“Weren’t you in Yuecheng?”
Sang Qianqian remembered that after Zhang Xue returned to Yuecheng, she resigned from Sang Group and there was no news of her ever again. “Why did Sister Xiaoshuang ask you to come over?”
Zhang Xue’s face turned red and white. She lowered her head and whispered, I resigned not long ago. Afterward, I came to Ming City.”
After leaving the company in Yuecheng, Zhang Xue found a new job.
Although she had repeatedly warned herself not to think about Sang Minglang, her rationality couldn’t control her emotions.
Not only could she not forget Sang Minglang, but the time she spent with him in the past was imprinted in her mind like a movie, flashing through her mind over and over again.
She was living in pain, but the more painful it was, the more she missed him.
She really, really wanted to know about his situation, so she mustered up her courage and gave Ruan Xiaoshuang a call.
At that time, Ruan Xiaoshuang told her that Sang Minglang had returned to
Ming City and was hospitalized.
After that, Zhang Xue never contacted Ruan Xiaoshuang again.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she had actually gone crazy and wanted to see Sang Minglang once.
Thus, Zhang Xue quit her job and secretly came to Ming City, wanting to see
him.
She told herself that as long as she could see him, even if from afar, she would immediately return to Yuecheng and never come back again.
However, outsiders couldn’t easily enter Sang Minglang’s ward, and she was no exception.
She couldn’t enter, but she didn’t want to leave.
She could occasionally hear the nurses talking about Sang Minglang. After all, it was rare to see such a handsome patient like him, so he was definitely the center of attention wherever he went.
Zhang Xue paced around Sang Minglang’s ward countless times, as if she could get closer to him by doing so.
One day, it suddenly started to rain. She did not bring an umbrella and hid under a tree, shivering from the cold.
Through the thin rain, she saw Ruan Xiaoshuang.
Ruan Xiaoshuang held an umbrella and walked toward her.
She was afraid of being discovered, so she ran away in panic like a rabbit that had seen a hunter.
Worried that she would meet Ruan Xiaoshuang again, Zhang Xue waited for a few days before going to the hospital again. She even specially chose to go at night.
She tried to ask the nurse again if she could go in to visit Sang Minglang.
Naturally, she was rejected.
However, when Ruan Xiaoshuang passed by the nurse’s station, she happened to hear Zhang Xue begging the nurse to let her in. She said that she would leave immediately if she could see Sang Minglang through the glass door.
Ruan Xiaoshuang asked the nurse to let Zhang Xue in and brought her to Sang Minglang’s ward.
Zhang Xue quietly looked at him for a long time.
Her eyes were red, and tears fell down her face. She choked up silently.
When she left, she thanked Ruan Xiaoshuang with red eyes.
She said that this was the last time she would come to see him, and she would not come again in the future.
Looking at her staggering back as she lowered her head, Ruan Xiaoshuang
stopped her for some reason.
Afterward, they sat in Sang Minglang’s ward for half an hour.
Ruan Xiaoshuang asked Zhang Xue many questions, including why she liked
Sang Minglang so much.
Zhang Xue also told Ruan Xiaoshuang a lot of things that she had never told anyone about. She talked about how he stood up for her in the bar, saved her, and took care of her in the company.
It was not that she didn’t know he saved her because her eyes looked like Ruan Xiaoshuang’s.
Moreover, she also knew that he was humble and courteous to every female colleague in the company, but Zhang Xue still liked him uncontrollably.
He was too outstanding, so she tried her best to make herself better.
Therefore, on the first day she met him, she quit her job at the bar and made up her mind to apply for Sang Group.
Later on, she became Sang Minglang’s assistant as she wished.
At first, she just wanted to see him every day. She knew that his heart belonged to someone else, and she also knew that there was a world of difference between them. She never had any improper thoughts.
However, he had helped her father to resolve the crisis.
To him, it was nothing, but to Zhang Xue, it was a favor that she could never forget.
When Sang Minglang called her to the capital and asked her if she was willing to be his girlfriend, she had unrealistic hopes.
However, when she saw Ruan Xiaoshuang, she sadly realized that she was just a fake. She couldn’t even be considered a substitute.
However, she still agreed to his request, even if their relationship wasn’t official.
The days when she “lived” with him were the happiest days of her life. At that time, she would make breakfast for him when she woke up early. The two of them were like a real couple. After eating breakfast face to face, he would drive her to the company and they would go home together after work at night.
If Sang Minglang went out for something, he would definitely inform her, “I have something to do tonight. You can take a taxi home.”
If he came back early, he would sometimes bring her favorite desserts or take her out for dinner.
Sometimes, he would come home very late. At that time, she would sit on the sofa and pretend to be busy with work, but in fact, she was waiting for him to come home.
Sometimes, when it was too late, she would fall asleep on the sofa. When she woke up, she would see a blanket covering her.
After Ruan Xiaoshuang decided to marry Song Yu, he got drunk one night. When she helped him back to his room, he mistook her for Ruan Xiaoshuang. He held her in his arms and kissed her…
By that time, Zhang Xue seemed to have gone mad. The more infatuated he was with Ruan Xiaoshuang, the more she loved him.
“Perhaps I will never meet someone like him again in this life.
Zhang Xue begged Ruan Xiaoshuang to forgive her. She lowered her head and said softly, “I’m leaving. I won’t see him again in the future, and I won’t disturb you guys anymore.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang looked at her silently and vaguely saw her younger self who was trapped by love many years ago.
She pulled Zhang Xue, who was about to leave, and muttered, “I’m the one who should leave.”
Zhang Xue did not understand and looked at her in confusion.
Ruan Xiaoshuang asked her if she was willing to help take care of Sang Minglang every day. “Would you share some of my burdens?” Zhang Xue was surprised and happy, but then she was nervous. “Could I really? Wouldn’t that be… Bad?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled. “With you taking care of him, I can relax a little.” Zhang Xue didn’t refuse, but she promised Ruan Xiaoshuang that once Sang Minglang showed signs of waking up, she would leave immediately and never appear in front of them again.
Ruan Xiaoshuang only shook her head gently and did not say anything.
After that, Zhang Xue would come over every day, but when Sang Pengcheng came to visit, she would quietly avoid him.
A few days ago, the doctor gave Sang Minglang a full body checkup and told them that he was recovering well and would wake up soon.
This morning, Ruan Xiaoshuang and Zhang Xue saw that his finger moved. Zhang Xue was overjoyed. When she turned around, she saw that Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were red.
She thought that she was just happy and did not ask much.
After Ruan Xiaoshuang finished cleaning Sang Minglang and feeding him medicine, she suddenly said that she had something to do and needed to go out. She told Zhang Xue not to leave, so Zhang Xue naturally complied.
When Ruan Xiaoshuang left, she repeatedly reminded Zhang Xue to take good care of Sang Minglang, so she didn’t dare to leave.

Sang Qianqian suddenly had a bad feeling. She immediately dialed Ruan Xiaoshuang’s number. Unexpectedly, she picked up..
