The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 78
byChapter 78
Looking at Lan Yuan’s honest sleeping appearance, Shen Xian felt like he was back to the past. He squatted beside the bed and watched quietly for a long time, with gentleness in his brows.
Yuanyuan has grown up by seven years, but her appearance is still the same as when she was eighteen or nineteen years old. Her curly hair is even more beautiful when it is spread out than when it is tied up. She still looks like a girl.
However, Chen Xian also noticed the wound at the corner of Lan Yuan’s mouth, and remembered that it was caused by his impulsiveness yesterday, and felt embarrassed in his heart.
Lan Yuan opened her eyes and saw Chen Xian’s gentle gaze, and smiled inadvertently.
“Good morning.” Lan Yuan greeted proactively.
“Good morning.” Shen Xian withdrew his gaze, stood up and turned his back to Lan Yuan, returning to his cold look.
“I’ll go back upstairs to change clothes and go to the station later.” Lan Yuan opened the quilt and got out of bed.
“Are you leaving now?” Chen Xian asked, and she was worried that Lan Yuan would abandon her.
“Yes, I have to go back and deal with some things.” Lan Yuan made an excuse, but actually it was——
She didn’t dare to stay any longer. She was afraid that if she stayed one more night, she would break the rules. Even if she didn’t share the same bed or stayed in the same space for a long time, she would feel longing for him!
“Okay, then you have a good journey.” Shen Xian pursed his lips and said pretending to be relaxed.
“Will you come back to Aurous Hill? If not, I will go see you after I finish handling the matters at hand.” Lan Yuan asked.
“I’ll go back.” Chen Xian knew from Lan Yuan’s words that they could see each other again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, see you in Jinling.” Lan Yuan left the room.
After returning to her room, Lan Yuan looked in the mirror and noticed the scar on the corner of her mouth. She suddenly felt that it might be better not to return to Jinling, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstandings.
After washing up and changing clothes, Lan Yuan opened the door and found Shen Xian standing at the door waiting for her.
“It fits quite well, not bad!” Shen Xian looked at the effect of his clothes on Lan Yuan’s body, which looked beautiful.
“We have similar figures, so it’s natural for us to be suitable.” Lan Yuan responded.
“You’re not as tall as me,” Shen Xian squatted down and helped Lan Yuan roll up his trouser legs, “so I still have to roll up my trouser legs.”
Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian who was squatting down, and suddenly her eyes turned red, remembering the past——
Eight years ago, when Shen Xian came to pick her up from get off work, she also squatted down to help her trouser legs. She also jokingly called herself her wife.
“Goodbye, take care of yourself.” Lan Yuan waited for Shen Xian to help her roll up her trouser legs, and immediately walked to the elevator, not daring to look back. She was afraid that Shen Xian would find out that she was crying.
Shen Xian waved goodbye to Lan Yuan’s back and shed tears of farewell. She did not catch up because she was afraid that Lan Yuan would find her crying.
At eight o’clock in the evening, before Shen Xian went on stage to perform, he looked at his watch and guessed that Lan Yuan had almost arrived home.
When he returned to the hotel at ten o’clock in the evening, Shen Xian was stopped by the front desk——
“Excuse me, madam, do you live in room 326?” the waiter asked.
“Yes.” Chen Xian nodded.
“This is what Ms. Lan in room 520 asked me to give to you.” The waiter handed a handbag to Shen Xian.
Chen Xian knew it was something Lan Yuan gave him, so he immediately took it and couldn’t wait to go back to the room and open it——
It’s a box of candy and a card.
The candies are exactly the same as the chocolate candies that Shen Xian gave Lan Yuan.
The following content is written on the piece of paper——
“Remember to take one pill every day to avoid fainting again. I will refill it for you after you finish it. – Blue Kite Book”
Shen Xian was happy for a long time because of the words “I’ll refill it for you after eating”, and he couldn’t stop the smile on his lips.
Lan Yuan will renew it for herself, which means there will be opportunities to meet again in the future.
Lan Yuan was delayed for buying candies for Shen Xian. She didn’t arrive at Jinling at eight o’clock in the evening and didn’t get off the train until ten o’clock.
After getting off the train, Lan Yuan did not go back to Zhao’s house, but went back to the home where she and Shen Xian once lived together.
The next morning, Lan Yuan woke up and knocked on Feng Jia’s door.
Feng Jia welcomed the people in and poured coffee for Lan Yuan.
“What’s going on with your mouth?” Feng Jia knew that Zhao Wencheng and Lan Yuan had a marriage in name only, so he was sure that Lan Yuan had something else going on.
“Shenchen bit it the night before yesterday.” Lan Yuan said lightly.
Feng Jia dropped the cup without holding it steady. She knew Lan Yuan would go out of her way, but she didn’t expect it to be so fast!
“Nothing happened. She thought I was the person in her dream who bit me, so I pushed her away.” Lan Yuan vowed, she was afraid that Feng Jia would misunderstand.
However, although Chen Xian regarded Lan Yuan as the person in his dream, Lan Yuan clearly knew that Shen Xian was the person in front of him.
And Shen Xian used too much force at that time, and the sweet and fishy taste spread in his mouth. Lan Yuan did feel it in her body, but she didn’t dare to respond.
“You don’t have any trouble sitting in your arms. Cousin, you are a gentleman.” Feng Jia gave a thumbs up and said to Lan Yuan.
“But I won’t go back to Zhao’s house these days. I plan to go back after the wound on my mouth has healed in two days.” Lan Yuan continued.
“I support it.” Feng Jia also knew that Lan Yuan’s mouth could easily be misunderstood.
