While Li Xiaoqian was meticulously scheming, Zhan Yan was still recuperating and drinking the nauseating Chinese medicine every day. She didn't even eat the cold food anymore, and continued to sleep on time every day, waking up on time and secretly reading some books on nurturing.

"Zhan Yan, can I come in?" Someone knocked on the bedroom door, and Wei Jingnian's voice came out.

At this time, Zhan Yan was sitting on the headboard, quickly stuffing the book under the blanket. "Dad, come in."

"Yan Yan, are you still awake?" Wei Jingnian walked in, holding a cup of warm milk.

"Thank you, Dad." Zhan Yan took the milk, drank two mouthfuls, and put it aside. The hand hidden under the blanket tightly clenched. She was a bit nervous, perhaps she was afraid of being a thief. She had been trembling with fear ever since, afraid that her parents would discover that she wanted to take the risk of having a child.

"Sleep early after you finish your milk. Don't always lie on the bed and read. It's not good for your eyes." Wei Jingnian spoke a few more words.

Zhan Yan nodded warmly as she watched her leave.

After Wei Jingnian left, Zhan Yan heaved a sigh of relief, she drank some milk, and just as she was about to lie down and sleep, the phone on the bedside table rang. She could recognize the number, it was Ji Family Villa's number.

Zhan Yan pressed the answer button hesitantly. General Ji's voice came out from the other end of the phone.

"It's already so late, I don't know if I'm disturbing your rest."

"No. "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhan Yan asked, puzzled.

There was a brief hesitation on the other end of the phone, then she said: "Zhan Yan, tomorrow is Manyun's birthday, she's not having a good time there. I hope you can go and see her, she should be happy to see you."

Zhan Yan did not reply immediately. She pursed her lips, and with a calm expression, she remained silent for a while, before hesitating and nodding her head, "Okay. "I will."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Bocheng pressed on the bridge of his nose that was hurting. Just as he was about to take up his tea cup, someone knocked on the door. "Come in."

The door opened, and Ji Weixin walked in, "Dad, you were looking for me."

"Sit down." Ji Bocheng pointed to a spot at the side, then asked, "Have you still not contacted Baelin yet?"

"We have confirmed that he is at the South Pole, but it will take some time to get in touch." Ji Weixin replied.

"Yes." Ji Bocheng frowned, but at the same time, he felt displeased. After all these years of running around the world, Fourth Bro no longer had this home in his heart. It would not be easy to get him to come back and get married. None of these children could make him relax.

I have two boxes of Pu'er and a piece of Ginseng in my bedroom. You can bring them to Wei Jingnian together and tell him that I will visit him when I have time again. "

The treasures collected by the General Ji were naturally all priceless treasures. The reason he was doing this was clearly for the sake of the Wei Family s people, as he wanted to ease the relationship between the two families.

Ji Weixin respectfully nodded his head, it was as if his father's decision was not out of his expectations. Since he was young, Ji Weiyang had never been able to get what he wanted. After tormenting himself for so long, Ji Bocheng finally came to a compromise. However, there were some things that Ji Weixin had to say.

"Father, even though Weiyang and Zhan Yan are deeply in love, Zhan Yan cannot have children after all. Could it be that you are willing to let Weiyang live a childless life?"

Ji Bocheng's arm that was holding the tea cup slightly trembled, and sighed, "I know that Wei Yang has been playing a dirty trick on me, but what else can I do? For a woman, Wei Yang has been tormented over and over again, and if I don't agree, he will definitely not let it go, and in the end it became even worse, and he can't be forced to break off all relations with his family, right?"

Ji Bocheng's intentions were clear. Rather than letting Wei Zhanyan kidnap her, it would be better to follow their wishes.

"But the matter of the child …" Ji Weixin still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Bocheng with a raise of his hand.

"No one said that Zhan Yan could not bear children. It was just that she had to take some risks. Viyan gave so much for her that if she wants to be with him, she naturally has to take some risks. "

Ji Bocheng had already made his decision, so of course Ji Weixin couldn't say anything more. He stood up and prepared to leave, but before he could step out of the door, he heard Ji Bocheng's cold voice come from behind him, "Weixin, you're the boss, you should know your limits. You are a person who has a family and a wife and daughter. Therefore, as for Du Xiaomo, you have to take care of him as soon as possible. This is the last time I'll warn you. "

Ji Weixin was silent for a moment, then replied indifferently, "Alright."

The next day, when Ji Weixin went to visit with his Wei Family, he did not see Zhan Yan at all, because she had already gone to the prison where Lu Manyun was imprisoned.

Separated by a thick glass wall, Zhan Yan sat outside, and while Lu Manyun sat inside, they could only communicate through the phone. Lu Ruping's hand was tightly pressed against the thick glass. Although she was unable to touch her daughter, to be able to look at her like this, to see her indifferent face, to the corner of her smiling lips, Lu Manyun was already satisfied.

