"If you walk out of here tonight, Vuyo, it will be over between us." Her tone was as light as goose feathers, but each word was as heavy as gold.
Ji Weiyang looked at her deeply. His unfathomable eyes struggled for a short moment, but in the end, he still resolutely pushed her open and left.
Zhan Yan seemed to have lost all of her strength, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, the corners of her mouth raised into a bitter smile, and her tears of despair fell drop by drop onto the wooden floor, this time, they had finally reached the end.
She struggled up from the ground and walked to the window. Opening a corner of the curtain, she saw that Ji Weiyang's Range Rover had parted the night sky and slowly drove away from her line of sight.
The large villa was terrifyingly quiet. Zhan Yan ate almost half a box of sleeping pills before she managed to sleep, as only deep sleep could numb her aching nerves. In her sleep, however, her brow remained furrowed.
On the other side, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the empty and quiet long corridor of the hospital. Ji Weiyang arrived in front of the operation room, the light above his head was still lit, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
"Aunt, what's going on? Angie was fine when we parted in the afternoon. " Because he was in a hurry to run, his breath came in ragged pants.
Lu Manyun was already in tears. When she pushed open the bathroom door and saw Angel lying in a pool of blood, she was shocked. Although she wasn't her own daughter, she had raised her for so many years.
"Did you say something to her, Viyan?" She did not have any disease for the past few days, so why did he suddenly commit suicide by cutting off his wrist? " In the face of Lu Manyun's questioning, Ji Weiyang became silent. It must have been his rejection that forced Lu Anqi onto a dead end, he was too careless. Angel was a patient, how could he say those words to provoke her.
"Aunt, I'm sorry." The only thing he could say was this.
Lu Manyun did not blame him, but instead cried and begged, "Weiyang, Aunty has lived for most of her life, what is there to not understand? As a man, you want to have a normal family, you want to have a child of your own, and that's within reason, but Angie can't give it to you. "Aunty won't force anything, I just hope that you don't give up on Angel, you and I both know in our hearts that you are the only one for her now, if even you give up on her, then she won't be able to continue living, and this kind of thing will still happen again."
"Aunty, don't worry. I won't let this happen a second time." Ji Weiyang solemnly promised that if Lu Anqi really died because of him, he would be unable to rest at ease for the rest of his life. Just that, this meant that Lu Anqi and him would probably be entangled with each other for the rest of their lives, and to Zhan Yan, this was similarly unfair. Before long, the lights in the operation room went out. The doctor walked out from the operation room and Lu Manyun anxiously grabbed his hand, "Doctor, is my daughter alright?" The patient's wound isn't deep, but he has lost a lot of blood. Right now, there are no major injuries, so he will soon be transferred to the ordinary ward. " A professional statement from the doctor, and then he left.
Ji Weiyang stayed by the side of Lu Anqi's sickbed until she woke up. After crying in his arms for a while, he started to feel drowsy under the effects of the medicine. As he walked out of the room, he suddenly remembered that he had left Zhan Yan alone at home. He remembered that before he left, Zhan Yan left him with one last sentence: If you leave this place tonight, it would be the end of us. At that time, his mind was filled with thoughts of Lu Anqi slashing her own wrist and committing suicide, he had completely ignored Zhan Yan. Now that he thought of it, he started to panic.
Zhan Yan was a woman who kept her mouth shut. She had always talked very little, but the moment she said it, it showed that she had already made up her mind.
By the time Ji Weiyang rushed back to the villa on the mountain top, it was already dawn. He pushed open the door and entered the villa. It was deathly silent without any signs of life.
Inside the bedroom, Zhan Yan was quietly lying down on the soft bed, with a snow-white silk blanket covering her body, revealing only her pale white face and half of her neck. The current scene was extremely exquisite, like a beauty in bed waiting for the arrival of the prince. She walked in step by step, but became even more suspicious. Zhan Yan had always been a light sleeper, and the sound of his shoes hitting the floor was not soft, yet she did not react at all.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan Yan …" He called out softly a few times, but Zhan Yan did not show any signs of waking up. After that, Ji Weiyang saw the sleeping pill on the bedside table and immediately panicked.
