Zhuo Qianyun only felt her heart racing at that moment. Her eyes watered, while her lips that his fingers were still pressing against seemed to be getting hotter and hotter."I... I'm going to the washroom!" she said hurriedly. However, instead of going to the washroom in the ward, she quickly walked outside.She felt that if she stayed in there any longer, she would probably burst out in tears in front of him.She rarely cried since her imprisonment. She always told herself to be strong. Tears were pointless.However, she had been pushed to tears several times these days because of Ye Wenming.Zhuo Qianyun ran to the washroom at the end of the hallway, intending to wipe her face with cold water.Just then, a voice came from behind her. "Miss Zhuo, can we talk?"Zhuo Qianyun looked up, only to see Madam Ye reflected in the mirror above the sink.She turned to look at her. "Aunt, you want to talk to me?""Yeah, there's something I need to talk to you about, but this isn't a goo
Madam Ye said, "But if he loves you too much, he’ll never care about himself! Just like how he risked his health to get his blood drawn and store it in Municipal Women's Hospital for you. How damaging is that to the body? He happened to use that blood in this incident. I'm afraid that as soon as he’s well and discharged from hospital, he’ll disregard all advice and keep his blood for you again!"When Madam Ye learned that he was saved by his own blood when he lost a lot of blood this time, she inquired why he had been storing blood.After finding out the reason, she wanted Zhuo Qianyun to separate from her son even more.It seemed to her that her son's love for Zhuo Qianyun had gone too far!Zhuo Qianyun stiffened. "I... I didn’t want him to store blood for me either. I'll tell him not to do it!"Madam Ye said, "But as long as he loves you, he’ll still risk his own safety and harm his health for such a small possibility even if you tell him not to. Miss Zhuo, why don't you let Wen
She gently pulled his hand away as she spoke, "Alright, I really must go home. You should rest.""I'll have someone take you home," he said."Your mother has arranged for a chauffeur to take me home, so don't worry," said Zhuo Qianyun.When she came out of the ward, the smile on her face disappeared.If Ye Wenming had not stopped her today, maybe she would have told him she wanted to start over with him.Maybe some things were meant to be missed!Maybe what she had not said today would never be said again.Was she to blame for loving him too little? Was he to blame for loving her too much?Just like what Madam Ye said, Ye Wenming could risk her life for her, but she might not be able to risk her life for Ye Wenming. She had too many things tying her down, and she did not have too much attachment to love.Maybe it would be better for both of them if it ended here.He did not need to be so persistent with her and could start afresh.After this, he would not risk his life nor s
'Answer… I can never give him the answer he wants.'He reached out to take her cold hand and said apologetically, "I'm not forcing you. I just long for it. I said I'd wait, and I'll wait however long it takes for you to be willing."He would wait until she wanted to be with him willingly.She took a deep breath. "I'll get back to you when you’re discharged, okay?"There was a gleam of joy in his eyes when he heard that. Even his voice became a little agitated. "Okay, I'll wait for your answer on that day.""Then get a good night's sleep, or the doctor may postpone your discharge again," she said."Then I must let the doctor discharge me soon," quipped Ye Wenming. He closed his eyes this time and missed the agony in Zhuo Qianyun's eyes.'Discharge... The sooner he’s discharged, the sooner our sweet days will come to an end.’Once Ye Wenming fell asleep, Zhuo Qianyun carefully withdrew her hand and left the ward.She saw Madam Ye as soon as she got out of the ward."Goodbye, Au
Such an unequal relationship would only increase each other's burden in the end!They might as well cut it off now.Time passed day by day, and Zhuo Qianyun went to the hospital frequently. Every time she visited him, she cherished their time together as it might become good memories for her to recall in the future. They had too few good memories together."Qianyun, the doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow." Ye Wenming told her the news as soon as she stepped into the ward.Zhuo Qianyun froze. 'Tomorrow? How... How soon!'By tomorrow, they would end things once and for all... The thought of it stung her heart."What happened? Why do you look so pale?" asked Ye Wenming."N-Nothing." She forced a smile. "Time flies. You'll be out of the hospital tomorrow.""Does it? I think it passes slowly," said Ye Wenming.Madam Ye, who was in the ward, looked at them and said, "Why don't you two have a good chat? I'll go out for a minute."Madam Ye got up as she spoke. She looked at Z
Her refusal now seemed to have struck him so hard that he froze."What... do you mean?" At that moment, he only hoped that he had misunderstood or perhaps heard her wrong!Zhuo Qianyun calmly repeated, "Ye Wenming, I don't want to start over with you. After the baby is born, I think... we should just get a divorce. We don't have to drag it on for a year as we previously agreed."Little by little, his face turned pale, and his thin lips opened with difficulty as he muttered, "You... won't?""Yes, I won't.""But you’ve clearly been showing your feelings for me these days!" he said. The things that had happened recently, the way she had been looking at him, and what she had been doing for him all seemed to tell him that he had a place in her heart.However, she gave him such an answer!"What I’ve been showing you thus far is just my gratitude to you for saving me. Ye Wenming, I lost all my love for you when I was sent to prison. A broken mirror can’t be fixed, and what’s done can’t
Ye Wenming's face turned pale. "I didn't push you away because I thought that since you wanted a kiss, I would just think of it as repayment too. I hope you'll stop flattering yourself from now on. It's never going to happen between us!" said Zhuo Qianyun.She knew how cruel and harsh her words were!However, things between them would only get worse if she was not harsh enough.His fingers were so tightly wrapped around her arm that they almost sank into her skin and bones. His voice seemed to squeeze through his teeth. "So if I ask you to repay me by sleeping with me, you'll agree to it?"Zhuo Qianyun said, "If I weren’t pregnant, then I'd agree to it if you asked. As long as you think it's going to make us even.""Even?" He gazed at her and said hoarsely, "Zhuo Qianyun, do you so badly want nothing to do with me?”She said lightly, "Yes. I don't want my quiet life to be disturbed. And a lot of bad things happen to me whenever I’m with you. You sent me to prison, and it’s beca
"Okay, Ye Wenming. I hope you'll walk the talk this time," Zhuo Qianyun said in a deadpan tone.Ye Wenming smiled bitterly. His eyes seemed to have lost all their sparkle, and what was left was lifelessness. "Okay, I promise you. I won't show up in front of you again. We'll never... see each other again. I'll give you peace and we won’t have anything to do with each other, just like what you want.”Hearing this, she put away the food containers she brought over. Then, she turned to leave.When she reached the doorway, she said, "You don't have to go to the hospital to get your blood drawn and stored for me anymore. Yiran and Lianyi will help me. Even if my blood type is rare, they'll find a way to prepare enough blood for me. I won't need yours."Ye Wenming quietly gazed at her back. He felt like he was useless when she said she would not need... his blood.Perhaps he was a useless person to her.The ward's door opened and closed.Ye Wenming stood alone in the ward, feeling his
