”Zhan Yan, don't cry.” Gao Yuxuan hugged her painfully, but he did not know how he should comfort her.
Zhan Yan forced back her tears and pushed him away, ”Brother Yuxuan, I want to be alone for a while. You go out first.”
”Yes.” Gao Yuxuan had no choice but to leave.
Zhan Yan's hands held tightly onto the railing, and his body slowly slid down along the fence. The cold night wind assaulted him in waves, Zhan Yan's arms wrapped around her knees, his body curled up into a ball, but she was still unable to stop herself from trembling. Her clear tears trembled on her long eyelashes.
Her palms were pressed tightly against her lower abdomen. The pressure was very heavy, and her abdomen began to twitch in pain again. This was a symptom that had appeared more than once during her stay in the hospital. As an obstetrician, Zhan Yan was extremely clear about his current situation. Technically, this could be considered a type of mental pain.
There were many times where Zhan Yan would be unable to differentiate between dream and reality. In a trance, she always felt that her little face was still there, but in reality, her little face had already gone to heaven, and become the happiest little angel in heaven.
In the eastern sky, a rising star appeared. Zhan Yan bit her lips and stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face. She knew that it was time to face reality.
Zhan Yan made Du Xiaomo complete the discharge procedures and then went to the coffee shop that she had agreed to meet with Luo Meijuan alone.
Because of the traffic jam on the road, Luo Meijuan was a few minutes late. When she walked into the coffee shop, Zhan Yan was already seated at the window seat. With one hand on her cheeks and the other hand lightly looking out of the window, she sat there like an elegant, static oil painting.
”I've been waiting for a long time.” Luo Meijuan sat down opposite of her. One cup of Blue Mountain, thank you. ” she said to the waitress.
”A cup of green tea.” Zhan Yan said indifferently.
”The waiter was slightly taken aback, as very few people would order a cup of tea in a coffee shop.” ”Okay, you two have been waiting for a long time.”
When the green tea was placed in front of Zhan Yan, within the transparent tea cup, tender green leaves floated in the air, looking very much like a little girl in front of him, clear and warm.
”Madam Gu, I've considered this before and decided to accept your conditions.”
Her answer was not out of Luo Meijuan's expectations. After all, Wei Jingnian's life was still in her hands. ”Not bad, you're a sensible person.”
After Luo Meijuan finished speaking, she took out a stack of documents from her bag and handed it over to Zhan Yan, ”This is a divorce agreement, take it and sign it for Wei Yang.”
Zhan Yan was a little taken aback, she thought that as long as she signed the divorce agreement with her name, it would be fine. ”Why me?”
Luo Meijuan laughed coldly, ”Only you can make Weiyang truly give up hope. ”Miss Wei, please don't let me down. Don't forget, your father is still waiting for you.”
Zhan Yan did not remember how she managed to get out of the coffee shop. She only knew that the divorce agreement that she had in her hand weighed a thousand gold.
Zhan Yan hailed a taxi, and told the driver the address of Ji Weiyang's company.
When she rushed to the company, Ji Weiyang was in a meeting, and Yu Mei, the secretary, brought her into the resting room to wait. The long hours, from nine in the morning until afternoon, had gone by without a trace. The coffee on the table had long since turned cold, and her slender fingers were fiddling with the silver spoon.
Behind him, the door to the lounge creaked, followed by steady, familiar footsteps approaching. Zhan Yan turned her head and saw that Ji Weiyang had already arrived beside him. He was dressed in a handsome and upright Armani suit.
At the same time, Ji Weiyang stared deeply at her. Three months of time, was neither short nor long, but she had already lost all of his weight, leaving behind only the size of a palm, and her pale white skin had completely lost its color. Her originally rosy lips had also lost its lustre, only leaving behind a pair of big black eyes that were still as bright as ever.
Zhan Yan lowered her head and stood there, her hands folded across each other. Ji Weiyang didn't say anything further and embraced her tightly, ”Why didn't you take good care of yourself?” There was a hint of reproach in his tone, but more of concern.
With just this one plain question, Zhan Yan's breathing had almost become stifling at this instant, and her tears had not lived up to their expectations.
Ji Weiyang's slender fingers, clear as day, lightly traced across her exquisite cheeks and wiped away the tears on her face. ”Don't cry, Yan Yan, I'm back. I will take care of you.”
