Reality felt like a sharp blade, slicing her piece by painful piece, leaving her in unbearable agony.She sprinted downstairs, trying to flag down Zhuo Yu'an's car and ask him to take her to the hospit...Shu Tinglan didn't greet Yi Muyang in advance and went straight to the hospital. She wanted to give him a surprise, but she received a fright first instead.

When she pushed open the door to the ward, she was surprised to see Ding Zhi there as well. Both he and Yi MuYang's faces were very grim, clearly they had just argued. Seeing her enter, Ding Zhi subtly frowned and retreated to stand by the window, watching her. Yi MuYang also adjusted his breath slightly before returning to his usual look at her.

"How did you get back"

His expression seemed overly relaxed, but his face was still pale, which made Shu Tinglan feel uncomfortable.

“Am I interrupting Please continue talking, I’ll come back in a bit.” She was considerate and wanted to give them space, knowing that Yimu Yang probably didn't want her to see this side of him.

"No, we're done." We were indeed done. There was nothing left to talk about. He glanced at Ding Zhi beside him.

"Can you roll out"

Ding Zhi then said nothing and walked out of the ward.

Yimu Yang saw Tinglan come back, and his mood improved a lot. The anxiety he had just felt because of Dingzhi gradually subsided.

He reached out his hand to her: "Come here!"

Shu Tinglan obediently went over and sat by his bedside, asking him.

"What did Dingzhi come to find you for"

Yi Muyang wanted to curse but held back. Ding Zhi's true identity was a secret that had to be kept, even from Ting Lan. He didn't dare say it, as this was the most basic decorum.

"Nothing, just come and see if I'm dead."

He just said something casually.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shu Tinglan hit him.

In actuality, Ding Zhilai's visit was twofold. Firstly, he genuinely wanted to check on his injuries. Secondly, it was a veiled attempt to persuade him to participate in their drug trafficking operation, acting as an undercover agent embedded within Gan An's team.

When he was at the Yunnan border, he had a run-in with people from Gangan and inadvertently helped them hold back the Scarred Master, preventing him from fleeing abroad. Ding Zhi meant that if the Gangan people really found him, he could use this opportunity to arrange for him to infiltrate Gangan's inner circle.

Ding Zhi's certainty and self-importance angered Yi Mu Yang, who firmly refused. He wasn't interested and wouldn't risk it; he only wanted a peaceful life. If the person from Gan An really found him, he hoped they would handle it quickly.

Two people were arguing, and Tinglan just walked in.

"Has Sun Yueyue's matter been resolved" he changed the subject.

"No, but Mr. Sun and his wife are still there. I couldn't help, so I came back early. There's still a lot to do here." she explained.

Yimu Yang looked at her and then asked again.

"Are you back early because of what I said yesterday about getting married" He was referring to what he had said on the phone the previous day.

Shu Tinglan fell silent. This was indeed one of the reasons. On her way to the hospital, she had also thought about confessing some things to Yi Muyang. No matter what, she didn't want to hide her true self from him anymore. If, after confessing, he could still accept her, that would be best. If not, she could also be friends with him.

But seeing that he wasn't in a good mood right now, she decided to talk to him another day.

"Tinglan, you don't have to mind what I said yesterday. As I mentioned, I am a confirmed bachelor. I just thought you might want to get married, and Auntie Liu was entrusted by my mother to bring this up with you. So I figured that if we were going to get married, it should be me who proposes, showing sincerity. It wouldn't be right for Auntie Liu to do it on my behalf; that would be unmanly."

Yi Muyang's words were half true, that he was indeed a non-marriage advocate. It was only because of Tinglan that he felt forming a family with her wasn't bad.

Shutinglan, hearing him bring it up on his own, also found the courage to peel back her true self and show it to him.

"You've never asked me about the children's father, have you Why"

"Well, since it's all in the past, just like you would never ask me how many girlfriends I've had before."

Shū Tīnglan was taken aback. This was completely different!

She's been married and had children, he's just dated girlfriends, it's not the same thing.

"Don't really want to know Then I won't say." She didn't believe he wouldn't be curious at all, so she said that on purpose.

Yi Muyang laughed.

“Tinglan, in your heart, am I too kind or too naive I knew about what happened to you in the past, but I just thought it wasn't necessary to bring it up again."

Shu Tinglan's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean"

“You think you’re so clever, keeping everything under wraps, but everyone can see through it. I'm sure even your little assistant knows about your relationship with Mr. Zhuo from Zuo Yuan Technology.” Yi Muyang spoke with sincerity and openness. The moment he chose to listen to Tinglan, he knew she had a story, that she wasn't a blank slate. Since he chose her, he accepted everything that came with it.

Shu Tinglan's face turned pale, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. So in the end, was it herself who was the most foolish Hiding everything, acting like a fool in front of them

But anyone who has been introduced to Zhuo Yunan through her should have noticed, shouldn't they It's a bit awkward, but at the same time, there's a sense of relief, and the psychological burden is lessened.

"I'm such an idiot!" she mocked herself. Everyone was maintaining their own pride, even the little assistant Xiao Xin was pretending not to know anything and keeping up appearances for her, but only she was being self-righteous.

Yi Muyang reached out and took her hand, saying, "You're so silly! Silly in a cute way."

Yi Muyang actually saw through her a long time ago. She poured all her thoughts into work and her children, and she was much slower than others when it came to matters of the heart, even a bit single-minded. That's why,

“We're two sides of the same coin, so we're perfect for each other.” That was his honest feeling. He wasn’t good with emotions, just like he had dated many girls in the past and always had a string of girlfriends around him. He thought he was sincere, not just physical. But after meeting Tinglan, he realized what it meant to truly care—it was a racing heartbeat, a constant worry, and the ability to both accept everything and let go of everything.

Shu Tinglan was amused by him, instantly dispelling all the gloom he had felt before. He considered Yi Muyang a true comrade and finally spoke out his concerns.

Zuo Yu'an also knew about the existence of the two young children.

Yimu Yang seemed not too surprised, because with Zhuo YUAN's ability, it was impossible not to find out.

What does he want to do

"I don't know, he's very cunning and never reveals his true thoughts." This was Shu Tinglan's most powerless place, leaving her with strength but nowhere to use it.

"Tinglan, what are you afraid of" Yi Muyang patiently guided her, like peeling silk thread by thread, finding the core of the problem and then solving it.

Shu Tinglan, because of his question, also shielded off all external influences and earnestly listened to the true voice of her heart. What was she most afraid of

Is he afraid that Zhuo Yu'an will pester her because of the children Or is he afraid that Zhuo Yu'an will come to take the children away

Thinking deeper, the real fear is

"I'm afraid he'll try to take the children away from me, and I won't be able to stop him."ly.Shi Yan immediately went to the conference room, but stopped at the door and turned back to look at her.Lin Zhiyao, when not being a lovestruck fool, was very clever. He immediately understood what...
