Chapter 541 Is it really meaningful for you to pretend to be in such agony? (Page 12)
Lin Ke tapped the steering wheel with his finger, then glanced at Nanxing again, feeling a pang of heartache upon seeing Nanxing's tired profile.
"Xingxing, is this decision really going to be alright? Why don't you reconsider? I think Fu Yunchuan's behavior is a bit unusual. Amy messaged me yesterday saying that you should think it over carefully. He and I are fine with each other, but we should put your side first."
"No problem, senior brother, trust me. Fu Yunchuan's actions this time were indeed strange, but he was just worried that I would leave and not save Lu Mingzhu."
"Besides, this relationship between us was going to end sooner or later, and now is the best time. Moreover, this is my own decision, and I want to go back to being Nanxing."
"Besides, I can't let Lu Mingzhu hurt the people around me like this again. Actually, going back to Nanxing is only good for me and not bad. I can do a lot of things, so you don't need to worry about me because of you, and don't blame yourselves."
Lin Ke knew that Nanxing had made up her mind, so he didn't say anything more. He had initially agreed with Nanxing's suggestions and actions and supported her. It was just that Fu Yunchuan's actions in the past two days had made him a little worried that something unexpected might happen, so he said a few more words.
Of course, that's exactly what Amy said to him last night.
Nanxing glanced at the van behind her in the rearview mirror, her eyelids slightly drooping. She was determined not to lose this decision, and she was fearless no matter what Fu Yunchuan wanted to do.
Previously, the concern was about the children being discovered, but that concern no longer exists.
Upon arriving at the destination, Lin Ke parked the car. The two had already made an appointment, so they could go straight in.
Fu Yunchuan got out of the car and really wanted to go inside, but he restrained himself.
He couldn't go in; he could only wait here.
The driver was quite surprised that the address he was taken to was the place where they would get their marriage certificate.
However, that was not something he should ask. He only knew that Fu Yunchuan seemed to be acting strangely at the moment.
She was a little excited, yet also seemed to be desperately trying to control herself, but her eyes, fixed on the doorway, were filled with focus and possessiveness.
Fu Yunchuan stared intently at the doorway. He hadn't checked the time, so he didn't know how much time had passed, but it felt like an eternity. Why hadn't he come out after being inside for so long?
Does it take that long to get a divorce certificate? Is it possible to change your mind halfway through?
Fu Yunchuan's hands, tucked into his coat pocket, trembled slightly. Though outwardly calm, only he knew the turmoil of emotions churning within him.
Just as Fu Yunchuan was about to go in and take a look, Nanxing and Lin Ke finally appeared at the door.
Upon seeing the notebook in their hands, he walked over quickly without hesitation.
Nanxing also saw Fu Yunchuan.
"Welcome back to being yourself, Nanxing."
Lin Ke hugged Nanxing tightly. As a friend and an older brother, he was genuinely happy for Nanxing.
He knew how lost Nanxing had been living under someone else's identity all these years, and now Nanxing could finally be herself again.
Nanxing was slightly taken aback; the words "welcome back to yourself" actually brought tears to her eyes.
"Thank you, senior brother." She hugged Lin Ke back.
"Silly girl, what's there to thank me for? You should know that I'm your senior brother."
Lin Ke patted Nan Xing's shoulder, and just as he was about to let go, his body was pulled and he fell backward uncontrollably, forcing him to release Nan Xing as well.
The accident happened so suddenly that Lin Ke staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.
Just as Nanxing was about to pull Lin Ke away, Fu Yunchuan pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Fu Yunchuan, are you crazy? Let go of me right now!" Nanxing forcefully thrust her arm into Fu Yunchuan's waist.
"Fu Yunchuan, let go of Nanxing." Lin Ke saw that Nanxing was being held in Fu Yunchuan's arms and immediately went up to pull Nanxing out.
But how could Fu Yunchuan possibly let him have his way?
"Let her go? What right do you have to ask me to let her go?" Fu Yunchuan looked at Lin Ke coldly, his eyes devoid of any warmth.
The phrase "forgetting one's roots" perfectly describes Fu Yunchuan's current state. Before seeing those two divorce certificates, he was a man of few words, but now he dares to sneer at Lin Ke.
"Fu Yunchuan, will you let go or not?" Nan Xing looked at Fu Yunchuan coldly, her tone was very calm, but the coldness in her eyes made Fu Yunchuan feel a sharp pain in his heart.
He knew Nanxing was really angry. Considering that Nanxing had already divorced Lin Ke, he could take things slowly and not let Nanxing's impression of him get any worse.
“I can let go, but you must remember that you and he are divorced, and you, Nanxing, are now married to me, Fu Yunchuan.”
"Fu Yunchuan, do you know how Lu Mingzhu will react if she hears these words? Have you thought about how to explain it to her?"
Nanxing pushed his hand away, and Fu Yunchuan did indeed let go of her as he had said, but his gaze was still like an unbreakable lock, tightly locked onto Nanxing.
He knew that Nanxing had misunderstood him.
“I don’t care what she thinks, because I never intended to explain it to her.”
Nanxing sneered, not believing a word he said.
"Then I hope you can say it directly to her next time. I want to see if you can say it, and if you're willing to say it."
She walked up to Lin Ke, looked at him with concern, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Lin Ke replied, then looked at Fu Yunchuan. "Fu Yunchuan, my divorce from her doesn't mean she'll like you. In her heart, you're less than a stranger now."
