Ye Zixun felt all his anger crumble the moment he saw Lan Baobao's tears.
His heart was filled only with tenderness and immense guilt.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Baby, everyone at home is waiting for you. Once you come back, our family will be complete. Baby, will you come back with me?"
Lan Baobao had to admit that she liked, even craved, Ye Zixun's embrace.
But every time she caught a whiff of Ye Zixun's scent, amidst her attachment, Lan Baobao's mind was still filled with the image of Mu Jiangfeng, swirling in her thoughts that she couldn't shake off.
She shook her head and struggled out of Ye Zixun's arms.
Lan Baobao was very afraid; afraid that if she nestled back into Ye Zixun's embrace, all her resolve would crumble.
"Zi Xun, our relationship has reached this point. Do you think we still have a chance to continue?"
"What do you mean?"
A faint self-deprecating smile appeared on Lan Baobao's face. "It means nothing. I just think giving each other some space would be good for both of us. Zi Xun, let's get a divorce. That way we can still be friends and continue to see each other."
"Impossible!" He nearly jumped up from the bedside, glaring at the woman in front of him with fury.
How could she turn so cold-hearted?
Just a moment ago, she was crying in his arms, winning his sympathy and softening his heart, and the next moment, she was bringing up divorce.
Did she think that by mixing soft and hard tactics he would agree? Impossible!
“Lan Baobao, listen to me carefully. From now on, I don't want to hear you mention divorce again. We cannot and will not get divorced. Not in this lifetime! You better remember this clearly: you are the woman I bought, and divorce is not something you can decide!”
Indeed, she was a woman bought by Ye Zixun.
Lan Baobao agreed at that time because she did not want to be separated from her two children and was forced to comply with Ye Zixun's power.
However, she now realizes that Ye Zixun is not as terrifying as she thought. At least, no matter what happens, Ye Zixun would not resort to violence against her. At most, it would just be some cold treatment.
Ye Zixun would not really take the children away from her.
For once, Lan Baobao's intuition was surprisingly accurate.
No matter what happens, Ye Zixun would not do such a cruel thing to her.
“Ye Zixun, can you be a bit more rational? In our situation, what difference does it make if we don’t get divorced?” Seeing his furious expression, Lan Baobao felt her emotions rising as well.
Ye Zixun sneered; he thought of Gu Feng standing outside and felt a surge of jealousy.
He said bluntly, “Lan Baobao, is it because our relationship has deteriorated to this point that you want a divorce because of Gu Feng?”
“What... what do you mean by that?” Lan Baobao frowned. Does Ye Zixun want to insult Gu Feng again?
Ye Zixun sneered, his feelings complicated.
The families of Gu Feng and Ye Zixun were old friends.
The two of them had a harmonious relationship, even to the point where they could call each other friends, a luxury title.
But at this moment, a fire was burning in Ye Zixun's heart.
He no longer cared about brotherly feelings because if they were truly brothers, he would never lay a hand on his brother's woman.
"I'm asking you, is it because Gu Feng is already with you that you can't wait to get rid of me?"
Lan Baobao smiled self-deprecatingly. Ye Zixun was just that kind of person, someone who never considered the feelings of others. How could she still foolishly hope that he would calmly discuss things with her?
"Ye Zixun, can you stop being so unreasonable? No matter how you think, our relationship has come to an end. Also, Gu Feng is not the kind of person you think he is. If it weren't for Gu Feng, both my daughter and I would be dead by now. Even if you are ungrateful, you shouldn't slander Gu Feng."
Ye Zixun was taken aback for a moment and calmly pondered Lan Baobao's words.
"What do you mean, if it's not Gu Feng, both you and Ye Ziru would die?"
"It means exactly what it says. Ye Ziru was kidnapped, and my situation wasn't any better. If it weren't for Gu Feng accidentally finding me, I might already be dead."
She knew about Ye Ziru's kidnapping?
If Lan Baobao wasn't kidnapped by the same person as Ye Ziru, how would she know about Ye Ziru? Did Gu Feng deliberately use this incident to gain favor in front of Lan Baobao, making her take his side?
"I can give him money, give him my property, give him everything material he wants, but to make me treat you as a gift of gratitude to him, I can't do that."
Finally, after hearing this sentence, Lan Baobao could no longer hold back and slapped Ye Zixun across the face.
"Ye Zixun, do you know that what you just said is very shameless? Do you think everyone is like you? Gu Feng is not that kind of person at all."
"Well, yes, in your eyes I am shameless, while he is wonderful, right?" Hearing his beloved woman say this only intensified his jealousy.
