Chapter 393

Rong Yan asked Mocheng and Momo Xiaobai to go out and buy groceries while she prepared the meal; where Rong Yan was, she usually took it upon herself to cook because everyone agreed that Rong Yan was...Chapter 393

Lin Ning could see Cai Xiaojing's evasion and tightly held her hand. She avoided his gaze, but couldn't escape from his persistence. Cai Xiaojing didn't know what she wanted anymore; after experiencing the warmth of Lin Ning and then the changes in Ye Feimo’s relationship, she was afraid to bring up her past feelings again.

Revenge was just a fleeting thought.

She didn’t want to have a falling out with Lin Ning, causing everyone to be unable to salvage the situation.

However, she had莫名的恐懼婚姻。

"Xiaojing, let's get married," said Lin Ning as he held her hand and solemnly reaffirmed his proposal. Cai Xiaojing subconsciously evaded his gaze and dared not look at him directly; Lin Ning felt somewhat disappointed but firmly held onto her hand: "I am certain that I can give you happiness."

Happiness

Cai Xiaojing gave a bitter smile. Who could guarantee anything When Warmth and Ye Feimo got married, they both promised to bring each other happiness, but what was the result of it all Were they happy Along their journey in this marriage, they were filled with wounds; could such a state be considered happiness

No one can promise anyone anything.

Especially something as intangible and elusive as happiness. She truly didn't dare to believe.

She had no confidence in flirtatious, playboy Lin Ning who played with people's feelings.

She thought that if Lin Ning didn’t even know how to write the words for 'happiness', then how could he promise it

"I don't have any plans to get married right now," said Cai Xiaojing calmly, looking straight into Lin Ning's eyes with seriousness. "You may be confident, but I'm not."

Lin Ning frowned slightly; Cai Xiaojing thought that when Lin Ning frowned, his appearance was quite intimidating, stern and mysterious, which was why many people were afraid of him when he got angry. His gaze seemed to pierce through a person’s soul and see all their thoughts.

This kind of gaze was terrifying.

Cai Xiaojing was also afraid of such a gaze, yet she let him look at her.

The thoughts in her heart were completely exposed.

Lin Ning said, "I know you don't have confidence in me. But Xiaojing, give each other a chance. How do we know I can’t make it if we haven't tried When I say I am confident that I can make you happy, I truly believe it. We shouldn’t sentence me to life imprisonment just because of past events."

Cai Xiaojing was shocked and said, "You... when did you know"

They had dated before, but Cai Xiaojing never told Lin Ning about their relationship; she feared he would mock her. She believed that Lin Ning had long forgotten her, remembering nothing at all since she was just a passerby in his life.

Hearing that Lin Ning remembered, she felt flustered and at a loss for what to do.

"At first I didn’t remember, but when I went to your house last time and saw your old photos, it all came back. No wonder..." A smile appeared on the corners of Lin Ning's lips. Cai Xiaojing was furious and pushed him away, saying, "Get lost, get lost, what are you laughing at Go back to your office to laugh."

While smiling, Lin Ning held her waist and pulled her closer, his smile widening. "Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore. Truly, the Xiaojing from before was very obedient and cute. How did she turn into a shrew now"

"Who’s the shrew Get lost yourself."

Laughing, Lin Ning looked at her with gentle eyes as she was embarrassed and angry. This girl, no matter how many times he circled around, it still came back to this girl. Truly, fate is cruel. He sighed, "If I had known that I would be defeated by you, I shouldn’t have let go of you in the first place. If I hadn’t let go, we probably would have already had several children instead of ten years of debauchery."

If only I knew back then that I would fall for you and that my destined partner was you, when I was young, I should have claimed my right to take possession of you and love you until the end.

But it’s a pity that one can’t buy hindsight at any price.

Lin Ning regretted his past actions.

Cai Xiaojing coldly smiled, "Don't say such sweet words. If you hadn’t left me back then, perhaps you would have gotten tired of me long ago and divorced."

"Do you really not believe in us"

"Where do you think you're worthy of my trust" Cai Xiao Jing countered. She didn't say that ordinary girls would believe whatever men told them; she was Cai Xiao Jing, a top-notch agent who had been in the entertainment industry for nearly a decade and seen it all—she knew what kind of tricks people played and how many failed relationships there were. Although her relationships always ended without resolution, she was experienced enough to know that Lin Ning wouldn't be able to persuade her with just a few words.

