CHAPTER 117: Shan Pan's Memories [7]

Wan Baiyun shrugged off Shan Pan's hand. "That's none of your business."

Shan Pan looked hurt. "You'd rather like those people than like me?"

Wan Baiyun stared at her, her face growing colder. "Yes, so please stay away from me."

Shan Pan sadly left, and Wan Baiyun watched her retreating figure. She looked up and murmured to herself, "How can someone like me be worthy of your affection? Your lover shouldn't be me."

Wan Baiyun thought that after rejecting Shan Pan this time, she would surely retract her feelings. After all, someone as rotten as herself was simply unworthy of Shan Pan.

However, to her surprise, Shan Pan persistently came to find her after a few days of sadness.

After rejecting her with a cold face several times, Wan Baiyun returned to the Wan family and found Wan Shiying to question her, "Did you make Shan Pan come to find me?"

Wan Shiying seemed to have anticipated her visit and nodded without any concealment. "Yes, so what? Do you think Pan Pan is better than those random women? Are you planning to change your ways?"

Wan Baiyun's body instantly went cold, and her heart sank. "So you did it on purpose. You knew that Shan Pan liked me, so you used her to bring me here."

"What do you mean by 'used'?" Wan Shiying was very displeased with Wan Baiyun's choice of words. "It's because Pan Pan likes you that I wanted to help you become better. I didn't use her or force her to come. You should understand that."

Wan Baiyun's face turned cold. "You're truly despicable. She's only seventeen, and you use her as your pawn."

Wan Shiying's face instantly darkened, and she was about to slap her, but to her surprise, this time Wan Baiyun didn't endure it forcefully. Instead, she took a step back and dodged the blow.

Wan Shiying withdrew her hand, angrily saying, "I've worked hard to raise you, and all I get in return is accusations of being despicable? Is this how you treat your own grandmother?"

Wan Baiyun was no longer at an age where she could be held hostage by the debt of upbringing. She sneered, "You raised me all for the sake of the Wan family's honor. Have you ever respected my right to make choices?"

"You're nothing but a hypocrite. You've manipulated me while claiming to be like a noble gentleman. If I had a choice, I would rather you have sent me to an orphanage after my mother's death. Even then, I would be happier than being by your side."

Wan Shiying was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Wan Baiyun continued coldly, "I finally understand why my mother never smiled when she was alive. The children you raised have never experienced love. Where would the smiles come from? We are nothing but puppets manipulated by you."

With those words, Wan Baiyun turned and walked away without looking back.

After leaving the Wan family, instead of going back to school, Wan Baiyun, in a rare move, arrived at the doorstep of the Shan family. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Shan Pan was on a day off today and happened to be at home. When she saw Wan Baiyun through her bedroom window, she immediately became excited and rushed to open the door.

"Yunyun, why are you here?"

Ever since Shan Pan confessed her feelings to Wan Baiyun, she had changed her address from "sister" to "Yunyun."

Wan Baiyun pursed her lips. "Didn't I tell you last time not to have any contact with my grandmother?"

"Why do you still listen to her and come to find me again and again? She's using you. She's not a good person. How many times do I have to say it?"

Shan Pan didn't expect that when Wan Baiyun came to see her, she would be met with such a scolding right from the start. She pouted with some grievances, "I came to find you not because of any promise to your grandmother. I also wanted to help you become better, so that's why I came to find you."

"What, so you think that by coming to me, I'll magically become better?" Wan Baiyun's expression was somewhat speechless. "Shan Pan, maybe you think too highly of yourself in my heart. Let me tell you, no matter what you do, I won't change in any way. It's better to give up on this hope sooner."

After saying that, Wan Baiyun shook her head and left directly.

Shan Pan stood in place, watching her retreating figure, feeling disheartened as she lowered her head.

From then on, Wan Baiyun's visits became fewer and fewer, and she didn't even know when the Shan family had moved to a new house.

Until Wan Baiyun successfully graduated from the Military Academy and joined the military, Shan's family held a celebration for Shan Pan's academic achievements, where she finally saw the grown-up Wan Baiyun.

At this time, Wan Baiyun was already 24 years old, dressed in a smart and handsome military uniform, appearing before her.

Shan Pan had already passed the Imperial Academy's medical entrance examination and was preparing for an eight-year medical study.

She had also grown into an adult, and upon seeing Wan Baiyun in this manner, she couldn't help but feel her heart race.

"Long time no see," Shan Pan looked at Wan Baiyun in front of her and then glanced at Wan Shiying not far away. "How is Yunyun doing in the military?"

