Chapter 493: Conflicted
Bai Ran’s figure instantly appeared in Chen Chen’s mind. They should be celebrating together now!
“Ring…” The phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Bai Ran.
Was this the telepathy between a couple?!
Chen Chen’s heart could not help but beat faster. Ever since he was confused at Bai Ran’s house that night and woke up from his drunken stupor, he had recalled those erotic scenes.!!
Everything was real, not his dream… His touch was so real…
Every time he thought of it, he would feel a little guilty but also a little sweet.
With some nervousness, Chen Chen picked up the phone and restrained his voice. “Hello?”
Bai Ran’s voice came from the other end of the line. “I… I’m Bai Ran. I want to ask how Xiao Lin is. It’s been a few days. Grandma said she’s not discharged yet. What’s going on?”
Chen Chen’s eyes instantly drooped and he was a little disappointed. So she was asking Chen Lin, not looking for him.
“Oh, Lin Lin is fine. Her condition has stabilized. Huo Tian has been taking care of her, but she still needs to stay in the hospital for a period of observation. Don’t worry. She’ll be discharged soon!” Chen Chen replied calmly.
“Yes, yes. That’s good…” Bai Ran’s voice was a little hesitant.
The two of them stopped awkwardly. No one knew what to say.
When Chen Chen thought of what had happened that night, he felt extremely awkward.
He had indeed drunk too much that day. Although he could not remember the complete scene, he remembered the intimacy between him and Bai Ran. He also vaguely remembered that he had said many heartfelt things to Bai Ran.
Although he did not remember the specifics, he knew that it was nothing more than a passionate confession, or he did not want to divorce her, or he wanted to tell her about the misunderstanding and grievance between them.
After he was ruthlessly pushed away that night, he immediately woke up.
When he saw Bai Ran running to the balcony in her clothes and trying hard to calm down, his heart clenched.
He did not understand what Bai Ran’s actions represented.
Was it her instinct to be confused with him, or was it her intention to push him away?
However, he was certain that Bai Ran did not seem to resist him as much as before.
At the thought of this, Chen Chen felt like he had seen hope.
Ever since he received Hu Wan’s test report, the impregnable barrier between him and Bai Ran seemed to have loosened a little. He had finally successfully found evidence to clear his misunderstanding.
Although it was nothing compared to the many misunderstandings.
However, as long as one thing could prove the truth, it was equivalent to tearing a hole in the huge barrier of misunderstanding. It also meant that the trust between him and Bai Ran had begun to rebuild.
As long as he could see hope, he was willing to take the next 999 steps!
When he thought of this, Chen Chen felt very confident.
What he did not know was that after that night, although Bai Ran appeared to be invulnerable, her psychological defenses began to slowly loosen.
She realized that she had not forgotten Chen Chen from the beginning to the end. She had not agreed to Chen Chen’s request for love after he was drunk because the previous entanglements were too deep. Furthermore, she could not let Yu Xuan down.
She did not understand why at that critical moment, Yu Xuan’s face and her warning flashed across her mind. This made her feel an irresistible guilt when she faced Chen Chen.
She had suffered too much for Chen Chen. She had almost lost her life. Every time she trusted him, misfortune would follow.
She did not know if she should trust him again.
Therefore, she was conflicted and in pain. She could not choose.
However, after Chen Chen left, she had thought about it calmly for so long, but her mind was filled with Chen Chen’s figure.
Not only that, but she also desperately found excuses for Chen Chen. She believed in his relationship with Gu Qian, believed everything he said after he was drunk that night, and believed that the surveillance cameras on the road where Chen Chen had come to save her on the night of the kidnapping were indeed broken. She believed that Chen Chen had always cared about her, and she believed that all the pain she had suffered previously was because of a misunderstanding.
However, every time she was awake, she hated herself who kept absolving Chen Chen.
Therefore, she had been spending the past few days in endless conflict and torture, constantly attacking and defending Chen Chen.
However, she also understood something. Perhaps it was out of love. No matter how much the outside world blocked it, the scale in her heart would still subconsciously lean toward Chen Chen.
There was a long silence, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
