Still shocked, Xu Qingyan asked with difficulty, "Ranran, how have you been all these years?"
Ye Ran grinned silently, then chuckled, "Don't you really know whether I'm doing well or not?"
From your conversation with your wife, it seems some relatives from your hometown came looking for you! So you didn't lose contact after all! You just didn't reach me..."
Xu Qingyan hurriedly explained, "No, something happened at school, and I went home to find you as soon as I resolved it."
I wanted to bring you to Beijing so we could live together, but you were already gone by then. I searched for you for a long time without any news, so…”
Hearing Xu Qingyan's explanation, Ye Ran remained unmoved. "Enough. I don't want to hear these hypocritical explanations. We all know the truth, so let's not make any more pointless arguments."
Having understood Ye Ran's attitude, Xu Qingyan calmed down, straightened his clothes, and said in a low voice, "No matter what, Ranran, I did have feelings for you, but you seem to have some misunderstanding about me. None of that matters, as long as you are doing well."
Looking at this person who still seems unaffected by the incident, Ye Ran felt a bit absurd. How could she have been so devoted to this person in the first place?
They even gave up their chance to go to university, their dreams, and their future for someone like that. All for this person!
Because of this person, she made the wrong choice and paid a heavy price for it: her parents' lives, her own life, her daughter's health, and it seems that for the rest of her life, she will have to pay for this wrong decision.
Ye Ran stared intently at Xu Qingyan, who gradually became uneasy. How ridiculous! This 40-year-old man had not a single wrinkle on his face, a stark contrast to her.
Xu Qingyan's 40-year-old face still shows no signs of aging, and he remains as handsome as he was in his youth, only now he has gained a maturity, composure, and elegance that young people lack, making him even more captivating.
This is the pride of the Xu family. The unremarkable Xu Qiang and the burly Wei Jinlian gave birth to such a tall and handsome son. From a young age, they gave him whatever he wanted and never let him suffer a bit.
They helped him do all sorts of bad things, allowing this hypocrite to maintain his sanctimonious facade, as if a good bamboo shoot had emerged from a bad bamboo. Regardless of how the Xu family was viewed outside, he was universally praised.
It's no wonder that Ye Ran was captivated by his appearance when she was young, and coupled with the life-saving grace she received when she fell into the water, she fell deeply in love with him, to the point of losing herself.
Even later, Xu Qingyan became the only daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital, and from then on, she rose rapidly in rank and became superior to others.
Xu Qingyan couldn't contain himself any longer, "Today's result can only be described as a missed opportunity by fate. I can't express my apology, I can only do my best to make it up to you."
"Ranran, is there anything I can do to help you right now?"
Ye Ran smiled bitterly. Her miserable life was all thanks to this man, yet he claimed it was a missed opportunity of fate? What kind of shameless person could say such a thing?
"Very well, if that's the case, then there's no need to be polite." Ye Ran laughed heartily, "Sure! I actually do need your help with something..."
Don't worry, once you've helped me with this, I will never appear in front of you again, and I will never reveal a single word about your past to anyone.
It won't disturb your life or that of your family; you can continue to live happily with them.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan eagerly asked, "What kind of help is it? I will definitely do my best to make it up to you!"
Ye Ran smiled slightly: "It's simple, let's go back to the hospital first!"
