tiny grave, Dad, she's living in that suffocating prison! I'm out here, but... I haven't had a home for a long time!"Han Cheng let out a sigh, as if his heart was aching beyond words.He bent down and...Looking at Xia Yihan's concerned eyes in the video, Menglan felt a surge of guilt.

"Well, it's nothing serious, just a little cold. I'll be fine with some rest for a few days, don't worry about me," she said softly, trying to reassure them.

Ke Xia Yihang was also quite uneasy, her brows furrowed in concern as she inquired about her.

"No one's taking care of you, is there Looking at you like this, I guess you won't be back for a week. How about I take a few days off and bring the kids to see you"

"It's alright, the journey is quite bumpy anyway. It would be very inconvenient for you with the child. I'll get back as soon as possible." Menglan looked at his anxious face and felt a warmth in her heart. She softly explained, "As for me, you don't have to worry. Haicheng is where I grew up. I have many friends here who will look after me."

After she finished speaking, Xia Yihan smiled sheepishly, her voice laced with a hint of helplessness, "Yeah, I almost forgot. You know Hai Cheng better than me. How could no one take care of you"

Dream Lan smiled and didn't continue the topic.

She chatted with Liu Niancheng for a while longer, and was just about to hang up the phone when the camera suddenly turned to Xia Yihang.

"Menglan." Xia Yichan gazed seriously at the camera, looking at her, and asked word by word, "If I'm not mistaken, he takes care of you too, right"

Menglan knew exactly who "he" referred to.

In an instant, Meng Lan's face fell. Her deep gaze turned to Xia Yihang, and she explained in a low voice,

"The ins and outs of this are quite complicated, and I don't know how to explain it right now. This is something between me and Feng Mu, and I need some time to sort things out."

"Xia Yichan's brows furrowed. She looked at Menglan's determined eyes, and finally didn't say anything, only letting out a soft sigh.

Even across the screen, he could still feel Menglan's aloofness towards him.

He thought that for so many years, as long as he worked hard and silently treated her well behind the scenes, he could win her over. But now it seems that the result is not optimistic.

After hanging up the phone, Menglan also fell into deep thought. She tilted her head back and stared blankly at the ceiling.

To be honest, she's already in her thirties.

In the blink of an eye, time flies. She is no longer the fearless young girl she used to be, and with a son by her side, she should find a good man and get married as soon as possible.

It is obvious that Xia Yichan would be a great choice.

Why, when she saw this man do so much for her, was she only moved, but not in love

Knock, knock—

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly knocked.

向晚 was leaning against the doorframe, a thermos in her hand, smiling at her.

"Just staring off into space this morning. What are you thinking about"

Menglan came back to her senses and gave her a light tug on the corner of her lips, "It's nothing, just thinking about work."

"Hmm." Xiang Wan walked into the ward, placed the thermos on the table, and lifted the lid. The aroma of chicken soup immediately hit her nose. "I was just at the door and heard you taking a phone call. It was a man, it seems like he takes good care of you in Yun City."

Meng Lan wasn't planning on hiding it from her either, she managed a strained smile.

He is a friend of mine. He is also divorced and has a daughter. He usually takes care of my and Niancheng's lives.

"Just taking care" Xiang Wan was immediately sparked with gossip, she quickly rubbed her head against her face, curiously asking, "Come on, spill the beans, what does he do"

"PE Teacher."

"Teacher" Xiang Wan furrowed her brow, earnestly analyzing for her, "Bringing a child along after divorce, sounds like average conditions... But she's a teacher after all, her morals should be pretty good..."

"Stop! Halt!"

Meng Lan saw her talking non-stop and quickly reached out to stop her, her tone laced with a hint of helplessness. "We haven't even gotten together yet, we're just friends for now."

"Friends All relationships start with friendship first, don't they" Xiang Wan reached out and hooked her neck, a faint smile in her eyes. "Just now on the phone, I felt like this person was really good. You really don't have any feelings for him"

"Feeling..."

Menglan's brow furrowed as she pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "There should be some, after all, we've spent so long together. But to me, he's just like an older brother."

"That's just you not realizing it, you only think he spends a long time with you and Niancheng, so you feel his existence is a habit, but in reality, maybe even you yourself haven't realized that you've fallen for him." Xiangwan's tone was serious, her gaze fixed on him with no hint of a smile.

As soon as the voice fell, Menglan's brows furrowed into a knot.

Even she herself was almost moved by what A-Wa had said.

She even really doubted herself, was her feeling for Xia Yihang really just fraternal affection

Towards Evening, she looked at her with a sigh of resignation.

She stood up, poured a bowl of chicken soup and pushed it gently to her face. In a soft voice, she explained, “As an outsider, I can't offer much advice. All I hope is that you find happiness.”

Happiness....

Hearing this word, Menglan's heart was filled with a sour ache, her eyes gradually reddening.

Before she was imprisoned by him, the days felt like a living hell. She almost doubted if she ever deserved happiness in this life. Her entire being felt numb, like a walking corpse, enduring the torment of existence.

Until Niancheng appeared, she had lost all hope for life.

For the five years she spent hiding in Yun Cheng, she wasn't without suitors. But when faced with these people trying to get close to her, her first reaction wasn't happiness, but suspicion about why they would approach her at all.

I instinctively just want to avoid it.

"Don't think too much, you're in the same state as I was back then." Xiang Wan held her hand and looked at her with sincere eyes. She seriously said, "I used to hope that you and Feng Mu could get back together, after all, you still have a child between you. I think you must still have feelings for each other."

"But right now, I don't want you to do that. Compared to Hanchuan, Feng Mu truly cares too much, he isn't that brave, and I don't think he can give you happiness."

"... "

"Mulan, the meaning of life is actually in searching for it amidst the missed opportunities. We will always miss many people we love and eventually embrace the most suitable one." As she said this, Xiang Wan reached out to embrace Mulan in her arms, comforting her softly, "I hope you can learn to be a little selfish too, don't consider other people's thoughts, just let yourself be happy."
