"Right or wrong. I am indeed pregnant with Si Bing's child, and Si Bing feels guilty about your disfigurement. As for your brother, he gambled himself, and I just went with the flow."
Zhao Wuyan smiled, "Since things have come to this, you should also leave Lancheng."
Her words were like a reminder, but more like a warning.
Shi Ran could only agree.
After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed with vacant eyes, like a lifeless puppet.
Yuan Wei had already changed into his casual clothes. He walked to her side, raised his hand, and patted her shoulder. "It's all in the past. Don't worry too much. Besides, this might not be entirely a bad thing for you."
He sighed and sat beside her. "Whether in the past or present, being well-matched is very important. We are people living at the very bottom of society. As long as we can live a stable life, that's the best. The wealthy and noble look down on us, and we cannot integrate into their circles. We should not force ourselves to integrate."
Yuan Wei's words were like a stab to the heart, causing Shi Ran to burst into tears.
He patted his shoulder. "Here, you can lean on my shoulder."
"Yuan Wei, I'm sorry," Shi Ran choked out.
Yuan Wei shook his head. "I should thank you. Thank you for helping me. If it weren't for you, I would still be living a life worse than that of pigs and dogs."
Fellow sufferers of the same fate.
Yuan Wei and Shi Ran both felt the threat from 'capital,' making them realize the harshness of the human world.
That night, Yuan Wei, Shi Ran, and Yuan Wei's mother all left Lancheng.
As for where they went, it was unknown and untraceable.
...
Imperial View Villa, bedroom.
The room was pitch black, but heavy breathing could be faintly heard. Meng Jingwei looked at the man beneath her, moaning, "A Ye, I... mmm..."
"You promised to be on top just now, you can't go back on your word now."
The man smiled wickedly and reached out to pat her buttocks.
It had been a month and a half since Meng Jingwei received the script. She was about to join the crew, and the couple would be separated.
Qing Muye was very reluctant, so he kept her in a 'crazy' state until now.
Meng Jingwei couldn't withstand his stamina and kept begging for mercy. Qing Muye said wickedly, "If you're on top, I'll spare you."
In order to rest early and not be late for the crew tomorrow, Meng Jingwei had no choice but to agree.
She just didn't expect the man's self-control to be so good. It had been an hour, and he still hadn't finished.
"You..."
Meng Jingwei was on the verge of tears, feeling extremely frustrated.
Ring ring ring—
Just then, Qing Muye's phone on the table rang.
Meng Jingwei's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "A Ye, your phone is ringing."
The man said, "Don't answer it. You continue."
Meng Jingwei: "..." Bastard.
As a result, this phone call persisted, ringing five or six times continuously. Finally, it disturbed Qing Muye's mood.
With a dark expression, he embraced the woman sleeping beside him, picked up his phone, and looked at the number of Lu Yanming flashing on the screen. He said in a deep voice, "You'd better have something extremely urgent!"
Lu Yanming's mouth twitched, feeling awkward about disturbing their 'passion.' "Xiao Si is missing."
"Isn't he in the hospital?"
Qing Muye asked.
"Xiao Si went missing this morning. When the nurse received a call from Tang Si saying he was discharged, she didn't ask further. When I came, he was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn't get through to his phone, so I knew he was gone. But I've already sent people to look for him."
"Alright, I'll come find you."
Qing Muye hung up the phone, looked at the little woman beside him, and pinched her cheek. "You get some rest early. I have something to attend to."
