Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 146

Of course, Shu Tian was willing to believe it. If she wasn’t, she would not do this. Even if he did not

return home all night, she never question him. She knew he was busy, so she didn’t want to put an

additional burden on him.

But now he didn’t even have a word of explanation, how could she continue to believe him?

As if he could see what she was thinking, the man said in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't want to tell

you. I haven't thought of how to tell you."

Shu Tian took a deep breath and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Just tell me the truth."

Li Han fiercely took a drag of smoke. Maybe he choked so he suddenly coughed, which made Shu

Tian's heart pull up. Seeing his brows furrowed because of uncomfortableness, Shu Tian impulsively

snatched the cigarette from his hand and put it out off the top of her head. "If you're not well, don't

smoke. Is that too difficult to answer my question?"

"It's not difficult." He answered quickly. His gaze fell casually in front of her, not on her. "I just don't want

you to overthink."

"But now I'm worrying now." Shu Tian didn't understand why he hid it. "Did you treat me as your

girlfriend?"

Hearing this, the man finally turned around and fixed his eyes on her. "To me, you are more important

than a girlfriend."

"Then why weren’t you willing to tell me? Is there something that I can't know?" Shu Tian did not want

to force him or be aggressive, but now it was really hard for her to control the rising speculations and

doubts in her heart.

If many words were not out in the open instantly, perhaps they would never have a chance to speak.

Although she had no idea how serious the matter that Li Han covered up was, at least the thing put him

through was not simple.

The man's handsome features were shrouded in the dim light, half bright and half dark. "Tian, can you

give me some time? When I fix this up, I'll definitely tell you."

Shu Tian opened her mouth and closed it again and was genuinely disappointed. "What about the

time? How long do you need?"

"I don't know." With these words, he seemed to find it ridiculous and snorted. "I'll do it as soon as

possible."

There was a brief pause in the car, and Shu Tian didn't even know how to answer him. She wanted him

to explain everything now, but... Gazing at the man's gloomy expression, she could not do that.

There was a long silence. Shu Tian's hands by her side were clenched and unclenched spasmodically.

Her hesitation was even more.

In the end, she compromised.

"Well, since it's so hard for you to speak, I won't force you. Tell me when the day you want to." She

made it sound so easy, but it wasn’t her real thoughts.

Li Han saw that the clarity in her eyes was replaced by distrust. He was worried but could not find any

words to explain.

He nodded twice. "Okay."

A conversation ended up unhappily, and Li Han's reticence was always a disguised hurt to Shu Tian.

Therefore, even the next day, she was not in the mood.

After work, Ye Lihua called her to go back for dinner. Shu Tian had not made adjustments to face Li

Han, so she agreed to go over.

After dinner and sitting for a while, Ye Lihua urged her to go back because it was not early. She was

afraid that it would be unsafe on the way when the night was dark.

Shu Tian had no intention of leaving. But she was afraid that Ye Lihua would overthink if she said she

wanted to spend the night here. After being in the struggle for a while, she decided to leave.

She went back to the Imperial Villa by taxi. The taxi stopped at the front entrance of the villa. Looking at

the three-story house in the darkness, Shu Tian's expectations were gradually dampened down.

He hadn't come home yet.

"Miss, you're here." The driver urged her because she didn’t get off the taxi for a long time.

Shu Tian came back to her sense and paid before getting out of the car.

[...]

On the other side, Li Han knew that Shu Tian had returned home today. He drove to the North Villas.

Today Jiang Chujing was taking weekly routine checkups. Ling Junze and George's assistant were all

there. The squat building behind the villa was changed into a recovery room with all kinds of

equipment.

Li Han watched the screen which showed that Jiang Chujing was pushed into various instruments, and

then pushed out after a pause. It took about 20 checks before it was over.

Ling Junze look relaxed after getting the just arrived test results. "Not bad, your biological measures

are good. You don't have to worry too much. It's not a big problem."

Li Han breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was the first time that Jiang Chujing returned to the country

since she went abroad five years ago. He was afraid that she didn’t acclimatize herself, which would

cause her illness to get worse.

After Jiang Chujing finished the checkup, she immediately returned to Li Han's room and breathed a

sigh of relief after she knew the good result. "That's great. I don't have to go now. I can stay by your

side!"

She had said these words countless times since she returned to the country. Li Han was numb to her

words. Ling Junze curled his lips mysteriously.

"By the way, Han, I wasn’t as sensitive to ultraviolet light as before recently. I haven't enjoyed the

outside world for five years. Let’s hang out since my physical condition is stable this time." Jiang

Chujing suggested excitedly.

Li Han met her expectant gaze and spoke coldly. "No, you haven't fully recovered yet. You have to be

careful."

He couldn’t take a load off his mind until Jiang Chujing was fully restored to health. He was not for

others. If there was something wrong with her, he had no idea if he could hide it from Shu Tian.

Jiang Chujing wasn’t surprised by his rejection, but she didn't want to give up easily!

She gazed at Ling Junze from the corner of her eye and changed the subject. " Doctor Ling said that

I'm well and extremely meticulous treatment was no need. Let's find a private club and get together.

Nothing will happen. I know my physical condition very well. Don't worry."

She deliberately used Ling Junze's words to persuade him, which made Ling Junze's eyebrows almost

raised, but he couldn't say anything.

He said this because he suspected that Jiang Chujing was pretending to be weak. Who knew she used

these words to achieve her goals?

Li Han said nothing. At the same time, he didn't insist on refusing her.

Jiang Chujing knew that he was wavering, so she stepped forward, approached him, and muttered,

"Han, I only have such a wish. Can you promise me? I've been a freaking ghost for more than five

years. I really want to go out for a walk. I beg you to reconsider."

Since she put it that way, it was seemed heartless for Li Han to refuse her.

Jiang Chujing suddenly put her hand into her pocket and fumbled for something with a rustling sound.

When she took it out, it was a photo and Jiang Chujing's parents were in it.

"I want to go to this place where my parents fell in love. I don't know what has become of it by now. If

they knew I was there, they would be happy."

Ling Junze finally understood why Li Han was nostalgic about the past. Anyway, he would never forget

because Jiang Chujing mentioned it frequently.

This woman was too selfish, extreme, and scary.

In the end, Li Han didn’t refuse her. Even though he was reluctant, he agreed to her request.

After Li Han and Ling Junze left, the grin vanished from Jiang Chujing's face. She picked up her phone

and dialed a number. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
