As she was about to pass by him, Luo Qi stopped, and turning her head slightly, looked at him, "You are really nice. But if you don’t love someone, you should make it clear promptly. Otherwise it will bring harm to all three of us."
Ah Chuan suddenly hugged Luo Qi tightly, "No, it’s not. I love you, I love you."
He repeated his feelings twice, as if afraid that Luo Qi might not hear clearly.
Had it been in the past, Luo Qi would have been over the moon with happiness. But as of today, her heart was as still as water, not a ripple to be seen.
"Thank you." She smiled, as if she had heard something amusing.
"I’m serious," he said, "It was not that I did not trust you before, it was because..." It was because he felt it was for her own good.
As her boyfriend, he felt obliged to tell her what was right and what was not.
To prevent her from doing something irreversible.
"I know, so I’m saying you haven’t wronged me. You’ve done everything you could, and I’m grateful for that," Luo Qi said.
"I don’t need your gratitude. You know that too, don’t you?" Ah Chuan said, sounding somewhat agitated.
What does she know? Luo Qi looked at him, puzzled.
Her calm and composed demeanor disheartened Ah Chuan, who let go of her.
"Don’t come here again. I’m afraid it will cause more misunderstandings. Moreover, I made a promise to my mom, not to interfere in your affairs anymore. I also don’t want my brother to get hurt because of me."
"It may sound confusing, but I believe you get the point, right? Let’s leave it at that."
Without another look, Luo Qi continued walking.
Ah Chuan grabbed her arm,"I’ve taught her a lesson for you. I will no longer associate with her. I only want you, you..."
Would you , mind not leaving him?
"That’s between you two, it’s none of my business!" Gradually, Luo Qi pulled his hand away.
Watching Luo Qi walk away, Ah Chuan felt as if something essential was slowly being peeled away from him.
Ye Ranran stood in the garden with snowflakes falling on her shoulders and hair.
One brushed the snow off for her, then held up an umbrella to block the snowfall.
"Why are you standing here?"
"Waiting for someone," Ye Ranran responded, looking ahead.
Who could possibly be worth her waiting in such conditions? One felt somewhat discontented.
At the far end of the garden, Zhou Xian was approaching slowly, and One finally understood who Ye Ranran had been waiting for.
"Ranran," Zhou Xian arrived in front of her. Seeing her face regaining a bit of life, he found the words he wanted to say hard to utter.
"There is news, right?" Ye Ranran’s expression didn’t change, and her tone was normal.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the tremble in her voice!
After waiting anxiously for half a month, finally some news arrived. It would have been a lie to say she wasn’t nervous.
"Promise me, no matter what I tell you, you can’t lose your composure. Can you do that?" Zhou Xian’s voice became a bit stern.
Was it bad news? Ye Ranran felt a chill in her heart.
Suddenly she didn’t want to hear any more.
But how could she afford not to listen when it concerned him?
"Okay, I promise you!" She promised slowly, prounouncing every word clearly.
"A few days ago, a body was found in the sea. The body size and clothing were very much like that of the young master. The body had been soaking in the water for half a month, and decay had already set in, leaving no distinguishing features. The people over there wanted us to go for identification."
Ye Ranran thought she must have heard incorrectly. Otherwise, how could she have heard the phrase ’a body’?
"What body? There must be some mistake, right? You all told me that he’s okay, that he will surely come back!"
