Lu Yin paused in his steps and did not look back. He just said, "Let the past go by. People have to look forward, and so do you."

After saying that, he left the ward without looking back, leaving Lu Jingchi alone in the ward, struggling to digest the information.

Jiang Lan saw that he had been in a daze, the cigarette on his fingertips had burned out, and he didn't even notice when his fingers were burned.

She couldn't help but push Lu Jingchi.

Lu Jingchi came to his senses and turned to look at her.

Jiang Lan glanced at the cigarette on his fingertips and said, "It's burned out."

Lu Jingchi seemed to have just come to his senses. He glanced casually, as if he didn't see his red fingers, and put out the cigarette on the bedside table with an expressionless expression.

There was an ashtray in the bedroom before, but when he went to another room, Jiang Lan asked Mrs. Lin to take the ashtray away.

He didn't say anything and just threw it wherever he smoked it.

"It's really hard for you. I've been nice to Xia Yan for seven years. I'm going to bed. You can go out." Jiang Lan started to chase people away and no longer wanted to talk to him.

Lu Jingchi sat there without moving.

Jiang Lan suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and went to open the window. The wind from outside blew in, and the smell of cigarette smoke in the bedroom dissipated.

She took the trash can and paper towels and went to clean the cigarette ashes on the bedside table.

Lu Jingchi's eyes followed her figure. After cleaning up, she didn't want to talk to Lu Jingchi, so she threw down the trash can and planned to go out.

If he likes this bedroom, just give it to him.

As soon as Jiang Lan's hand touched the door handle, his waist suddenly tightened, and a man's breath came from behind.

"Don't go."

Jiang Lan turned her head to avoid his breath, and was silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Lu Jingchi, what do you want?"

"I have been thinking about this issue for many years." He hugged her from behind and rested his head on her shoulder. His tone was calm, but Jiang Lan still felt a hint of helplessness.

Lu Jingchi said to himself: "Maybe people are just cheap. They don't want what they get, but they desperately want to hold on to what they can't get."

"So, in this life, people are constantly getting, giving up, getting again, giving up again, and finally getting nothing."

Jiang Lan frowned, and her fingers tightened on the door handle.

Suddenly, she turned around, looked up at Lu Jingchi, and called him, "Lu Jingchi."

Lu Jingchi lowered his eyes and stared at her.

Jiang Lan smiled at him and said, "If you say I love you, I won't leave."

Lu Jingchi was slightly startled.

He stared at Jiang Lan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her with his deep gaze.

Jiang Lan also looked at him without showing any signs of weakness. The two looked at each other, and the air was filled with indescribable weirdness.

She clearly saw countless emotions flashing through Lu Jingchi's eyes, so fast that she couldn't catch them. For several seconds, Jiang Lan felt that he was about to speak, which made her heart skip a beat.

But in the end, no sound was heard from his mouth.

Jiang Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again, "Can't you tell me? Or is it because you don't love me?"

"Then why did you ask me not to leave? Director Lu, you can go find Xia Yan. She should be very willing to play such affectionate games with you."

After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door.

The next second, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Jiang Lan stumbled and hit the door. The door that had just been opened was closed again.

Lu Jingchi pressed her against the door and leaned close to her. The anger that he had suppressed under his skin these days burst out again, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

"Jiang Lan, do you really want to hear it, or do you want to stimulate me?"

"If you want to listen, I will tell you, but if you play tricks on me..." His tone was solemn, his voice was very low, only two people could hear, "I will make you pay a heavy price.
