Chapter 388: Chapter 369: Leng Yan said: Nuannuan, let’s break up_2
"Let go!" Leng Yan’s cold eyes suddenly narrowed, and he pried Ji Wei’s fingers off him one by one, a cold sneer spread across his face: "Ji Wei, the play should be over!"
The phone rang, and he shook off her arms trying to embrace him again. Leng Yan looked at the number, and the light in his eyes became inscrutable.
With a bang, he slammed the door shut and stood in the elevator, the air so thin that he found it hard to breathe, and there was fear in his constricted pupils.
Exiting the elevator, he took a deep breath. The phone had already rung three times. He closed his eyes tightly, only opening them after pressing the answer button, and his breath hitched when he saw a familiar license plate not far away.
Looking to the side, a young girl with a ponytail was gazing skyward; from her line of sight, it happened to be Ji Wei’s home.
The light from the main entrance cast on her, under the soft halo, she looked like a beautiful angel awaiting happiness.
Leng Yan’s eyes heated up, his steps involuntarily lengthened, his elegant lips slowly raised, his arms ready to embrace her at any moment.
One step, just one step!
His steps immediately paused, and the phone rang hurriedly in the dark night.
The heavy voice on the other end of the call forcibly halted his steps.
"Dr. Wang, I’m listening."
He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the young girl, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually stiffened, his blood congealed.

The stars in the sky grew weary and went home to sleep, the moon couldn’t withstand the dark clouds swept in by the wind, its light hiding away, sneaking into the shadows. A cold wind rose, and a light drizzle fell on her in the silent night. It was chilly, but not as much as the sigh in her heart.
Frowning, she looked at her phone screen, biting her lower lip, and dialed that familiar number again. Gentle music reached her ears, Wen Nuan’s fingers slightly trembling, her long and thick eyelashes quivered gently, as she held her breath.
The call connected...
Hiding in the shadows, he watched the fine raindrops gently drift down, looked at her face, and felt a piercing pain in his heart.
"Nuannuan."
He spoke, his throat choked, yet his voice was unusually calm. Something warm slid across his face, the person and the night before him gradually blurred.
"Yan." Wen Nuan’s smile bloomed, like a pure and beautiful lily, she inhaled, laughing sweetly: "Do you know where I am?"
If she told him, he would surely be overjoyed.
She continued to smile, more and more brilliantly: "Yan, I’m back. I’m now..."
She hesitated for a moment, a bit afraid that he would be unhappy because she stood here, but she still went on: "Are you alone in a room? I’m outside Ji Wei’s house. I made lots of delicious food and brought it to the company, but you weren’t there. I thought you might have left work already, so I came back and happened to pass by here."
Leng Yan said nothing, his thumb gently wiped the corner of his eye. Her pretty smile once again imprinted in his eyes, dazzlingly painful in the darkness.
Wen Nuan continued speaking, her twinkling eyes filled with hope: "The results are out, aren’t they?"
"Yes."
The results were out, not just one...
He nodded, his voice came out from a throat stuffed with cotton, still steady, but slowly sinking: "Nuannuan, I’m sorry."
"Yan..."
Wen Nuan momentarily dazed, her tender fingers loosened powerlessly, nearly slipping, she forcibly tightened her grip again: "What did you say?"
"I’m sorry."
Leng Yan repeated, the veins on his hands showing, some part of his body seemed to hurt again. He wanted her to rub it, yet he also wanted to desperately distance himself.
Wen Nuan leaned against the car door, not moving for a long while. Her throat was blocked, as if choking.
Looking up at the direction upstairs, Wen Nuan’s voice carried a lightweight determination: "At this point, there’s no need to say sorry, Yan. You said you wouldn’t want this child, I believe you."
He had said not just once, he said it with utmost certainty.
He said, whether the child was his or not, he wouldn’t want it. If the results were not what they hoped for, he would give Ji Wei some compensation, but he would definitely not want Ji Wei’s child.
Therefore, in fact, she was mentally prepared. At the moment she decided to forgive him, she had already stood by him, choosing to live well with him and turn this page.
Leng Yan’s breathing ached, in the dim light, his face had lost much of its color. After a while, he called her name softly: "Nuannuan..."
Softly, like the breeze. Gently, like water’s softness.
What he said, however, pierced like a sharp knife, he said: "Nuannuan, I can’t bring myself to be cruel. I saw that little life on the screen, and I decided... to keep it. And, I don’t want the child to be away from its biological mother."
Wen Nuan’s neck was tightly held by the darkness, she felt she was about to lose her breath, her mind buzzing.
His voice continued to drift out from the phone, colder than the winter night’s wind: "Nuannuan, let’s break up!"
Time passed, second by second, the surroundings were very quiet, yet seemed very noisy.
Wen Nuan leaned against the car door, not moving for a long time. She was the only one around, yet it seemed there were thousands of voices in her ears preventing her from hearing what Leng Yan was saying.
However, it also seemed she clearly knew what he was saying.
After a long while, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, a low growl broke through her throat, pierced the night’s silence: "Leng Yan, get out here!"
She wanted to question him why he would do this, he couldn’t bear to part with Ji Wei’s child, but was he willing to part with her?
He also said the child should be with its biological mother, does that mean not only does he want the child, but also Ji Wei?

Earlier in the text a "Dr. Ma" was mentioned, but the previous Chapter mentioned "Dr. Wang". Note: Guoguo did not make a mistake, there is a reason for this.