"Yan Yan, wake up! Hurry up and wake up!" Ji Weiyang roared, he pulled away the blanket on her body, and was about to pick Zhan Yan up, but just at this time, Zhan Yan's eyelashes fluttered, and unexpectedly opened her eyes, her bright eyes were filled with drowsiness, and his brows were knitted slightly, as though he was about to wake up from his impatience.
"Ji Weiyang, what are you doing?" Zhan Yan sat up on the bed and looked at him coldly.
"Yan Yan, are you alright?" He looked at her, casually scanning the sleeping pills on the nightstand out of the corner of his eye.
In the end, Zhan Yan's gaze fell on the box of sleeping pills that was half consumed, and a cold smile appeared on her face. "Ji Weiyang, you think too much, I, Wei Zhanyan, disdain a drama of seeking death."
After she finished speaking, she got up from the bed and walked out while pulling his slippers. However, Ji Weiyang hugged her from behind, his arms wrapped tightly around her slender waist. Zhan Yan stopped in his tracks. She did not struggle, but turned around with a cold smile and looked straight at him with an unfamiliar and ice-cold gaze. "Ji Weiyang, I think I've already explained it clearly last night, and you've also made a choice. "Take some time, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and handle the formalities …"
"Howl …" Before she finished speaking, Ji Weiyang's lips had already fallen, sealing her unfinished words in her mouth. Zhan Yan still did not resist, she only opened her eyes wide and stared at him coldly.
Such a pair of cold eyes made Ji Weiyang feel inexplicably anxious. He finally let go of her, his hands tightly holding onto her shoulders as he smiled mockingly. "Yan Yan, it seems like you haven't learnt your lesson back then. Do you really think you can decide on the matter of divorce?"
Zhan Yan bit her lips, the tears in her eyes flickered, but stubbornly raised her head, unwilling to give in. "What if I insist on getting a divorce? Are you going to do the same thing again, threaten my father? Or do you want to continue with the torture of a car crash? " She shook her head with a wry smile, cold tears rolling down her cheeks.
Her slender fingers quickly flicked away the tears of despair. She proudly stretched out her palm, took off the diamond ring on her ring finger and put it on his palm.
"Ji Weiyang, acting twice for the same reason is boring."
Ji Weiyang was stunned on the spot, his back was ramrod straight, the quiet air was faintly filled with anger. He clenched his fist. The diamond ring on his palm was so thick that it hurt his skin, and even his heart.
"Yan Yan, did you know, this diamond ring, I personally went to Africa and personally saw how it was extracted from the depths of the mountains and then slowly ground into the shape of a snowflake in the hands of the designer? When I put it on your hand, I never thought that I would one day take it off." His words made Zhan Yan's heart suddenly throb in pain, tears once again blurred his eyes, "Weiyang, can you promise me that you won't see her again?"
Zhan Yan's voice seemed to carry a pleading tone, the last concession she was making, was to keep her lowly love.
Ji Weiyang looked at her, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head gravely: "Zhan Yan, I'm sorry."
Zhan Yan endured the tears from falling as she smiled mockingly. She felt that she was the greatest joke in the world, what right did she have to ask him like this, Lu Anqi was the woman he loved. However, since he could not let go of her beloved woman, why did he need to say these moving words to her? To him, just what was she? A boredom? Then isn't she too pathetic?
Zhan Yan staggered a step back, grabbed her bag, and walked out. However, he had her wrist held back.
"Where to?" "His voice is a bit cold." "At work." Zhan Yan said as she forcefully threw off his restraints and fled through the door.
She had to leave as soon as possible before the tears came. She did not want to shed a single tear in front of him. Love was gone, and all she had left was her pathetic self-esteem.
With a slam of the door, the room fell into a stifling silence.
He lit a cigarette and puffed out a few puffs of smoke. His eyes were focused on a single point, a deep and terrifying gaze. Angie Lu was his past. He could not shirk his responsibility. Even if Ji Weiyang was as rich as a kingdom, he could not change the past that had happened.
Perhaps it was because they had met too late. If the person he had first met was Zhan Yan, there would not be so much pain and twists between them! Right now, the only thing he could do was to use all of his strength to love and make up for Zhan Yan.
After extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, he dialed his assistant's number. "Hangzhou's schedule will be changed to one week, and I'll be free for five days after the contract is signed."