Fu Yunchuan's face was ashen. If Nanxing hadn't been there, he wouldn't have given Lin Ke the chance to say those things.
Nanxing originally wanted to pull Lin Ke away, because there were many people coming and going here, and she didn't have the habit of letting people watch the show.
The phone rang at that moment; it was Feng Jiejie calling her.
She walked over and answered the call, but before she could even speak, Feng Jiejie's words reached her ears first.
"Xingxing, have you finished your business? Where are you now? When do you plan to come back?"
A series of questions made Nanxing realize that something was wrong.
"Just finished, I can't go back until tomorrow. Today I have to deliver some things to Qinbao's good friend, I promised her. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Then you should hurry up and let Lin Ke come back first, because Amy's mother has been sent to the intensive care unit. The doctor said she probably won't last a week. Amy told me not to tell Lin Ke, saying that she can handle it herself and that she can't delay your business."
“But I think it’s better for Lin Ke to stay with him at this time, so you can let him come back first, and you can go back tomorrow. I’ve already checked the plane tickets, and there are tickets available to return.”
Hearing Feng Jiejie's words, Nanxing's face showed more worry.
How is Amy now?
“He’s fine, he seems quite calm. He said he was mentally prepared, but I think it would be better for Lin Ke to stay by his side at this time.”
"Okay, I'll have Lin Ke go back now, and I'll go back tomorrow."
Nanxing hung up the phone and looked at Lin Ke.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ke asked, looking at her.
Nanxing pulled Lin Ke to a more distant spot. Fu Yunchuan wanted to follow, but Nanxing gave him a cold look.
"Don't follow."
Fu Yunchuan gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand still, his eyes fixed on the spot where Nanxing was holding Lin Ke's wrist.
"Senior brother, you should go back first." Nanxing told Lin Ke directly what Feng Jiejie had just said.
"I'll go give Qinbao's gift to her best friend first. You go back and stay with Amy; she needs you right now. I'd like to go back with you too."
But I promised Qinbao, and Amy has always wanted us to stay away from her mother, so we can't be with you.”
Lin Ke's expression gradually turned serious, showing more worry and heartache.
“I can go back first, but what about you, Fu Yunchuan…”
"Don't worry about me, I can handle it. I'm not that weak. Fu Yunchuan won't do anything to me now."
"Okay, I'll take a taxi to the airport first. You can drive this car back and leave it here."
"can."
Lin Ke turned around and walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, got in, and drove away.
Fu Yunchuan didn't expect Lin Ke to leave alone first, especially since his expression wasn't good when he left.
He didn't think it was because of a dispute with Nanxing, because Nanxing looked in the direction Lin Ke left with worry in her eyes.
Fu Yunchuan was so jealous he was almost going crazy, so he walked up and blocked Nanxing's view.
"Are you really that reluctant to let him go? You're already divorced."
Nanxing looked up at him calmly, "So what if we're divorced? To me, our relationship has never changed."
Fu Yunchuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He couldn't believe that Nanxing could have such deep feelings for Lin Ke, especially since Nanxing used to like him.
"Don't forget that you and I are husband and wife now."
"Of course I haven't forgotten. I know that when I resumed my identity as Nanxing, I was the young mistress of the Fu family. But so what? I became myself again because of myself. I became the young mistress of the Fu family again because I didn't want Lu Mingzhu to get her way. And my divorce from Lin Ke was not because of you."
Fu Yunchuan, stop being so presumptuous. Don't be so hypocritical; it's disgusting. I have no intention of treating Lu Mingzhu's illness, and it's never going to happen. Instead of wasting your time here with me, you should go back and spend time with her, or try everything to prolong her life.”
“But I can assure you, she won’t survive. If there was a chance before, I guarantee she’ll die very soon now.”
Nanxing spoke with certainty; if her diagnosis of Lu Mingzhu's pulse was accurate, Lu Mingzhu indeed wouldn't live long.
But who knows if Lu Mingzhu has any other life-extending medicine? After all, Lu Mingzhu's body is very strange. She knows what her master said. Who knows if Lu Mingzhu has any other tricks up her sleeve?
Therefore, before she was certain that Lu Mingzhu had any backup plans, she would definitely not let Lu Mingzhu get what she wanted. Even if Lu Mingzhu died, she would never get what she wanted or the identity she desired.
"Why can't you trust me just this once? How do you know that my actions towards you are just an act? I really want to go back to how things were before."
Nanxing, I'll give you an answer to what happened back then very soon. In your eyes, I'm such a heinous person that I could be so cruel as to harm my own wife and children, is that it?
Fu Yunchuan held Nanxing's shoulders, forcing Nanxing to look directly at him, not giving Nanxing a chance to escape.
Nanxing looked closely into Fu Yunchuan's eyes and saw that her own reflection was all she could see. Suddenly, she found it all quite ridiculous.
Back then, all she wanted was for Fu Yunchuan to have even the smallest place for her in his heart, even if it was just a tiny bit.
She didn't dare to hope that she could leave a place in Fu Yunchuan's heart; she just thought that it would be enough for Fu Yunchuan to see her.
But later she realized that Fu Yunchuan could never have her in his heart or in his eyes. She never expected that after so many years, in a foreign land, she would see her own reflection in Fu Yunchuan's eyes. How ridiculous!
She raised her hand and brushed away Fu Yunchuan's hand that was on her shoulder.
"Fu Yunchuan, before you say these words, can you even deceive your own heart? Go back to the way things were? What do you take me for, Nanxing? Someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"
