"Yes, no problem." Ye Chen agreed readily.
Tang Yilan didn't know what to do.
This...this isn't following the expected pattern!
The plot should have been: she said she wanted to search his bag, he desperately tried to stop her, then she actually got up and took the bag and rummaged through it in front of him, then he got impatient and snatched it away, and in the struggle, she was pulled over by him, and finally... their lips touched, and the whole world turned pink!
In all my years as a director, this is the first time I've encountered someone who doesn't follow the script!
"My bag is hanging there, can you get it for me?" Ye Chen smiled.
Tang Yilan blushed slightly, glanced at him helplessly, and handed him her bag.
"Open it, the innermost layer."
Tang Yilan did as instructed.
The lawyer's bag was square and tightly packed, filled with important case documents.
She reached inside as he instructed and suddenly touched something small; the fabric felt very familiar…
She took it out and saw that it was another lucky bag!
"this……"
"You took this out?" Ye Chen chuckled. "This shouldn't have appeared so soon! Feel it again!"
Tang Yilan looked at him questioningly, then continued to reach inside.
From the bottom of the innermost layer, she pulled out a small envelope. Her heart nearly stopped the moment she took it out; the handwriting on the envelope was all too familiar. Her hand trembled slightly.
Scenes from the past flooded back into my mind.
In those early days of budding romance, she carefully crafted this love letter, writing it countless times before she could finish it. Lacking the courage to give it to him in person, she secretly hid it in the closet of his dressing room.
As a result, a male classmate discovered it... it was that loudmouth Bai Jingyuan, and then everyone knew about it, making it the talk of the whole school!
During that time, Tang Yilan felt so inferior that she didn't want to go out.
Every day she felt like the gazes around her were piercing her like needles, even though the letter was unsigned and no one knew it was written by her...
She even practiced her handwriting for a long time and corrected her penmanship.
Ye Chen watched her quietly, watching two blushes slowly rise to her cheeks, watching her clutch her clothes like a helpless child, watching tears gradually well up in her eyes...
Ye Chen felt a lump in his throat and reached out to take her hand.
"Yilan..."
"You, why do you still keep this?"
Tang Yilan panicked a little and tried to act nonchalant, but her stiff smile betrayed her inner tension and helplessness.
“It’s not that I still kept it, it’s that I never threw it away,” Ye Chen said softly. “Yilan, I’m sorry, I never knew how you felt. Before, I was only focused on moving forward, and I forgot to look back.”
"Alright, stop talking!"
"Let me finish." Ye Chen's gaze softened. "Back then, I didn't know this love letter was written by you, but I kept it in my drawer... Later, I gradually realized who the most precious person in this world was to me. Yi Lan, I hope I realized it wasn't too late!"
"As for this lucky bag," Ye Chen smiled, "I actually bought a pair back then!"
"What?" Tang Yilan lowered her eyelids. "Back then... you intended to give it to Cheng Xuerou, right?"
"No." Ye Chen uttered two words softly.
Tang Yilan's heart pounded as those two words struck her.
“I thought I would give it to her, but I didn’t,” he said. “When I gave you this lucky bag, I sincerely hoped that you would be happy and safe.”
Tang Yilan's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
“I know it was all my fault before.” Ye Chen held her hand. “Yilan, when you're filming, there are often takes. If an actor isn't in good form, they can have many takes… So, could you let me have one take too?”
"I promise, just this once." Ye Chen said with utmost seriousness, chuckling softly, "From now on, I'll get every take right in one go, and I'll definitely become Director Tang's best leading man!"
Tang Yilan was stunned for a moment, and a tear fell down her cheek.
However, a smile returned to her face.
She bent down and gently kissed his forehead. They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with happiness.
"Okay," she said softly. "From now on, you'll be the only male lead in my scripts. But you must follow the director's instructions and can no longer change the script on your own, understand?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'll leave everything to Director Tang's arrangements!"
...
That evening, Jiang Can lay down next to Huo Zhixing, reflecting on the events of the past few days.
From the time I learned that Ye Chen was injured and missing until he was out of danger, it had only been two weeks, but it felt like an eternity.
Jiang Can looked at the man beside her and gently stroked his chin with her small hand.
"What are you doing?" Huo Zhixing chuckled, grabbed her, and lowered his voice, "Lie down properly and don't move around... or I won't be able to stand it."
Upon hearing this, the young woman quickly withdrew her hand.
“Wife,” Huo Zhixing hugged her from behind, gently stroking her round belly with his large hand, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance, “When will the baby come out? We haven’t had any time together as a couple in so long…”
"What, you think he's superfluous now?"
"No..." The man forced a smile, thinking to himself, "I do find it a bit annoying."
"Let me tell you, this is our child, you are not allowed to have such thoughts!" Jiang Can looked at him very seriously.
Pregnant women often experience some sentimental moods, especially after hearing Sang Qing's story.
Just now, she couldn't help but connect Huo Zhixing's "disdain" with Sang Qing's parents.
“Children without parental love are truly pitiful…” she whispered. “Perhaps Sang Qing’s parents abandoned her because they thought she was a burden. But did they ever think about how their daughter, so young, would survive on her own?”
