Chapter 378
Tang Yuchen didn’t leave; he just sat by her side all the time.
Lan Keren, puzzled, asked him, “Why are you staying? Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just hire a caregiver to look after me.”
When he thought about how she had no family and only knew him and Liang Xiao, Tang Yuchen felt a bit upset.
“I will stay to take care of you until you get better.”
Lan Keren’s eyes widened in shock, but his next words shattered her hopes.
“Don’t misunderstand, I have no other intentions. Taking care of you is just out of past affection.”
He spoke indifferently and didn’t give her any hope, and this time, her heart truly died.
Lan Keren turned her gaze away and spoke coldly, “I don’t need your charity and pity. Just go, I don’t want to see you!”
Tang Yuchen didn’t say another word and stayed put. Regardless of what she said, he wouldn’t leave, so she just let him be.
He didn’t hire a caregiver for her; he took care of everything himself.
Cooking for her, administering her medication, staying up at night to look after her, he took very good care of her.
Lan Keren craved his warmth, so she said nothing and selfishly enjoyed his kindness.
In the past, she had also been hospitalized from injuries, and each time, it was he who took care of her, just as now, meticulously caring for her. It felt as though they had returned to the past when he still seemed very much in love with her.
Grabbing his sleeve, Lan Keren asked sorrowfully, “Ah Chen, can we truly never go back to how things were?”
“…” Tang Yuchen’s lips were tightly sealed; he didn’t answer.
Her heart instantly turned cold.
She slowly let go of his sleeve and raised her hand to wipe away tears, “Ah Chen, I’m sorry, I lost you… But if I had to choose again, I would still make the same decision as I did initially.”
She still wouldn’t go with him, still would risk her life to complete the mission.
In her heart, the mission was truly the most important thing!
Tang Yuchen clenched his fists tightly and walked away briskly.
Lan Keren’s tears flowed more heavily, and her chest hurt terribly; she pressed firmly against her heart, feeling as if she might die of pain at any moment.

An Ruo and Xia Nuo visited many places and ate a lot of delicious foods.
She didn’t know whether it was because the food was bad, but she felt so sick she vomited that night. Xia Nuo wanted to take her to the hospital, but she said it was nothing, probably just not used to the water and soil.
But for the next two days, she was listless and had no energy.
They had been out for over a week. Xia Nuo, worried she couldn’t take it anymore, decided to go back home. They could always travel again later.

After a few days in the hospital, Lan Keren recovered and was discharged.
She realized that since he no longer accepted her, staying would only bring her sadness.
So, it was better to leave.
Packing her belongings, she said goodbye only to Liang Xiao and didn’t inform Tang Yuchen, then took a car to the airport.
Tang Yuchen was at work when he suddenly received a call from Liang Xiao.
He answered, and before he could speak, the person on the other end said seriously, “Ke Ren is leaving. She has decided to leave today. Tang Yuchen, if you let her go now, you will never find her again.”
Tang Yuchen was shocked, his mind as if severely hit by a blunt object, very uncomfortable.
She was leaving, but where to?
Had she just appeared, only to disappear again?
Tang Yuchen abruptly stood up, not really thinking, just wanting to chase after her. But as he reached the doorway, he stopped mid-stride.
If he caught up with her, what then? Would they be together?
