Yi Tianran's eyelids twitched, and her face darkened slightly. "Just friends? Don't tell me you can't see her feelings for you. There should be a limit to pretending to be crazy. Don't trample on other people's feelings so recklessly."
"Hiss—" Fu Zhiyan couldn't help but gasp. "You're becoming more and more like an elder sister-in-law! You and my brother are a match made in heaven."
"Don't try to joke with me." Yi Tianran didn't mean to lecture him, but she felt that the girl was sincere and shouldn't be taken advantage of.
Fu Zhiyan said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood. This is all just for show. It's not a real relationship. She doesn't really like me."
Yi Tianran's expression changed slightly. "What did you say?"
“That’s exactly right!” Fu Zhiyan said casually, “I met her at a bar. She created a chance encounter right away, pretending to be harmless, but she actually knew who I was all along. I’ve seen this kind of trick many times.”
Since she's going to play these tricks, I'll just go along with it! I'm not toying with her feelings anyway; she'll just get bored and it'll all be over.
Yi Tianran was stunned.
What... what's going on?
She blurted out instinctively, "Are you mistaken? Don't you remember her? She is..."
"What is she?" Fu Zhiyan asked curiously.
It seems he really doesn't remember his childhood sweetheart? He just sees her as some random woman he picked up at a bar?
Yi Tianran wanted to tell him, but... she wasn't sure what Li Manyue was thinking.
What if this is their plan, to create a romantic connection through a chance encounter while deliberately concealing their identity?
If she reveals it without permission, it might only do more harm than good for Li Manyue!
Thinking of this, she could only sigh helplessly, "I just feel that her demeanor and behavior are very much like someone who is deeply in love, so I guess she really likes you. If you don't like her, don't give her the wrong impression, or it would be better to make things clear to her."
Fu Zhiyan, however, didn't seem to care and said, "Those women, didn't they all say they genuinely liked me, but in the end... never mind, let's not talk about it!"
When he met Yi Tianran's sharp gaze, his heart skipped a beat, just like when he saw Fu Yunchen, and he immediately became timid.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll definitely talk to her clearly next time, and I believe she understands in her heart."
By creating a chance encounter in a bar and deliberately behaving that way towards him, her true intentions are obvious.
Fu Zhiyan's identity is no secret in the entire circle. Everyone knows that he is the young master of the Fu family, a promising young surgeon, and has even published a paper in The Lancet. He has countless accolades, so there are quite a few women who want to get close to him with the goal of rising to the top.
In matters of the heart, they were all seasoned veterans, each more skilled than the last in their performances of deep affection, even deceiving him once.
Back then, he was young and ambitious, and quite famous. Before he became a playboy, he met a woman when his friends dragged him to these bars.
When he saw her being bullied, he acted heroically to save her. Later, he was attracted by her innocence and beauty, and the heart of this pure-hearted young man was completely captivated.
He did many things for her that seem stupid now, even moving himself to tears. In the end, the woman took five million from his mother, then turned and left without a second thought.
At first, he didn't know why she left. He cried and complained, feeling that God was unfair to him and had taken away his beloved. He even felt utterly hopeless at that time.
He later learned the truth from his mother, who told him that women are not as simple as they seem. She had planned to approach him from the beginning, only interested in his status and money.
He couldn't believe it, but the signature in black and white proved everything.
It was then that he realized how naive and ridiculous he had been.
From then on, I never took relationships seriously again.
As it turns out, there isn't that much pure and beautiful love in this world; everyone has selfish motives, and it's all just calculation.
Of course, he never told anyone about this tragic and melodramatic past, nor did he want to complain to anyone.
So even if Yi Tianran thinks he's a scumbag, it doesn't matter. In fact, he's self-aware enough to know that he's not sincere when it comes to relationships.
He could never fully commit to any relationship, and he was always decisive when breaking up, even if the woman cried and begged him to stay. But in these situations, he would always offer some form of compensation.
When handbags, jewelry, luxury cars, and other gifts are given, the women no longer cry, but happily accept the gifts.
He had completely seen through these tactics.
Yi Tianran didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew that this seemingly cynical guy wasn't actually a bad person.
However, outsiders have no right to interfere in matters of the heart.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and gently patted Fu Zhiyan's shoulder. "I just hope that you can see the people around you more clearly, and don't let yourself regret it in the future."
Fu Zhiyan was unaware of the implication behind her words and simply nodded casually.
...
In the hospital ward—
Looking at Daniel's pale face on the hospital bed, Kasha's heart was filled with turmoil.
From childhood, she was used to being strong and independent because she was the only daughter in her family and shouldered the family's mission.
The immense responsibility weighed on her shoulders, leaving her no right to act coquettishly or show weakness like other girls.
Over the years, no matter how great the difficulties she encountered, she persevered through them.
Even later, when her family encountered difficulties, she never thought of crying and begging for help. Instead, she chose to sacrifice her own happiness to help her family through the hardship.
It wasn't until Yi Tianran appeared that she realized she could make a name for herself through her own abilities.
This gradually brightened her mind.
But she never expected that someone would be willing to risk their life to save her.
Only someone with the mental capacity of a three-year-old like Daniel would do something so foolish for her.
A father's first priority is his family. A mother's first priority is her father. Just as best friend Fan Na's greatest love is her family, Yi Tianran also has Fu Yunchen and three children.
But only Daniel puts her first in his life.
I doubt anyone, before or after, will ever treat her like that again.
The thought of this made her feel a pang of pain and distress. Looking at his sleeping face, she felt a mix of emotions.
In the latter half of the night, sleepiness overcame her, and she gradually fell asleep by the bedside.
When I regained consciousness, the sun was shining brightly through the window.
Kasha opened her blurry eyes and looked up to see that Daniel had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, staring intently at her.
