Chapter 67: The Past

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Dark clouds gathered in the sky. During the rainy season, there would always be such weather. In the morning, the sun was still bright, but in the afternoon, it started to drizzle.

The day Li Ran and Gao Shan confirmed their relationship, it was also a rainy spring day.

The two of them had been friends for two years before they got together.

Li Ran asked Gao Shan, “With our relationship, I don’t think it’s suitable for us to be friends anymore. I’ve thought of two paths now. Either we take our relationship further, or we end it here.”

Gao Shan smiled. He seemed to be playing dumb, but he also seemed to have understood, but he didn’t dare to take the initiative to say it, so he asked mischievously, “Take what further?”

Li Ran was stunned. This answer was different from what she had expected, so she blushed and asked, “What do you think?!”

Gao Shan held Li Ran’s clenched fist. “Let’s try dating.”

Then, Li Ran pounced into his arms with her face as flushed as a ripe cherry.

However, apart from the romance between the two of them, there were too many external factors interfering in their relationship.

Li Ran had been lucid all this while, so she wasn’t a hopeless romantic.

On one hand, she knew that this man wasn’t the most suitable for her because of the difference in family background, but on the other hand, she was unwilling to let go. She kept pushing things back month after month.

Thus, month after month, year after year, after graduation, Gao Shan proposed to her.

Gao Shan knelt on one knee in the crowd and looked up at the shy girl in front of him as he said, “I know that you’re the flower of the high mountains, and I also know that I’m at the foot of the mountain and the distance from the top of the mountain, but I’m willing to work hard to get closer to you. I’ll climb to the top of the mountain step by step. I won’t give up even if I lack oxygen. Li Ran, stop being the flower of the high mountains. Be my oxygen, okay?”

Li Ran agreed.

Without hesitation, she fell for him hard.

In order to marry Gao Shan, she disregarded her family’s objections. Even though she was punished to kneel for an entire day, she still refused to relent.

Finally, her uncle, Li Ci, who doted on her the most and was only a few years older than her, felt sorry for her. He promised his sister that no matter if Li Ran was happy or not in the future, he would support his niece so that her life wouldn’t be that miserable.

Li Ran’s parents knew that they couldn’t stop this assertive girl, so they could only let them be together.

Later on, Gao Shan used Li Ran’s parents and Li Ci’s business acumen to do well in the business world on behalf of Li Ci.

The people in the business circle only knew that Gao Shan had gained power and had business acumen, but they didn’t know that Li Ci was behind him. One worked hard to come up with business strategies while the other earned money.

However, it was also because of this relationship that Gao Shan could never betray Li Ran. He would forever be inferior to Li Ran. As time passed, he could no longer tolerate it, so he began to rebel.

Just like a flame, Li Ran tried her best to suppress him. She made him burn with a small fire, but she didn’t extinguish him. Then, one day, he became a raging fire that burned Li Ran’s love for him.

Li Ran would never be able to have children because of her condition, which became the fuse that made Gao Shan betray Li Ran.

Chu Mei wasn’t Gao Shan’s only woman. It was just that Chu Mei was lucky enough to get pregnant with a child. Gao Shan had too many love affairs and many women were abandoned by Gao Shan because they didn’t get pregnant.

Li Ran had more or less guessed it, but Gao Shan was careful and didn’t leave any evidence behind. He was a knife that his uncle, Li Ci, had taught, so he knew when to restrain himself.

As for Li Ran, she didn’t gather evidence because she wanted to give their relationship one last shred of hope.

But after last night, Li Ran knew that there was no longer any hope between the two of them.

Now that she thought about everything that had happened in the past, it seemed like it was all planned.

Gao Shan didn’t love Li Ran that much. He didn’t love her as much as Li Ran loved him. He said so much and did so many sweet things only because he wanted to establish ties with the Li family.

Now that she thought about it, it was really ridiculous. When Gao Shan proposed, he didn’t say that he wanted to protect her. Instead, he came to beg her not to be the ‘flower of the high mountains’…

Li Ran finally gave up and didn’t give herself any excuses anymore.

Everything had signs, like whether he loved her or not. A man like him wasn’t worth it..
