A nurse hurriedly ran up, shouting as she approached: "Director Gu, the patient in Room 609 is convulsing after being injected with medication. Doctor Wang is asking for you to come over!"
Gu Qingchen strode off towards the patient in Room 609!
Watching him stride away with determination, Bei Ran muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear: "Can we not get divorced?"
She knew that Gu Qingchen would not hear her!
And it was at this moment, moved by someone else’s love story, that she did not want to divorce him.
Four years of living day and night together, even if it was a marriage of convenience, even if it was loveless. But after all, aren’t we all flesh and blood? Who can truly be heartless?
While Bei Ran stood alone in the empty corridor, Yang Ting came up to her, having wiped away her tears, she stared at Bei Ran: "Miss Bei, thank you for staying with me all afternoon. Also, about my marriage to Su Feng, I’m entrusting it to you, Miss Bei. I would like to go in and see Su Feng now."
"Go ahead!" Bei Ran encouraged her, "I will make sure to arrange your wedding as soon as possible."
That night, Bei Ran was preparing the wedding details for Yang Ting and Su Feng at the computer. Despite the absence of friends and family, as both were orphans, Bei Ran paid meticulous attention to the arrangements. This love etched in the bone, this marriage so heart-wrenching, was incomparable to her own matrimonial life.
When Gu Qingchen returned, Bei Ran got up from in front of the computer, approached him, handed him his slippers, and untied his tie before brewing a cup of Longjing tea for him.
"Hungry? Would you like some late-night snacks?" Bei Ran’s voice was clear and moving, and when she looked at him, her smile bloomed like the flowers on the branches, beautiful and fragrant.
Suddenly, Gu Qingchen felt, why he had been with this woman for four years; he was accustomed to life’s partings and understood that no matter how beautiful love may be, it cannot outlast the end of life.
Yet, for four years she remained by his side, radiating her beauty and fragrance, providing him with a haven amidst the harsh realities.
"What are you busy with?" Gu Qingchen asked after taking a sip of tea.
Bei Ran then sat beside him and softly said, "Yang Ting wants to marry Su Feng, to become husband and wife in the time he has left. I’m busy planning their wedding. Since Su Feng’s condition is special and he can’t leave the hospital, I also have to ask a priest to come..."
"They will not get married!" Gu Qingchen bitterly interrupted her!
"Why?" Bei Ran immediately became anxious, "It was Miss Yang Ting’s idea, nothing could make them happier than being together before they pass away!"
Gu Qingchen placed the teacup forcefully on the coffee table, causing some tea to splash out, "Because my patient, Su Feng, does not wish to marry Yang Ting!"
Knowing he was angry, Bei Ran still couldn’t help saying: "There’s a saying that it’s better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage. What Su Feng needs most right now is the care and love from Yang Ting. Why won’t you help them? How can you be so heartless?"
Gu Qingchen’s handsome face darkened, and his eyes turned icy as he looked at her: "I thought you knew very well how heartless I can be!"
