Shen Fei thought for a long time but did not answer.
When Yan Ranran saw him like this, she already understood in her heart that Shen Fei would not help her.
Because her request was not only excessive, but also detrimental to Shen Fei in every way.
Such a thing! No one would agree to it, it would be very difficult for anyone, after all, the two of them don't have a particularly good relationship.
However, to Yan Ranran's utter surprise, just when she thought Shen Fei had rejected her, he spoke up.
"Okay, Yan Ranran, I promise you."
"What! Shen Fei, what are you saying?"
Upon hearing Shen Fei's words, Yan Ranran thought she had misheard.
Shen Fei echoed this sentiment, stating clearly, "Yan Ranran, I said I'm willing to help you with this."
"Really, really." Even though she had heard it clearly enough, Yan Ranran still couldn't believe it.
Because she never expected that Shen Fei would actually be willing to help her with this favor.
Moreover, Shen Fei reiterated, "When have you ever seen me go back on my word?"
"But, but..." Yan Ranran felt a little reluctant after seeing that Shen Fei was actually willing to help her.
Because she knew very well how much of an impact this would have on him.
"Shen Fei, are you serious? Do you know what kind of impact this will have on you?"
"At that time, I'm afraid the whole internet will be cursing you for stealing someone else's love, and Wang Qingge may hold a grudge against you for the rest of her life."
"Most importantly, once you do that, the secret will remain buried in your heart forever."
"Because once the truth comes out, all our efforts will have been in vain."
"When that time comes, and Wang Qingge and the others find out the truth, they will only feel more pain and guilt."
"So once our fake act becomes real, there will never be a day when the truth comes out."
"Under these circumstances, are you still really willing to help me?"
What Yan Ranran said was indeed very serious to Shen Fei.
After all, this was almost entirely detrimental to Shen Fei, and most importantly, this charade would never reveal the truth.
Most people would never agree to something like this, unless they were crazy.
But Shen Fei was different, because he could almost ignore what Yan Ranran said.
He replied directly, "Yan Ranran, have you forgotten about me?"
"I've already said it, I'm leaving the country in the next couple of days, and I might never come back in my lifetime."
"So, for someone like me, the consequences you're talking about are useless."
"Because I'm going abroad, I can completely start over with a new identity, so there's no need to worry about these things."
"Ah! This." Yan Ranran hadn't thought of this before, so she was quite shocked to hear Shen Fei say it himself.
Yes! Shen Fei is going abroad soon. Who will recognize him then?
Shen Fei continued, "Yan Ranran, you don't need to worry about my affairs. You're the one who should be worried."
"You were about to die, why didn't you choose to leave with an innocent face?"
"Instead, you chose to leave in such an extreme way that would make the whole world misunderstand you."
Hearing Shen Fei's words, she cried helplessly again.
"Do you think I really want to? But I've already said that if I don't do this, he won't be able to stand it."
"So in order for him to be able to live a normal life after I'm gone, I have to do this."
"For him, I'd rather be cursed by the whole world, as long as he's alright."
"As for my reputation, everything else is no longer important."
Listening to Yan Ranran's words, Shen Fei truly admired her.
She was willing to do this, even if it meant being misunderstood by the whole world, so that the person she loved could live a good life.
Shen Fei also knew how honored he was to be able to help such a kind and righteous woman.
He was also very grateful to himself for knowing someone who was so devoted to love, he said earnestly.
"Yan Ranran, this is why I chose to help you. Your love for Wang Qingge has truly touched me deeply."
"Thank you!" Yan Ranran had nothing more to say, but she still reminded him one last time.
"Shen Fei, are you really not going to reconsider this?"
"If you really do that, then you'll be burdened with this infamy for the rest of your life."
Shen Fei's answer also made Yan Ranran cry for him once.
"The people I've loved are all willing to give up everything for their lovers, even if it means being misunderstood by the world."
"Then why can't I do something that someone I once liked would be willing for her?"
Upon hearing Shen Fei's words, Yan Ranran's tears flowed again.
"I'm sorry, Shen Fei. I'm the one who has wronged you in this life."
"It's okay! Compared to you, I'm so much happier."
"So no matter what, I will help you one last time. As for what happens after that, we can handle it ourselves."
"Thank you! Shen Fei, thank you so much."
Yan Ranran choked up as she said that she was truly moved that Shen Fei, in her situation, was willing to help her without asking for anything in return.
"Alright, Yan Ranran, you can make the decision yourself, but I really have to leave the day after tomorrow afternoon."
"So you'd better make a decision quickly, or I can't wait for you."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you!"
After reminding Yan Ranran again, Shen Fei took his leave.
"Then it's settled. You can think about the engagement again. Should it be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow morning? Just let me know when you've made up your mind."
"I have something to do today, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, Shen Fei left. He ran into Yan Ranran's mother, Tian Jing, at the door.
"Oh, Aunt Tian Jing."
Tian Jing didn't say anything, she just nodded to him.
After Shen Fei walked away, she went inside and said to Yan Ranran, "Ranran, you're getting engaged to Shen Fei. How can you do this? You don't even like him."
Yan Ranran was in great pain: "Mom, if I don't do this, what else can you expect me to do?"
"As you can see, no matter what we say, Wang Qingge just won't believe us."
"So if I do this, and if I get engaged to Shen Fei under false pretenses, then he should believe that I really betrayed him."
"My daughter!" Tian Jing was at a loss for what to do after hearing this, and could only hug her and her daughter and cry.
Actually, Tian Jing had something else she wanted to tell Yan Ranran: she had run into Wang Xuetong when she went to get her car.
Then Wang Xuetong blamed them, because it was because of them that Wang Qingge still hadn't woken up.
