Chapter 46

Emotions are sometimes involuntary.Knowing that you can't love, you can't be tempted, but you always care about it uncontrollably.For Shangguan Yanting, this was torture.

Tears kept falling, expressing her grievance and helplessness.It's hard to fall in love with someone, but find out that it's all fake.In her heart, she will naturally feel uncomfortable.

For a moment, Shangguan Yanting was a little at a loss.A look of panic appeared on his face, Shangguan Yanting stepped forward, trying to wipe away her tears, but his hands stayed in the air.

The two were deadlocked like that, she wept, and he stood there dumbly.After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Yanting finally said, "Don't cry."

Hearing this, Li Manrong's tears fell even more violently.Looking up at him, Li Manrong choked up and said, "Could it be that I can't even cry now?"

Looking at the eyes still filled with tears, Shangguan Yanting stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.At this moment, all the anger was suddenly extinguished like this.The reluctance permeated his heart.

Sighing lightly, Shangguan Yanting said in a low voice: "I'm angry, you didn't come back all night." Last night, he was always thinking about her.He clearly told himself not to think about it, but he couldn't help but care about it.

Leaning in his arms, Li Manrong wiped all the tears on his clothes.Staring in a certain direction, Li Manrong said sadly: "I just want to be quiet. I never thought that you would marry me just because I look so similar to the woman you once loved deeply."

Hearing her mention Xuanxuan again, Shangguan Yanting frowned.He doesn't have the habit of explaining, in his opinion, those are all unnecessary things. "My marriage to you has nothing to do with Xuanxuan." Shangguan Yanting said so.

Before the words finished, Li Manrong left his arms immediately.Looking up at him, tears were hanging on the eyelashes, trembling slightly: "Really?"

From the very beginning, he contracted her to marry her just to provoke Ye Tianqi out.Of course, he would not tell her the reason.At least this time, he won't. "Yes." Shangguan Yanting replied calmly.

Li Manrong didn't speak, but just looked at him intently.But his eyes are hard to see through.At least she couldn't read his heart. "But, I look a bit like her...you won't think of her when you see me?" Li Manrong couldn't help asking.

During this period of getting along, Shangguan Yanting never confused Li Manrong with Xuanxuan. "No." Shangguan Yanting still answered concisely.

His answer was clean and neat, without much thought.For some reason, Li Manrong felt that she could be trusted.Putting her hands in front of her body and looking down at her toes, Li Manrong remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Manrong finally plucked up the courage to ask another question she cared about: "Then your son Chengcheng...was her child?"

Frowning, Shangguan Yanting remained silent.Looking into her eyes, his expression is unpredictable. "En." Shangguan Yanting finally responded.

It really is...Although I had already thought of this possibility, but I was still a little surprised when I heard it.A sense of loneliness appeared on her face, Li Manrong lowered her head and did not speak.

Silent, continue to ferment among each other.It's just her, but she didn't cry anymore.After a long time, Li Manrong raised her head and wiped away her tears: "Then you don't like me because you regard me as her substitute, right?"

He raised his hand and fell on her hair.His palm is wide, revealing a touch of warmth: "No."

With this answer, Li Manrong told herself that everything else is not important anymore.As long as it's not a substitute, it's fine.Thinking of this, Li Manrong finally smiled again.

Recalling what happened in the morning, Li Manrong thought for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Xia and I have nothing to do with each other. Last night I met a drunk man on the road alone. If Mr. Xia hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid I would have suffered."

Shangguan Yanting was silent, just looking at her.After a while, he hummed.There is no more words between each other.After looking at the time, Shangguan Yanting said calmly: "Go to the company."

Nodding her head, Li Manrong obediently followed behind him, and the two walked outside together.This problem should have been resolved, right?

In the office, Shangguan Yanting was sitting in the office.Thinking of the scene many years ago, that face somewhat similar to Li Manrong's appeared in front of her eyes.Fu Xuanxuan, a kind girl.She is a special existence to him.

Rubbing her temples, the folds between her brows never unfolded.Ye Lei didn't know when he would appear, looked at his appearance, and said with a chuckle, "Why are you bothered again?"

Hearing the voice, Shangguan Yanting raised his head: "How is the investigation going? Have you found his whereabouts?" His expression was calm. The most important thing now is to find Ye Tianqi's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Sitting on the sofa opposite him, Ye Lei crossed his legs and jokingly said, "Do you think it's really that easy to find someone? Let alone someone who is good at hiding."

There is a reason for Ye Lei to say that.In the past ten years, not being discovered by anyone is his strength.And behind him, there are naturally some forces.

