“Qianshu, let me ask you a question. If Li Zhiyuan loves you deeply and knows that you will be in danger, will you be touched if he sacrifices himself to die in your place? Will you feel guilty?”

“I would definitely feel guilty and touched. My heart isn’t made out of stone. There’s a dead person out there.” Shen Qianshu did not overthink. It was human nature.

Yun An’s gaze darkened. “I know. You will remember him for eternity.”

“Wait a moment… What exactly happened? Why would you ask me this without any reason? I’m a bit worried.” Did she say something wrong? Wasn’t this a normal emotion? If someone loved you deeply and died for you, would you even be worthy of being loved if you remain unaffected?

Furthermore, Li Zhiyuan was her subordinate and her friend.

“Nothing. Just chatting,” said Yun An. “I talked to Li Chen about this today and had some conflicts with him.”

Shen Qianshu suddenly understood. She remembered that Li Chen loved Big Brother and that Big Brother loved Yun An. They had a complicated relationship. However, she did not know how to console Yun An. When her brother died, he no longer knew anything that was going on.

The saddest people were the ones left behind.

He was the most painful.

“Don’t think too much. Just follow the flow. I think that Li Chen… really loves you.”

“…” Yun An was speechless.

He nodded his head vaguely.

Shen Qianshu said in a soft voice, “You have a great life ahead of you. You aren’t even thirty this year. With someone loving you at such a young age and with the person you love being by your side too, anything that happened in the past is no longer important. As long as you are alive. Look at me, I cling onto Ye Ling and demonstrate our love every day. You must think that we are really cheesy and happy, right? But to tell you the truth… Ye Ling’s body has been emptied inside out. His foundation is ruined. Even if Lady White and I think of all the ways to treat him, I cannot guarantee that he will definitely be cured.

“Furthermore, Ye Ling… has a lot on his mind. His mental state is under a lot of stress. Otherwise, he would not pretend to have a multiple-personality disorder. He does not have a long life expectancy. Hence, I will live every moment like it’s the last day. I want to give him the happiest moments while he’s still alive. If there’s one day when he will leave me, I want him to have zero regrets.”

Yun An widened his eyes. “Qianshu… You…”

“I’m fine. I have thought through it a long, long time ago. I’ve already come to my conclusion even before I discovered that he did not have split personalities,” said Shen Qianshu gently but firmly. “I’m already lucky enough. I found a sincere and passionate love. This is something not many have. I’m also lucky enough to have an obedient and healthy son. I’m lucky enough to have a healthy body, so I can control my future. Hence, even if one day, something becomes imperfect, I’ll still accept it.

“Not everyone’s life is perfect. There’s bound to be some regrets. The most important thing is today’s happiness. The past is no longer important. I don’t even want to think about the past nor the future. I just want today.”

She did not dare to think nor contemplate about things.

Yun An suddenly became cheerful. Sometimes, when you had already reached a conclusion yourself, it would suddenly become clear when someone else pointed it out.

Shen Qianshu said with a smile, “Fate will give us the best arrangements!”

Yun An was touched and held onto her hand. “Ye Ling will be fine.”

“I don’t care about what happens tomorrow. I’ll stop chatting with you and leave now. I still have a surprise for him!”