What does he have that Gu Feng doesn't? And in what way has he wronged Lan Baobao?
He hasn't done anything wrong, yet he receives such treatment.
It's unfair! Truly unfair!
"Lan Baobao, in your heart, only I would do something to hurt you, while he would only treat you well, right?"
"That's right, he would only treat me well."
It seemed like a rebellious statement, but Lan Baobao didn't know why she said such things.
Perhaps when people are at the beginning of a relationship, they really say things they regret later, just like Lan Baobao now.
"And just like you, I've fallen for him. I won't be able to find a man like him again, so I plan to cherish him and not give up."
Ah, what am I saying!?
Lan Baobao's heart raced wildly.
Lan Baobao, you big fool, what are you talking about? How can you drag Gu Feng into this?
She really didn't know how to explain things to Gu Feng. Lan Baobao, you are such a big fool!
"Very well, Lan Baobao, very well, I’ll give you that." Ye Zixun's situation was terrible, and he was gritting his teeth in anger.
His joints were cracking as he squeezed them tightly.
"Lan Baobao, I won't let you have your way. You will never be with anyone else as long as I am here. You, Lan Baobao, are my wife, and no one can take you away from me."
"And what about you?" Lan Baobao shouted uncontrollably. Did he forget? Did he forget his own infidelity?
"What about Mu Jiao'er? Haven't you two been entangled together for a long time? Now you're here to blame me?"
Just thinking about how Ye Zixun's lover had kidnapped Ye Ziru made Lan Baobao hold Ye Zixun responsible for it.
If it weren't for his ongoing entanglement with Mu Jiao'er, Ye Ziru wouldn't have encountered such a situation.
This man only blamed others but never acknowledged his own faults.
What Lan Baobao hated most was this aspect of Ye Zixun.
Ye Zixun didn't respond at all; he just gritted his teeth and glared at Lan Baobao before turning to leave.
How should he tell Lan Baobao that no matter what he did for her, his methods were not aboveboard? Once Lan Baobao found out, she would never forgive him.
As Ye Zixun walked out of the room, he ran into Gu Feng standing at the door. The two men exchanged glances in a silent confrontation at the entrance of the ward.
Ye Zixun's cold gaze was directed at Gu Feng's face. "Gu Feng, I will not let you have Lan Baobao, absolutely not."
"What do you mean by that?"
The door of the hospital room was soundproof, and the words from outside could not be heard inside.
Ye Zixun stormed out, his face pale, and uttered such a statement.
It was completely irrational.
Ye Zixun sneered, "Gu Feng, I used to consider you a brother. I trusted you, but you betrayed me by seducing my wife. Lan Baobao is mine; I won't let anyone touch her, not even you!"
"Oh really? Then let's see who ends up holding Lan Baobao in the end." Gu Feng immediately understood why Ye Zixun was angry.
It must be that Lan Baobao used him as an excuse to block Ye Zixun so that he would go back first.
He glared at Gu Feng resentfully as Ye Zixun left without looking back.
At that moment, Gu Feng slowly walked into the hospital room, wearing a faint smile, feeling quite helpless.
After all, being used by the woman he loved most would make anyone feel somewhat helpless!
"You really made Ye Zixun angry; his face turned green with rage. He almost wanted to fight me."
"Um... I'm sorry. You have been very good to me and care about me. I like you now; I don't want him anymore."
"Actually, you don't need to do that."
Gu Feng was simply at a loss for words.
Lan Baobao knew that Gu Feng cared for her, and that alone made her very touched. However, there was no need to fabricate such a lie just to provoke Ye Zixun.
Gu Feng was very clear in her heart; no matter how much Lan Baobao understood her kindness, she only regarded him as a family member, an older brother, rather than the feelings between a man and a woman.
Gu Feng felt a bit of disappointment.
"You know why I'm doing this," Lan Baobao said, her emotions calming down, unlike the agitation she had shown earlier when facing Ye Zixun.
Relaxing on her bed, she lay back with her eyes slightly squinted and her head tilted, looking out the window.
Gu Feng nodded; he certainly understood that Lan Baobao's actions were mainly to prevent Ye Zixun from knowing about the incident involving Mu Jiangfeng. If Ye Zixun found out, he would undoubtedly investigate further, peeling back layers until he uncovered things that Gu Feng did not want him to know.
At that point, things would become even more troublesome.
Additionally, this kind-hearted person also planned to take care of Mu Jiangfeng. Given that Ye Zixun would jump at the chance to confront Mu Jiangfeng, how could he allow his woman to care for him?
