ingran and He Hanchuan chatted and laughed. And she stood behind the two of them, just like Jiang Qingran had sarcastically implied, like a servant.There were many people in the hospital. Three people...After seeing them leave, Huayuan seemed to have her burdens lifted, letting out a long sigh of relief.

At once, she felt her whole body become soft and weak. Her legs wobbled and she was about to fall backward.

"Wanye." Menglan noticed her abnormality first and hurried forward, reaching out to support her arm.

With her support, Xiangwan managed to stand on her feet. She lowered her head, and tears of pain flowed slowly down her cheeks.

"I never wanted these shares, all I want is for Hanchuan to come back, no matter what the cost, even if it means selling everything I own... I'm willing!"

She didn't care about shares, titles, wealth or fame at all!

"I know, but A-Wan, you need to understand, things have already happened. We need to face them bravely." Meng Lan hugged her tightly, looking at her with determination. "Just like what you did just now, you did very well. For a moment, I felt like I saw the shadow of Mr. He."

It is said that couples who love each other too much will become more and more alike as time goes by.

Over the years since she married He Hanchuan, Xiang Wan had become increasingly capable and independent.

But this result was not what she wanted.

Listening to her words, Xiang Wan's heart ached even more, but she bit her lip hard, forcing herself not to cry.

Immediately, she took a step forward to Zhao Yu's face and held her hand tightly.

"Mom, don't cry."

Zhao Yu lifted her swollen eyes, helplessly looking at her, “Mom… I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. They all said Hanchuan is dead, he just left us so cruelly.”

"No, I have a feeling he won't leave!" Xiangwan emphasized her words, looking at Zhao Yu with certainty. "Mom, I'm going abroad tomorrow. You have to take good care of yourself. I'll find Hanchuan back."

"Good," Zhao Yu stroked her palm, "Mom, wait for me."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes, staring at Xiang Wan with tears glistening in them for a long time, unable to bear to look away.

At that glance, Yanan's heart ached suddenly.

Before, she had always lived under He Hanchuan's protection, so she felt that everything around her was happy and fulfilling. Even if she occasionally made a mistake, he would protect her in front of others.

But now, he is gone.

Only then did Xiang Wan realize how fragile the people around her were. She had to suppress her own pain and, in place of He Hanchuan, take on the burden of supporting their family.

……

Finally coaxed A-Wan to sleep. Seeing that she would be leaving for the airport tomorrow morning, Menglan didn't want to leave and stayed at the He household to sleep tonight.

Perhaps because they had changed places, by late at night Menglan found she couldn't sleep.

Suddenly, she felt dry mouth and throat. Menglan didn't force herself to sleep either. She picked up the water glass on the table and went downstairs.

"BOOM!"

To everyone's surprise, it suddenly poured outside. The rain was coming down in sheets, and the wind was howling like crazy, making my scalp tingle!

Menglan walked slowly down the corridor, her lips pursed tightly. She stared at the villa swallowed by darkness, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

She has always been afraid of the dark.

Especially when in an unfamiliar environment, this sense of panic intensifies.

Thinking about this, Menglan slowly walked down the stairs, reaching out to gently feel along the wall, trying to find the switch.

Because she couldn't see anything, especially being in a strange environment, she couldn't find the power button.

Suddenly, her foot went numb and she couldn't stand steady.

Seeing Menglan about to fall down the stairs, she screamed in terror, closing her eyes, trying to lessen the pain!

Just then, suddenly an arm reached out from behind to stop her waist and whispered in her ear, "Be careful."

Hearing the man's deep, magnetic voice, Meng Lan's small face flushed red. She turned her head and awkwardly replied.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Feng Mu didn't let go of her hand, looking at her, "What are you doing out so late"

"I'm a little thirsty and want to get some water," Menglan reminded him softly, then picked up her cup and shook it. "But I couldn't find the light switch, so I almost tripped."

Feng Mu hummed softly, "Do you need me to help you open it"

"Alright." Menglan nodded helplessly, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Feng Mu didn't speak, he just took out his phone from his pocket, opened it, turned on the flashlight mode, and handed it to her face. "Help me light it up."

"Oh, alright." Menglan softly replied, taking the phone from his hand and pointing it forward along the road.

Feng Mu stepped forward and found the switch. "Click," he flipped it, and the hall was instantly bathed in light.

Meng Lan stepped forward and handed him her phone. "Here, this is yours."

"What are you doing" Feng Mu asked her.

"I'm going to get some water, would you like some too"

"Mm." Feng Mu responded in a low voice, "Pour me a cup too."

"Okay." Menglan didn't politely refuse either, since pouring a glass of water wouldn't take much time anyway.

She went down the stairs first, poured herself a little drink and then bent down to find a paper cup for Feng Mu.

After searching for a long time, I didn't see any disposable paper cups.

Just as Menglan was worrying, Feng Mu unexpectedly took the cup from her hand and, without hesitation, drank down the rest of the water following the traces left behind.

Seeing this, Menglan's cheeks flushed red, and she softly reminded him.

"This is one I've had."

"It's okay, I don't mind. We've done everything together, drinking from the same cup isn't a big deal." Feng Mu said calmly, then bent down to pour another glass of water.

Thank you.

After he had finished drinking, he passed the cup to Menglan.

Meng Lan had just reached out to take it when Feng Mu's rough fingertip lightly brushed against her hand, with a touch that was slightly cool.

"No...no need." Menglan froze for a moment, hurriedly withdrawing her hand.

Seeing her avoiding him, Feng Mu let out a soft sigh. Immediately, he reached out and firmly grasped her wrist, reminding her softly, "Come sit with me for a while."

His voice was weary, almost pleading.

……

Menglan accompanied him to the back garden.

Standing under the eaves, Menglan held a cup of hot water in her hand, slightly raising her head to gaze at the bright moonlight.

Feng Mu stood before her, pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it with a sideways tilt of his head. Smoke curled around his handsome face.

Looking at his silence, Meng Lan's heart inexplicably ached. She broke the silence first, speaking up.

"Has everything with A-Wai been sorted out She's going abroad tomorrow, she should have someone to look after her, right"irst sight. From their freshman year to now, for so many years, she didn't even want to see him on her deathbed!He initially endured the insults from his in-laws. After immersing himself in the busine...
