3022 Not Knowing Where to Go

"I won't really be driving back and forth," Han Zhuoling said. "We will just pretend that we are living here."

When Han Zhuoling saw that Shi Xiaoya was still about to say something, he explained, "I have done my calculations. There is a longer traffic jam in the city. If I drive here during rush hour, it would take me around an hour to get out of the traffic jam. But once I leave that congested region, I will be able to drive fast and it would only take another twenty minutes of driving to get here."

"Still, that's more than an hour," Shi Xiaoya said.

It's fine if Han Zhuoling had to drive here after work. There would be no rush.

But Shi Xiaoya thought that Han Zhuoling would have to leave too early in the morning.

This place was too far from his company, so he would need to leave quite early.

Since Han Zhuoling would be arriving late at night and leaving early the next morning, he wouldn't be able to get enough sleep.

It's fine to do this once or twice. But if this happened every day, that would be too tiring.

If Han Zhuoling didn't get enough sleep and his mental state deteriorated, it would eventually be unbearable.

"I don't have to leave so early in the morning," Han Zhuoling said. "I will leave early if there's something urgent in the morning. But if there's nothing important, I won't leave so early."

Hearing this, Shi Xiaoya widened her eyes in shock. She also couldn't believe that Han Zhuoling would say something like this.

Han Zhuoling had always said that as someone in his position and as someone who had achieved so much, he should work even harder than most people.

However, Han Zhuoling didn't even want to bother going to work now?

Han Zhuoling laughed and said, "It's just for this period of time. I won't be doing this forever, so I think it's okay."

He continued, "You have no idea, but when I went back yesterday, something didn't feel right. It didn't feel like before. Previously, when you had to go on work trips, you only left for a few days. But this time, you will be away for two months.

"When I thought of how you would be gone for such a long period of time, I felt as though half of my life had emptied.

"While I was in the office today, I didn't have the energy to focus on work. I just wanted to get off work and go home. But when I did go home, you were not there. As a result, I felt sluggish." Han Zhuoling sounded pitiful.

"This was what I thought. If you weren't home, what's the point of me returning? There would be no one waiting for me there." Han Zhuoling held Shi Xiaoya up and placed her on top of his legs as he said, "Without your presence, that place wouldn't be considered home. It would just be a house.

"If you are there, even a hotel room could be considered a home to me." Han Zhuoling whispered, "It doesn't matter where I am as long as you are there."

He went on, "When I walked out of the office tonight, I felt lost. I didn't know where I could go.

"Since you weren't at home, I didn't want to go back, but I didn't know where else to go." Han Zhuoling sighed.

As of now, Lin Liye and Han Dongping had not actually gotten back together.

When Han Dongping apologized, he showed a very good attitude. He stopped getting involved in the children's business.

Even though Lin Liye had been harsh towards him this entire time, Han Dongping didn't show any anger.

While Lin Liye appeared cold and distant, he didn't try to please her, but he pretended not to see her cold expressions and kept showing up around her.

Lin Liye herself had no intention of actually living apart from Han Dongping.

Han Dongping's attitude had changed positively. Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling's relationships had reached stability as well.

In addition, Han Dongping stopped getting himself involved in the children's relationships.

Honestly, even if he still wanted to be involved, he couldn't do anything.
