He Xiaoting was silent for two seconds, his tone no longer having any warmth. “It may not be her, but it definitely won’t be you. ”

After he finished speaking, he rushed past her.

He Yanran was slightly absent-minded and did not move aside. The man’s broad shoulders just rammed into her side. She took two steps back before she managed to steady herself. It clearly did not hurt, but it was as if thousands of arrows had suddenly pierced through her heart. Warm liquid slid down from her eyes She raised her hand to touch it, only to realize that her face was already covered in tears.

Mu Ran saw that she was so sad, and her heart did not feel good either “Yanran, he xiaoting has been exiled overseas by the old master for many years. To be able to act as an illegitimate child in the intertwined he family step by step and become the superior successor of a huge business empire is already proof that he is not an ordinary person. Such a man can fall in love, but it is almost impossible to control him. ”

She held he Yanran’s slender arms with both hands and sighed as she said, “when you are with him, you should know that if you want to love him, you have to sacrifice yourself. ”

“But I sacrificed, Yanran. ”

He Yanran seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground in a sorry state. “Haven’t I sacrificed enough for him? ”

“But Yanran, you should also know very well that your sacrifice to him was a choice sacrifice. It wasn’t without reservation. ”

He Yanran was slightly stunned and even forgot about her tears. “Yanran, then what should I do now? What should I do? ”

Mu Ran shook her head. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t do anything “There’s no other way, Yanran. If you had chosen to advance or retreat with him back then, he would have married you even if he became enemies with the entire world. However, you chose to escape back then and let him face those violent storms by himself. From then on, it was destined that it was impossible for you and him to be together. ”

The words that were clearly light to the point that they did not carry much weight were clearly hurled into her ears.

A storm gathered in the depths of he Yanran’s eyes again. She covered her ears and shook her head desperately, refusing to believe such a fact.

Mu Ran stretched out her arms and hugged he Yanran. Her beautiful eyes were also stained with traces of tears “Yanran, don’t be like this. You can still have a better life. In the past, you didn’t have to have him. Now that you’ve missed him, you shouldn’t have to have him anymore. Can you be more open-minded? ”

He Yanran looked at mu ran across from her through the misty tears. Her words were already in a mess “But… but, Ranran, I’ve walked through so many places and seen so many sceneries. I’ve seen countless people, but I just can’t forget him. I can’t forget him no matter how hard I try. ”

“Yanran, wake up. ”

Mu Ran’s voice was unusually calm. “You’ve heard what he xiaoting said. The other half of his marriage may not be Lin Yan, but it definitely won’t be you. ”

“although this matter sounds a little cruel, don’t forget one thing. You’re his sister. This relationship will not change until you both die of old age. Life is so long, and no one knows what will happen. If you really love him to the point where you can’t marry without him, if you’re willing to wait for him in this way to make up for it, you might as well give it a try. ”

“Besides… he and Lin Yan aren’t married yet. Even if they are, they might get divorced one day. Do you understand what I mean? ”

He Yanran had always known that Mu ran was very smart. She had made many decisions for her, and every decision she made was right in her heart.

Or Rather, she knew her very well. She knew her better than anyone else in the world.

“It’s so good to have you. Thank you. ”

Mu Ran smiled. “Yanran, you know that there’s no need to say thank you between us. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

…

After Lin Yan ran out of the Japanese restaurant, she walked quickly along the sidewalk. The winter rain fell on her body and passed through her clothes to her skin. It was cold and bone-piercing.

During the rush hour, she was surrounded by passersby holding umbrellas. The puddles on the road after the rain reflected the gorgeous neon lights of the city and its prosperity.

As far as she could see, she seemed to be the only person there. She gradually disappeared into the surging sea of people.

By the side of the road, a black spyker car was driving slowly. Two beams of high-beam lights blended into the heavy rain.

Lin Yan walked aimlessly. She did not even realize that the road under her feet was getting darker and darker. She also did not realize that the neon lights around her had gradually turned into a single color. By the time she finally realized it, she did not know how long she had been walking She also did not know where she was.

She quickly turned around and walked back. The rain was very heavy. From time to time, it was accompanied by violent winds, thunder, and lightning. She subconsciously tightened her shoulders and used this method to resist the fear and eerie feeling that was constantly spreading over her.

The sound of the rain mixed with the sound of the wind, forming a kind of mournful whimper. It was like the cry of a woman that was often heard in horror movies that had been post-processed. The trembling feeling spread throughout her entire body in an instant.

Lin Yan continued to quicken her pace and walked forward. However, because she was wearing a pair of ten-centimeter high heels, the rain seeped through the gaps of the shoes. Her feet began to slip continuously in the high heels, and she could not walk fast at all.

