Yi Yuanze did not continue speaking. He only looked at Meng Yunhan the entire time, her expression extremely calm, but her heart was extremely nervous and waiting for her reply.
It was as if time had stopped and even the air had quieted down. However, Meng Yunhan suddenly laughed, and her laughter shattered the extremely awkward scene.
”Yi Yuanze, I think you are truly crazy, your thoughts are not clear, and you do not know what you are talking about. Let me tell you, no matter what happens, I will not cancel the engagement with him, I will not destroy the career that he loves, and I will not marry you. Even though Meng Yunhan said those words with complete certainty, she felt that there was a corner of her heart that was rebutting the words that she had just said.
Although what Meng Yunhan said was not the answer that Yi Yuanze wanted to hear the most, at least right now, his heart that was hanging in the air was relieved, and the somewhat awkward situation was also relieved.
Meng Yunhan turned around and walked towards the door. Looking at her back, he said resolutely: ”Meng Yunhan, this is my condition, the only condition. I can give you time to consider, but your father's hospital doesn't have that much time to consider.”
It seemed that Meng Yunhan was not listening to what Yi Yuanze had said, but these words were firmly etched in her mind, fish and bear's paw couldn't be obtained simultaneously. In fact, in Meng Yunhan's heart, she had already started to weigh whether it was worth it or not, to exchange her marriage and her life in exchange for the two most important jobs in his life.
After walking out of Yi Yuanze's office, Meng Yunhan seemed to have jogged all the way into the stairwell. She could no longer hold back her tears, and at this moment, she was not only feeling wronged, but also afraid and helpless. She strongly covered her mouth, preventing herself from crying out loud.
What Yi Yuanze had said just now appeared in Meng Yunhan's mind again and again, but she was a little unclear on what the current Yi Yuanze wanted to do. He had clearly abandoned the relationship between the two of them earlier, but why did he ask his to do such a thing?
The grievances that had accumulated in Meng Yunhan's heart finally had a chance to vent. After so many years, she had worked hard not to think of Yi Yuanze, not to think of anything related to him, not to think of how he had abandoned his back then, and let his go out of the country by himself. She did not want to think of the despair he had felt when he did not see Yi Yuanze at the airport back then, but when he saw him again, Meng Yunhan realized that there were some things that she could not just forget.
After Meng Yunhan left, it was as if Yi Yuanze had lost his soul, he flipped through everything on the table, then stood blankly by the window. The memories of his past with Meng Yunhan, both sweet and painful, flashed past his mind.
Meng Yunhan hid in the stairwell alone and cried. Yi Yuanze did not know anything about this, even if he knew, what could he do, to comfort or to mock his, he hated this woman, hated the fact that she had left him without saying goodbye, hated the fact that he had not heard of her for so many years, but he had to admit that he still loved this woman, and so he could only use the most extreme of methods to create a chance for them to start anew.
If not for Gu Jing's call, Meng Yunhan did not know how long she would have cried for, but in order to prevent Gu Jing from worrying, she hid her tears. She tried to calm her emotions and cleared her throat, which had become hoarse from crying, ”Hey, is your surgery over?”
”Yeah, it just ended …”
It was Gu Jing's extremely gentle voice, and his voice seemed to have a sort of magic that allowed Meng Yunhan to feel at ease, ”What happened? Didn't I tell you that I have something on today and can't have lunch with you? ”
”It's not important whether or not you eat. It's just that it's raining. I can't let my fiancée get drenched, so I'm here to pick you up.”
”No need …” Meng Yunhan stood up excitedly, she seemed to be afraid, but it was not because she was afraid of Gu Jing coming to pick her up, but because she was afraid of Gu Jing meeting the person that would embarrass them.
”It's okay. I'm about to arrive anyway, so you just wait there obediently. I'm driving, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll be there shortly.” With that, Gu Jing hung up the phone.
