Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I Want to Break Off the Engagement

Sensing Lin Qian’s intention, Yin Moran didn’t let go of her hand, but rather his thin lips slightly parted, "The night is deep, and there is still a distance to the mountain top from here; who knows what might be in the forest..."

What might be what?

Lin Qian’s movement paused, and she unconsciously drew closer to him, wishing only to quickly leave this place flanked by the forest on both sides.

"Let’s keep going," she suggested, "One final push, don’t stop now."

The small hand in the palm of his was delicate, damp with a thin layer of sweat.

Her almond-shaped eyes darted around, like a frightened little deer.

Indeed, she was a woman with little courage.

Yin Moran found this amusing, intending to continue guiding her by the hand up the path, but then something crossed his mind.

He let go of her hand, staring down.

Her foot had only just recovered a few days ago, and walking like this...

Yin Moran’s lips pursed slightly as he draped his jacket over her, then turned and crouched in front of Lin Qian.

"Get on."

Lin Qian: "..."

Really?

Yin Moran was going to carry her again?

"That is, Yin Moran..."

"If you don’t want to go back to the hospital, stop complaining."

So fierce!

As always, imperiously so.

Lin Qian bit her lip, but her heart rippled quietly.

Indeed, her ankle was painfully sore. Without further hesitation, Lin Qian gently leaned onto the man’s back.

The man’s strong arms tenderly lifted her by the buttocks, carrying her steadily upwards.

Her body swayed lightly with his stride, like the comfort he provided, allowing her to gradually calm down.

Thinking back to the last time, when he had carried her like this, leading her out of a tough spot, Lin Qian curved her lips into a smile, warmth filling her heart.

The pain inside should still be there, yet it seemed to dull considerably due to his forceful intervention.

Lin Qian sighed deeply, staring at the scenery ahead in a daze.

"I know about Yu’an," Yin Moran’s voice suddenly broke the silence, pulling Lin Qian back to the moment.

He knew?

Knew what?

Did he know how Su Yu’an and she had broken up?

Or did he know that Su Yu’an had been hospitalized today because of her?

It must be that he knew everything, given that Nangong Li was involved.

"Su Yu’an, he... Is he your cousin?"

Lin Qian pursed her lips, surprised to discover the cousin relationship between Su Yu’an and Yin Moran.

Thinking of Mrs. Su’s words, of Su Yu’an’s forbearance, Lin Qian’s heart inevitably contracted sharply.

"Yes. He is my paternal uncle’s son. We played together as children, but after his parents got divorced, we didn’t really keep in touch."

Yin Moran spoke, "I’ve heard whispers about their family from the older generation. It was, after all, a scandal within a powerful family, so we younger ones don’t know the details too deeply."

He hadn’t expected Su Yu’an’s body to still carry toxins.

Even more unexpected was the profound depth of his feelings for Lin Qian.

He understood Su Yu’an’s thoughts.

For someone as kind as Lin Qian, hating someone can only be temporary.

But yearning for someone who has passed away, that kind of pain, might last a lifetime.

Just like him, unable to let go of the departed, struggling to move past that grief.

Yin Moran looked ahead, towards the mountain top they were about to reach, grief flickering across his eyes for just a moment.

The wind at the mountain top howled, tousling hair and dispersing wandering thoughts.

"We’ve arrived at the mountain top."

Yin Moran stood still, gently setting her down.

Lin Qian shuffled her foot and lifted her eyes to the front.

The dark starry sky shrouded the earth.

Standing at the summit and looking down below, the city lights twinkled sparsely, always offering hope.

Her mood inexplicably exhilarated.

Lin Qian let out a deep sigh, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted loudly.

"Ah!!!"

The yell echoed, its reverberations lingering in the air.

Countless emotions poured out until they dissipated in the wind.

Yin Moran stood with his hands in his pockets, tilting his head as he looked toward the slender figure of the woman, the corners of his mouth curling up.

Hospital.

Su Yu’an had awakened.

"Yu’an, you’ve finally come around."

Mrs. Su burst into tears of joy, and Gu Yan beside her was also tearful.

Su Yu’an’s thoughts slowly gathered, and she instinctively looked around, searching for Lin Qian’s figure.

She was the one who had brought him to this hospital.

Where is she now?

"Yu’an, are you looking for Lin Qian? I told her to leave."

Mrs. Su wiped away her tears, her voice slightly heavy, "You child, do you wish to die? Why didn’t you talk things through with her? She asked you to drink and you just drank? Don’t you know the condition of your own body?"

Hearing this, Su Yu’an spoke up, "Mom, did you say something to Qianqian?"

The question sounded almost like a reproach toward his own mother.

Mrs. Su was irked, "Yes, I told her to stay away from you and to stop associating with you."

He knew it would be like this!

Struggling to sit up, Gu Yan quickly moved a cushion behind him.

Su Yu’an glanced at her, then turned his gaze back to Mrs. Su.

"Mom, the person I like is Qianqian, and I want to call off my engagement with Gu Yan."

Call off the engagement!

Had he finally laid it out for his mother?

Gu Yan’s face changed, and her hands clenched into fists.

Beside him, Mrs. Su’s face darkened as well, "Yu’an, I don’t agree. Fen and I are best friends; do you expect me to break my word to my friend?"

"Mom, what about my happiness? Don’t you care about it at all?"

Su Yu’an said, "I’ve been taught since I was young that Qianqian is my bride. If I’m alive, I will only marry her. I have no emotional foundation with Gu Yan, and marrying her would hurt us both."

"The way you speak, feelings can be slowly cultivated."

Mrs. Su disagreed, "You and Yanyan simply lack communication. After you interact for a while, you can certainly develop feelings."

"Mom, I’ll say it again, the person I like is Qianqian. My heart can’t accommodate another woman, could you please grant me this?"

"You..."

Mrs. Su’s face turned ugly and she was at a loss for words looking at Su Yu’an.

Gu Yan’s expression changed repeatedly, feeling her self-respect was being trampled upon without mercy.

"Yu’an, Lin Qian already has a boyfriend, and you are long past history to her. Even if you want to reconcile, she has to be willing."

At those words, Su Yu’an looked toward Gu Yan and quietly said, "He’s just a boyfriend, not a husband. I will make Qianqian come back to me."

Was he clearly intending to pursue Lin Qian again?

Gu Yan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, as hatred for Lin Qian surged in her heart.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su rebuked, "Yu’an, I think you are obsessed. Anyway, I do not consent to you breaking off the engagement."

"Mom."

Su Yu’an frowned, let out a sigh, "I’m tired, you all can go, I want some peace and quiet."

"I’ll let Yanyan stay here to look after you."

"That’s not necessary. Mom, could you please just let me be alone for a while?"

Su Yu’an’s cold refusal fostered a sense of resentment in Gu Yan’s heart.

She looked to Mrs. Su, managing to force a smile, "Auntie, then I’ll leave for now, and come back to see Yu’an tomorrow."

"Ah, Yanyan."

Mrs. Su called after Gu Yan and then looked at Su Yu’an, "Yu’an, why do this to yourself? Yanyan is a child of misfortune; why can’t you listen to your mother for once, forget about Lin Qian, and start anew?"

Forget Lin Qian?

Some feelings only grow stronger with time.

Can they be forgotten at will?

Su Yu’an closed his eyes, no longer speaking.

Outside, Gu Yan left the hospital and looked up at the dark night sky, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She took out her cell phone and quickly sent out a text.

"Is everything you’ve been preparing ready? I want Lin Qian out of Su City!"
