Duan Ye noticed this as well, and unable to bear it any longer, he stepped forward, grabbed Ye Nuan's hand, and dragged her out of the ward.

Ye Nuan was still struggling to break free: "Let go of me! What right do you have to touch me?!"

But Ye Nuan was no match for Duan Ye's strength, so she could only helplessly curse.

"Nanxing, now you know to cover your face? Weren't you so calm when you were trying to prove your chastity?! Ouch! You pinched me hard, Duan Ye! You scumbag!"

The nurse's face was extremely grim: "Who is this...?"

Soon, the nurse closed the ward door, blocking the gossipy eyes outside, and only then did Nanxing dare to peek out.

But after he peeked out, Nanxing realized that things were a bit serious and beyond his expectations.

At first, she thought that Ye Nuan and Duan Ye were just having a simple argument, like countless times before, and that they would make up after a little fuss and some coaxing.

But this time, it seems things aren't so simple.

Ye Nuan's personality wasn't like this before. She was clearly a very gentle and sensible person. How come she's so crazy and obsessive now?

Nanxing couldn't help but feel a little worried, but what she was worried about was actually Duan Ye...

Realizing this, Nanxing's heart skipped a beat.

Duan Ye and Ye Nuan, it's clear that Ye Nuan is the one in a disadvantaged position.

The scene of the fire kept replaying in Nanxing's mind. She almost thought she was going to die. Her phone had no signal, and she couldn't make any calls except for emergency calls. She never expected to receive a call from Duan Ye.

Even more unexpectedly, in that life-or-death moment, the person who grabbed her and rushed out of the fire was Duan Ye.

This reminded Nanxing of a time in high school when she had a leg cramp during swimming class. Before she could call for help, she sank into the pool. She thought she was going to die, but Duan Ye pulled her out just in time...

Everything seemed to be just right.

Duan Ye is still the same Duan Ye.

Nanxing suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting that even if she had no feelings for Duan Ye, she shouldn't have introduced Ye Nuan to him.

If she hadn't done that back then, none of this would have happened.

Some things are better left unthought, but once the thought takes root in your mind, they grow wildly and uncontrollably until they become unstoppable.

Nanxing was still in a daze when her father, Nan Hao, and mother, Xie Congjing, came in.

Xie Congjing: "Daughter! Are you alright?"

Nanxing snapped out of her daze and looked up in surprise: "Mom, Dad!"

——

Meanwhile, in the hospital's back garden, Duan Ye and Ye Nuan stood facing each other again.

Before Ye Nuan could speak, Duan Ye interrupted her first: "I know what you want to say, I'll speak first."

"Although I really don't want to explain, to avoid you continuing to harass Nanxing, I've decided to make things clear. The fire at the film set wasn't something I foresaw. My wife is the person in charge of this project at Starlight Entertainment. She received news of the fire this afternoon, so we went to the set together. Nanxing was trapped in the fire. We're childhood friends; I couldn't just stand by and watch him die..."

Ye Nuan sneered: "Wife? You'll tell any lie to get rid of me. You say it's not for Nanxing, but every word you say is an excuse for Nanxing!"

"Duan Ye, do you know why I broke up with you?"

Hearing Ye Nuan say that, Duan Ye simply shut his mouth.

Ye Nuan pointed at him with tears in her eyes: "It's because you never tell the truth!"

Duan Ye started having a headache whenever he encountered Ye Nuan, especially since people around him had started pointing and whispering about him because of Ye Nuan's words, and some even took out their phones to take pictures of them.

Duan Ye was truly exhausted. He could always feel what it meant to be speechless when facing Ye Nuan.

Ye Nuan: "You clearly can't let go of Nanxing, you clearly like her that much, so why are you so vehemently denying it? Duan Ye, if that's the case, why did you get together with me in the first place?"

Ye Nuan was in tears, which made everyone around her feel heartbroken.

Duan Ye was even more upset; he didn't know why he had gotten together with Ye Nuan in the first place.

Perhaps it was during the early days of their relationship that he was in a car accident. It wasn't serious, but he suffered a concussion and needed to be hospitalized for observation. At that time, Ye Nuan took good care of him, running around for him.

It was around that time that Duan Ye felt that as long as Ye Nuan was willing to follow him, he would definitely treat her well.

He only gradually fell in love with her after they got together.

In the past two years, he has never regretted his decision.

But at this moment, looking at Ye Nuan's tear-streaked face, he could no longer remember how he had fallen for the person in front of him.

Duan Ye said in a low voice, "I regret it."

Ye Nuan looked up: "What?"

Duan Ye gave a bitter smile: "I said I regret it, Ye Nuan, can't you just let me go? Can't we each go our own way?"

Ye Nuan's expression went from confusion to astonishment to shock, and finally to deep resentment.

Ye Nuan suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Duan Ye's collar: "It was you! You're the one who turned me into this! You think you can get rid of me just by saying you regret it? Duan Ye, let me tell you, you won't get away with it!!!"

As more and more people gathered around, Duan Ye was being shown around like a monkey. He finally couldn't take it anymore and pushed Ye Nuan away.

Duan Ye's face showed an undisguised look of disgust that Ye Nuan had never seen before.

Duan Ye whispered in a low voice: "Madman!"

After saying that, Duan Ye didn't linger any longer and turned to leave in a hurry.

Ye Nuan stood there stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, her facial expression slightly distorted.
