Chapter 836: Chapter 936 Wood Awakens 9

"Pfft~" He Zhilan couldn’t help but laugh, casting a glance at He Teng, who marched off to the room pretending he hadn’t heard a thing. Has this always composed man ever been this impatient?

While He Zhilan was cooking, Chen Ya’nan kept sticking around and chatting with her, which ended up with Chen Ya’nan outright having dinner at He Family residence, ignoring her parents’ calls to return home.

The young lady seemed to have endless topics to talk about; she kept chatting while He Zhilan was cooking, continued talking while they were eating, and didn’t stop even when He Zhilan was resting in the living room after washing dishes, not allowing He Teng a moment to speak alone with his wife.

By the time Chen Ya’nan went back across the street after nine, He Teng’s face was dark and gloomy. At that moment, he deeply regretted why he hadn’t chosen a dormitory far away from Chen Family when he had the chance.

"Next time Chen Ya’nan comes over, just kick her out, I can’t stand her non-stop jabbering all evening!" He Teng said to He Zhilan as she was about to take her pajamas and go to the bathroom to shower.

"Only if I were crazy," He Zhilan shrugged her shoulders and then teased He Teng, "Could it be that you’re jealous? Annoyed because the kid spent the whole time with me and I didn’t pay attention to you?"

"Psst." He Teng scoffed mockingly, and with a how-could-that-be look, he entered the room.

He Zhilan didn’t continue the conversation and went straight into the bathroom, not really taking their playful words to heart. But He Teng couldn’t settle down alone in the room.

He stood in front of the window, letting the cold wind blow on him, repeatedly thinking, had he gone mad just now? Is that why he had said those words?

Or perhaps, had he been mad all day? Going specifically to pick up He Zhilan, feeling extremely annoyed seeing Chen Ya’nan monopolizing He Zhilan all evening, feeling like as soon as Chen Ya’nan appeared, He Zhilan neglected him, her husband, not even bothering to glance at him.

If one asked how He Teng had been since He Zhilan left Qiao City, well, there were essentially only two things: being a high-class bodyguard during the day and at night, thinking about He Zhilan until he fell asleep.

Actually, most of the time, he was worried that the promise He Zhilan made on the night before she left was just to placate him, fearing she might retract as soon as she returned—after all, the night before, she had been particularly decisive in saying she wouldn’t remarry.

So, once back, He Teng thought he had to quickly remarry and register the marriage to truly feel that, yes, the wife was indeed his, He Teng’s, and no one could take her away.

In the past, He Teng thought about letting He Zhilan fly high and far, not selfishly keeping her tied to him. He also feared that after their lives diverged onto different paths, He Zhilan might one day realize he wasn’t worthy of her, that he would hold her back.

Her career, which he couldn’t help with; her life, mostly unrelated to him—such realities could drive them apart. Therefore, He Teng had always been reluctant to remarry, worried that, even if they did remarry, they might end up divorcing again due to many practical issues.

But one can’t always control their own heart.

For all these years, He Zhilan has never wavered from the idea of remarrying, no matter how broad or successful her path in life had become, she was always the same He Zhilan who kept troubling him by his side.
