Especially after knowing that there might be another truth to those matters, Bai Ran could not help but pity him and want to forgive him.

Although she still had no intention of taking back the divorce, Bai Ran knew clearly that she was a little shaken.

Yu Xuan could not see this wavering. Otherwise, she would definitely go crazy!

Therefore, she had no reason to chase after her.

When Chen Chen saw Yu Xuan leave, he only heaved a sigh of relief and did not feel that it had any effect.

“This woman. Seriously, when can she not come? She came to disturb my appetite at a time like this. Such a table of good dishes is already cold. What a sin!” With that, Chen Chen sat down and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.

Seeing that Bai Ran was still standing at the side, Chen Chen said as he ate, “Wow, this chick stewed with mushrooms is too delicious. Ran Ran, why are you standing there? Sit down and eat with me! Tsk, tsk. This stir-fried beef is not bad either. Your skills are too good…”

Bai Ran was a little helpless. She sat down with a dark expression and took a bite of the food. She felt that it was tasteless.

When Chen Chen saw that she was unhappy, he became serious and said, “Don’t be sad anymore. What Yu Xuan said earlier isn’t without reason. I’ve hurt you so much, and a misunderstanding can’t be made up for. If you want to divorce me now, I’ll respect your wishes.”

When Bai Ran heard this, she suddenly looked up at him and saw that Chen Chen’s eyes were filled with seriousness.

Chen Chen continued, “These are two different matters. Today, you want to thank me for saving you. I accept it, but I also apologize for my previous recklessness. I’ve hurt you too much, and many times, it was fatal. It can’t be erased with a few words. I don’t dare to think that you can still forgive me at this time. I can only say that I’ll work hard to make up for my debt to you, make you safe, make you happy, and change your mind. During this period, I can accept any thoughts you have, be it divorce or ignore me. I’m serious.”

Chen Chen said it word by word. He did not seem to be joking, and it was rare to see him so serious.

Bai Ran looked into his eyes and felt that there was no reason not to believe him.

In the past, he had always been a little persistent. On the one hand, he felt guilty for his mistake, and on the other, he had gritted his teeth and refused to get a divorce. Now, he seemed to have changed and had more respect for her.

Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran’s eyes and felt mixed emotions.

He looked heartless, but Yu Xuan’s words earlier were like needles. Every word pierced his heart. He had really hurt Bai Ran too much. He did not have the right to capture her heart with a few sweet words just because Bai Ran was soft-hearted and kind.

He had also seen Bai Ran’s reaction over the past few days. He was basically certain that Bai Ran still loved him.

When he felt this fact, he felt happy and guilty.

The more Bai Ran was like this, the more he felt that he had let her down. The more he could not use her kindness and love to achieve his goal.

He wanted to create a barrier for himself and make it up to Bai Ran. He wanted to prove his feelings through huge efforts and obtain her heart. Only then would his conscience be at ease.

When Bai Ran heard him say this, her eyes were already filled with tears.

After some thought, Chen Chen continued, “I think it’s time for me to leave. I know you’re in a bad mood now, and so am I. But don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything you’re unwilling to do. I hope you can give me some time to make up for my past mistakes.”

Chen Chen was about to leave, but Bai Ran could not say anything else. Her heart was also in a mess, and she wanted to be quiet.

When he reached the door, Chen Chen suddenly thought of something and put down his hand to open the door. He turned around and said, “What I said to Yu Xuan earlier was a little heavy. I’ll apologize to her if there’s a chance. However, there are some things I have to say. I don’t know what you think. She has crossed the line in many things. You have to know that you’re a person with your own will. No one can disrespect your wishes and kidnap you just because she treats you well.”

At this point, Chen Chen paused and looked into Bai Ran’s eyes. “There are some things I shouldn’t say. You’re also very resistant. You stopped me that day. But I still have to say that her feelings for you are no longer pure friendship. I hope you still insist on yourself and not be kidnapped by her so-called friendship.”
