Although Zhan Mohan’s proposal might truly solve the biggest problem for Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong.
Didn’t Chen Yutong seem to be after money? And Zhan Mohan was giving them a considerable sum, even half of the inheritance, which was much more than they originally sought.
But Zhan Yangyi didn't know whether to accept it. It wasn't just Chen Yutong's problem anymore. For him, his suspicion of Chen Yutong had probably already hurt her deeply.
“Big Brother…” Wei Yumeng took a few steps towards Zhan Yangyi, wanting to say something, but Zhan Yangyi waved his hand.
“Let me think about what to do. Don’t follow me.”
With that, he walked out of the office alone, leaving the others behind.
Zhan Mohan first had Lin Bo sent back, and then returned to the office.
“Brother, are you really planning to do that?” Zhan Yichen was still hesitant.
Zhan Mohan nodded. “There is indeed my problem in this matter. I cannot deny it, nor can I shirk responsibility.”
He frowned as he spoke, knowing that perhaps such actions would not earn him forgiveness from Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong.
“Mohan, no matter what you decide, I will support you, and…” Wei Yumeng spoke, looking in the direction Zhan Yangyi had left. “And I believe that if Big Brother and Yutong are truly in love, there are no obstacles they cannot overcome.”
When Zhan Yangyi came back to his senses, he had already arrived at Chen Yutong’s residence, but stood at the door, not knowing what to do.
Perhaps he should knock and give Chen Yutong a sincere apology, but what if Chen Yutong still didn't forgive him?
It was precisely the fear of failure that made it harder for him to take this step.
Finally, he sighed. No matter what, he had to admit how much he missed Chen Yutong during this time, and how much he missed their happy days together.
None of this should have happened between them. So let him make a clean break.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Yutong, it’s me.”
Chen Yutong did not open the door for him.
“Yutong, I came here to apologize. We’ve found out what happened with Grandpa. I am truly sorry for what I said before.” He took a deep breath. “And… actually, these past few days, I’ve been thinking about our happy past. I also seem to understand what you’ve been worried about all along. Mohan has agreed to give us half of their inheritance. With this money, we can go back to our old life. Come home with me, okay?”
At this moment, Chen Yutong was on the other side of the door, and she heard everything Zhan Yangyi said.
She was indeed very angry that Zhan Yangyi would suspect her of killing Grandpa. But now, hearing Zhan Yangyi’s apology, although it seemed somewhat perfunctory, she wasn’t as angry anymore.
She knew that before things were cleared up, being suspected was unavoidable, especially since she couldn't prove her innocence.
As for the other matter, Zhan Yangyi receiving the extra inheritance from Zhan Mohan was naturally a good thing, and it indeed solved her long-standing worries.
But why did she still feel unable to forgive Zhan Yangyi so easily?
Chen Yutong did not open the door, and Zhan Yangyi stood by the door the whole time, as if nothing had happened between them, talking about what had happened these past few days, and even mentioning what he had prepared for the child.
Although Chen Yutong didn’t speak, Zhan Yangyi knew she was on the other side of the door.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yutong even leaned against the door and accidentally fell asleep. Even at this moment, her heart still felt most at ease when she was close to Zhan Yangyi.
In fact, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep recently. Hadn’t she also been longing for their past life?
When Chen Yutong woke up, it was already dark. She hadn’t expected to sleep for so long, and Zhan Yangyi’s voice was no longer outside the door.
She hesitated for a few moments, then finally grasped the doorknob and opened the door.
Her heart pounded. What should she do if Zhan Yangyi was still at the door? What if he wasn’t there?
The moment she opened the door seemed to stretch on for her.
But in the end, all she felt was disappointment. The outside was empty, and no one was there.
Chen Yutong felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She suddenly lost all her energy and let out a wry smile.
Zhan Yangyi had promised to be with her forever, but why did he leave just when she was about to forgive him?
Although the incident might have been caused by her, her love for Zhan Yangyi had never been fake.
Just as she was about to close the door in disappointment, Zhan Yangyi’s voice came from the other end of the corridor.
“Yutong!”
Chen Yutong was startled, not knowing whether to be happy or still angry.
Seeing that Chen Yutong hadn’t retreated inside this time, Zhan Yangyi was relieved and quickly showed her what he was holding.
“I checked the time just now. It’s almost time for your dessert, so I specifically went to buy some. Do you want to try it? Yumeng recommended this place, it should be good.”
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Yangyi, and finally, tears of grievance streamed down her face.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Chen Yutong cry, Zhan Yangyi didn't know what to do.
“Do you know, I almost thought you really didn’t want me anymore. I almost thought you really left…”
Hearing this, Zhan Yangyi pulled Chen Yutong into his arms. “Silly, how could I not want you? Come home with me, okay? Everything is over now…”
Chen Yutong finally nodded. “Mhm.”
Zhan Yangyi then let out a sigh of relief. “Yutong, I swear, this kind of thing won’t happen again. I will always trust you, believe in you, and stand on your side.”
“Of course I believe you. After all, who else could tolerate you besides me?” Chen Yutong said this, but her heart was filled with unprecedented sweetness.
Perhaps it was this feeling of having lost and regained something that made all the previous misunderstandings or rifts seem unimportant.
As Chen Yutong left with Zhan Yangyi, they also encountered the building manager.
“That’s right. Couples arguing is just a temporary thing. Young man, you have to treat your wife well from now on. She’s often been crying secretly at home by herself recently.”
Chen Yutong was a bit helpless. The building manager lived right next door to her.
Zhan Yangyi held Chen Yutong’s hand tightly. “Don’t worry, ma’am, I will take good care of her.”
