"Alright, but what is it? Don't you like Ye Zixun?" Li Xiaoran knew that the heart that seemed frightening must be in love with Ye Zixun. Moreover, there was also Mumu's presence; the two of them were bound to come together, as fate had determined.
"Alright, I understand. I'm going to rest now; I'm so tired today." Lan Baobao listened to Li Xiaoran's words and didn't feel any particular emotion; she just wanted to hear Li Xiaoran's voice.
Now seeing Li Xiaoran able to be with Gu Feng might also be a kind of destiny, especially since Li Xiaoran was carrying Gu Feng's child.
In the end, Gu Feng was able to let go of Lan Baobao.
The flight arrived in Shanghai at three in the morning. Ye Zixun had been tortured to the point of looking unrecognizable, having lost weight significantly. Yet at this moment, the company had an urgent matter that required him to go to Shanghai personally to resolve.
In the early morning, at seven o'clock, Lan Baobao thought about it all night and decided she still needed to meet Ye Zixun to sort everything out. However, what she received was the news that Ye Zixun had gone to Shanghai, and his phone was surprisingly turned off. Ye Zixun, is this your attitude towards me? Lan Baobao couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. After all, he had proposed.
For three whole days, Lan Baobao didn't know that Ye Zixun had left his phone at the airport when he arrived. Ye Zixun was too busy to notice; usually, his personal number was unrelated to work matters. When he finally wanted to call Lan Baobao, he discovered that her number was no longer in service.
What is going on?
Ye Zixun quickly found a way to get a new SIM card and only heard Lan Baobao's voicemail. "You've been avoiding me for so long; it seems everything before was just a farce."
This sentence felt like a farewell.
In the end, Lan Baobao felt played; it turned out everything was a lie.
For some reason, Ye Zixun always had a sense of unease, as if he were experiencing another kind of separation.
Then Ye Zixun tried to contact Li Xiaoran, but Li Xiaoran seemed unaware of anything. It appeared that previously Lan Baobao wanted some quiet time, so she hadn't reached out actively. However, now it seemed that the situation was not that simple.
Could it be that Lan Baobao wants to leave again? How could she act like a child? She absolutely shouldn't do this.
Then Ye Zixun directly booked a flight back. He felt utterly exhausted. Wasn't this all his own doing? Why is it that just when happiness is about to arrive, everything has to change? As soon as Ye Zixun got off the plane, he hurried straight to Lan Baobao's house.
On the elevated road, Ye Zixun gradually slowed down. Perhaps he was tired; he drove slowly forward, as if he had suddenly lost his soul. His heart felt lost and irretrievable.
Then his phone suddenly rang; it was Li Xiaoran.
"I've arrived at Lan Baobao's house. Aunt Zhang is still here, and Lan Baobao has gone out; she should be fine." Li Xiaoran was a bit worried about Ye Zixun, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease.
"I'm fine, I'm almost there," Ye Zixun's voice was filled with sadness. Lan Baobao should be at home; was he being overly sensitive? And since nothing seemed wrong, why was Lan Baobao's phone number out of service?
Ye Zixun didn't notice the construction sign ahead. By the time he realized it, it was too late. At a speed of one hundred twenty miles per hour on the elevated road, the silver Ferrari crashed straight into a temporary wall built for repairs. The entire car flipped over; the airbags provided little protection, and Ye Zixun passed out on the spot. Fortunately, the repair workers quickly took him to the hospital.
At the hospital, based on the call records, the first person they contacted was Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran could hardly believe this fact; they had just been talking! How could this happen? How would she explain this to Lan Baobao?
"What happened to Ye Zixun?" Li Xiaoran was genuinely scared that something had happened to him. Although Lan Baobao had not been in a good state of mind lately, everyone suffers in silence for the sake of pride; no one cared more about Ye Zixun than Lan Baobao. Li Xiaoran didn't want to see her upset.
"Our hospital has done everything we can, but he was brought in a bit late. There is a possibility he may become a vegetable; you all need to prepare yourselves mentally." This was supposed to be the best hospital; if that were true... Li Xiaoran couldn't bear to think further.
"What? How could this happen?" Li Xiaoran truly couldn't accept it.
"Given his condition, if these two don't wake up, they might become vegetative." The doctor's serious demeanor really didn't seem like a joke.
This was simply too hard to accept. Just a few days ago, Ye Zixun had earnestly confessed to Lan Baobao, but now...
"Are you sure?" Li Xiaoran still couldn't believe it, but he had to admit the reality.
Li Xiaoran contacted Gu Feng, Mumu, and Ruo Ruo.
Li Xiaoran had no luck; when he called Lan Baobao, it was still a disconnected number.
"Mumu and Ruo Ruo, has Lan Baobao changed her number?" Li Xiaoran asked anxiously.
"We don't know," Mumu and Ruo Ruo replied. They had been living at the Ye Family and had no idea about Lan Baobao's situation.
"Do you know where Lan Baobao went?" Li Xiaoran was almost frantic.
"I don't know. Mom is missing?"
