Dump Husband and Run Away with Baby - C200

“Dad, I’m back.” Lei Zichen arrived home and asked Lei Haotian tiredly, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Why did you take so long to return? “Has he been at Ellen’s house all this time?” Ever since Tao Tian left, not a single change in Lei Zichen’s expression had escaped Lei Haotian’s eyes. He knew his son well, and he naturally knew the reason behind all of this, but no matter how he tried to persuade him, Lei Zichen continued to act according to his own will. It was likely that Tao Yaotian had injured him to the point where he had no way of letting go.

Lei Zichen sent Irene home. After being away for such a long time, he must have gone off to find another woman to have fun with. Lei Haotian was well aware of this, but he did not expose her.

“Ugh …” “Yes, I sat at Ellen’s house for a while.” Lei Zichen thought for a moment and decided not to tell his father the truth.

“Zichen, don’t complain about Daddy’s nagging. You should know that you’re not young anymore, and you can’t always treat relationships as child’s play. Don’t think Daddy doesn’t know what you went to do tonight!” Lei Haotian loudly shouted in dissatisfaction as he saw that Lei Zichen didn’t reveal the truth.

“Why do you look like you don’t care? Are you right or not with Irene!”

“Father,” Lei Zichen calmly replied, “I have already decided to marry Irene.” Lei Zichen spoke slowly and carefully, as if he was telling his father, or him …

“What did you say!” It was obvious that Lei Haotian, who was still thinking about this, did not anticipate Lei Zichen’s decision. He asked in disbelief.

“I said, I’ve decided to marry Irene!” Lei Zichen spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. If it wasn’t for the complicated look between his eyebrows, Lei Haotian wouldn’t have believed that he was talking about himself.

“When did you decide?!” Within a few seconds, Lei Haotian accepted his son’s decision. After all, no matter who it was, this was a good thing.

“Actually, I’ve been planning this since I came back from S city.” Lei Zichen’s voice was very low. S City had become a sensitive word in his heart, and every touch would cause him a pain as sharp as a spike.

“Zichen, did something happen to you in S City? “Why do I always feel like you’ve been preoccupied since you came back?” Lei Haotian voiced out his doubts.

“It’s okay, Dad.” Lei Zichen lowered his head, not wanting his father to see his panicked expression.

“It’s fine, it’s good as long as you’re fine. How about this, we can find a time to meet up with Irene’s parents and finalise the details. Irene is a good girl, we can’t let her feelings get hurt.” Ever since Tao Tian left, Irene had been by his side the entire time. Even Lei Haotian was moved by this. It was not easy to see that both of them were about to succeed in their cultivation, especially when his own son finally returned to marriage. Lei Haotian was also very pleased.

“Okay, dad, then you and Uncle Ai will book it.” Lei Zichen nodded in agreement, “It’s late. Daddy, aren’t you going to rest?” Lei Zichen asked as he walked towards his bedroom.

“You’re going to sleep now. Have a good rest.” Lei Haotian glanced at Lei Zichen. Although he couldn’t see any joy in seeing someone about to enter the marriage chamber, he looked much calmer than before.

“Good night, Dad.” With that, Lei Zichen walked upstairs to his bedroom.

After the bath, Lei Zichen curled himself up in the soft blanket as usual, telling himself to forget about his past self, her past self, as well as An An, and An An’s bright and clear eyes. Lei Zichen hugged himself, like a baby in its mother’s womb, giving himself warmth.

Slowly, Lei Zichen closed his eyes as he tried to enter the dreamscape. He hoped that the flowers in the dream would bloom without being deceived or betrayed …

The next day was busy. After carefully reviewing the opinions of the shareholders regarding the West Mountain villa group, Lei Zichen let out a sigh of relief. After all, the majority of the shareholders had agreed to this decision.

He stretched lazily on his leather chair, lifting his wrist to look at his watch. “Wisely, it’s time to get off work. Let’s go.” Lei Zichen was in a good mood as he smiled at Wisely.

“Lei Dong, good to see you so punctual.” Wisely asked in surprise.

“That’s right. Today, after seeing all of the shareholders’ plans, I’m in a good mood.” As Lei Zichen spoke, he walked around his desk and put his arm around Wisely’s shoulders, giving her a ‘brother’ bear hug and laughed.

“I can tell that you’re in a good mood. Let’s go, it’s time to get off work. You even said that you had an appointment with Miss Irene this morning.” Wisely reminded him.

“Oh, yes!” After Wisely’s reminder, Lei Zichen suddenly remembered, “Hurry, hurry, let’s go.” Lei Zichen couldn’t help but quicken his pace, hurrying to the parking lot.

“Hey, Irene, are you anxious?” Lei Zichen asked while driving.

