"Why haven't you rested yet? There was something that happened just now, so I went out to rest." Han Rui's tone was full of guilt. He didn't know how to explain his previous whereabouts to her.
"Mm, I understand. You left without saying anything just now. I was worried that something might have happened, so I didn't sleep." Xu Muyun knew where he had gone. It was just a date with his old lover, she understood.
Without taking off his clothes, he laid his head on the bed and fell asleep immediately. Xu Muyun, who had her back facing him, smelt a trace of something that did not belong to her, let alone the fragrance on his body. This situation was exactly what those women described as an afterthought syndrome!
She smiled wryly as she closed her eyes. She already had a home and a place to settle down. What else was there to ask for? Even though her husband didn't love her, he was extremely protective of her. Even if it was just because of her responsibility, wasn't she also deeply in love with another man?
Words could not replace the feelings in her heart, she had to admit that when she saw him together with Shen Chen, her heart was still bleeding from the pain, but she had no way of healing the wound.
In the morning, when the sky was bright, Han Rui's phone in his pocket rang. He thought he heard a sound, but subconsciously didn't want to pick it up. He turned his body and continued sleeping by Xu Muyun's waist.
However, the phone did not stop ringing. Instead, it rang even more urgently. After the bell rang for a long time, Xu Muyun pushed the man who was hugging her, waking him up.
"Your phone is here. It's been ringing for a long time, is there something urgent? Answer it."
Han Rui opened his eyes and looked at the sky. It was already dawn. It seemed like he was too tired from sleeping for so long yesterday, and he had unknowingly slept for so long. He rubbed his sore eyes and heard his phone ring.
He hung up the phone, but then it rang again. He suddenly remembered that it might be a call from Ye Lan's resident doctor. He immediately sobered up, afraid that Xu Muyun would misunderstand and went outside to answer the call.
"Hello, hello."
"Han Rui, is that you?" I'm Ye Lan, I'm in the hospital. The doctor here said that I'm poisoned by gas, how could I be poisoned by gas? "Come quickly, I don't want to stay here. It's so scary here, I'm the only one in the entire room, so scary!"
Han Rui looked at his phone and confirmed that the voice was Ye Lan's, but he felt that her words were a bit strange. He was stunned and didn't reply for a long time.
Ye Lan seemed to be very anxious, "Han Rui, are you listening? "Where the hell are you? Hurry up and come and pick me up. If you don't come, then I'll just go back to Half Water Bay myself. I don't know what you're busy with all day, really."
She hung up the phone, causing Han Rui to be speechless. Half Water Bay was the house she lived in four years ago, and in the past few years, the other side had been confined to the economic zone. Since she moved to the city, she hadn't returned, so she mentioned going back there, and she didn't seem to remember that she turned on the gas to kill herself.
He always wanted to go see her. Xu Muyun had already got up from the bed, and little Lucy was playing by her feet. Seeing him come in, Xu Muyun's smile froze, pretending to hug the little dog and tease it.
Han Rui took out a bank card and a stack of cash from his wallet and put it on the bedside: "Xiao Yun, I have some matters to take care of at the company, you can go down to eat breakfast later, I've left the money here. If you want to go out shopping, you can use this card, the password is 224593.
Then, he picked up his phone and was about to leave when Xu Muyun called out to him, "Wait a moment."
Han Rui turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?" What's the matter? "
Xu Muyun knew very well that she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. She changed the topic: "Nothing, your shirt is too wrinkled, let's change to another one!"
Han Rui lowered his head and looked at himself. He was truly in a sorry state, so he took out a new set of clothes from the closet and changed. Xu Muyun smiled bitterly in her heart. She was probably the most generous person in the world. Her husband wanted to go on a date with someone else, but she actually kindly reminded him that his clothes were untidy. This was the rhythm of pushing her husband to be a mistress!
Looking at his back as he hurried away, she forced a smile and pointed at his nose. "We're the best. We're both stupid and unscrupulous. We'll be the two of us from now on, okay?"
Lucky seemed to have understood the pain in her heart, and wagged its tail at her affectionately. It whined twice in agreement, and its round face even revealed a small expression of grievance. It truly adorned her heart.
In the cold room, there was no sign of life, only this pitiful little girl sighing by herself. As Xu Muyun sat there, she started to feel sleepy, so she lay on the bed and unknowingly fell asleep again.
Lucky, who had been hanging around her, now lying on her stomach, now rolling on the bed, wanted to go down to the floor and have a good time, but the height of the bed intimidated its short legs, and finally it whimpered and gave up.
It was only when Han Qizheng arrived that he finally rescued the wolf who thirsted for freedom. Carrying it out of the bedroom, he let Xu Muyun have a good rest.
When Han Rui rushed to the hospital, Ye Lan was still sleeping. The doctor told him that she was too agitated and had just taken a sedative, so he was sitting in front of her bed, looking at her with a complicated expression.
In the past, he had wanted to ignore everything and stay with her, but she had betrayed their love. Now, she wanted to use this way to end his life. The current her made him feel that in this world, the hardest thing to understand was the human heart.
What she said to Xu Muyun made him feel like he had never seen her clearly in the past twenty years. He was also reflecting on what he loved about her all these years, whether he pretended to be innocent and kind, or forced himself to pretend to be strong and resilient.
However, nothing she said now was of use. It seemed that she had lost her memory, had forgotten everything from the past, and had also forgotten about the matter between him and Xu Muyun. Four years ago, her feelings for her were not as strong as they were now.
After sitting on the chair for a long time, Ye Lan finally woke up from his dream. She weakly sat up and patted Han Rui, who was napping, and Han Rui was awoken. Seeing her curious gaze on him, he carefully observed the ignorance in Ye Lan's eyes that he had not seen for many years.
"Han Rui, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you seem to have aged a lot? Logically speaking, a man should be more resistant to old age than a woman. You're really too weak, making yourself look like a small old man."
Yes, this was the way she had spoken to him four years ago. She had not spoken to him this way since she had learned of his secret three years ago.
