The morning sun shone through the open window, casting warm specks of light. Mu Wanqing sat lazily on a soft chair by the window as she patiently listened to Shen Mengyun's call. The bright sunlight shone on her thick and silky hair, causing it to glow with a golden light. Her face was half-covered by her long hair, and only her exquisite chin and beautiful side profile could be seen.
"Wanqing, um…you're getting discharged today, right? Is Qin Tian picking you up from the hospital?"
"Please, Miss Shen, you've already asked many times.”Mu Wanqing rubbed her temples, not knowing whether to laugh or cry." Alright, let's get to the point."”
Mu Wanqing knew Shen Mengyun's personality all too well. As long as it was something that Shen Mengyun was embarrassed to talk about, she would always beat around the bush before going straight to the point.
Shen Mengyun laughed dryly on the phone and said impatiently,""Wanqing, you also know that our Cheng Cheng was exploited by your Qin Tian. There are only a few days in a month where you can accompany me.”
"Stop. Stop. Shen Mengyun, you must have gotten the household register wrong."”Mu Wanqing pretended to be angry and corrected him.
"Oh, right. He was exploited by Qin Tian, the big capitalist, until he didn't have a vacation.”
"Get to the point." Mu Wanqing dragged her words.
"The point is that Wang Cheng can rest for half a day this afternoon. We want to go to the movies and then go shopping. I promised to take you out of the hospital, but…can I visit you later?”
"I see. Alright, seeing that someone is willing to suffer in my place as your personal attendant, I'll approve it.”
"Wanqing, what time will Qin Tian pick you up?”
"He called just now and said that he'll be here after he's done with his work. He'll probably be here in the afternoon.”
"Oh, I see. Then I'll call you later."
……
After hanging up the phone, Mu Wanqing caught a glimpse of the water dripping Guanyin placed by the window. There was a drop of crystal water on the tip of the huge emerald green leaf. It reflected the colorful light in the sunlight and looked like a drop of water.
The Waterdrop Guanyin was brought by Qin Tian. No matter when, this man would always make people marvel at his gentleness and thoughtfulness.
Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing her sweet dimples. She got up and stretched. Seeing that the weather was good, she decided to go out for a walk.
This was the most prestigious hospital in the city, so the medical standards and the green environment were naturally self-evident. Mu Wanqing walked out of the hospital building and saw a few lilac trees in the distance. From afar, they looked like Christmas trees covered in sparkling snowflakes, holy and alluring. The flourishing trees immediately filled Mu Wanqing's heart with excitement. She quickened her pace towards the lilac trees.
Mu Wanqing took a closer look at the lilac trees. The layers of flower spikes were made up of delicate little flowers. Each flower had four water-drop shaped petals. Surrounded by the green leaves, it looked beautiful and elegant.
This scene made Mu Wanqing's heart feel peaceful. She couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath. She felt like she was in a dream-like sea of fragrance. As the wind blew, the fragrance was sent far away.
Mu Wanqing sat under the lilac tree with her eyes closed, enjoying the peace in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt a figure moving in front of her. Mu Wanqing hurriedly opened her eyes. The next second, the person who had once haunted her appeared in her eyes.
Mu Wanqing looked at Han Dong. The last time she saw him was at the airport, and it had been less than half a month, yet Han Dong looked even thinner. His hair was a little shorter, giving people a more direct impression of being capable. However, there was an indescribable melancholy between his brows. His cheeks were slightly sunken, making his already thin face look even more determined. There was a faint green stubble on his chin, and he looked dispirited and sleepy. He was wearing a black shirt, which made his figure look even thinner and slender. When Mu Wanqing's gaze landed on him, she felt pity and pity for him.
"Are you alright?" Han Dong said indifferently, the expression on his face a little uncomfortable.
"It's alright." Mu Wanqing slowly raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her head.
All along, Mu Wanqing felt that she hated him enough. However, at this moment, this person was so close to him. Why could he still be so calm? Even his tone was neither light nor heavy.
"Here…are you sick?”Han Dong looked deeply at Mu Wanqing.
"Uh…small problem. He can be discharged now." Although Mu Wanqing had also guessed the possibility of the other party appearing here, it was not appropriate to ask since they were strangers.
"Do you…still hate me?”Her lips, which were as thin as a blade, were pursed tightly.
"Hate you?" Mu Wanqing smiled bitterly and said coldly," I don't hate you anymore.”
" As expected, the reason you don't hate me now is because of him…" Han Dong's voice was tinged with helplessness.
"What are you talking about!" For some reason, seeing him like this, Mu Wanqing's heart was filled with anger. "You are the one who chose to leave. You are the one who chose others. But in the end, you appeared with such an affectionate and unrepentant look, trying to label me as 'betrayal'. I don't owe you anything!"
"If I had chosen to leave you back then, would you have given me a chance to explain?”Han Dong's eyes were burning with hope, and his voice was tinged with excitement.
