Chapter 1047 - A Person’s Love

Chapter 1047 A Person’s Love Helian Wei Wei did not interrupt Lan Ya when she heard her answer. Instead, she gestured to her to continue her story.Lan Ya took a long, deep breath. Her fingers were stiff and her voice was slightly hoarse as she began explaining,
Both of us are from influential families, and we have known each other since we’re young. In the beginning, we were very close to each other. Although I’m one year older than him, he always took care of me. We grew up in the same Main Compound. When we were young, we liked to gather in a group of friends. He would treat me as his best brother, bringing me everywhere and telling me everything. But, I didn’t want to be his brother because I really love him very much. Later, when the Chen family fell into crisis, my family tried our best to help them stay afloat.


Without pausing, she continued,
After Uncle Chen was admitted to the hospital, the responsibility as the head of the family fell on his shoulders. As if he had evolved overnight, he wanted to give up on medicine and do business instead. He even wanted to drop out of school and follow his uncle to do business in Shenzhen. I knew the reason he made these decisions was to earn a lot of money within a short period of time. I also knew how happy he was when he talked about his work as a doctor. As such, I brought all my money to him and told him that he could have everything he wanted if he agreed to be in a relationship with me. I might be the most despicable person ever, as I knew his weakness and I used the opportunity to get him.


He did not agree at first. However, without knowing what happened, he signed the contract after he became drunk and slept with me. I would do my very best to get him a job in the hospital, and he will stay by my side for three years. The contract would no longer be effective once three years have passed. I could not forget how he looked at me coldly and emotionlessly at that moment but luckily, he agreed. That’s how I fooled myself and everyone in a relationship with him.

She further elaborated,
Everyone thought that the Chen family would most probably collapse. Fortunately, my father did not give up on making connections in the industry. Additionally, the political situation had undergone a transformation. Not only did Uncle Chen recover well, he even turned his misfortune into opportunity, and his business skyrocketed in revenue in just half a year. So, he clearly told me that he wanted to rescind the contract with a lot of money. However, he doesn’t understand how important the contract is to me. I selfishly thought that I should have him longer since he had not fallen for anyone yet. Therefore, I refused his proposal. Maybe he had despised me a long time ago, and he would avoid me when he saw me. Truly, this proves that the person that does not belong to you will never be yours.


At the beginning of this year, I knew that I should let him go when he first saw Xiao Ziqiu. I hated the version of myself from that time – constantly afraid that he would go out and eat with Xiao Ziqiu, or appear in the same news with her. I had a hard time, and I started to get angry. I endlessly reminded him that the contract had ended yet, while he merely glared at me like I was a heap of rubbish. Perhaps, this is the punishment given by God to me for my wishful thinking. He would fall for someone else anyway. But, why did I try to stop him from seeking happiness, even though I just want him to be happy?
Tears rolled down her cheeks as Lan Ya mumbled,
I really gave up when Xiao Ziqiu appeared. I’ve told myself to let go but I don’t know why am I still here?


Do you still love him?
Helian Wei Wei replied affirmatively, as she raised her head to look at Lan Ya.
Lan Ya answered with a yes. Her throat began to hurt as she muttered,
So did I trap him? If that’s the case, please destroy me completely and crush my soul. I don’t want to stay like this anymore. In his eyes, maybe I’m a truly disgusting person. However, it’s a miserable fact that I could not change anymore. The person has stayed by my side ever since I was born. I used a very malicious way to make him stay with me because I was afraid that he would leave one day. I’ve seen their photos, the way he looked at her, his eyes were filled with an undying love. Now that he has found his one true love, I don’t want to waste his time anymore.


Miss Lan.
Helian Wei Wei looked at her,
What if you’re still alive?

Lan Ya was stunned.
Am I still alive?


You are a living soul, not a dead soul.
Helian Wei Wei explained professionally,
As a paid exorcist, I have the right to help you to solve the root problem. I can send you back as long as we can find your body and figure out the reason why you are being trapped here. Of course, we have little time to waste. How many days have you been in this situation?

Lan Ya shook her drowsy head and replied,
Maybe around four or five days, I can’t keep track of it anymore.


You still have two days left to return to your body. This is known as the seventh day of death. You can continue your living if you return to your body before it. Once it has exceeded seven days, your soul will be tainted by the deadly aura and the ghost reaper will appear to bring you to the netherworld for reincarnation. Now, we still have time,
Helian Wei Wei spoke calmly.
Lan Ya lowered her eyes,
If I really survive, I will travel overseas for some time. Just like what you’ve said earlier, I’ll go there to take a break. Maybe I’m trying to have an escape. Since I’ve known him for many years, my heart will hurt whenever I see him. However, this is life, we have to constantly grow and move on. I’ll stay overseas for three years, so I can forget him little by little. When I have totally wiped out my feelings for him, I hope that I can face him and his wife with a smiling face and wish them well. Even though we aren’t lovers, we’re still friends who grew up together. I’m not sure if he would still abhor me when the moment comes, or assume that I have some evil intentions. However, all I want to do is to play the role of a good friend for him.


Great.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and said,
Miss Lan, you really deserve my help.

Deserve? Lan Ya felt that the word used by this shop owner was quite interesting. Furthermore, she did not expect that she was around 15 years old.
Perhaps, Chen Zhendong has already lost all interest in me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t miss this unusual fact.
How can I possibly have a 15-year-old friend?
Lan Ya smiled sullenly, as if the burden weighing on her shoulder had lifted a little. There was a pang of sharp pain in her heart, but it was a lot less severe compared to the first day when she was there.
Perhaps, this was how humans are, even the most painful heartache would subside with the passing of time.
As Helian Wei Wei watched her changing expression, the grin on her lips grew wider.
I personally love a love story between two childhood friends. Also, I love your character even more, Miss Lan. However, don’t you feel weird that you don’t have any idea of your cause of death in your brain?


Cause of death?
Lan Ya unconsciously tried to recall her memory, but a burst of pain hurt her head as a scene flashed across her mind. The intense pain was so unbearable that she could not help but grabbed her head.
Helian Wei Wei was slightly worried and instantly held her slim wrist to console her.
Stop your thoughts now. Do you feel better?

Lan Ya nodded, but her face was still ashen pale.
Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and looked at His Highness, who had remained silent since just now, asking,
What do you think?
