He couldn't muster any strength. "Can I help you?"
Without waiting for a response, Ye Bingran refrained from touching Zheng Mengni. Seeing his pale face, as if he were on the brink of collapse, she felt a surge of concern. She quickly reached out to support him.
"Why weren't you this polite earlier?"
Ye Bingran obediently replied, "People need to learn from their mistakes; I can't afford to be disliked for making the same mistake twice."
Zheng Mengni coldly corrected him, "You were already disliked the first time you made a mistake."
Ye Bingran casually tugged at the corner of his mouth. "But you would give me another chance, right?"
"No, no, no," Zheng Mengni repeated three times.
Ye Bingran smiled gently and glanced at her hand that was supporting him. "Alright, I understand."
Once Zheng Mengni helped him lean against something, she immediately withdrew her hand. "Words alone mean nothing; you need to show me with your actions."
"I will prove it," Ye Bingran said. "From now on, if you say one thing, I won't say another."
Zheng Mengni frowned slightly. "What do you mean? Am I that domineering?"
"Of course not," Ye Bingran said with a smile, narrowing his eyes. "What I mean is that I will obediently listen to you."
Without thinking twice, Zheng Mengni replied, "You don't have to listen to me."
Ye Bingran was taken aback and looked at her, a hint of confusion crossing his face. "Why not?"
"As long as we don't interfere with each other, that's enough," Zheng Mengni said with a laugh. "The way you're saying it makes it sound like I'm trying to boss you around."
So what kind of person had the right to listen to her?
Of course, it was someone Zheng Mengni had expectations for.
After Zheng Mengni left, Ye Bingran absentmindedly flipped through the novel that had once made him laugh heartily. The content was quite interesting, but unfortunately, he couldn't focus on a single word.
He sat on the bed in silence for a long time before suddenly looking down and realizing that one page of the novel had become crumpled beyond recognition.
Ye Bingran despised the feeling of being unable to control his emotions. With immense patience and seriousness, he reached out to smooth out the wrinkles.
No matter what, things could never return to how they once were. Ye Bingran scoffed at himself, casually tossing the novel aside. No matter how turbulent his emotions became, he always left a buffer zone for himself, a safety net of sorts. But now, it seemed that the defenses of this safety zone were crumbling, and many things had begun to spiral out of control.
Since parting in the corridor, Luo Xuezhi had not seen Guan Su Lin again. That day’s collaboration proposal felt like just a casual remark from Guan Su Lin, something not taken seriously. Luo Xuezhi mocked her own naivety; how could Guan Su Lin, an enemy rather than a friend, possibly help her? Yet when Luo Xuezhi once again heard Wei Nanxuan making arrangements for Wei Jingxi, she could no longer sit idly by. She dialed Guan Su Lin’s number.
It seemed that the other party had anticipated her call; the phone barely rang twice before it was answered. "You said you would help me last time; does that still count?"
Guan Su Lin held a lighter in his hand, silently gazing out at the bustling scenery beyond the floor-to-ceiling window. After taking a quiet drag from his cigarette, he replied, "A businessman values honesty above all else; deceiving you would be pointless for me."
Luo Xuezhi gripped her phone tightly, feeling lost as she said, "Then I need your help. Once my child is born, I will raise him according to your wishes."
Guan Su Lin let out a satisfied chuckle. "Congratulations on making the right decision." After hanging up, he sent Luo Xuezhi an address for their meeting and then turned to extinguish his cigarette in the ashtray.
Wei Jingxi's position was something he had intentionally hinted at to Wei Nanxuan. Such a suitable and appropriate role would satisfy anyone; he hadn’t expected Wei Nanxuan to hand it over to Wei Jingxi so quickly. It truly was effortless.
