Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 144: Final Farewell (1)

Lan Xi showed a helpless and bitter smile on her face. Fate always likes to play tricks on people. Lan Xi stared at Ye Chen in front of her, and her thoughts drifted back to Gu Tingyan involuntarily. If they had been braver at the beginning, would the ending be different now? Thinking of this, Lan Xi's heart ached like a knife.

Deep in Lanxi's subconscious, Wuyou's consciousness always exists. Whenever Wuyou feels happy or sad, Lanxi can also clearly feel these emotions. Lanxi can no longer control her emotions. Lanxi reaches out and gently touches Yechen's face. They look at each other silently, with thousands of words in their eyes. Yechen holds Lanxi's hand tightly, as if to pass all his thoughts and pain to each other.

However, Lan Xi suddenly had a splitting headache and her eyes became blurry and hazy. When Lan Xi looked at Ye Chen again, her eyes changed.

"Yechen, are you doing well?" Lan Xi asked slowly, with a hint of confusion and bewilderment in her voice.

Ye Chen shook his head gently, tears welling up in his eyes: "You'er, when I learned from my royal brother that you were married, I truly understood what heartache was. The pain of losing a loved one follows me like a shadow, and every day I'm trapped in a vortex of self-blame. If I hadn't left without saying goodbye, perhaps we wouldn't have come to this point today..." Ye Chen's words were filled with endless regret and sorrow.

"Ye Chen, you don't have to feel remorseful or guilty, because I know very well that you have your own reasons. However, it seems that the fate between us has not yet arrived, and we are destined not to be together. Thinking back to when you left without saying goodbye, when I saw the letter you wrote to me, I felt extremely disappointed in you. I once hated you, but deep in my heart I still love you deeply."

Ye Chen looked at me in confusion and said that he had never written to me. Wuyou smiled bitterly and explained, "All of this was just a lie my father made up to get me to go back. He told me that you were someone he had specially found to deceive me. Only in this way could I realize the evilness of people's hearts in this world. A woman like me doesn't deserve anyone's love at all."

"At that time, I believed my father's words and returned to the Ye Mansion. Although I hated you, I always believed in my heart that you would give me a reasonable explanation in person."

"Until that day, my father took me to see your body. You were no longer recognizable at that time. It was only when I saw the token I gave you that I finally confirmed that it was you. That day, I thought about it for a long time and even wanted to leave with you. However, God seemed unwilling to let me meet you and let me barely survive. It was not until my father asked me to marry Xiao Chuhan in place of my eldest sister that I realized that only by marrying Xiao Chuhan could I escape the shackles of this fate."

"But fate played a trick on me again. Xiao Chuhan took me to the South Country, where I saw Ye Jinxiu who looked just like you. He told me everything, and I saw you again. When I learned that you still had a chance to wake up, I was extremely happy. As long as you can wake up, I am willing to do anything you ask me to do."

"Now, seeing you standing in front of me in good health, I feel very satisfied. But there is no possibility between us anymore."

"You'er..."

"Ye Chen, please listen to me. Before I met you, I thought I would spend my life in a muddle, but your appearance was like a ray of light, breaking through the darkness and bringing warmth. You let me see the hope of life."

"It's a pity that we are like two parallel lines that can never intersect. Yechen, this will be the last time we meet, promise me that you must live a good life. No matter what happens, you must protect yourself. Not only do you have me, but you also have your royal brother who loves you deeply and has given everything for you."

Lan Xi could no longer speak, tears had already soaked her eyes.

Ye Chen came to Lan Xi and hugged her tightly. At this moment, Ye Chen had waited for a long, long time, as if time had stopped flowing. Lan Xi felt Ye Chen's warm embrace, her heart filled with complicated emotions. Lan Xi couldn't tell whether she was Wu You or Ye Lan Xi at this moment, she only knew how much she hoped that time could stay at this moment forever, so that she could cherish every minute and every second with Ye Chen.

However, reason eventually prevailed over emotion, and Lan Xi gradually came to her senses. Lan Xi realized her identity. After all, she was now Xiao Chuhan's wife. She had come to see Ye Chen without telling Xiao Chuhan, and her heart was already filled with guilt. How could she hug Ye Chen so intimately? Lan Xi seemed to have come back to her senses. She saw that she was still in Ye Chen's arms, and immediately struggled to break free.

"Ye Chen, now that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved, let's just live our own lives in the future. You have your life, and I have mine." Lan Xi's voice was filled with helplessness and determination.

Ye Chen's heart hurt like a needle, but he understood Wuyou's situation at the moment. Although he felt endless reluctance in his heart, he was powerless. If he insisted on taking Wuyou away, once Xiao Chuhan knew about it, it would definitely put the two countries in trouble. He couldn't let his brother fall into a dilemma because of his impulse.

But the person in front of him was the woman he loved deeply! How could he give up so easily? Ye Chen looked at Lan Xi, his eyes full of pain and reluctance. However, he knew he had to make a choice, even if it would break his heart.
