Sheng Anran was a smart person. After carefully connecting the dots with Ye Huanyan's words, she more or less understood her situation and the reason for it.
She took the initiative to untie Ye Huanyan. Qiao Mu tried to stop her, but she turned around and stood in front of Ye Huanyan. "Qiao Mu, I've thought about it. I'll go with you, but I want to finish filming this movie."
Ye Huanyan looked at the back of the figure blocking her in astonishment. She could not see Sheng Anran's expression, but she saw the astonishment on Qiao Mu's face gradually turn placid. He slowly curled his lips, revealing a very gentle smile. He opened his mouth and uttered, "Okay."
After untying the ropes, Ye Huanyan moved her arms and extended her hand toward Qiao Mu. "Where's my bag?"
Qiao Mu quickly bent down and took out Ye Huanyan's bag from under the desk.
A trace of envy flashed through Sheng Anran's eyes. There were even tears in her eyes, but she could not help but cry out in surprise.
"How did you get Gucci's latest bag?"
Ye Huanyan tugged at her lips. This woman was truly as crazy about all kinds of luxury bags as the news said. "Our relationship doesn't seem to be good enough to talk about bags together."
Sheng Anran looked resentful and lowered her head in embarrassment. However, she still could not help but take a few more glances at her bag from the corner of her eyes.
She flipped open her phone and saw that there were indeed missed calls from Ji Xiaoyue.
"I'm leaving first. I still have something to do. Report to the set tomorrow morning."
After glancing at Sheng Anran, she walked out of the room and returned Ji Xiaoyue's call.
"Where are you?"
Ji Xiaoyue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The sanatorium. I'm just about to come out. I was just with Qiao Mu …"
"Aiya, don't come out …" Ji Xiaoyue's voice inexplicably lowered. "Ling Han is in the sanatorium. If he knows that you came to find Qiao Mu, won't your identity be exposed?"
"What?" Ye Huanyan paled. "Why would he come to find Qiao Mu?"
"I'll tell you about it when you come out. I'll circle around the sanatorium. If there's a back door, I'll wait for you there. Don't come out from the front door, or you'll run into them."
Ji Xiaoyue urged on the other end of the phone.
"Hello … hello?"
The phone was busy.
Ye Huanyan stood in the corridor and looked at the tall and hurried figure at the entrance of the courtyard. She revealed a stiff smile. At this time, if she said that it was a coincidence, it would make her seem especially stupid.
Therefore, she calmly walked down the stairs and walked towards him. "President Ling, you're too late. I've already settled the matter."
Ling Han frowned and looked into the room. "What did you solve?"
"Sheng Anran has agreed to continue filming Remaining Life."
"She's here?" Ling Han stared at her, his tone very aggressive. "Why is she here? And why do you know she's here? "
Just as they were talking, two people walked out of the room. They were probably mentally prepared as they calmly walked behind Ye Huanyan.
Qiao Mu held Sheng Anran's shoulder without any hesitation. She frowned, her eyes full of guilt. "President Ling … we."
"I wasn't asking you." Ling Han merely glanced at them indifferently before his gaze returned to Ye Huanyan's face. He had just found out about Qiao Mu and Sheng Anran's relationship, but it was not important to him right now. "I'm asking you. Why do you know so much?"
"Don't forget who I am." Ye Huanyan raised her eyebrows and smiled magnanimously. "As the second miss of the Gu Family, if you can't even find someone, then don't embarrass yourself here. As for your ex-girlfriend and your ex-assistant, I don't think it's convenient for me to know. It seems a bit awkward for me to be here. If you don't mind, I'll leave first."
Ling Han did not stop her and only turned around to watch her quickly disappear from his sight. Then, he slowly returned to his senses and sized up the couple in front of him. Finally, his gaze landed on Qiao Mu's face. "When did this happen?"
His voice was very low, but his tone was very calm. "I …"
There were many things that were difficult to say, and that was the case for Qiao Mu.
However, Sheng Anran did not. She coldly gazed at Ling Han and remained composed. "We got together five years ago. The things that Qiao Mu did before actually had nothing to do with him. I was the one who made him do it. I was the one who threatened him to do it. I used the video of me sleeping with him."
A cold glint surfaced in Ling Han's eyes. "Is that so? It has nothing to do with him at all? Then why did he defend you with all his might when I asked him why he did those things? "
Qiao Mu's face was pale. She gritted her teeth but did not know what to say.
Sheng Anran held his arm, and her gaze became more resolute. "You don't have to be so overbearing. It's true that I did wrong, but Ye Huanyan has always been loyal and devoted to you. I created a misunderstanding between you and Ye Huanyan and even caused the death of her child. This is my sin, and I will bear it. However, this is what I owe Ye Huanyan. We don't owe you anything."
Ling Han stood at the entrance to the courtyard and coldly looked at Qiao Mu, as if waiting for his response.
He and Sheng Anran were just putting on a show. Indeed, there was no such thing as anyone owing anyone anything. They both brought it upon themselves, and it was the cycle of karma.
However, he was different from Qiao Mu. They were university classmates and had worked together for many years. Qiao Mu owed him an explanation.
Under the corridor, the night breeze gently brushed past. Qiao Mu pulled his arm out of Sheng Anran's grasp and walked down the stairs alone to stand in front of Ling Han. He walked slowly, but if one looked closely, it could be seen that one of his legs was inconvenienced.
"Sorry, Ling Han."
He stood in front of him, less than half a meter away.
The scene seemed to have turned back to many years ago on the football field of America's H University. When he accidentally kicked the football into Ling Han's face, his apologetic attitude was simple and sincere. It was just a few words.
"Sorry, Ling Han."
At that time, Ling Han only climbed up from the ground and kicked the ball back to the field. Then, after the game ended, he gave him a hug. "You played well. Let's go drink."
He really wanted to go back to that year, but he already felt that it was a matter of his previous life.
Ling Han looked at him, and his cold gaze gradually relaxed. He then asked, "Tell me, is it her?"
Qiao Mu was stunned for a few seconds before nodding dazedly. "It's her. She's back."
Ling Han curled his lips, his face full of gentleness. He turned and walked in the direction she disappeared to, leaving behind a sentence with his back to Qiao Mu. "Since she's back, then I accept your apology and forgive you."
Qiao Mu stood in place. He was 1.8 meters tall, but he swayed in the breeze, almost unable to stand. Sheng Anran hastily went down the stairs and supported him. "Are you okay?"
Qiao Mu shook his head, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. No one could understand the complicated feelings in his heart.
He was thankful that she was still alive. He was thankful that he still had the chance to obtain Ling Han's forgiveness while he was still alive.
"Do you care about his forgiveness that much?" Sheng Anran frowned. "I always thought that he was only your boss."
Qiao Mu took a deep breath and held her shoulder. His voice was hoarse. "Anran, did I tell you before that I was an orphan and didn't have many friends since I was young? Ling Han is my first true friend."
