"Of course I’m hurt!" Di Mingchen moved forward and stood before her, his eyes reddening in an instant, staring straight at her.

Nangong Ran felt a little guilty.

Di Mingchen grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. "I’m hurt here, and no medicine can heal it."

Nangong Ran: "..."

"Only you can cure it." Di Mingchen sat down, holding her hand tightly, pressing it firmly against his chest; she could feel his heart beating intensely.

"I..." Nangong Ran didn’t know what to say, looking at him with blurred eyes as tears fell. After a long time, she struggled to move her lips, "There’s something wrong with my body! I can’t have children!"

As she spoke, she became somewhat agitated, suddenly breaking free from Di Mingchen’s hand. "Why would you still want me?"

"Of course, I want you!" Di Mingchen grabbed her hand again, allowing no room for her to escape, and said word by word while staring into her eyes, "Listen well, Nangong Ran. Whether you can have children, are lame, or disabled, in this life, I, Di Mingchen, am committed to you! There isn’t such an irresponsible woman who steals my heart only to stomp on it and toss it away! No excuse is enough for you to leave me.

The one I love is you; the one I want is you, regardless of your body or conditions! So what if you can’t have children? The Di Family isn’t short of heirs! Even if you were a vegetative person right now, I would still choose you!"

"Nangong Ran, do you know? Love starts with a heartbeat, is trapped in devotion, and ends in responsibility! No reason is a justification to abandon the other. Life’s road is so long, with so many twists and turns; if you stop just because of one hurdle, then there wouldn’t be love in this world, just people taking what they need! But I want love, the kind of love that shares hardships and never leaves, do you understand?!"

Nangong Ran was so stunned by Di Mingchen’s words that she couldn’t say a thing, overwhelmed with shock.

She couldn’t believe that Di Mingchen genuinely didn’t mind, didn’t care, didn’t consider it important?

"But I..." She wanted to say something, but Di Mingchen covered her mouth.

"No buts." He looked at her and said every word clearly, "Even without children, we will still be happy, trust me."

His eyes were so sincere it was impossible for her not to believe it.

"Second brother..." Nangong Ran burst into tears.

"I’m here for you, even if the sky falls." Di Mingchen looked at her, gently tightening his hold on her hand, "Xiaoran, don’t cry, as long as I’m here, there will be sunshine."

He finished speaking and then kissed her impatiently, with a deep attachment he couldn’t abandon, kissing her deeply.

Nangong Ran was moved, overwhelmed by emotion.

As long as I’m here, there will be sunshine!

Just a few words, yet they etched themselves into her heart.

Beside them, Gu Qibao couldn’t hold back her tears, sobbing uncontrollably, realizing how much Nangong Ran had been enduring on her own!

No wonder the doctor said she was malnourished.

She had been curious at the time, why was Nangong Ran malnourished?

She probably hadn’t had a proper meal since going to the filming base. Otherwise, how could she have fainted? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

She had been there for a whole week. How deep must the sadness have been for her to eat almost nothing for a week?

Finally, it was all alright, the storm had passed, and the sky was bright again. Not being able to have children was just a minor issue as long as her second brother didn’t mind; it was nothing to worry about.

Di Mingchen, of course, also knew about Nangong Ran’s health condition. His heart ached immensely, as if it was being twisted bit by bit with a knife.

His kisses grew increasingly gentle, gentle enough to envelop her completely and protect her with all his heart and soul.
