Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 1195

YunyiYunyi

“Qian Lan, you didn’t need to come out here to explain yourself to me. I’m not upset,” Mo Zichen replied. “Besides, I honestly think that family is more important than anything. You shouldn’t argue with your parents because of a person you don’t know well.”

Mo Zichen’s response made Qian Lan feel even worse.

After all, his every word sounded like he was viewing the situation from a bystander’s point of view. Never did he consider that she had come out here all on her own, just because she was worried that he was upset.

“I understand…” Qian Lan mumbled. “I’m glad that you’re not upset. I’m going to go. Thank you for your jacket.”

“I’ll drive you…”

“That’s not necessary,” Qian Lan said before she quickly turned to leave. However, after a couple of steps, she paused and said to Mo Zichen, “I thought I meant something different to you. But, I guess I’m no different to everyone else.”

“I’m sorry!”

Qian Lan shook her head. There was nothing to be sorry about. Some people needed​ to give things a try before they found out whether they suited each other or not.

If their identities were the obstacle between them, she could have tried her best to reduce the gap. But, if Mo Zichen felt nothing for her, then all her hard work would simply go to waste.

So, it was time to forget about him and give up instead of humiliating herself.

After causing so much drama, Qian Lan returned home to find her mother waiting for her in the living room. When Mother Qian saw the spaced out look on her daughter’s face, her heart ached, “Lan Er, can’t you give your mother a peace of mind? What’s so good about that poor rascal?”

“If you guys insist on interfering with every facet of my life, I might as well die. It’s easier that way.” Qian Lan hated having her life controlled by others. “Mom, if you don’t believe me, then give it a try.”

After speaking, Qian Lan wiped her nose and added, “By the way, you don’t need to worry, I won’t be contacting Mo Zichen anymore. He was never interested in me anyway!”

Afterwards, Qian Lan weakly returned to her room and collapsed onto her bed.

She couldn’t understand why she was born into a family like this. Why did she have such controlling parents? She simply wanted a normal relationship and life.

…

The next day, Qian Lan and Mo Zichen happened to run into each other in the school cafeteria. This had never happened before.

The two of them simultaneously avoided the other’s eyes and found a seat to sit down in.

Qian Lan’s friend noticed the awkward atmosphere and guessed what had happened between the two, so she held onto her tray and sat down opposite Qian Lan to comfort her, “I told you ages ago that the two of you weren’t from the same world. Look how awkward things are now.”

“I still like him, but he doesn’t like me,” Qian Lan replied.

“What? Are you trying to say that he rejected you?” her friend was shocked. “That poor as*hole doesn’t know what’s good for him! Doesn’t he know that he missed out on a relationship with the mayor’s daughter?”

“You’re saying this because you didn’t hear how my sister insulted him with money,” Qian Lan laughed.

“No wonder,” Qian Lan’s friend understood because the Qian Family were indeed frightening. “What do you plan to do now? You must have been crying a lot last night. Your eyes are all swollen.”

“I’m not sure either,” Qian Lan shook her head. “I guess I’ll just accept my fate and listen to my parents. I’ll go on a few blind dates, get married and never return to that family again.”

“Does that mean you’re giving up on Mo Zichen?”

Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen in the distance and felt her heart ache. If Mo Zichen had shown even the slightest bit of interest in her, she would have persevered to the end. But…

…how was she to know that Mo Zichen had his difficulties. As an intelligence officer he had signed a confidentiality agreement to keep his identity a secret. So, for Qian Lan, he was someone that could disappear at anytime. Why would she want a lover like that?
