Li Baiqian had been frantically searching for Xiao Yanyan recently. Ever since their brief affair, he couldn't forget her. With Zhao Yuming's incident, his emotions were particularly stirred.
He spent a lot of money but couldn't find Xiao Yanyan, fearing she might have met with misfortune. He couldn't sleep or eat, and his days felt like years, filled with smoking and drinking.
Just then, a message popped up on his phone, telling him to go to the abandoned warehouse in the south of the city if he wanted to see Xiao Yanyan. Without a second thought, he drove there.
"Yanyan, where are you? Come out quickly. Are you angry with me because of what happened that day? Is that why you don't want to see me? I'll behave better from now on."
"Li Baiqian, why is it you?"
"Who are you?"
"Stop the nonsense. I'm asking why you're here."
Zhao Xianming wore a grim expression, extremely displeased. He had transferred all his assets to Jun Jiuli.
He had bought this abandoned factory with the intention of spending his life with Xiao Yanyan here.
Yesterday, he had seen Yanyan in the hospital. She didn't seem to mind his current appearance; in fact, she didn't notice anything wrong with him at all. She was still as gentle, considerate, and caring towards him.
She had said it was all her brother's coercion and that she had no choice. Her decisive rejection in front of her brother that day was because she feared he might harm her.
She was right! Just like their father, who had died at her brother's hands. Yanyan loved him, and everything she did was for him.
His sister had calculated that their horoscopes were incompatible. Insisting on being together would lead to a romantic disaster, so she had specifically chosen this auspicious location for him.
A small talisman could make Yanyan love him again. He completely believed his sister's superstitious talk.
He didn't care where she learned these methods; as long as they worked, the lost assets were insignificant compared to Yanyan.
How could he not be enraged by another man trespassing into this place he considered his love nest, calling out the name of his beloved?
"Yanyan asked me to come."
"You're talking rubbish. Yanyan's heart belongs only to me."
"You're Zhao Xianming, hahaha~ You've turned into this, and you still think you deserve Yanyan's love?"
"I'm willing to give up everything for her. How could I not deserve it?" Zhao Xianming sized Li Baiqian up.
"Heh, you think you're any better? Wearing a wig, is it? I could smell your bad breath from miles away."
Li Baiqian hurriedly took a piece of gum from his pocket and started chewing.
"Even with a few flaws, what does it matter? Yanyan still doesn't mind me."
"Heh, do you have proof?"
Enraged, Li Baiqian pulled out his phone and waved the message in front of Zhao Xianming.
Zhao Xianming, furious, snatched his phone and smashed it to pieces. The two of them began to fight.
Xiao Yanyan looked at the message Zhao Xianming had sent on her phone, glanced at Sun Yanwu who was busy in the kitchen, and after weighing the pros and cons, she chose the former.
Sun Yanwu had lost his family's support, and they had been living frugally here lately. Xiao Yanyan, having been accustomed to a good life with Zhao Yuming, was somewhat dissatisfied with her current situation.
In comparison, Zhao Xianming was rich, handsome, and loved her to the point of obsession. With a mere wave of her hand, he would bring anything to her.
"Wu, I have to go out for something. I won't be eating at home."
"Yanyan darling, where are you going? Rumors are flying outside, and it's not safe for you. Shall your husband accompany you?"
Sun Yanwu, beaming with happiness, brought out the dishes. He felt that these recent days were the happiest of his life.
The person he loved most was by his side, and Xiao Yanyan belonged to him completely. Just seeing her smile filled him with contentment.
"Can I have a little personal space? I'm not going out to do anything bad."
"My dearest wife, how could I dare to restrict you? Then go and come back quickly. I'll have dinner ready for you."
Xiao Yanyan pinched his cheek. "Such a good boy."
Entering the hospital and finding the room, Xiao Yanyan knocked and walked in.
"Xianming, what did you want to see me about?"
Upon looking up and seeing the wrong person, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong room."
"Don't go, Yanyan. Can you stay and keep me company?"
Xiao Yanyan looked at him with confusion. "Do you know me?"
She looked closely at his handsome face again. "You're Yan Yuheng. How rude of me, we've met before."
"It's alright, this is quite normal. After all, we only met once. It's my fortune that Yanyan remembers me. I'm just a good-for-nothing abandoned by everyone now."
"How can you say that? Everyone needs to look forward. You have such a good family background; your starting point is higher than countless others."
"What's the use of a high starting point? I don't know how many people are secretly mocking me for being crippled."
"How can you think that way? Everyone is kind. Just like now, I'm misunderstood, but I still have to live earnestly and happily every day. That's the only way to be worthy of my time on this earth."
"You live like sunshine, making me feel so warm. In fact, the first time we met, I fell hopelessly in love with you. Thank you for staying and talking with me for so long."
Xiao Yanyan's face flushed, and she was filled with bewilderment, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.
"You don't need to feel uncomfortable. I know I'm not worthy of you at this moment." He then looked dejected, lost in thought.
"No, you are very outstanding."
Yan Yuheng's eyes seemed to light up. "My sunshine, can I have you, just once?"
Looking at his devout plea, as if he worshipped her as a deity, Xiao Yanyan was somewhat touched and shyly nodded. More men meant more opportunities.
...
"Missy, where shall we go shopping today?"
"Ahhh, sister's beauty is killing it. I really want to kiss sister. Winning prizes is no longer important."
"The one upstairs knows how to talk."
"Hahaha, yesterday I won a handbag from a certain brand. Hehe, I won't compete for spots today. Just here to support my sister, hahaha~"
"The one upstairs knows how to show off."
The original host used to put her unused items in the comments section for fans to win. Jun Jiuli continued this habit. She found the daily banter among netizens quite amusing.
In the past two days, she had taken netizens shopping at various malls, and after buying things, she would put items she didn't like in the comments for everyone to win.
However, there would be no special offers today; she was taking her beloved viewers to catch someone cheating. Hahaha~
"We're not going shopping today; I'm going to see my fiancé."
"Oh right, sister's fiancé is still in the hospital. Let's send our regards to our future brother-in-law too."
"Sister is so outstanding, I wonder what kind of person she'd have to be to deserve her devotion and unwavering loyalty."
"Attached photo, haven't you seen it? Young Master Yan and sister come from well-known families. Sister will never be wronged after marrying into the family."
"But Yan Yuheng's legs are broken..."
"Don't say things like that. Yan Yuheng must be excellent in other aspects, which is why sister's choice of him is so firm."
"Blessings to both of them. My damned romantic obsession is acting up again. This must be true love, right? I hope sister is forever happy."
"Forever happy."
