Chapter 428: Chapter 399: Force Her to Remarry, 4000 words_3
"Joe, don’t think that way." Wen Nuan’s tears slid down: "I never meant to despise you, never!"
If she truly loved him, she wouldn’t resent what his legs became after the accident. She would give him all her love, even if he couldn’t stand, she would be his crutch. But the problem is so entangled; she doesn’t love him. Even marrying him is out of gratitude and guilt.
But if she doesn’t marry him, and he can’t stand up, he will lose the courage to live.
The night is deep; staring at the bright moon hanging high outside the window, Wen Nuan’s heart shrinks, her tears sliding down silently.
The doctor came for an examination in the afternoon. Leng Ye was clearly not as cooperative as before. His mood was very low, as if he had lost the previous confidence in rehabilitation. She was anxious but had no way to help.

Leng Group.
Leng Yan rubbed his brows tiredly, staring at the stock index.
They have found the culprit causing the Leng Group’s stock decline, a company based overseas, established for more than a year, with an overseas individual as the mastermind. Measures have been taken, and the company is gradually returning to normal. Everything seemed calm, yet he still felt uneasy.
He always felt that things were far from as simple as they seemed, so the investigation continued. The identified internal and external colluders made him increasingly puzzled and uneasy.
The investigation results pointed directly at one person!
Someone he thought could never be the culprit!
"Second Young Master, this is the latest analysis result, and it’s becoming increasingly evident."
The assistant came in, lowering his voice as he handed over a report. Leng Yan glanced at it, biting his teeth tightly.
"Go back to work," Leng Yan gestured lightly, sinking into the leather chair, holding the paper, still somewhat unable to accept it.
He didn’t understand the motive behind Leng Ye’s actions. He was also an important member of the Leng Family, so why force the Leng Family to a dead end?
Li Qiu called, asking him to bring some fruits to Leng Siyan. He hesitated, picking up the report, intending to take it to the hospital to hand over to Leng Siyan, but then frowned and put it down.
Considering Leng Siyan’s current health condition, it’s better not to know about this yet.

"They are just speculating now, without sufficient evidence. Also, Second Young Master is most puzzled about your motive, finding it hard to accept this result, not really believing it."
In the morning, a long-distance call from within the country came. Hearing the voice inside, Leng Ye breathed a small sigh of relief. After hanging up, he slowly moved his wheelchair to the door, looking through the large glass window at Wen Nuan, who was setting the tableware with the housekeeper in the kitchen, his fingers slightly tightening on the wheels.
The company’s matters didn’t cause him much loss because he had moved a significant amount of funds to set up a clothing brand. He initially thought of taking advantage of the troubled times at Leng Group to score a well-played victory with minimal investment.
But clearly, he failed.
Originally, he took these very seriously, but ever since the leg injury, and spending days together with her, he grew more indifferent to these matters, focusing more on the woman in front of him.
That day, he forced her to make a decision, whether to leave or stay. Wen Nuan said she would think it over carefully, and he knew her staying was out of gratitude. But he needs such an opportunity, he will treat her doubly well, turning gratitude into love over time.
He wanted a gradual transition, but now it looks like he can’t afford such slow progress. Leng Yan was too focused on the company before, not having time to pay attention to his condition. If someday, he makes a new discovery about his health...
This is what truly makes him anxious and uneasy.
Leng Yan loves Wen Nuan, and Wen Nuan hasn’t forgotten Leng Yan, he knows this too well. Because he knows, he’s uneasy.
He desperately feels that time for him is running out.
"Why did you come out by yourself?"
When Wen Nuan walked out of the kitchen, she found Leng Ye at the door, gazing at her with affectionate eyes. She smiled a bit awkwardly and walked over: "Your face doesn’t look well, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Nuannuan." Leng Ye’s hands on the wheelchair sides suddenly pulled her into a hug. Wen Nuan instinctively struggled, but he held her tighter, his voice hoarse, earnest, and excited:
"Nuannuan, you said you’d give me an answer today, and I’ve been waiting. I follow the doctor’s advice for treatment, I promise to work myself back to how I was before. If you really care for me, truly feel for me, marry me, will you? Don’t worry about my family’s approval, our Leng Family owes you a debt, everyone will compensate you. Nuannuan, if you leave, I truly won’t have the perseverance to continue, I’ll become useless..."
