184th confession: Will you marry me?
Xiao Yan stroked Gu Mingxia's pale face, his tone filled with sadness.
He didn't know if Gu Mingxia would still be with him like this if she knew what he was going to do after he came back. Every time he thought about this, Xiao Yan felt so heartbroken that he felt terrible.
However, now that he had embarked on this path, there were some things he couldn't refrain from doing. Even if Gu Mingxia would hate him in the future, Xiao Yan felt that he couldn't give up on what he should do.
Life is always full of helplessness, or rather, full of things you can't choose. No matter what you want, reality will always give you something you can never choose to do!
For example, your background, the responsibilities and pressures you bear, these are all predetermined from the moment you are born. No matter how you try to escape, you can never pretend that they never happened!
The only option is to face and resolve this! Xiao Yan sighed softly. His Xia Xia was such a sensible woman; she would surely understand his helplessness and predicament! He hoped that when that time came, she would still be by his side. Even if she chose to leave, Xiao Yan would definitely win her back!
"Mr. Xiao, the doctor has arrived."
Since there was no hospital on Xia Island, Xiao Yan immediately had Zheng Liu find a doctor from Xiangcheng after Gu Mingxia fell into a coma.
"Misha?"
"How is Miss Gu?"
Xiao Yan seemed surprised that the person who came was Misha. However, in the face of his surprise, the cold and beautiful Misha did not react at all. She simply pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. Not only was her cold face expressionless, but her tone of voice was also icy.
"She fainted due to emotional distress."
While Xiao Yan was speaking, Misha had already begun to perform a simple physical examination on Gu Mingxia, and she finished the examination in just a short while.
"Miss Gu is fine, she'll be alright after some rest. If she's prone to emotional outbursts, try to avoid subjecting her to any major stressors."
If a normal person frequently falls into a coma, it's very bad for their health. Misha put away her medical kit, glanced at Gu Mingxia who was still unconscious, and sighed softly, remembering Fu Heng's instructions before she came.
"I'll be staying on the island for the next few days. If Miss Gu feels unwell, just call me!"
She went from being a Nobel Prize laureate in Medicine to being someone's assistant doctor. Misha suddenly wondered what her postdoctoral supervisor would think if he knew. Would he strangle her or point at her with a heartbroken expression and say she was useless?
Sigh, she doesn't actually want to be a private doctor, does she? Her dream is to be a Doctor Without Borders, not to be stuck in some wealthy family as someone's private physician!
However, remembering Grandpa's words about repaying kindness, Misha had no choice but to pack her bags and report to the Fu family after graduation. After all, they owed the Fu family a favor, and Grandpa needed a lot of money to develop the drug.
Only the Fu family was willing to invest in all of this, so Misha felt very miserable and had no choice at all!
"Thank you for your help, Zheng Liu. Take Misha to her room and get some rest."
Upon seeing Misha, Xiao Yan realized that Fu Heng must have sent her. Otherwise, given his influence, he wouldn't have been able to invite Misha, let alone have her come here in the evening.
"Zheng Liu, how is Xiaxia?"
Liu Yan, who was waiting at Zheng Liu's door, rushed over and grabbed his hand when she saw him, looking at him in a panic. Zheng Liu's focus was clearly not on what Liu Yan had asked; he stared at his hand that she was holding and smiled foolishly. Liu Yan followed his gaze, saw that she was holding his hand, and forcefully shook it off.
"Tell me quickly, how is Xiaxia? If you don't tell me, I'm going to go and ask her directly!"
"Mingxia fainted because she was too emotional and was momentarily agitated. Misha said she'll be fine, so you don't need to go over there. Let her rest!"
Hearing that Misha had arrived, Liu Yan felt relieved. Just as she was about to return to her room, Zheng Liu, who was usually quiet, came over, grabbed her hand, and looked at her with a sincere expression.
"Liu Yan, what I said outside the hotel today was all from the bottom of my heart. Why don't you seriously consider it?"
"I'm...I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep!"
Without giving Zheng Liu a chance to continue, Liu Yan turned and ran towards her room. Watching her fleeing figure, Zheng Liu sighed helplessly.
After all these years, he finally falls in love again. He finally wants to settle down with a woman, so why is it so difficult?
Logically speaking, he is actually quite good-looking and has a lot of money, so why did she run away in fear after Liu Yan confessed her feelings to him?
After closing the door, Liu Yan leaned against it, patting her chest and breathing heavily.
This is terrible! Zheng Liu is usually so sullen, when did he become so outgoing, proposing to her right off the bat?
