When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 572: Buried Memories (Part 2)

Tang Yanqi also walked up. In the bedroom, Sheng Jianan had changed into a shirt and was standing in front of the mirror tying a tie.

"You’re going out?"

Tang Yanqi finally couldn’t help but speak. The man standing in front of the mirror finished tying his tie and calmly said, "Hmm." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After a two-second pause, he added, "Gu Han’s gathering, I’ll be back later."

His tone wasn’t exactly cold, just calm, as if he was merely completing a task.

Tang Yanqi said nothing. Sheng Jianan grabbed a coat and turned to leave. As he was about to reach the door, his waist was suddenly hugged from behind.

His steps halted, his back pressed against two soft spots. Tang Yanqi pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and explained, "I don’t know how much of what I said yesterday you heard, but it’s not what you think."

Sheng Jianan didn’t speak, and Tang Yanqi didn’t know what else to say. She tightened her grip slightly, and the room fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, she finally heard the man let out an extremely short sigh: "Last night I was at Ah Ze’s place, drank a bit, and was afraid you’d be upset if I came back."

Hmm?

Is this an explanation?

Tang Yanqi blurted out without thinking: "I won’t be happy even if you don’t come back."

"..."

The room fell silent again. After a few more seconds, Sheng Jianan finally spoke: "Hmm, it won’t happen again. I’m sorry."

Hmm? Hmm?

Why does this feel off?

She wanted to apologize and explain to him. Ever since they got back together, no matter what happened, it was always Sheng Jianan taking a step back. This man, after three years, had become mature and cautious.

Maybe it was something she overheard at the office today that woke her up. Tang Yanqi realized that since she decided to get back together with Sheng Jianan and move forward, she couldn’t always make him retreat. So she opened her mouth to explain, but now, why...why is it him saying sorry again?

Her hand was grasped and gently released. Sheng Jianan stepped back, his deep eyes fixing on Tang Yanqi.

How much did he hear?

He found out where Tang Yanqi was, rushed to the restaurant, and as he reached the door of the private room, he vaguely heard a clear female voice inside: "Back then, you told me that Jianan didn’t want to see me at all and even let me go upstairs..."

At that moment, he paused. He didn’t want to see her? When did he not want to see her?

Intermittently, he heard a familiar voice again: "Jianan did shout ’get out’ at me at the time, but he wasn’t even in the room..."

Sheng Jianan frowned. When did he ever shout ’get out’ at her?

He quickly realized what they were talking about. His thoughts drifted back to those muddled days.

He never didn’t want to see her. He missed her a lot, but he was told that Tang Yanqi felt guilty and didn’t dare to see him. Plus, he wasn’t in a good state at the time, so since she didn’t dare to see him, he decided to adjust himself first and then go tell her he never blamed her.

And him shouting at her?

He hadn’t even heard her voice; how could he have shouted at her?

During that time, whenever someone knocked to disturb him or entered to disturb him, he did tell them to get out. Was she among them?

Impossible!

Though he was in a daze at the time, he wasn’t to the point of not recognizing her. If it was her, he would’ve only hugged her tightly.

His thoughts were a mess. When Sheng Jianan came back to his senses, he heard her last sentence: "Before Sheng Jianan doesn’t want me, I’ll stop wanting him first."
