Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Ends of the Earth, Home for Each

“`

It’s a pity…

Perhaps after being washed away by time, the regrets of the past had also faded away.

Yu Weiwei took the medicine from Nie Chenglang’s hand and tucked the contract away as well.

“Those who care about you will tolerate all your thoughts, even if they’re naive or impulsive, they will accompany you through them instead of blaming and abandoning you,” Nie Chenglang said lightly.

Even if naive and impulsive, he would accompany her through it all.

Just like Chaomu when he first saw her at the orphanage; she was just a naive little girl. After slowly getting to know her, he realized her world was as pure as snow.

He initially thought that after boarding the plane to Paris that year, he would never see her again in his life.

But fate is so strange.

He not only met her again but also lived with her for five years…

Five years, enough to hold too many, too many beautiful memories.

He accompanied her, thinking it could last a lifetime, only to realize that what is ordained cannot always be influenced by one’s own desires.

He thought she had long forgotten Shen Chi since she seldom mentioned him during those five years.

However… recalling the past, Nie Chenglang’s heart was filled with helplessness.

Yu Weiwei reflected on Nie Chenglang’s words, perhaps, it was never enough concern…

“Chenglang, let’s go,” Yu Weiwei said as she tried to stand up.

“Wait a second, Chaomu, she said she would come over.”

“Huh? Is she coming over by herself?” Yu Weiwei was a bit surprised.

“I don’t know.” A fleeting look of loss crossed Nie Chenglang’s face.

The time he spent with Chaomu was merely five years, which ultimately couldn’t compete with her eight years with Shen Chi.

“Chenglang, you… won’t be together with Chaomu anymore?” Yu Weiwei asked.

In Yu Weiwei’s eyes, Nie Chenglang was a very good man. Handsome and scholarly, distinguished, courteous, and always ready to help others.

Such a man, maybe many people are pursuing him…

Hearing Yu Weiwei’s words, Nie Chenglang remained silent.

Seeing Nie Chenglang not speaking, Yu Weiwei also did not pursue the matter, and changed the subject.

“Chenglang, what do you like to eat? I know there’s a good Italian restaurant nearby, let’s take Chaomu with us and go eat there after a while.”

“Okay.”

Yu Weiwei and Nie Chenglang were chatting and waiting slowly for Chaomu to arrive.

She was completely unaware that not far away, a pair of eager eyes was watching her.

Li Beiting saw Yu Weiwei and Nie Chenglang chatting and laughing together, and even, Nie Chenglang had gone to pour a cup of hot water for Yu Weiwei.

They sat side by side, very well-matched.

For some reason, Yu Weiwei was always stubborn and proud in front of him, no matter what the view, she insisted on arguing with him. Sometimes they would argue until both were flushed, as long as she thought she was right, she wouldn’t back down.

But now, perhaps this man was too charming, or maybe this man was her true love.

In front of this man, her face was all gentleness and softness.

Such a Yu Weiwei was so beautiful that he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

A hint of jealousy started growing in his heart…

He and she would never be together in this lifetime, just like now, although she was within his reach, she was as distant as the ends of the earth.

Yu Weiwei and Nie Chenglang were laughing and talking, and several times when he saw Yu Weiwei rubbing her ankle bone, Nie Chenglang asked her worriedly a few times and even bent down to gently massage it for her.

Li Beiting didn’t want to watch anymore. If she could be happy, that would be good too.

However, when leaving, he found it hard to be ruthless.

After one last look, he finally turned his head resolutely and entered the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, leaving everything outside…

“Does your foot still hurt?” Nie Chenglang asked.

“Much better, it’s fine,” Yu Weiwei smiled.

“If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me, we’re still at the hospital, I can take you there.”

“I’m quite fine.”

As they were talking, Chaomu arrived just in time, having followed the location sent by Nie Chenglang.

She seemed to have walked a bit quickly, arriving a little out of breath.

“Weiwei, Chenglang!” She hurried over to them.

“Chaomu! Slow down, slow down…” Yu Weiwei stood up and grabbed her hand.

Nie Chenglang didn’t see Shen Chi, knowing he probably hadn’t come.

“Weiwei, how’s your injury? Does it still hurt?”

Chaomu saw that Yu Weiwei’s upper arm was covered in gauze, and concern showed in her expression.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, this injury is nothing. Have you had lunch, Chaomu?”

“Not yet.”

“Then that’s perfect, let’s go together,” Nie Chenglang invited her.

“Great, let’s go,” Chaomu was happy.

Yu Weiwei and Nie Chenglang both stood up, Yu Weiwei and Chaomu walked together, Nie Chenglang followed behind.

“Weiwei, did you call Li Beiting?” Chaomu whispered.

“I haven’t contacted him for three years,” Yu Weiwei lied lightly.

“Really?” Chaomu looked incredulous, “But, I think I just saw Li Beiting in the hospital.”

“Hm? You must’ve seen wrong, he’s in good health, he wouldn’t come to the hospital.”

“Perhaps my eyes deceived me…”

Since Yu Weiwei said she hadn’t called Li Beiting, then he probably wouldn’t come over.

However, the person she just saw downstairs looked a lot like Li Beiting.

With so many people, maybe it was just her imagination.

“I was just telling Chenglang that there’s a nice Italian restaurant nearby, let’s go together,” Yu Weiwei said.

“Sounds good,” Chaomu replied, “Weiwei, you haven’t told me what exactly happened at your research institute?”

Yu Weiwei sighed and recounted the situation simply to Chaomu.

It was just about the contract being tampered with, the debt of five million becoming sixty-five million. She couldn’t afford to pay it, so those loan sharks came to her institute out of the blue and smashed the place up.

“What are you going to do about your research institute? It was pretty badly damaged,” Chaomu inquired.

“I don’t know, I’m trying to figure out a solution. It might take some time to reopen,” Yu Weiwei replied.

Worry creased Yu Weiwei’s face; what she lacked most now was actually… money.

She was reluctant to tell Chaomu, knowing that if she did, Chaomu would definitely go and plead with Shen Chi.

In her eyes, the astronomical sum was merely a drop in the ocean for Shen Chi.

She didn’t want to trouble Chaomu. If she could solve the problem herself, she would do her utmost.

As for Li Beiting, if she could bring herself to ask, the money wouldn’t be a problem either.

But to go and borrow money from Li Beiting was absolutely out of the question. There was no chance of reconciliation for her and Li Beiting; they had reached a dead end.

This way, it was rather good.

From now on, they would be worlds apart, each to their own homes.

“If there’s anything I can help you with, just tell me,” Chaomu told Yu Weiwei.
