Tang Yuchen, having no choice, agreed to her request.
Today, exactly two years since their agreed time, Tang Yuchen still felt no affection for her, so she gave up hope and decided not to love him anymore, to let go of herself.
This is what happened to Tang Yuchen over the past two years and why he and Lan Keren were still married.
After hearing this, An Ruo was somewhat touched.
Tang Yuchen’s body and mind had not betrayed her, and she did not know whether to be happy or sad about this.
Why let her know the truth only now? Could it be too late?
After Lan Keren finished speaking, she said to her, "Ah Chen has only you in his heart, he truly loves you very much, and being with me was also forced by me, he has his difficulties. Can you forgive him and be with him again?"
An Ruo was silent for a moment, then slightly shook her head: "I have never blamed him, I know he has his reasons, I can understand, but I can’t be with him again..."
"I’ve told you, I forced him..."
An Ruo smiled at her: "There are always problems between him and me, today it is you forcing him, what if someone else forces him next time? I am not demanding that he stubbornly refuse and not care even for his life to avoid betraying me. I just hate living a life that is repeatedly hurt, I’m really scared now... Lady Lan, thank you for telling me all this, but there really isn’t any possibility for him and me anymore, perhaps it’s destined that our love is profound but our fate shallow."
"An Ruo..." Lan Keren’s eyes flickered, and in that moment, she felt an urge to tell her another hardship of Tang Yuchen.
But she could not say it, nor was it her place to say.
"Are you really not going to be with him again? You both clearly still love each other."
An Ruo stood up and smiled faintly: "Lady Lan, I am twenty-eight years old this year. I have been through a lot and have become indifferent to many things. Love may be beautiful and important, but losing it won’t make me suffer unbearably. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lan Keren was at a loss for words.
She understood her meaning, even if she still loved Tang Yuchen, the love she had for him had been buried deep in her heart and could no longer be rekindled.
Perhaps one day in her life, her love would be reignited, or perhaps, it would forever remain dormant, never to be revived.
An Ruo gave her a slight smile and turned to walk upstairs.
Her current intention was only to care for Tang Yuchen until he recovered, and then to completely clear boundaries with him, no longer to associate with him.
Upon opening the door to the hospital room, Tang Yuchen’s gaze instantly fell on her.
His dark, shining eyes observed her, eager to discern her current thoughts from her expression or eyes.
He knew what Lan Keren was going to talk to her about, he was very hopeful for her forgiveness, very anxious about her feelings for him now.
Would she forgive him, would she decide to be with him again?
Tang Yuchen had never been so nervous before, his feelings at this moment were like a criminal waiting for a verdict. Perhaps the verdict was death, or perhaps acquittal...
An Ruo approached him with a calm expression and asked, "How are you feeling now, do you need me to do anything?"
These past few days, this was the phrase she had said to him the most.
She was very diligent in taking care of him, but her care was only a duty and obligation, unrelated to love.
