Chapter 224: 227 Deny Request2_1

"So what if he’s unreasonable? He has the right to be!"

Lin Xiangwan said bitterly.

Just then, Qin Muchuan, who had returned to change his clothes, walked in and heard every word she said clearly!

He halted, turning to look at her.

Lin Xiangwan made no attempt to avoid his gaze, and it was only after staring into his eyes that she slowly ended her phone call.

After that, she didn’t intend to engage with him. She sat on the sofa, straining to remember if there was anybody she knew who could help through all these years.

"Aunt Liu said you didn’t eat lunch!" he remarked.

"......." Lin Xiangwan remained silent, engrossed in her own world and paid no attention to his words.

"Why didn’t you eat?" he asked again.

"......." She stayed still, her eyes not flinching in the slightest.

The deputy director of Jiangcheng City’s Land Resources Bureau seemed to be quite decent. He was always kind to the serving staff and willing to talk to her. Would he be able to offer any help?

She still had his phone number. If she called him, would he be able to pick up?

Qin Muchuan watched her, waiting for her response.

The atmosphere in the living room was brooding, and his expression darkened.

Lin Xiangwan seemed oblivious of his anger and restlessness.

In her mind, she was thinking: The leadership of the Land Resources Bureau has little to do with the judicial system. The deputy director of the Land Resources Bureau, being a bit of a softy, might not be able to pull any strings, and probably didn’t have much clout. Should she reach out to the police department’s leadership instead?

But back in her days at the Sheraton, Song Yichen and Ni Shanshan had more contacts with the police leadership, and those leaders didn’t even know her!

Except for that... old lecher!

The deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City in charge of business, an old man, had always tried to take advantage of her but never succeeded.

She heard that his brother-in-law was a leader in a department in B City. She wondered if his background was powerful enough?

After waiting for a long time without getting her attention, a disgruntled Qin Muchuan spoke. "Now, if you want to ignore me, show your feelings to me, I can accept that. But, please remember..."

Suddenly Qin Muchuan grabbed her wrist and heaved her towards him.

"Remember what?" Her wrist hurt from his strong grip but Lin Xiangwan forced herself not to cry out.

He stared at her and coldly commanded. "Control your unhappiness and your bad temper in front of the child. Don’t let the child think our relationship as parents is bad, or let them feel burdened in their childhood!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at him mockingly and asked sarcastically, "Since you’re afraid the children will think we’re not getting along, why did you chill our relationship?"

"Is it my fault?" Qin Muchuan countered. "You get involved in others’ lives recklessly, and they should have nothing to do with our relationship!"

"You always mention ’others’... Who are these ’others’?" She roared. "If you really consider me your wife, why can’t you help my family? It’s clear you don’t see me as your wife. Qin Muchuan, I’ve finally understood that our relationship simply boils down to playing the roles of parents to our child. We have to pretend to love each other in front of them. And when night falls, we bury our passion beneath the covers to do things that can comfort us both. Am I right?"

Qin Muchuan looked at her, watching as she lost control and started ranting, and he couldn’t help but provoke her further, speaking without an ounce of sentiment. "That’s right, you have understood it perfectly!"

Lin Xiangwan was taken aback by his harsh words, her eyes trembling with heartbreak and sorrow. But it was just a fleeting moment, soon replaced by ample indifference. "Good, at least I’m not misunderstood. Good thing I didn’t think you liked me. It’s a good thing... our relationship is just an agreement on paper. That makes things simple. Really simple..."

Qin Muachuan’s heart clenched at her words, uncomprehending as to why seeing her so distraught could hurt him so deeply.

Wasn’t their relationship always simple and straightforward?

Lin Xiangwan, her face completely pale, suddenly mused with a sincere smile. "Don’t worry, before our children, I’ll play the role of a mother well. I won’t put any pressure on them!"

’Is it only in front of the children?’ Qin Muchuan wanted to ask.

But he swallowed his words at the last moment.

What was there for him to expect? Wasn’t it a good thing that she thought this way?

"Good. Being aware of this point is the best!" Qin Muchuan released her wrist.

In an instant, the pain in her hand faded away, as did any sense of his touch. Her hand fell emptily onto the sofa next to her.

She took a deep breath, gathering all her strength. "Rest assured, I will definitely keep that in mind! Is there anything else? If not, I am planning to go out!"

"Where are you going?" Qin Muchuan asked.

Still smiling slightly, Lin Xiangwan replied. "You don’t need to worry about that, do you?"

"......." Qin Muchuan glared at her.

"I believe I have the right to go out and not to tell you, right?" She continued with another smile.

"......." He was left speechless!

"Don’t worry about dinner for me. I’ll be back before tonight!" By the end of her sentence, her face had become expressionless.

Once she left home, Lin Xiangwan, behind the wheel of her Cayenne, had no idea where to go.

In this city, even in this world, she always seemed to have nowhere to turn.

Why, why didn’t she have a strong support behind her? Why was nobody there to help her?

Why did she always have to face all of life’s problems on her own?

Tears quickly obscured her sight as they welled up, blurring her vision.

She blinked incessantly, but only made her tears flow even more!

She drove swiftly to a vacant space before halting, resting her head on the steering wheel as she burst into tears!

She truly couldn’t hold back her tears. Alone in the deserted place, she allowed herself to cry freely!

This would ease her pain.

Ji Sen, I’m sorry. I have always been unable to help you. I wonder if you’re doing alright now?

I’m sorry, I’m sorry...

She reiterated in her heart, burdened by guilt.

.........

An hour later, a frustrated Lin Xiangwan arrived at the school to pick up the children.

She didn’t care whether Qin Muchuan was going to pick them up or not. She just wanted to take the children away herself.

It was still not time for school to end, but she contacted the teacher. "You’re picking up Tongtong and Ranran now? Could you wait for half an hour?" the daycare worker asked.

"I’m really in a rush, please, help me out!" replied Lin Xiangwan with a forced smile.

"All right then!"

The teacher knew the children’s mother, so Lin Xiangwan managed to fetch the kids without any issues!
