Chapter 73, Explanation is a Cover-up
Just as Wen Hanyun was about to let go of Yan Sheng's hand, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened a crack.
His dark eyes struggled to adjust to the light, and he instinctively looked at her.
"Yansheng...you're awake?" Wen Hanyun was both surprised and delighted, tears welling up in her eyes again. "Doctor! Doctor! He's awake!"
Yan Sheng's lips moved slightly, emitting a faint sound, as if he were saying something.
Wen Hanyun quickly leaned closer, her ear pressed against his lips.
"What you just said... is it true?"
At this moment, Yan Sheng's eyes were fully open. Although his face was still frighteningly pale and his lips were white, his dark eyes were locked on her tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if he blinked.
"Yansheng, what do you think?"
Wen Hanyun paused for a moment, then changed the subject.
"Is anything bothering you?" She held his hand, transferring her body heat to him.
Yan Sheng didn't answer immediately, but turned his neck slightly and lingered on her face for a long time, as if to confirm whether the person in front of him was really her.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "You... didn't leave?"
“I didn’t leave.” Wen Hanyun’s nose tingled with emotion. “I’ve been here with you.”
Just then, the doctor rushed in and immediately examined Yansheng, measuring his blood pressure, checking his pupils, and listening to his heart rate.
"The patient's vital signs are temporarily stable, and the intracranial hemorrhage has not spread, which is a good sign!" the doctor said while examining him. "However, he has just woken up and is still very weak. He needs to rest well and be taken care of patiently."
Wen Hanyun nodded and sensibly stepped aside, watching the doctors and nurses busy at work.
A huge weight was lifted from my heart, but then a strange sense of panic welled up inside me.
He actually heard the promise she made in a moment of panic while he was unconscious, and immediately asked if it was true or not.
What should we do now?
The thorn in her heart has not yet been removed.
That photo, that breakup text message...
The promise I made just now was more of a desperate plea for him to wake up, regardless of the consequences...
After the examination, the doctor gave a few instructions and left with the nurse, leaving only the two of them in the intensive care unit.
Yan Sheng's physical strength seemed to have recovered somewhat, and his eyes were much clearer.
He looked at Wen Hanyun again, "What you just said... is it true?"
Wen Hanyun's heart skipped a beat, and she avoided his gaze.
Pretending not to hear it now is a bit unrealistic.
Her fingers curled up involuntarily, and she seemed somewhat at a loss. "I... I said that because I hoped you would wake up."
Yan Sheng's eyes darkened instantly, tinged with a hint of melancholy.
He was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "So, you were lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you!" Wen Hanyun quickly looked up, met his hurt gaze, then lowered her head again. "I just..."
She seemed to have made up her mind, took a deep breath, and said, "Yansheng, I admit that I still have feelings for you, but I can't let my feelings cloud my judgment and violate my principles."
"Principles?" Yan Sheng struggled to sit up, seemingly sensing something. "What principles?"
Why did you suddenly send me a breakup text message, saying you didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore?
Wen Hanyun bit her lip.
She had always been reluctant to bring up or face this matter, but now, it has finally come to the forefront.
Wen Hanyun's eyes became complicated.
She remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Why? Yansheng, ask yourself honestly, have you really done anything to betray our relationship?"
Yan Sheng looked at her suddenly depressed expression and was puzzled. "I really don't know what I did. Can you tell me?"
Wen Hanyun's eyes instantly reddened. "Yansheng, do you really think I'm an idiot?"
"What were you doing when you told me you were going on a business trip abroad to handle official business?"
Yan Sheng frowned even more. "I was just going to handle some official business, what's wrong with that?"
"Official business?" Wen Hanyun raised her voice, her tone full of accusation. "Then what about this photo?"
She suddenly pulled her phone out of her pocket, unlocked it, opened the email photos she hadn't deleted, and handed them to Yansheng.
The woman nestled in Yan Sheng's arms, and the photo of him embracing other women.
The moment she saw the photo, she subconsciously believed Yansheng.
She even told herself that this might be a tactic used by someone to drive a wedge between them.
But the bills that Wieland later found out were like a resounding slap in the face, waking her up.
Yan Sheng's gaze fell on the photo, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a tense expression appeared on his face.
"Where did you get this photo from?" His voice was somewhat hurried.
"Does it matter where I come from?" Wen Hanyun finally couldn't hold back her tears. "What matters is, Yansheng, you proposed to me while you were fooling around with other women abroad. What do you take me for?"
“It’s not what you think…” Yan Sheng’s expression seemed a little strange.
"It's not what I think, then what is it?" Wen Hanyun looked at his completely remorseless appearance, and her anger grew even stronger. "Also, Willand checked your bank statements, and you've been transferring money to this account all along?"
She refused to believe it and wanted to find a flaw to prove that the photo was fake and that Yansheng was innocent.
But the result disappointed her. Although the account opening information of that overseas account was hidden, she still found some clues. The name of the account holder could be vaguely matched with the woman in the photo.
That's why she was so resolute, why she sent that breakup text message, and why she ran away to country Y to hide.
Yan Sheng felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her tear-streaked face.
He finally understood that this was the reason she suddenly broke up with him.
"Hanyun, let me explain..."
He reached out to wipe away her tears, but Wen Hanyun instinctively dodged him.
"What are you trying to explain? Are you saying that she's your older or younger sister who's studying abroad?"
Yan Sheng's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with helplessness. "Han Yun, she... is actually my mother."
"Mother?"
Wen Hanyun was stunned, and her tears stopped flowing.
She looked at him in disbelief. "What did you say?"
She seemed to have never heard Yansheng mention his mother.
All she knew was that Yansheng's mother left after giving birth to him and had been missing ever since.
