Chapter 826: Joining the Translation Agency 9
Finally, under Lin’s urging, He Teng’s objection was overridden. After dinner, He Zhilan left cheerfully with Fang Ran, sitting in the car, talking and laughing just with him.
On the way back, Zhou Hongjin was accompanied by He Teng, while Lin went somewhere else to shop. Watching He Teng, who walked with his hands behind his back and remained silent, Zhou Hongjin spoke up, "You and Zhilan have been at an impasse for so many years, what’s the reason? I thought you would reconcile, but unexpectedly, after so many years, there’s still no news of you two getting back together."
"It’s nothing," He Teng said unnaturally, moving his hands from behind to the front, fumbled around, and then placed them into his pockets.
"What if I told you that ever since you and He Zhilan divorced, I’ve been tempted? I really like Zhilan, so when I heard about your divorce, I thought about making my move! But, considering how much He Zhilan loved you, I didn’t act. If I had known that even after all these years you two hadn’t remarried, I would have pursued her again sooner. Maybe, right after her graduation, she could have ended up marrying me."
While speaking, Zhou Hongjin kept sighing, his face a blend of regret and pity; after all, He Zhilan was the first girl who moved his heart in his lifetime, and they had been through so much together.
Men usually remember the first girl they fall for vividly.
Zhou Hongjin’s words made He Teng stop in his tracks, he glanced at him, said nothing, and then strode past Zhou Hongjin.
Watching He Teng’s retreating figure, Zhou Hongjin couldn’t help but laugh. Could it be that he’s really angry now? Not even letting him speak, how much does he care about He Zhilan?
