"Why?"
Ye Huanyan's voice was filled with shock.
Bai Lan was the second male lead in "Remaining Life." He was Guan Ju's childhood sweetheart. He had a good temper and a good personality. He worked hard as a spare tire without complaint, but he couldn't warm up Guan Ju's heart, which had been broken by Ling Shuangqing. Even at the end of the movie, he still couldn't truly let go of Guan Ju. He was alone for the rest of his life.
She thought that a proud and arrogant man like Ling Han wouldn't like such a spineless man.
However, Ling Han asked her a question that had nothing to do with what she was asking.
"If we could go back in time to the day we first met, how would you have spent the next ten years?"
In his pocket, Ye Huanyan's hand visibly tightened.
"I don't like these hypothetical questions. I just want to live in the present and think about the future."
There were a lot of painful memories in the past that people didn't dare to think about. The more they thought about it, the more their hearts hurt. Some painful memories couldn't be erased. Even if they had strong feelings now, they couldn't erase the traces of the past that had been repaired.
"If I could go back in time to that day, I would choose not to provoke you."
Ling Han answered his own question.
Ye Huanyan's expression changed. She was about to pull her hand out, but Ling Han was prepared. He had already grabbed her hand and pressed it into his pocket.
"If I didn't provoke you, from that day on, ten years later, when you met Lu Shen again, you would have been very happy. You wouldn't have suffered so much."
Ye Huanyan's heart trembled as she asked.
She asked, "Can you bear to do that?"
"I can't bear to." Ling Han's voice was a little muffled.
"Then why did you..." Ye Huanyan's face was still angry, but when she saw Ling Han's tightly furrowed brows, she lost her temper.
All these years, she wasn't the only one who had suffered.
She left with a clear conscience and came back majestically.
She left Ling Han alone. After finding out the truth, he lived in guilt and self-blame. After she came back, he had changed tremendously. Everything other than her became secondary. Everyone other than her became secondary.
There was a thorn in his heart that grew upside down. Every time he recalled the past, it would poke his heart until it bled incessantly.
He would rather have the woman he loved grow old with someone else than have her hurt by his own hands.
Ye Huanyan did not ask further, nor did she continue the topic. She only moved closer to Ling Han and sniffed. "Let's go. Everyone at home is waiting for us to eat. My phone has been vibrating a few times. I feel like my mom is rushing us."
"Yes."
The cold wind blew. Snow fluttered in the sky and covered the entire Lanjiang City. It became quiet, plain, and pure white. It returned to its original clean appearance.
We can't decorate our memories, but we can decorate our current lives. Then, I believe that one day, one day in the future, when we recall the past again, the first thing that comes to mind is not the painful failures in our memories, but the happiness that has accumulated to the point of overflowing.
On New Year's Eve.
Ling Li finished purchasing the New Year goods and cleaned up Xi Yuan with the help of Gu Min. At night, when the family was busy pasting the Spring Festival couplets, Ling Han picked up Ling Dongyu and his family from the airport.
The black MPV was parked at the entrance. Ling Li brushed two layers of paste on it and pasted two red Spring Festival couplets on it.
"How are you going to drive when you've pasted them like this?"
Ling Zhan rolled his eyes at Ling Li and was about to tear the couplets apart.
He had been recuperating for more than a month after the surgery and had basically recovered. However, Fu Yingxiang did not allow him to walk around casually. After all, it was too cold outside. What if he froze?
It was rare that his parents were coming back on New Year's Eve. Fu Yingxiang used the excuse of going out to buy things and did not come back for a long time. No one was watching him, so he strolled out. He stared at his sister pasting the Spring Festival couplets while looking at the road.
He did not expect that his parents, younger siblings, and younger siblings would come back before Fu Yingxiang.
Seeing that Ling Zhan was about to tear the couplets apart, Ling Li hurriedly stopped him and shouted, "You're so unlucky. How can you be like this? Where do you plan to go on New Year's Eve? Don't go anywhere. Stay at home. The car is not needed anymore. Later, park it in the garage. "
"You're still so enthusiastic."
Ling Zhan had always been too lazy to pay attention to Ling Li's fallacious reasoning and unraveled a corner of the Spring Festival couplets.
"Hey, Older Sister Xiao Ying, you …"
Ling Zhan suddenly straightened his body. His face was full of joy as he turned around and said,
"Xiao Ying …"
There was no Xiao Ying. Only Ling Xue was left. She looked at her brother with a smile and a mischievous look on her face. "Brother, who is Older Sister Xiao Ying? Is she our future sister-in-law? "
Ling Zhan's face turned pale.
Chris was holding Little Bean's hand. When he heard this, he also looked at him in confusion.
"You have a girlfriend?"
Ling Zhan's face turned even paler.
To be honest, he had not thought of how to tell his family about this.
"Ling Zhan is not young anymore. When I was his age, I already had him. Okay, let's go inside. It's not cold."
Ling Dongyu spoke up at the right time to save his son.
When he left, he gave his son a meaningful look. It was unknown if he already knew something.
"Hey, Brother."
Ling Zhan grabbed Ling Han's hand. He looked conflicted.
Ling Han stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him. "We can't help you with this matter, and no one is forcing you. If you don't have the guts to tell the family about this, I think Fourth Sister won't pester you."
"Go?" Ling Zhan's face changed. "Go where?"
"Fourth Sister will be living in an apartment in the city center for the next two days. She will come back after the Chinese New Year."
Ling Han explained calmly and did not say anything else.
"What?"
Ling Zhan's face darkened. "Why is she going to the apartment? Why isn't she at home for the Chinese New Year? Didn't we agree … "
Seeing that this kid was so stubborn, Ling Han looked at him seriously.
"Then who do you think she is to introduce herself to Second Uncle and the others? Is she your girlfriend or is she just Yan Yan's fourth sister? "
"Wasn't she …"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, she could be Yan Yan's good sister, and she could also be Yan Yan's mother's adopted daughter. But now, if you use these two identities to introduce her, you will undoubtedly deny her other identity. You and her will come to an end."
Fu Yingxiang obviously did not want to come to an end so quickly, so she chose to avoid this matter for the time being.
Ling Zhan was young and mature, but he was not as thoughtful as Fu Yingxiang, who was more than ten years older than him.
He only thought that it was a rare occasion for the Chinese New Year. If his parents did not agree, it would make the Chinese New Year unpleasant and everyone would be unhappy. He only wanted to discuss it with his family after the Chinese New Year.
But he did not expect there to be so many reasons.
Everyone else was celebrating Naonnao's Chinese New Year. Did he want her to spend the Chinese New Year alone in an apartment in the city center?
He could not bear it.
"Where are you going?"
Ling Han asked.
"The apartment in the city center."
After saying this, Ling Zhan drove away in the black MPV with the festive stickers on the windshield.
