Chu Weiye looked at her forbearing expression and felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He couldn't describe how he felt, but he understood that this was a feeling he had never felt before.
His hand moved and then slowly reached over to press on Bai Lu's shoulder. He frowned and spoke carefully to a woman for the first time. "… If you feel uncomfortable, I'll take you away. I'll get someone to tell you about your mother's surgery. I'll definitely let you know as soon as possible …"
"No need."
Bai Lu's hand gripped the wall so tightly that her fingernails almost fell off. She wanted to control the speed of her speech, but when she spoke, her voice was still broken and trembling. "… I'm fine. I want to wait for my mother to come out of the operating room. I'm fine … really, I'm fine …"
People were like this. The more she emphasized that she was fine, the more fragile her heart was. Perhaps it would break at the slightest touch.
"… Bai Lu."
Chu Weiye pressed on her shoulder and felt that her body was stiff. Her tone was obviously trying to be brave. He had heard everything Liang Feifan and Li Tanglin had said just now. Bai Lu had also heard everything clearly. How could she be fine?
"Don't try to be brave."
He was still not used to saying comforting words. But looking at her forbearing expression, Chu Weiye's heart felt like it had been entangled by a vine. It was tight, uncomfortable, and — — heartache. "… If you need it, you can lean on my shoulder."
"… Thank you."
Bai Lu reached out and covered her eyes. She raised her head slightly and forced back the tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. Then she said slowly, "Chu Weiye, thank you. But I'm fine. I'll wait for my mother to recover and come out … Also, just pretend you didn't know what happened just now, okay?"
In fact, Chu Weiye had always felt that he had not been decisive enough in breaking the relationship between Liang Feifan and Bai Lu.
He clearly wanted this woman, but he was always cowering and didn't dare to take a step forward. Was it just a woman? To Chu Weiye, if he wanted something, he would get it. Was the process important?
But when he faced her, he realized that he had actually been thinking about her feelings the most.
He wanted her to be well and happy … That was why he had gone to such great lengths to invite the most difficult doctor from England. Breakfast? Was this compensation?
…
Only he knew that what he really wanted was to have breakfast with her every day in the future.
"If you don't want Liang Feifan to know, then I won't tell you.
... but there was a hint of bitterness in's's..... ".. But why do you have to put yourself through this? Actually, aren't you curious about what happened back then? . If you want to know, I.. "
.. Bai Lu did not say anything. She reached out to wipe away her tears. Then she lifted her feet and walked out of the corridor.
Liang Feifan had just gotten someone to send Li Tanglin into the elevator. When she looked up, she saw a pale-faced Bai Lu walking over from the opposite side. Chu Weiye followed behind her.
Liang Feifan's brows were tightly knitted together. He pursed his thin lips and went forward. "Are you done eating?"
Bai Lu nodded.
"The surgery will take some time. I'll get someone to prepare a room for you. Do you want to rest?" As he spoke, his gaze swept past Chu Weiye. He saw that there was no expression on his face. Although he was cautious, he was still worried. He carefully observed Bai Lu's expression and said, "Bai Lu, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
"How much longer will the surgery take?"
Bai Lu glanced at the three words "in surgery" and asked Liang Feifan.
"When they sent you in, they said it would take more than six hours. Even the shortest surgery could take more than six hours, so there's no point for you to wait here. I'll get someone to take you to rest in this hospital..."
Bai Lu grabbed Liang Feifan's hand and stared deeply into his eyes. It was clearly not an aggressive gaze, but it seemed to have the power to see through people. She said word by word, "Feifan, come with me."
Liang Feifan glanced at Chu Weiye again. Their gazes met through Bai Lu. It seemed as though both of them were calm, but there was an unfathomable complexity hidden beneath the calmness.
After a moment, Liang Feifan nodded without batting an eyelid. "Okay, you go first. I'll go find you right away. I'll get Guan Chao to wait here."
Bai Lu agreed. Liang Feifan found a nurse and arranged a VIP ward for her to take Bai Lu to rest. He instructed the nurse not to leave before he arrived.
Bai Lu's expression was not right. She walked unsteadily. Liang Feifan frowned and felt a pang of heartache. After she walked away, he looked at Chu Weiye. "When did you come back?"
