Her words were a surprise to Shen Qi. She didn’t expect Han Xueyou to say it directly like this in a loud voice. Hence, she turned her head in a panic as she looked at the door of the ward.
“Qi, are you very scared? Because you are pregnant with Ye Linhan’s child, so even if you are with Ye Moxuan, you won’t feel peace. If, and I mean if, Ye Moxuan knew that you had an affair with Ye Linhan, do you think that he could tolerate this?”
Hearing this, Shen Qi’s heart turned cold. She looked at Han Xueyou. “So what? Are you going to tell him about this? Or do you think that by saying this, I will divorce Ye Moxuan?”
Han Xueyou shook her head with a look of horror. “You’ve misunderstood me, Qi. As long as you don’t want to, I won’t tell this to anyone until I die. Qi, we are best of friends, and I always have your best interest at heart. Look at this…”
Han Xueyou suddenly handed a contract to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi didn’t care at all, but when she saw the name on the agreement, her face instantly turned pale, and her breathing sped up. “Why is this agreement with you?”
Han Xueyou didn’t speak but looked at her with some timidity in her eyes.
It was the divorce agreement she signed with Ye Moxuan. But why was it here with Han Xueyou? What on earth was happening?
Could it be that… The satisfactory answer that Ye Moxuan promised me. Is it this divorce agreement?
“Qi, I know you may have a deep love for Moxuan, but… love cannot be forced. He doesn’t love you at all. If he found out that the father of your child is Ye Linhan, he would hate you. Instead of making both of you miserable, wouldn’t it be better to stay with Ye Linhan? He really loves you.”
“Stop talking!” Shen Qi interrupted her harshly. “I don’t need anyone to teach me what decision I should make. I can be with whomever I want to be with. You also said that love cannot be forced, then why are you forcing me to be with Ye Linhan? Han Xueyou, I’ve always considered you as my closest friend, my sister. You said you are doing this for my good, but have you ever asked me if I want to be with Ye Linhan? You only know that he loves me, but you’ve never asked me if I love him back. Even if you know about it, you still insisted on me being with him. To put it nicely, you said it’s for my own good. But in reality, it’s just to fulfill your selfish desires, isn’t it?”
Han Xueyou was stunned by her words, and she looked at her blankly. “S-Selfish desires?”
“If you aren’t acting out of selfish desires, you will find that your behavior is no different from forcing me. However, you have been completely led by your feelings for Ye Moxuan, so you intentionally tried to matchmake me and Ye Linhan, right?”
“Qi—”
“Today is the last time I’m going to see you. Xueyou, no matter what you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me anymore. Indeed, you have been very good to me all this while, but I’ve treated you very well too. In a relationship, the feelings between two parties have to be mutual. I don’t owe you anything. On top of that, I saved your life yesterday, so I owe you nothing from now onward. I won’t see you again in the future.”
With that, Shen Qi turned around and walked out.
She knew that she had to be tough, otherwise she would be moved by Han Xueyou easily.
“Even if Ye Moxuan takes that divorce agreement and tells you that he wants a divorce one day, wouldn’t it matter to you? Qi, you said I’m doing these for my own selfish desires, but I’m also doing it for your own good. If he really divorces you, what should you do?”
“Really?” Shen Qi smiled faintly. “We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. Besides, it’s my business. I believe I have the abilities to handle it well.”
Seeing that Shen Qi had really made up her mind to leave, Han Xueyou felt anxious and jumped out of bed to pull her hand. “Don’t go, Qi. It’s all my fault. But I really can’t live without Moxuan, and he doesn’t love you at all. Will you give him to me? I beg you this time.”
“What are you talking about?” Shen Qi thought she heard it wrongly as she stared at Han Xueyou incredulously. “Say it again?”
“I’m sorry, Qi. I know this request is too much, but I really can’t live without him. Every second that I’m alive, I think of him. You shouldn’t have saved me yesterday, and you should’ve let me die. It would be so much better if I was dead!”
Hearing this, Shen Qi sneered as she looked at Han Xueyou mockingly, but she seemed to be mocking herself at the same time. “Are you blaming me because I saved you? Or, are you threatening me with your life?”
“Qi, I didn’t mean it, but I really love him. You are pregnant now, and Ye Linhan loves you so much. Why don’t you just change another man to fall in love with? Ye Linhan is the one who can give you happiness!”
“You don’t have the rights to force me to accept what Ye Linhan can give me! Xueyou, you weren’t like this before. How come you have become like this now?”
“Qi, just let me have him. Please, I’m begging you.” Han Xueyou didn’t answer Shen Qi; instead, she looked as if she had been hit by a spell—she kept hugging Shen Qi’s thigh, asking her to give Ye Moxuan to her repeatedly.
Shen Qi struggled to pull her legs away from Han Xueyou’s grasps, but she seemed to have made up her mind as she held Shen Qi firmly while begging her with tears in her eyes.
“Qi, I have known you for so long; you can tell how sincere I’ve always treated you. I have never begged you for anything. But this time around, I just beg you to give me Ye Moxuan. Qi, without him, I really can’t survive.”
Han Xueyou kept crying miserably, completely unaware of the fact that Shen Qi’s fair cheeks were already covered with tears as she bit her lower lip tightly.
“Are you threatening me with your own life again? Our friendship is completely broken this time. For a man, you would rather lose your best friend!”
“No!” Han Xueyou shook her head vehemently. “As long as you promise to give Ye Moxuan to me, we can still be good friends. Qi, I will treat you very well in the future, and after your child is born… I will treat the baby as my own child. You will be my sister in the future, and I will treat you very well.”
After hearing these words, Shen Qi had already understood Han Xueyou’s thoughts.
Perhaps she really had a deep love for Ye Moxuan.
“How sweet.” Shen Qi let out a chuckle with tears flowing down her face, but she didn’t lower her head.
In the past, Han Xueyou was the only person whom she was not afraid to show her tears to. But now, she felt that if she let Han Xueyou see her tears again, she would probably make fun of her.
After all, Han Xueyou’s mind was full of Ye Moxuan now.
“You only think about how much you love Ye Moxuan, but you didn’t spare a thought about my feelings at all.”
She never knew that she and Han Xueyou would fall in love with the same man, and that such a big change would happen between them because of this man.
