Duan Wenyu looked at Tang Hongbo's ashen face. She wanted to ask something, but nothing came out of her mouth. She knew that Tang Hongbo was truly angry this time.
She prayed that Duan Wenzhuo would never wake up. Even if she did not get Tang Hongbo, she would never think of this as a love that should have belonged to her.
"Do you have to be so cruel to me?" Duan Wenyu lowered her head, and seemed to be muttering to herself.
Duan Wenyu knew clearly in his heart that he was only trying to force her to admit what he had done to Duan Wenzhuo. Why must she be so embarrassed?
But she would not say it. She would not say it even if she was beaten to death.
"Fine, I will leave, but before I leave, I want to talk to you for a bit. I know that the person you love right now, Wenzhuo, is the person you love the best, and you don't want her to get hurt in the slightest, because I also don't want you to get hurt, and I want to be nice to you. Since you already have a place in your heart, and no longer have my place, then let's separate matters." Duan Wenyu knew that Tang Hongbo would not listen to her, and she would not forgive her even more.
Therefore, she could only retreat in order to advance. Her tone was full of pleading.
Tang Hongbo seriously sized her up, as if he was trying to discern if her words were real or fake. Perhaps it was because Duan Wenyu's acting skills were too good, but from her face, Tang Hongbo could not find any traces of lying.
He asked after some thought.
"What do you mean?"
Duan Wenyu sat up on the ground and wiped the tears off her face. She smiled brilliantly at Duan Tang Hongbo, as if she was not the one who had been depressed and defeated just now.
"Can't you make out what I mean? Hongbo, you are so clever, we are not the same as how we were when we were young, we experienced so much, and even after using all our strength, we still could not walk together. I admit defeat, I did not lose to Duan Wenzhuo, I only lost to you, so, let's just return to being normal friends. " Duan Wenyu said a lot of things, but the most important part was that she wanted to say the last few words.
However, no one knew how much pain she felt when she said those words. It was just that she had no choice but to say those words in order to make her path better in the future.
Tang Hongbo was a little surprised.
"Are you serious?" Tang Hongbo looked at her with an incredulous expression. He didn't think that Duan Wenyu would say such a thing.
"Why can't it be true? I've been held in the palm of my hand since I was young. Why do I have to be humble and subservient to you so many times? Hongbo, even if we can't become lovers, we can still be good friends, right? " Duan Wenyu laughed with a relaxed expression.
Tang Hongbo slowly nodded his head, as if he agreed with Duan Wenyu's words.
"Also..." Duan Wenyu looked at Duan Wenzhuo who was on the sickbed, and said with an apologetic tone.
I hope you can forgive me. In the future, I will definitely treat her very well, and I know that I will treat her very well, and I know that I have done wrong. Hongbo, I have let you down, and I have also let Wenzhuo down. Duan Wenyu said.
Duan Wenyu's acting skills were superb, Tang Hongbo was completely unable to see through her acting. Or perhaps it was because he really wanted to see Duan Wenyu, and changed his appearance just because he knew his wrongs.
After all, they had grown up together, and it would be a lie to say that they didn't have any feelings for each other. Thus, Tang Hongbo was now willing to believe that what she said was true.
"I won't tell her." Tang Hongbo looked at Duan Wenzhuo and said indifferently.
Duan Wenyu knew what he was saying, and he would not tell Duan Wenzhuo about her. This was exactly what she wanted, because this way, she could continue to stay by her side.
She had lived such a long life, was she still afraid of not having a chance? Duan Wenyu thought in her heart.
"Well, thank you." Duan Wenyu lowered her head and said.
"I won't let her be sad. If she knows that her most trusted sister has been doing all this to hurt her, she will definitely wish she were dead. This isn't what I want to see." Tang Hongbo's tone did not sound angry or happy. His expression was normal, but when he spoke of Duan Wenzhuo, her expression changed into a gentleness that she had never seen before.
Duan Wenyu saw it and hated it in her heart, but she could not show it now.
"I know that I have let her down. From now on, I will not disturb you guys again. Just let me be a passerby and silently bless you all." Duan Wenyu said indifferently.
"Take care." Tang Hongbo thought for a while and in the end only said these two words.
Duan Wenyu felt that these two words, were as heavy as gold. She wanted Tang Hongbo to just not give it to her, she didn't want him to, yet he said those two words so easily.
"No, I should tell you about our past. There is still the future, right? We are all good friends now, right?" Duan Wenyu mischievously asked.
