Wen Ruan suddenly felt a little frightened by Song Yan. She had never seen Song Yan look at her like this before. Standing there, she was a little confused and at a loss, and even her eyes were filled with a trace of fear when she looked at Song Yan.
Song Yan saw the fear in her eyes, and a sharp pain welled up in his heart. Coupled with the fatigue from the intense work of the past few days, he almost lost his balance.
"How did I still scare her..." Song Yan was filled with regret, sighing repeatedly in his heart.
Song Yan stood up, took a step forward, and tried to close the distance between himself and Wen Ruan... to listen patiently to what Wen Ruan was thinking at that moment...
Wen Ruan watched as Song Yan stepped forward, her eyes fixed on him, but her body seemed to unconsciously take a step back...
Song Yan could no longer bear it. He grabbed Wen Ruan's wrist with one hand and pulled her into his arms. He held her and breathed heavily, as if he was trying his best to control his somewhat out-of-control emotions and afraid of scaring her again.
Wen Ruan was so frightened in Song Yan's arms that she didn't dare to move. After a long while, Song Yan gradually calmed down and asked again in a low voice, "Why do we sleep in separate beds?"
His gaze was fixed on Wen Ruan's face, his eyes filled with an unyielding sadness and confusion.
"I...I just wanted you to get some rest. You've been working too hard lately." Wen Ruan's voice was broken and very low. If Song Yan hadn't been paying full attention to her, he would have had a hard time hearing her.
But Song Yan was somewhat unacceptable to this answer and was not entirely satisfied: "Then why sleep in separate beds? What does this have to do with it?"
Faced with Song Yan's relentless questioning, Wen Ruan was somewhat at a loss...
When this happened, Wen Ruan was unsure how to get along with Song Yan in the future, especially when he learned that he was not the little shadow who had followed him around since childhood. He wondered how Song Yan felt and whether he could accept it.
In particular... she wanted to know... who Song Yan truly loved?
However, she knew that given Song Yan's personality, he would not give up until she gave him a satisfactory answer.
Having no other choice, Wen Ruan closed her eyes briefly, as if making a decision in her heart, before opening them again with some trepidation and asking loudly, "When did you fall in love with me? Or rather, do you actually like me... or her?"
When Wen Ruan finally asked the question, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief... At that moment, Wen Ruan only wanted to ask the question in her heart, and even the answer became less important.
Although Wen Ruan did not reveal who "she" was, Song Yan understood immediately.
Upon hearing Wen Ruan's question, Song Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his heart. His restless mind had suddenly found a place of peace.
Song Yan's deep, dark eyes fixed intently on Wen Ruan's, his gaze narrowing slightly. A low chuckle escaped from deep within his throat, then grew louder and louder...
Wen Ruan nestled quietly in his arms, unaware of why he had suddenly begun to chuckle. She could only quietly feel the vibrations of his chest.
Just as Wen Ruan was at a loss, a sigh suddenly came from beside her, and he finally spoke: "It's you, it's always been you, my Ruan Ruan..."
Sometimes I wonder when I truly fell in love with you. After much thought, I think it was probably the very first day we met... the day we set our wedding date...
"Although your lifestyle and other aspects haven't changed much, your overall demeanor and the charm that emanates from within clearly make me feel that you're different..."
"I'd had a feeling before that something huge had happened to you, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Until yesterday, my long-held suspicion was finally confirmed..."
"What I love is not the beautiful body you have, but the resilient soul you possess."
"As for 'Wen Ruan,' I've always treated her like a younger sister. Hearing you say she'll be doing well from now on puts my mind at ease..."
"Ruan Ruan, do you know, the vibrant energy you exude, your unwavering determination to seek self-breakthrough and self-growth, and your free and expansive soul all move me and make me look at you with admiration."
Song Yan's eyes were as deep as a lake, or like a vast galaxy. Wen Ruan glanced at them and felt as if she were about to drown in them. She could feel that she was being constantly enveloped by a giant net called "deep affection" from Song Yan.
"Ruan Ruan, I'm so glad you trust me and told me everything. You're starting to care about me more and more." As he said this, Song Yan's lips curled up with a happy smile, the lines around his mouth seemingly filled with joy.
Song Yan was very happy. It turned out that it had never been just his wishful thinking all along, but a two-way journey between the two of them. In this game of love, he was never the only one who was worried about gains and losses.
"Ruan Ruan... don't be afraid, I will always be with you. It's not that I want to, it's that I will." Song Yan paused, as if choosing his words carefully, before speaking slowly and firmly.
At that moment, Wen Ruan felt as if all her doubts, confusion, anxiety, and even unease had vanished, leaving only him in her eyes. "He is my homeland, my cure, my peace of mind, and my way home..."
With a touched smile on her face, Wen Ruan reached out and hugged Song Yan back.
