"What... what?"
As if hearing things, Shi Ran felt it wasn't real.
"I said, come home with me." Tang Si added, "Back to the Tang family."
He said, come back to the Tang family with him.
Shi Ran's mind went blank, as if she were in an illusory void. The surroundings were silent, only the words 'come back to the Tang family with me' kept echoing.
"I don't understand... what you mean."
"Ran Bao'er, actually, I never told you, my marriage certificate with Zhao Wuyan is fake." Tang Si told Shi Ran the truth.
All along, he had no intention of getting a marriage certificate with Zhao Wuyan, so when the certificate was made, he had a thought and made a fake one.
Not only Zhao Wuyan, but even the Tang family were kept in the dark.
Tang Si originally thought his words would make Shi Ran happier, but after he finished speaking, he found that Shi Ran didn't show any emotional change.
"Whether the marriage certificate is real or fake, it doesn't mean anything anymore."
Shi Ran shook her head, facing Tang Si. Her clear, luminous eyes looked at him, her beautiful eyes like pearls covered in dust, losing their luster and color, becoming dim and lifeless.
She said, "You married Zhao Wuyan, she is your lawfully wedded wife. You are a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman." Her pale lips curved into a bitter arc. "We are worlds apart, not people from the same parallel world. Why force ourselves to be together?"
After experiencing hardships and twists and turns, Shi Ran felt more and more that being with Tang Si was impossible, and that she was not worthy of being with him.
She was truly tired of the constant fear and danger she lived in.
They say, "Once you enter the wealthy family, it's like entering a deep sea." Even before her foot had fully entered the wealthy family, she had already felt the darkness and pain, so she truly just wanted to escape.
"I am the father of the child, and I have a responsibility. I also love you and only want to be with you." Tang Si's brows furrowed slightly. The stern and deep face no longer held the initial frivolous and unrestrained demeanor.
Silence fell upon the hospital room once more.
Shi Ran blinked her long, curled eyelashes and finally turned her head to look at him, her gaze genuine and sincere. "I will give birth to the child. Will you give me a child?"
A humble plea, reduced to dust.
It was clearly her child, whom she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great effort, yet she had to beg the child's father to give her a child.
What was happening to this world?
Tang Si clenched his hand on the armrest of the visitor's chair. His brows furrowed, then relaxed, then furrowed again, his agonizing struggle evident on his face.
His heart ached as if it had suffered a severe blow.
But more than that, he felt pity for the tragic fate of the girl before him.
"The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for a while to recuperate and rest well." After he said this, he fell silent.
Tang Si didn't speak, and Shi Ran didn't make a sound either.
The hospital room was eerily silent.
So quiet that the footsteps in the corridor outside the room sounded jarringly loud.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ran's IV drip was finished. Tang Si pressed the "call" button by the bedside, and a nurse came in to remove her IV needle.
"When can I be discharged?"
Shi Ran looked at the nurse and asked.
The nurse glared at her, "You are pregnant with triplets, and your condition is quite dangerous. You're still thinking about being discharged?"
"Oh~" Shi Ran gave a soft "oh" and didn't dare to say anything more.
Perhaps the experience of last night had frightened her, and it had also frightened the children in her womb.
As the nurse left, Shi Ran secretly glanced at Tang Si, but he seemed to be staring at her. As a result, every time she quietly looked at him, their eyes would meet.
