1192 I Want to Make You Stay 70 (1/2)
”That's not important now,” he answered in his deep voice. ”I don't wish for matters of the past to affect your judgment in the present. Do you get what I mean? Even if I love you, I don't wish for you to force yourself to stay by my side if you're unwilling to. That way, you won't be happy, and neither will I. I've already gotten over it.”
Fang Erlan watched him speak in such a serious manner and responded, ”If you realized this earlier, you shouldn't have disturbed my life at the very beginning. You've already made me like this, and now you're saying this. Don't you think it's too late?”
”How is it too late? It's never too late.” He added in a serious tone, ”Aren't you marrying Yan Ge soon? I won't cling onto you anymore.”
Hearing his words, Fang Erlan actually felt terribly upset.
With her eyes slightly reddened, she gazed at Xiao Chenyang and wrapped her arms around him tightly, bursting into loud wails uncontrollably.
....
When Yan Ge returned at 11:30 pm, he could not find Fang Erlan anywhere in the room.
He thought that Fang Erlan had left, so he gave her a call.
”Erlan, where are you? I don't see you in the room.”
With her phone in hand, Fang Erlan's lips twitched slightly as she replied, ”I went out for a walk. I'll go back right now.”
”Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Fang Erlan said to Xiao Chenyang, ”I'm going back to my hotel room.”
Seeing how Xiao Chenyang did not reply, she got up and started to leave, but when she was at the door, he spoke.
”I'll be staying here for these few days.”
Fang Erlan turned and darted a glance at him before heading back to the room she and Yan Ge had booked.
The room was brightly lit, so there was clearly someone inside.
She entered straight away and saw Yan Ge with his head lowered, looking at his phone.
”It's so late now, where have you been?”
Yan Ge stood up and approached her. Sensing that she seemed to be acting unusual, he probed, ”Why are your eyes so red? You cried? And you changed your clothes?”
Fang Erlan put on a forced smile and muttered, ”My clothes were wet, so I borrowed these to wear. Yan Ge, let's go back to the hotel.”
Yan Ge asked, ”It's already so late… let's just stay here for one night and return tomorrow, shall we?”
”No, I want to return to the hotel now.” Her voice was not very loud but it was full of power, clearly showing her determination.
Seeing how she insisted on returning, Yan Ge nodded and agreed. They honestly had not spent a good time tonight.
When they got into the car, Fang Erlan remarked as she buckled up her seatbelt, ”Not long after you left, Auntie called me.”
”My mother?” Yan Ge held onto the steering wheel and turned the car back. ”What did she say?”
”She thinks that the way I treat my family and you isn't good, so she wants me to break up with you,” she answered simply. ”Yan Ge, will you break up with me because your parents object strongly to our relationship?”
”I'll convince them.” Yan Ge fixed his gaze on her. ”My mother has a misunderstanding about you, don't take her words to heart.”
”What if you aren't able to convince them?” she probed. ”If your mother is hell-bent on objecting to our relationship, what will you do?”
”What's with you? No matter what, she won't disregard her son's happiness. Moreover, I'm a mature adult. I believe I can handle this matter properly.” Yan Ge speculated, ”Don't tell me you cried because of her words?”
