He stared into her eyes, his gaze filled with a restraint and sorrow she had never seen before: "Weiwei, I can do anything for you if you're willing, can you..."
"cannot."
Gu Baiwei shook off his hand without any politeness. If he hadn't saved Ye Sinian today, she probably would have slapped him as well.
Meeting her resolute gaze, he pursed his lips and said, "Can't you trust me just one more time?"
She didn't speak, turned around and walked silently into the ward, her attitude of refusal was very clear.
Ye Yunting slowly lowered his hand, which was raised in mid-air. He wanted to let go, but he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.
During this time, he kept thinking that maybe it was all just a dream, and when they woke up, she would still be his wife...
In a daze, I seemed to smell a familiar fragrance in my nostrils.
His expression stiffened slightly; this smell was...
The next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his head, as if he were being pricked by needles.
A fine layer of sweat quickly appeared on her fair and smooth forehead.
In the dim light, a smooth, cool hand caressed his cheek, tracing the contours of his face downwards.
The woman's alluring, seductive voice rang in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.
Do you want her? Do you want her back?
Ye Yunting pressed his forehead hard, deep wrinkles forming between his brows: "Get out of here!"
"Hehehe, one day you'll beg me for help."
The eerie, sinister female voice echoed in his mind again, and a flash of red light streaked across his eyes.
He braced himself on his knees, breathing heavily, and after a while, he slowly calmed down, walked to the door of Ye Sinian's ward, and knocked.
Inside the ward, on the pristine white bed, Ye Sinian lay quietly, his breathing deep and even.
Gu Baiwei was carefully wiping away his other wounds when she heard a cautious knock on the door.
I can already guess who it is without even asking.
She furrowed her beautiful brows slightly before speaking in a calm tone, "Come in."
Ye Yunting appeared at the door with a slightly pale face and a somewhat flustered expression.
"Weiwei, can we talk?"
As they were talking, he opened the door and came in, pulling up a chair and sitting down next to her.
Gu Baiwei's eyes were fixed on her sleeping son on the bed, as if she hadn't noticed him at all.
A sense of disappointment welled up in Ye Yunting's heart, but he quickly calmed down.
“I went to look for you that day, but I was surrounded by reporters and couldn’t get away at all…”
He went on to explain what happened back then.
Although it was something that happened in a past life, it all felt like it happened just yesterday to them.
That day, his childhood sweetheart, Tian Xueting, called him and begged him to come see her.
He went because he felt sorry for her, but as soon as he arrived at the agreed location, he received a call from Aunt Liu, who told him that his wife had seen the news and had gone out alone.
Only then did he realize that Tian Xueting had lied to the media, claiming that they were dating.
He was furious and immediately tried to leave despite Tian Xueting's desperate attempts to persuade him to stay.
When he finally got outside, he found himself surrounded by reporters who had come to interview him, and he couldn't get out at all.
By the time he finally managed to shake off the reporters and arrive, she had already fallen off a cliff.
"At first, I was dissatisfied with our marriage. I married you because of my family. But as I spent more time with you, I gradually realized that I couldn't take my eyes off you, and my life couldn't be without you..."
Gu Baiwei listened calmly to him finish speaking, and then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'd like to spend some time quietly with Niannian."
They say time heals all wounds, and the pain that was once unforgettable for her no longer stirs the slightest ripple in her heart.
"Weiwei, can't you give me another chance? Even just for the sake of our children."
Before she could answer, the person on the bed suddenly coughed.
Gu Baiwei hurriedly bent down to pat his back, only to realize that Ye Sinian had woken up at some point.
His face was still somewhat pale, but he had regained some of his vitality.
With difficulty, he looked up at Ye Yunting standing beside him and slowly said, "Thank you for your help this time."
Ye Yunting's expression froze: "Si Nian, I am your father, this is what I should do."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of something shattering on the floor broke the silence of the room.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Ye Chuyue staring at them with wide eyes and an incredulous expression, her lips trembling as she pointed at Ye Yunting: "He is my dad, and you are my mom, right?"
"Yueyue, listen to me."
Gu Baiwei hurriedly stood up, but before she could catch up, Ye Chuyue had already wiped her face hard and turned to run away.
It turned out that her brother had known all along, and she was the only one kept in the dark, like a fool.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and pedestrians hurried along, but she wandered aimlessly down the street alone.
She didn't know how to go back and face her parents, whom she had once lost and then found again.
If she were still a little girl, she might have rushed up and hugged them without hesitation, but now she's all grown up...
Just then, her phone rang.
She picked up her phone, saw the name displayed, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the call.
Song Anze's gentle voice came through the phone: "Yueyue, can we talk?"
As soon as I asked the question, I heard a girl's suppressed sobs coming from the other end of the phone.
His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Yueyue, what's wrong? Did that Li Nanxing bully you?"
Hearing the girl's suppressed sobs on the phone, Song Anze felt his heart breaking.
He struggled with the decision for a long time, initially resolving not to disturb her life anymore, but he simply couldn't do it.
He decided to swallow his pride and compete fairly with Li Nanxing, which is why he mustered up the courage to call.
Send me your location, I'll come find you right away.
Without asking her why, he simply picked up his suit jacket and strode out.
It takes a full half hour to get from his clinic to the hospital where they are located, but he drove at breakneck speed and arrived in just over ten minutes.
Through the fine, dense rain, he could see Ye Chuyue crouching under the eaves of a street corner, taking shelter from the rain.
She was soaked to the bone, and water droplets dripped down her clothes.
A pale little face was buried in her arms, with only a pair of bright eyes showing, like a homeless stray cat, looking very pitiful.
Song Anze felt as if his heart had been violently squeezed by a hand.
She strode over, held the umbrella over her head, and took off her coat to cover her.
Ye Chuyue raised her teary eyes, stared at him for a long time before standing up and throwing herself into Song Anze's arms, bursting into tears.
"Honey, go to the car first, you'll catch a cold here."
He ruffled her wet hair and then lifted her horizontally into the car.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Ye Chuyue sat silently in the car, turned her head to look out the window, and her thoughts drifted back to her elementary school days.
