Chapter 140 What is he running away from?
After a long while, once both of them had calmed down, Wen Qingrang glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said.
"Burning Star, can I borrow your kitchen? I bought a lot of ingredients. Can I show you how to cook?"
Wen Qingrang felt that Jiang Ranxing was probably hungry, and it was lunchtime.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Jiang Ranxing said, "Let me do it. You are a guest, how can I let you do it?"
Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to stand up, Wen Qingrang stopped her, gently supporting her shoulders and helping her sit back down on the sofa.
Wen Qingrang said, "You should rest more, let me do it."
Wen Qingrang insisted that Jiang Ranxing rest, and she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only watch Wen Qingrang walk into the kitchen.
He rolled up his sleeves, skillfully tied his apron, and deftly took out various ingredients from the refrigerator.
Wen Qingrang was tall and slender, and standing in the kitchen, he looked as beautiful as a fine oil painting.
Before long, warm steam rose from the kitchen, and the aroma of the dishes made people feel comfortable.
Jiang Ranxing stood up, walked outside the kitchen, and sat on the island counter chair, watching Wen Qingrang cook.
Wen Qingrang has a gentle and refined temperament. In her impression, he was more suited to things like calligraphy and painting. She never expected that he could create such a wonderful atmosphere in the kitchen.
He seemed like a very family-oriented husband, preparing a simple yet heartwarming meal for his family.
Jiang Ranxing thought that after Wen Qingrang started a family, he would definitely be a very considerate husband who would take meticulous care of his wife.
Jiang Ranxing's thoughts drifted away, and he fell into deep thought.
Wen Qingrang was quick and soon prepared the food. He then served it on the long bar counter, and the two of them sat on opposite sides.
A warm feeling arose between the two of them.
Wen Qingrang served soup to Jiang Ranxing and gently placed the bowl in front of her.
"Try it, I don't know if it suits your taste," Wen Qingrang said.
Jiang Ranxing picked up the soup bowl, tasted it, and said, "It tastes good, very delicious, thank you."
Wen Qingrang kept a close eye on Jiang Ranxing's movements, feeling somewhat nervous. He only breathed a sigh of relief after she confirmed his suspicions.
"If you like it, that means my cooking skills have improved a lot recently."
Wen Qingrang rested her chin on her hands and looked at Jiang Ranxing, without even touching her chopsticks.
Jiang Ranxing took a few sips, and seeing that he didn't move, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"It's nothing." Wen Qingrang shook his head, his eyes lingering, and said, "I was thinking, if I hadn't stopped you just now, maybe I wouldn't have seen this scene."
Wen Qingrang never expected that just watching Jiang Ranxing sitting across from him quietly eating his meal would make him feel so content.
Jiang Ranxing looked up at him, her eyelashes trembling slightly, before lowering her eyes again.
Jiang Ranxing lowered his head and silently stirred the soup in his bowl. He said, "Qingrang, I hope you won't waste too much time on me. I'm not worth your time."
Jiang Ranxing felt she should still tell him these things. She said, "My life is still a mess right now. Fu Shenyuan and I haven't completely divorced yet, and now I know I'm pregnant. In this state, I'll let you down."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ranxing decided to be more direct, as she didn't want to disappoint others' expectations of her.
Rather than hurting Wen Qingrang later, it's better to cut off his hopes from the beginning.
She didn't want to let anyone down.
Wen Qingrang stiffened after hearing this, and then put down his chopsticks.
He said in a very serious tone, "Burning Star, I don't agree with what you said. You deserve to be loved and should not be deprived of that by Fu Shenyuan. He is the one who doesn't deserve your love, and you are not."
Wen Qingrang did not want Jiang Ranxing to lose his confidence because of this.
"You just loved the wrong person. You still deserve a better relationship. Don't decide your fate so early, okay?"
After listening to Wen Qingrang's words, Jiang Ranxing was not unmoved at all; on the contrary, his words seemed to have touched her heart.
She has indeed let go of Fu Shenyuan and wants to slowly let go of all the absurd and painful memories of the past.