Wan Baiyun looked at the fully opened Shan Pan, feeling a bit uneasy, and pretended to be calm as she said, "It's going fine."

"I heard that you entered the Imperial Academy with the highest score in the medical field. Congratulations, you are truly talented."

"Well, it's okay. I'm not as amazing as my elder sister." Shan Pan shook her head. "There's still a lot for me to learn."

Silence fell between the two of them. After a while, Shan Pan took the initiative to ask, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"

Wan Baiyun was taken aback and frowned. "You still haven't given up on me?"

Shan Pan shook her head. "No, I'm a loyal person, so I must win you over."

Wan Baiyun froze, looking at the determined gaze of Shan Pan in front of her, unsure of how to respond.

Shan Pan smiled, seeing Wan Baiyun's reaction, and lightly patted her arm when she heard Shan Cong calling her name from behind. She turned around to find Shan Cong.

"What's wrong? Do you think Pan Pan is great and you're starting to develop feelings?" Wan Shiying walked over, turned her head to look at her, and raised an eyebrow.

Wan Baiyun gave her a disdainful look. "Not at all, I was just thinking about something else."

"Is that so?" Wan Shiying raised an eyebrow. "I heard that you've been up to something behind the scenes recently."

"What do you mean?" Wan Baiyun pretended not to understand. "I'm just obediently following your instructions and being a dedicated soldier."

"Is that right?" Wan Shiying's lips curved into a smile, but her eyes showed no trace of humor. "That's for the best."

Wan Baiyun watched as Wan Shiying walked away, slowly retracting the smile on her face and gritting her teeth.

After the celebration ended, Shan Pan began pursuing Wan Baiyun again.

She would send her messages every day and occasionally wait for her during breaks.

Wan Baiyun remained unaffected as always, showing a cold indifference to these actions.

However, despite this, Shan Pan occasionally noticed her blushing ears, especially when Wan Baiyun stole a kiss from her when she wasn't paying attention. Wan Baiyun's ears turned almost transparent from the redness.

On Wan Baiyun's 25th birthday, Wan Shiying suddenly organized a birthday banquet for her.

Wan Baiyun was unwilling to participate and wore a sour expression throughout the event, clearly annoyed.

After enduring for a while, Wan Baiyun went upstairs.

Thinking that she was upset, Shan Pan followed her upstairs to find her. As they passed by Wan Shiying's study, they suddenly heard voices coming from inside.

"Did you put the medicine in?"

"Yes," the male voice, seemingly Wan Shiying's military secretary, replied. "It's already in Miss Wan's drink. She finished it and went upstairs."

"Good. Is your daughter ready?" Wan Shiying's tone was very cold.

"She's ready, she's on her way. She'll probably be here in about ten minutes." the male voice hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Commander, are we really going to do this? What if Ms. Wan doesn't like my daughter?"

"Isn't it up to your daughter's willingness? I actually wanted to find someone who satisfies her. That child from the Shan family is particularly good, but look at how she treats her. She's so sour-faced. Since that's the case, then she has no say in the matter." Wan Shiying's tone was confident.

Shan Pan frowned after listening and raised her hand, intending to knock on the door and question Wan Shiying about her actions.

However, she quickly put her hand back down. A crazy idea arose in her mind. If Wan Shiying's secretary's daughter was acceptable, why couldn't she be? She was already over 20 years old.

With this thought, Single Pan gritted her teeth and calculated in her mind. If she went to Wan Baiyun's room and the medication didn't take effect, she would call an ambulance. But if it did take effect, she would take advantage of the situation and sleep with her. No point in wasting the opportunity.

As she contemplated, Shan Pan stopped at the door of Wan Baiyun's room. After knocking on the door, she turned the doorknob and entered.

As soon as she pushed open the door, Shan Pan was hit by a strong, overpowering scent of rose-scented pheromones. Pheromones have a strong aggressive nature and high concentration. Her legs instantly went weak, and she stumbled and sat on the floor.

The glands on the back of her neck were slightly tingling from the stimulation of such a concentrated alpha pheromone, and she couldn't help but release her omega pheromone to cater to the other person.

Shan Pan instantly felt some regret. She propped herself up and opened the door to leave.

At that moment, the bathroom door suddenly slammed open, and a dripping wet Wan Baiyun stumbled out, appearing disoriented. She grabbed Shan Pan's wrist and locked the bedroom door.

Shan Pan was startled and leaned weakly against the door, looking at her with a hint of panic.

Wan Baiyun, with red eyes, stared at Single Pan and leaned down, forcefully kissing her lips, holding her tightly in her arms.

Overwhelmed by the intense sensation, Shan Pan was dazed and dragged onto the bed. In her last moment of clarity, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who I am?"

