Yun Qiao frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. It would be best if you could stop smoking."
Ye Lin had just put the cigarette in her mouth when she paused when she heard the words.
She glanced up at Yun Qiao and saw that she was frowning and pursing her lips. Finally, she took the cigarette out of her mouth and put it back into the cigarette box.
"If you don't want to smoke, then don't smoke."
She let out a frustrated sigh and said, "You've changed a lot compared to before."
"Hmm?" Yun Qiao was puzzled.
Ye Lin said, "You used to be very patient."
"Really?" Yun Qiao didn't quite remember.
Ye Lin hummed and said, "I remember it very clearly. One time, I accompanied Pan Zhiyuan to the family building at Ruijin Hospital. He smoked in front of Youan. Your brows were furrowed so tightly that they could have killed a mosquito, but in the end, you held back and said nothing, letting him finish a whole cigarette in front of the children."
Ye Lin’s words made Yun Qiao dazed for a moment.
Youan... She hadn't heard this name from anyone for more than ten days.
It was impossible for her to hear it from anyone other than Ye Lin.
Because in this world, she does not exist.
The family building of Ruijin Hospital was the place where Youan lived the longest when she was sick. Because she had congenital heart disease, she was weak and had poor resistance. She was always sick and had to go to the hospital frequently, so for convenience, Yunqiao rented a house in the family building near Ruijin Hospital.
This happened a long time ago. Perhaps people would subconsciously avoid their sad experiences. In the more than ten years after her birth, she seldom recalled the past.
Ye Lin's words awakened her long-lost memories.
She was indeed very tolerant in the past.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
The child is sick and heart surgery requires a lot of money, which her meager income cannot support. For the sake of the child, she can only tolerate Pan Zhiyuan's indecision, his cheating, his bad words, and his lover, Ye Lin, who comes to provoke her from time to time.
But such memories seem like they are from a different world, and indeed they are from a different world.
At that time, she probably would never have thought that there would be a day when she and Ye Lin would stand together calmly and talk about the past.
Yun Qiao didn't want to talk about the past and pretended to be confused: "Did such a thing happen? I don't remember it."
Yun Qiao didn't admit it, and Ye Lin didn't force him.
Anyway, it's enough as long as both of them know what's going on.
"Qin Yunqiao, honestly, I really envy you."
Ye Lin looked at Yun Qiao, a complicated expression on her face hidden by heavy makeup.
She smiled bitterly and said, "You are so lucky. This time, you have a successful career and a happy family. Unlike me, my marriage is unhappy and my children are not close to me."
"It's you who narrowed the road." Yun Qiao said.
"Yes." Ye Lin laughed self-deprecatingly. "It's true that I've narrowed my path. I always rely on men and take shortcuts. But in fact, men are the most unreliable."
"It's ridiculous that I've lived two lifetimes, and it's only now, in my twenties, that I've finally figured things out."
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
Yun Qiao looked at Ye Lin with mixed feelings in his heart.
Ye Lin's former arrogance and violent behavior were the most painful part of her life. However, things have changed, and she has ended up in a similar situation.
Yun Qiao's heart softened for a moment, and he whispered, "It's not too late. As long as we wake up, there's no time to change."
Ye Lin shook her head. "It's not that easy. I've missed so many opportunities these days. For example, my son Pan Xiang only calls me 'Mom' when he wants money from me. The rest of the time, he treats me like a stranger."
"No, worse than a stranger."
"He can be polite and courteous to strangers, but he doesn't even want to pay attention to me."
Yun Qiao sighed, "Children are soft-hearted. If you really want to improve your relationship with him, then you should care about him more and treat him well. You are his mother, and no child doesn't yearn for a mother's love. If you treat him well, he won't remain indifferent."
Ye Lin knew that Yun Qiao was right, but she didn't want to.
"Why?"
