'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
"Don't you... blame me?" she murmured.Zhuo Qianyun said, "What's there to blame? I know you want your son to be safe, and I want the same thing. Aunt, goodbye."Zhuo Qianyun walked away.Just like what Madam Ye said, Ye Wenming loved her so much that he ignored his health to get his blood drawn and stored in preparation for the very minor possibility of her needing blood during labor. What about everything else?She had recovered five years after the liver transplant, but no one knew what would happen to her liver during her pregnancy or even how long she had to live.She was merely spending her life with her battered body, and there was no telling how long she would last.In that case, they might as well end the relationship once and for all!Zhuo Qianyun walked out of the hospital, only to find herself in tears when she reached the entrance.It turned out she would be so overcome with sadness after ending things with him!Perhaps her affection for him was not as faint as
'Yeah, I must be in love with Ye Wenming. I once regarded Ye Wenming as the person I loved most, but then I regarded Ye Wenming as the person I hated most.'After everything that had happened, she thought she could neither love nor hate him.However, somehow, she fell for him again.She would not be upset if she did not love him.However... they were not right for each other."Sis Zhuo, don't you think it's a pity to just separate like that?" Ling Yiran asked seriously.Zhuo Qianyun said bitterly, "Yiran, what I hope now is that... Ye Wenming can live a good life." If they were together, perhaps she would one day drag him down.If her health broke down one day because of her liver, what choice would he make then?She was suddenly afraid to think about it.Zhuo Qianyun said nothing after that. She only drank the glass of water.Ling Yiran did not ask any more questions. She knew that perhaps what Sis Zhuo needed most was not others persuading her but to calm down in peace.So
Ling Yiran narrowed her eyes, while Zhuo Qianyun said, "I told you I won't visit her, and whatever happens to her is up to the law.""But..." Wu Huairen seemed to want to add something but was worried about Ling Yiran's presence as some things were inconvenient to talk about. "Mrs. Ye, can we have a few words alone?""No thanks. I don't think it’s appropriate or necessary for us to talk alone, Mr. Wu!” Zhuo Qianyun refused.Ling Yiran said to Mr. Wu, "You should stop harassing my friend. Does Yan Qiongying think that others are at her beck and call? She's just relying on her kindness to Qianyun back then, but that will eventually have to come to an end. You can tell Yan Qiongying that she can forget about being spared from prison after she did such things."Ling Yiran could more or less figure out why Yan Qiongying wanted to see Zhuo Qianyun. She just wanted to bring up her kindness to Sis Zhuo in the past and ask for forgiveness so that she could get away.Sis Zhuo was softhearte
