C728 The Right Time
Xu Zhiyuan was not an indecisive person, but his disappointment towards Lu Zhiwei was true. It was true that he loved her deeply.
Especially during these years, Lu Zhiwei had always been so indulgent towards Xu Wanwan because of the incident where they lost Xu Wanwan. If Lu Zhiwei found out that her compensation had always been for the wrong person, she would definitely not accept it.
Lu Zhiwei was not like him, a man. No matter what, she would be stronger than a woman...
Moreover, he had contacted Zuo Muye. Zuo Muye also felt that he could not tell Cheng Nuo for the time being. Although Cheng Nuo was no longer affected by the nightmare, her recovery was not considered good. If this incident caused any unforeseeable consequences, Zuo Muye could not accept it. So the two of them decided to hide this matter for the time being.
However, this matter eventually became a knot in Xu Zhiyuan's heart. He often could not sleep at night. Many times when Lu Zhiwei woke up in the middle of the night, she saw Xu Zhiyuan staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.
"Hubby, is there something wrong with the company?" Lu Zhiwei was very afraid. This was the first time she felt that Xu Zhiyuan had become very strange. It was so strange that she could not grasp it at all.
"Huh?" Xu Zhiyuan was stunned. It took him two seconds to recall what Lu Zhiwei asked him. "No, I just can't sleep."
Once was fine, but it had been like this for a long time. Lu Zhiwei had to pay attention to it, especially when she found that Xu Zhiyuan looked much more haggard every time he came out of the study. There were a few times when his eyes were still red.
It was said that a man's tears were not light. Lu Zhiwei and Xu Zhiyuan had been together for so many years, but she had never seen Xu Zhiyuan look like this. Even when Xu Zhiyuan disappointedly proposed a divorce to her back then, he had never looked so haggard.
Thinking about it, the only person in Lu family who could help cure Xu Zhiyuan was Lu Chen, so Lu Zhiwei eventually chose to let go of her pride and contacted Lu Chen.
"Aunt." To be honest, Lu Chen was a little surprised when he received Lu Zhiwei's call at this time.
"Chen, do you know what happened to your uncle recently?" Lu Zhiwei's brows were tightly knitted.
Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He knew that Xu Zhiyuan must be troubled by Xu Wanwan's identity, but he could not tell Lu Zhiwei yet, so he could only lie and say that he did not know.
"Your uncle has been acting very strange lately. I have never seen him act like this before. He seems to have encountered something that can't be solved. I really have no other choice. That's why I want to invite you home to have a good chat with him and relieve him..." When Lu Zhiwei said this, In fact, she was already prepared for Lu Chen to reject her. After all, she and Lu Chen had always been at odds with each other over Xu Wanwan's matter. Their relationship was no longer close.
However, she did not expect Lu Chen to only remain silent for a moment before agreeing immediately, "Leave this matter to me. Aunt, don't worry. I'll come over now."
"Chen, thank you very much..." Lu Zhiwei's nose felt a little sore. Recalling the past, as an elder, she really should not have.
"We are a family. There is no need to say thank you or not." Lu Chen's words meant something, but Lu Zhiwei could not understand what he meant.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen came to Xu Zhiyuan's house in about 20 minutes. Lu Zhiwei had been looking forward to seeing him. When she saw him, she welcomed him warmly. She told him about Xu Zhiyuan's strange reaction recently.
"Aunt, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely guide uncle properly."
"Yes. As long as I see you coming, I will be at ease." Only at the crucial moment did Lu Zhiwei know that she could only rely on her family. Thinking about it now, she had always made her relationship with Lu Chen so stiff in the past. In fact, there was no need for that.
"Knock, knock, knock." After comforting Lu Zhiwei, Lu Chen went to the door of the study on the second floor and knocked on the door. Xu Zhiyuan did not open the door when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Uncle, I'm Chen."
Xu Zhiyuan opened the door when he heard it was Lu Chen. "Chen, why are you here?"
"Aunt is worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you." Lu Chen looked at Xu Zhiyuan with a smile. In fact, Lu Chen was happy to see Lu Zhiwei so concerned about Xu Zhiyuan.
Although Lu Zhiwei had disappointed him in the past two years, Lu Zhiwei was his aunt after all. He hoped that the couple could grow old for nothing.
"She..." Xu Zhiyuan opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
"Let's go in and chat." Lu Chen suggested.
"Okay."
After Lu Chen went in, Xu Zhiyuan closed the door of the study. Because there was no light or curtains, the study was dark and depressing during the day.
"Actually, there is a solution to this problem. Uncle, why do you have to worry about yourself?" Lu Chen said as he walked to the window and pulled open the curtains.
The moment he pulled the curtains open, the sunlight outside rushed in and illuminated the dim study room.2
Xu Zhiyuan could not open his eyes due to the sudden light. He narrowed his eyes and took a while to get used to it.
"Since we have gotten the paternity test, we can announce it directly."
"No." Xu Zhiyuan shook his head. "You also know that your aunt has been so indulgent these years because we lost her. If your aunt finds out that she has actually been mistaken for someone else, I don't know if she will be able to accept it..."
Although the couple was divorced, they both had each other in their hearts. This made Lu Chen very gratified.
"If Aunt knows that Uncle has been acting this way recently because he cares about her too much, she will definitely be very touched."
"Actually, I would rather she never knows about these things for the rest of her life." Xu Zhiyuan was really disappointed with Lu Zhiwei's actions, but he loved her and had never forgotten the oath he made to her.
He had said that he would love her for the rest of his life and would make her happy for the rest of her life, but once this matter was known, Lu Zhiwei would no longer be able to be like before, right?
"But there are some things that we have to face sooner or later."
"Yes, so I specially asked Young Master Zuo. Young Master Zuo also felt that this was not the right time to talk about this matter. I've been thinking about the right time. I really want to see my daughter openly. I clearly know that she's there... but I still can't go see her."
"Actually, even if I don't tell Cheng Nuo the truth, uncle can go and see her. She is a very kind girl and is as kind as Miss Qiao. She will definitely like you as an elder."
"Really?" Because he was too happy, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly stood up.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to uncle?"
"Then I..." Xu Zhiyuan walked around the study room like a headless fly. It took him a long time before he stopped and asked Lu Chen with excitement. "How about I go see her tomorrow?"
