Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

From the time he saw Zhang Xue at the hospital to the time he spent New Year’s Eve at the Sang family’s residence, Sang Minglang had never said anything to her alone.

When the car stopped, Sang Minglang turned his head to look at Zhang Xue. His voice was low as he asked, “When I was unconscious, were you the one who took care of me?”

Zhang Xue shook her head. “No. It was Sister Xiaoshuang.”

She didn’t hide anything and told him how Ruan Xiaoshuang had done her best to take care of Sang Minglang for a while.

“Sister Xiaoshuang is very good to you.”

Zhang Xue mustered her courage and said what she wanted to say. “I hope you can find her soon.”

Sang Minglang was silent for a long time. So what if he found Ruan Xiaoshuang?

He did not know how much mental work he had done to force himself not to think about the harm Ruan Cheng had done to the Sang family.

If he hadn’t been injured and fainted, perhaps he would have tried to get Ruan Xiaoshuang back.

However, Ruan Xiaodie appeared after that. What she did to Qianqian, was that something a human should do?

Qianqian and Shen Hanyu were originally living a good life, and happiness was within their grasp.

Thanks to Ruan Xiaodie, they were now separated, and such a young child was also implicated.

Whenever he thought of his sister, his child, and his father, whose hair had turned completely white in the past two years…

Sang Minglang would feel guilty for not protecting them.

Ruan Xiaoshuang leaving was probably the best choice.

Otherwise, he really didn’t know how he should treat her.

After so many years, perhaps it was just as his father had said; he had no fate with her.

It had always been this way.

It was like this when they were in love, and it was like this when they reunited later on. They would always miss each other.

There were too many beautiful things in the world, but he and Ruan Xiaoshuang were not so lucky.

No matter how hard they tried to be together, all they got in the end was deeper pain and unmendable wounds.

Ever since their failed wedding when they were studying abroad, their separation seemed to have been destined.

***

After an unknown amount of time.

When Sang Minglang recovered from his dazed thoughts, he was already alone in the car.

Zhang Xue had already gotten out.

There was a bank card in the backseat. It was the one he had given her back in Beijing as a reward for being his “girlfriend.”

There was a message from her on his phone:

“I don’t need the money in the card. I’m content to be your girlfriend, even if it was just for show. I had a great time tonight. Thank you to you, Sister Qianqian, and Uncle Sang. I don’t think we’ll meet again in the future. However, I hope to hear from you again when you have your wedding with Sister Xiaoshuang-”

Wedding.

Sang Minglang’s lips twitched. This girl was already in her twenties, how could she still be so childish?

Did she know what was between him and Ruan Xiaoshuang?

In the end, he still gave Sang Qjanqian a call.

“Ruan Xiaoshuang, where did she go?”

“Did Xiao Xue tell you everything?”

Sang Qianqian said, “When Sister Xiaoshuang left, she went to Europe, the city where you guys studied abroad. She said she wanted to take a look around there. It’s been a few months now, so she might not be there anymore.”

There was no response from the other end of the phone.

She sighed slightly. “Brother, if you want to find Sister Xiaoshuang, go ahead. Fang Lan and Brother Zhong Yao have returned to Europe., so you can ask them for help. She will help you find Sister Xiaoshuang.”

Sang Minglang was silent for a moment, but he didn’t ask about Ruan Xiaoshuang. Instead, he asked about Zhang Xue, “Why was Zhang Xue at the hospital?”

“That girl… Sigh, it’s a long story.”

Sang Qianqian told him about how Zhang Xue came to visit him, how she waited outside the hospital foolishly, how Ruan Xiaoshuang found out about her, how she took care of him with Ruan Xiaoshuang, and so on. “Actually, she’s really not bad. Dad and I like her a lot. It’s a pity that I only have one brother.”

Sang Minglang snorted, “I’m more than enough. How many brothers do you want?”

Sang Qianqian smiled and said sincerely, “Brother, no matter what you choose, Dad and I will support you. We can accept it. Dad and I wouldn’t be surprised if you flew to Europe right now. Life is short, so don’t give yourself any regrets.”

After hanging up for a long time, Sang Minglang was still sitting in the car, not moving at all.

He thought of many things, and his indescribable emotions rose and fell.

In the night, countless fireworks bloomed brilliantly before gradually dissipating and calming down.

His chaotic emotions slowly cleared up and calmed down. The decision in his heart also became firmer.

The east was gradually turning white, and the sky was bright.

When Zhang Xue dragged her luggage out of the hotel, she found Sang Minglang’s car still parked in the same spot.

She stopped in her tracks, hesitating whether she should go over and take a look.

However, the car door already opened. Sang Minglang got out of the car and walked toward her in large strides. He took the luggage from her hands naturally and said, “Get in.”

Zhang Xue was stunned. Was he sending her to the airport?

“You… Did you not leave last night?”

Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have parked in the exact same spot.

“I suddenly thought of a question that I forgot to ask you.”

He said, “Since Ruan Xiaoshuang has been taking care of me, why did you appear at the hospital?”

“I-I…” Zhang Xue stuttered in embarrassment.

She couldn’t say a word for a long time, but her face was as red as a ripe apple.

Sang Minglang smiled slightly, “You haven’t improved at all, blushing whenever you lie. You managed to tell a lie last time, but you don’t seem to be able to do that this time?”

Zhang Xue’s face turned even redder, but she was also a little puzzled. “Last time? When was that?”

Why didn’t she remember when she lied to Sang Minglang?

Sang Minglang only smiled without saying anything.

On the way to the airport, he didn’t say anything else.

Zhang Xue’s heart was in a mess. She didn’t know why Sang Minglang didn’t go back and even sent her to the airport. Moreover, his attitude toward her seemed to have changed.

Regarding the lie, no matter how much she recalled, it seemed like she had never done that to him before.

When the car arrived at the airport, Sang Minglang insisted on sending her to the security checkpoint.

“What are your plans for the future?” he suddenly asked.

Zhang Xue was stunned again.

Sang Minglang was really strange today, actually taking the initiative to ask her such a question.

It felt like he had become a different person. Was it related to him being unconscious for so long?

Seeing that she was in a daze and didn’t say anything, Sang Minglang found it funny. “Is this question very difficult to answer?”

“No… I just haven’t thought about it yet.”

Zhang Xue’s face turned red again. She stuttered, “When I return to Yuecheng, I’ll probably find a job first…”

“Are you willing to return to the Sang family’s company and continue being my assistant?”

Zhang Xue suspected that she had misheard, her eyes widening as she looked at Sang Minglang.

“Are you looking at me with that expression because you’re unwilling?”

Sang Minglang nodded as if he was talking to himself. “It’s indeed a little tough being an assistant. You would be better off as a girlfriend.”

He looked at Zhang Xue firmly.. “Therefore, why don’t you be my girlfriend? Would you consider it, Zhang Xue?”
