The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 1052 Foolish Enough

Lan Ya lifted her foot and took a brave step forward. Finally, she was able to step out of the three-meter limit.

At that moment, she knew that she had let everything go.

She turned her head around to look at Helian Wei Wei, wanting to express her sincere gratitude.

Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes instead. “I haven’t done anything. As of now, I haven’t come up with a solution to return you to your body yet.”

“This is already good enough,” Lan Ya said with a smile. “There’s less than three days left. In the remaining time, while I’m in this form, I can still visit my friends and family instead of being stuck at the same spot as I was in the previous few days. Boss, I wish you and your beloved eternal happiness.”

Lan Ya glanced at Baili Jia Jue, who was sitting by the side. “You two are meant for each other.”

Helian Wei Wei was not sure how Lan Ya discerned her relationship with His Highness, so she was a little surprised.

Baili Jia Jue, who was silent the entire time, merely raised his eyelids and broke into an exquisitely graceful smile. “Thank you. We shall.”

Lan Ya spoke no further. She took one last look at Chen Zhendong before turning around, as tears streamed down her face.

Her back was held straight.

She looked just like her fearless and domineering self when she was negotiating contracts in the business world in the past.

However, behind every toughened figure were hidden scars and unknown miseries.

Lan Ya left quickly, so she did not know what happened immediately after.

A person could be heard asking a question in a hoarse voice from the bar. “This is how short her love lasts? Merely three years? No, that’s not it. She has never loved me in the first place.”

Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around to gaze at him.

Chen Zhendong was clutching his abdomen with one hand as he shoved Xiao Ziqiu aside with the other, who tried to support him. He stared blankly at her and muttered, “She’s not picking up my call. That person is probably telling the truth. If she has fallen in love with someone else, then what am I to her?”

He knew that such a day would come.

So, he tried his best to not fall for her.

He was unsure that he could endure the excruciating heartache if she left him after all the love she gave him.

He did not expect the day to come so soon.

There was no reason for it to come so soon.

“Senior!” Xiao Ziqiu made an attempt to hold back Chen Zhendong. Yet, before she could do so, Helian Wei Wei turned around and stood between both of them.

“From what I’ve heard from Mr. Chen, it doesn’t seem that you actually dislike Lan Ya.” Helian Wei Wei stared at Chen Zhendong. Disregarding his pitiable expression, she continued bluntly, “If you still wish to see Lan Ya again, come with me.”

Chen Zhendong’s pupils quivered when he heard her offer. Without second thoughts, he instantly stood up and followed closely behind Helian Wei Wei.

“You can’t do that, senior. Your gastric pain must be flaring up again, you need to visit the hospital first,” Xiao Ziqiu insisted.

Helian Wei Wei smiled faintly as she looked at Chen Zhendong. “Mr. Chen, do you think it’s appropriate for you to have another woman with you now?”

Xiao Ziqiu’s expression altered abruptly as he mumbled, “I really don’t.”

“I believe you,” Helian Wei Wei truly believed him this time, saying, “What I’m asking for is Mr. Chen’s decision, this has nothing to do with Miss Xiao.”

Chen Zhendong quietly uttered, “Ziqiu, you should leave first. The next time you ask me out, make Chen Jie come along too. If I’m meeting the two of you, there won’t be any misunderstandings.”

Xiao Ziqiu did not let go of his hand and adamantly replied, “That’s a different matter. Senior, it’s bad for your body if you don’t treat your gastritis now.”

“That’s my own problem,” Chen Zhendong said impassively, with a cold menace veiled behind his feigned politeness.

Xiao Ziqiu was dumbfounded, as her fingers slowly slipped away from him.

Helian Wei Wei did not look at Chen Zhendong. Instead, she turned toward Baili Jia Jue who was standing next to her. “What would you do if I were to misunderstand your relationship with some other girl?”

Baili Jia Jue raised an eyebrow as he replied casually, “Other than you, I’m not close with any other girls.”

Helian Wei Wei laughed quietly. Then, she glared at Chen Zhendong and said, “This is the reason why Lan Ya left you.”

Chen Zhendong’s body shook in astonishment.

“Think about how long the two of you have been together, and how long you’ve known Ms. Xiao.” Helian Wei Wei’s tone was indifferent as she continued, “It doesn’t matter if you did it on purpose or not. You’ve aggrieved her simply because of another woman.”

Xiao Ziqiu gaped in surprise as he replied weakly, “Little young girl, you’re still a teenager, right? How could you say something so…”

“Harsh?” Helian Wei Wei laughed and added, “My apologies, this is how I speak. Time is of the essence, yet Ms. Xiao doesn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.”

Xiao Ziqiu began laughing too. She found it absurd that such a young girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started meddling with their businesses.

“Senior, you can’t possibly…”

Before Xiao Ziqiu could finish, Chen Zhendong said, “You’re right. It doesn’t matter if I did it on purpose or not. I shouldn’t be with anyone else besides her. But, I have to make myself clear, I’ve never done anything that would hurt her. Everyone else doesn’t matter – where is she now?”

Helian Wei Wei shrugged, her expression seemed a little unwilling as she answered, “Mr. Chen, to be honest, you quite disgust me. However, I hate ruining childhood relationships. Also, I’m currently in the midst of growing too, so it can’t be helped. Otherwise, I’d really rather not help you.”

Baili Jia Jue smirked when he heard her nagging the man, utterly fascinated by her. She always acted gruffly on the surface, even though she would eventually soften up and assist them…

Xiao Ziqiu was concerned and attempted to follow Chen Zhendong.

However, Chen Zhendong glared at her viciously as a warning.

Flustered, Xiao Ziqiu knew that it would be pointless to follow him anymore, so she could only abandon the idea and remain where she was.

Without causing a kerfuffle, the three of them left the bar together.

Chen Zhendong assumed that Helian Wei Wei would bring him to some decent place.

To his great surprise, she actually brought him to a hospital instead. It was a unique hospital in the Capital that specialized in treating critically ill patients. Those who were admitted here would be severely unwell, such as cancer or vegetative patients.

Chen Zhendong frowned when he saw their destination. He felt weirdly uneasy and asked, “Why do you bring me here?”

“Aren’t you curious about how Lan Ya and I got acquainted at all?” Helian Wei Wei looked at him with a faint smile on her face, as her kassaya flowed gracefully in the air. “Actually, we aren’t really friends. I’m a Taobao shop owner, and I do business between the living and the dead. She came to me asking for help.”

Chen Zhendong’s gaze darkened instantly, as he asked uncertainly, “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you suspect that this is all planned by Lan Ya? Unfortunately, she didn’t plan her disappearance at all. She can’t appear before you, because…she’s dead.” Helian Wei Wei finished her sentence.

Like a violent beast out of control, his eyes suddenly turned crimson red as he screamed, “Take that back! Take back what you just said!” Then, he laughed incredulously to himself and placed his hand on his forehead, as his entire body began to tremble. His cool demeanor had vanished and his voice was hoarse as he spoke, “I must be silly. I actually believed in a child’s words just so I could see her again…”
