After many years of marriage, she was reborn

Suddenly, Wei Lan changed the subject and asked, "Are you married? When?"

She widened her eyes and stared at Pei Di, as if trying to find the answer from his expression.

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Di's eyes, and he shook his head slightly.

In a calm tone, he said, "I am not married, but I do have a son."

This answer surprised Wei Lan so much that she just stood there in a daze.

"What?" Wei Lan asked in confusion.

She felt like she might have misheard or misunderstood Pei Di's meaning.

Her voice unconsciously rose an octave and she looked at Pei Di with an expression of disbelief.

"This is a long story, and it's getting late. Go and have a rest first. When I have time, I'll tell you slowly." Pei Di interrupted quickly.

He didn't want to talk too much about his son at this time because it would involve some complicated past and emotional entanglements.

He hopes to remain calm and avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Wei Lan looked at Pei Di with a complicated expression, her heart full of doubts and curiosity.

"Okay..." Wei Lan said slowly, trying to calm the waves in her heart, "Then I'll wait for you to find a suitable time to tell me."

Pei Di nodded and took Wei Lan to the room upstairs.

Entering the room, Wei Lan felt a wave of fatigue coming over her. She walked to the bed and collapsed on it.

Pei Di stood silently aside, looking at Wei Lan, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

"Have a good rest." Pei Di said softly, then turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Wei Lan closed her eyes, but her thoughts were still in a mess.

Pei Di’s son... She never thought that he actually had a child... What kind of story is hidden behind this?

At this moment, Wei Lan's cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence.

She glanced at the screen and saw the caller's name - Lin Zhixuan.

She hesitated, but finally picked up the phone.

"Lanlan, I'm sorry. I know you're still mad at me."

"But please believe me, I really regret it. Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake."

He let out a long sigh and continued, "There are some things we'd better talk about face to face." Lin Zhixuan's voice was full of self-blame and guilt.

Wei Lan listened to his apology quietly, feeling a complicated emotion in her heart.

Although she was disappointed and sad about Lin Zhixuan's behavior.

But she also understood that the relationship between them was not that simple.

Perhaps, giving him a chance to explain would be better for both of us.

"Okay, we can meet and talk, but I hope you can be honest this time." Wei Lan said calmly.

"Thank you, Lanlan. Once we've chosen a location, I'll send you a WeChat message when the time comes."

After Wei Lan hung up the phone, she felt even more depressed.

She didn't know how to face Lin Zhixuan, nor did she know whether this conversation would change their relationship.

Her heart was full of contradictions and anxieties, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

At the same time, Pei Di was in the living room downstairs, looking out the window thoughtfully.

The sunlight shone through the window onto his face, but it could not dispel the faint worry in his eyes.

He tapped his fingers on the tabletop as he pondered to himself.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and a deep male voice came from the other end: "Hello?"

Pei Di's voice was somewhat serious: "Make arrangements. I have to go to the branch office tomorrow."

The other party was silent for a moment, then replied: "Okay, boss, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Pei Di hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

He knew that he had to take care of some things himself.

Pei Di stood up, walked to the window and stared into the distance.

He had a strong sense of mission in his heart, as if there was a force driving him forward.

The next day, Pei Di came to the branch.

He walked straight into the conference room and started a tense discussion with senior executives.

At the meeting, Pei Di demonstrated outstanding leadership and decisive decision-making ability.

He proposed a series of reform measures aimed at improving the company's performance and competitiveness.

At the same time, Wei Lan also received Lin Zhixuan's message and agreed on the time and place of the meeting.

She decided to let go of the pain of the past, face him bravely and listen to his explanation.

With a nervous mood, Wei Lan arrived at the appointment on time.

This quiet cafe is located in a corner of the city. The environment is quiet and pleasant, as if it is isolated from the world.

The decoration inside the store is simple and elegant, and the lighting is soft and warm, creating a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

Lin Zhixuan and Wei Lan sat at a table by the window, looking at each other.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be an unspeakable emotion spreading in the air.

However, this emotion did not bring joy or relief, but instead made people feel a little depressed and heavy.

After a moment of silence, Lin Zhixuan finally broke the awkward atmosphere. He said softly, "Lanlan, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I made you suffer."

However, Wei Lan interrupted him without hesitation, her tone was a little cold: "Don't say anything, it's been so long, what's the point of me blaming you?"

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but more of it was firmness and determination.

Lin Zhixuan was struck by Wei Lan's words, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

He originally wanted to explain or apologize, but at this moment he felt that all words were so powerless.

He lowered his head silently, his heart full of guilt and helplessness.

"Lanlan, what are your plans for the future? Just tell me if you need me." Lin Zhixuan said in a low voice, with a hint of guilt and helplessness in his tone.

Wei Lan raised her head and looked at him coldly: "No need, there is nothing to talk about between us."

After saying that, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and prepared to leave.

Lin Zhixuan hurriedly grabbed her hand and tried to explain: "Lanlan, listen to me..."

However, Wei Lan struggled to break free from his hand, with a flash of determination in her eyes.

"I just want to live a good life now and don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." Wei Lan's voice was firm and indifferent.

She turned around, without even looking at Lin Zhixuan, and left her seat and walked out of the cafe without looking back.

Lin Zhixuan stared blankly at Wei Lan's departing back, his heart filled with loss and regret.

He knew that he had lost Wei Lan, and lost her forever.

In fact, Lin Zhixuan had never mentioned it to Weilan. When Weilan was first imprisoned, Lin Zhixuan used many connections to try to bail her out.

But the dark forces were too powerful and they had no intention of letting Wei Lan have an easy time.

He ran into obstacles everywhere, but still refused to give up.

Lin Zhixuan remembered that during that period, he was looking for clues and evidence almost every day, hoping to find evidence to prove Wei Lan's innocence.

However, I always ended up disappointed.

He visited their homes many times, but they treated him very coldly and even refused to communicate with him.

All this made Lin Zhixuan feel helpless and desperate.

Now, when he saw Wei Lan so determined to draw a line between herself and him, he realized that his efforts were too late.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he should have stood bravely by Wei Lan's side and faced the difficulties with her.

But now, everything is irreversible.

Lin Zhixuan sat silently in the cafe, recalling every detail of the past.

He thought of the good times they had spent together, but those sweet memories now became sharp blades that pierced his heart.

He regretted not having the courage and determination, and regretted not cherishing Wei Lan's feelings.

At this moment, Lin Zhixuan decided to start over and let go of the regrets and remorse of the past.

He knew that only in this way could he truly get out of the haze and embrace a new life.

Although he lost Wei Lan, he believed that as long as he worked hard and moved forward, there was still room for recovery.