"Is it because you have no choice?" Mu Wanqing raised her voice by a notch and her voice started to tremble," Even if you have great difficulties, do you think you can hurt me so badly?”
"Back then, I let you down and made you wish you were dead. I know that you hate me and resent me. I won't and won't have any complaints! I don't dare to expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you can listen to my explanation now. I will do my best to heal the pain I have caused you. Since your pain started because of me, then I will definitely let it end because of me! Your happiness should be protected by me, not by others!”
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing looked at Han Dong's cold gaze in shock. After a long while, she lowered her eyes and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
This man was as domineering as ever. Back then, she had fallen in love with him wholeheartedly because she was infatuated with this kind of aura that was like a raging sea. He was talented and ambitious.
"You are still you, but I am no longer me. Thank you, Han Dong. You accelerated my growth." Mu Wanqing looked past Han Dong and focused on an unknown corner behind him.
"You love him? And now, you're so stingy that you don't even give me a chance to explain.”Han Dong's voice could not help but grow colder.
"Han Dong, you're too full of yourself.”Mu Wanqing raised her eyes and sneered," If your explanation was like when we broke up, perhaps I would listen. Listening to your explanation now is just a waste of our time.”
Han Dong looked at Mu Wanqing in surprise.
Was this sharp and incisive woman in front of him still the calm and collected Mu Wanqing that he knew?
"Alright. I still have things to do. I'll leave first. Goodbye." Mu Wanqing pursed her lips and turned to leave.
" Mu Wanqing, you…" Han Dong stepped forward and pulled her over, his palm tightly gripping her shoulders.
"Let go!" Mu Wanqing glared at Han Dong with slight anger.
" Wanqing…Are you trying to drive me crazy…?" Han Dong bellowed in a low voice.
His slightly red eyes were covered with a thick layer of sadness that could not be dispelled. Mu Wanqing suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
Han Dong let go of Mu Wanqing's hand and leaned his head against the thick tree trunk. His eyes were closed weakly, and his face was filled with indescribable fatigue and worry.
" My mother has late-stage liver cancer…" After a long while, the two words that sounded like ravings spilled out from Han Dong's pale and thin lips, trembling slightly.
Hearing this, Mu Wanqing's nose turned sour and a warm look appeared in her eyes.
Mu Wanqing remembered the first time she went to the Han family's house. Even though she had never met her before, she immediately fell in love with the gentle and elegant Mother Han in front of her. The two of them soon started chatting. After that, every time she went, Mother Han would always cook delicious food for her. Thus, Mu Wanqing naturally had a good impression and respect for this elder.
"Now, I have to rely on a large amount of medicine every day to maintain it. You know, although my income is not bad, I still can't maintain the daily supply of these expensive imported drugs. I only have this one relative, so I can only choose to leave you to carry out this transaction.”
Han Dong muttered in pain, his eyes turning a faint green, his handsome brows furrowed slightly in a tangled manner, and his haggard face made Mu Wanqing's heart ache even more.
Suddenly, Mu Wanqing's heart was filled with endless sorrow. She thought of a question that many people avoided. If your wife and your mother fell into the river together, which one would you save first if you could only save one?
It seemed that saving either side first would incur criticism. Perhaps there was no answer to this question. On one side was the love of her life, while on the other side was a love that was hard to repay. If one day she was truly placed in such a situation, Mu Wanqing didn't know how to choose. This was probably a cruel and helpless joke given to people by the heavens.
"Can you go and see my mom? She's been nagging about wanting to see you all day." Han Dong looked at Mu Wanqing, his voice sounding dry and weary.
"Alright." Mu Wanqing's eyes reddened.
……
Mu Wanqing walked back to the ward with heavy steps, her heart in a mess. At this moment, the phone rang. She took out her phone and answered the call.
"Hello, Wanqing, I've finished dealing with the matter at hand. I'll go and pick you up now." On the phone, Qin Tian's tone had a strange gentleness, but it also contained a hint of nervousness.
"Oh, I see. No need. Just now, a friend of mine helped me with the discharge procedures. Thank you." Mu Wanqing's tone was filled with unconcealable panic.
"Oh, alright then. Take care of yourself. Call me when you get home."
……
Qin Tian closed his phone and watched Mu Wanqing enter the hospital building. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
Since it was handled more smoothly than expected, he settled the matter at hand early. He didn't call Mu Wanqing and went to the hospital to surprise her. When he was about to reach the hospital building, he saw Mu Wanqing walking out. As such, he tailed her, but before he could even get close, Han Dong appeared.
Hence, at a place not far from them, Qin Tian quietly looked at those two people. When Mu Wanqing returned, he called her and decided to take her out of the hospital. He only wanted to protect her.
For the first time, he realized that he could become selfish and stubborn when he fell in love with someone.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
