When Wei Yan calmed down and went to find Yue Lingling, he was shocked to discover that she had actually aborted the child!
He had already decided to raise the child, but the child is now gone.
Seeing his distress, Yue Lingling sneered, "You still want me to give birth to this mistake?"
Wei Yan exclaimed in astonishment, "That's your child! You...you've always said you're an orphan and can't feel the warmth of a family? You've always said you want to have family and relatives? That's your child, the person closest to you! How could you..."
Wei Yan couldn't continue, feeling a tightness in her chest. Yue Lingling said coldly, "Not just anyone can be my family. Wei Yan, I had a severe hemorrhage during surgery, and the doctor said I can't have children anymore."
Wei Yan's eyes widened instantly, and he stammered, "You can't have children... How could that be? Is it true?"
Yue Lingling pulled out the diagnosis report and threw it in his face. "Look at it yourself. You're the one who made me like this. You have to take responsibility!"
Wei Yan read the diagnosis three times, word by word, until he felt completely drained. After a long silence, he finally said, "I'll marry you."
Yue Lingling sneered, "Who cares about marrying you? I want you to help me pursue Brother Zifan and get him to be with me."
"Are you crazy!" Wei Yan suddenly looked up at her. "Zifan doesn't like you at all."
"I'm crazy. I can't live without Brother Zifan. Wei Yan, you've made me infertile. You have to help me." Yue Lingling approached him and stared intently into his eyes.
Wei Yan saw a morbid madness in her eyes. His first thought was: It wasn't him who made her have an abortion, so how could her infertility be his fault? Besides, that day they had sex after drinking, which was a mutual problem, not something he forced. He forgot about the birth control pill afterwards, but shouldn't she, as a woman, remember her own body? Why is she now putting all the blame on him? Is she trying to cling to him?
But then he felt sorry for her, that she was so deeply in love that she had lost her mind. Perhaps only by untying this knot could she live a good life, and only by making her completely give up on Xu Zifan could she truly let go.
Regardless, he also has a responsibility regarding the child, and he is still willing to help Yue Lingling resolve her inner conflict.
"Okay, I'll help you." Wei Yan agreed, but then he had a headache about how to contact Xu Zifan.
He tried to contact Li Dong, but Li Dong ignored him and even scolded him after learning the truth. He then contacted another friend and finally got through to Xu Zifan.
"Zifan? Long time no see. Do you still consider me a brother? How about we grab a coffee and chat?"
Xu Zifan already knew that Yue Lingling's child was Wei Yan's, and judging from Yue Lingling's appearance, he knew that the ending wouldn't be good. Of course, he could guess that Wei Yan had gotten involved with Yue Lingling again.
He said casually, "I'm shooting an advertisement in Hainan, I'm not home. Sorry, I have to go now, I'll hang up."
"Zifan?" Wei Yan sighed upon hearing the busy tone, finally realizing that Xu Zifan had broken up with him. He suddenly felt that losing a brother and getting himself into trouble because of Yue Lingling was not worth it. He developed a sense of aversion towards Yue Lingling, not wanting to answer her calls or see her.
Xu Zifan wasn't lying to him. He really was shooting an advertisement at the beach. Yu Sisi had a flexible work schedule and went on the business trip with him. She and her assistant followed Xu Zifan around. Occasionally, when she saw Xu Zifan posing for a photo shoot, she would suddenly get an inspiration and sit down to quickly draw design sketches.
After filming the commercial in the sea, Xu Zifan dried himself off and sat down next to her, asking, "How about we move to a different city?"
Yu Sisi turned to look at him. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Xu Zifan put his hands behind his head, lay on the recliner under the parasol, and said, "My job offers more opportunities and better development in a first-tier city, and so does yours. Also, there's something about my neighbor; let me tell you about her."
Xu Zifan told Yu Sisi about Yue Lingling's situation without hiding anything, saying frankly, "After I confirmed that she liked me, I tried my best to avoid suspicion and stopped seeing her, but she doesn't seem to understand what giving up means, she's too stubborn."
I don't really care what she does, but she's not targeting me, she prefers targeting my girlfriend. I'm worried that she might harm you when I'm not around.
Even without these things, her constant attempts to contact me and disrupt our lives are a nuisance. Especially for my parents, who still have some feelings for her and don't want to confront her directly, her constant bothering makes them afraid to come home, forcing them to travel all the time, which isn't a good solution.
Besides, if we have children in the future, we'll also have to consider their safety. So it might be better to move to a better city and get rid of this trouble. What do you think?
Yu Sisi blushed slightly when he mentioned children, then seriously considered what he said. Actually, she didn't feel any attachment to the city where she grew up; the only thing she couldn't bear to leave was her grandmother. Most of the competitions she participated in were in Beijing, and sometimes she even went abroad. In fact, after graduating from university, she frequently traveled for work, and her best friend had already settled abroad, so moving wouldn't be difficult at all.
