In Zhai Yunsheng’s office.
Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yubo were sitting opposite each other. They were both seated in front of a French window.
“You’re very despicable,” Jian Yubo said.
“Heh,” Zhai Yunsheng laughed. He did not get angry at this comment. “I was never a good person, to begin with. Furthermore, no one from the Zhai family is a good person. However, you’re not a good person either.”
“You cajoled her,” Jian Yubo said. He was stating a fact.
“Yeah, I did. I admit to that,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. “I got engaged to her through despicable means. Furthermore, I also used those means to keep her by my side. I knew that she would say yes to me.”
“She feels indebted to you. Furthermore, she knows your health condition. Therefore, she hopes to save you. As a result, she said yes to you.”
“And so what?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He gave Jian Yubo an evil smile: “Do you want to stop me?”
“I can’t stop you.”
If he could, Jian Yubo would have long ago stopped this from happening.
For him, having a clear mind was sometimes a very painful thing.
He knew the merits and drawbacks. He knew what he could do and what he could not do.
Furthermore, he had no right to interfere with her decision in the first place.
As long as she wanted to do something, he had no other choice but to support her.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yubo for a moment. Then, he said: “She wants you to come back.”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yubo was silent for a long time.
Then, he replied quietly: “I will watch over her.”
He would watch her every step in life.
He would watch her be happy.
For him, that was already enough.
Zhai Yunsheng smiled when he heard this. In other words, Jian Yubo was not leaving this time.
He knew his little rabbit would be incredibly happy to hear this news.
And thus, Zhai Yunsheng invited Jian Yubo to dinner.
Jian Yiling was preparing the meal.
After a moment, Jian Yubo said yes to Zhai Yunsheng’s invitation.
Perhaps, deep in his heart, he wanted to get a little closer to that ray of light in his life.
###
In the evening, Jian Yubo arrived at Zhai Yunsheng’s apartment.
Jian Yichen and Luo Xun were there already.
As Jian Yichen lived next door, he would basically know anything that happened in Zhai Yunsheng’s apartment.
Furthermore, he would frequently come over for food. After all, who wouldn’t want free food?
Whenever Yiling cooked, he was never missing from the dinner table.
He would not miss an opportunity to stop Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling from hanging out on their own.
This time around, he also dragged Luo Xun along.
Currently, Jian Yiling was cooking in the kitchen. However, the people in the living room all had their own thoughts.
Jian Yichen was enthusiastically encouraging Luo Xun to help Jian Yiling in the kitchen.
However, Luo Xun decided against that. He knew that Jian Yiling was getting engaged to Zhai Yunsheng. As a result, he did not want to interfere with their relationship.
Luo Xun had quite a good impression of Jian Yiling. However, he only saw Jian Yiling as a little sister. It had nothing to do with romance.
He wanted to protect her. And thus, he did not want to cause her any trouble.
And thus, even though Jian Yichen hinted at him to do something many times, Luo Xun refused to do anything.
Zhai Yunsheng ignored Jian Yichen as well. Regardless of what he did, his little rabbit’s heart would not beat rapidly for Luo Xun.
On the other side of the room, Jian Yubo sat there quietly.
Jian Yichen had been boisterous ever since young. He had not changed at all.
However, the noise and excitement did not suit Jian Yubo.
Jian Yichen glanced over at Jian Yubo. He realized that Jian Yubo was as silent as usual. In fact, it was as though he was surrounded or even submerged by an isolated and detached atmosphere.
In his past life, Jian Yichen only knew the reason for Jian Yubo’s personality a long time after everything had happened.
However, back then, it was already too late. He couldn’t change anything.
This time, everyone was still around. He still had the time and opportunity to change things.