There was simply no way to reach Lan Baobao, and with Gu Feng not around, who else could help... Li Xiaoran felt utterly helpless. If the outside world found out about this news, the Ye Group... This matter couldn't be known by Ye Zixun's family for now.
"You all stay here with Ye Zixun. Li Xiaoran, keep an eye on him. I'm going to find Lan Baobao!" Gu Feng thought about where Lan Baobao might have gone; he was the one who understood her best.
Suddenly, he remembered the bar that Lan Baobao had gone to before.
“Gu Feng?” Lan Baobao was a bit puzzled by Gu Feng's arrival.
Gu Feng recounted Ye Zixun's situation to Lan Baobao.
“What do you mean?” Lan Baobao could hardly believe her ears. “Say that again!”
“Ye Zixun is currently lying in the hospital. If he doesn't wake up in the next two days, he might become a vegetable forever!” Although Gu Feng had not liked Ye Zixun before, now all he hoped for was Lan Baobao's happiness. Besides, he was about to become a father with Lin Xinru, and that made him feel different.
“What?” Lan Baobao could hardly believe what she heard. “I need to see him. Hurry, take me there now.” After learning about Ye Zixun's condition, it felt as if she had lost her senses in an instant. She never expected that Ye Zixun cared for her so much. Standing at the door of the hospital room, she didn't even have the courage to enter. Why was Ye Zixun so foolish? Why?
Lan Baobao finally understood how Ye Zixun must have felt when she lost her memory. If only she hadn't dropped her phone into the toilet back then and could have contacted Ye Zixun, none of this would have happened. It was entirely her fault!
“Lan Baobao, since you're here, just go in!” Li Xiaoran looked at Lan Baobao, who was still outside the hospital room. Li Xiaoran knew how much Lan Baobao meant to Ye Zixun. Perhaps love would help him wake up faster.
“I…” Lan Baobao thought about how Ye Zixun had ended up like this because of her. “Li Xiaoran, this is all my fault. I can't…”
“Lan Baobao, what are you talking about? You have always been Ye Zixun's most beloved person. Whatever happens is because of love, not your fault.” Li Xiaoran knew that Lan Baobao would blame herself for everything, just like when Lin Xinru felt responsible for the accident that happened to Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao couldn't believe that the man lying on the hospital bed could be declared a potential vegetable. It hurt so much. This was her deeply loved Ye Zixun. His eyes were tightly closed, devoid of any coldness or tenderness, with long eyelashes resting on his eyelids.
“Ye Zixun!” Lan Baobao walked over and slowly sat down by the bedside. “Ye Zixun, what happened? Don't scare me.” But there was no response from Ye Zixun. All her longing suddenly crumbled down. “I don't want to be stubborn anymore. Ye Zixun, wake up! Ye Zixun! You can't just leave like this; there's still a child! Don't you want your child? Mumu, Ruo Ruo, and I all need you so much.” Tears streamed down Lan Baobao's face.
“It's okay, Ye Zixun will be fine.” Gu Feng patted Lan Baobao on the shoulder, gently comforting her. “Believe in yourself, Lan Baobao.” Looking at his brother lying on the bed made it hard for Gu Feng.
Lan Baobao knew that her appearance would worry them. "I understand now, Gu Feng, Li Xiaoran, thank you so much! You have always been by my side. I can't even imagine what I would do without you. Gu Feng, Li Xiaoran, you are truly my most important friends." It was because they had always been there for her that she could remain optimistic and courageous.
Lan Baobao took a short break and then tidied herself up, not wanting Ye Zixun to see her in such a disheveled state.
"Ye Zixun, from the first moment I saw you, you were perfect, flawless. You know, there really is such a thing as love at first sight. Ye Zixun, if we hadn't had so many misunderstandings between us, would we have truly grown old together? Ye Zixun, you know, your cooking is really delicious. I still remember the first time I went to your house and you made me a simple Chinese meal. At that moment, I thought marrying you would be a happy thing. Ye Zixun, we've loved each other for so many years; you can't just... " Lan Baobao suddenly felt that their marriage was merely a contractual one, lacking true love.
She recounted their stories to Ye Zixun one by one, as if scenes from the past were being replayed.
"Lan Baobao, it's time to rest," Gu Feng said, looking at Lan Baobao's red eyes, feeling truly reluctant to see her like this.
"But..." Lan Baobao wanted to stay by his side.
"Listen to me, go get some rest, okay?" Gu Feng wouldn't allow Lan Baobao to be stubborn. Even now, Gu Feng deeply cared for Lan Baobao.
But this kind of care was something Li Xiaoran didn't mind.
"That's right, Lan Baobao, we're all here for you. Mumu and Ruo Ruo need to rest too," Li Xiaoran walked over.
Reluctantly, Lan Baobao had to think about her health; she was already weak enough. So, Mumu accompanied her to rest. This outcome was truly not the most beautiful one. Perhaps fate had played enough tricks and would no longer torment this deeply loving couple. Finally, it seemed they were going to be given a perfect future. After two nights, Lan Baobao looked significantly more haggard. This mutual worry and torment had truly been enough.
