"Alright, little princess, your sister wants to chat with you, okay?" Su Binglan blinked her eyes and said to Liu Shihua.
"You're not jealous of my beautiful face, trying to harm me, are you?" Liu Shihua said innocently, always feeling that Su Binglan bore ill intentions towards her.
Su Binglan was somewhat stuck, the way this big star talked made her slightly uncomfortable.
"Interesting!" Wen Rou couldn't help but praise when she saw Su Binglan getting the short end of the stick.
"I know about you and Ye Chen!" Su Binglan looked coldly at Liu Shihua. "Zhang Xinlan came back here today; you must be quite proud of yourself, right?"
Su Binglan's words threw the big star into a panic; how could this woman know all this?!
"What do you want to do?" Liu Shihua asked timidly.
"I want to talk to you, to take you as my sister!"
...
"Ye Chen, don't go too far, stop following me!"
The warm sunshine fell on her face, Zhang Xinlan glared at Ye Chen with anger.
"The road isn't your family's property; I can go wherever I want!" Ye Chen was somewhat rascally. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed, and right now, he needed to be shameless.
"You've been following me for three hours and forty-five minutes. If you're not annoyed, I'm about to be annoyed to death by you!" Zhang Xinlan said, going nearly crazy.
Zhang Xinlan's resentment against Ye Chen for his betrayal was so intense she wished she could tear his flesh and drink his blood. She really didn't want to see Ye Chen now, fearing she couldn't restrain herself from literally tearing him apart. But Ye Chen kept popping into her sightline, shamelessly parading his presence, driving her almost insane.
"You're keeping track of the time so precisely; it seems you cherish our wonderful moments together!" Ye Chen praised himself, ready to drop all decencies to win the beauty's forgiveness.
And what's decency anyway? Can you eat it?
"You're really shameless!" Zhang Xinlan grew angrier, and she was also angry with herself for not having discovered this man's hideous true face sooner.
"Wife, stop making a fuss, let's go home!" Ye Chen acted like a nagging woman while Zhang Xinlan seemed the real man.
"Get lost!"
Zhang Xinlan roared angrily and then turned to leave, her figure merging with the crowd of passersby.
"You won't escape from the palm of my hand!" Ye Chen followed closely behind.
Ms. Zhang was fleeing; she really didn't want to see that annoying man. She was determined in her heart never to forgive the man who had deeply wounded her!
Ye Chen was in pursuit; to embrace the left and hold the right, one must pay a price, especially for a peerless beauty like Zhang Xinlan!
On the road.
"Ye Chen, get lost, I will never forgive you!" Ms. Zhang cursed loudly, attracting the attention of countless passersby.
"Wife, don't be angry, you're carrying a baby, getting angry is harmful to your health!" Ye Chen continued to persuade her with a gentle tone, winning silent approval from some onlookers.
"Who's carrying your baby, don't be disgusting!"
"It's you, it's you, it's definitely you!"
The unique interaction between these two feuding parties petrified all the onlookers.
In the restaurant.
"I'm going crazy, can you stop showing me your ugly mug?" Zhang Xinlan was on the verge of a breakdown, looking like she might start smashing plates and bowls, scaring all the restaurant staff.
"Wife, you can't see it now, right?" Ye Chen sat in front of Zhang Xinlan and silently picked up a plate to cover his face.
"..."
In the parking lot.
"Ye Chen, don't block my way, let me go, please!" Zhang Xinlan was almost in tears. She wanted to drive away and get rid of Ye Chen, but unbeknownst to her, as Ye Chen pressed his hands on the car, the four tires were almost grinding to bursting; her car was skidding in place,
"Xinlan, calm down, let's have a heart-to-heart, shall we?" Ye Chen said earnestly.
Zhang Xinlan was still slamming the gas pedal, with the four wheels screeching against the ground, emitting black smoke. But with Ye Chen holding down the car, it remained stationary, skidding in place.
"Bastard, I'll kill you!" Zhang Xinlan was furious; she used to like Ye Chen's gentle violence, but now she hated it.
"Do you really want me dead?" Ye Chen suddenly looked sorrowful, with tears streaking down his cheeks.
"Go die!" Zhang Xinlan shouted angrily; that guy was playing for sympathy again.
"Then drive over me!" Ye Chen said, then retreated swiftly like a ghost dozens of meters away.
"What!" Zhang Xinlan cried out, alarmed, as her foot was still stomping on the gas pedal.
"Hiss~~!~~Hiss~Hiss~~!"
The wheel stopped skidding; no longer held back by a tremendous force, the potent engine power made the car suddenly accelerate!
"Ah, no, Ye Chen, get out of the way!"
Zhang Xinlan let out a series of screams. She wanted to hit the brakes, but in her panic, she truly forgot which one was the brake, so she just floored the gas pedal to the bottom.
Ye Chen watched a panic-stricken Zhang Xinlan with a calm and composed smile, unbothered by the oncoming car barreling towards him.
"Ye Chen, dodge it~!" Zhang Xinlan's tears flowed out.
Ye Chen, as if stupefied, stood there letting Zhang Xinlan drive towards him without even the thought of dodging.
"No!"
Zhang Xinlan screamed, she really wanted to slam on the brakes to stop the car, but in her confusion, she truly didn't know which pedal was the brake.
