Sitting in the car, Lin Qingqing's thoughts drifted away again. At this time, she was about to go to the hospital to see Xu Yanran, but the picture in the car was chattering about various entertainment news in S City recently.

"Uncle Wang, turn it off." She explained lightly.

After turning off the radio, the whole car finally fell silent. Lin Qingqing closed his eyes again and fell into his own thoughts.

The Ou family's press conference is about to be held, and Lin Qingqing has almost prepared the materials at hand. was going to take one last look at Ou Yuanlan, but because the tax bureau has been closely watched by the Ou family recently, in order not to arouse their suspicion, she just did it.

Recently, because she has been busy solving the things that Ou Yuanlan told her, she has not been able to find time to see Xu Yanran.

It's not that this friend is not important to her, but she has a lot of headaches for herself, and it is inconvenient to trouble her friends anymore.

The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Lin Qingqing opened the car door and got out of the car, and then took the fruits and nutritional products prepared in advance from Uncle Wang.

According to the ward that Xu Yanran had told before, Lin Qingqing looked for it with ease. As for the hospital, because she has been here many times, she is no stranger to it.

Standing at the door of the ward, she first knocked politely. After all, if you are visiting a patient in the hospital, you still have to understand the basic courtesy.

In a few moments, the door creaked open. "Qingqing, you're here." Xu Yanran squeezed out a smile, but anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see the pale weakness in her smile.

Looking at her distressedly, Lin Qingqing asked in a low voice, "How is uncle?" "Visiting Xu Yanran's father, this is the main purpose of her coming here today.

"I just got a painkiller injection and I'm already asleep." Xu Yanran glanced into the ward and said. "Let's go out and talk." She gestured to the rest area outside.

Nodding, Lin Qingqing agreed. "Well, these things are for my uncle, I hope he can recover soon." She said, handing over what she was holding.

Taking the fruits and nutritional products in Lin Qingqing's hand, Xu Yanran expressed her gratitude. "Thank you."

The two sat down in the rest area of the hospital, because it wasn't a special café or bubble tea shop, they just ordered a cup of herbal tea at random.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for a few days, but Lin Qingqing suddenly feels a little alienated between the two. I don't know where that alienation comes from, but it always makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

In the end, it was she who opened her mouth first. "Yanran, you...... How is it with Jiang Shang? As soon as she said that, she regretted it.

Originally, the two of them sat here at this time and didn't know what to say, but she actually picked a topic that was most detrimental to the development of dialogue. The next thing is estimated to be cold, Lin Qingqing thought sadly.

"If nothing else, when he comes back, I should consider staying with him." To Lin Qingqing's surprise, Xu Yanran actually gave an answer, and it was an answer that she couldn't have imagined.

A month ago, Xu Yanran obviously refused to let go. At that time, whether it was her and Jiang Nuan's persuasion, or Jiang Shang's various cares that Jiang Shang took the initiative to send to the door, she was rejected thousands of miles away.

But now? It's just that Jiang Shang disappeared for a while, why did she suddenly change her words? Is it really that you can't get it and it's always in turmoil?

However, this doesn't sound like a compliment, so it's not good for Lin Qingqing to say it directly and ask Xu Yanran. "You...... What the hell do you think? After a long time, she asked in a roundabout way.

Xu Yanran, who was as hard as a stone some time ago, now seems to have been melted, and sitting in the warm yellow light of the rest area, the whole person has become soft.

That kind of softness that comes from the bones can never be a problem with the light. Lin Qingqing finally understood where the sense of alienation between the two came from, because the person sitting in front of her had changed unconsciously.

"My dad wanted me to be with him and wanted me to marry him." Xu Yanran took a sip of herbal tea mixed with more white water, which seemed a little bland and tasteless. "Now, after all, he's the only living person who can meet the conditions." The tone of this sentence was inexplicably mocking.

Because he knew this friend well enough, Lin Qingqing immediately heard the point. Not "conditions met", but "only" and "living." ”

If it weren't for Su Cheng's departure, then the person who took Xu Yanran's hand and walked into the wedding hall or even grew old with a white head should be him. But now, it seems unlikely.

In one of the few understandings of love, Lin Qingqing stubbornly believes that only love and love can be used as the benchmark of married life.

So listening to Xu Yanran's helpless words at this moment, she suddenly didn't know what to say. As a friend, this is what she has always wanted to see.

Putting aside Xu Yanran's feelings, Jiang Shang is indeed a good choice, and even Lin Qingqing hopes that she can accept him. But now that she really heard these words coming out of Xu Yanran's mouth, she felt inexplicably sad.

Can two people who don't love each other really be happy when they get married? Lin Qingqing didn't know, and he didn't dare to imagine. Every day in front of the face of the person I don't love at all, I'm afraid I can't even squeeze out a smile.

"Yanran, it should be up to you, you have to really like it when you get married......" Before Lin Qingqing's words of consolation were finished, he was interrupted by Xu Yanran forcefully.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Qingqing, and the stubbornness in her eyes appeared again. "I love Sioux City and I want to marry him, but so what?" Every word, like a knife, slashed on her own heart.

Lin Qingqing, who originally thought she could say something, was suddenly speechless, and she realized that she was actually not talkative at all in some aspects. For example, on this topic, she didn't have any way to comfort Xu Yanran.

knew that it was a helpless choice, but she could only watch and could do nothing. It's like watching a drowning person sink down, but she doesn't have anything in her hand to throw at him.

"Maybe I'll accept him later, after all, he's a good choice." Xu Yanran's eyes drifted away, as ethereal as smoke.

There are many people in this world who don't love each other but can get married and even have children, so there is no more of her, and no less of her. After going through so much, Xu Yanran has lost her initial stubbornness.

There is no way to continue this topic. "Yanran, I have something to ask you for tomorrow." She changed the subject.

"What's the matter?" Raising her head again and looking at Lin Qingqing, the smoke under her eyes had dissipated.