Lin Ning looked at her, "You would rather see us end up like Fei Mo and Nuan the way they did"

"You're overthinking this, Lin Ning. Not marrying you doesn’t mean we’ll turn into enemies. If that's how things are going to be, there’s nothing left for us to talk about—let's not even pretend we’re friends," Cai Xiao Jing said. "Men say one thing when they love and another when they don't; I can never tell which is real."

"Xiao Jing," Lin Ning helplessly said, "I’m not Fei Mo, you're not Nuan—our story isn’t connected to their tragedy in any direct or indirect way. Why do you insist on holding onto this"

"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Cai Xiao Jing said indifferently. "If I don't want to marry you, it's because you lack the capability. That's my stance and if you think we're incompatible, either leave or I will; I’m not clinging onto you."

Lin Ning was momentarily at a loss for words. He couldn’t walk out on her now so he wisely conceded, raising his hands in defeat, "Alright then, everything as you wish—this matter isn't worth discussing if that's the case."

You really are something else, Cai Xiao Jing—you always get what you want.

She saw him leave the office and felt a mix of emotions. As soon as Lin Ning left, he turned back around before she could recover from her disappointment; the great actor smiled broadly, "Oh right, Xiao Jing, we're having dinner tonight—I've booked our table."

Cai Xiao Jing was furious—before she knew it, he had disappeared.

Recently busy promoting Liang Hongyu's film with both main leads Yan Ye and Nuan away, Lin Ning was more dedicated to this promotion than ever before. Since the movie would only start screening two months from now, all aspects of its promotion were already underway.

No matter whether or not Nuan left Anning International, it marked a milestone for both her career and Lin Ning's.

The meeting between Cheng Anya and Nuan in the hospital surprised and amused Anya. She saw that Nuan was carrying some medicine, so when they crossed paths in the hallway, she could do nothing but awkwardly greet Nuan.

"Hello, Mrs. Ye." After their divorce, of course, calling her "Mum" wasn’t appropriate anymore; the change saddened Cheng Anya but she felt no ill will toward Nuan, especially seeing her walking down the hallway in a daze with medicine in hand.

Reaching this point between herself and Ye Feimo, both were responsible.

"Nuan Nuan, what a coincidence," Cheng Anya smiled kindly. Nuan Ran felt somewhat awkward, as if fearing misunderstanding; she lifted the medicine in her hand and explained rather foolishly, "I'm not feeling well and came to the hospital for some medication."

Cheng Anya nodded, indicating that she understood. Nuan Ran felt even more embarrassed, turning red with shame and a hint of sourness. She now had to use such ridiculous excuses just to see Ye Feimo; besides sorrow, no other emotions were left in her heart.

"If you're not feeling well, why don't you ask someone to accompany you Going to the hospital alone is quite dangerous. Where do you feel unwell" Cheng Anya asked knowingly.

Nuan Ran replied mildly, "It's nothing much; I just have a slight fever and came for some medicine."

Cheng Anya smiled warmly as she looked at Nuan Ran, who seemed like an obedient child admitting to wrongdoing. She lowered her head guiltily without daring to look up, her fingers nearly twisting the bag into a rope.

Such confusion, such unease, so much remorse and conflict.

Cheng Anya understood Nuan Ran's feelings.

The medical floor was on the fourth level; there was no need for her to come all the way up to the eleventh floor. This level had only a few wards, and in order to avoid disturbances and media troubles, it had been reserved exclusively, rarely seeing visitors.

Cheng Anya knew that Nuan Ran wanted to see Ye Feimo, but she was also afraid of encountering him.

"Madam Ye, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now," said Nuan Ran with her head lowered and quickly turned to walk away, not daring to stay in case she couldn't resist asking about Feimo or insisting on seeing him.

They were divorced.

Feimo was admitted so soon; it was also her fault.

Cheng Anya spoke from behind, "Nuan Nuan, Feimo is undergoing surgery today."

Nuan Ran's body stiffened. Surgery But wasn't there still several days before it started Her limbs went weak; would the operation be dangerous Could Feimo's cancer be controlled Would he really survive this crisis

It seemed she should stay here, accompanying him through this ordeal. She was truly afraid that she might never see Ye Feimo again.he would stay in the hospital room unwillingly to leave, but Cheng An Yuan insisted that she go rest: "Mommy, you should go get some rest. He’ll be fine. Tianyu will accept this fact and won’t cause a...
