Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Confession
Where is Lian Qingyang that Tang Yue is so worried about?
He’s been by Xu Zhi’s side every day, watching Xu Zhi fawn over Jin Yan, wanting to rush forward and beat Xu Zhi up.
But, on second thought, if he did it in front of Jin Yan, she’d definitely have a bad impression of him.
Lian Qingyang quietly follows Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi is the team leader and doesn’t always have the time to come out, so Lian Qingyang uses Si Yu’s convenience, going to the company as a family member to secretly observe Xu Zhi.
Unfortunately, the company is a place with strict discipline, and after several days, Lian Qingyang hasn’t found anything.
"Could it be that he really fell for Jin Yan at first sight?" Lian Qingyang mutters while driving a low-key black Volkswagen, gazing out.
Suddenly, Lian Qingyang sees Xu Zhi driving away, and he quickly steps on the gas to follow.
He follows him all the way to the hospital.
Why is he going to the hospital?
With doubts in his mind, Lian Qingyang tilts his head to think. Jin Yan doesn’t seem to be sick; she’s just recovered.
Could it be that Xu Zhi is sick?
No, that’s not right.
Lian Qingyang internally refutes: Xu Zhi looks full of vigor, not like he’s sick at all.
Lian Qingyang secretly follows Xu Zhi to the doctor’s office in the hospital, glancing over—it’s the surgical outpatient clinic.
Unable to go in easily, Lian Qingyang is considering how to get inside when he suddenly sees Xu Zhi come out, accompanied by another doctor. The way Xu Zhi looks at that doctor is unusual, full of affection, and his gaze carries a flattering meaning.
Seeing this, Lian Qingyang’s eyes widen instantly, and he follows them all the way to a small garden at the back of the hospital, which is specially prepared for patients, a tranquil and secluded place with many benches to sit and bask in the sun.
"Xiao Hong, if you want to sentence me, at least give me a chance to explain myself, right?" Xu Zhi says seriously, stepping forward to hold Fan Hong’s hand, but Fan Hong takes a step back, asking with reddened eyes, "I heard you’re dating an employee of Mr. Meng’s wife. Why are you here looking for me?"
Fan Hong’s eyes are reddened as she looks at Xu Zhi. Initially, she believed they could last forever, have a happy family, but...
It was all just her wishful thinking. She’s considered for so many days, even thinking of taking a step back, believing it’s normal for a man of Xu Zhi’s age to want marriage and children. Who knew reality would harshly slap her before she made up her mind?
"Xiao Hong, it’s not like that." Xu Zhi opens his mouth to explain but doesn’t know what to say. There’s seemingly no progress between Jin Yan and Lian Qingyang, but his fiancée is on the verge of leaving.
Urgently, Xu Zhi takes a step forward, saying, "Xiao Hong, from the beginning to the end, there’s no one I want to marry but you."
"I know you don’t want to get married now, and I think you’re right. Let’s each take a step back. We’ll marry in a year, okay? I’ll convince my parents." Xu Zhi speaks passionately, seeing Fan Hong’s shocked and incredulous expression, he adds, "Or, let’s follow your plan and marry in two years. You can have children whenever you want, okay?"
His last words seem to carry a pleading tone of appeasement.
Before Fan Hong can respond, Lian Qingyang can’t hold back anymore, rushing out to punch Xu Zhi.
"Two-timing scoundrel!"
"No, you’re worse than a beast."
Lian Qingyang is furious. He knew that if he didn’t watch over Jin Yan, she’d be deceived left and right.
How can someone be so shameless?
"Lian Qingyang!" Xu Zhi, upon seeing Lian Qingyang appear, realizes that he’s misunderstood, but catching Fan Hong’s worried look out of the corner of his eye, he doesn’t retaliate.
"Vile person, people like you don’t deserve to be called human." Lian Qingyang is nearly driven mad with fury; on one side, there’s a matchmaking with Jin Yan, and on the other, he professes there’s no one else he’d marry but this doctor—is he planning to marry both?
"You’ve misunderstood."
Xu Zhi doesn’t mind being insulted or hit, but he can’t tolerate his character being sullied.
Xu Zhi straightens up, a solemn righteousness in his voice as he declares, "I’m a man who loves only Xiao Hong. I act with a clear conscience."
"Pah."
Lian Qingyang doesn’t believe him.
"Xu Zhi." Fan Hong steps forward emotionally, seeing blood on Xu Zhi’s lips from the punch, tenderly taking a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe it.
Xu Zhi grabs Fan Hong’s hand, confessing affectionately, "Xiao Hong, I’ve never had any inappropriate relations with Ms. Jin. She’s like a god-sister to me, she’s met my parents, and they recognize her as a god-daughter."
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Fan Hong suddenly feels that the restless days she’s had, unable to sleep, wondering if Xu Zhi betrayed her, have been for nothing, just an unfounded scare.
"Xiao Hong, what I said is entirely true."
Seeing her silent, Xu Zhi fears that she doesn’t believe him and raises his hand to swear, "Xiao Hong, every word I’ve spoken is true. If it’s not, may I never live..." die.
Before that final word comes out, Fan Hong stops it with her hand, eyes misty with tears, knowing he hasn’t betrayed her, she sobs, "Let’s get married now. After marriage, I can keep working like Mrs. Meng, unless you want me not to work?"
"Alright, alright, you can work if you want, continue studying if you want. Everything according to you." Xu Zhi beams with joy. Previously, they were like needle against awl, neither willing to budge, resulting in mutual harm.
Even if they’d managed to marry, this issue would become a lingering rift between them. But now things are different—now that Xu Zhi knows Fan Hong is willing to compromise for her, he’s content. He couldn’t bear for Fan Hong to leave her beloved work for him.
Lian Qingyang looks bewilderedly at the couple embracing before him. Wasn’t there supposed to be matchmaking, how’d it turn into a god-sister relationship?
If it were others, they might leave space for the loving couple, but Lian Qingyang can’t be bothered with such matters, stepping forward to separate Xu Zhi, incredulously asking, "Xu Zhi, is what you said true? When did you recognize Jin Yan as a sister? My sister’s studio colleagues all said you were getting married."
"Did Miss Jin confirm it?" Xu Zhi counters.
Lian Qingyang struggles to recall—it seems nothing was said.
The more Lian Qingyang thinks about it, the more off it seems. When he gets home and asks Tang Yue, Tang Yue looks at him like he’s foolish and says, "Yong Mei and the others just mentioned celebrating Jin Yan’s wedding; did they say Jin Yan is marrying Xu Zhi?"
