Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Tired of Living
"Ji Wei?"
Leng Yan’s heart, which had just been filled with a glimmer of hope, sank again. The veins in his temples throbbed as his fingers clenched his phone, turning his knuckles white.
Do you know who is the last person he wants to see now? Do you know whose voice he hates to hear the most?
He hated himself for meddling. Let Ji Wei drink all she wants, he shouldn’t have interfered! Otherwise, how could things have escalated to this point!
"My phone broke when it fell in the car. Yan, I just wanted to ask if you’ve found Wen Nuan?" Ji Wei’s eyes brimmed with tears, her chest ached as if being tortured. Why, at this moment, couldn’t he even offer her a word of comfort?
After witnessing the scene that morning, shouldn’t he see her as a victim too and offer her some solace? But no, his mind was filled with Wen Nuan, without a trace of her. He didn’t even ask if it hurt when Wen Nuan slapped her.
She tried to comfort herself that Leng Yan was just too shaken to notice her, but the words that came through the receiver dealt her another heavy blow.
"No."
Leng Yan coldly answered, intending to hang up. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Make sure to take your medicine! Ji Wei, I hope last night’s incident doesn’t leave any consequences."
If he were to have a child, it would have to be with Wen Nuan.
Such a cold voice, such a heartless person!
Ji Wei bit her lip, crying: "You don’t have to tell me, I’ve already taken it. I know it was just an accident, but did I want it? I drank, my senses were numb, and you mistook me for Wen Nuan, boo hoo... I was also confused, I even thought it was a dream. I only realized in the morning that it really happened. Yan, can’t you be kinder to me?"
"I..." Leng Yan gritted his teeth, "My mind is in a mess right now, Ji Wei, don’t call me for the time being. I need to find Nuannuan, I’m really worried about her, give me some space." Leng Yan coldly hung up the phone without hesitation, then slapped himself hard!
Alcohol...
Indeed, it’s a treacherous thing!
It must have been because he was thinking about Wen Nuan all last night that under the influence of alcohol, he lost his judgment and mistook Ji Wei for Wen Nuan...

"Doctor, how is she?" Wen Nuan was pushed into the hospital room, and the doctor came out shortly after. Tan Qing and Tong Xi rushed forward, urgently asking.
Wen Nuan had always been in great health, her sudden collapse really worried them.
"There’s not much of an issue. She has a slight fever and low blood sugar. I looked at the brainwave readings; she’s been in a state of unease. Did she experience some sudden, unbearable shock?"
"Yes." Tong Xi responded.
The kind of shock Wen Nuan experienced was such a huge blow, she could hardly fathom it.
The doctor nodded: "Pay attention to her emotions, minimize her stress. The problem shouldn’t be serious, let’s keep her under observation in the hospital for two days."
"Alright." Tan Qing patted Tong Xi’s shoulder: "Go inside and stay with her, I’ll handle the admission procedures."
In the hospital room, Wen Nuan was asleep. She did not look the least bit at peace, her eyelids fluttered continuously, and her fingers moved around her chest, as if constantly trying to grab onto something.
Who is digging into her heart, such pain! She watched as someone took her heart away, she wanted to retrieve it, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t reach it.
"Nuannuan."
Tong Xi approached, holding her hand, her eyes red: "Silly girl, you’ve got to get better, understand? Once you’re better, we’ll go teach those cheating scumbags a lesson!"
In her dream, her hand grasped something, finally a bit stable. But her heart, where did it go? She wanted it back, she couldn’t give her heart to someone who doesn’t cherish it, who would throw it on the ground and stomp it to pieces.
Hurts, it hurts so much!
"Rest well, Nuannuan." Tong Xi choked up, patting her hand: "You have to get better, get divorced when you wake up, kick that bastard Leng Yan out! We’ll go back to France together to continue studying, graduate, find good jobs, and marry good men that’ll really piss him off!"
Leng Yan...
When Wen Nuan heard that name, her unrest became more apparent.
Leng Yan, the man she had loved for three years. It was he, who had taken her heart away and refused to give it back.
No, she couldn’t let him have it anymore. He was with another woman, why did he need her heart? He had to return it...
"What’s happening to her?" As soon as Tan Qing returned, he saw Wen Nuan’s hand grasping frantically, her body trembling slightly, he asked urgently.
"Maybe she’s dreaming, ah." Tong Xi sighed, patting her: "Nuannuan dear, sleep well, Xixi is here with you."
Wen Nuan finally seemed to settle down a bit, Tong Xi breathed a sigh of relief, only to turn around and see Tan Qing’s expression, his brow furrowed slightly: "Are you still unwell? Yesterday Nuannuan told me you had a fever?"
"It’s nothing serious now." Tan Qing spoke softly, he and Tong Xi both sat on separate chairs, their eyes unblinkingly watching Wen Nuan. His well-proportioned black eyebrows knit tightly. Seeing her in such a state, it was as if a knife was slowly cutting into his chest, the pain overflowing his chest cavity.
Silly girl, I thought you could be happy, but how did it turn out like this? If only I had met you sooner, Leng Yan wouldn’t have even had a chance with you.
Wen Nuan slept deeply, Tong Xi originally wanted Tan Qing to go home and rest, but he refused, so she let it be. They talked with their voices lowered, so as not to disturb Wen Nuan’s rest, their phones set to silent and vibrate. Tong Xi’s pocket gently vibrated, she thought it was Director Weng, but when she checked, it was Leng Yan’s number. She glared at the string of numbers with gritted teeth and decisively disconnected the call.
Ugh, how dare he call!
Leng Yan stubbornly called again, got hung up on, then called again, repeating the process.
"Who is it?" Tan Qing asked, "Couldn’t be your director, right?"
"No!" Tong Xi fiercely glared at the phone screen as it lit up again, finally couldn’t stand it anymore and whispered to Tan Qing: "I’m going to take this call, keep an eye on her, call me immediately if she wakes up."
Fine, so you want to be scolded?
Damn, she was full of anger, ready to let off steam, and now the opportunity presented itself, if she didn’t scold him, it would be a disservice to Nuannuan.
"Tong Xi..."
Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, as soon as he heard the call connect on the other side, Leng Yan couldn’t wait to ask: "Nuannuan, is she..."
He only managed to utter a few words before a loud scolding almost deafened him.
"Where the hell do you come off calling this granny’s phone?" Tong Xi answered, immediately cursing, "Are you tired of living?"
So what if he’s Young Master Leng? Even if the drama she’s acting in now is funded by him, so what. He messed with her friend, she was upset, and she wanted to scold him.
No, she wanted to beat him up even more, just like she wanted to punch Ji Wei and vent for Wen Nuan.
"Tong Xi, it’s me." Leng Yan’s face flushed red, no one had ever dared to scold him like this since he was a child. But now he could only endure it. Tong Xi was right, even he thought he was a bastard, having done such an outrageous thing.
Tong Xi snorted coldly: "Yeah, I was scolding you, you bastard. So, what do you want with me?"