Zhan Yan turned her face to the side, forcing herself to leave his warm embrace. Yes, he came back, but Ji Weiyang, do you know? You came back too late. Everything was over. There was no way back.
”Viyan, I've been waiting for you to come back.” Zhan Yan smiled bitterly and took out the divorce agreement from her bag, ”We should talk about the divorce.”
Ji Weiyang's arm that was holding her, trembled almost imperceptibly, his handsome face was still calm and composed, his deep gaze swept across her pale white face, and he laughed bitterly, ”Divorce? ”Alright, give me a proper reason.”
The tears in Zhan Yan's eyes had already dried, but the look in her eyes was burning with determination. She definitely could not withdraw at this moment, as her father was still waiting for her in the prison.
”Ji Weiyang, do you think we can continue to live together after what has happened? You see me every day as a murderer. Don't you hate me, don't you feel sad? ” Zhan Yan clenched his teeth, and forced himself to say those fierce words.
The atmosphere instantly sank into dead silence. Ji Weiyang's tall and big body stood there like a stone statue. He stared intently at her, his eyes slightly moist.
After a short moment of silence, he slowly lifted her pale little face with her warm palm, and said with a bitter smile: ”Zhan Yan, if I were to say this, even if you hurt my heart completely, I wouldn't care, I wouldn't even care if you still had Gao Yuxuan in your heart. I just want you to stay by my side, as long as you stay by my side, is that not okay?”
His powerful palm pressed down on her shoulder. He gazed at her with deep emotions and sorrow. ”Yan Yan, I don't want to lose you.”
Zhan Yan resisted the urge to cry. She pursed her lips and the smile on her face became more and more bitter. It was like this every time, when she needed him most, and he wasn't with her. And only when her heart was on the verge of dying did he say these words that were so intimate that it would make one's bones ache. If it was in the past, Zhan Yan would still surrender, but this time, she couldn't. She couldn't be that selfish, she still had someone to protect, she couldn't just watch as her father obediently stayed in the dark prison.
Ji Weiyang didn't want to lose her, but her father couldn't do so without her. Right now, the divorce agreement in her hands was the only thing that could save her father's life. Thinking to this point, she used all her strength to push him away.
”But I've had enough! Ji Weiyang, I have had enough of you and your old lover's entanglement, I have had enough of your 'luck' once a month, and I have also had enough of your deceit. ”
Ji Weiyang's pitch black eyes stared at her and too many complex emotions were hidden within. There was pain, astonishment, and even intense hatred in his eyes. He asked her to stay behind with such a low attitude, but what he received in return was her questioning.
”Ji Weiyang, back then, were you really married to me because of the 15% of the shares that grandmother left in the Ji's? Gao Yuxuan and Wei Shanshan had a secret affair, and did you really plan all of the deceit for the night after we got drunk? ” He still did not give up. She wanted to hear from his own mouth that everything Ji Weiyang had said was just nonsense, he had never lied to her before.
Ji Weiyang's tall and sturdy body sank into the soft leather sofa. He casually lit a cigarette, and a bright flame flickered between his two fingers.
His deep eyes revealed a frightening coldness, but the corners of his resolute lips were curled up evilly, ”Since you already know, there's nothing for me to hide.” ”Yes, I did.”
Even though he already knew the answer, when he heard it from his own mouth, Zhan Yan's heart still throbbed violently, and slowly sank to the bottom. Actually, this was fine as well. He could give up now.
”At that time, even though I held the position of Ji's's CEO, there are too many people eyeing me covetously. With that 15% of the shares, I would be able to secure my victory ticket. ”Actually, I can also play a roundabout love game with you, but I don't have that American time, it would be more effective if I just directly go there, wouldn't it?” His tone was teasing, with an indescribable charm, and when Zhan Yan heard these words, her voice was ear-piercing.
She wrapped her arms tightly around her body and trembled non-stop, ”Ji Weiyang, you're shameless.”
”You only know I'm shameless after sleeping with me for three years? ”You're really slow on the uptake.” Ji Weiyang snorted as he forcefully pressed the tip of his cigarette into the crystal ashtray. Perhaps it was because he had used too much strength, but the tip of the cigarette had been squeezed and deformed, and his two fingers also had an abnormal bluish-white color.