"Mm, Pan Pan, my Pan Pan." Wan Baiyun nodded, her voice husky.

Upon hearing the answer, Shan Pan closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Wan Baiyun's neck, silently accepting it.

.....

A night of chaos ensued.

When Shan Pan woke up again, her body ached as if she had been run over by a car, and the spot next to her was empty.

She covered her body, marked with numerous red marks, with the blanket and anxiously searched the room for any sign of Wan Baiyun.

After a moment, she heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, and Wan Baiyun came out wearing a bathrobe. She looked at Single Pan on the bed coldly, remaining silent for a while before finally speaking, "Did you drug me?"

Shan Pan, feeling anxious, averted her gaze and opened her mouth as if to explain, but ultimately couldn't find the words to say.

Wan Baiyun looked at her reaction, disappointment filling her eyes. After a moment, she sneered, "You truly are something. You've become just as despicable as my grandmother."

Those words pierced Shan Pan's heart, causing her eyes to slightly redden, but in the end, she remained silent, unable to offer any explanation.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Wan Baiyun's room.

"Both of you, come out quickly. I have something to say. Pan Pan's clothes are at the door." Wan Shiying's voice resounded outside.

Wan Baiyun glanced in the direction of the door, coldly withdrew her gaze, and once Wan Shiying left, she walked to the door, brought in the bag from outside, and threw it at Shan Pan.

She then removed her bathrobe, changed into her clothes right in front of Shan Pan, and turned to leave the room.

When Shan Pan re-entered the living room, she found Wan Baiyun and her own parents sitting there with serious expressions.

Seeing the three of them sitting upright in the living room, Shan Pan looked at Wan Baiyun, her heart growing even more nervous.

"Did you permanently mark Pan Pan last night?" As soon as Shan Pan emerged, Single Pan's father glared at Wan Baiyun through gritted teeth.

Wan Baiyun pursed her lips and nodded, "I was drugged yesterday, and my mind was unclear."

"But you were the one who did it." Shan Pan's father grew angry when she avoided directly answering his question. "You dare to do it but not admit it?"

Wan Shiying immediately interjected, "Let's go and handle the marriage registration with Pan Pan. It just so happens that Pan Pan turned of age two months ago, she's already 20 and can get married."

"Mr. Shan, don't worry, our family will take full responsibility."

After hearing this, Shan Pan turned her head to look at Wan Baiyun, wanting to see her reaction.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wan Shiying's words, Wan Baiyun opened her mouth to refuse.

But Wan Shiying quickly turned to her and asked, "According to Imperial law, if you permanently mark an Omega, it means you have to get married. Unless you want to go to jail, and even in jail, you'll still have to get married. It's your choice."

Wan Baiyun closed her mouth and glared fiercely at Wan Shiying, gritting her teeth, "You're truly despicable."

Wan Shiying ignored her comment, waved her hand, and signaled for the secretary to take her and Shan Pan to complete the marriage registration.

When Shan Pan saw the secretary, she felt as if he was blaming her for ruining his good plans. His gaze was complicated.

But now there was no time to think about all of this. Shan Pan went directly to the registration office with Wan Baiyun and completed the marriage registration.

And so, without a proposal or a wedding, she and Wan Baiyun became spouses.

After getting married, she moved into Wan Baiyun's residence. However, once she moved in, Wan Baiyun never returned home. She was either at the military base or at the bar. Even when she came back on leave, she reeked of alcohol, causing Shan Pan great concern.

A month later, Shan Pan came out of the hospital, holding the test report gently sighing. Thinking about Wan Baiyun having a day off today, she decided to drive directly to the entrance of the military base and wait for her.

At 7 PM, Wan Baiyun walked out from the gate, and Shan Pan got out of the car.

Seeing Shan Pan, Wan Baiyun's expression turned cold, and she spoke with a terrible attitude, "What are you doing here? Don't bother me. I'm going to the bar to drink."

"I'm pregnant." Single Pan grabbed her sleeve. "Four weeks."

Wan Baiyun's body froze, and she furrowed her brows, turning to look at Shan Pan.

Shan Pan handed her the test report, and Wan Baiyun glanced at it before snatching it away and tearing it apart. In a harsh tone, she said, "I told you to go back, didn't you hear me?"

Shan Pan watched her walk away, tears dripping down one by one. She crouched down, picking up the pieces, her tears dampening the words "four weeks pregnant."

.....

"It seems that your mother really doesn't welcome you, my baby." Shan Pan lay on the hospital bed, reminiscing about the past. She gently caressed her stomach, her expression filled with sadness.
