Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

As soon as Qin Shi finished speaking, Yan Lan raised her hand and pushed him away forcefully. She glared at him, her eyes burning red: "Qin Shi, are you trying to make a fool of me?"

It turns out he knew everything and had already laid a trap, even treating their marriage as a joke.

She had considered that he might have his reasons, but this concealment, supposedly "for her own good," was more hurtful than outright harm.

He should have been her closest person, yet he kept her out of all the storms, leaving her like a fool, anxiously waiting for the truth to come out.

"Yan Lan!"

Qin Shi stepped forward, wanting to argue that the prison network was too powerful, and only by uprooting it could she and her child be safe.

But just as he reached out to touch her arm, Yan Lan shook him off.

At this moment, Yan Lan had only one thought in her mind: Go, leave this place immediately, and get as far away from Qin Shi as possible.

Only in this way will her heart stop aching so intensely.

Chaochao was stunned by the scene. No matter how smart he was, he was just a child of a few years old and could not understand the love and resentment between adults.

His little hands were tightly wrapped around his mother's neck when he suddenly felt something cold against his face—his mother's tears.

In my memory, my mother was always smiling and never cried.

"Don't cry, Mommy." Chaochao pressed her chubby cheek against hers and coaxed her softly, her voice still tinged with grievance. "Daddy lied to Mommy. We don't want Daddy anymore. We'll take Sister with us."

As he said this, he secretly glanced back and saw his father standing alone not far away, not daring to follow.

Yan Lan didn't look back, and carried Chaochao straight back to the apartment.

Later, Bai Lin and Liu Jinnian were arrested together. After the news came out, Madam Qin and Qin Shengsheng discovered that Chaochao had been kidnapped.

For the next three days, the Qin family bombarded her with calls and messages, some offering explanations, others expressing concern, but Yan Lan didn't reply to a single one or answer a single one.

On the morning of the fourth day, Yan Lan sent Qin Shi a message with only one sentence: "Meet me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 a.m.

She wants a divorce.

It wasn't just a momentary outburst; it was after countless thoughts of his concealment over the past three days that Yan Lan made up her mind.

As soon as it was light, Yan Lan called Han Yan and asked her to come over. She simply didn't have the courage to let the children face the divorce with her.

She finished organizing the divorce papers and put them in a file bag when the doorbell rang.

Yan Lan thought it was Han Yan who had arrived, so she quickly stepped forward and opened the door. But when she saw who was at the door, she stopped in her tracks. It turned out to be the Chief of the Continent.

The governor, leaning on a cane, still stood tall and looked remarkably healthy. With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at her and asked softly, "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Before the words were even finished, Chaochao, like a lively little rabbit, darted out of the house and threw herself into the governor's arms.

The little one called out in a clear voice, "Grandpa, you're here!"

The governor lowered his head and ruffled his hair. The grandfather and grandson exchanged a knowing glance, and without a word, Yan Lan understood.

The governor must be a "savior" specially brought in by the DRC.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped aside and said, "Please come in."

The bodyguard was left outside the door, while Chaochao sat obediently at the dining table eating breakfast, but her eyes kept glancing at the two of them, afraid that her mother would be unhappy.

After the governor sat down, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "After learning about the relationship between you and me, father and daughter, I haven't had a single day without feeling guilty. I'm always thinking about how I can make it up to you."

But he also knew that no amount of making up for it would help. "Yunxi's death and the fatherly love you've missed all these years are things I can never repay in this lifetime."

He looked at Yan Lan, his tone full of sincerity, "I don't ask you to forgive me immediately, I only ask that you don't let Chaochao and Xiaoxi repeat your mistakes and suffer the pain of not having a complete family again."

But Yan Lan simply shook her head, her determination unwavering: "I've made up my mind."

As she spoke, she got up, found the prescription, and handed it over.

"This is what your mother left behind. It can help you improve your health. I plan to go abroad and will never come back. I'm leaving this to you as my last keepsake."

The governor may not be a good father, but he is a good leader, and Singapore needs him.

The governor reached out to take it, but stopped abruptly as soon as his hand touched the prescription: "Why are there words on the back of this prescription?"