She had never met Yue Lingling, but someone who could ruin two of Xu Zifan's relationships, make him so wary, and even make his parents hide away must have some issues. Even if she wasn't as scary as Xu Zifan described, her frequent appearances in their lives were still quite annoying.
Yu Sisi frankly shared these thoughts with Xu Zifan, who immediately said, "We can..."
We could ask Grandma's opinion. If she's willing, she can live with us. When we're all away on business, my parents can stay with her, or hiring a nanny would be very convenient.
Yu Sisi's eyes lit up. "Is that okay? You'd like to live with the elderly?"
Xu Zifan laughed and said, "Of course, why wouldn't I want to? She's not the kind of unreasonable old lady who likes to cause trouble. I really like Grandma. We'll buy a spacious house in a good location with parks and other elderly people nearby, so Grandma will be comfortable living there. During holidays, we can all go on vacation to places with beautiful scenery and fresh air, instead of always living in Beijing."
"Okay, I'll ask Grandma when I get back." Yu Sisi agreed, but then she realized that what Xu Zifan was talking about was their married life. He hadn't even proposed yet, and they had only just gotten together. How could they be discussing married life so naturally?
Xu Zifan saw through her thoughts, reached out and ruffled her hair, chuckling softly, "You're already trapped by me, don't think about anything else."
Yu Sisi found it both funny and infuriating. After she met him, he had been leading her by the nose in everything, but he took good care of her, and she was happy to accept it.
She suddenly thought of a saying: Only when you meet the right person do you realize what happiness truly looks like.
The assistant saw their interaction from a short distance away and thought it was so sweet, especially when they smiled and looked at each other. The whole area was filled with pink bubbles, so she quickly took out her phone and captured the moment.
The photos were so beautiful, the happiness and sweetness overflowing from the screen made my assistant give herself a thumbs up and run off to show them.
Xu Zifan laughed and said, "Here's a red envelope for you. Take more photos like this in the future."
The assistant happily agreed and sent the photos to both of their phones. Xu Zifan immediately posted on his WeChat Moments with the caption: "[For the rest of my life, you will be all I see.]"
His friends saw the post on WeChat Moments immediately and were all happy for him, leaving a neat row of comments saying, "Congratulations! May you grow old together and live a happy life."
They all knew him and Yue Lingling, and felt particularly sorry for him. This time, he finally found a girlfriend who was so compatible and whom he liked so much, so of course they wanted to help him out. They had already privately discussed helping Xu Zifan leave Yue Lingling and Wei Yan behind.
Li Dong went directly to Wei Yan and showed him Xu Zifan's WeChat Moments, solemnly saying, "I'll consider what happened before as your fault. Zifan already has a girlfriend he likes and is living a happy life. Don't interfere anymore. You and Yue Lingling should resolve your own issues. Who's right and who's wrong has nothing to do with Zifan. Wei Yan, you need to understand, by trying to matchmake Zifan and Yue Lingling, you're not helping Yue Lingling, but harming Zifan. Don't make me look down on you."
Wei Yan wiped his face wearily and replied in a deep voice, "I understand. I won't look for Zifan again, don't worry."
Yue Lingling kept urging Wei Yan, but Wei Yan was determined this time. He felt that if he continued like this, his other friends might not recognize him anymore. Besides, Xu Zifan already had a stable girlfriend; wouldn't helping Yue Lingling break up a perfectly good couple?
While the two of them were still entangled, Yu Sisi obtained her grandmother's consent and moved to Beijing with Xu Zifan and her grandmother.
They bought two apartments facing each other, one for each floor. Yu Sisi lived with her grandmother, and Xu Zifan lived with his parents.
It was easy for Xu Zifan to persuade his parents, who were the ones who wanted the best for their son. In order to prevent them from seeing Yue Lingling again and feeling upset, Xu Zifan let them move into the new house and went back to the Xu family home to pack all his belongings.
He had been in this world for several months and had already cultivated to a considerable level. It would be easy for him to go home without Yue Lingling finding out, so as to avoid running into her and causing trouble. He didn't like those tearful, love-struck people.
Using his spiritual power, he packed and organized all of his family's belongings in two hours. Important documents and other valuables were placed in his spatial storage. The rest was transported away by a housekeeping company the next day while Yue Lingling was at work. He then gave the keys to a real estate agent to list the property for sale, and returned to Beijing.
When Yue Lingling got home from get off work, she habitually glanced at the window next door and was shocked to find it empty. She ran over and peered through the window, only to find that there was only furniture left inside; everything else was gone. She immediately became frightened and hurriedly called Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Zifan, but all calls went unanswered. She then called Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was also blocked by Xu Zifan. Seeing how anxious she was, she could only ask her friend, only to find out that Xu Zifan had moved to another city, but no one knew exactly where.
Yue Lingling hadn't fully recovered from her abortion and hadn't even had proper postpartum care. Upon hearing this, she fainted, and it was her neighbor who took her to the hospital.
She woke up and tried everything to find Xu Zifan, only to discover, to her dismay, that she could only see him on television now…
