This is the first page.
Su Yan's hand, clutching the envelope, trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. She dared not continue reading the second page.
A voice inside her kept reminding her that after reading the second page, she would never see Wen Nai again in her life.
After a long pause, she finally pulled up the second page.
Page 2.
The price I have to pay is my life. I can only live for less than ten years in your world. The master said that if I'm lucky, I might disappear in ten years, but if I'm unlucky, I'll disappear in three to five years. It seems that I'm pretty lucky now, at least I've waited until you got married.
Ah Yan, my time is coming to an end. I've had this feeling for a year now. I just can't get up anymore. I don't want you to be sad. I want you to look beautiful on your wedding day. Please forgive me for hiding this from you. Being best friends with you for two lifetimes is my greatest happiness.
You don't need to feel guilty, because I had cancer in my past life and kept it from you. My days were numbered, and by making this choice, I actually gained a few more years of life.
Promise me you won't be sad, cherish each day, and be happy forever.
February 27, 1988, Winnie.
Su Yan was heartbroken. She buried the envelope tightly in her chest and leaned against the wall, sobbing uncontrollably.
She shakily took out her phone and dialed Luris's number.
The other end answered quickly.
Upon hearing the sobbing, Rulis remained silent for a moment before saying, "You finally saw the letter."
Su Yan wiped away her tears and pressed, "Where's Wen Nai? Is she still alive?"
"The young lady passed away at 10:30 pm on February 28th. Her grave is in Beijing. I'll come pick you up."
...
An hour later.
cemetery.
Su Yan stared blankly at the grave in front of her. The tombstone showed Wen Nai smiling, but it wasn't the face she had in her previous life.
She reached out and gently stroked it. "Why didn't you tell me? Even after my wedding, why didn't you call to tell me?"
Her tone was calm, but tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, falling drop by drop onto the tombstone.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Lulis choked out, "The young lady said that she wants to make you happy for as long as possible, so that you won't be as happy as you used to be in the future."
Su Yan knelt down, leaning against the tombstone, biting her lip and blaming herself, saying, "No wonder you didn't call me on my wedding day. You didn't answer my calls, and I didn't think too much about it at the time... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nana, I was too careless."
Why didn't you tell me? Do you know how much I wanted to see you one last time? Now I haven't even seen you one last time, how can I be happy afterwards?
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yan felt a wave of dizziness.
The next second, she lost consciousness and collapsed.
"Miss Su!"
"Ayan!"
"Junior Sister!"
...
When Su Yan woke up again, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling, and her nostrils were filled with the familiar smell of disinfectant.
Before she could react, Jiang Jingxing, who had been watching over her, exclaimed excitedly, "Ayan, you're awake? Xie Jin, come quick, Ayan's awake!"
Then came the sound of footsteps.
Soon, the hospital bed was surrounded by people.
Su Yan's gaze swept over everyone one by one.
Li Juan, Grandpa Jiang, and their two mentors, including Xie Jin, were all there.
"What's wrong with me?" she asked, her voice hoarse.
Jiang Jingxing felt extremely distressed. "Ayan, you're pregnant. You fainted because your emotions were too volatile, causing instability in the fetus."
Elder Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although your health has improved, it has damaged your foundation and you are no longer suitable for conception. The child in your belly almost disappeared. If Elder He hadn't used his unique acupuncture technique to help you keep the pregnancy, you would have received even more bad news when you woke up. It's really fortunate."
Su Yan's physical condition was what it was; without Elder He's unique acupuncture technique, even if those two old men, along with Xie Jin and Guo Ziming, couldn't save Su Yan's child.
"From now on, you must keep your emotions stable and avoid doing anything that is even slightly stimulating or strenuous. This child might be born safely. You, my dear girl, I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or not." Old Master He was also quite helpless.
Su Yan was lucky because her body was fundamentally damaged, making it difficult for her to conceive, and even if she did conceive, she was prone to miscarriage.
As it turned out, she and the child both survived.
Su Yan subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and said in disbelief, "Pregnant? You're pregnant already?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Master Jue said seriously, "Let me give you a heads-up: this child is your first and your last. After you give birth, there will be absolutely no possibility of you getting pregnant again. You know why yourself."
She nodded.
On the surface, everything seems calm and peaceful, but underneath it's all in chaos. Pregnant with this child will take a toll on her body.
Xie Jin said cautiously, "We know about Wen Nai's situation. No matter how sad you are, you have to adjust your emotions for the sake of the child."
Su Yan pursed her lips and said calmly, "I understand, but how did you know where I was?"
Jiang Jingxing said, "You forgot? I installed location tracking software on your new phone. Xie Jin was coming to see you, and I ran into him. I called you but no one answered, so I went to the warehouse and saw the letter Wen Nai left for you. Then I checked your location and went there."
Where is Alice?
"She's outside."
"I want to talk to her alone."
Jiang Jingxing frowned, somewhat uneasy.