"As long as you don't mind, as long as you sincerely repent." Tang Hongbo still did not quite believe her, but in the end, he still warned her.
"So you still refuse to believe me?" Duan Wenyu lowered her head, looking like she was injured.
"I'm tired. Go back first." Tang Hongbo did not want to continue and turned away to no longer look at her.
Duan Wenyu looked at his proud and cold back, and his heart was ice-cold. He had already begged for peace in such a low voice, could it be that he still didn't believe him?
But she knew Tang Hongbo's character. If she did not give in this time, Tang Hongbo would definitely not let her go. Since she could not stay by his side as she liked him, then let her stay by his side as a friend. This way, she would have more chances.
Duan Wenyu thought about it for a while, and in the end, still decided to turn around and leave.
There was a light smell of disinfectant in the room, and Tang Hongbo knew that Duan Wenzhuo hated the smell. He walked over to the window with light footsteps and opened it.
The fresh morning air was blown into the room slowly along with the wind, dispersing some of the the disinfectant smell in the room. Tang Hongbo turned his head, and the sunlight shone on Duan Wenzhuo's pale face.
With his back against the window, looking at it from his angle, Duan Wenzhuo seemed like a sleeping angel who was about to leave at any time. From last night to now, his heart had never calmed down.
Every time she fainted in the hospital, he was more afraid than ever, afraid that something had happened to her, afraid that something had happened to her child, afraid that she would never wake up again.
History has always been shockingly similar. Tang Hongbo didn't know how many times he had spent the morning trembling with fear, or how many times he had felt fear.
Duan Wenzhuo still had not woken up. The doctor said that she had suffered greatly and that it would be difficult for her to wake up now.'s heart was filled with guilt and pain.
His guilt towards Duan Wenzhuo was like a huge rock pressing on his chest, causing him to be unable to breathe. If he did not trust Duan Wenyu that easily, such a thing would not have happened.
Even if Duan Wenyu were to give up on him now and stop hurting Duan Wenzhuo, he still wouldn't be able to trust her completely. He had already hurt her many times by accident previously, so he would definitely protect her well in the future.
Half an hour later, Secretary Wang appeared in the sickroom with the plan to cooperate with Sima Yun.
Secretary Wang knew that Tang Hongbo doted on him a lot. For her, he could give up his job and even go to another place to work.
"CEO, this is a plan to work with Sima Yun, I need you to make a final confirmation." Secretary Wang respectfully said as he looked at the Tang Hongbo sitting in front of the sickbed with a gentle face.
Tang Hongbo indifferently said without even looking at Secretary Wang.
"Cancel it."
"What?" Secretary Wang didn't seem to understand Tang Hongbo's question.
"Cancel your collaboration with Sima Yun." Tang Hongbo's voice became ice-cold this time.
Secretary Wang was surprised, this was a cooperation that they had fought for with much difficulty, for this Tang Hongbo had drank a lot, why did he cancel it so quickly?
"CEO, is there some misunderstanding? We've fought for so long for this partnership case, are you sure you want to cancel it now?" Secretary Wang was still unresigned and asked.
"There's no misunderstanding. Could our Tang Clan be bankrupt without Sima Yun's cooperation?" Tang Hongbo thought back to last night's situation, and wished for nothing more than to kill Sima Yun.
If it wasn't for the fact that he desperately poured wine into his mouth, he wouldn't have drank so much, and there wouldn't have been any future events. Even if he had to cancel his cooperation with him, that would be fine.
He had always seen cooperation between people, he never would have thought that Sima Yun was just a pervert who couldn't get up on stage. If not for the Sima Clan's power behind him, he wouldn't even be able to look at him.
"Alright, I understand. I'll do it now." Secretary Wang nodded.
Not long after, Duan Wenyu received a call. Her design had been rejected by Sima Yun, but along with the design draft, she received an invitation.
The one who was invited was naturally Duan Wenyu. He still didn't give up on wanting Duan Wenyu to work at his company, but Duan Wenyu didn't even look at it before throwing it into the trash can.
When dusk was approaching, Duan Wenzhuo slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight was no longer blinding, and the smell of the disinfectant in the room no longer seemed as thick.
Duan Wenzhuo looked around, there was no one inside the ward, the ward was the suite, she could not see if there was anyone outside, just as she was about to ring the bell to call the nurse, she heard a turning sound from the door.
