Was he hating her?
But he knew that Zhao Wuyan had slept with his elder brother, and in the end, he was willing to marry Zhao Wuyan. Was that not true love for her?
Since he had fulfilled their wishes, what reason did he have to be angry?
Shi Ran felt some resentment towards Tang Si, resenting why he had tricked her into the Hidden Clan back then, and only after giving her hope did he agree to be with Tang Si.
In the end, it naturally angered Zhao Wuyan, leading to her current predicament.
She wore a mask, and beneath the mask, her lips parted slightly. She took a breath, adjusted her emotions, and feigned strength as she spoke to the receptionist, "Sorry to have bothered you."
Even in her destitution, Shi Ran did not want to seek out Tang Si.
She just didn't expect that coming to Qing Muye for help would also lead to Tang Si's deliberate obstruction.
If she didn't leave, was she supposed to wait for security to escort her out?
Seeing her leave, the receptionist bowed to several people and returned to the front desk.
Tang Si stood still, gazing at the woman whose figure was gradually becoming fuller, his eyes growing colder.
It seemed she was living quite well with Yuan Wei, having gained so much weight in just a short time apart.
Shi Ran secretly rejoiced, grateful that she was wearing a knee-length down coat that day and had deliberately adjusted her walking posture, so that Tang Si wouldn't notice her pregnancy from her gait.
Otherwise, as a doctor, he would surely see through it at a glance.
She walked out of the company, and Han Yu and Lu Yanming walked up and stood beside Tang Si.
Lu Yanming: "Sigh, why bother? Why do I feel like this little girl has some unspeakable secret?"
Han Yu: "Didn't you notice she's become much thinner?"
Tang Si: "Really? I think she's become much more plump. She's living a good life."
Lu Yanming frowned deeply, "Little Si, running away is not a way to solve problems."
Han Yu: "Shi Ran is a good girl. You two should talk properly..."
"Are you my brothers, or her brothers?" Tang Si interrupted Han Yu directly, "If you really can't stand it, you two can go be brothers with her. I won't stop you."
With that, he strode away.
Seeing him leave in a huff, Lu Yanming and Han Yu exchanged glances, shrugged, and shook their heads in unison.
Lu Yanming raised his chin and said to Han Yu, "You and Xiao Si go first. I think Shi Ran might have encountered some trouble. I'll go take a look."
"Alright." Han Yu was thinking the same thing.
The two split up.
Han Yu jogged to catch up with Tang Si. They got into the car and drove away directly.
Tang Si sat in the driver's seat. As he drove away, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Shi Ran, who was walking alone, through the rearview mirror. Seeing her slow steps, head down, and aimlessly walking forward, she gave off a sense of desolation and loneliness.
At that moment, his rock-solid heart wavered slightly.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're going to crash, crash!"
Han Yu knew Tang Si was watching Shi Ran through the rearview mirror, but seeing that they were about to rear-end the car in front, he couldn't help but remind him.
Tang Si snapped back to attention and immediately slammed on the brakes, nearly causing Han Yu, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, to hit the windshield.
"Holy cow!"
Han Yu leaned forward, instinctively bracing himself with his hands on the center console to stabilize himself, "Can you even drive?"
"Not wearing a seatbelt. Serves you right," Tang Si teased, showing no guilt whatsoever.
However, as he spoke, his gaze involuntarily swept towards the rearview mirror. Unfortunately, he could no longer see that figure in the mirror.
At the company entrance, Shi Ran saw Tang Si's car leave and then lingered in the vicinity.
When she turned her head, she saw Lu Yanming standing behind her.
She was startled for no reason. After composing herself, she gave a polite smile, "Mr. Lu, why... haven't you left yet?"