"But next week you have an important teleconference with Mr. Smith, and..."
The assistant reminded him, Ji Weiyang always had a packed schedule, he really wanted to give birth to forty-eight hours per day. Now that he was suddenly left empty-handed for five days, it was simply a fantasy story.
"Do as I say." Ji Weiyang straightforwardly gave the order, then hung up the phone. His work was too busy, to the point that he had neglected Zhan Yan. He wanted to take this opportunity to take a walk with Zhan Yan. After arranging her trip, he called Zhan Yan's hospital and asked for a leave of absence for her.
At this time, in the hospital, Zhan Yan had already changed into a set of blue aseptic surgical uniform. However, just before she entered the operation room, she was stopped by the Director, "Zhan Yan, the hospital has granted you half a month's leave. You can go home and rest now."
"What?" I didn't ask for a leave of absence. " Zhan Yan was confused. The director smiled and said, "Your family members helped you get the leave of absence. You can go back first. I've already arranged for Doctor Sun to undergo this operation."
"But I'm the patient's attending physician. I know the patient's situation best." Zhan Yan argued with reason, after all, life was not child's play. But the director didn't listen to her explanation and just pushed her out of the operating room. Because it was an order from the Principal, Zhan Yan changed into her surgical suit and directly went to the Principal's office.
"Hello, President Wang."
"Doctor Wei, please take a seat." Director Wang was full of smiles. His attitude was a bit too good to be true. Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary girl was the daughter-in-law of the General's Family.
"Dean, is there any misunderstanding regarding my leave of absence?" Zhan Yan asked straightforwardly.
"How could it be a misunderstanding? The call was just made by Director Ji himself. You and Director Ji should go have fun. Don't worry about the hospital, if half a month isn't enough, you can delay it. "
"Zhan Yan tensed up, her expression serious. Dean, I don't need a vacation, and I have a very important operation. I have to go to the operating room now. "
Dean Wang's face also changed. He patted his chest and gave Ji Weiyang a guarantee, he never thought that this girl would be so stubborn.
"You're not the only doctor in the hospital. You don't have to worry about the surgery. In short, I have already promised Director Ji that I will not arrange any work for you within half a month. "
There was no room for negotiation in his tone. After leaving the Principal's office, Zhan Yan sat outside of the operation room and waited. Not far away from her, the patient's husband paced back and forth anxiously. The patient was an elderly woman who was found to have uterine fibroids at 2 months of gestation. The condition was somewhat difficult and the operation carried a certain risk. After waiting for five hours, the operation still ended in failure. If this operation was done by Zhan Yan, he should have the confidence of being able to complete the eighth floor. Although Doctor Sun was experienced, he did not know much about the patient's condition, which was what Zhan Yan had been worrying about. However, the tragedy still happened. The patient was pregnant for ten months, and the child was not saved in the end. A hysterical cry came out from the ward, his husband pulled on Zhan Yan and questioned him angrily, "Didn't you say that everything would be fine after the operation? Why did you cut the uterus and my child was gone? "You bunch of quack doctors …" Zhan Yan lowered her head, unable to refute.
Doctor Sun walked over and comforted her. "Zhan Yan, don't worry. We have already tried our best." Zhan Yan struggled to move the corner of her mouth, but she did not even have a half-hearted smile.
"I'm a bit tired, so I'll go back first."
"En, don't think too much. Go back and rest."
Leaving the hospital, Zhan Yan immediately drove to Ji Weiyang's company. Ji Weiyang sat on the main seat, seriously listening to the Sales Director's research report. It was at this time that the door to the meeting room was pushed open with a bang, and Zhan Yan angrily stood outside the door. The executives in the room looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what had happened. Ji Weiyang's expression did not change as he put down the documents in his hands and instructed, "Today's matters will end here.
walked to his side and clenched his fists tightly. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Ji Weiyang, what qualifications do you have to make the Director stop my work? Do you know that a life is gone because of a decision you made? Third Young Master Ji, CEO Ji, could it be that you can casually trample over other people's lives from such a high vantage point? "
Ji Weiyang was silent, his gaze that was deep in comprehension was locked onto her body the entire time. After a long while, he got up and gently embraced her in his arms, "Yan Yan Yan, sorry, I never thought it would turn out like this." It was just like how he didn't expect that the situation between them would turn into this day. There were always people in this world, things that were not under their control. His humble apology actually made Zhan Yan speechless. She was passively held in his embrace, and her tears silently fell on his chest.
