Marriage First, True Love Later



224 Try not to mind

The reason why Zhou han came back halfway was that he had forgotten a very important document at home when he left in the morning. He only found out when he was preparing for the meeting, so he could only temporarily suspend the meeting and drive back to get it himself.

Lin Li didn’t know how much he had heard at the door, because before she could ask, he had already taken the documents and left.

The little guy was the happiest when Zhou han went back and forth like this. Although it wasn’t to the extent of being very excited or anything, the faint smile on his face was enough for mother Zhou and Lin Li.

In the afternoon, Lin Li and mother Zhou took the child to the hospital again to make sure that the fever had subsided. Now, only the cough caused by the cold was left. It would be better after taking some medicinal powder in a few days.

When Zhou han came back at night, Lin Li and her child were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they heard the movement at the door, both colleagues turned their heads.

Zhou han looked at them and was stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned and looked at the little guy beside Lin Li and said in a low voice, ” “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Lin Li heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She touched the little guy’s head and gently said, ” “Xiaobin, it’s getting late. Let Auntie take you to bed.”

The little guy nodded quietly. When Lin Li held his hand and led him to the room, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Zhou han.

After gently coaxing the little guy to sleep, Lin Li pulled up the blanket for him and then left the room.

In fact, Xiao bin was really well-behaved and didn’t need anyone to coax him. He took off his clothes and went to bed, then obediently closed his eyes and pulled up the quilt to sleep. The whole process didn’t require any effort from anyone. He did it very well and skillfully. Lin Li only tucked in the corner of the quilt for him after he fell asleep and turned off the light.

Lin Li glanced in the direction of the study and walked over.

She reached out and knocked on the door of the study. Seeing Zhou han raise his head, Lin Li went in and closed the door.

Zhou han shifted his gaze back to the document in his hand.

“Mom was worried about dad, so she went to the hospital with Xiaobin in the afternoon to confirm that he was fine, then she went back.” Lin Li said slowly.

Zhou han didn’t look up and just replied softly, ” yeah.

“Xiao bin didn’t see you this morning, and he became a little fragile because of his illness. I used your name to tell him that you would take him to the ocean mansion when he recovered.” Lin Li looked at him, carefully observing the changes in his expression.

Zhou han was silent for a while and finally nodded. I understand.

Lin Li didn’t know what he meant by ‘I know’, but she knew that there was a knot in his heart. As an outsider, she couldn’t say much. She just looked at him and said, ” “Don’t stay up too late, rest early.” After he finished speaking, he immediately left the room.

The door was opened and closed again. Zhou han then put down the documents in his hand and leaned back a little tiredly. He raised his hand and pinched the sore spot between his eyebrows.

After sitting for a while, Zhou han slowly sat up and reached out to open the last drawer on the right side of the desk. He took away the stack of documents and took out the thing under it.

It was a seven-inch frame, and the photo inside was taken when Xiao bin was four years old and he took the child to Disneyland. The little guy was smiling very happily back then, and the smile on his face was very bright.

How long had it been since he last saw the child smile, and how long had it been since he smiled at the child?

it’s been more than two years … Zhou han muttered to himself.

Then, he put the photo frame back in its original position and covered it with the documents.

Because the influenza had been too serious during this period of time, Lin Li let the child stay at home for two more days. After confirming that the little guy had fully recovered, Lin Li was relieved to send the child to school.

After sending the child back to the office, she happened to see assistant Xu coming out of Zhou Han’s office. When he saw her, he smiled and greeted her. Good Morning, Secretary Lin. Why didn’t I see you these two days? ”

Lin Li nodded and responded to him with a faint smile, ” Good Morning, assistant Xu. Something happened at home two days ago. As he spoke, he put down his bag and sat down on a chair.

Special Assistant Xu turned his head and looked at Zhou Han’s office behind him a little mysteriously. Then, he turned his head and whispered in Lin Li’s ear, ” “Secretary Lin, does director Zhou have something important to do this weekend?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li turned her head to look at him strangely and asked, ” “What strange thing? why are you asking this?”

just now, general manager Zhou asked me to cancel the schedule of going to city A on Saturday, the day after tomorrow. General manager Zhou had discussed with the partners for a long time before finally agreeing to let us go over this weekend to discuss the details of the cooperation. I didn’t expect general manager Zhou to cancel it directly. Special Assistant Xu said.

Lin Li frowned. She knew about that order. Previously, Zhou han had looked for many people for this and attached great importance to that case. Now that it was canceled for no reason, it was indeed a little surprising. “Is there any other work to follow up on?” he asked.

