Chapter 126 Zhinan, you only now understand my feelings for you?
If they hadn't obtained a divorce certificate, Li Zhinan would have retorted after hearing this and used the Marriage Law to defend himself.
At this moment, Chu Huaijing's words made him anxious and his face flushed.
"Huai Jing, you don't really want to be Xiao Ye's stepfather, do you?" Li Zhinan's eyes darkened.
Chu Huaijing smiled faintly: "Zhi Nan, the person you like is Cheng Yan. You can allow yourself to have another romantic relationship, but you can't allow Cheng Qian to find another lover?"
Li Zhinan was speechless for a moment.
"No matter whether your marriage was a mistake back then, now that it's over, you shouldn't stop her from finding a new life." Chu Huaijing looked at Li Zhinan seriously.
Li Zhinan opened his thin lips slightly, but had nothing to say.
Just at this moment, the teacher came over with two children, Xiaoye and Taotao.
The two little guys were happily holding hands, and I don’t know what they were saying with their little mouths. The atmosphere was very good.
"dad…"
"uncle…"
The two little guys each pounced on the two handsome men.
Li Zhinan bent down, picked up his son with one hand, and said to Chu Huaijing, "Let's go first."
Chu Huaijing nodded and picked up Taotao.
"Dad, I want to play with my brother Taotao later. Can you tell Uncle Chu?"
Li Zhinan's handsome face darkened a little: "Xiao Ye, do you like Uncle Chu very much?"
"Do you like him? He's very gentle." Ono said happily while hugging his father's neck tightly.
Li Zhinan felt a dull pain in his heart. His son said he liked Chu Huaijing. Did Cheng Qian tell him something?
"Dad will take you to dinner with Mom tonight, okay?" Li Zhinan immediately diverted his son's attention.
"That's fine, but my brother Taotao..."
"Invite him to your house next time," Li Zhinan coaxed.
"Okay!" Ono's face looked disappointed.
Li Zhinan took his son directly to the company. It was still light outside, so Cheng Qian definitely didn't have time to eat.
In the office, Li Zhinan was working while his son was playing on the sofa next to him.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Li Zhinan took a look at the surveillance video outside the door and saw that it was Cheng Yan.
Li Zhinan immediately pressed the internal line and asked his assistant to invite Cheng Yan to the lounge next door to wait.
Cheng Yan was holding a gift in her hand and was looking forward to meeting Li Zhinan with great joy.
But the assistant came over and told her to go sit in the lounge and wait.
"Is Zhinan not in the office?" Cheng Yan's pretty face changed slightly. Every time she came, she would knock on the door and go in directly.
You will never be asked to wait in the lounge.
The assistant girl said in a businesslike manner, "Ms. Cheng, this is what Mr. Li meant."
Cheng Yan was a little unhappy, but didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and went to the lounge.
Li Zhinan sat at his desk, looking at his son who had grown taller and stronger not far away. Ever since Cheng Qian came back and took charge of her son's diet herself, the little guy had gone from being chubby to regaining the weight of a normal child, and now, he had even grown taller.
Li Zhinan's face instantly turned cold when he thought of what Cheng Qian had detected last time.
How could Cheng Yan feed his son such random food? Was it negligence on her part, or was it intentional?
Li Zhinan's mood suddenly became gloomy. He called his assistant in to take care of his son. He walked to the lounge with his long legs.
"Zhi Nan?" Cheng Yan saw his handsome figure and a gentle smile appeared on her brows: "Sorry, I came to see you without saying hello."
"Is there something wrong?" Li Zhinan, who was sitting next to her, asked her absentmindedly.
Cheng Yan observed his expression and seemed unhappy.
Cheng Yan immediately asked him in a low voice: "Aunt Jiang said that you and your cousin divorced. How could it be so sudden? Is it your cousin..."
"It's none of her business. Divorce was my decision." Li Zhinan interrupted Cheng Yan's fantasy before she finished speaking.
Cheng Yan immediately put on a well-behaved expression: "Oh, so what are your plans next?"
Cheng Yan expressed her concern for him.
