Chapter 128: Let Go of the Past and Face the Future
ic eye on them and her being a public figure, she was bound to be followed and harassed.Lu Yaoyao ignored him and walked straight out the door to his car parked in the yard. She got into the passenger...Shu Ma glared at her and said, "Shut up."
"I'll continue to tell Zhuo Yu'an: 'Auntie isn't qualified for you to call her Mom because she's selfish. With Lanlan's family background, marrying her must have put tremendous pressure on you. But don't worry, after Lanlan came to Senzhou, she changed her ID card and household registration book. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know about our family affairs. Moreover, Auntie will be living in the hospital from now on and won't come out. You guys can just pretend I don't exist. Auntie absolutely won't burden you.'"
Shu Ma is sincere, and this also means her illness has basically recovered. However, the most important reason she refuses to let her daughter take her home is that she doesn't want to burden her daughter and affect her normal life. She would rather stay in the hospital than do that.
Her life was ruined, she couldn't ruin her daughter's life too.
"From now on, if your parents ask, tell them that Lanlan's parents are both deceased."
Shu Tinglan listened beside him, feeling both saddened and angry.
"Mom, what do you think I am In this world, you are the most important person to me. No one is more important than you."
"Lanlan, from now on, the most important person in your life is Yu'an. If you come to visit me at the hospital occasionally, I will be very content."
Only a mother's love is unconditional and selfless.
Shu Tinglan thought, was it because she was too useless Had she not given her mother enough security, which led to her overthinking like this.
Zuo Yu'an finally understood what Shu Ma meant. Shu Ma and his mother were completely different types of women. His mother was strong, confident, with a strong desire to control. There were no words like tolerance, kindness, or sacrifice in her dictionary.
While Shu Ma is the opposite, she can sacrifice herself unconditionally for her daughter.
You can't say which of the two mothers is better or worse because they were raised in different environments. But Shu Ma touched him deeply, even made him grateful. At least Shu Tinglan grew up in an environment of his mother's wholehearted love. Just for that, Shu Ma deserves his respect.
He lowered his voice and said, "Mom, what you're saying is wrong. Since I've married Tinglan, you are my mother. From now on, both Tinglan and I will take care of you together. We'll face any problems together."
Shu Ma, seeing his sincerity, felt even more at ease entrusting her daughter to him. Her heart was truly content, and she had no regrets. Her thoughts wouldn't change, but she decided to drop the heavy subject.
"Are you hungry Let's go eat."
After the three people finished their meal, Shu Ma went to take an afternoon nap.
Shutinglan was in the living room looking up car information on her phone. She hadn't researched cars much, just chose one based on the brand, price range, and appearance she liked. Now she was hurriedly learning about the various functions of the car.
Zhuo Yu an sat beside her and saw the webpage she was browsing on her phone.
"Want to buy a car"
"Hmm." she replied coolly, not telling him that she had already bought it. It was none of his business, and she didn't feel like talking about it.
"What kind do you like I'll take you to see it."
Just take a look.
"Do you have a driver's license"
"Yes."
"Dare you hit the road again I'll take you for some practice first."
"Let's talk about it another time. I'm a bit tired today."
"Okay."
This conversation was just making up things to say, it was so awkward. Shu Tinglan looked at her phone for a while and then went to take a nap.
She spent the whole weekend at her place, and on Sunday evening she sent her mother back to the hospital before returning home with Zhuo Yunan. His house was several times larger than hers. Living there, Shu Tinglan occasionally felt a sense of unreality, like a dream. To be honest, if she had a choice, she would prefer her own small house.
Even when sleeping at night, the two of them remained very intimate. Whether before or after marriage, Zhuo YUAN always considered her feelings first and his own needs second in this matter. Their compatibility was high, so they enjoyed it endlessly.
Shu Tinglan liked watching his expression as he struggled between losing control and restraining himself.
She liked listening to his low, slightly panting voice calling her name over and over.
He liked kissing her forehead, still damp with sweat, after they were done. ;
It's just that she loves him with all her heart and mind, when he only has her in his thoughts.
Sexuality, for her, was no longer the normal, everyday physiological need that Lin Zhi had once described. Now, it was a collision of body and soul, something beautiful because she loved this person, and therefore wanted to share these intimate moments with him. It was no longer just a basic, like-eating need.
The word "love" flashed through her mind for the first time, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Did she love this man She loved this man!
The more she acknowledged this fact, the harder she cried, for it brought despair. Once in love, all her joys, sorrows, and anger became intertwined with his, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"What's wrong" Zhuo Yu'an was startled to see her crying and hurriedly turned on the large light inside the room.
Shu Tinglan shook her head, turned off the big light, leaving only the bedside lamp from before. She didn't want him to see how vulnerable she was.
"Did I hurt you" Zhuo Yu'an leaned down and looked at her, gently wiping away her tears.
"No, you should get some sleep." Shu Tinglan pulled his hand and lay down, he naturally hugged her into his arms.
"Is there anything you want to tell me"
"Fine," she replied in the dim light. But deep down, she knew that many things were pointless to say.
Just now, my emotions got the better of me and I cried for a bit. Now, I'm calm again. I drifted off to sleep as Zhuo Yuyan gently patted my back.
The next morning, she was still washing up when she received a call from the sales department of the 4th store, asking her to pick up the car that morning. She was still not very confident driving alone and glanced at Zhuo Y uan, thinking about asking him for help, but she was also afraid that he would say that she bought the car without telling him. Just as she was struggling, Zhuo Yu an called her from outside the door.
"Tinglan, are you okay"
"That's all."
The two walked side by side from the lower floors to the parking garage in an elevator. Zhu Yu'an held her hand to his car and pointed at a BMW beside it.
“You'll be driving this one from now on.”
This model costs around 1 million yuan on the market, and Ms. Xiao, their director, also drives a car of this price range.
"No."
"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to buy a car And this one is perfect for you." He knew she wasn't fond of being flashy, so he specially chose this more understated model.
Yesterday Lin Zhixuan accompanied me to buy a car, and now we're going to the dealership to pick it up.” I might as well tell him the truth anyway.
As expected, Zhuo Yu'an's face darkened when he heard her words. Especially when she followed Shu Tinglan to store 4 and saw the car she had chosen, his face became even worse.
"Shu Tinglan, are you intentionally trying to irritate me"
The sales person beside him thought he disagreed with the female customer buying a car and hurriedly explained.
“Sir, this car performs very well. Let me introduce it to you further.”
"No need, we're not buying this car." He put his arm around Shu Tinglan's shoulder and was about to leave.
Seeing him so domineering, she thought to herself, “He’s tall, handsome and looks like a star. I didn't expect him to be so petty. Truly, there are all kinds of men.”ally about his personal issues, but more about a power struggle between two factions.This man, Zhuo Hong, valued his career more than anyone else. He was willing to help with Lu Shaochin's matter beca...
