53 “Really then tell me, why did you send me to Country M?”

After Mo Jinnan and Song Tianxin left from the airport, he decided to meet Si Li after dropping off Song Tianxin to her apartment, but she insisted him to come. As both of them had decided to stay together, she didn't want Mo Jinnan to decide something against their relationship again. So Mo Jinnan reluctantly allowed her to accompany him.

--------

Si Corporation

Originally, Si Li decided to go to the airport to fetch Lu Lan, as her condition was not so good. When he was about to leave, then he received a call from Mo Jinnan, therefore he had to stay in the office and sent Mu Che to fetch Lu Lan.

When Si Li saw Mo Jinnan and Song Tianxin together, he understood why was he so eager to meet him?

"It seems that you have already made your decision. Now better be prepared for the consequences" Si Li warned him.

"I need your help, Si Li"

Just then, Si Li was about to reply, Mo Jinnan phone rang. It's Mo Jinnan's father. First, Mo Jinnan disconnected it, but then it started ringing nonstop, Si Li gestured him to take his call first. To attend the call, Mo Jinnan went out the Si Li's office

After a couple of minutes, Lu Lan came into the office with a loud bang and saw Si Li and Song Tianxin were alone in the office.

Immediately, all Wang Yan's words seem to be correct, she yelled at him "So, she is the bit*h to whom you are in love? Huh?"

Both Si Li and Song Tianxin confusingly looked at her, didn't understand what she was trying to say.

"What did you say?" Si Li calmly asked.

"Why would I interrupt your loving night?"

"It's not the way you are thinking"

"Ohh… You are having an affair with her, despite being married to me and now you are saying, this is not the case".

Hearing Lu Lan's words, Song Tianxin was stunned and Si Li started to press space between the eyebrows, he felt the start of a headache 

"Miss Lu, I think there is some misunderstanding" Song Tianxin stood up and held Lu Lan's hand. She didn't want to create any misunderstanding between Si Li and Lu Lan when Si Li was helping to save her relationship with Mo Jinnan.

Lu Lan's harshly retreated her hand "ENOUGH!"

"Lan, listen to me…." Si Li tried to explain her.

Lu Lan interrupted him "You listen to me, I want a divorce. That's it"

"What did you say?" Si Li enragedly asked.

"Yes, I will send my lawyer tomorrow. I don't want to continue this contract marriage".

"You better think about the consequences."

"What consequences? I don't want a position in the Tax Department, I will resign from Si Corporation".

Si Li was taken aback, he knew how much her dream was meant to her. Only because she couldn't see him with another woman, she was ready to give up on her dream. Si Li never thought that she had feelings for him, so deep in her heart.

Tears were falling from her eyes, she didn't want to break down in front of him so she ran outside the office.

"Lan… Listen to me" Si Li chased after her.

When Si Li reached near the elevator, its door was already closed. He stood there in dazed. Mo Jinnan came after he was done with his call, he saw Si Li was standing near the elevator and at that time, Song Tinaxin came outside. Mo Jinnan raised his eyebrow and stuttered his shoulder to ask her 'what is happening?' Then she gestured towards Si Li indicating him to go towards Si Li.

Mo Jinnan confusingly went towards Si Li and asked: "What happened?"

After a while, Si Li came back to his senses and took a deep breath and said "I think I need your help too"

"Huh?"

Si Li turned and went towards his office and he picked up his car keys, coat and left.

Mo Jinnan shouted "Hey… Where are you leaving?"

Si Li ignored him and went outside the office.

He knew that Lu Lan went to her parent's house, so he drove towards there.

When he reached there, he pressed the doorbell, but no one answered. After a while, Si Li called Mu Che to bring the duplicate key. For security purpose, he had already made a duplicate key without Lu Lan's knowledge.

 After an hour, Mu Che brought the key and left. When Si Li went inside, there was darkness. He searched switches and turn on the lights. He saw there was a briefcase in the hall.

He went inside the room and saw Lu Lan had laid on the bed and she was crying. Si Li switched on the lights of the room.

"Go away, I…I don't need you," Lu Lan said between sobs.

"It's not the way you are thinking".

"Really then tell me why...why did you... send me to Country M?"
