Thinking of these, Xu Moqian couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
On the other end of the phone, hearing his grandson only sigh without saying a word, Xu Hongzu had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
He couldn’t help but sigh himself and consoled, "Well, since there’s no chance, you might as well accept it and move on. I rember I also went through a rough ti back in the day and it took quite a while to co out of the shadows. I understand how you feel now."
It seed that they, grandfather and grandson, were both suffering from the sa type of sadness!
Hearing this, Xu Moqian didn’t feel comforted at all, but instead felt even worse.
He had held on to this relationship for so long, and now it had been sentenced to death. The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he beca!!
After another mont of silence, Xu Moqian, with a dejected face, said in a low voice, "Isn’t it, Grandpa, are you just letting give up like that?"
At these words, Xu Hongzu, who had just cald down, felt his anger flare up again.
He snorted coldly into the phone and said sternly, "What else? What do you want to do? You can’t beat him, you can’t think of any solutions, you don’t have a chance, since the outco is already certain, what can I do except console you a bit?"
Xu Moqian was scolded again and felt utterly dejected.
After a long while, he let out a sigh and said weakly, "All right, Grandpa, thanks for trying to comfort . I won’t take up any more of your ti. Go back to your research. I’ll just be sad for a little longer, hanging up now."
Xu Hongzu could tell that his grandson was really heartbroken this ti.
No matter what, it was still his own flesh and blood, so he softened his tone and offered a few more words of consolation.
"Don’t be too sad. I’ve been through it myself, and even though it was hard at the ti, I got over it later. So, you’d better cheer up a bit. Life is about looking forward."
"I get it, Grandpa. It’s just that I’m feeling a bit upset. I’ll work through it myself, hanging up now."
After that, Xu Moqian hung up the phone.
Having talked with his grandfather for a while, although the sadness in his heart hadn’t lessened, his mood had stabilized a lot compared to before.
After putting away his phone, Xu Moqian wandered alone in the hallway for a while before he couldn’t help himself and went to the hospital room where Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were staying.
He hesitated for a mont, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.
He didn’t even know what he was thinking, maybe it was to verify once more.
After all, he just couldn’t accept it and didn’t want to believe it!
However, the mont the door swung open, what Xu Moqian saw was Qiao Jing assisting Zhan Qipei out of the bathroom.
Qiao Jing’s fair, cream-like cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, and her expression was unusually shy, sothing rarely seen before.
Zhan Qipei, on the other hand, had his lips curved and was looking down at her with affectionate eyes that clearly contained a smile.
Seeing this scene, Xu Moqian, caught off guard, experienced the heart-wrenching feeling once again.
After all, anyone could tell what the two of them had just been up to.
His Sister Jing, after feeding by hand and scratching itches, had now personally assisted Zhan Qipei to the bathroom to relieve himself!!!
For a mont, Xu Moqian felt an icy chill in his heart.
Looking at it this way, Sister Jing had genuinely decided to be with Zhan Qipei, and there was no hope for him...
Hearing the noise, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei both turned to look.
Seeing Xu Moqian standing motionless at the door, Zhan Qipei’s brows showed a flicker of impatience, "What are you doing here again?"
He was thinking of taking advantage of this perfect atmosphere to do sothing with Qiao Jing, when this person had to co and disturb them, which was really annoying!
Xu Moqian ca back to his senses and suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Zhan Qipei’s collar with an unprecedented seriousness in his expression.
"Zhan Qipei, listen to carefully. Since Sister Jing has chosen you, I’ll magnanimously let you have her,"
"But if you ever dare to bully her, be bad to her, let her suffer grievances, or do anything that wrongs her, I won’t let you off the hook. Even if it costs my life, I will make you pay a painful price!"
Hearing these words, Qiao Jing was sowhat touched in her heart.
She had always known about the younger fourth’s affection for her.
But not all feelings happen to be mutual, liking each other just right.
Qiao Jing’s eyebrows slightly lifted as she looked at Xu Moqian, speaking indifferently, "Don’t worry, if he dares to wrong , I won’t let him off myself. You won’t need to lift a finger."
Zhan Qipei forcibly shook off Xu Moqian’s hand, ignoring his solemn warning. He just tightened his arm around Qiao Jing’s waist and began to speak with a magnetic voice.
"I also won’t give you the chance to intervene because I will absolutely never do anything to wrong you."
Watching Zhan Qipei tightly embracing Qiao Jing, Xu Moqian couldn’t stand it anymore and stord out once again.
...
After spending a few days recovering in the hospital, Zhan Qipei was discharged.
Upon leaving the hospital, he took Qiao Jing ho with him.
Knowing that the two were coming back, Su Manhan, Zhan Yao, and Zhan Nanqing had gathered early in the living room to welco them and help them settle back in.
"Didn’t they say they were on the way when they phoned just now? It’s almost half an hour, why haven’t they co back yet?"
Su Manhan sat on the sofa, eagerly anticipating, growing a bit impatient, and couldn’t help mumbling a few words.
Zhan Nanqing also stretched her neck, looking towards the door, "They should be here soon, maybe there’s traffic on the road."
Seeing the two of them so anxious, Zhan Yao spoke, "You two shouldn’t be in such a hurry. Since they said they are coming back, they will definitely return."
As soon as his voice fell, the sound of the door opening was heard, accompanied by a series of footsteps.
Hearing the noise, Su Manhan sprang up from the sofa, her expression sowhat excited, "They’re here, they’re back!"
As soon as Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei entered the living room, they were surrounded by Su Manhan and the others.
Su Manhan took Qiao Jing’s hand and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Qiao Jing, you’ve finally co back. I’ve been so worried these days. Even though I knew Qipei had found you and was with you, my heart couldn’t settle down until I saw you myself."
Qiao Jing tugged at her lips, smiling lightly in response, "I’m fine, sorry for making you all worry."
"As long as you’re okay, that’s good, that’s good."
After repeating herself, Su Manhan then asked with concern, "How have you been eating these days? Are you sleeping well? You’re pregnant now, which isn’t easy. All this back and forth must have been exhausting, right?"
Just thinking about Qiao Jing being pregnant and put through all this made her feel unbearably heartbroken!
"I’ve been quite alright..."
Before Qiao Jing could finish her sentence, Zhan Yao handed her a glass of warm water.
"Have a sip of water first before talking. You must be thirsty after rushing here from the hospital. Drink up, and I’ll go make you a cup of tea. The tea leaves we’ve picked these last few days have a pretty good flavor."
