Chapter 826: Chapter 826: Joining the Translation Agency 9

Finally, under Lin’s urging, He Teng’s objection was overridden. After dinner, He Zhilan left cheerfully with Fang Ran, sitting in the car, talking and laughing just with him.

On the way back, Zhou Hongjin was accompanied by He Teng, while Lin went somewhere else to shop. Watching He Teng, who walked with his hands behind his back and remained silent, Zhou Hongjin spoke up, "You and Zhilan have been at an impasse for so many years, what’s the reason? I thought you would reconcile, but unexpectedly, after so many years, there’s still no news of you two getting back together."

"It’s nothing," He Teng said unnaturally, moving his hands from behind to the front, fumbled around, and then placed them into his pockets.

"What if I told you that ever since you and He Zhilan divorced, I’ve been tempted? I really like Zhilan, so when I heard about your divorce, I thought about making my move! But, considering how much He Zhilan loved you, I didn’t act. If I had known that even after all these years you two hadn’t remarried, I would have pursued her again sooner. Maybe, right after her graduation, she could have ended up marrying me."

While speaking, Zhou Hongjin kept sighing, his face a blend of regret and pity; after all, He Zhilan was the first girl who moved his heart in his lifetime, and they had been through so much together.

Men usually remember the first girl they fall for vividly.

Zhou Hongjin’s words made He Teng stop in his tracks, he glanced at him, said nothing, and then strode past Zhou Hongjin.

Watching He Teng’s retreating figure, Zhou Hongjin couldn’t help but laugh. Could it be that he’s really angry now? Not even letting him speak, how much does he care about He Zhilan?

Yet, if that’s the case, why haven’t the two of them remarried all this time?

Meanwhile, after He Zhilan and Fang Ran left, they really had nowhere to go. They got in the car, chose a place they liked the look of, and got out. After walking around the area, Fang Ran accompanied He Zhilan for some shopping, and when they got tired, they entered a uniquely decorated shop, initially thought to be a bookstore, but it turned out to be a small bar selling R Country’s sake.

Fang Ran got interested, asked for He Zhilan’s opinion, and they decided to sit there. Only then did Fang Ran begin to assess the small bar and ask about He Zhilan and He Teng’s situation.

"He is my ex-husband." To thank Fang Ran for his help, He Zhilan continued to withhold the full truth and briefly shared her story with He Teng.

After listening, Fang Ran finally understood why Lin suddenly wanted to pair him up with He Zhilan, and ever since Lin mentioned he liked He Zhilan, how the atmosphere around He Teng felt wrong.

As they sat and chatted, time passed incredibly quickly. When He Zhilan and Fang Ran left the bar, it was almost ten o’clock, and by the time it was nine o’clock, it was already half-past ten.

After bidding Fang Ran goodnight, since she smelled slightly of alcohol, He Zhilan went back to her room to take a shower, put on a long coat over her pajamas, and then went to knock on He Teng’s door.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as He Teng opened the door, he gave her a thorough scolding!

"Out late at night with a man, and only now you come back? Do you have any sense of safety? What time is it now? Almost eleven o’clock! He Zhilan, is your head filled with cement? I told you not to go out with that Fang Ran, and you start disobeying again?"
