Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 14 I won’t let you go

Lin Wanran first met Liu Changcun at the freshman orientation when she was fifteen years old.

He was so dazzling when he gave his speech as a representative of the new students.

Without holding a prepared speech, he simply adjusted the microphone height and began his speech in front of the entire school.

The intense public attention did not intimidate the young man.

He seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of gaze.

That was the first time Lin Wanran felt her heart flutter.

After the conference ended, she was incredibly lucky to become classmates with the other person.

Lin Wanran was seated on the left side of the classroom, while Liu Changcun sat on the right side.

She became infatuated with this dazzling young man.

From that moment on, Lin Wanran could only see Liu Changcun.

During class, at the end of class, after school...

He was very tall, more than half a head taller than the group of male classmates who hadn't yet developed.

He was tall and straight, and the simple school uniform looked tailor-made on him.

Moreover, his outstanding academic performance made him the center of attention among all the girls in the school in a very short time.

Even during breaks, many girls from other classes would gather outside the classroom.

Whenever he looked toward the door, the group of girls would let out a frantic scream.

The lively and cheerful Lin Wanran in her youth contrasted sharply with the taciturn Liu Changcun.

Their paths crossed when they switched seats.

As her deskmate, she began to interact with the boy for the first time.

The more a person lacks something, the more they crave it.

A sullen boy is attracted to a talkative and cheerful girl.

Liu Changcun, whose parents died early, was taken care of by his relatives, but those relatives all had their own families.

They only pooled their money to ensure he had food and drink, but rarely provided him with the warmth of a home.

Lin Wanran, on the other hand, comes from a single-parent family.

Her father died early, and her mother raised her alone.

Similar experiences brought the two closer together, and they unknowingly developed feelings for each other.

From classmates to lovers.

Lin Wanran taught Liu Changcun what love is.

A teenager tutors a girl to improve her academic performance.

Support each other and make progress together.

It was during this time of spending every day together that their love reached its peak.

However, relationships without material support cannot last.

The two people who were once so in love gradually went astray as time went by.

The lively and cheerful Lin Wanran of the past has unknowingly disappeared.

Now she is sharp-tongued and unable to settle for a mundane daily life.

Having witnessed a society rife with materialism, Lin Wanran truly realized what kind of life she wanted.

Perhaps she fell in love with Liu Changcun back then.

It wasn't because the boy who gave the speech at the freshman orientation was so brilliant.

Instead, they were superior to ordinary students.

Inside the bookstore.

Seeing that the man no longer focused his attention on her, Lin Wanran, her face growing colder, completely abandoned any remaining affection.

She wanted to see the other person take the initiative to apologize to her, just like it had happened countless times before.

"You thought I came here to see you? How narcissistic of you."

After letting out a cold snort, Lin Wanran's voice rang out in the bookstore.

"I only came here because of my child."

Not wanting to waste any more time on men, she added impatiently.

"What size are their clothes? I want to buy new clothes for my child."

"..."

"say!"

"Are you still their mother?"

Hearing Lin Wanran's impatient urging, Liu Changcun, who was completely speechless, never imagined that there was such a woman in the world.

When he first heard that the other party had come for the child, he thought that Lin Wanran in front of him was at least a human being.

But what he added next left Liu Changcun speechless.

As a mother, a mother who has gone through the hardship of giving birth to two children.

You don't even know your child's clothing size?

The noise outside the store started again.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime at No. 16 Middle School.

But no matter how noisy it was outside the store, Liu Changcun inside felt eerily quiet.

He didn't know how Liu Changcun had tolerated the other party in the past.

How did she manage to persevere through this 15-year marriage?

"If you don't want the owner of that car outside the store to hear about your divorce, you'd better leave now."

"..."

After a long silence, he finally uttered this sentence.

It's easy to tell from Lin Wanran's expression that this sentence really hit her weak spot.

She was already strikingly beautiful, and never revealed that she was married to anyone at the company.

Subconsciously taking a step back, Lin Wanran felt a sense of fear and realized that she had been so easily threatened by the other party.

She gritted her teeth, her body wanting to continue arguing with the man.

But reason told her that it was best to give up.

Although she didn't know if Liu Changcun would reveal that she had not only been married once, but also divorced.

But she didn't dare to gamble.

Even if the possibility is only one percent, she doesn't want her "unmarried" persona at the company to completely collapse.

In just a few seconds, Lin Wanran's expression changed several times.

