"Don't worry, we're home now. Rest well, don't think about anything else, okay?"
Zhan Yang said as he gently placed Chen Yutong on the bed. This was the bed they used to sleep in together.
But Chen Yutong held onto him tightly, unwilling to let go. "No, I won't let go. If I let go, you'll leave again."
Zhan Yang said helplessly, "This is our home, where else would I go?"
"Our home?" Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yang, tears welling up in her eyes. "You're not driving me away anymore? Can I stay?"
Zhan Yang pulled Chen Yutong into his arms again. "No, I've realized I was wrong. I won't let you go, never again."
Hearing this, Chen Yutong burst into tears, then pretended to be angry. "Even though you say that, I won't forgive you. Back then, you threatened me in such a way to make me divorce you, and then there was that day..."
Chen Yutong proceeded to list all of Zhan Yang's recent wrongdoings one by one.
"And also!" Chen Yutong suddenly looked at Zhan Yang very seriously. "I have a very important question I must ask clearly!"
"Okay, go ahead," Zhan Yang looked at Chen Yutong with nothing but doting in his eyes.
Having lost her once, Zhan Yang understood even more how hard-won this relationship was. All he wanted now was to cherish the person in his arms even more.
"Did... did you ever develop feelings for Geng Sitian?" Chen Yutong asked, still sounding a little sad. "I know she's younger than me, more innocent. You men always like younger women."
"No, I didn't," Zhan Yang's tone was firm, as if he were swearing to Chen Yutong. "I never liked her at all. If anything, I had a slight initial impression of her, but that was just a superficial impression of a person, it couldn't be called any kind of feeling."
"Then that time, you argued with me for her in front of others." Chen Yutong felt indignant just thinking about it.
"I'm sorry," Zhan Yang took Chen Yutong's hand and gently kissed it. "The situation was different then, and I really didn't control my temper. I'll make it up to you, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yang. How could she not know that the responsibility for that incident wasn't solely Zhan Yang's?
If she hadn't been jealous of Geng Sitian being with Zhan Yang, things wouldn't have escalated to that point.
"Alright, your questions are done, it's my turn," Chen Yutong took a deep breath and looked at Zhan Yang seriously. "I think between the two of us, I'm the one who should apologize the most. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have been at the point of having to divorce back then."
Chen Yutong lowered her head, like a child who had done wrong. "I've reflected properly. I know what I should do in the future so as not to make things difficult for you, and I know what I shouldn't do again. I just want to be by your side forever, living with you. That's enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhan Yang sealed her lips.
At first, Chen Yutong was a little taken aback, but soon she responded to Zhan Yang's kiss. It was a long time before Zhan Yang let her go.
"This time, I really won't let go of you again," Zhan Yang's eyes burned with an unusual intensity, and his voice became hoarse from the kiss.
Chen Yutong knew what he wanted now, and she nodded slightly. "Me neither."
But just as Zhan Yang was about to move closer to Chen Yutong again, he somehow touched something, and let out a muffled groan of pain.
Chen Yutong then realized what had happened. Ignoring Zhan Yang's protests, she pushed him away to check him.
"You're injured!" Chen Yutong's eyes were full of concern.
Zhan Yang had been injured even in that dangerous situation just now.
His arm had a large, purplish bruise. Although there was no cut, it was already swollen.
"This little injury, I'm fine," Zhan Yang said, and reached out to embrace Chen Yutong again.
"Don't move!" Chen Yutong pushed Zhan Yang away. "We're going to the hospital now. What if it's serious?"
Seeing Chen Yutong's insistence, Zhan Yang had no choice but to agree obediently. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Who else would I listen to if not my wife?"
After the doctor's examination, Zhan Yang's arms had various degrees of injuries. Although Zhan Yang himself didn't think it was a major problem, Chen Yutong insisted he stay in the hospital and only be discharged after his injuries were completely healed.
On the day of his discharge, they discussed having a celebration party for Zhan Yang and Chen Yutong.
It was to celebrate their reconciliation and Zhan Yang's discharge from the hospital.
When Chen Yutong arrived at the hospital, she saw everyone else standing outside the ward. She found it a bit strange.
However, this was the first time she had seen them all since her reconciliation with Zhan Yang.
Wei Yumeng greeted her as usual. Zhan Yichen smiled at her kindly. Even Mu Linjing looked at her.
This made Chen Yutong feel anew that she had truly returned to this family.
"Why are you all standing here?"
Zhan Yichen shrugged. "Ge said he wanted to have a private talk with Big Brother, so we all came out."
Chen Yutong understood. During Zhan Yang's hospitalization, she had heard him explain how the incident was ultimately resolved. It was perfectly logical for Zhan Mohan to want to speak with Zhan Yang.
"Geng Sitian has been apprehended," Zhan Mohan said indifferently.
Zhan Yang sighed. "In this matter, perhaps it wasn't entirely her fault. If I hadn't given her the wrong signals, she wouldn't have mistakenly thought I was interested in her."
"There's never a right or wrong in matters of the heart. As for what to do, that was her own choice. She made those foolish mistakes herself, and no one else can be blamed for it."
Zhan Mohan did not believe for a moment that the incident was Zhan Yang's fault.
"If I hadn't impulsively made her my assistant back then, perhaps none of what happened later would have occurred."
As Zhan Yang thought about it, he couldn't help but recall some of the moments he had spent with Geng Sitian.
Though they hadn't spent much time together, it seemed like many things had happened. Unfortunately, none of these events made Zhan Yang feel they were worth cherishing.
After this incident, there would be no further connection between him and Geng Sitian.
"What do you plan to do?" Zhan Yang asked.
"I will formally sue her through the legal public relations department of Zhan Corporation, following the normal procedures."
"That's good. She certainly needs to take responsibility for what she did. Once she's held accountable, everything will be officially over."
Zhan Yang said, his thoughts drifting out the window.
For Geng Sitian, he could only be considered a wrong person met at the wrong time.
