Black Lotus - Chap 25

After Gu Yansheng hung up the phone, he looked at Wen Niannan who was eating with indifference, went upstairs to the study to take some documents, and left.

Hearing the sound of the engine leaving, Wen Niannan stopped bringing food into his mouth and stared at the door blankly.

Aunt Lan felt sorry when she saw his desperate looks. She had seen the spouse’s love for his husband in the past few years, but the husband always thought that this was only a mere act from his spouse just to please him.

“Sir, please don’t be sad, the master, he doesn’t understand you, but we can see it.”

“It’s useless… No matter how you try, it’s worthless. It was impossible to do it before, and it will still be impossible to do it now.”

Wen Niannan got up dazed and walked to the living room. He curled up on the sofa burying his face in his arms. He looked like an abandoned child with his body shaking uncontrollably.

“Why I can never stop him from leaving every time. How can I be worth in his heart? One call and one message from another person can affect his heart, and now I…the only warmth between us it’s nothing more than a show in front of mom and grandpa.”

His voice was trembling a little, he didn’t want Gu Yansheng to see him like that, so resentful and whinny.

Even if there was a rock in his heart, he would still look perfect and dignified in front of him at all times, just to be able to stand beside Gu Yansheng.

But… this wasn’t the real him…Why was he so tired?

Seeing that Wen Niannan was feeling emotionally unstable, Aunt Lan poured a glass of water, she carried it to him, placing it gently on the table.

“Sir… are you okay? Let me take you upstairs, you need to take a rest.”Saying that she tried to stretch out her hand to help him, but was stopped by Wen Niannan’s fearful roar.

“Don’t touch me!!”

Aunt Lan was frightened by the sudden roar, she stared at him in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that Wen Niannan, who had always been modest and reasonable with her, would yell at her like that.

“Sir, what’s the matter with you?”

Wen Niannan raised his head to look at Aunt Lan, he saw that her face was full of worry. When his mood gradually stabilized, he got up going upstairs in a panic.

The door was closed with a bang, he gasped with his back against the door.

Thinking that his emotions went out of control just a moment ago, he couldn’t help feeling regrets. Every time he couldn’t control himself, he always ended up hurting those who loved him, Wen Niannan didn’t want to continue like that.

He took out his cell phone, looking for Dr. Li’s contact. Once he found it, he wanted to press the dial button, but he couldn’t.
Wen Niannan hesitated, he held his brow with his hand. He didn’t know the meaning of the treatment, his father’s worried eyes flashed on his mind. He thought about it over and over.

“Hello? Niannan.”

There was no response on the other end of the phone…

“Niannan? Are you there?” Doctor Li asked with some concern.

“Dr. Li, I want to continue my treatment for the people who love me and worry about me.”

Wen Niannan looked firmly out through the window clenching his fists secretly.

“It’s great for you to think like that. I’m really happy for you. When do you want to start?” Dr. Li’s cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone.

“This week, I will tell you the specific time later. Thank you, Dr. Li.”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Niannan sighed relieved as if some kind of burden had disappeared from his shoulders. He walked to the window looking at the fallen leaves on the yard, the trees were full of desolation. The lonely leaf hanging as it could of the branch was like the relationship between Gu Yansheng and him. It was meaningless.

He didn’t know that the last thread connecting their marriage would silently break…