Ji Weiyang softly released her, his warm fingertips gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks. "Tomorrow, we will go to Hangzhou together, I will take you to relax, alright?"
Zhan Yan left his embrace, and used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on his face. Her clear eyes looked straight into his.
Ji Weiyang's gaze sunk slightly, his lips carrying a light smile, his arm around her waist once again, forcing Zhan Yan's body to smash into his chest. His voice carrying a bit of Evil Qi resounded above his head, "Maybe he will come back from his travels, I will consider the matter of the divorce."
Ji Weiyang could not tolerate other people rebelling against his decisions. He was still in a muddled state and had already pushed everyone onto the plane.
Zhan Yan sat in the first class seat and looked out of the window in a daze. The plane was speeding up on the runway and through the clouds, the scenery on the ground became smaller and smaller, just like a sand table model.
"We'll reach Hangzhou's Xiao Shan Airport in about two hours. You should get some sleep first." Ji Weiyang took off his suit jacket and covered her with it.
Zhan Yan nodded indifferently, leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes. She had been thinking about how to get Ji Weiyang to agree to a divorce. He hoped that when he returned from Hangzhou this time, he would be able to go through the divorce procedures with her as promised.
The two-hour journey did not seem long. The plane landed smoothly. Only, in the following two days, Zhan Yan barely saw any trace of Ji Weiyang. He seemed to really be very busy.
Zhan Yan locked herself in the hotel everyday. Besides eating and reading, she had nothing else to do.
This situation continued until the evening of the third day. She stood alone at the window in a daze. Outside the window was the western lake that was enveloped by the setting sun. Thunder peak and the setting sun illuminated everything within ten thousand miles. She was so beautiful that she did not seem like a human being.
A pair of sturdy arms silently wrapped around her waist from behind, faintly familiar with the aroma of tobacco enveloping Zhan Yan within. What are you looking at? " he asked.
Zhan Yan turned her head around, and what she saw was a handsome face. She naturally did not know that in order to spend more time with her, Ji Weiyang had worked continuously for two days and two nights, and had almost not slept at all.
"Lei Feng Sunset." She answered casually.
Ji Weiyang smiled warmly and held her soft, boneless hand. "I'll accompany you to the Western Lake to take a walk.
The two of them sat on a wooden chair by the edge of the West Lake. In front of them was a sparkling lake, and the reflection of the Thunder Peak Tower was faintly discernible in the lake light. In June, the West Lake responded to the phrase "the lotus leaves meet the sky endlessly". The fragrance of the lotus flowers mixed with the wind assaulted his nostrils.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a scenery like this. Yan Yan, let me take some time to walk around with you in the future, okay?" Ji Weiyang's palm covered the back of her hand.
Zhan Yan subconsciously struggled free, and slowly raised her eyes to look at him, but still remained silent. Ji Weiyang laughed warmly, he casually lit up a cigarette and gracefully smoked, frowning slightly as he looked at the other side, "Yan Yan Yan, how do you think we should be able to reach the other side unharmed?" Zhan Yan remained silent for a short while. She knew that Ji Weiyang was hinting at this.
"From the moment we set out, we are destined to be incomplete, so how can we be complete?"
Ji Weiyang did not say anything and continued to smoke with a frown until the end of the cigarette butt. His tall and big body leaned back on the chair, his gaze solemn and profound, as he grabbed onto Zhan Yan's small, soft and boneless hand with such force that she was not allowed to struggle free.
"Zhan Yan, if we were to sit here and watch it for thousands of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, would we be able to see the other shore as this?"
Zhan Yan smiled sarcastically, "Unfortunately, we don't have a few hundred million years of time. Perhaps, we won't even have a future."
"Zhan Yan, do you have to say these things that would ruin the scenery?" Ji Weiyang looked at her with a sad gaze, before saying word by word, "Zhan Yan, I won't divorce. "In a hundred years, our children will bury our ashes together. That way, we will have hundreds of millions of years to watch the sea wither and the rocks rot, and the seas change. One day, the other shore will become this shore."