"Work, make money, raise my son, and pursue my ex-wife." Li Zhinan didn't know what was wrong with him. When Cheng Yan asked him this, he blurted it out.
Cheng Yan's face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lower lip, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"Zhi Nan, you just said... chasing after your ex-wife? I don't quite understand. Didn't you just get divorced?" Cheng Yan wanted to force a nice smile, but it was too difficult, so her smile looked very ugly.
Li Zhinan lowered his eyes and glanced at his ring finger, where he was wearing a men's wedding ring. He gently turned his finger twice and said, "You heard me right. This is my next arrangement."
"But... there are so many good women in this world, why are you still entangled with her? I think you deserve someone better." Cheng Yan almost said her own name.
She was anxious and desperate. What was so good about Cheng Qian? Why did Li Zhinan still care about her even though they were divorced?
"She is a very good person. Before, I was blinded by the illusion and couldn't see the real her. Now, the mountain blocking us has been removed, and I suddenly realized that maybe she is a woman who is very suitable for me. I let her go just to have the chance to get to know her again one day." Li Zhinan did not hide his thoughts, but told Cheng Yan directly.
Cheng Yan's face looked as if she had been whipped, dark blue and ugly, and she was anxious and uneasy.
"Zhi Nan, if your cousin really loves you, how could she bear to leave you? If she doesn't love you anymore, no matter how hard you try to pursue her, it will only be a waste of time..."
"I like wasting my time on her." Li Zhinan said, then stood up: "Okay, I still have a meeting, you should leave first."
After Li Zhinan finished speaking, he was about to go out.
But at this moment, two slender arms suddenly came from behind and hugged him tightly.
"Zhi Nan, what should I do?" Cheng Yan's voice was choked with sobs. "I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to divorce her. Can you please come back and look at me? The me who has been waiting for you to be single again?"
When Li Zhinan heard Cheng Yan's sudden confession, the uncertain events in his mind seemed to suddenly come to a conclusion.
He ruthlessly pried Cheng Yan's fingers apart and turned to look at her: "Cheng Yan, do you like me?"
Cheng Yan was stunned, hurt by these words. She looked at the handsome man in front of her with tears in her eyes, her voice broken: "Zhi Nan, don't tell me, you only know how I feel about you now?"
"I'm sorry, I just realized it now." There was no trace of pity on Li Zhinan's face, only the calmness and rationality of a businessman.
"How could it be?" Cheng Yan wiped her tears, feeling even more aggrieved: "Over the years, I have been waiting by your side as a friend. Have you really not noticed?"
Li Zhinan narrowed his cold eyes and stared at her sharply: "I remember the day I confirmed that you were my savior. I was already married, and I asked you if you were willing to get along as siblings, and you said you wanted to be friends."
Cheng Yan was stunned, her face filled with sadness. "Yes, being a brother and sister has ruined my love for you. Only friends are the most suitable. Zhinan, you don't believe that friendship can really exist between adults, right?"
"You said we were friends, so I always treated us as friends. Cheng Yan, you suddenly told me your true feelings now. Are you jealous that Cheng Qian is my wife?" Li Zhinan asked her seriously.
Cheng Yan's breathing became rapid, and the emotions that could not be concealed in her eyes gave the answer.
"I like you, so of course I would be jealous of her. Love is a matter between two people. If there is a third person involved, it is impossible to tolerate it." Cheng Yan explained this simply to let Li Zhinan know how much she liked him.
But in Li Zhinan's eyes, this was evidence of conviction.
"So, you said you wanted to take care of Xiaoye for me, but in fact, you mixed pig feed containing excessive hormones into his rations?" Li Zhinan's eyes flashed with anger and he questioned her sternly.
Cheng Yan took two steps back in fright, her pretty face pale. She opened her mouth to deny: "No, I didn't. I never thought of harming Xiao Ye."
"Cheng Qian has already tested it, there must be nothing wrong. I remember those things. You said that you mixed them for Xiao Ye yourself. Cheng Yan, do you have a black heart? How dare you harbor such vicious thoughts towards a two-year-old child." His son is Li Zhinan's bottom line, and no one can touch him. Even though Cheng Yan was once his savior, she has no right to hurt his son.