She tried her best to focus on her breathing to dispel the fear, but she could still hear the steady footsteps behind her that only a man could have.

If she was fast, he was fast. If she was slow, he was slow. He followed her like a shadow.

She did not dare to look back. She could only kick off the high heels on her feet and run forward with all her might.

One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters… …

Just as she was about to rush out of the dim street, her arm was pulled by a warm hand. She screamed in fear and kicked and hit the man It was not until a deep and familiar man’s voice sounded above her head that she stopped struggling. She was as stiff as a puppet.

“You’re so decisive when dealing with relationships. You probably haven’t done anything wrong. Why are you running so fast? ”

Lin Yan slowly raised her eyes and looked at the tall man opposite her in the storm. “Fu Qingshan, you just need to hold on for a few more days. Don’t let all your previous efforts go to waste. ”

As she spoke, she was about to shake off his big hand, but he pulled her even closer “Lin Yan, he xiaoting isn’t a good man, nor is he a gentleman. You won’t be happy with him either. You should know very well that I won’t just watch you be unhappy. ”

“Then can you give me the happiness I want? ”

Lin Yan’s beautiful eyes were like ink, reflecting his figure. Her voice was gentle and soft, very moving “He Xiaoting can’t give it to me, and you can’t give it to me either. Anyway, I’m going to get married anyway. At least I won’t be sad if I marry him, but if I marry you, I’ll… live a life worse than death. ”

“Yan ‘er, I thought that after half a month of Cold War, you would at least learn how to deal with me instead of rejecting me blindly. ” He lowered his head, his breath getting closer, and his eyes were deep “You should also know that rejecting this kind of thing is meaningless to me. ”

Lin Yan was very cold. She was so cold that she was shivering “Fu Qingshan, you almost died because of me, but I don’t even have the desire to go to the hotel to see you. Maybe when you die, I won’t even shed a single tear. So, what’s the use of tying me to your side After a long time, you’ve become an enemy instead. Why Bother?”

“Lin Yan, why do you ask me? ”

Fu Qingshan stretched out a pair of iron arms and tightly wrapped them around her slim waist. “Then why do you bother? ”

“You clearly don’t like he xiaoting, but you told your brother that you love him to the point that you would die for him. Your brother clearly doesn’t need your marriage to increase the leverage of his career, yet you’re still jumping into the fire pit of the he family. Then tell me, why are you doing this? ”

Some warm liquid slid out of her eyes. She couldn’t tell if it was rain or tears.

She started to struggle again. “Fu Qingshan, you don’t have to care about my affairs. I’m married to he xiaoting. I must marry him. ”

Fu Qingshan’s eyes were clouded by layers of haze. After a few seconds, he finally spoke “Yan ‘er, believe me. Using this marriage to atone for the Lin family’s sins will not make you happier. What you need now is to find your heart and let your heart tell you what you should do. ”

“But what should I do? Fu Qingshan, I have no heart for a long time. ”

How could a person without a heart be happy?

That was not important to her at all. What was important was that she could help the Lin family and her brother. That was enough.

Cold raindrops flowed down her wet hair and slid down her cheeks. She could no longer feel the changes in her body. It was as if she was numb from the cold and had lost all feeling.

His arms that were hugging her tightened a little. He wished that he could squeeze her into his body. “Yan ‘er, before both sides are injured, it’s still not too late to stop all of this. Listen to me and don’t insist on doing this, okay? ”

“I’m really sorry. ”

She used almost all of her strength to break free from his arms’ grip on her. “I really hope that this is the last time we will discuss this issue and also the last time we will meet. ”

The man smiled without batting an eyelid. No emotion could be seen on his chiseled handsome face. “This time, it might really be the last time we will discuss this issue. ”

“thank you. ”

Fu Qingshan raised his eyebrows. “thank you seems to be too early. I didn’t say that this is the last time we will meet. ”

Lin Yan looked at him deeply again and didn’t say anything more. It was as if she couldn’t be bothered to say anything more, so she turned around and left.

Her entire body had long been drenched by the winter rain. She was barefooted and looked like she was in a sorry state. However, in his eyes, it was so irresistible.

…

After Lin Yan took a taxi back to her loft apartment, she quickly ran into the bathroom and took a hot bath. The temperature was very high, but she still felt cold, so cold that she was shivering.

The phone on the side vibrated continuously, calling over and over again, persistently.

She did not pick up, letting the phone vibrate.

Or Rather, she no longer had the strength to touch the phone. She just wanted to shrink a little tighter to get warm.

After an unknown period of time, the misty mist in front of her gradually turned into a dark hue. Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to see a tall figure walking against the light, like a God descending from the sky.