His sweet words were pleasant to hear as usual, but Zhan Yan had had enough. She trusted him time and time again, but when she came out to hurt him, what did she get in return?
After a moment of silence, she opened his mouth once again, "Ji Weiyang, why don't we play a game? We can split up and walk in different directions, and if we can still meet each other before daybreak, we won't divorce."
When Ji Weiyang heard this, he could not help but laugh. He reached out to caress Zhan Yan's head, "For an adult to play with a child, you are really childish."
Zhan Yan pursed her lips without saying a word, and looked at him with eyes as cute and timid as a little white rabbit.
"Vuyo, you go left and I go right. Let's begin."
She got up and walked to the right. Ji Weiyang smiled as he watched her figure gradually disappear into the crowd. After that, he took out his phone and opened up his Positioning Navigation, and the slowly moving red dot on the screen was precisely where Zhan Yan was.
Because Ji Weiyang was busy most of the time, he rarely returned home, so he had people set up a satellite location on Zhan Yan's handphone. Whenever he worked late into the night, when he was exhausted, as long as he opened the navigation system and saw her home, he would feel warm and at ease. And all of these, Zhan Yan did not know.
On the other side, Zhan Yan had already reached the end of the broken bridge, and the sky gradually darkened. There were a lot of people swimming in the lake, and as long as they mixed into the crowd, she did not believe that Ji Weiyang could really find her. Step by step, she walked towards the broken bridge. The people she passed by were all in groups of two or three. This made her feel even more lonely in this foreign land.
The evening sky was still as clear as night, but after it was night, rain suddenly began to fall. Zhan Yan stood on the broken bridge and looked into the distance with a blank expression, allowing the fine rain to wet her clothes.
The crowd on the broken bridge gradually dispersed, but Zhan Yan still remained silent and did not move.
The rain got heavier and heavier, but the sky above her suddenly became clear. She slightly raised her face, and a dark yellow oil-paper umbrella appeared above her head. She held onto the handle of the umbrella with a clean and slender hand.
"It's raining but you don't know how to avoid it. What a silly girl." Ji Weiyang wrapped his jacket around her and hugged her together with his clothes, "Do you think we meet after the bridge?" Zhan Yan leaned her face against his chest and sighed softly. Was it fate? It was fated that she would not be able to get rid of him.
"Bai Suanzhen waited for Xu Xian for a thousand years, but Xu Xian still let her down. Ji Weiyang, will you let me down?" She lifted her chin, and her clear gaze fell into his eyes, which were deeper than the ocean.
Ji Weiyang looked back in silence, and then planted a deep kiss on her forehead with his cold and thin lips, "Yan Yan, I won't let you down."
However, Zhan Yan looked even worse than him. The snow-white skirt was stuck to her skin, and her exquisite body was faintly discernible. His jet-black hair was stuck to her pale face, and droplets of water could be seen dripping from his hair.
Ji Weiyang's eyes burned with flames that inched inch by inch. She was completely unable to shift his gaze away from's body, especially his chest, which was continuously undulating from his panting. His Adam's apple rolled, his arm was already wrapped around her waist that was not fit to be gripped tightly, the boiling heat of his body startled Zhan Yan, and she subconsciously reached out his hand to reject him, "I, I want to go take a bath." Ji Weiyang laughed sinisterly. She had lit a fire, how could he allow her to escape? He locked her in his arms, his hands inch-by-inch stroking the white and smooth skin of her face. "Yan Yan, are you hiding from me?" Zhan Yan pursed her lips, she knew that Ji Weiyang was doing it on purpose, "Ji Weiyang, I don't want to do this." She was constantly struggling in his embrace but Ji Weiyang's arms were getting tighter and tighter.
"But I want you, so, Yan Yan, should you do your duty as a wife? "Hmm?" With an evil smile, he picked her up and strode into the bedroom.
On the soft, wide bed, Ji Weiyang pressed Zhan Yan down below her.
Zhan Yan had been tensing up her body the entire time, her eyes flickering with glimmers of tears.
"Good Yan Yan, don't be nervous." His lips were pressed against Zhan Yan's ear, his deep voice was like a cello that was pleasant to the ears, carrying with it a bewitching charm.
