“Lan Baobao, Lan Baobao…” It was clearly the faint voice of Ye Zixun.
“Ye Zixun!” Li Xiaoran was the first to hear it. Li Xiaoran hurried to call the attending physician. Gu Feng watched from the side. At this moment, Lan Baobao was still resting in the next room; she was too exhausted.
“How is Ye Zixun?” Li Xiaoran asked with great concern.
“If she’s awake, then she’s fine. There are no signs of blood clots or anything like that,” the doctor said, looking relatively cheerful. Ye Zixun should be okay.
“Really? Ye Zixun is okay…” Gu Feng seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
“What about Lan Baobao?” The first thing Ye Zixun asked was this. In Ye Zixun's heart, perhaps Lan Baobao was more important than anything else.
“She’s fine.” Li Xiaoran was truly overwhelmed with excitement. Finally, everything was heading towards a perfect conclusion.
“What about Lan Baobao?” It seemed that Ye Zixun didn’t register what Li Xiaoran had said and just wanted to see Lan Baobao quickly, so she asked again.
What a stubborn person Ye Zixun was. “Lan Baobao is resting. She has been taking care of you all this time, and her health isn’t good…” Gu Feng could only say this much.
But how could Ye Zixun listen? “I want to see her.” If you are well, then I can be at ease. Ye Zixun had to see her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed back from Shanghai so quickly.
Li Xiaoran really had no choice. “Ye Zixun, calm down! How can you go in your current state? Once Lan Baobao wakes up, she will come by herself.” Looking at the bandage wrapped around Ye Zixun's head, Li Xiaoran felt truly pained. She couldn’t let anything happen to Ye Zixun, or else it would be hard to explain things to Lan Baobao.
“No, I must go see her.” Saying this, Ye Zixun pulled out the IV drip and tried to get out of bed.
“Ye Zixun, what are you doing?” Gu Feng quickly stopped her.
"I want to see..." Ye Zixun didn't care; he had to see Lan Baobao.
"Ye Zixun." Lan Baobao appeared at the door of the hospital room.
"Lan Baobao!" It was clearly the person he had been thinking about day and night. Ye Zixun's heart was filled with excitement. Even though it had only been a week, it felt like five years.
Having lost once, he couldn't bear to lose again.
Gu Feng and Li Xiaoran wisely stepped out, leaving only Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun in the room.
Lan Baobao just stood there, not taking another step forward, silently looking at Ye Zixun, her eyes already brimming with tears. "Lan Baobao." Ye Zixun sat up, disregarding the pain in his body, gazing affectionately at Lan Baobao.
"Lan Baobao, I miss you." Ye Zixun's words were unexpectedly heartfelt.
This one sentence was enough to shatter all of Lan Baobao's defenses. Her tears flowed like pearls that had broken free from their string.
"Lan Baobao, don't cry..." Seeing Lan Baobao in such a state made Ye Zixun's heart ache. A man fears nothing more than the tears of the woman he loves. He wanted to get up to comfort her, but Lan Baobao quickly came over and stopped him, "Ye Zixun."
"Lan Baobao." Ye Zixun raised his arm wanting to embrace her, but Lan Baobao nimbly dodged. "Lan Baobao?" Ye Zixun didn't understand what she meant.
Lan Baobao looked at Ye Zixun, "Do you think looking like this means you can get back together with me?" she teased playfully.
Lan Baobao's words left Ye Zixun confused. "Lan Baobao, what do you mean?" Seriously, I’m like this now, and you’ve agreed to my proposal; are you going back on your word?
Lan Baobao began to explain, "At first, you didn’t answer my calls; I haven’t forgiven you yet. I came to see you purely out of moral obligation." Seeing Ye Zixun awake made her heart ache, but she still playfully threw a tantrum.
Bian Zhen was at a loss for words. "Lan Baobao, I already know I was wrong. Do you still want to torment me?" Ye Zixun really couldn't imagine the pain of losing Lan Baobao again.
"Again? We aren't even married," Lan Baobao had already wiped away her tears and was looking at Ye Zixun, pretending to be indifferent. Clearly, she wanted Ye Zixun to marry her. Ye Zixun was such a fool. Sometimes, people like him just didn't have a clue.
"Lan Baobao." Seeing her like this, Ye Zixun was completely flustered. How could it be like this? Gu Feng and the others had clearly been taken care of by Lan Baobao all this time; how could she suddenly change like this? What was going on?
In fact, Lan Baobao was just playing with Ye Zixun. Watching him so anxious was really amusing. There are gains and losses; this is a law that has existed since ancient times.
"Fool, this is to make you marry her." Gu Feng suddenly walked in. He looked at Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing.
Previously, he had discussed with Li Xiaoran that once Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao remarried, they would settle in the United States and never come back. Both Gu Feng and Li Xiaoran knew that those youthful days would ultimately have to say goodbye to them.
