Chapter 230: Big boss 230, will you run away? Chapter 230: Big boss 230, will you run away? After dinner, Shi Lan, dressed in a black tracksuit and duckbill cap, was ready to go out alone, but afraid she couldn’t control her emotions, she decided to bring Dr. Sun along after some thought.
“Boss, where are we headed?” Sun Ling asked gripping Shi Lan’s arm nervously as the cab started moving towards a deserted area.
“You’ll see in a moment.”
Without giving an explicit answer, Sun Ling could only feel that the boss had been acting oddly since the afternoon, even getting distracted during the filming. It wasn’t until they arrived at the entrance of the National Park Cemetery that Sun Ling felt scared and hid behind Shi Lan.
“Boss, coming to this kind of place late at night doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”
“You can wait at the entrance. I’ll go in by myself,” Shi Lan pointed toward the Buddhist hall not far away.
“Wouldn’t that be even scarier? I’d better stick with you.”
After registering at the entrance, the two entered the burial area. Without any hesitation, the young mistress headed straight for the grave that held her flesh. However, at the familiar site, the tombstone was void of any inscription.
“Boss, who’s grave is this? Why is there no inscription?”
“Mine,” Shi Lan said.
Sun Ling was so frightened that he let go of her arm, his body breaking out in goosebumps.
“Boss, don’t scare me.”
“There used to be an inscription. Not long after I woke up from the hospital, I came to the cemetery and encountered Yan Shixiu and his sister. When I returned, I got the role of the second female lead in ‘Smoke,’ my room number was arranged to be 1117, and soon after, I had a personal chef.”
It took Sun Ling a while to connect the dots, but then he realized, “You mean, Mr. Yan knew from the start about you… But if he knew from the beginning, why didn’t he expose you? Could it be for your inheritance? No, that can’t be right; he wouldn’t be so good to you, bearing his heart out. Logically, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to make you disappear? But from what I’ve seen, Mr. Yan has always been on tenterhooks around you, without much sense of security.”
“Because he knew, if he told me from the start that he recognized me, I would never have given him a chance,” Shi Lan explained.
“I can connect the dots now, boss. Mr. Yan recognized you but didn’t acknowledge you because he understood your personality and knew Shi Lan would run. So, he had to make you believe that he had no feelings for Shi Lan but had fallen for An Lan, allowing you to accept his affection without any burden. I’ve always been puzzled hearing about your marital life; with Mr. Yan’s capabilities, he could have left you, left Shi Lan once your debt was cleared, but he didn’t. Even when it came to confrontations, he maintained the marriage. Why?”
Sun Ling unraveled the mystery like a detective, reaching the core of the issue.
“That’s because Mr. Yan has been in love with Shi Lan, with you, all along. There’s no past or present life, just the same soul.”
After listening to Sun Ling, Shi Lan took a few steps forward, seemingly intent on confronting Yan Shixiu and getting a clear answer.
However, she was pulled back by Sun Ling who said, “Boss, would you run?”
Shi Lan was stopped cold by Sun Ling’s question.
“What does Mr. Yan mean to you?”
“You need to realize that someone who has gone to such lengths to be considerate of your feelings, who has laid out such a grand scheme just to keep you, might be devastated by a single breakup, losing all his hope.”
“So, think it over before you go.”
