Because she was addicted

pain!

My heart felt like it was being crushed by a millstone weighing hundreds of pounds, with grains of sand stuck in my flesh, grinding it back and forth.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally managed to stand up again, leaning against the doorframe. Straightening her back, she wiped away her tears and walked outside.

Just as they turned the corner, they saw Lu Chenyan stumbling and running in.

Her tears welled up again, unable to stop themselves.

But reason told her that she absolutely could not lose face in front of Lu Chenyan.

Don't cry!

You absolutely must not cry!

I don't know how many deep breaths I took before I finally managed to hold back my tears.

"Jiajia".

Lu Chenyan rushed towards her, opening his arms to hug her, but Wen Jia dodged to the side, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

What are you doing here?

As soon as Wen Jia opened her mouth, she heard her own voice, which was heavily nasal and hoarse, as if it had been sanded countless times, making it extremely unpleasant to hear.

Her words were calm.

But it cuts like a sharp knife to the heart.

Lu Chenyan's face instantly turned ashen. He reached out and took Wen Jia's hand.

"Let's go home."

Wen Jia shoved him away.

"Go home? Go home what? Do we even have a home?"

Lu Chenyan felt as if a thousand arrows pierced his heart, because in Wen Jia's eyes there was not anger, not sadness, but unfamiliarity.

"Jiajia, don't be like this. Let's go back, and I'll explain everything to you properly..."

His lips trembled, his body leaned forward slightly, and he reached out to hug Wen Jia but dared not.

His heart sank lower and lower. Just as he was about to continue speaking, several people rushed into the corridor pushing an emergency gurney.

"Excuse me, excuse me."

The emergency bed nearly grazed Wen Jia, and Lu Chenyan quickly pulled her into his arms.

Tang Ning lay on the emergency bed, her face ashen.

A pool of glaring bloodstains stained the hem of the pristine white wedding dress.

In the instant they passed, Tang Ning grabbed Lu Chenyan's arm, her expression one of painful pleading:

"Ayan, I'm so scared. Please stay with me, please stay with me."

Tang Guoliang and his wife both turned to look at him.

Lu Chenyan's face was ashen as he pried Tang Ning's fingers apart, one by one.

"We're over. No, we never even started. Tang Ning, I don't owe you anything. Can you please stop bothering us?"

Tang Ning burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably.

Tang Guoliang angrily rebuked:

"You, surnamed Lu, are just as heartless as Fu Huaishen. What did you say when you were pursuing our Ningning?!"

"Dad, please stop. It's all my fault, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Ayan. Dad, it hurts, it hurts!"

Tang Ning cried out.

Tang Guoliang and his wife urged the medical staff to push Tang Ning to the operating room.

"Go and keep her company," Wen Jia said.

"Jiajia, things aren't what you think," Lu Chenyan explained urgently.

"What is it?"

Wen Jia remained expressionless.

"Your marriage proposal failed, and you went to Dali alone to heal your wounds. And by sheer coincidence, you ran into me. She's practically handed to you, so why not take advantage of her? Isn't that right?"

And wouldn't you know it, I'm Fu Huaishen's secretary, so you personally selected me to be your secretary. You pursued me so openly, making it known throughout the entire company and even the whole of Haicheng. Wasn't it because you wanted your sweetheart to know that as long as she was your woman, she would be unconditionally cherished and pampered to the extreme?

Don't you just want Tang Ning to see this and regret it?

Congratulations, you did it!

As you wished, your Tang Ning has regretted it now, and she will soon change her mind and come back to you!

"Jiajia, is that what you're thinking?" Lu Chenyan's face turned red and then pale.

Wen Jia clenched her fists, almost gritting her teeth.

"You didn't really mean it when you proposed to me. You saw that even though Fu Huaishen didn't want to marry Tang Ning, Tang Ning was still determined to go against the grain. You resented her and used me to provoke her!"

He proposed, gave her a house, and introduced her to his mother.

She originally thought that Lu Chenyan was in such a hurry because he really wanted to be with her day and night forever.

But the truth is, he just wanted Tang Ning to regret it!

He just wanted Tang Ning back in his life.

I just want to get all of this done before Tang Ning gets married!

"Jiajia, it's not like that, it really isn't like that. I love you, I fell in love with you at first sight, I'm with you, I proposed to you, it's all because I love you. It has absolutely nothing to do with Tang Ning!"

