The next morning at eight o'clock, Luo Qingyuan was too tired to get up, but Duan Ye was full of energy. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he kissed Luo Qingyuan and left.
He came downstairs, and Yang Li greeted him with a lunchbox in her hand: "Son-in-law, this is breakfast made in the kitchen. Please eat it while it's hot. The driver is already waiting for you outside the door."
Duan Ye took the message: "Have someone tell Cheng Suisui that Qingyuan will be at the company this afternoon."
Yang Li smiled calmly and said, "Okay."
Duan Ye left quickly, and Yang Li instructed the nanny: "Keep breakfast warm for Miss, so she can eat whenever she wakes up."
Yang Li was originally in Kyoto taking care of Luo Qingyuan. Originally, she was being raised in a courtyard house. Since Luo Qingyuan didn't come back often, she could only look after the courtyard house. Now, she has finally returned to her real post.
Duan Ye went to work; after all, his work often couldn't be delayed.
Luo Qingyuan slept until noon. After waking up, she took a shower, went downstairs for lunch, and then drove to a… place.
As for family matters, Yang Li was in charge of everything. Anyway, Yang Li knew what she was thinking and had never made any mistakes.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Luo Qingyuan drove herself to the Kyoto Mental Hospital.
This is the best mental hospital in Kyoto. Although Luo Qingyuan didn't like Ye Nuan, she didn't actually throw her away in the middle of nowhere.
Not long after Luo Qingyuan arrived, Cheng Suisui also came out.
"Mr. Luo, the formalities have been completed, and she is already waiting to see you in the ward."
Luo Qingyuan nodded. Ye Nuan had been demanding to see Luo Qingyuan ever since she came in, and had even threatened to go on a hunger strike.
Luo Qingyuan thought about it and decided to come anyway.
She wanted to see what Ye Nuan wanted to say to her.
Cheng Suisui led Luo Qingyuan and followed the doctor through the wards until they reached the fourth floor.
Doctor: "The patients here are all quite seriously ill, so their hands and feet are bound and they don't have much room to move. Once you go in, don't get too close and you won't be in danger."
Luo Qingyuan nodded, while Cheng Suisui breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that Ye Nuan, that madwoman, might suddenly go insane.
The doctor led them to ward 402.
"You can go in yourselves."
After saying that, the doctor left.
Luo Qingyuan felt quite uncomfortable.
Cheng Suisui: "President Luo, how about..."
Luo Qingyuan: "Just wait for me outside the door."
So, Luo Qingyuan stepped into ward 402.
The interior layout was very simple, all white, including the bed sheets and duvet covers. The windows were very tall and small, and were blocked by iron bars.
There was someone sitting on the bed with their back to her. Luo Qingyuan couldn't see Ye Nuan's expression. Even though it happened yesterday, she felt like it was a lifetime ago.
Luo Qingyuan sat down not far away.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
Ye Nuan did not turn around. Her hands and feet were indeed locked, and her range of movement was limited to the area around the bed.
Ye Nuan's voice was calm: "How did you two meet? I'd like to know."
Luo Qingyuan was stunned. She thought Ye Nuan had called her over to strangle her, but she didn't expect...
Luo Qingyuan sighed softly and finally said, "That night at the bar in Kyoto, I was drugged, and Duan Ye got drunk. By some twist of fate, we ended up in bed together..."
Luo Qingyuan talked on and on for a long time, answering whatever Ye Nuan asked. She didn't intend to hide anything, after all, there was nothing shameful between her and Duan Ye.
As Ye Nuan listened, her heart ached terribly. When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse: "So... he didn't lie to me. He really did go to the bar to drown his sorrows after breaking up with me..."
Luo Qingyuan fell silent; it was the truth.
Duan Ye never lied to Ye Nuan; it was Ye Nuan's sensitivity and selfishness that pushed Duan Ye to her side.
Ye Nuan: "Didn't you ever care about the person Duan Ye has always liked?"
Ye Nuan was determined to get an answer.
Luo Qingyuan: "You mean Nanxing?"
Ye Nuan didn't say anything, and Luo Qingyuan felt that she had guessed correctly.
Luo Qingyuan retorted, "Why should we care? That's the past, and it's from two years ago."
"The past is the past, and the future is the future. Everyone has a past. People should always look forward. Dwelling on the past will only make everyone tired."
Every word Luo Qingyuan said deeply pierced Ye Nuan's heart.
She seemed to finally understand why Duan Ye's final choice was Luo Qingyuan.
Luo Qingyuan said, "You're still young. It's okay if you take the wrong path. Just focus on getting better here. Once you're healed, you can see the people you want to see."
Ye Nuan was stunned for a moment, and finally turned around. Her face was haggard, and she no longer had the bright and sunny look she used to have. Her lips were pale, but hope ignited in her eyes: "Can...I still go out?"
Luo Qingyuan didn't say anything explicitly, but just smiled faintly: "You're just sick."
It was that calm and composed smile, and the compassion and pity in her eyes, that brought tears to Ye Nuan's eyes.
She stood up, wanting to take a few steps toward Luo Qingyuan, but the heavy iron chains scraped against the ground, and she couldn't go very far.
The electroconvulsive therapy here terrified her.
but…
She said, "Luo Qingyuan, please don't make things difficult for my family..."
"I know I've done these awful things, and even if I wanted to leave, you wouldn't allow it. If I were in your shoes, I would have done even worse..."
"But I apologize to you. Take it all out on me, but my brother is still young; I can't ruin him..."
Ye Nuan's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, and she bent her waist very low.