“I’m already on my way. I’ll be there in a moment. Don’t be in such a hurry.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Zhizhi, hurry up, I’m not in a hurry.” Hearing Lei Zichen’s urgent voice, Irene felt very gratified. With these words, it would be sufficient. So what if she was late?

“Okay, wait a moment. I’ll be there in ten minutes.” Lei Zichen hung up and started on his phone call. He suddenly felt like he was an outsider watching a movie that didn’t belong to him. All of the pain was related to him …

After a few turns, the car arrived at Irene’s company.

“Irene, I’m already downstairs, you can come down,” Lei Zichen dialled Irene’s number.

“Alright, I’ll be right down.” Irene didn’t dare to hesitate for even a second, grabbing her bag and rushing downstairs. From afar, Lei Zichen’s precious blue Porsche Carnival was exceptionally eye-catching. Irene faintly smiled, as if she already owned the whole world.

“Brother Zichen, I’m here.” Irene smiled at Lei Zichen and greeted him, then got into the car.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see the wedding dress.” Lei Zichen remained silent. He turned around and headed in the direction of Shijin Street.

“Oh.” Irene didn’t say anything more, but in terms of seven feelings, excitement was needless to say.

“By the way, when will Uncle Ai be free?” Lei Zichen asked as he drove. “You should meet with my dad sometime. It’s more formal, after all.” Lei Zichen said in a low voice.

“Well, I’ll have to go back and ask Dad, but as far as I know, maybe this weekend.” Irene was so excited that she couldn’t wait to become Lei Zichen’s bride.

“Alright, I’ll ask around when I get back, then remember to tell me.” Lei Zichen urged. Although he did not have much of an expression on his face, his tone was filled with a trace of gentleness.

Irene was glad that she had gone to S City, glad that her battle of wits with Tao Tian had won in the end. Although her methods were not very brilliant, for the sake of the people she loved, who would dare say that it was wrong? In the midst of her happiness, she had walked all the way here. In the end, she did not lose the embrace of this man, and instead, became her home.

“Mm, alright.” Irene obediently nodded her head, while looking at Lei Zichen with adoration.

“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat something after we finish the wedding dress.” Lei Zichen asked again. He still didn’t show any concern on his face, but his tone was much gentler than before.

“Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements.” Irene nodded with a sweet expression on her face.

The car finally squeezed into Shijin Street, found a parking space, parked the car, and Lei Zichen took Aileen to Bertie’s wedding dress.

“Mr. Lei, Miss Ai, welcome.” As soon as he entered, the waiter subconsciously lined up in two rows and bowed towards the two of them.

“Choose well. However, your beauty should look good in anything.” Lei Zichen coughed lightly, turned around and sat on a nearby bench.

The scene was so familiar. It felt like a lifetime had passed.

“Miss Ai, you’re so tall and slim, this fish-tailed yarn suits you the best.” One of the waiters followed closely behind Irene and introduced her to the others.

“Alright then, bring these guys over for me to try.” Erin selected a few of her favorite wedding dresses and told the waiter to hold them for her.

Lei Zichen, who was quietly waiting at the side, was distracted for a moment. It was as if this scene from his past had appeared before him at the same time as the person in his memories. He shook his head with all his might, trying to shake off this figure …

She was still with him, and she even had a child. Then why did she still have to think about how she was going to live her own life? She hoped that this marriage would bring her salvation …

“Brother Zichen, did you see that?” Irene was wearing a tight fish-tailed long dress with a long bottom, her face filled with excitement as she circled around Lei Zichen. She had been waiting for this moment for so long, it was as if she was born for this moment.

“It’s good, of course it’s good.” Lei Zichen narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Irene, but he couldn’t suppress the thoughts that kept churning in his mind.

“Of course, Miss Ai is born beautiful. She looks good in anything she wears.” The two of them had quite a strong background. If this deal was completed, it would definitely be a huge profit to them, so naturally, they could not slack off.

Hearing the waiter’s praise, Irene shyly lowered her head and secretly looked at Lei Zichen.

“Miss Ai, why don’t you try a few more?” The waiter suggested excitedly.

“Alright, bring me the newest and best ones.” Irene said in a loud voice, her spirits high.

Lei Zichen was bored out of his mind as he flipped through the pages of a magazine. He didn’t look at Irene, the same place, the same movements, but a different person, a different frame of mind …

“What do you think about this one, Brother Zichen?” In the blink of an eye, Irene had changed into a new set of palace sleeves and a fluffy, skirt-like wedding dress. She then walked out of the fitting room and displayed all kinds of different shapes in front of Lei Zichen, hoping to gain his approval.

“It’s still the same old one. This one doesn’t look good.” Lei Zichen was straightforward.

“Oh,” Irene somewhat embarrassedly lowered her head. After all, saying that she wasn’t beautiful in front of so many people made her look a little embarrassed. She didn’t say anything else as she turned around and went back to the fitting room to change into her wedding dress.