She glared at Liu Changcun before leaving, seemingly only intending to swallow her anger for the time being.

As she left the bookstore, still fuming, she completely failed to notice the figure standing outside.

He strode toward the parked car.

Unlock and get in.

Only when I was in the enclosed space of the car could my suppressed emotions be released.

His chest heaved violently, and his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Today's trip made Lin Wanran extremely angry.

She thought she would hear Liu Changcun plead with her to stay, or say that he regretted his impulsive divorce.

Unexpectedly, instead of hearing what she wanted to hear, she was berated by that man. Before, she could freely berate or insult Liu Changcun.

After all, the other party couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

But now Liu Changcun seems to have become a different person. Not only does she not have any advantage in words, but she herself can't say anything else after a few words.

Could divorce really change a person so much?
"Dong dong."

Lin Wanran, who was deep in thought, was attracted by the sound of knocking on the car window.

Slowly raising his head, he looked at the figure outside the dark sunshade film.

Her son's unusual hairstyle made her recognize him at a glance.

He was taken aback at first, then managed a rare smile on his face, which was full of anger.

He hurriedly rolled down the car window and saw the boy appear in front of him.

"Songyan, what's wrong with you..."

"Please don't bother our family of three anymore."

"..."

A stiff smile froze on her face.

The boy in front of me, whose eyes were covered by bangs, spoke in an extremely calm tone.

His eyes, hidden beneath his hair, were fixed on the woman sitting inside the car.

"If some of your actions have hurt Wanqiu."

There was a slight pause.

"I won't let you go."

Leaving behind these parting words, Liu Songyan turned and walked around the front of the car toward the bookstore not far away.

He didn't hear the whole conversation in the bookstore.

However, when Lin Wanran asked her father about her and her sister's clothing sizes, he heard it clearly.

If his father was sick and bedridden, he was only disappointed that his mother never visited him even once.

Now, after hearing what the other party asked, even the feeling of disappointment no longer arises.

Liu Wanqiu's mood had finally improved, and he didn't want Lin Wanran's appearance to hurt his sister again.

Not saying anything too harsh was the last bit of dignity he, as a son, left for the other party.

not far away.

Chi Jinhe stood obediently to the side, holding three boxed lunches in her hands, and witnessed this scene.

When Liu Songyan walked to her side, she, who had been looking up, hurriedly lowered her head again.

"Give me... a boxed lunch."

She reached out her hand again as she helped carry the lunchbox.

Only after Liu Songyan received it did he dare to cautiously raise his head.

Liu Songyan turned around and looked at the car parked on the side of the road.

It took more than ten seconds before the car started.

With a quick press of the accelerator, we sped away from the area.

"Come inside."

Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Songyan uttered only this one sentence.

He strode into the bookstore carrying two boxed lunches.

When Liu Changcun heard the noise, he initially thought it was that ungrateful woman Lin Wanran returning.

I was just about to toss the notebook I was holding over.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, she would find it was her own son.

His eyes blinked, and he slowly lowered the hand that was holding the notebook.

"Why did you bring a boxed lunch again?"

"There are no seats left in the cafeteria."

Without batting an eye, Liu Songyan spouted nonsense. He first took the boxed lunch out of the bag, took one for himself, and then opened it.

He turned around and looked at the bookstore, which was mostly empty, and froze just as he was about to take a bite.

"Dad, where are the books in the store?"

"It's been dealt with; we're going to get some shows that young people like to watch."

As she responded, she also opened the lunchbox her son handed her.

Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Changcun caught a glimpse of the girl sneaking into the store. He saw her move closer to Liu Songyan and quietly open her lunchbox.

His hands paused, and his gaze shifted back and forth between the two children.

This kid...

They're pretty quick.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Liu Changcun had a strange feeling that even his own pig had grown up.

Speaking of this girl named Chi Jinhe, although she lacks a certain temperament, her appearance and figure are quite good.

And he seems honest and upright; he shouldn't be the type to cause trouble.

Chi Jinhe noticed Liu Changcun's gaze.

She was naturally shy, so she quietly looked away, opened the lunchbox in her hand, and picked up the only meat dish with her chopsticks.

A chicken leg that looks fairly delicious.

He used chopsticks to lift the food and hand it to the side, only putting it into Liu Songyan's lunchbox before pulling the chopsticks back.

"..."

Witnessing this, both father and son fell silent.