"Shut up!"

Wen Jia couldn't help but roar in anger.

"You're still trying to lie to me!"

Inside the hospital, medical staff and patients coming and going glanced in their direction. A young nurse wanted to come over and remind them not to make a scene, but seeing the situation, she didn't dare to approach.

Wen Jia wished she could be a little more foolish and a little more naive.

That way, as long as Lu Chenyan coaxed her, she could choose to believe him.

But the truth is, from the moment she saw the video at the hotel, all the past memories and details of her encounter with Lu Chenyan went through her mind all over again.

The difference is that she was in control before.

Now, she is re-examining all of this from a higher perspective.

Thus, all the doubts and worries of the past turned into solid evidence.

It turns out that everything was already foreshadowed.

Lu Chenyan now says he loves her.

Her mind was filled with the image of Lu Chenyan kneeling on one knee in front of Tang Ning, shouting arrogantly and unrestrainedly:

"Tang Ning! I love you! I want to marry you! You're the only one I want in this life."

He even chased after Tang Ning, shouting, "I'll keep chasing you, waiting for you, until you change your mind!"

"..."

Lu Chenyan's lips trembled twice, and his throat felt like it was stuffed with several wads of cotton, so he couldn't utter a single word.

Wen Jia turned and left.

She went downstairs and flagged down a taxi.

She only remembered that Fu Huaishen and Xiao Wu were still in the hospital after getting into the car. She went downstairs to buy food for Xiao Wu.

She took out her phone, bought dinner for Xiao Wu, and delivered it to him.

Tears blurred her vision. She didn't know how she had managed to do it successfully, or what she had clicked. Her phone screen was covered in tears.

When the car arrived at the residential area, the driver turned around, still feeling uneasy.

"Miss, are you alright? Is anyone else at home? Why don't you sit in my car a little longer? I'll take you for another drive?"

Wen Jia's eyes stung from crying.

"No."

She got off the bus.

She noticed that Lu Chenyan's car was following her at a distance, not too close, as he was about to enter the residential area.

She turned and went to the security room.

"Master, that car is not allowed to come in anymore."

The security guard recognized her.

For the past few months, Wen Jia has been riding home in Lu Chenyan's car.

Lu Chenyan's Bentley is quite eye-catching in this kind of neighborhood!

The security guard knew they were a couple, and upon hearing this,

"You had a fight with your boyfriend? Couples often make up quickly after a quarrel, there's no need to take it so seriously, right?"

Didn't you hear what I said? I'll report you!

Wen Jia slapped the windowsill.

The security guard was startled and quickly ran over, determined to force Lu Chenyan and his car out.

Lu Chenyan simply left the car at the entrance, got out, and chased after Wen Jia upstairs.

"Hey! Hey! You can't park here!" The security guard chased after them, clutching his walkie-talkie.

Lu Chenyan simply tossed the key to him.

The security guard was utterly exasperated.

The two remained silent throughout their journey into the residential compound and onto the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Wen Jia huddled in a corner as if avoiding a plague, wishing she could melt into the elevator wall and get as far away from Lu Chenyan as possible.

Lu Chenyan felt as if a huge boulder weighing millions of pounds was pressing down on his heart, making him feel extremely depressed.

He was heartbroken for a long time after his marriage proposal to Tang Ning in England was rejected. Afterwards, he tried to make amends to her.

But the truth is, after hiking in Northern Europe for a while, he was more or less over it when he returned. Later, he learned that Tang Ning liked Fu Huaishen, and that Fu Huaishen had helped him a lot during his studies in England. Gradually, Lu Chenyan convinced himself to let go.

I am sad, but it's not something I can't get over.

But this time is different.

Faced with Wen Jia's indifference, he was filled with panic, unease, anxiety, and an indescribable, agonizing feeling.

back home.

Wen Jia calmly entered the password.

Then I opened the door and took out slippers from the shoe cabinet to change my shoes.

Lu Chenyan was delighted to see that she hadn't locked him out.

It's okay if she throws a tantrum; he can coax her a little later and she'll be fine. He and Wen Jia love each other so much that they've reached the point of discussing marriage. Wen Jia has also promised him that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, she will overcome it together with him.

I saw Wen Jia put on her shoes and go upstairs with a thud.

Lu Chenyan quickly followed.

Then they saw Wen Jia pull his suitcase out of the closet and start throwing his clothes and toiletries into it...