“Then why did you come to see me today?” Feng Jia asked while cleaning up the mess of cups.
“It’s not convenient for me to go out. I’m afraid that someone will recognize me for going back and forth to Aurous Hill. Please help me make an appointment for someone to come to my place. I have something to ask.” Lan Yuan said.
“No problem.”
The person Lan Yuan asked Feng Jia to help make an appointment was Hunter.
Hunter also found out from the note written by Lan Yuan that the real buyer of Shen Xian’s house was Lan Yuan.
“Uncle, please come in.” Lan Yuan opened the door for the visitor.
“You actually bought this house.” Hunter said to Lan Yuan.
“I’ll never forget it. I can’t bear to let others live in this house.” Lan Yuan said while serving tea to Hunter.
“If you really couldn’t bear it, you wouldn’t abandon Ann.” Hunter teased. She didn’t want to see Lan Yuan’s affectionate look now.
“I made an appointment with my uncle today because I wanted to know why Shen Xian didn’t board the ship back to England on July 15, 1929, and what happened in the meantime.” Lan Yuan got straight to the point and went straight to the point.
“Is it useful to know this?” Hunter didn’t want to talk about old things anymore. He knew that these things would only add to Lan Yuan’s distress.
“It works.” Lan Yuan said firmly, “Only by knowing the past can I save the present.”
Seeing Lan Yuan’s determined eyes, Hunter knew that if he didn’t tell her today, she would continue to ask questions. He took a sip of tea and told those old things——
“I was watching Ann waiting for you quietly at the pier. It was past the time to board the ship and you didn’t come. She was completely despairing, without any trace of vitality. She was completely withered.”
“When the hospital was rescuing her, Ann kept calling your name, begging you not to leave.”
“After the anesthesia was over, half of her liver was gone, and she didn’t complain of pain. She didn’t complain of pain when the incision was inflamed. But the day she found out you were pregnant, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t even walk.”
…………
“Ann is burning herself to love you, loving you with her whole life.”
Lan Yuan learned from Hunter’s story that Shen Xian gave up on boarding the ship, cut his wrists twice, had his liver removed, was depressed and lonely, and came to Yangzhou to find out she was pregnant unexpectedly.
Lan Yuan never thought that her wedding day would be the end of Shen Xian’s life. Her Shen Xian actually lost half of her liver. She almost died in Yangzhou Hospital because there was no special medicine, and she couldn’t afford to be sick because of the stimulation of her pregnancy.
“Uncle, why didn’t you tell me all this earlier?” Lan Yuan expressed her anger at Hunter.
“Is it useful to tell you?” Hunter sneered.
“It works. If I had known all this at that time, I would have returned to Shen Xian immediately.” Lan Yuan said excitedly, with fierce words.
If she knew that Shen Xian would die because of the breakup, she would not let go, not because of her guilt for the Lan family and Su Wan!
Lan Yuan thought that letting go would make Shen Xian a better person and a proud woman who would be noticed, but he didn’t expect that he would push her into a pit of fire.
This series of misfortunes are all caused by myself!
“You were married and pregnant at the time. If I went to find you, wouldn’t I be humiliating myself on Ann’s behalf?” Hunter lost his good temper.
“I don’t love Shen Xian. I said those words on purpose. I thought she would come out after the breakup and have a better life.” Lan Yuan choked and said, constantly hammering her heart.
“You love her?” Hunter sneered, “You’d better not love her now. You’re a married person and you’re not worthy of love.”
After saying this, Hunter was so angry that he slammed the door and left.In his heart, Ann suffered a thousand times worse than Lan Yuan, and Lan Yuan did not deserve to be forgiven!
After Hunter left, Lan Yuan burst into tears, buried her head on the table, vented her regrets, and kept hammering her chest with her hands.
Her tears were uncontrollable, and she cried out all her years of forbearance, longing, and endless love for Shen Xian.
Lan Yuan admitted that she regretted——
She regrets marrying Zhao Wencheng, regrets being trapped by the fear of dragging down Shen Xian, regrets being kidnapped by Su Wan with her unexpectedly aborted child, but what she most regrets most is abandoning Shen Xian, causing an irreparable tragedy.
And Lisa said that after experiencing so much hurt, Shen Xian still firmly believed that she and Lan Yuan truly loved each other and were in love with each other.
Lisa repeatedly emphasized that Shen Xian was only blaming Lan Yuan for abandoning her, and Shen Xian had never doubted Lan Yuan’s love.
What kind of belief is supporting Shen Xian to believe this? Lan Yuan dare not imagine how much love Shen Xian hides behind these determination and loyalty.
For the first time, Lan Yuan felt that she was completely unworthy of Shen Xian’s love.
Walking into the kitchen, Lan Yuan picked up the fruit knife and cut her wrist hard. Blood flowed out, as if there were millions of ants crawling there, and it was painful.
Shen Xian did this kind of thing twice, and even after doing it twice, he still loved Lan Yuan deeply and firmly believed that Lan Yuan had never changed his heart.
By torturing her body, Lan Yuan knew for the first time the turbulence and madness of Shen Xian’s love!
There is nothing more unbearable than this!
Lan Yuan feels that she cannot bear this love, but she also knows that she must hold up Shen Xian’s love and prevent her from falling!
My heart is too thick to be rolled up, and my heart is too thick to be turned around.
Chen Xian is the mat that cannot be rolled and the stone that cannot be turned. Her persistence and loyalty in love are enough to shake Lan Yuan’s entire universe.
From this moment on, Lan Yuan was completely shaken. She no longer cared about other people. The only thing she had to do was to take good care of her Shen Chen!
