“However, Chen Chen, as a person about to die and as your former mother-in-law, can I make one last selfish request of you before I die…” Bai Ran’s mother sighed and said.
“Mom, I’ll be angry if you keep saying those!” Bai Ran couldn’t help but interrupt her as she stood by the side. Her eyes were slightly red.
“Bai Ran, don’t speak.” Bai Ran’s mother’s expression suddenly became very serious. “Chen Chen, come over.”
Chen Chen leaned forward and Bai Ran’s mother said seriously, “Ran Ran will be alone from now on. I’m really worried. No matter what, she was once your wife and the sister you watched grow up. I hope that while you live a good life, you can help her when she encounters some major difficulties…”
“Mom, don’t say anything else. This is not a request. I’ll do it even if you don’t tell me!” Chen Chen put his arm around Bai Ran’s shoulder. He looked at his sickly mother-in-law, who was barely able to speak. She was still worried about Bai Ran and handing over her funeral matters. He suddenly felt like a jerk.
Her body suddenly leaned against a firm arm. Bai Ran’s eyes widened suddenly. She looked at the hand on her shoulder and then at Chen Chen, shocked by this intimate gesture.
However, Bai Ran recovered quickly. She leaned down and let go of Chen Chen’s arm without a trace. She leaned against her mother’s bed and said seriously, “Mom, don’t think about this now. You just have to receive the doctor’s treatment every day. Everything will be fine. I’ll always be by your side.”
With his hands suddenly empty, Chen Chen felt a little awkward and could only silently put down his hands.
After comforting her mother to sleep, Bai Ran pulled Chen Chen out of the ward and reminded him not to come over again.
“Your mother is so assured of me. She has already entrusted you to me, but you don’t even let me see her?” Chen Chen could not help but feel a little angry. How could she be so distant?!
“Because it’s meaningless. We’re no longer related. You don’t have to care about what my mother says,” Bai Ran replied calmly.
“Is there a need to be like this? When did I offend you?” Chen Chen frowned.
“Offend? Not really. It’s just that we’re already divorced.” Bai Ran tried hard to squeeze out a shallow smile. But who knew how much pain she felt when she said those words?
“Who said we’re already divorced? Legally, you’re still my wife.” A hint of smugness flashed across Chen Chen’s eyes. Even he did not notice it.
Bai Ran did not look at him and did not notice either. She quickly replied, “So let’s go now.”
“Where are we going?” Chen Chen was puzzled.
“To handle the procedures. That way, I won’t be your wife anymore!” Bai Ran said and wanted to walk downstairs.
Chen Chen pulled her back. “Are you that impatient?”
“Or have you been looking forward to this day for the past two years?” Chen Chen asked again.
He was the one who asked her to sign the divorce agreement, okay? In the end, it was her fault.
Bai Ran was a little helpless as she lampooned silently in her heart.
“Then take it that’s what I think. Let’s go now.” Bai Ran adjusted her expression and tried to face Chen Chen as calmly as possible.
“I didn’t bring the divorce agreement,” Chen Chen said.
“It’s fine. I’ll print it on the spot. We don’t need anything except for the certificate,” Bai Ran replied decisively.
“I still have work to do later. I don’t have time to accompany you!” Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran’s anxious look and clenched his fists slightly. For some reason, he felt angry.
Afraid that Bai Ran would continue to pester him on this matter, he hurriedly said, “What are your plans in the future? Are you planning to work here?”
“Yes, I’ve already found one,” Bai Ran replied.
Was she overthinking? Was he deliberately avoiding the divorce?
Bai Ran bit her lips and quickly got rid of these unrealistic fantasies.
“You’re really proactive in finding a way out for yourself!” Chen Chen mocked.
“I…” Bai Ran was really helpless. If she didn’t plan for herself, was she going to wait for Chen Chen to kick her out?
“If you still have work to do and can’t go through the formalities, I’ll make a move first.” Bai Ran did not wait for him to reply as she strode forward.
She did not want to continue pestering him. She had to be decisive now. She could not have any more fantasies.
She was walking so fast that she did not notice that a nurse was pushing a cart filled with medical equipment in front of her.
“Be careful!”
Chen Chen saw from behind that Bai Ran was about to hit the cart. He rushed over and pulled Bai Ran away.
However, it was still a little too late.. Although he had pulled Bai Ran away, his arm bumped into the glass equipment and crushed a few bottles.
