Chapter 628 - How was She Going to Choose (1/2)

”Go home then. You haven't been resting well lately,” she said in her usual warm voice. She had never thrown her temper before, no matter what kind of trouble Bai Luoyin brought for her and no matter how much Bai Zhenfeng protected his daughter boundlessly. It seemed as though Wei Lan had already killed all the temper left in her body. She smiled as usual and gave her usual gaze.

”I…” Bai Zhenfeng did not dare to be righteous like before. He was just like a small child who had done something wrong and was deadly afraid of the woman smiling peacefully.

”Let's go.” He placed his fist by his mouth and coughed lightly. As he said, he was going to put his hand over Wei Lan's shoulder, but Wei Lan took a step back and left Bai Zhenfeng's hand hanging in the air. His face tensed up.

Wei Lan touched her own hair and smiled again. ”You can go back first. I still have some stuff to tell Ruoxin.” As soon as she finished talking, she walked past Bai Zhenfeng and to the door, with the corner of her shirt flying up slightly from the wind. However, throughout, she still did not have any contact with Bai Zhenfeng who was physically very close to her.

Xia Ruoxin served up two freshly-made fruit juice on the table.

”Auntie Wei, you're here.” She raised her hand, and yet she could not guess or comprehend what Wei Lan was thinking.

”Yeah, I just returned so I came over to see you.” Wei Lan sat down, and one could tell that below her tired eyes, there was a patch of green and purple.

Outside, Bai Zhenfeng's face was burning red; and he walked away quickly as if he would rather be buried in the ground if he had stayed for more than a minute.

”Auntie Wei, did you hear everything…?” Xia Ruoxin brought her cup up and placed it by her lips. Actually, she really wanted to know if Wei Lan and Shen Yijun were similar or different.

Was she willing to sacrifice her children or the marriage she had protected for so many years?

”Yeah, I did.” Wei Lan smiled, and tears started to well up in her eyes.

Even if she did not hear much, but it was already enough.

Xia Ruoxin drank her apple juice. It was sour but sweet, just like her heart. Just that, the sweetness had already been overwhelmed by the sourness. Perhaps the apple she bought today was sour.

”Thank you, Ruoxin.” Wei Lan suddenly extended her hand and placed it on Xia Ruoxin's shoulders. ”Thank you for taking the risk to help Gao Yi. I just can't imagine.” She laughed bitterly. ”Would I even have my son in a couple of months or longer?”

Xia Ruoxin thought to herself: perhaps she had seen Gao Yi and knew what had happened.

She converged her lashes and looked up again to see Wei Lan smiling. Just that, her face was dismal.

”Ruoxin, could you do Auntie a favor?” Wei Lan asked suddenly, which made Xia Ruoxin uneasy. Was she going to abandon her soon, too, and ask Xia Ruoxin to convince Gao Yi?

”Please say it.” She used her thumb to rub against the cup, feeling the coldness from the cup. Again and again, her heart started to feel heavy.
