”Madame doesn't need to care about anyone's opinion. The only person you need to care about in this life is me.”
The soft, soft voice above him stirred the silence of the night.
Lu Qinan looked at him for a good while, her still handsome face as beautiful as ever, and she seemed to be without emotions. She only looked at her eyes, which were filled with dense emotions.
She broke into a smile, her expression calm. ”Go and take a bath, Fourth Uncle.”
”Well, why is Madame so impatient?”
The man's lips moved closer and his breath lingered on the side of her face, making it difficult to breathe.
Lu Qinan fell backwards from the pressure, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist. The two were practically pressed together, and she could even feel the blood vessels and heart muscle in his body …
Her small hand pushed him away, landing on his chest. ”Fourth Uncle... I'm sleepy. ”
Under the dim light, the man's face was filled with emotions. It was as if he was truly moved. He stared at her and refused to let her go. His thin lips landed on her neck and he wanted to peck her a few times before asking in a hoarse voice, ”Are you really tired?”
Lu Qinan moaned twice, pitifully covered her mouth and yawned. Her tender eyes were completely watery, and her voice was soft and thin, entering his ears, ”Otherwise, what time are you looking for?”
The needle on the watch pointed to the middle.
The man frowned and sighed with some vexation. Unresigned, he gave her a kiss on her lips before being pushed away. ”Hurry up and go take a bath.”
Reluctantly, he entered the bathroom. Gu Zhongshen's expression became serious in an instant, and the flowers started to rain down. Hot water and mist appeared at the same time, covering his hearing and breathing.
As he was drenched, his black eyes were tightly shut. His thoughts were still in disarray, but he could not help but think of the old man's earlier reply.
Speaking of which, he had never been curious why the Old Master wanted Heroic Martial to be engaged to An An for no reason at all.
Gu Zhongshen opened his eyes.
Even now, the Lu family still could not match up with the Gu family. As for the Lu Wencheng from twenty odd years ago, he was just a small fry who had just left the Gu's.
The next day, Gu’s Yard finally quieted down. No one came to cause trouble, and neither did they panic.
Lu Qinan went to the hospital in the afternoon and asked the butler to take care of the two children.
On the eighth floor of the Renhe Hospital, Lu Qinan, who had stayed here for a while, was rather familiar with the place. She headed straight to the VIP building, with the sickroom close to her.
”Knock knock knock.”
”Enter.”
The old man's voice came from inside, he seemed to still be weak, and Lu Qinan carried the things in, facing the old face.
However, after a day and a night, the previously energetic old man was now lying on his bed, dispirited. There was a plate of fruits in front of him. He took a small fork and poked it twice, but his fingers kept trembling.
She could just make out Parkinson.
There was a sound from the bathroom. The old lady finished washing the fruits and came out, ”An An is here, nice, help your dad peel an apple. That plate is almost finished.”
She obediently sat down and used her tender white fingers to firmly cut a long strip of skin with the fruit knife.
”An An is really nimble. Now that I think about it, taking care of food by yourself must be very tiring.”
Lu Qinan shook his head and did not say a word.
Fourth Uncle was still working at the company at this time and the two children were preparing to leave school. She was called over by the old lady and always had something to say.
After a while, the apple was sliced and placed in a small piece on the plate. The old lady gave the old man a beautiful fork to eat.
As he spoke, he casually said, ”So many things happened yesterday that I was unable to take care of you. An An, you wouldn't blame your mother, right? ”
”How could that be?”
The old lady relaxed a little, looked at the old man, and tried to sound him out, ”Actually, you were also a victim in these matters, but your aunt, I, and the old man all thought the same yesterday.” You know the situation, continuing is not an option, so you and Little Four... Let's split up. ”
Lu Qinan stopped picking the apple, lowered his eyes and bit his lips.
”I know that you like him in your heart, and I also know that Little Four likes you. He was raised by me, and I know his personality very well. If I was able to anger your dad to the point that he became ill yesterday, there's no telling what might happen another day. ”
”Yes, he loves you from the bottom of his heart. He was deeply wounded by Qin Xuanman in the past, and there's not a single girl by his side in the past few years. It wasn't easy for him to meet you and marry a girl who's ten years younger than him.
”You don't know, he didn't mention it to us. He only secretly discussed it with the old man and asked him to test you in the hospital. Most importantly, I finally saw Little Four at home, also smiling at others. Occasionally, when he was in a daze, he would unconsciously smile … ”
”An An, I have seen Xiao Si's feelings. But there was nothing that could be done! I can't just stand by and watch him... Because this sort of thing, which is not accepted by others, is ruined! ”
The tip of Lu Qinan's nose twitched as his eyes turned red.
She bit down on her lower lip until it was almost white. Her thin white fingers were tightly entwined as she forcefully sniffed. ”But mother …”
”No buts!”
