"Don't be surprised, Jun Yucheng and I have no chance."
When she said this, she pulled an understatement into a smile and continued: "Originally, I planned to return to the United States after you were discharged from the hospital."
This was her decision from the beginning. Although Zhuo Ruinian felt a little reluctant to let go, he did not force her to stay.
He knew very well that although Ji Ran said that she wanted to forget Jun Yucheng, it was impossible for her to forget Jun Yucheng. In fact, this was just Ji Ran deceiving herself.
If she could forget Jun Yucheng, there would be no need to return to the United States.
Although he knew it in his heart, he didn't want to expose Ji Ran.
After Ji Ran checked his whole body, she suddenly sat down by his bed. In his surprised eyes, she took his hand, looked at him seriously, and said, "Rui Nian,
How about we go back to the United States and get married?"
What really scared Ji Ran was her words.
Hearing Ji Ran say this to him, he was stunned for nearly a minute. For a moment, he thought he heard wrongly.
Just looking at Ji Ran's serious expression that didn't look like a joke at all, after a while, a fleeting loneliness flashed across his eyes, and he held Ji Ran's hand with his backhand, his eyes equally serious.
"Xiaoran, do you really want to marry me?"
His tone sounded a little weird, hoarse with trembling, and trembling with a little struggle.
Marrying Ji Ran was what he had been looking forward to day and night, but he knew that Ji Ran's marriage to him had nothing to do with love.
Ji Ran heard him ask this and nodded without thinking, "Yes."
Zhuo Ruinian looked at her quietly with a little pity in his eyes. The hand still inserting the needle gently brushed Ji Ran's forehead, smiling weakly but full of tenderness:
"Xiaoran, before you decide to marry me, answer me a question first, okay?"
Ji Ran was startled, not knowing what Zhuo Ruinian was going to ask. His eyes were a little confused, but he still nodded, "Okay, you ask."
"Do you love me?"
A question that was so direct that there was no mincing words made Ji Ran's face freeze.
The smile on her lips became stiff, and she looked at Zhuo Ruinian, but she couldn't answer.
In fact, no matter how she ran away from Jun Yucheng or how hard she tried to forget Jun Yucheng, subconsciously, she still loved that man!
The man she didn't want to love.
Zhuo Ruinian's question was not difficult for her to answer, but it was difficult for her to say it.
He opened and closed his mouth several times, but when the words came to his lips, he still shrank back.
Zhuo Ruinian was still so quiet that he looked at her without saying a word, his eyes were still so clear and so gentle that they almost melted everything.
Seeing that Ji Ran hesitated several times and swallowed the words on his lips, he already knew Ji Ran's answer clearly in his heart and did not need her answer at all.
"Xiaoran, I want to marry you, but I don't like your way of repaying a favor."
"Rui Nian..."
Ji Ran was so shocked by Zhuo Ruinian's words that she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he was still looking at her with soft eyes and a slight smile on his lips.
She was about to explain, but Zhuo Ruinian reached out to stop her, "Xiao Ran, feelings cannot be exchanged for kindness. One day, wait for you to stand in front of me without hesitation and tell me that you love me.