"You have lost a lot of weight." Zhan Yan hesitated and took the lead to speak.

Lu Manyun laughed, this kind of place was transformed, it was not a place for one to enjoy bliss, of course they would not get fat. I'm fine, but you still don't look too good. "

"I'm fine too, don't worry." Zhan Yan replied warmly.

Lu Manyun nodded, she knew Ji Weiyang would definitely take good care of him.

"You and Viyan are back together. It's good, it's not easy for a woman to find a man who truly loves you in her lifetime. Vayon is someone worth entrusting his life to. "

Zhan Yan lowered her head, a trace of emotion in his eyes. However, I was not destined to be a good wife. This body was simply too terrible, and even if I could sit here today, there was no guarantee that I would be able to open my eyes and see the morning sun rise. I'm not worthy of him at all. "

Her words made Lu Manyun's heart ache. At this moment, she really wanted to break free from this cage and give Zhan Yan a warm hug. Silly boy, don't talk nonsense. "Even if it's for Weiyang's sake, you still have to live well."

Only when a person was worried about something would they be brave enough to continue living, regardless of the consequences.

Zhan Yan sighed, nodded, and shook her head. At this moment, she was truly conflicted. Or perhaps, she had always been contradictory and uneasy. She wanted desperately to talk to someone, but no, she didn't know who to talk to. But at this moment, she realized that she actually trusted Lu Manyun with all of her heart.

"Most of the time, I've been thinking, does it really make sense for me to be alive? There was nothing I could do but drag Viyan down. I'm a big problem for Viyan, and maybe one day he'll get tired and get tired of me. "

Lu Manyun shook her head and laughed bitterly. Even she, who was an outsider, could clearly see what Ji Weiyang was thinking.

"Bo Cheng came to see me two days ago, so I have a rough idea of what Viyan has been up to recently. He did so much for you. I think you must have been touched by him. If it was me, I would be touched as well. However, Zhan Yan, have you ever thought about why he would go against his father and even abandon the clan? "

"He wants to be with me." Zhan Yan said softly. The answer was obvious.

"Yeah, he wants to be with you. When one loves another, one wants to be with her forever. Zhan Yan, you have been running away from him for so long. You think that leaving him and not dragging him down is the best thing for him. But, have you ever thought about what Viyan needs? What he wants is to be with you. As long as you are by her side, he will be able to see you every day when you open your eyes. And your evasion, your rejection, has only hurt him. "

Zhan Yan listened to Lu Manyun quietly as she held the receiver tighter in her hand. Undoubtedly, Lu Manyun's words gave her unprecedented encouragement. At this moment, she suddenly realized how pale and laughable her previous escape had been. From the very beginning, she should have faced all the storms together with him, instead of letting him bear all the hardships alone. She deserved to die.

"Thank you. I know what I should do." Zhan Yan smiled as she looked at Lu Manyun.

"Silly girl, what's there to thank me for? I'm your mother." The moment Lu Manyun said this, the atmosphere became tense again. After all, she was still a mother that was not accepted by Zhan Yan. She did not blame her. She had done too many things to hurt Zhan Yan.

"Sorry, I was wrong, don't take it to heart. Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't think I'm your biological mother. It's fine if we're friends, but when you're free, come visit me. We can chat. " Lu Manyun anxiously wanted to salvage the situation.

Zhan Yan pursed her lips, and then spoke again after a long while, "I'm sorry, I still need some time."

Lu Manyun nodded strongly, but her eyes were filled with tears. Actually, she really wanted to ask: Why can't you forgive Lu Ruping, and me?

In the end, however, she did not ask. Because, she knew Zhan Yan's answer. It was because she was her biological mother and Lu Ruping wasn't.

Zhan Yan could easily forgive Lu Ruping's fault, but he could not let her go. Perhaps she had waited for too long, hoping too much that her injuries would become more painful.

"I … It's time for me to leave. I'll come see you again next time. You need to take care of your body." Zhan Yan put down the phone and slowly stood up. When she was talking with Lu Manyun, she had always been using respectful language, so polite to the point that she was a little unfamiliar with him.

Lu Manyun nodded and watched her leave with tears in her eyes. Then, the two prison guards behind her handcuffed her and brought her back.

When Zhan Yan walked out of the prison, a light drizzle fell from the sky.

The sky was dark and gloomy, causing one's heart to feel somewhat stifled. Prison was a desolate place. It always gave people a creepy feeling.

Zhan Yan stepped on her high heels and quickly walked towards the place where the car was parked. But at this moment, the car door opened, and a tall man walked out of it with quick steps. The plaid umbrella he held covered his face, but his straight figure that looked like a pine tree, how could Zhan Yan make a mistake?

"Vuyo?" she exclaimed.

