Chapter 211: Chapter 204: The Reason

Leng Yichen grasped Bai Yiran’s shoulders with both hands, as if she would vanish once more if he let go.

"Bai Yiran, I love that child just as much. I also hope she could be born safely and grow up healthy. I’ve even thought about what kind of father I want to become in the future," Leng Yichen’s tone grew agitated, "But compared to losing the child, I cannot accept losing you!"

Bai Yiran’s shoulders ached slightly under Leng Yichen’s grip. She looked at him, her tone drifting, "I often have the same dream, returning to that day. I endure that torment almost every moment. I sleep poorly, suffer from insomnia. Whenever I think of you, see you, I recall that day. I’m afraid, I dare not face you again. I know if I want to leave, you would absolutely not agree, so I could only slip away quietly..."

Tears welled up in Bai Yiran’s eyes and eventually overflowed, "I’m really in pain..."

For a long time, Bai Yiran had been afraid of the night. Later, she thought she was fine, she began to miss home, she wanted to come back. But she still didn’t dare to face Leng Yichen.

Bai Yiran’s shoulders trembled helplessly, she had hidden these things in her heart, not telling Lou Jing, not telling her family, and certainly not telling Leng Yichen. She thought she could heal herself, she thought time was the cure for everything.

"I’m sorry..." Leng Yichen never thought this was the reason Bai Yiran left. He didn’t realize the harm it caused her would last so long. He believed it was just her willfulness, that he could give her time to indulge her whims, but he didn’t expect that his every appearance would plunge her back into past agony. "I’m sorry..."

Leng Yichen hugged Bai Yiran tightly, his lips kissing her hair, heartache beyond words.

Bai Yiran cried in Leng Yichen’s embrace for a long time, seemingly venting all the feelings accumulated in her heart during this period. During the day, she could pretend to be strong, she could laugh and chat with anyone, she could not care about gains and losses or grievances. But when night fell, she would be afraid, curling up in bed, repeatedly telling herself, I am strong, I am strong, before falling asleep deeply.

"Girl," Leng Yichen held Bai Yiran, savoring her scent, "call me selfish or whatever you want, as long as you are willing to stay by my side."

Leng Yichen cupped Bai Yiran’s head, his deep gaze fixed on her eyes, a myriad of gentle kisses fell on her eyes, drying her tears. His lips slowly and tenderly moved downwards, her nose, her cheeks, her lips...

"You are mine..."

He lifted her with his strong arms, her delicate hands clinging to his shoulders...

More than a year later, Sister Liu saw Bai Yiran again, appearing very excited. It felt like this big house regained its liveliness because of Bai Yiran.

"Yiran! Where have you been for so long?" Sister Liu held Bai Yiran’s hand, tears welling in her eyes.

"I... just went out for a walk."

At this moment, Bai Yiran’s mind was still blank, thinking about last night’s intimacy with Leng Yichen, assuming it was the effect of the alcohol.

Leng Yichen’s tall figure appeared behind Bai Yiran, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist, "Let’s have breakfast first."

Bai Yiran shook her head, "I won’t eat, I have to go to work, I’m leaving now."

Without another word, Bai Yiran left the villa.

"Sir! What is going on? You should go after her!" Sister Liu looked anxious, wondering why he was just standing by as his wife walked away!

But Leng Yichen didn’t rush out to chase her, now he knew the reason he previously didn’t understand.
