“Don’t say that. We clearly have lunch together every day, but you didn’t even say anything when you disappeared. You even rejected my calls. How can I not be worried?” Lan Xin said with a sobbing tone.
“How could that be? I had something on at that time and could not say it in time. It was also inconvenient for me to answer the call. I’m sorry, Ah Xin. I’ll definitely tell you first next time.” Bai Ran patted Lan Xin’s back to calm her down.
“That’s right. I was so worried too. I thought you had been taken away by Huo Tian again,” Jiang Yun said.
“No, Boss Huo wouldn’t do the same thing twice. Besides, he didn’t harass me anymore. When I went back, he found someone to give me my/ phone,” Bai Ran explained with a smile.
“He’s not a good person anyway. Otherwise, why would he do such a thing?” Jiang Yun said speechlessly. He was angry when he thought of that day.
With the matter resolved, everyone went their separate ways.
In the evening, in the hospital ward.
Hu Wan sat on the bed while Chen Chen peeled a pear for her with a fruit knife.
His hands moved in a daze, but his thoughts had already drifted to Bai Ran.
Over the past few days, he had not looked for Bai Ran again.
He knew that the ring had really hurt her last time and had caused her to reject him.
However, when he thought of how intimate she was with that person surnamed Jiang, he was furious. As he thought about this, he stabbed the pear.
“Ah, Chen Chen, what’s wrong?” Hu Wan felt a little strange.
“It’s okay. Isn’t this peeled? You can just eat it.” Chen Chen handed the pear to Hu Wan.
“That’s too rough.” Hu Wan pouted. “I want you to cut it into small pieces and feed me.”
Chen Chen’s hand that was holding the pear was a little hesitant. Hu Wan had requested him like this in the past, and he had also done it. However, today, he inexplicably did not want to do it.
“Chen Chen, are you unwilling?” Hu Wan looked at Chen Chen, her heart suddenly feeling a little empty.
“Oh, no.” Chen Chen was stunned for a moment before he recovered and cut a small piece into the bowl beside him.
Seeing that Chen Chen did not reject her, Hu Wan’s heart relaxed. She said, “Chen Chen, when are you planning to marry me?”
At this moment, the knife in Chen Chen’s hand stopped completely. Then, he said, “After I get my divorce certificate with Bai Ran.”
“Can’t the ritual be held first?” Hu Wan raised her eyes and probed.
“That has no legal effect. You don’t have a real status,” Chen Chen said.
“But you two haven’t gotten a divorce. She’s been back for so long.” Hu Wan’s tone was a little dissatisfied.
“We’ll get a divorce eventually. Don’t worry,” Chen Chen replied seriously and perfunctorily.
“But you also know my illness… I can’t wait…” Hu Wan lowered her head. When she looked up again, she looked aggrieved, her eyes shining with tears. “I really don’t want to force you, but I really don’t have time.”
“Okay, I’ll do it as soon as possible,” Chen Chen said.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Chen went to look for Ye Lin.
He was filled with bitterness and wanted to pour it all out, but he did not expect that there was a very familiar girl beside Ye Lin at this moment, Lan Xin.
“Why are you here? Where’s Bai Ran?” Chen Chen ran forward.
“Tsk. Xiao Lan isn’t Bai Ran’s follower. Can’t be alone for a while after work?” Ye Lin said with a smile.
“Brother Chen, no. Don’t listen to Brother Lin’s nonsense. Ran Ran should be eating with Jiang Yun,” Lan Xin said.
“The two of them are together again?” Chen Chen’s brows furrowed into a frown.
“They’re boyfriend and girlfriend. Why can’t they be together?” Lan Xin asked, not understanding.
“Haha, Xiao Lan, don’t worry about it.” Ye Lin smirked. “Let’s play our own game.”
“I feel like Brother Chen is especially concerned about our Ran Ran..” Lan Xin looked at Chen Chen, her mind already beginning to stir. “Do you want to chase after our Ran Ran too? Or have you two dated before?”