Chu Weiye lifted his chin slightly and pursed his lips. "It seems that Mr. Liang is quite sharp sometimes. Since you've guessed it, why ask me?"
"You said it was a guess. I'm not sure."
Liang Feifan frowned and sounded annoyed. "Did you let her hear those words on purpose? Chu Weiye, I know that I've been investigating something recently. You've also been investigating something, so you know about Bai Yi's matter, right? "
"You said it was a guess. I'm not sure." Liang Feifan frowned and sounded annoyed. "Did you let her hear those words on purpose? Chu Weiye, I know that I've been investigating something recently. You've also been investigating something, so you know about Bai Yi's matter, right? "
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows and nodded without hesitation. "That's right. I know everything."
Liang Feifan looked at Chu Weiye and pursed his lips coldly. "You've put in a lot of effort. Don't forget that Bai Lu is my Mrs. Liang."
"I've never denied that she's your Mrs. Liang, but I won't hide my feelings either." Chu Weiye looked at Liang Feifan. Both men looked determined to win. He said slowly, "Liang Feifan, I like Bai Lu. So what if she's your wife? You should know that you can't hide what happened 20 years ago forever even if you want to. Some things, the more you want to hide, the easier it is to expose yourself. Can't you see that she just found out something? She won't be happy with you. "
Liang Feifan's gaze turned sharp and his tone became even harsher. "Chu Weiye, I'm telling you. Don't think about using that kind of thing to come between me and Bai Lu. There has never been a 'you' between us. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. … "
With these words, he turned and walked towards the end of the long corridor.
Chu Weiye looked at the firm lines of Liang Feifan's back. There was a complicated look in his deep eyes. There was also loneliness after the solemn vow.
…
Yes, there was no third party between them. Even if he wanted to come between them, he wouldn't be able to.
Bai Lu sat on the sofa with her eyes lowered as she played with the purple hair clip in her hand.
She closed her eyes slightly as Li Tanglin's heart-wrenching voice rang in her ears once again.
— — Why should I lose to her in everything? More than 20 years ago, the man I loved lost to her. Even now, she won't even tell me how Bai Yi died …
— — What does her car accident have to do with me? If she had been willing to tell me back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way. It definitely wouldn't have turned out this way …
…
She finally understood why she saw Li Tanglin when she went to the back of the mountain to see her father. She finally understood the question that she had always been puzzled over.
So, more than 20 years ago, her father actually had a relationship with Li Tanglin. Even now, she still couldn't forget about it. Her mother had refused to tell her the cause of her father's death. That was why she lost control and kept pulling her mother at the entrance of the cafe that day. In the end, her mother was hit by a car …
The corners of Bai Lu's mouth twitched. Her hand that was holding the purple hair clip froze instinctively. She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment. It was a complex mix of emotions that couldn't be described with words. The only word she could think of was — — melodramatic!
When Liang Feifan pushed the door open and entered, Bai Lu was sitting alone on the sofa. The room that was prepared for her was a VIP ward. It was well-equipped, but she didn't turn on the lights. Although it was daytime, the curtains were drawn, and the room was pitch-black. It was as though there was an indescribable sadness in this pitch-black environment.
Liang Feifan held back his sigh and turned on the light at the entrance. The light instantly replaced the darkness. Bai Lu instinctively frowned and narrowed her eyes. She heard the sound of the door closing, followed by steady footsteps that gradually approached.
"Bai Lu."
Liang Feifan sat down. He frowned when he saw the hair clip in her hand. "Take a break? Your mother should be able to leave the operating room before you board the plane tonight. "
Bai Lu quietly put away her hair clip. Although her actions seemed casual, Liang Feifan could tell that she was being very careful.
She raised her head and looked at him. Her tone was exceptionally calm. "Feifan, this was what I originally thought. I would pretend that I didn't know anything. Then, as long as my mother was safe, I would board the plane to England and go to SGA. Perhaps I would be gone for a year and a half. I wasn't sure what would happen after that, but I just wanted to believe in you. I wanted to believe that you would take care of everything, even if it was my mother's problem. I clearly knew that what I was doing was unfair to my mother, but I kept convincing myself that my mother would definitely understand my decision. But just now, when I heard your conversation with your mother, I realized that I had actually been holding it in. This is a hurdle in my heart. If I can't get over it, I won't be able to leave in peace. "