Yan Lan was taken aback. The prescription had accidentally been stained with a few drops of water before, but she hadn't paid attention to it at the time. She never expected that it would reveal handwriting she had never seen before.

The handwriting was clearly that of his mother, Yan Yunxi.

It was a letter Yan Yunxi had written to her, filled with concern: "My Lanlan, when you see these words, your mother will no longer be here."

Don't be sad. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural laws. Mom is just accompanying you in a different way.

You think your mother was hunted down and killed by the prison network, but that's not true. They didn't have the ability to kill me. I discovered that I had late-stage pancreatic cancer, which is why I decided to face death.

After I leave, the prison network will stop watching you, and you can live a peaceful life.

Entrusting you to Yan Feng was not a hasty decision.

Your mother knows that by following him, you can get closer to your real father.

One day, you and your daughter will be able to recognize each other.

My mother also believes that someone like Yan Feng is no match for my clever Lanlan.

From now on, Mom won't be able to accompany you on your journey. I only hope that you can find your own happiness, not have to wrong yourself, and live a wonderful life that belongs to you.

Finally, if you ever meet Lao Tao, please tell him for Mom that I never regretted loving him.

The words on the letter resurfaced after many years, and Yan Lan saw them with tears blurring her vision.

The governor held the prescription, his once upright back slowly hunching over. Tears streamed down his face like broken beads, falling onto the back of his hand. He looked at the last sentence and cried like a helpless child.

Those were the last words left by the lover he missed for half his life.

The silence in the room was finally broken when Yan Lan gently placed her hand on his back, warm to the touch, and choked out a "Dad."

A month later, the sun was shining brightly.

Wearing a pure white wedding dress, Yan Lan, accompanied by her bridesmaid Han Yan, walked out of the apartment side by side with Qin Shi and headed towards the car waiting outside.

Han Yan looked at Qin Shi with an unfriendly gaze and a strong warning in her tone: "Qin Shi, you owe Lan Lan far too much. This belated wedding is just the beginning of your repayment."

Qin Shi held Yan Lan's hand tightly, holding the bouquet in his hands. He looked at Yan Lan with a firm gaze and said, "I will spend my whole life making up for everything I owe her."

Just as Yan Lan got into the car, a crazed figure suddenly rushed over, blocked the car, and clung to the window, refusing to let go.

Upon closer inspection, Yan Lan realized it was Yan Xue.

Yan Xue's hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, she wasn't even wearing shoes, her feet were bleeding, and she seemed completely out of control.

Han Yan leaned close to Yan Lan's ear and whispered, "Yan Feng was convicted of accepting bribes and the evidence was conclusive. He was sentenced to life imprisonment."

Liu Jinnian and Bai Lin also received their sentences: life imprisonment and death penalty, respectively. It's said that Madam Yan was so angry she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Yan Xue is now in this state; all the Yan family's money has been confiscated, and no one cares about her anymore.

Yan Xue clung to the car window, her voice sharp and hoarse, repeatedly asking, "Why? Why is it always you who gets happiness?"

"Yan Lan, I did exactly what I did in my dream, I replaced everyone who needed replacing, so why is the ending still so terrible?"

Han Yan frowned and whispered, "What nonsense is she talking about? What dream? I think she's completely gone mad, a lunatic."

Yan Lan gently raised her hand, signaling the driver to roll down the car window, and looked calmly at Yan Xue.

"Yan Xue, destiny is never determined by vague dreams. It has always been in your own hands. You chose the wrong path."

After saying that, she looked away, and Qin Shi said to the driver, "Let's drive."

The car slowly drove away and eventually stopped outside the church.

Qin Shi opened the car door and carefully carried Yan Lan out of the car.

Ahead, amidst a profusion of flowers, Zhou Chang, Han Yan, Chao Chao, and Sheng Sheng were smiling and waving at her.

In the dim light, Yan Lan seemed to see her mother, Yan Yunxi, standing in the crowd, smiling at her.

Yan Lan and Qin Shi exchanged a glance, seeing only each other's reflections in each other's eyes.

The afternoon sun shone on the two of them, warm and bright. All the storms had passed, and everything was at its most beautiful.
