Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 182 Lin Qingruan x Mo Yucheng: I wish you can break free as soon as possible and live a free life

Zhao Meihua held her face and said, "I didn't expect to wake up and see you again."

"What are you talking about, auntie." Lin Qingruan put on a smiling face, "I have invited the most authoritative doctor, and he said there is a chance that it can be cured."

"Will it cost a lot? The cost here is so high. Where do you get the money?"

"You don't have to worry about the money and expenses for filming. My cousin is also working part-time during the summer vacation. He said he will come to see you in a while."

Lin Qingruan tried to change the subject, but Zhao Meihua held on and wouldn't let go.

She knew very well that there were too many temptations in the entertainment industry, and Zhao Meihua was afraid that she would go astray because of money.

But my aunt probably didn't know that she had already embarked on a path of no return.

Lin Qingruan suppressed all her complicated emotions, held her aunt's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, aunt. I recently met a big director who appreciates me very much and has also advanced my salary in advance."

"Did you meet your mentor?"

"Yeah." Lin Qingruan whispered, "He said that I would become a big star, stand on the stage and shine, and he would always be my loyal audience."

It was such a lie, but in the end Lin Qingruan herself even believed it to be true.

She felt like she was close to going crazy, unable to distinguish between the real world and the imaginary world. She felt like life was a big dream, and she was experiencing ups and downs in this dream, and could hardly tell what love was.

"Why didn't Meng Ze come with you?" Lin Qingruan said without raising her head: "He went to England."

"You can't always be a burden to others, right? He has his own family to take care of."

Zhao Meihua asked: "What did Meng Ze say?"

"He told me not to feel guilty, but how could I not feel guilty for making him endure so much criticism at school for no reason. I said I didn't want to go abroad and I wanted to stay in the country to act, and he said okay, he respected my decision." Lin Qingruan took a deep breath and turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

She would never forget the day she went to see Meng Ze.

He will always be the bright and handsome young man in her memory, who will respect all her choices and support all her endeavors.

Even though she broke up with him without warning, he still said with understanding, "Qing Ruan, I look forward to seeing your movies in the UK."

Finally they hugged each other deeply.

Meng Ze whispered in her ear: "Qing Ruan, I wish you can break free as soon as possible and live a free life."

Zhao Meihua sighed repeatedly and said it was a pity.

Lin Qingruan curled the corners of her lips. Regrets are always the norm in the world. She cannot be greedy and want everything. She wants her family to be safe, her career to be successful and her reputation to be renowned, and her loved one to be by her side all the time.

In the end, Lin Qingruan hugged Zhao Meihua tightly. She sighed with a sense of loss, "Aunt, do you think I will be happy in the future?"

Zhao Meihua reached out and wiped away her tears. "You will be happy."

"We will be happy."
-
It was already very late when I came out. The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The noisy chirping of cicadas in midsummer always reminded me of the hustle and bustle of the day.

Lin Qingruan walked slowly along the green path of the hospital. Her calves were sore from standing for so long, and every step she took in her high heels seemed like she was stepping on gravel.

She endured this pain silently, just like every night she waited in the hospital, walking twenty minutes to the nearest bus stop to wait for the last bus.

But today is different from the past.

The double flashes in front of the car flashed, and a bright light illuminated the road in front of her. Lin Qingruan squinted her eyes subconsciously, and the hand holding the umbrella dropped unconsciously. She turned sideways to watch Mo Yucheng get out of the car.

He was driving the same car he had driven when he came here. He had taken off his suit jacket, revealing a simple white shirt, which he lazily held in his hands. He raised his chin towards her and walked to the street light to smoke a cigarette.

Lin Qingruan didn't expect that he would really come to pick him up. She didn't say when she would come out.

She looked at the messy pile of documents on the passenger seat again. Mo Yucheng had casually placed the signing pen in the central armrest. The handwriting she caught a glimpse of in her peripheral vision was bold and casual.

He wouldn't stay in this small office just to wait for her, right?

This thought made Lin Qingruan panic for a second. She felt the air was cramped and every breath in the car was filled with his scent.

Her heartbeat subconsciously slowed down, and she turned her head impatiently, just in time to see Mo Yucheng leaning lazily under a street light smoking.

He probably didn't know that the dim light illuminated every inch of his face, his deep and sharp eyebrows, his high nose bridge, his unpainted red lips, and his cynical smile. He must be the most elegant and romantic person in the world.

How could such a person stay for her?
It was just his momentary impulse, or maybe it was his possessiveness that was at work. In any case, someone like Mo Yucheng should never be associated with love.

Lin Qingruan sneered and folded her aunt's medical record into three pieces and put them into her bag. She folded every fold of the umbrella and put it quietly in its original place.

Mo Yucheng finished smoking and slowly walked towards her.

He knocked on the passenger window, and Lin Qingruan lowered the window without knowing why.

He leaned his head towards her upper body, and a faint smell of tobacco wafted in. Mo Yucheng stretched out his hand and moved closer. Lin Qingruan subconsciously dodged, but there was no way to retreat in the narrow space, so she instinctively stiffened her whole body.

The seat belt was stuffed into her palm, and Mo Yucheng raised his eyebrows, as if he was just kindly reminding her not to forget to fasten her seat belt.

But Moqi told Lin Qingruan that he was just teasing her on purpose, and he couldn't hide his bad character at all.

Mo Yucheng smiled casually, his face showing a bit of pleasure. The car was still running, and the air conditioner was at just the right temperature. He pulled up the locations of several restaurants on his phone and asked her which one she wanted to go to.

Lin Qingruan took a glance and said uninterestedly that she didn't want to go to any of them.

Mo Yucheng said, "I heard from Yanchen that there is an Italian restaurant that is delicious and not far away."

Lin Qingruan said "OK" without much expression, in a completely businesslike manner.

She completely treated Mo Yucheng as her boss at work, and she did whatever he asked her to do, like a puppet, without the slightest emotion.

Mo Yucheng felt a lump in his heart. The person was by his side, but his heart had already flown away to who knows where.

He had been used to a life of luxury since he was a child, getting whatever he wanted. This was the first time he felt overwhelmed by someone and refused to listen to any persuasion, which only made him feel upset.

What else can we do?

From then on, he would just coax her year after year.

After dinner they returned to their apartment, a small house near the city center. They lived there simply because it was close to Lin Qingruan's workplace.

When turning on the light, Lin Qingruan casually said, "There's a broken light in the living room. I'll ask someone to fix it in a couple of days."

"Let me do it."

Mo Yucheng didn't know why he took the initiative to do this job. Maybe he felt that this scene was too lifelike. He moved a stool and stood on it. He lowered his eyes and saw Lin Qingruan standing on tiptoe and reaching out to hand her a light bulb.
