MARRIAGE FIRST, TRUE LOVE LATER NOVEL - Chapter 227

227 Are you my father?

Lin Li looked at the cigarette butts all over the floor and coughed. She frowned and said, ” cough cough … Why, why do you smoke so much? cough cough … he rarely smoked. Other than the time she saw him smoking alone in the car in the office compound, she had never seen him smoke before, not even in the company.

Zhou han looked at her and said coldly, ” “Get out.” As he said that, he opened the window in front of him, then raised his hand and took another deep breath.

Lin Li didn’t go out. She couldn’t bear to see him so dispirited. She put down her hand that was covering her mouth and said, ” “Stop smoking.” As he said that, he bent forward and reached out to snatch the half-smoked cigarette from his hand. Then, he threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his slippers a few times.

Zhou han looked at her coldly and didn’t say anything. He took the box of cigarettes on the window sill and took out another cigarette. He took the lighter and was about to light it up.

“Don’t draw anymore!” Lin Li reached out to grab it again, but he dodged and missed.

Zhou han looked at her coldly. get out, ” he said. you don’t need to care about my business. As he spoke, he lit the cigarette again.

Lin Li’s nose was in pain, but she resisted the urge to cough. She looked at Zhou han with a sullen face and said, ” can you solve the problem by smoking here? it has already happened. What you have to do is face it, not run away. Now that the rumors are flying everywhere, what you have to do is not smoke here, not let the reports continue to go crazy, but stand out and explain clearly!

“Ha.” Zhou han sneered and took another deep breath of the cigarette in his hand. The White smoke ring slowly floated in the air.

Lin Li’s throat was a little itchy from the high-density smoke in the air, and she coughed a few times.

Zhou han said, ” “Explain? ha, what’s there to explain? everything written in the newspapers is true. They know more than I do. What else can I explain?” As he spoke, he took another puff. It was a very fierce one. It had only been two puffs, but the Scarlet Flame had already burned half of the cigarette.

Lin Li was silent. Looking at him, she suddenly felt a lot of emotions that she couldn’t understand. She knew that the biggest victim of this incident wasn’t Ling LAN, who was exposed to be having a rotten private life. Instead, it was this man in front of her who had betrayed his brother and his parents for a woman like that. He had given up everything for a woman, and he thought that he could get that woman’s love. However, he didn’t expect that not only did that woman not give him the love he wanted, but she also ruined the love he gave her. Even the child made him feel absolutely humiliated.

He had too many grievances and heartache, too many sorrows and feelings. Compared to him, Lin Li suddenly felt that she was lucky. Even if she had given all her love for Chengxiang, although she didn’t get his love in the end, she still had friends and parents who loved her. In comparison, she suddenly felt that she had nothing to complain about.

He felt like he was being ridiculed after being stripped naked. He had used up all his strength to accept the fact that the child was not him. He had finally accepted it bit by bit, but now the incomplete wound had been opened up and the old wound had been cut with a knife, making the original wound open deeper and more serious!

Looking at his back, Lin Li suddenly felt a little heartache. She softly called out, ” “Zhou han …”

Zhou han didn’t look back. He put out the cigarette in his hand on the window sill, then poured out another cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it skillfully, and took a deep breath. He said coldly without any emotion, ” “Get out.”

Although Lin Li was a little uncomfortable from the smoke in the room, she didn’t turn around and leave.

She was not only worried about him, but also the little guy in the room. She was afraid that if things continued like this, the child would find out sooner or later. Xiao bin was different from other children of the same age. Due to his fiery environment since he was young, he matured early and was more sensitive. No matter whose child he was, he was still a child. He could not choose his own parents. But now, he had to bear the responsibility of her parents ‘preposterous mistakes. It was too cruel for a child.

Every time those big black eyes looked at her, she would always think of that child who wasn’t fated to be with her. She would always think that if that child didn’t leave back then, would he look at her like how Xiao bin looked at her a few years later? every time she thought of this, she would give all the love she didn’t have time to give that child to Xiao bin. She wanted to dote on him so that he wouldn’t be so fearful anymore and wanted to protect him. He wanted him to learn how to smile like his peers.

cough, cough … even though the window had been opened, the strong smell of smoke did not dissipate completely. Lin Li was originally a little sensitive to the smell of smoke, and now that it was so strong and choking, she felt even more uncomfortable. However, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, Lin Li was not prepared to retreat and leave. She looked at Zhou han and said, ” I, I know that you’re upset right now, but it has already happened. We can only accept it. The only thing we can do now is to face it. You can’t continue to be depressed like this. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for the company. You have to think for father and mother Zhou. You also have to think about Xiaobin. He’s still so young, and he’s sensitive and mature early. We can find excuses and reasons to lie to him now, but how long can we hide it? if he hears about this, Have you ever thought about whether he can accept it? after all, he’s only a child, only seven years old!”