Time heals all wounds and should gradually heal her heart.
She needs more time to accept another relationship so quickly.
She didn't want to let down someone who was truly a good person.
Wen Qingrang seemed to sense her predicament and said, "Ranxing, don't rush, take your time, there's plenty of time, I'll come with you."
“Let’s just stay friends until you’ve recovered your strength and then we can consider it again. I won’t feel awkward at all. On the contrary, I’ll feel very comfortable with you. Please don’t send me away, okay?”
After a long while, Jiang Ranxing nodded.
Wen Qingrang finally relaxed from his tense emotions and smiled.
He put some more food on Jiang Ranxing's plate: "Eat more. You look a bit thin lately. It's not good for a pregnant woman not to eat."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranxing moved his chopsticks, then considered for a moment before saying, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question these past two days."
She felt that she could talk to someone about these troubles and discuss them with them, and Wen Qingrang might be a good candidate.
"I'm considering this child. The doctor said it's very difficult to keep the baby. The doctor said that even if I wanted to keep it, it could have very bad effects on my health."
Wen Qingrang asked, "So what are your thoughts? Have you told Shen Yuan?"
Fu Shenyuan...
He doesn't deserve to know.
Jiang Ranxing shook her head firmly: "He doesn't need to know. I've already given him the divorce agreement. Once he signs it, we'll be divorced. This child has nothing to do with him, and I don't need any support from him."
It's just that she herself needs time to mentally prepare for the fate of a life, and it has nothing to do with Fu Shenyuan.
But deep down, she didn't want to be burdened by her child.
Moreover, even if the child is born, there will never be a complete family.
After listening, Wen Qingrang asked Jiang Ranxing to extend his wrist. He gently placed his hand on the pulse point and quietly felt the pulse.
After a short while, he said, "Burning Star, from my perspective, I don't recommend that you keep this child. Your body is too weak. You probably have some health problems from your early years, and having given birth once has further damaged your body. This time, the situation is not good."
Wen Qingrang shook his head and spoke from the perspective of a doctor.
She had to consider Jiang Ranxing's health.
Wen Qingrang continued, "The hospital can't be too explicit, but I can. For your own health, Ranxing, give up this child."
"Burning Star, I understand your thoughts, but when considering a child that hasn't even been born yet, you should consider yourself first."
Jiang Ranxing lowered her eyes, not making a decision immediately: "I'll think about it some more. Don't worry, I'm not thinking about Fu Shenyuan. I just need time. I'll consider my own situation."
Wen Qingrang looked at her, nodded, and said, "Call me anytime if you need anything. Don't force yourself."
"Okay." Jiang Ranxing forced a slightly pale smile. "Let's eat."
After the meal, Wen Qingrang sat with Jiang Ranxing for a while before leaving.
The night before leaving the country, Jiang Ranxing packed the few things she needed.
Ji Shiheng had just confirmed with her the time to pick her up the next day.
Jiang Ranxing checked the time and, seeing that her phone hadn't been used, she took the initiative to dial Fu Shenyuan's number.
So much time has passed, Jiang Ranxing thought, Fu Shenyuan should have finished reading the contents of the divorce agreement by now.
Fu Shenyuan didn't send any information about whether there were any problems, whether the terms needed to be changed, or when he planned to sign.
Fu Shenyuan disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished from her life.
Did Jiang Ranxing not know that Fu Shenyuan was so inefficient?
So she wanted to call him and ask what was going on.
The phone rang twice before the dial tone indicated it had been disconnected.
Jiang Ranxing frowned as he looked at the phone.
What's the situation with Fu Shenyuan?
She called Fu Shenyuan again.
But Fu Shenyuan hung up the phone again.
Jiang Ranxing was slightly angry, wondering what Fu Shenyuan was doing.
Just as she put her phone on the bed and was about to stand up, a message notification popped up on her phone screen.
Fu Shenyuan: [I'm in a meeting right now and it's not convenient for me to answer the phone.]
