Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Have You Fallen for Me 7_1

When Lan Li brought the car around, she got directly into the back seat. Through the lowered window, she watched He Teng standing outside, listening to him carefully instructing Lan Li to take good care of her, arranging her accommodation for the night. Afterwards, they looked at each other.

"Don’t come next week, I won’t come to pick you up, let alone meet you like this today. Just call me if you need anything," He Teng told Zhilan, then turned his back and went back to his troop.

Lan Li glanced at Zhilan in the back seat and without a word, drove away.

Earlier, he had watched from afar as two small figures took their leave. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but it looked like Zhilan had kissed He Teng, who didn’t push her away.

He had thought He Teng and Zhilan had reconciled, but out of nowhere He Teng had called him to take Zhilan away, and once again, forbidden Zhilan from seeking him out at the troop.

Zhilan too was puzzled as to why He Teng had made this sudden decision, to shut her out of his life completely, and likewise, remove himself from her world.

Nonetheless, Zhilan vowed she wouldn’t withdraw so easily.

Maybe it was karma!

In the past twelve years, she distressed the He Family, but now, He Teng was returning the favor; she couldn’t let go, therefore, she had no other choice but to endure.

Looking at Lan Li driving ahead, she thought of Ding Jinshi, who loved him dearly, yet ended up marrying a man she didn’t love. She, Zhilan, would never follow in Ding Jinshi’s steps.

"Lan Li, did you know Ding Jinshi is pregnant?" Zhilan suddenly asked, her tone sarcastic, "She’s about to become a mother, this is so sudden."

The car jolted noticeably before quickly steadying and continuing its journey.

"Really?" Lan Li retorted, tongue-tied, feeling rendered useless.

Yes, this was indeed sudden. In such a fleeting period, the woman he cherished became someone else’s fiance, then someone else’s wife, and now, she was to bear a child for another man.

Whilst his heart ached terribly, he was, after all, the architect of his own downfall, was he not?

In the realm of love, he was the ultimate loser, undeserving of even expressing regret.

"If it hadn’t been for you, she would be living a better life," Zhilan said, "The Gu family and the Lan family have one characteristic in common: They’re all selfish, aren’t they?"

Just like her from a previous life, she exemplified the Gu family’s trait of being selfish and self-serving.

Although Lan Li had no feelings for Zhilan, he had, due to He Teng’s intervention, found out that Zhilan was unwilling to stay overnight in the city and planned to buy a night train ticket back to the capital. So, he followed along until Zhilan boarded the train before attending to his own business.

When the train arrived, it was already half past one in the morning in the capital. Zhilan got off the train, dragging her weary body and standing at the station entrance, undecided about where to go.

It was too late to return to school. Reaching out to anyone else would disturb their rest.

The sense of helplessness spread throughout her body activated by a potent concoction of blood and bewilderment animated by the engulfing darkness; she had nowhere to go, nowhere to stay.

Inexplicably overwhelmed by sudden homesickness, she longed for her father, for Dongxue, for everyone who had cared for her.

After standing aimlessly at the train station for some time, Zhilan found a motel near the train station and booked a room for herself.

Staring at the phone on the reception desk, she had contemplated calling He Teng countless times to enquire if he had gone to bed, but each time, she controlled herself.