Zhou han didn’t say anything and didn’t turn back. He just kept frowning the cigarette in his hand and smoking more and more. It was as if he wanted to use the nicotine to numb his nerves. Once he was numb, he wouldn’t have to think about it anymore and wouldn’t have to face those naked people.

It was a bloody wound that had been clawed open by someone!

Lin Li looked at him. Her heart ached for him, but at the same time, she was a little angry. She reached out to pull him down, not caring that her hand was burned by the cigarette butt. She directly reached out to snatch the cigarette from his hand and angrily shouted at him, ” Zhou han, are you even listening to me? what have you done to yourself? is it useful for you to hide at home and smoke? will the reporters disappear if you smoke? Don’t you know that the more you keep silent, the more it means that you admit that those are the facts? Do you think Yingluo ”

“Those are the facts!” shut up! Zhou han shouted and interrupted her. He looked at her coldly and clenched his hands tightly.

Lin Li was really a little frightened by his aura. She looked at him and was about to say, ” you …

However, Zhou han didn’t give her a chance to speak. He directly shouted at her in a violent manner, ” “What do you want me to explain to the media? which one of the articles in the newspapers isn’t true? F * cking Ling LAN is having an affair behind my back. F * cking Xiao bin isn’t even my son. I was cuckolded for 7 years and raised someone else’s son for 7 years. The F * cking truth written in the newspapers is even more real than the truth. What do you want me to explain? Explain why I betrayed my brother for a few years for that woman? there’s only one answer, i f * cking deserve it!”

Lin Li was stunned and looked at him fixedly. She was completely unable to react and didn’t know what to say at all. She could only stand there in a daze.

Zhou han also looked at her. His chest was panting heavily because of the roar just now. After a while, when his breath calmed down a little, he suddenly turned around and prepared to leave. However, when he passed her and was about to walk to the door of the study, he suddenly stopped. His eyes looked at the small figure at the door and his hands subconsciously clenched.

Lin Li came back to her senses and turned her profile picture to say something, but she was stunned when she saw the little guy standing at the door. Xiao, Xiao bin … why was he here? Didn’t he lie down and sleep?

Zhou han looked at him for a while and didn’t say anything. He walked past him and pretended not to see him.

However, when she passed by him, the little guy suddenly asked, ” “Daddy.”

Xiao bin’s voice was very soft, but because it was too quiet, everyone heard it clearly.

Zhou han stopped in his tracks.

The little thing looked at him, and her clear eyes were slowly covered with a thin layer of mist. She bit her lip and finally asked, ” “Aren’t you my father?”

Lin Li’s heart trembled. She felt numb and a little painful. The tip of her nose suddenly seemed to be unable to feel the smell of smoke that filled the entire room. It was so sour that it hurt.

Zhou han didn’t say anything. His clenched fists clenched even tighter, and he didn’t even feel his nails digging into his flesh.

Seeing that he did not agree, the little fellow gently called out, ” dad … the tears in his eyes became more and more obvious. The little guy bit his lips tightly and seemed particularly uneasy and afraid.

Zhou han looked at him for a long time, but he didn’t say the answer in the end. He walked past him and strode out of the room. His steps were so big that he seemed to be resisting and avoiding something.

“Daddy.” The little guy reincarnated and wanted to give chase, but when he turned around, he tripped over his own foot and fell heavily to the ground. With a bang, he fell very, very hard!

“Xiao bin!” Lin Li exclaimed and ran over.

Daddy, Daddy … the little guy fell to the ground but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Han’s back. His hands were struggling to get up. At this moment, his face was already covered in tears. It was unknown if it was because of the pain from falling or something else.

Zhou han stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn back. However, his hand seemed to be clenched even tighter than before.

“Xiao bin.” Lin Li reached out to help him up and asked, ” where did you fall? Where does it hurt? tell Auntie.

Daddy, Daddy, don’t go … the little guy cried. He stared at Zhou Han’s back and reached out his hand, wanting to grab him. The tears on his face fell even more violently.

Lin Li’s heart ached when she saw this, and the tears in her eyes couldn’t help but flow down directly.

In the end, Zhou han didn’t turn around and left directly.