With his hands crossed in front of him, Shangguan Yanting said coldly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will find him."

Looking at the busy figure outside the door, Ye Lei bent down teasingly, and said with a smile: "How are you doing with her? I heard about what happened this morning. It's not like you would take action because of a woman." Shangguan Yanting's style. You can't, really fall in love with her, right?"

Shangguan Yanting remained silent and looked at him indifferently.Regarding her intentions, even he himself was a little unclear. "I know what I'm doing." Shangguan Yanting said so.

Seeing him like this, Ye Lei shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Well, your mind has always been clear." Ye Lei, who has been a close friend for many years, naturally understands that as long as there is something about his father, he cannot be easily shaken.

Looking at his watch, Shangguan Yanting got up: "I'm going to the cemetery, today is my father's birthday." In the past, even if he was abroad, as long as it was his father's birthday or death, he would return home to worship.

Ye Lei also stood up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and smiled charmingly: "Go, do you want to take her with you?"

After glancing at him coolly, Shangguan Yanting turned and left.Looking at his back, Ye Lei raised a smile on his lips.He found that Shangguan Yanting was still indifferent, but compared with before, there had been some changes.

After passing the secretary's room, Shangguan Yanting stopped, turned his head, and said calmly: "I have to leave first, you can go back by yourself at night."

Li Manrong raised her head and nodded with a smile: "Well, yes, be careful on the road."

Looking at the smiling face, Shangguan Yanting lost his mind for a moment.Then, walk firmly toward the elevator.Watching him leave, Li Manrong didn't look away until the elevator closed.

Li Manrong's expression seemed focused as her fingertips jumped on the keyboard neatly.Ye Lei came to her office, leaned against the wall, and jokingly said: "It turns out that women who work hard are also attractive."

Looking up at him, Li Manrong's lips curled up, and she said arrogantly: "I'm already attractive." With a little joke, Li Manrong smiled easily.

Bowing down, leaning his elbows on the desk, Ye Lei said with a smile: "Indeed, you are indeed attractive to be able to make that dull and indifferent stone fall in love."

Hearing this, a layer of blush appeared on his cheeks.Suddenly remembered that he was Shangguan Yanting's best friend, so did he also know about Fu Xuanxuan? "Mr. Ye, do you know Yan Ting's former lover, Fu Xuanxuan?" Li Manrong asked a little nervously.

Seeing the tension in her eyes, Ye Lei replied with a smile: "Of course I know, she is a very good girl. She has deep affection for Yan Ting, otherwise she would not have risked her life to save her."

Eyes widened in astonishment, Li Manrong's eyes were full of shock: "Give up your life?"

For some reason, Ye Lei had a strong feeling.He always felt that Li Manrong might be the woman who could change Shangguan Yanting.

Thinking of this, Ye Lei sat on the desk and said calmly: "Well, once Yanting and Xuanxuan were kidnapped and almost killed. It was Xuanxuan who tried her best to cover him from leaving, and was even defiled by the kidnappers because of it, causing Infertile for life."

Covering his mouth, his pupils were wide open.Li Manrong suddenly didn't know how to describe her current mood.To be able to work hard for a man, that is how deep the relationship must be. "Then what happened afterwards?" Li Manrong asked hastily, her heart hanging in her throat.

"Later, Yanting called the police and rescued Xuanxuan in the shortest possible time. That's when Yanting started to learn Taekwondo and Aikido. He just didn't want to drag others down. He has always felt guilty about Xuanxuan."

Staring blankly at a certain place, Li Manrong's mind was blank.After a long time, Li Manrong suddenly remembered something: "Is that Chengcheng the child that Yanting and Xuanxuan had before that incident?"

Shaking his head, Ye Lei replied calmly: "No, after that time, Xuanxuan's body and mind were seriously injured, and her body was very weak. Being unable to conceive for life is a fatal blow to a woman. Therefore, Xuanxuan Xuan begged Yan Ting to accept artificial insemination and let the child grow up in her womb."

In other words, Chengcheng is the child of Shangguan Yanting and another strange woman.At this moment, Li Manrong paid more respect to Xuanxuan. "Then how did she die?" Li Manrong continued to ask persistently.

"Xuanxuan's body is very weak. She passed away after giving birth to Chengcheng. When she passed away, she left with a smile. She said that she lived for Yanting in this life." Ye Lei said with emotion, "A stupid woman who can do anything for her feelings."

Looking somewhere, Li Manrong said slowly: "She is also an admirable woman. If it were me, I don't know if I have the courage."