Li Xiaoran suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Feng, then chose not to disturb Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun in the hospital room, nor did he disturb the sleeping Mumu and Ruo Ruo.
"Gu Feng, I really might not be able to stay by their side anymore. The chances of coming to Hong Kong in the future might be very few, but my heart will always be with them. I will always remember the days we spent together," Li Xiaoran said, feeling very sad at that moment.
"Everyone has their own future." Gu Feng knew that ultimately he could only bless Lan Baobao from afar.
"Lan Baobao, you must take good care of yourself and cherish my love for you," Li Xiaoran turned to look at Lan Baobao in the hospital room.
Before Li Xiaoran could finish, Gu Feng interrupted her, "Do all the promises made back then still count? Even if they can't be realized now, it doesn't mean they won't in the future. As long as the future hasn't arrived yet, it's all an unknown. So do they still count? Just consider it giving Lan Baobao a beautiful dream."
In the hospital, Ye Zixun smiled at Lan Baobao. "I will definitely marry you."
At first, Ye Zixun knew he had wronged Lan Baobao. Even though she treated him this way, he remained determined to win her back; nothing could stop him—not even mountains of knives or seas of fire. This time, with Lan Baobao right in front of him, Ye Zixun would never let her leave again. This time, I won't let you leave my embrace; only I am worthy enough to hold you close.
After the second event, I learned about Li Xiaoran and Gu Feng going to America. Lan Baobao felt a heart-wrenching pain. But what could be done? In the end, the music ended and people scattered. Everyone had their own conclusions. Li Xiaoran, Gu Feng, you must be thinking of us in a foreign land, right? As the best of friends.
Li Xiaoran, Gu Feng, you will surely be happy.
Ye Zixun. This name filled my mind. Lan Baobao even wondered if her words to the just-awakened Ye Zixun yesterday were hurtful enough. She even questioned whether she was being unforgivable. How could she not forgive him when it was clearly her fault? Lan Baobao was still very conflicted.
To avoid raising suspicions from the outside world, Ye Zixun returned to the company as usual. Since he had woken up, there was really no major issue.
“Mumu and Ruo Ruo, what are we doing?” Mumu had come to the company with Ye Zixun because of the holiday. Ruo Ruo, however, had gone to see Lan Baobao.
“Lan Baobao, you've basically been talking about this matter all morning.” Ruo Ruo looked at Lan Baobao's restless demeanor and knew that she had already forgiven Ye Zixun; she just wasn't willing to back down. Ruo Ruo was well aware of everything. Moreover, this guy even called him by his full name.
These two little devils.
“Ruo Ruo~” Lan Baobao actually understood her own thoughts; Ruo Ruo completely understood her too. This kid had matured long ago.
“Mom, actually it's right for you not to back down. What if Dad doesn't cherish you enough? Although this time... never mind, Mom, he will come looking for you.” This Ruo Ruo was truly a twin with Mumu; her words were more mature than those of adults. She could think through such issues so thoroughly. Lan Baobao wasn't with the wrong person; she was just at the wrong time.
If only Ye Zixun were mature enough and qualified to love someone when fate brought Lan Baobao to him—not in a contractual manner—perhaps there wouldn't have been so much misunderstanding between them. Maybe they could have been together long ago. For three whole days, Ye Zixun hadn't called at all; she was even starting to lose hope. Lan Baobao could almost hear her heart breaking and had asked Ruo Ruo about it, but Ye Zixun seemed to be very busy.
Anyway, Lan Baobao couldn't bring herself to talk to Ye Zixun either. There was a feeling of mutual hesitation between them.
“Lan Baobao, don't be so restless; he's just a man,” Ruo Ruo said as if Ye Zixun weren't her father. And Mumu hadn't even given her any heads-up; how could he be such a son?
Lan Baobao had no words left, but tears had already begun to fall.
“Lan Baobao, what's wrong? Don't cry, we didn't mean to. Ye Zixun, I'll go take care of him for you.” Ruo Ruo was really a little devil. Now she was calling her father by his full name.
“Ruo Ruo, you can't call him by name.” Lan Baobao suddenly laughed. Fortunately, over the years, there had always been two children around; otherwise, Lan Baobao really couldn't have stayed this strong.
In fact, Ruo Ruo already knew Mumu's plan regarding Ye Zixun, but her task was to keep Lan Baobao distracted and prevent her from discovering everything.
“The flowers will arrive tomorrow morning, but isn't a truckload of white roses a bit excessive?” Ye Zixun had invited a bunch of good friends to help. These tasteful people knew better than the professionals about what to do.
“Honey, you won't have to spend any money; this is our Ye Zixun's wedding.” A young and handsome man rearranged the chairs again.
