Keeping the promise

Zhong Chunjie then smiled, and that smile was as bright and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

She walked to the bedside and sat down, her movements a little hurried, and said, "Wancheng, how do you feel? We were so worried about you." Her eyes were fixed on Zheng Wancheng, her eyes full of concern and worry.

Zheng Wancheng looked at everyone with gratitude, her eyes slightly red, and said, "I'm much better now. Seeing you all here, my heart feels very warm." Her voice was a little choked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The few of them chatted lively for a while, and the atmosphere was so warm that it seemed to sweep away the gloom in the ward.

They left reluctantly only when the sunlight outside the window gradually set and the sky darkened.

Zheng Wancheng was just about to lie down to rest when the soft pillow seemed to be waving at her, calling out to her tired body.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in." Zheng Wancheng said.

There was a hint of doubt in her voice, wondering who it could be at this time.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Qin Huaifeng's figure appeared at the door.

Zheng Wancheng's heart tightened, as if she was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand. She knew that he might also know her identity.

Qin Huaifeng walked slowly into the ward. His steps were heavy and slow. His eyes were fixed on Zheng Wancheng, as if that was his only focus in the world.

After not seeing each other for many years, the woman in front of me has lost her youthfulness and become more mature and charming.

He tried hard to control his pounding heart, tried to look calm, and walked step by step to the bedside.

"You're back." Qin Huaifeng's voice trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with complex emotions, including joy, guilt, and longing.

Zheng Wancheng smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in her smile: "Long time no see, Qin Huaifeng." Her eyes stayed on him for a moment, then moved away.

Qin Huaifeng took a deep breath, as if to suppress the waves in his heart, and said, "Everyone has missed you all these years." His eyes were full of expectation, hoping to see a hint of emotion on her face.

A hint of emotion flashed across Zheng Wancheng's eyes, and those past memories flooded into her mind like a tide: "Really? Time flies so fast." Her voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Qin Huaifeng went on, "During the years since you left, Li Yunxuan has never returned to Li Yunting's side, and has taken over part of my power here." His eyes were fixed on Zheng Wancheng, observing her reaction.

Zheng Wancheng frowned slightly, feeling a surge of worry in her heart: "He shouldn't be involved in these right and wrongs. I don't want Li Yunxuan to become that kind of person." There was determination in her tone, and her eyes were full of protection for Li Yunxuan.

Qin Huaifeng sighed softly and said helplessly: "But there are some things that are beyond our control. Li Yunxuan has his own ideas and determination." There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Zheng Wancheng was silent for a moment, her heart full of contradictions, and said: "I just hope he can be safe and live an ordinary life." Her eyes were full of desire, which was a yearning for a peaceful life.

Qin Huaifeng looked at Zheng Wancheng and said seriously: "I understand your concerns, but he wants to do something for you and wants to change the situation." His tone was firm, trying to make Zheng Wancheng understand Li Yunxuan's determination.

Zheng Wancheng shook her head, feeling helpless: "I don't need him to do anything for me, I just hope he can live for himself." There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

Qin Huaifeng said: "But he has an obsession in his heart and wants to make up for the regrets of the past." His eyes were full of understanding and sympathy.

Zheng Wancheng said helplessly: "Child, why bother? What's past is past." Her tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

Qin Huaifeng held Zheng Wancheng's hands, which were warm and powerful: "Wancheng, everyone is working hard to make things better." His eyes were full of encouragement and hope.

Zheng Wancheng pulled her hand back and turned her head away, her heart full of pain: "There is nothing to work hard for. Those things are in the past. The Zheng Wancheng of that year is dead." Her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing her inner struggle.

Qin Huaifeng was silent for a while, his heart full of heartache: "Wancheng, but we always have to try to reconcile, don't we?" His voice was gentle, like a breeze.

Zheng Wancheng turned her head and looked at Qin Huaifeng, her eyes full of fatigue: "Qin Huaifeng, I'm really tired and don't want to be involved in all this trouble anymore." Her voice was filled with deep despair.

Qin Huaifeng looked at her with pity, as if he could feel her inner pain: "I know you are tired, but there are some things that you can't escape from just because you want to." His voice was full of helplessness and concern.

Zheng Wancheng closed her eyes and stopped talking. She was struggling painfully inside, not knowing how to face all this.

Qin Huaifeng knew that she needed time to think and accept, so he said softly: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day." After that, he slowly turned around and left the ward, each step carrying heaviness and reluctance.
