Chapter 400: Is Your Wife As Young And Beautiful As Me?
As he walked to the woman’s side, someone grabbed his right side. He looked down. The woman firmly held him with both hands and was unwilling to let go of his hand.
“Let go.” His tone was cold and distant.
Jian Han looked at him slowly. The man’s handsome, refined face looked stern under the lights. It did not have its usual gentleness anymore. The tip of her nose turned sour, and she bit down on her bottom lip. Her sparkling tears trickled down one by one, “Why? Give me a reason. I am begging you now… Don’t be like that…”
She did not know what she did wrong.
Before she had slept, he was still fine.
Zhou Dayuan looked at the tears on her face. In his heart, he still hated her to the extreme, but when he saw the tears on her face, he felt as if a knife were stabbed through his heart.
He stretched his right hand out, using his index finger to brush a tear on her face. He lowered his volume and said, “Jian Han, are your tears for real?”
Jian Han shook her head, and suddenly realized that she was supposed to nod her head. Her thoughts were all in a mess. She could only bring his large palm to her small face. “Dayuan, what is going on with you, exactly? Can you not treat me like this? I am scared. I am really very afraid…”
Zhou Dayuan took his hand back. “Jian Han, you’re the one who left me six years ago. Today, even if you want to leave, I should be the one to make the move. I, Zhou Dayuan would never bring myself to you for you ruin me again.”
Zhou Dayuan turned around and left.
Bang! The door was shut, and there was another Bang! The main door of the condominium unit was also shut, and he left.
He really left.
Jian Han felt as if she had fallen into a deep abyss. She was so cold. Her thighs were shaking, and they could not support her body any longer. Soon, she slumped down to the ground.
She hugged her kneecaps as she sobbed. She did not know what to do; she did not know what to do at all!
Zhou Dayuan did not want her anymore.
She already had nothing on Earth. She only had him.
How could he treat her like this?
Zhou Dayuan…
Her Zhou Dayuan….
…
Over the next few days, Jian Han went to search for Zhou Dayuan like a maniac. She had thought of it before. Maybe she had fallen short in some aspects, and it made him angry, and he was only throwing a tantrum.
No couple would be free of arguments. He would be fine once she coaxed him a little.
Jian Han called him, and she immediately heard the cold tone of the machine operator — Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. After that, it turned into — Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off…
He has switched his phone off, and did not worry about her.
He was erased from her world entirely.
Jian Han did not go to work. She did not want to report to work anymore. Maybe others did not know, an Oxford graduate like her, actually did not have any career aspirations. She was not mighty, and also not a saint. All that about saving the injured? She could not even save herself. How could she go save others?
She only wanted to look for Zhou Dayuan.
She only wanted to look for Zhou Dayuan.
She wanted to hug him for a bit.
She did not want anything else on this earth; she only wanted him.
Jian Han went to his condominium unit. He brought her over a few times, she hovered around the door of his condominium unit and waited for a few days outside, but he did not appear.
She thought inside her heart that he probably had a few properties under his name. He purposely avoided her, and he went to another address.
She did not have any choice. She called Ning Qing to ask her about Lu Shaoming, but Ning Qing told her that Lu Shaoming had not contacted her for a few days already.
He has disappeared.
Jian Han walked on the main streets with her soul all lost. She lifted her head to look at the blue sky and fluffy white clouds. It was in the evening. The rays of sunshine shone down. She felt her head spin, and used her hand to support herself. She almost fell down onto the ground.
How long has it been since she last ate?
Ever since he left.
She did not have any strength in her body at all.
She scanned her surroundings. Everyone was chatting with one another, happily and merrily, and she was just all by herself, like a wild ghost roaming this world alone.
Jian Han felt her chest tighten. She had not eaten for a long time, and at this moment, she actually had the urge to puke.
She placed one hand on the utility pole as she bent her waist down to puke for a while, but nothing came out, and there was not even water.
Jian Han stood up straight. Her head was spinning around, and her line of vision was in a blur. She shook her head, and a particular back profile suddenly entered her vision. It was so familiar…
Jian Han’s pale face instantly had a glow to it as she called out, “Dayuan, Dayuan!”
She lifted her feet to give chase.
That person was crossing the road. At that moment, the green light was on the pedestrian crossing, but when she ran over, the light had turned red. She ran onto the crosswalk for a few moments. All she could hear in her ears was the sharp screech of the brakes and the sound of horns ringing out in the air.
She turned her gaze sideways to have a look. She was already standing in the middle of the road. Cars from all directions had already stopped, and many drivers were peering out their windows. They pointed at her while they scolded, “Where did this lunatic come from. It is already a red light now! Jaywalking like this is a deathwish!”
“Aiyo, this woman looks really beautiful. Come over, younger sister. Are you searching for someone? I will take you there. Come on, board my car.”
Jian Han looked at these disgusting people. She wanted to vomit. When they spoke, the noise made her head hurt. She closed her eyes, and her entire world was full of the sound of quarreling.
She closed her eyes, and she fainted, falling towards the ground.
“Jian Han!” Someone grabbed her slim wrist, and her entire body was picked up horizontally.
A familiar face appeared before her when she reopened her eyes. Tang Fan had arrived.
“Jian Han, I went on a business trip for only a few days. How did you already bring yourself to this state of mess? Don’t you know what is the condition of your body right now? You only stopped going for psychiatric treatment two years ago. When I had a look at your condition, you were not behaving right. Let me bring you back to the hospital to do a thorough check.”
Jian Han’s head was whizzing. She must not have heard him clearly. Her eyes were empty as she looked at the other side of the road in a blur. She firmly tugged him. “Dayuan… I saw Dayuan just now…”
Tang Fan looked towards the other side of the road. There was no trace of Zhou Dayuan there.
He lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his embrace. He did not know how long it’s been since she last had some water. Her lips were dry and pale. Tang Fan’s heart ached for her as he said, “Jian Han, you did not have a clear look. That is not Zhou Dayuan…”
The woman did not listen to him speak. She muttered to herself, and the tears in her eyes trickled down her face. She was crying and laughing at the same time. “It’s Dayuan! I saw him cross the road…but when I went to chase him, I met with the red light. There were so many people scolding me… I know that I am very foolish, Dayuan despises me, and he finally does not want me anymore…”
The woman cupped her face with both hands, and she sobbed pitifully.
Tang Fan lifted his gaze, and his handsome face was very unhappy. He kicked the rubbish bin on the side of the street, and he loudly cursed, “Zhou Dayuan!”
Tears were cascading down Jian Han’s face. She tugged Tang Fan with both hands, and she looked at him desperately. “Tang Fan, can you help me? Dayuan doesn’t want me anymore. My heart hurts so much… I cannot lose him. Can you help me look for him? I miss him! I really miss him so so much…”
The woman’s pure face was dark and solemn. There was a little spark in her eyes. She looked at him and begged him to bring her to look for Zhou Dayuan…
What could Tang Fan say? Ever since they first met, he just knew that Zhou Dayuan was very important to her.
That man was her everything!
“Okay.” Tang Fan nodded his head. “I will bring you over.”
…
Jian Han stood at the door of a bar. She heard heavy metal music through the door, and she looked at Tang Fan, feeling uneasy. “Tang Fan, is Dayuan really inside? He does not like to come to places like this.”
Tang Fan stretched his hand out to caress her hair. He comforted her with a smile as he said, “Zhou Dayuan is inside. I asked someone to search for him, and they would not be wrong. Let’s go, I will bring you inside.”
Tang Fan held Jian Han’s small hand.
Inside the bar
There was warm and gentle man seated in a secluded corner. Ever since he stepped foot into the bar, he just sat there and drank. The noise and banter in the bar did not bother him at all. In this sort of atmosphere, his aura was cold and elegant. Punctuated by his expensive clothes, he had attracted a large number of beautiful women to come hit on him.
But he was not very interested. He did not even lift his gaze to look at the beautiful women who came by to hit on him, and he drank all by himself.
Still, the women did not stop coming to hit on him. There was one who was dressed provocatively, but she had a beautiful and pure face. She came to sit down beside him, and she slowly made her way up his shoulder with one small hand. “Sir, it is boring to be alone. Aren’t you not going to invite me to have a drink?”
Zhou Dayuan held the bottle in his right hand as he took a gulp. He slowly turned his gaze sideways. He did not look at the woman, and his gaze was focused on the hand climbing his shoulder. “Take it away, okay?”
The beautiful woman froze, then obediently withdrew her hand, but the beautiful woman did not give up. She used a sweet tone as she went to hit on him, taking the lead. “Sir, it seems that you are not in a good mood. Have you met with something irritating recently? You can tell me your troubles. I can help you to share the burdens and frustrations.”
Zhou Dayuan curled the corners of his lips up and lazily said, “Heh.” He turned his gaze sideways, and he scanned the beautiful woman from head to toe. His tone was rogue as he said, “How do you plan to share it? How will that work?”
The beautiful woman’s small face turned red. She was mesmerized with this man. Underneath the bright lights shining down from above, the man looked elegant and warm, but he was so bad deep down.
“Sir, you are really so irritating! Did you quarrel with your wife? Then forget about your wife tonight. She is merely an old hag. I can accompany you.” The beautiful woman pasted herself against him without any warning.
Zhou Dayuan placed his body against the sofa. He did not allow her to touch him at all. He didn’t say a single word, but he seemed interested. He held the bottle and drank a mouthful. He relaxed his shoulder and placed it on the back of the sofa as he said, “Old hag? She is not any old hag.”
“Is that right? I don’t believe that.” The beautiful woman tucked her hair behind her shoulder. She was wearing a small black tank top matched with short hotpants. Her figure was smoking hot, her skin was very fair, and she confidently patted her chest as she said, “Sir, is your wife young and beautiful like me? I am only 20 years old. I am still in university.”
Zhou Dayuan heard her words and burst out into laughter. He looked at the beautiful woman and stretched his left hand over. His index fingers lightly brushed her lower jaw, and he lifted her head up.
The beautiful woman found hope and immediately fluttered her eyes in an attempt to act cute.
“20? How come, when I look at you, you appear to be 30? Are you pretty and young like her? Even if you are, do you have the strength to bring me to that heavenly place?”
The beautiful woman was shy and embarrassed. This man was insulting her. As he put her jaw down, his index finger barely touched her. There was very little skin contact. The man’s hand was not rough like most men. It was both smooth and beautiful, and when he touched her jaw, it made her tremble.
Her entire body went soft.
“Sir…” she said coyly.
Zhou Dayuan did not have a touch of a smile on his face. He lazily withdrew his hand and wanted to keep drinking.
But at this moment, two people came into his line of vision. They had just come in. Zhou Dayuan had a clear look. That woman’s white small hand was in the man’s large palm as he firmly held her.
Jian Han and Tang Fan.
The beautiful woman did not know what was wrong with this man. Immediately, there was a sinister glance in his warm eyes, and he looked absolutely cunning.
Who provoked him?
The beautiful woman wanted to see what his was looking at, but at this moment, a large was on her shoulder, and her entire being was tugged into a warm, broad embrace.
The beautiful woman choked for a moment. It was really too much. It seemed that this man could be a little dominant.
