“Yes, her illness can’t be agitated. You’re not allowed to say such things in the future,” Chen Chen warned seriously.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop talking about it. You’ve been so serious all these years when Hu Wan was mentioned. She’s really the apple of your eye.” Ye Lin pursed his lips. “How boring.”

The next second, Ye Lin seemed to have thought of something and added, “Since you care so much about Hu Wan, why were you still so angry when you saw me touching Ran Ran’s head this afternoon?”

“Shouldn’t I be angry? She’s my wife.” Chen Chen glanced at Ye Lin.

“Wife? You two are already divorced, okay?” Ye Lin rolled his eyes.

“Not yet,” Chen Chen said coldly.

“What do you mean? Didn’t you say she signed the divorce agreement last time?” Ye Lin was a little curious.

“But I never did.”

“Huh? Why didn’t you sign it? Weren’t you waiting to marry Hu Wan?” Ye Lin really couldn’t understand what this fellow was thinking.

“Put it aside for now. It doesn’t matter if I don’t sign it,” Chen Chen said, unwilling to think about the divorce agreement.

“Then what about your Hu Wan?” Ye Lin was confused.

As they were talking, Chen Chen’s WeChat rang. Chen Chen opened it and saw that it was Hu Wan. “Ah Chen, why are you gone? Can you come back? I’m so scared alone.”

“Tsk, look at your little sweetheart. A day apart feels like three years.” Ye Lin glanced at the message and teased, “Hurry up and go back. Don’t make her unhappy.”

“I don’t want to go anymore.” Chen Chen sighed and locked the screen.

“Huh? Weren’t you always with Hu Wan in the past?” Ye Lin asked.

“No, don’t talk about her anymore.” Chen Chen was a little frustrated.

“Then tell me about Ran Ran. You’re already so unhappy to see me touching your head. What if she finds a boyfriend? If you keep dragging this on, won’t you be delaying her?!” Ye Lin was a little unhappy when he thought about how Chen Chen had stopped him in the morning.

“In short, if I don’t sign it, she can’t do anything. No one can do anything to her,” Chen Chen said domineeringly.

“I don’t know what you mean. You’re letting a young lady stay alone all day?”

“Is this something an outsider like you should be concerned about?” Chen Chen said unhappily.

“Why can’t I? If I can’t control you, why can’t I control her?” Ye Lin smiled, wanting to anger him.

“What do you mean?” Chen Chen turned and asked.

“I said I would introduce a boyfriend to her this afternoon.” Ye Lin raised his eyebrows proudly and looked at Chen Chen provocatively.

“She agreed?” Chen Chen asked, his brows already beginning to furrow.

“Of course. She agreed well and said she would listen to me.” Ye Lin found it very funny.

“Is that so?” Chen Chen asked thoughtfully.

After leaving Ye Lin’s side, Chen Chen drove to the hospital and stayed outside.

Bai Ran’s mother’s condition had never been good. He was a little worried. If Bai Ran did not let him in, he would not go in. He would just guard her silently.

Furthermore, he felt a little uneasy today as if something was about to happen.

Chen Chen was a little frustrated. It seemed that ever since Bai Ran returned, his mood changes had been a little unpredictable. He also paid more attention to Bai Ran’s matters. Otherwise, why was he guarding here in the middle of the night?

But why?

Was it because he liked her?

No, no, no. It was impossible. Bai Ran had always been a little sister to him. How could he like his own sister?

Yes, she was a little sister to him!

That’s right. He treated Bai Ran as his younger sister and Bai Ran’s mother as his own. Furthermore, in name, she was also his wife. Therefore, he would definitely care about Bai Ran.

Chen Chen was a little speechless. He could not understand such simple logic.

Chen Chen watched as the lights in Bai Ran’s mother’s ward were switched off. He sat in the car in a daze.

At two or three o’clock, the light in the ward suddenly switched on and did not go out for a long time. Chen Chen realized that something was wrong.

He quickly opened the car door and rushed to the ward.

When he arrived at the ward and stopped in his tracks, he saw Bai Ran crying in front of the bed.

She pulled the bed tightly. It was already covered with a white sheet.

“Miss Bai, we can understand your feelings, but she’s already gone. Please let your mother go in peace.” The doctor and nurses stood beside Bai Ran, wanting her to let go.

“No! My mother isn’t gone yet!” Bai Ran cried heartbreakingly.

“Look, her hand is still hot! She didn’t leave!” Bai Ran grabbed her mother’s hand and showed it to the doctors.

The doctor and nurses sighed, not knowing how to persuade her.

In the midst of her distress, Chen Chen ran over and separated Bai Ran and her mother’s hands, pulling Bai Ran into his arms.
