Rong Yanqiao discovered that Jiang Yun had a particularly comfortable way of interacting with people. The two of them chatted with great rapport, like old friends who hadn’t met in years.
As time passed by, sitting there, Rong Yanqiao could even see the sun gradually setting.
The evening glow dyed the distant sky red, the gaps in the leaves revealed a sparkling river in the distance, and the wheat fields were golden.
Rong Yanqiao gazed at the scene, slightly lost in thought, realizing she hadn’t seen such beautiful natural scenery in a long time.
But what surprised her even more was that she had been in North City for so long without knowing there was such a delightful spot for leisure.
"How about it, beautiful, isn’t it?"
Seeing her absorbed in the view outside the window, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but speak, a tone of pride in his voice.
Yet at the same time, an inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart.
She glanced at her phone, which was empty; Rong Qingze still hadn’t sent her a message.
Noticing her expression, Jiang Yun’s eyes darkened slightly.
But he quickly concealed that emotion.
Rong Yanqiao had been staring at her phone for too long, prompting Jiang Yun to ask, "What’s wrong? What are you looking at?"
Awakened by Jiang Yun’s voice, Rong Yanqiao forced a slightly apologetic smile, "Sorry, I made you laugh."
Her smile was particularly unpleasant, and Rong Yanqiao knew how she looked at the moment.
Jiang Yun said, "It’s nothing, we’re all friends."
Seeing that Jiang Yun held no blame towards her, Rong Yanqiao felt even more guilt-ridden. This update is available on novèlfire.net
"You’ve accompanied me this long today, and I’m already very happy."
Rong Yanqiao carefully chose her words.
"Thank you so much today. Is there anything you need my help with?"
The moment she spoke, Rong Yanqiao regretted it.
Right now, she was like a fugitive, how could she possibly help Jiang Yun?
If it were about money, given Jiang Yun’s status, he truly didn’t lack any.
If it were about influence, back when her relationship with Rong Qingze was still good, she might have been able to put in a word for Jiang Yun, but now that their relationship had soured, she couldn’t help him.
Even in terms of appearance, she couldn’t compare to the young girls pursuing Jiang Yun.
After thinking it over, Rong Yanqiao was surprised to find there was nothing she could do to help Jiang Yun.
Feeling awkward, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke up, "If it’s about help, there’s actually something I need your help with."
Rong Yanqiao was stunned.
Jiang Yun seemed a bit embarrassed, "Can you teach me how to pursue someone?"
Hearing this request, Rong Yanqiao felt relieved.
"Be good to her, respect her, consider her feelings, that’s the basic."
She pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is the girl you like?"
Jiang Yun took a sip of tea, appearing to fall into memories.
"She’s very beautiful, very outstanding, the best person in the world."
Rong Yanqiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Meanwhile, on the other end, Rong Qingze was on the verge of going crazy.
After realizing something was wrong with himself, he contacted a doctor.
After a series of tests, he realized that someone had likely poisoned him.
It was a drug that could cause hallucinations.
However, he didn’t know when exactly he had been drugged.
He also heard from others how malicious he had been towards Rong Yanqiao in the past.
Rong Qingze dared not imagine how hurt Rong Yanqiao must feel now, especially while pregnant and hearing these things.
Rong Qingze wanted to go home to comfort and make amends to Rong Yanqiao, but he was stopped by the doctor.
"In our inspection, there are two issues with your body."
The doctor looked at him seriously, "We recommend you undergo further tests."
"Is it something serious?"
Right now, Rong Qingze only wanted to return to Rong Yanqiao as soon as possible.
The doctor’s voice carried a hint of regret, "It’s a tumor."
Rong Qingze was frozen.
The test could only be done the following day.
At night, he went back to see Rong Yanqiao once.
At that time, Rong Yanqiao was sleeping soundly. He wanted very much to wake her and apologize, but due to those uncertain reasons, he could only stand there, silently looking at her.
After all, if he truly had a tumor and was going to die, he would only be a burden to Rong Yanqiao.
Rather than love him for a lifetime and drag Rong Yanqiao down with him, he preferred that Rong Yanqiao live well, even if with hatred.
So, Rong Qingze simply took a few glances at Rong Yanqiao and then left.
Early the next morning, he started a full examination. The results wouldn’t be out until the afternoon at the earliest.
