Looking at Bai Weijin, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger, Chu Jiran felt warm-hearted and sweet, with an indescribable happiness.
‘Even if… just for an accident, can I be with her?’
Feeling Chu Jiran’s scorching eyes, Bai Weijin raised her head curiously and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong? Is there anything?”
“No… nothing really.” Chu Jiran replied subconsciously, “I just feel… it’s not bad to have such days occasionally.”
At least the days were quiet and undisturbed.
‘Not bad…?’ Bai Weijin ruminated these two words. It was true in terms of the ease of life.
‘But… why does my heart seem to be empty?’
The two were silent, however, one was happy and the other was speechless.
“Plink.” The ringtone of the cell phone rang rapidly. Chu Jiran took out his phone blankly. Chu Jiran had specifically told his staff not to disturb him no matter what happened.
But what was the matter with this phone call?
An ineffable foreboding hovered in Chu Jiran’s mind. He subconsciously walked to the corridor to answer the phone, and didn’t want anyone to interrupt him.
“Hello, who is calling?”
“Is this Mr. Chu Jiran? I’m the attending doctor of Gu Yeyu. She is now suffering from esophageal infection and is facing life danger. Please come to the hospital soon.”
“Beep sound.”
Perhaps the situation was so urgent that the doctor hung up in a hurry before he could say a few more words, leaving Chu Jiran no time to respond.
Chu Jiran listened to the busy tone on the phone and stood stiffly in situ. Gu Yeyu… a familiar and unfamiliar name.
If Bai Weijin was the beloved one to Chu Jiran.
Then Gu Yeyu was the elusive one to Chu Jiran.
Every time Chu Jiran thought of Gu Yeyu, he felt painful. After all, Gu Yeyu became what she was now just for saving him. How could Chu Jiran feel comfortable.
Chu Jiran went back to the ward in a muddle-headed manner. Bai Weijin saw Chu Jiran who was at a lost, then she asked with some worry, “Jiran, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. It is just that something happened at home which needs me to go back and deal with.”
It was the first time that Chu Jiran lied to Bai Weijin.
With some guilty, Chu Jiran looked away and lowered his head unconsciously. Chu Jiran was like a kid who did something wrong.
How could the sharp-eyed Bai Weijin not see through Chu Jiran’s lie. She just didn’t want to serve him up on a silver platter, or rather, she was not willing to do so.
“Ok. If you have something to deal with, then you can go. I have doctors and nurses to take care of me here, so you don’t need to worry about me.”
With Bai Weijin’s permission, Chu Jiran left the ward with some relief. He started to run wildly where Bai Weijin could not see him.
‘Yeyu, please wait for me. Don’t have any trouble.’
When Chu Jiran stepped into Gu Yeyu’s ward, the atmosphere in the ward became very strange. Because the whole ward was full of Gu’s family members.
Gu Yeze, Gu Tianyi, Lin Sijiao…
At the sight of Chu Jiran, Gu Yeze’s eyes suddenly became sharp and he asked coldly, “What are you doing here? We are not welcoming you.”
Since the Bai Weijin’s incident, the Chu’s family had cut off contact with the Gu’s family. But it was just that… the Gu’s family still might don’t know that Gu Yeyu go into a vegetative state for saving Chu Jiran.
“I… I come here…” Chu Jiran prevaricated and didn’t know what to explain. He just sometimes looked at Gu Yeyu who was lying on the bed.
Chu Jiran really couldn’t say it. He was about to go abroad soon, but he was still involved with Gu Yeyu.
It seemed that Gu Yeyu felt her sweetheart who she hadn’t seen for a long time had come to visit her. Because the frequency of Gu Yeyu’s heart beating had suddenly increased a lot, as if she was welcoming Chu Jiran.
It would be difficult for Gu Yeze not to notice such an obvious change.
Gu Yeze asked Chu Jiran with some incredible tone.
“Wouldn’t it… because of you that Gu Yeyu became like this?”
Chu Jiran clenched his fists, with a strong sense of shame around his heart. He didn’t dare to answer the question of Gu Yeze squarely and just buried his head lower.
How could someone as smart as Gu Yeze not know that Chu Jiran’s silence was his acquiescence. With a “bang”, the last string named “reason” completely broke in Gu Yeze’s mind.
“Chu Jiran!”
Gu Yeze dashed forward, picked up Chu Jiran’s collar and growled from time to time, as if he was going to break Chu Jiram’s neck.
‘Forget it that you defiled my woman! Now you should dare to take advantage of my sister!’
It was known to all that Gu Yeze cared most about Gu Yeyu! How could Gu Yeze let Chu Jiran go now?
The sudden outburst of roar frightened the couple who had just returned home. Even Gu Tianyi was a little surprised. He had never seen his son so rude.
Was it because of that pregnant woman?
Even though Gu Tianyi had millions of doubts in his hearts, he still came out to stop this boring farce.
“What are you doing? Do you have any idea what the consequences are?”
“Yeze, wake up!”
Gu Tianyi’s words awakened Gu Yeze, the dreamer.
Gu Yeze pressed his lips tightly, and finally put down his hand maliciously. Even if Gu Yeze had a quarrel with Chu Jiran now, he couldn’t hit Chu Jiran.
This was the unspoken rule between them.
“Chu Jiran, I warn you,” Gu Yeze commanded coldly, “You are a man! Men must have their own responsibilities!”
“Three days later, you must give me a satisfactory answer!”
“Both Gu Yeyu and Bai Weijin.”
After speaking, Gu Yeze ignored Chu Jiran, turned his head, and left here, leaving behind the silent Chu Jiran and the two old couple with bewildered faces.
What was happening here?
Facing the puzzled eyes of Gu Yeze’s parents, Chu Jiran didn’t say anything. But he knew it well that he had to choose between Bai Weijin and Gu Yeyu.
Going abroad or staying at home.
Both of Bai Weijin and Gu Yeyu were someone that Chu Jiran couldn’t give up so easily. No matter what decision he made, he would deeply hurt one of them.
After giving a deep stare at the pale Gu Yeyu lying in the ward, Chu Jiran turned and left. He needed a little time to make this hard decision.
Meanwhile, Tan Xin was already sitting on a plane to a foreign country. Tan Xin looked into the distance blankly, as if she was deeply hurt by Gu Yeze’s ruthlessness.
Finally, Tan Xin concentrated her eyes and showed an unprecedented determined look.
‘Gu Yeze, you can only marry me in this life!’
‘I will come back definitely.’
