Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 145: Final Farewell (2)

"I'm leaving!" Lan Xi tried to suppress the pain in her heart. Her face was as pale as paper and her lips were trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then she turned around and prepared to leave. However, Ye Chen seemed to have anticipated her action. He quickly reached out his hand and hugged Lan Xi tightly in his arms.

Lan Xi was startled by Ye Chen's sudden action. She tried to struggle to escape, but Ye Chen's embrace became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. Lan Xi's heart was full of contradictions and pain. She knew she couldn't do this. She was already married, and the relationship between them had long surpassed the boundaries of ordinary friends. Such behavior was really inappropriate.

"Let me go!" Lan Xi shouted in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and determination in her voice.

"I am already married, it is inappropriate for us to do this!"

"You'er..." Ye Chen's voice was low and magnetic, as if it contained endless affection and attachment.

"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment? I am unwilling to see you become someone else's wife... You'er, do you really love him?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing Lan Xi's heart and making her fall into silence instantly. She didn't know whether she really loved Xiao Chuhan. Maybe Wuyou had loved Xiao Chuhan before... But now, everything has become unclear.

"You'er, is he really good to you?" Ye Chen was reluctant to let go of Lan Xi. He was afraid that if he let go, they would never see each other again. His eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, as if without Lan Xi, the whole world would become dark and gloomy.

Lan Xi silently watched Ye Chen. She could feel the pain and unwillingness in his heart. She knew she couldn't answer this question for Wuyou, because she wasn't sure how deep Wuyou's feelings for Xiao Chuhan were. However, if she didn't go back and was discovered by Xiao Chuhan, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Lan Xi said softly: "Ye Chen, since the day I married Xiao Chuhan, I decided to treat him with my heart. He treats me sincerely, how can I betray him?" After saying that, Lan Xi used all her strength and finally broke free from Ye Chen's arms. Lan Xi turned around and looked at Ye Chen firmly, with a trace of tears in her eyes.

Lan Xi knew in her heart that no matter how hard they tried, they could never go back to the good old days.

"Why can't we look forward?" Lan Xi murmured to herself, with a hint of helplessness in her voice. They should not stay in the memories of the past, but should face the future bravely.

If Xiao Chuhan knew all this, Ye Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He could imagine the possible consequences. However, You'er's appearance made him feel that his life became meaningful. Originally, he thought that as long as he saw You'er happy, he could leave with peace of mind, but after meeting her, Ye Chen couldn't let it go. Facts proved that he was wrong. He simply couldn't stand seeing his beloved woman accompany another man.

Ye Chen held You'er's hand tightly, his eyes full of expectation: "You'er, as long as you are willing, I can take you away from here. No one will disturb us, and we can start over."

Lan Xi shook off Ye Chen's hand with force, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ye Chen, I can leave with you, but have you ever thought that your brother will face everything alone? We can't be so selfish. You are no longer a child. You need to consider the consequences before doing anything, do you understand?"

Lan Xi was right, and Ye Chen knew it very well. However, his heart was filled with resentment and pain. It seemed that their fate had been predetermined and they could not be together, which made him feel heartbroken.

Ye Chen's heartache hit him like a tide, Lan Xi looked at him distressedly, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. Lan Xi knew Ye Chen's deep affection for Wu You, but the reality was so cruel that they could not easily break free from the shackles.

"You'er, as long as you still have some feelings for me in your heart, please give me some time! I will definitely come up with a win-win solution to solve the problem between us, please believe me!"

Ye Chen couldn't bear to give up this last chance easily, because he always believed that Wuyou still loved him. The reason why she chose to marry Xiao Chuhan was just to escape the tragic fate. Only by becoming the queen of Chu could she be admired and respected by everyone and no longer be bullied by her family.

Lan Xi silently stared at Ye Chen in front of her. In Lan Xi's cognition, Ye Chen has always been a free and strong person, but since he met Wuyou, he has broken all his principles. People always become so fragile in front of love. At this moment, Ye Chen made Lan Xi think of Gu Tingyan. Both of them have lost the love of their lives, and their hearts are filled with endless pain.

However, what can Lan Xi do? She can never become Wuyou, let alone fall in love with Ye Chen or anyone in Ye Chen.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Lan Xi's mind: Perhaps, she could tell Ye Chen the truth, so that he would stop thinking about Wu You. Only by letting Ye Chen know the whole truth, he could cheer up again and continue to face the future bravely, instead of indulging in the memories of the past and refusing to come out.