He even bought a huge diamond ring for the proposal on a small island! That's outrageous!
Liu Yan shook her head, locked the door, and sat on the bed, still shaken. She didn't know why she hadn't directly rejected Zheng Liu, but instead chose to run away from him.
Could it be that she's fallen for him? But Zheng Liu is clearly not her type! Sigh, what am I thinking? How could I possibly fall for Zheng Liu? I should stop thinking about it!
Liu Yan patted her face, constantly reminding herself not to think so much. No matter what Zheng Liu did, the two of them could never be a couple. Since it was impossible, she shouldn't think about him.
But she couldn't help thinking about that person. Ugh, so annoying! Just as Liu Yan was feeling annoyed, her phone suddenly rang. She answered it without even looking at it carefully.
"Yan'er, I heard you went to the Zhang family to return some things? Are you alright?"
On the other end of the phone was Zhang Yunyi, who had disappeared for a long time. Liu Yan looked at her phone in disbelief. Sure enough, it was an unfamiliar number. Helplessly, she put the phone to her ear again.
"Yes, I've been to South Africa and met your brother. He... has a lot of experience. He's married and has a daughter. They're a very cute and happy family!"
When she said those words, Liu Yan thought she would feel heartbroken, but to her surprise, she didn't feel much at all; it was as if she were telling someone else's story.
Perhaps she has completely let go. Maybe, over the years, she has stopped loving Zhang Yunqi; what she loves is only that youthful period when she could disregard everything for love.
Now that she has seen him get married and have a daughter, Liu Yan has emerged from her pain and can now talk about him with complete indifference.
"Yan'er, are you... sad? If you are, I can come and keep you company!"
"No need! I'm not sad anymore! Ever since I saw Zhang Yunqi's life now, I haven't been sad anymore! Over the years, I've long since figured it out. He has his own choices, and I can't interfere with him, and I will never be sad for him again!"
"Yan'er, can I pursue you in the future?"
Zhang Yunyi spoke cautiously, and Liu Yan remained silent for a long time after hearing him. Holding her phone, her thoughts drifted back to four years ago. At that time, Zhang Yunqi had just disappeared. Overwhelmed with grief, Liu Yan got drunk one night and mistook Zhang Yunyi for Zhang Yunqi, even kissing the bewildered man. The two ended up sharing a room and the same bed. Although nothing happened, there was always awkwardness whenever they met again. Because of this, Liu Yan decided to avoid Zhang Yunyi. On the contrary, he developed unusual feelings for her and wanted to pursue her and make her happy.
"Yun Yi, I'm sorry. I... can't accept your feelings! In my heart, you're like my younger brother. I'm so sorry!"
"Don't apologize to me. It's our Zhang family that has wronged you! You don't need to think twice to know that the old lady didn't give you a warm welcome when you went to the Zhang family! Don't take it to heart, that's just the kind of person she is!"
"No, Auntie is just worried about Zhang Yunqi. It's getting late, let's talk when we meet!"
"Okay, let's do it in a few days. I'll treat you to a meal when I go back to Xiangcheng! There's still some work to finish here."
Okay, bye-bye.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunyi stared blankly at his phone, a bitter smile on his lips.
He was her younger brother, and his feelings for her were so deep, but in her heart, he was just a younger brother!
Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but feel a little envious of his older brother. At least he had once received the complete love of such a beautiful girl, but what about him? His heartfelt affection was rejected time and time again!
With a sigh, Zhang Yunyi had no choice but to continue with his finishing work so he could hurry back to Xiangcheng to chase after the beauty. Although she had rejected him now, what if she was moved and accepted him one day?
Conversely, Liu Yan sat blankly in her room, holding her phone. Why did she no longer feel heartache for Zhang Yunqi? Why did she think of Zheng Liu when she talked about him?
They had never been in a relationship, and had never even held hands properly, but she knew that no matter what happened, Zheng Liu would never abandon her, and would always be by her side.
This discovery stirred something within Liu Yan. She put down her phone, rushed to the door, opened it, and ran towards Zheng Liu's room.
She felt she had so much to say to Zheng Liu and didn't want to wait a moment longer. She ran to Zheng Liu's room and knocked hard on the door. Soon, the door opened.
Where is Zheng Liu?
Song Jia opened the door and greeted Liu Yan with a smile.
"Zheng Liu, your sweetheart is looking for you!"
"Liu Yan, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."
Zheng Liu frowned slightly as he looked at Liu Yan, whose face was flushed. Had something happened to her?
"Zheng Liu, will you marry me? A marriage that will last a lifetime, will you?"
