Chapter 183 Old Love Reappears
Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan lived a warm and peaceful life. They enjoyed the sunshine every morning and shared their thoughts under the lights at night. However, an accidental opportunity broke this tranquility.
On this day, Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan went out shopping together, and unexpectedly met Ruan Jianan's first love Zheng Liqing in the mall. Zheng Liqing was still beautiful and charming, exuding mature charm in her every move. She was wearing a slim white dress, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were full of confidence and calmness.
"Jian'an, long time no see." Zheng Liqing's voice was filled with surprise and mixed emotions. Her eyes stayed on Ruan Jian'an for a moment, then turned to Lin Yanan, with a barely perceptible hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Ruan Jianan was obviously a little surprised, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Liqing, I didn't expect to meet you here." Ruan Jianan, his voice was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously held Lin Yanan's hand tightly.
Lin Yanan was standing by and was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere. She looked at Zheng Liqing with a smile and said politely, "Hello."
Zheng Liqing also responded to Lin Yanan with a smile, "Hello, I guess you are Jianan's current lover, what a happy couple." Although she said words of blessing, her eyes revealed an indescribable loss.
The three chatted briefly and then went their separate ways. However, from that day on, Zheng Liqing began to frequently appear in Ruan Jianan's life. She contacted Ruan Jianan for various reasons, sometimes to ask about work issues, sometimes to reminisce about the good old days.
"Jian'an, do you remember the coffee shop we used to go to together? The taste of the latte there is really unforgettable." Zheng Liqing said on the phone.
Ruan Jianan frowned, "That's all in the past, Liqing, don't mention it anymore."
"Oh, it's just a reminiscence, it's nothing." Zheng Liqing's voice had a hint of coquettishness.
Ruan Jianan was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he loved Lin Yanan deeply and didn't want her to get hurt. On the other hand, facing his first love, his heart was inevitably a little turbulent. Those innocent and beautiful memories of the youth they had spent together would come to his mind from time to time.
Although Lin Yanan pretended not to care on the surface, she was full of anxiety and worry in her heart. She began to become sensitive and often secretly observed Ruan Jianan's expression when he answered the phone.
One night, Ruan Jianan came home from get off work and saw Lin Yanan sitting on the sofa with a bad look on his face.
"Yanan, what's wrong?" Ruan Jianan asked with concern.
Lin Yanan raised her head and looked at Ruan Jianan, "Did Zheng Liqing call you again today?"
Ruan Jianan was stunned for a moment, "Well, it was just a casual chat."
"Just a casual chat? Is she still thinking about you?" Lin Yanan's voice rose a few degrees.
Ruan Jianan hurriedly walked to Lin Yanan and held her hand, "Yanan, don't let your imagination run wild. I only love you."
Lin Yanan shook off Ruan Jianan's hand, "Then why don't you just cut off contact with her?"
"I...I just don't want to be too heartless. After all, we knew each other before." Ruan Jianan explained.
"Know her? I think she has ulterior motives!" Lin Yanan said angrily.
At this moment, Ruan Jianan's phone rang again. It was a text message from Zheng Liqing. Lin Yanan snatched the phone and saw the content of the text message, her face became even uglier.
"Jian'an, I'm in a bad mood tonight, can you come out for a drink with me?"
Lin Yanan threw the phone to Ruan Jianan and said, "Go ahead, go and be with your first love!"
Ruan Jianan sighed helplessly, "Yanan, I won't go, believe me."
Lin Yanan turned around and ignored Ruan Jianan.
In the following days, Zheng Liqing did not give up. She even started waiting for Ruan Jianan downstairs of his company.
"Jian'an, I really just want to be friends with you, is that not even possible?" Zheng Liqing.
Ruan Jianan looked at her, "Liqing, I already have a family, I hope you can respect me."
However, Zheng Liqing was relentless, "Family? Is the relationship we once had so worthless?"
Ruan Jianan's heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and he didn't know how to get rid of Zheng Liqing's entanglement.
As for Lin Yanan, her uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She began to doubt her position in Ruan Jianan's heart and even had the idea of leaving.
One day, Lin Yanan packed her luggage and prepared to leave.
"Yanan, what are you doing?" Ruan Jianan asked in surprise when he returned home and saw Lin Yanan's luggage.
Lin Yanan looked at him with tears in her eyes, "I think our relationship has changed, and I don't want to go on like this."
Ruan Jianan hugged Lin Yanan tightly, "Yanan, don't leave, I can't live without you. I will settle the matter with Zheng Liqing, believe me."
Lin Yanan sobbed in Ruan Jianan's arms, "Can I still trust you?"
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly. Ruan Jianan opened the door and saw Zheng Liqing standing at the door.
"I heard that Yanan was leaving, so I came to persuade her." Zheng Liqing.
Lin Yanan became even more agitated when she saw Zheng Liqing. "Go away. This is our family affair. You don't have to worry about it!"
Zheng Liqing walked into the room and said, "Yanan, I really have no ill intentions. I just want Jianan to be happy."