In the next moment, Ji Weiyang was already in front of her, extending his arm and pulling her into his embrace. Didn't you see the weather forecast when you went out? It's raining heavily today, and the temperature is dropping. If you come out wearing only this bit of clothes, you'd better be careful of catching a cold. "

As he spoke, he had already taken off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her body. Zhan Yan smiled and leaned into his embrace, her body soft and cold.

It was drizzling and the soil was exuding a faint sense of freshness. The hair on Zhan Yan's forehead was drenched from the rain, lightly sticking to her forehead. Her small face, which was as pale as snow, was slightly raised, as her clear eyes blinked as she stared at him, as if she was talking about the water demon in her lair.

Ji Weiyang allowed her to hold the umbrella, then forcefully carried her.

Just then, the driver had already arrived beside the two of them. Ji Weiyang carried her into the car and drove away.

He sat in the back beside her, and she gently rested her head on his shoulder. She asked lightly, "Why are you here?"

"I wasn't too busy this morning, so I came to pick you up." Ji Weiyang replied casually. Knowing that Zhan Yan came to see Lu Manyun, and that he had rushed over almost immediately, Zhan Yan could not be agitated, but the moment she saw Lu Manyun, she would inevitably lose control.

She seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Viyan, I'm not as fragile as you think. "

Ji Weiyang smiled and hugged her in his embrace, lovingly stroking her slightly wet long hair, "What did he say?"

Zhan Yan blinked her clear and innocent eyes, and honestly replied: "I'm talking about you."

Ji Weiyang laughed, "What do I have to say for myself?"

"She asked if you bullied me." As Zhan Yan spoke, he casually played with his fingers.

"Then what do you say?"

"Of course." Zhan Yan smiled playfully.

Ji Weiyang hugged her, and put his lips next to her ear, as he dubiously said, "Then did you tell her how I 'bullied' you, hm?"

Zhan Yan's face reddened, and she subconsciously looked at the driver in front of her, before punching him in the chest, "Ji Weiyang, can't you be more serious."

Ji Weiyang laughed sinisterly, and gently embraced her in his arms.

Zhan Yan rested her head against his shoulder lightly, but her eyes were slightly shaking with bitterness. "She's not doing well, she's become a lot skinnier."

Ji Weiyang's fingertip gently penetrated her soft hair, and sighed inaudibly, "How can staying inside can be good? But you don't have to worry too much, in two years, it will be released. With my dad there, the people inside won't make things difficult for her."

Zhan Yan became silent, the car continued to drive straight into the city, the scenery on both sides of the road slowly changed from empty to bustling.

After a long silence, she spoke again. "She said you were someone worth entrusting."

Ji Weiyang looked at her gently and smiled playfully, "She has good eyes."

Zhan Yan raised her head to meet his gaze, a faint light flowing within her eyes. "But I can't be a good wife."

His expression was slightly warm, and there was an extra trace of love on his face. "Yan Yan, you've always been doing very well." The one that wasn't good had always been him.

"Yan Yan, don't think about anything from now on. Your future is mine, I will learn how to be a good husband, cherish you, take care of you, make you the happiest woman in the world."

Zhan Yan did not answer, but used her soft arms to tightly embrace his waist, and completely buried herself in his chest. Zhan Yan thought, she was already the happiest woman in the world.

In fact, her happiness was so great that it made her feel unreal.

The journey back to the city from the prison took nearly two hours. The sky was still cloudy. Rain was falling on the window, making a slight rustling sound. Zhan Yan leaned into Ji Weiyang who was in her arms. Blinking his eyelashes, he looked out the window in a daze.

When the car drove past the park, the bright yellow peach blossoms had already bloomed, and the rain outside the window was exceptionally beautiful. Zhan Yan suddenly thought of the winter when she was lying in the hospital. Her only wish was to see the peach blossoms this spring.

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Weiyang's voice was lazy as his fingertips carelessly twined around her hair.

Zhan Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, she did not look away from the window. Outside the window, spring had passed, flowers had bloomed and fallen, but there seemed to be nothing in this world that could last for long, including life, including … Love.

Ji Weiyang's love came in a blazing and profound manner, but no one could guarantee that this love would not disappear completely in the future. After all, his life was still very long.

"Vuyo, if one day you don't love me, you must tell me."

Ji Weiyang laughed, the arm around her waist suddenly tightened up, "Alright, I truly look forward to that day."

It would have been great if he didn't love her. He didn't have to cry for her, laugh for her, frown at her and sleep all night long. This feeling wasn't good, he felt like he wasn't himself anymore.

Maybe love had a date, but it wasn't love he felt for her, it was love he felt for her.

After entering the city, the car got faster and faster. When he passed by the bustling business district, a familiar figure quickly flashed past the window.

She leaned on the window, and when she looked again, there were crowds of people outside the car, the colorful umbrellas were blurred, but she could no longer find the figure, Zhan Yan rubbed her eyes, could she have seen wrongly?

But the figure that flashed past, was clearly Lu Anqi!