It was him, Fu Qingshan.

…

At the same time, at a restaurant in downtown Milan.

Gu Xichen had nothing to do at night and suddenly wanted to play a game of cards. It had been a long time since he last played, and he was ready to change his usual social and negotiation mind to relax.

After meeting a few friends and using the excuse of accompanying his wife to send him away, he flipped through the contact list in his hand to the bottom. Only then did he call Fu Qingshan. After a few beeps, the other side picked up. “What’s the matter? ”

“come out to play cards? ”

Fu Qingshan glanced at the petite woman on the big bed and rejected him without thinking. “Lin Yan has a bad cold. I can’t leave. ”

“The whole world is filled with the sour smell of love! Alright, keep her company. ”

After cutting off the communication, he sank his back deeply into the back of the dining chair. In the past few years, his private life seemed to be exceptionally clean. He did not have a girlfriend or a bed partner, and he did not want to develop a one-night stand. At this moment.. He really felt that his life was as lonely as snow.

Before the meeting was completed, he got up and walked out of the private room, intending to return to the company to work overtime.

Just as he opened the door of the private room and walked out, he saw a slender figure.

It was her, Lu Xiaoxiao… …

Unlike the meeting half a month ago, she had changed into a gauze dress this time. The makeup on her face was very light, and she exuded a fairy-like aura. Even so, it was difficult to hide the charm and allure that she exuded from her every move.

This kind of woman would become more mature and sexy. She was like a demon that was born to seduce men, biting into their bones.

She was teasing the man beside her. Her delicate little face was filled with a deep smile.

When she heard the door open, she looked at him directly and even nodded slightly. However, she quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to chat and laugh with the man beside her. She did not know what the man said, but her face blushed shyly She said “I hate you” , which made people’s bones turn soft.

He admitted that he was tempted by her that night, but he had always been respectful to this kind of woman. He did not intend to bring out the overflowing desire of a man to conquer her and control her.

Of course, it was also possible that he was old and preferred simple women.

He quickly brushed past them as if he had never seen them before.

…

When Fu Qingshan rushed to Lin Yan’s rented apartment, she had already slid into the bathtub. When he pulled her out, he felt that his heart was about to stop beating. He kept patting her face and calling her name. In his entire life.. He seemed to have never called a person’s name so frequently and intensively.

She… … Was the first …

Due to a severe cold and fever, she was very unconscious. She could only reply to him with some simple tone words. He was obviously relieved and immediately dialed Xiao Bai’s cell phone number, asking her to bring Li Ning over to give Lin Yan a checkup and treatment.

Lin Yan’s high fever did not subside. In fact, the best way was to send her to the hospital to receive formal treatment.

However, the he family and he xiaoting had been keeping a close watch on him recently. If he sent Lin Yan in, not only would he give them a chance to add insult to injury, he would also give Lin Yan a huge embarrassment. His reputation would be affected. He thought about it He still felt that he should stay in the apartment for Conservative treatment. If it was really not possible, he would think of other ways.

Xiao Bai and Li Ning rushed over very quickly. Li Ning was also very professional. Very soon, Lin Yan’s high fever subsided.

When Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan had the best relationship, Li Ning had seen Lin Yan. She had also seen him pamper Lin Yan many times. It was no longer appropriate to use the word “Pamper” . It was more like doting. He was really very good to Lin Yan, so good that he did not have any principles or bottom line.

As long as she wanted it, as long as he could give it to her.

She remembered that the nickname of the officer came at that time. It was Lin Yan’s little wife.

It was not that he was afraid of Lin Yan, but his pampering of Lin Yan had already exceeded everyone’s imagination.

“officer, Miss Lin’s high fever has subsided. ”

Fu Qingshan stood by the bed the whole time, looking at Lin Yan who was lying there motionlessly. It was not until Li Ning approached him that he asked in a low voice, “It’s so late. It’s been hard on you to make this trip in the rain. However, before I am sure that she will not have a recurring fever, you and Xiao Bai should not leave first. ”

Li Ning listened and respectfully said, “yes, sir. ”

Fu Qingshan waved his hand. “Okay, you guys can go out first. ”

Li Ning and Xiao Bai walked out of the room one after the other. The entire room immediately became quiet. One could vaguely hear the sound of the drip pipe and the sound of the rain falling on the windowpane outside the window.

After standing there and looking at her for a while, the man pulled a chair over and sat down. He held her little hand with his big hand and kissed her lips. He said in a low voice, “Yan ‘er, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I really don’t want to let go. I never want to let go. ”

…

The next afternoon.

