Ever since Cian had abducted her, everything had been in a state of disarray. Lu ngjie's friendship with Tian Ruyi was on the verge of dissolving at the sa ti, as a result of the severe injuries Yong Liwie sustained while fighting Cian, he was in a coma. Aside from that, despite the fact that her Tian Ruyi held her responsible for Bai Jingye's passing, she was compelled to withhold the information about him being alive from her since she was told that Si Guanin had taken her in. Lu njie wanted to tell her the truth more than anything, but she knew she couldn't, not until she made sure that Tian Ruyi was away from their enemy's reach.
It has been weeks since Yong Liwei was admitted to the hospital. He was still in coma and during that ti, Lu ngjie had been plotting a way to get back to the real mastermind behind that befell her. Si Guanlin.
She had already given him a lot of chances. She thought that he was soone who could change if she kept on trying but she was not going to be blinded anymore. She may have once valued him as her friend but he had been backstabbing her so many tis. If it wasn't for his younger brother, Si Hongqi, she wouldn't have turned a blind eye on that bastard.
Sighing inwardly, Lu ngjie stared at her husband's handso, and yet, pale face. She reached out and held Yong Liwei's hand. "Liwei, please wake up soon."
Despite her plea, the man on the bed remained still and unconscious.
Lu ngjie never missed a day whenever she visited Yong Liwei. Every ti she did, she would always say the sa words.
Just as she was about to leave the hospital after she had visited him, she received a ssage from Si Hongqi.
[Are you free? Can we et?]
Since she had nothing scheduled for that day, Lu ngjie sent him a reply. [I'm free. Where do you want to et?]
She soon received another ssage from him with the address written on it.
SInce Lu ngjie didn't have anything scheduled that day, she decided to et him in his place.
Arriving at the penthouse, she was welcod by Si Hongqi himself. "ngng," he greeted her with a smile.
"So, why did you want to co here?" Lu ngjie was direct to the point as she looked at him with a brow raised. She didn't want to stay long in his place since she still had to visit Bai Jingye later.
Si Hongqi noticed the bags under her eyes and how her face grew thin. She was probably sleepless for days. "You should co in first." He moved aside and let her inside. "I'm not going to stay long here, gege." "I know but soone wants to talk with you." He began leading her towards the living room.
Furrowing her brows, Lu ngjie looked at him in confusion while she followed him inside.
He eyed her then flashed her a small smile when he saw the way she was looking at him. "Oh co one, don't look at like that."
She scoffed. "Then how am I supposed to look at you?"
Si Hongqi shook his head instead before finally coming to a stop when they entered the living room. He turned to the person sitting by the sofa.
When Lu ngjie followed his gaze, her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw a familiar person. Tian Ruyi.
The woman on the sofa stood up. "ngjie," said Tian Ruyi with a soft tone in her voice.
Despite being shocked to see her, in the next second, Lu ngjie ca rushing towards her. She wrapped her arms around her and hugged her closely. "Xiao Ruyi, you're safe!"
Tian Ruyi had expected such a reaction from her friend. The side of her lips curled up into a smile as she raised her arms and hugged her back without saying anything at the mont. She was just glad to finally see Lu ngjie again since she felt like it had been so long since they last saw each other.
Si Hongqi, who was watching the two won reconcile, decided to leave them alone and give them ti and space with each other.
Leaning back, Lu ngjie released her from the hug. "Where have you been?" She began examining her face and arms, making sure that she wasn't hard in any way. "You're not hurt anywhere, right? You looked so thin! Have you been eating well?"
Tian Ruyi couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. "I should say the sa thing to you. Besides, why are you acting like a mother?"
"I am a mother." She huffed.
"Oh right, you are." They ended up looking at each other in silence for a few seconds before breaking into a shared laughter.
"I'm really glad to see that you're alright Xiao Ruyi," Lu ngjie said as she held her hand and gave it a soft squeeze.
"ngjie…" Tian Ruyi felt her chest tighten because of the guilt of what she did. She lowered her head before she finally apologized by saying, "I'm sorry for what I said last ti…"
When she finally ca to her senses, she regretted the words she had told Lu ngjie. She regretted blaming her even though she had nothing to do with it. It wasn't Lu ngjie's fault that Bai Jingye died. She knew how much their friend ant to him. If Tian Ruyi was in that situation, she would have done the sa thing and went to save her even if it ant putting her life at risk, after all, Lu ngjie was a precious friend.
"It's alright. What matters is that you're alright."
Tears welled up in Tian Ruyi's eyes. How could she forgive her so easily?
Lu ngjie leaned forward to hug her one more ti. She tightened her embrace around her as she buried her face on her shoulder. Before she knew it, she was already drenching her friend's shirt because of her tears. "I… I was really scared though… I… I didn't know what to do… You hating … I-"
"I can never hate you…" Tian Ruyi whispered, interrupting her.