“No, I didn’t,” Special Assistant Xu denied, ” that’s the main focus of our work recently. There’s no other case that’s more important than this.

Lin Li nodded and didn’t say anything for a while.

Special Assistant Xu saw that she was also at a loss and guessed that he would not be able to get any more gossip out of her. Hence, he did not ask any more questions and left with the folder.

When Zhou han came out, Lin Li was turning on the computer. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw him holding a cup. He was probably going to the tea room to pour coffee.

She stood up and walked over to him. She reached out to take the cup from his hand and said, ” “I’ll do it.”

Zhou han didn’t say anything. He just nodded and turned around to return to the office.

Lin Li knocked on the door and brought in the coffee.

Zhou han reached out and took it. thank you.

He picked it up and took a sip. Seeing that she didn’t go out, he asked, ” “What’s wrong?”

Lin Li was a little curious as to why he, who had always put his work first, had rejected such a big case this time.

I heard from assistant Xu that you’ve rejected the collaboration project in A city? ”

Zhou han put down the cup in his hand and said, ” no, I just pushed the time back. I’ve contacted the people over there. They’re fine.

Lin Li nodded in understanding.

Zhou han thought for a while and said, ” well, let’s bring the child to the ocean mansion this Saturday. I … I happen to have time.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She looked at Zhou han and asked, ” you … You’re saying you’re going to take the child to the ocean mansion?! Upon hearing him say this, Lin Li was shocked and in disbelief!

Zhou Han’s expression was a little unnatural and he said softly, ” “Didn’t you say so?”

Lin Li seemed to have figured something out. She strode to his side and asked, ” “So, you pushed back the case so that you could take your child to the aquarium!”

Zhou han was a little uncomfortable with her question. He turned his face away awkwardly and said coldly, ” or do you not want me to go? if you don’t want me to go, I don’t have to go.

“Who said that!” Lin Li hurriedly denied it and expressed her attitude, ” of course it’s best if you go. Xiao bin will be happy to know. She could even imagine his expression when she told him that Zhou han would take him to the aquarium on Saturday. Perhaps he wouldn’t be as excited as other children, jumping and screaming, but she thought that his big black eyes would definitely be shining with a bright light, and he would definitely have a smile on his face.

Worried that he would change his mind, Lin Li made the first move and said, ” I’ll go book tickets online now. I’ll book three tickets for Saturday. You must go then. Without waiting for him to answer, she ran out in a hurry, afraid that he would not say it if she stayed any longer.

Zhou han looked at her running and jumping out and shook his head with a helpless smile.

Looking at the documents on the table, Zhou han thought that perhaps it was just as she said. No matter what happened between him and Ling LAN, the child would always be innocent.

If he still cared about the child’s identity, it meant that he couldn’t let go of Ling LAN. He wanted to forget Ling LAN, so he had to try not to care about Xiao bin’s existence.

Actually, when he first found out that the child wasn’t him, his first reaction was to ask Ling LAN for an explanation. At that time, he had already divorced Ling LAN and hadn’t contacted her for a long time. The court had stipulated that the child should see his mother once a week, but to avoid her, the child was almost always sent to the mother by the nanny. The two of them had almost never seen each other since their divorce.

He called her, but found out that her previous number was no longer in use. When he went to her place to look for her, he found out that she had not been staying there for a long time. In the end, he found her in a private club. When he found her, she was sitting on the sofa and flirting with a foreigner. The foreigner’s hand even reached into her skirt. The two of them kissed lightly and teased each other as if there was no one else around. In the end, he didn’t ask Ling LAN clearly. Because he really couldn’t wait for her to finish flirting before talking to him about this.

It was only later that he found out that every week when the child went to the hotel, she would leave the child at the hotel and go on a date with someone in the room next door. Then, when it was time, she would call the nanny to pick up the child. So, even when he later asked the nanny not to send the child to the hotel, she never called him to question him.

He didn’t officially talk to her about the child again, because he thought that maybe she didn’t even know that Xiao bin wasn’t his child.

She took another sip of her coffee and told herself not to think about it anymore. She picked up the document and read it seriously again.

The weather on Saturday wasn’t very good. The sky was gloomy and a little depressing, but this didn’t affect Zhou Jiabin’s happy mood. He had a smile on his face when he woke up this morning, and he was in a good mood. At this moment, she even started to hum a song as she looked at the scenery that flew past her.

Lin Li accompanied him in the back seat. Seeing how happy he was, a faint smile hung on her lips as she reached out to touch his head.

When she turned her head to look in front, she happened to meet Zhou Han’s eyes in the rearview mirror. She smiled at him lightly and didn’t say anything.