Lin Yan woke up in the warm and bright sunshine. The light reflected from outside the window was too strong. She raised her hand to cover it. After getting used to it for a while, she looked around.

Familiar furniture and familiar furnishings. It was the apartment that she rented.

Her tense nerves relaxed. Just as she was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed, the door was pushed open from outside. She turned around and saw a very tall man.

The memories from before she fell asleep flooded her mind. She quickly smiled and asked, “why are you here? ”

He Xiaoting was wearing an apron and holding bird’s nest porridge in his hand. Under the Orange Light, he looked particularly handsome. It turned out that when she lost consciousness, the black figure she saw was him.

“You have the nerve to ask me why I’m here. Since you ran out of the Japanese restaurant last night, I’ve called you hundreds of times, but you didn’t pick up. Later, I ran over because I was worried and saw that you were already lying on the bed with a high fever. If I had come a little later, you would have really gone crazy from the fever. ”

When Lin Yan heard his words, she frowned. No, why did she remember that she was taking a bath?

She thought about it again carefully and realized that she couldn’t remember anything.

He Xiaoting walked over and handed the bowl of porridge to her. “I’ve been making bird’s nest porridge for half a day. Drink it while it’s hot. Only by replenishing your nutrition can you recover from your cold quickly. DRINK IT quickly. ”

Lin Yan took it and thanked him.

He Xiaoting was not good at cooking. The porridge was a little salty, but she forced herself to drink it all. The price was that she drank three glasses of water in a row and almost vomited the porridge.

She quickly ran into the bathroom and lay on the toilet bowl, retching.

He Xiaoting followed behind her, but she reached out to stop him. “Don’t come over, it’s very dirty. ”

“It’s okay… ”

He moved forward a little, and Lin Yan hurriedly waved her hand. “Don’t come close to me, get out. ”

Lin Yan’s voice was no longer as polite and perfunctory as usual. She really did not like it when someone approached at this time. It felt like she knew that there was a bottomless abyss ahead, but she had no choice but to stand up and look down She never did things that had no bottom.

She needed to maintain a sense of freshness with he xiaoting, otherwise, she could be replaced by him at any time.

It did not matter if they were married or not, this was the rule of the game.

He Xiaoting respected her very much. When he heard that she firmly opposed him getting close to her, he walked out of the bathroom and asked her anxiously through the frosted glass door “Yan ‘er, is my porridge too bad? You have to remember, even if we are married in the future, I will cook something for you to eat. If my porridge is too bad, don’t force yourself to eat it. ”

“Not only does this not make me happy, it makes me feel that my boyfriend is useless. ”

Lin Yan made sure that the feeling of vomiting had stopped, then she slowly stood up and pressed the flush button. Then, she walked to the Washbasin at the side and splashed a handful of cold water on her face. After making sure that no emotions could be seen on her face.. She pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside the door, he xiaoting hurriedly went up to welcome her. “Are you still feeling unwell? ”

Her voice was still very calm, with a hint of a hoarse voice after vomiting. “A little. ”

“Then I’ll go order takeout for you… ”

Before he xiaoting could finish his sentence, the phone in his trouser pocket vibrated, interrupting what he was about to say. He quickly apologized and took out his phone from his trouser pocket. After taking a glance at the name displayed on the screen.. He immediately swiped the answer button. “Yanran. ”

“brother, the contract signing ceremony between us and Glory World Corporation is at two in the afternoon. Just now, the secretary came to look for me and said that your phone was switched off. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find you. Where are you now? ”

The Room was very quiet. It was so quiet that Lin Yan could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone. He Xiaoting gave her a deep look. She turned her head and raised her hand as if nothing had happened. She tidied her messy long hair on her shoulders She tried to hide the silence and awkwardness at this moment.

A few seconds later, he xiaoting retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, “just now, my phone was out of battery. Hold on for a while. I’ll rush back now. ”

“okay, then hurry up. ”

“Okay! ”

After he cut off the communication, before he could say anything, Lin Yan smiled. “If you have work to do, then go do yours. I can do it myself. It’s okay. ”

“Yan ‘er, do you know that sometimes, it’s not a good thing for a woman to be too quiet and rational? ”

“maybe, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing for you and me. ”

The implication was that when she was with him, she had to be quiet and rational.

“Yan ‘er, you can try to believe in me and rely on me. I’ll be your shelter from the wind and rain, and I’ll also be a good husband for you. ”

Lin Yan raised her head and looked at him deeply. She smiled softly. “I know you will. Hurry up and get busy, or you’ll really be late. ”

He Xiaoting walked over and held her in his arms. “Yan ‘er, I’ll make it up to you on our honeymoon. ”
