War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 291: Everything He Did Was for You

Xue Xianglan felt very restless, finding it hard to breathe in the hospital room, so she decisively turned and left the room.

She leaned against the white wall of the corridor, looking down at the floor.

The few men in the hospital room exchanged glances, remaining silent.

The matters between them are things no one else can intervene in; they can only resolve it themselves.

Who doesn’t go through some ups and downs in love? If you get through it, you’re lucky; if not, it’s fate.

Tang Yuxiu and You Shuyang, seeing that Xiang Linghao was fine, went back to the company.

Tang Mubei felt he wasn’t needed there either, so he left.

Xue Jiarui stood in the corridor outside, having looked at Xue Xianglan, pondering whether he should say certain things to her.

Xue Xianglan slightly bowed her head, knowing without looking what expression Xue Jiarui had.

"If you have something to say, then just say it. There’s no need to hold back, since he’s in a coma. I want to hear what you’ll say."

Xue Jiarui, hearing Xue Xianglan’s words, seemed to have gotten approval, and began to speak like pouring beans out of a sack.

"Sister, in the seven years since you separated from Brother Hao, fainting in the lab is something that’s happened far too many times to count."

Xue Xianglan looked up, staring at him, "What do you mean?"

Xue Jiarui sighed and said, "Sister, you don’t know how hard Brother Hao has worked these years. Besides wanting to rise by his own ability, the most of it was so that if you still love him once he’s capable, he would never leave you again. By then, he could give you the best life, and Dad wouldn’t object to you two. Even if you no longer love him, with his capabilities, as long as someone treats you poorly, he can ensure they won’t have it easy."

Xue Jiarui, feeling low, thought of Xiang Linghao’s life over the years and felt distressed.

"He has worked so hard and desperately, all for you. The first time I learned he fainted was because he studied medicine non-stop for seven days and nights without sleep. He forced himself to learn quickly and memorize everything, then fell unconscious for a day before waking. Later, every month or three, he faints, either in his room, the hospital, or the lab."

"In the beginning, we all thought he just wanted to learn everything quickly, but later, we heard him call your name while in a coma, and we realized that the biggest reason for his fainting was because he missed you too much."

"He misses you so much, yet he doesn’t know how to control his longing, doesn’t know how to sleep. Unable to sleep, he keeps studying, working, and experimenting, using those things to numb himself, to keep himself busy, not leaving time to think about you. But when he closes his eyes, he can’t help but think of you, so he has no choice but to keep going."

"Continuing intense work and mental exertion kept him under extreme stress, causing him to faint repeatedly. For the first two years, he could only sleep well during such comas."

Xue Jiarui narrated calmly. At that time, as they watched him, they all felt pity and heartache but were helpless, unable to do anything about it.

He continued, "Until the third year, when he started achieving success, he was very happy. At the celebration banquet, he got extremely drunk and unconscious but kept calling your name nonstop, then later fell asleep. After that, his episodes of fainting due to work or experiments decreased. We thought he was gradually letting go, but later realized that when he couldn’t sleep, he drank alcohol, a lot of alcohol, until he was drunk enough to sleep."

"He said he found such a way to stop thinking of you and to sleep quietly. Once, he drank to the point of gastric bleeding and was sent to the hospital. At our insistence, he reluctantly agreed to drink less afterward, and we suggested he try sleeping pills."

"Initially, we thought we could be at ease, but he once consumed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. Were he not staying in the hospital and had his stomach pumped in time, he probably would have died."

"Later, we had no other option but to request his teacher to develop a sleeping pill for him, one that would minimize harm to his body and help him sleep."

"The drug worked initially, and he used it sporadically for a year before it lost effect. However, he hid it from us until one day, he again passed out in the lab, and we found out."

"In the end, there was nothing else we could do but let him be. After four years, we thought he would somewhat forget you, but his longing for you seemingly worsened year by year. Many times, I wanted to come back and drag you to him to reconcile, but he forbade it, absolutely forbade it. He said if you didn’t want to see him, he wouldn’t appear before you to disturb your life."

Xue Jiarui’s eyes gradually reddened, "Sister, Brother Hao loves you so much. In this world, no one loves you more than he does. Even a slight look or move from you, he’s very sensitive about, fearing you’ll reject him, dislike him. He deeply fears causing you any trouble, not wanting even the slightest harm to come to you, and not wanting to give anyone a chance to hurt you. He cares about you so deeply."

"Sister, even if you no longer like him at all now, I beg you, don’t say anything hurtful to him. He loves you so much, that any slight dissatisfaction on your part, he would magnify it and blame himself."

"Everything he’s done is for you."

It was Xue Jiarui’s first time talking so seriously, making Xue Xianglan wonder if this was still her typically idle brother.

However, listening to his words, she should have felt sad, heartbroken, but why does she feel nothing?

Her mind was a blank, Xue Jiarui’s last words kept echoing in her ears.

"Everything he’s done is for you."

Yes, back then, he let go because he didn’t want her to suffer with him, having nothing.

He accepted his father’s terms to leave because he wanted to achieve success and provide her with the best life in the future.

The accomplishments he had today were due to his uncontrollable longing for her, desperately studying, experimenting.

He worked several times harder than anyone else, and now his achievements are well-deserved.

He has already become so exceptional; he doesn’t need to look at anyone else’s face, he could live as he pleases.

Yet, he still loves her dearly, caring for her feelings everywhere, using his way to always protect her, without ever saying it.

She resented him for hiding his feelings for her in his heart, being indecisive, repeatedly killing their chances to start anew.

But she never knew that such silence was the best love he could give her.

Xiang Linghao, how can you be so foolish?