It was truly regrettable that his best friend Gu Feng couldn't attend, but perhaps it was for the best. After all, it was Lan Baobao's happiness. Gu Feng just wanted to sincerely bless Lan Baobao and didn't want to create any disharmony. So he chose to leave before the wedding. Now that Ye Zixun loved her, he would let Ye Zixun express his love for Lan Baobao, bringing his own blessings along; Lan Baobao would surely walk through life happily and beautifully. That was enough.
“We should be able to finish decorating before eight tomorrow morning, Ye Zixun, don't worry. This time it's really heartfelt; we didn't ask anyone else for help.” One friend helped Ye Zixun set up the framework while a group of handsome men worked as if they were creating the most exquisite craft in the world. This was indeed the most beautiful arrangement. No one complained about being tired. It was inherently a perfect and sacred wedding. It seemed everyone felt happy just by participating.
“Thank you so much for your help.” Ye Zixun had completely lost his previous arrogance; the man in front of him looked like the sunshine in March—handsome, warm, and young. He would do anything for the one he loved, basking in the glow of love with a dazzling feeling.
“Not at all! By the way, are you really not going to let the media come?” A man walked over and patted Ye Zixun on the shoulder.
Ye Zixun didn't want any media to disturb this wedding. “We can't let anyone interrupt; you should understand how I feel.” Ye Zixun smiled as if he had been smiling all along.
“Your sister-in-law will definitely be surprised.” A man laughed, as if he could already see Lan Baobao's happiness at that moment.
“Thank you all; I really appreciate it.” In his heart, Ye Zixun felt grateful.
It was destined to be a perfect wedding. This wedding had no ancient historical church or any world-famous scenic spots with strange legends—just a sincere heart was completely enough. A luxurious yet understated perfect wedding.
Then Mumu told Ruo Ruo that there was another task, which was to get Lan Baobao to wear a wedding dress.
“Mom, actually there's something I want to tell you.” Ruo Ruo couldn't find any reason to make her mother willingly wear that exquisite wedding dress; there was simply no way to come up with a story. No matter how clever Ruo Ruo was, she couldn't persuade Lan Baobao. Who would be bored enough to try on a wedding dress?
“Hmm?” Lan Baobao naturally wasn't in the mood. The two of them had been waiting for Ye Zixun's call or message, but nothing came through. Could it be that Ye Zixun was really hurt by her and no longer had any desire to pursue her?
“Mom, it's not that Dad doesn't contact you; he's just preparing other things.” Ruo Ruo felt helpless; time was running out. If she messed this up, Ye Zixun would probably be furious with her, and this was no joke. Upon hearing this, Lan Baobao seemed to understand why; it was just that Ye Zixun wanted to give her a surprise. But did it really need this much preparation? Wasn't Ye Zixun supposed to be capable of anything?
“Mom, there's this too.” Ruo Ruo knew she couldn't come up with any more excuses and magically pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift box.
“What is this?” Lan Baobao looked at the box; this gift was quite large.
“Come on, Mom, we can't wait any longer. Mom, that's the wedding dress!” Mumu was still considering the makeup situation, which she couldn't solve by herself.
“Ah? A wedding dress?” Lan Baobao could hardly believe what she heard, but when she opened it, it truly was a pure wedding dress. Just looking at the diamonds embedded in it indicated that this dress was quite expensive. “How is this possible?” Lan Baobao seemed to understand everything now but suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her nose. So it turned out that Ye Zixun had been preparing this.
“Mom, don't think too much about it; hurry and change!” Ruo Ruo was really anxious and then called Dad to find a makeup artist.
The makeup artist arrived quickly. They were very efficient.
It was almost 8:30 by the time everything was ready, and Ruo Ruo was sweating with anxiety while the phone kept ringing insistently. If she messed this up, it would be disastrous. In fact, Ye Zixun had been hanging by a thread; if Lan Baobao insisted on refusing, this wedding would turn into a farce.
“Mom, you are the fairy in my heart.” Ruo Ruo sat beside Lan Baobao, admiring her beautiful mother. A blush spread across Lan Baobao's cheeks; finally, this moment had arrived.
It seemed like all misunderstandings and all hurts had finally come to an end, as if all the unpleasantness from before could now be completely put to rest.
Fortunately, she did not miss the auspicious time of nine o'clock. Lan Baobao, dragging the long and cumbersome white wedding dress, hurriedly walked to the end of the red carpet. Looking over, Ye Zixun was already standing there, holding a bouquet of white roses.
And her own pair of children.
Throughout the entire wedding, one could clearly feel Ye Zixun's sincerity.
Finally, all of this was coming to an end, just like that contractual marriage from many years ago, but this time it was genuine.
It seemed that she had never felt such happiness as today; lovers finally became a couple. After going through so many storms and trials, everything was finally about to reach a perfect conclusion.
Lan Baobao knew that in this lifetime, there would never be another man who could reside in her heart like this again.
Holding hands together, growing old together. In this life, they would love each other without any reservations.
