Chapter 381 - 241: Dark Woe_2
Ran Yunsheng felt the strength in Ran Yan’s hand as he held onto him and listened to her soothing words, gradually feeling a little strength returning to his own body.
"I understand," his voice hoarse, he closed his eyes and refused to let the tears fall anymore, "I only realize now that her coming to me from thousands of miles away wasn’t to elope with me, but just... just to..."
Ran Yunsheng’s voice caught in his throat and he could not continue. Qi Ningjun has come to find him with a plan already in mind, merely wanting to spend a few days with him, and if he was willing, perhaps they could play the role of husband and wife temporarily.
But Ran Yunsheng was unaware of her intense resolve, and with his nature, he couldn’t bring himself to do that sort of thing. Her husband’s family was also prominent, and if it was discovered that she wasn’t a virgin, she would likely be disdained by her husband.
Suddenly, Ran Yunsheng turned over and buried his face in the blanket, his sobbing muffled under the covers. It was regret, resentment, and pain...
Ran Yan’s eyes, too, were moist, but her heart loosened a bit, glad that he could cry. Crying is the best release for heartache, it is the inability to cry that is truly frightening.
The few people waiting outside heard the faint sounds of sobbing, the repressed dark anguish struck them with grief, and they all found themselves momentarily at a loss.
Luo’s also looked at the curtains swaying in the wind with surprise. Ran Yunsheng had always been especially well-behaved and considerate, never causing worry and generally cheerful. She had never heard him cry so bitterly.
Ran Yan looked at his repressed state and sighed deeply, it must be because of regrets that he felt so sad.
