that something like today would happen. He was just afraid that the barrier in Rong Ya's heart would not only not be resolved, but would become even worse.
It seemed like no matter what he did, there was no way to solve this problem. So he could only drag it out, dragging it out until he found a better solution. Unfortunately, there was no better solution, only one way.
"...So you're going to give up on me and our marriage?"
He felt that his voice was dry, as if he had eaten a very bitter and astringent lemon.
Zhang Xingrong took another deep breath. "I don't know, but I need to separate. This marriage can't continue. I need to...make a break with the past, with Zhang Xinglian."
"Okay!" Lu Ran nodded. "Then let's separate. Five months later, give us and grandpa a preparation."
Zhang Xingrong didn't expect Lu Ran to agree so readily this time and was stunned for a moment.
"Can I still go in?" Lu Ran pointed to the yard.
He felt his hands were numb, and he didn't know how much strength he had used. He just felt that his whole body was in pain.
"Of course!" Zhang Xingrong came back to his senses and nodded.
"Let's go." Lu Ran smiled, blinking his red eyes and clearing the mist. "We can't let my second brother and the others find out."
Zhang Xingrong was silent. "Yes, they couldn't find out yet. It would be too sudden and would worry them." Five months wasn't long, but it was enough time for them to slowly prepare. Only by dealing with Zhang Xinglian and putting the past behind them could they start anew and move on.
The two of them entered the house together. The Zhang Hewu brothers had already prepared dinner. When they saw the two of them coming, they looked over.
Zhang Hewu glanced at Lu Ran calmly, then looked at his sister: "Did he admit his mistake?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xingrong smiled, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Zhang Hewu waved his hand: "It's nothing. If he does anything to offend you, just tell your second brother. He will never let him go."
"Brother, if you're not satisfied, go ahead and beat me up!" Lu Ran said with a smile. Even after being punched this morning, it was clear that Zhang Hewu had been very restrained. It was actually really good for Rong Ya to have such a protective brother. When he was away, the Lu family had Grandpa to protect them, and here, this brother was there to protect them, which was great.
Zhang Hewu rolled his eyes at him and said angrily, "You only know how to act pitiful in front of my sister."
If this kid hadn't been so good at pretending, Rong Ya wouldn't have been fooled.