"Bang!"
Amid Zhang Xinlan's horrified expression, Ye Chen's body was struck by the car, making a muffled noise before being sent flying across the street and then crashing harshly to the ground.
"Hiss~hiss~!"
Zhang Xinlan finally realized which pedal was the brake, she stepped on it without hesitation to the floor, and the car finally stopped a few meters away from where Ye Chen lay.
"Ye Chen, how are you, please don't scare me!"
Zhang Xinlan sobbed as she ran out of the car, having just witnessed Ye Chen being hit and sent flying, spitting blood.
Ye Chen was really sent flying; there was no faking this accident. He lay powerlessly on the ground, his face covered in blood, dark blood oozing from his mouth.
"Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan collapsed to the ground, looking at Ye Chen's miserable state, a torrent of guilt flooding her heart.
Even though Ye Chen had done that with Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan still loved him, even if Su Binglan was pregnant with Ye Chen's child, Zhang Xinlan still loved him.
It was just that, such betrayal would make her infinitely angry.
But, she really didn't want Ye Chen to die!
"Now you've got what you wished for, I'm going to die!"
Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, smiled tragically, looking like he could kick the bucket at any moment.
"Ye Chen, I don't want you to die!" Zhang Xinlan cried hysterically, tears streaming uncontrollably. "I really didn't do it on purpose, I really don't want you to die!"
"Weren't you wishing for my death just now?" Ye Chen said, spitting out blood.
"That was just out of anger, I don't want you to die!" Zhang Xinlan held Ye Chen in her arms. "I really didn't do it on purpose, you must not die!"
"Xinlan, can you forgive me... cough cough cough!" Ye Chen managed to say halfway before suddenly breaking into a severe cough, spitting out blood.
"I forgive you! I forgive you!" Zhang Xinlan nodded vigorously. "You must not die, you must not die!"
Ye Chen didn't know how much blood he had coughed up, turning his white shirt blood red. The sight made Zhang Xinlan feel like she was going to collapse.
"Ambulance, right, an ambulance!" In her panic, Zhang Xinlan remembered she hadn't called for an ambulance. "Ye Chen, you definitely won't die, I won't let you die, I'm going to call an ambulance now to save you!"
"You bad guy, after all those things you did to wrong me, you must not die, you have to live well so that I can torment you!"
Zhang Xinlan fumbled for her phone in a fluster, trying to dial and call for an ambulance.
"It's no use!" Ye Chen lifted his blood-covered hand, stopping Zhang Xinlan from calling an ambulance. "I know my condition, I won't make it. In these last moments, I want to say some words to you."
"Xinlan, I'm sorry for... cough cough cough!" Ye Chen barely managed to get a word out before he started coughing violently again.
"Stop talking about that, don't say anything, conserve your strength, I'll call an ambulance, you'll be okay!" Zhang Xinlan cried.
"I'm really dying," Ye Chen said, his eyes dull.
"You won't die, you definitely won't!" Zhang Xinlan was frantic.
"I hope you won't blame me, forgive my negligent actions!" Ye Chen said weakly.
"I don't blame you, I forgive you!" Zhang Xinlan nodded emphatically.
"Really?" Ye Chen seemed very happy, a bloodied smile spreading across his face, which seemed more like a dying flash of energy.
"Really!" Zhang Xinlan said earnestly.
"If you forgive me, then give me a kiss!" Ye Chen said weakly, as if it were his dying wish.
"Huh?" Zhang Xinlan was taken aback. Was he still in the mood for this even when close to death?
But with Ye Chen's face covered in blood and his body seemingly falling apart, lying on the ground and continuously spouting blood, Zhang Xinlan was momentarily puzzled and then filled with sorrow again.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it!" Zhang Xinlan's heart felt as though it was being torn apart, yet she couldn't bring herself to give him that kiss, with Ye Chen close to death, she simply wasn't in the mood.
Zhang Xinlan was consumed by endless grief, full of regret. She so loved Ye Chen, and yet she was the one who had hit him with the car—an absurd, torturous twist of fate.
"I love you..." Ye Chen lifted his arm, wanting to touch that familiar face, but his arm dropped weakly, hitting the ground.
"Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan screamed as if something terrible had happened.
Ye Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but he no longer had the energy to speak. His eyes faded, and he lay still.
Zhang Xinlan sensed this terrible reality; she didn't continue to scream. She just cried, holding onto Ye Chen's lifeless body, crying fiercely.
"Ye Chen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you with the car!" Zhang Xinlan was overcome with infinite sadness. With Ye Chen dead, what point was there to her life?
"Even though you were involved with that woman, I shouldn't have treated you like this, I regret it, I should have listened to your explanation!" Zhang Xinlan held the "dead" Ye Chen, wept bitterly.
"I've forgiven you, can you come back to life?!"
Zhang Xinlan cried her heart out, her sobs lacking any grace. She couldn't believe that Ye Chen was dead; how could this brute of a man, so existentially extreme, be gone!
"If you're dead, then there's no point in me living, I want to die with you!" Zhang Xinlan steeled her heart.
However, just as she harbored thoughts of death, a pair of strong arms wrapped tightly around her, offering her a sense of comfort.
"This—!"
Zhang Xinlan was instantly stupefied. Wasn't Ye Chen dead, or was this him coming back to life?
