1238 As If A Century 2
They left the ward after packing up.
On the way to the hospital entrance, Su Nan and Xi Xiaye walked together in front while Mu Yuchen silently followed behind. Lastly, behind them were the black-clothed bodyguards accompanying them.
Along the way, Mu Yuchen had his hands casually in his pockets as he quietly trailed behind while the two won in front chatted. The car was parked right outside. When they got into the car, Mr. Mu was made to sit in the front passenger seat while Xi Xiaye and Su Nan were in their own world at the back.
Even though he knew that they were as close as sisters, Mu Yuchen did not expect the two won not to be able to stop talking when they sat together. They chatted all the way until they reached their hotel, and still, they did not seem satisfied.
When they reached the hotel, the dishes were all prepared, so the three of them sat down right away.
“Xiaye, how long are you planning on staying over here? Isn’t the long holiday for the national celebration ending soon?” Su Nan said as she looked at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye took over the juice that Mu Yuchen served and put it before Su Nan as she said, “No rush. I finally have ti to get out, so I plan to go around. Since I knew you and Ruan Heng were here too, I decided to visit you as well. I heard the doctor ntion that Ruan Heng’s condition is looking up, thus I’m relieved.”
“Mmm, you should relax a little. Too many things have happened recently, and you’ve grown thin too. You look quite worn out. It’s good for you to go around. As for Ruan Heng, no matter what, we’ll just have to keep going. The doctor says that we can’t be too impatient with his condition either,” Su Nan said. Her tone could not help but be colored with disappointnt.
It had been quite a long ti now. Such arduous tornt could slowly erase all hope one had, but luckily right now, she seed to be able to see a hint of flickering starlight on the horizon from her dark, boundless corner of silence. It gave her a reason to keep holding on.
“Trust the doctor and Ruan Heng, Nan Nan. That’s all I can advise you. Since we were young, you’ve always had a positive outlook, so I trust that you’ll be able to get through this as well, right?” Xi Xiaye did not want to say too many consoling words.
When Su Nan heard that, she only breathed in and picked up her juice to drink a sip. “Don’t worry. I just miss Xiao Xi. I haven’t seen her for a long ti now. I only see her through the pictures my parents send . A while back, she even called out ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’...I really miss her...”
As Su Nan said this, her voice could not help but turn raspy.
“Xiao Xi’s doing really well, I visited her a while back. She’s beautiful like you. Her eyes are very much like Ruan Heng’s. They are dark brown and bright. She’ll definitely grow up to be a beautiful princess.” Xi Xiaye smiled as her fair hands reached out to cover Su Nan’s. “Perhaps, very soon, the two of you will be able to go ho.”
Su Nan then held her friend’s hands tightly. “Hopefully. No matter what, I really want to thank you, Xiaye, and Chairman Mu...The two of you have really put in a lot of effort for Ruan Heng and I. I don’t know how to repay you...”
“Alright, Nan Nan, you’ve beco more lancholic recently. We’re your friends. Compared to when you used to selflessly protect during high school, all that I’ve done can’t compare to any of it.”
No matter what, no one could change the fact that Su Nan and Ruan Heng had always protected her together, especially Su Nan who had always played the role of the older sister.
“Okay, let’s not talk about these anymore. Quickly eat sothing.”
“Mmm...”
...
After dinner, Mu Yuchen went straight back to the bedroom while Xi Xiaye and Su Nan steeped a pot of polo tea and sat together.
“Xiaye, how did you two bump into Han Yifeng?” Su Nan asked curiously.
Xi Xiaye bent over slightly and elegantly poured Su Nan a cup of tea. “He was in New York for work. Coincidentally, Mu Yuchen found out he was in town, so we had dinner with him.”
“Chairman Mu invited him personally? Aren’t you worried about what Chairman Mu was thinking?” When Su Nan heard that, she looked thoughtfully at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye sighed gently and rolled her eyes at her. “What thoughts could he have? I was happy! Hey, Su Nan, do I look like I can’t be trusted? I think when n deal with these things, it must be...He’s just not like that. In fact, he wants to turn his foes into friends, but he says that Han Yifeng doesn’t even qualify as his rival...”
Su Nan chuckled as she could not help but tease, “That’s true. Han Yifeng isn’t a na that deserves to appear beside Chairman Mu in my opinion. Only soone like Chairman Mu with that confidence of his will make people feel like he wasn’t being boastful.”
“You really think quite highly of him.” Xi Xiaye laughed helplessly.
“That’s how it is. Also, I heard about Gu Lingsha’s incident. What happened? Did she try to plot against you but it backlashed?”
Su Nan had heard so news about her from Father Su and Father Mu since Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan were quite close to the Su family. When they got together, they would talk about these things.
“As long as I don’t lose out, just let them settle the other matters on their own. Right now, as long as we’re doing just fine, all is good. If it weren’t for her, Ruan Heng wouldn’t be like this. Even though I know that this whole thing can’t be entirely blad on her, I just can’t help but be angry at her. I don’t need to...” Xi Xiaye did not conceal her resentnt and dissatisfaction with Gu Lingsha at all.
“Mmm, that’s true. It’s best if they lock her up a few years! Also, is Lingshi okay about her parents now?” Su Nan asked in concern.
“Gu Qiwu and Doris are divorced, but Gu Qiwu’s still soone with tricks up his sleeve. Doris...all the so-called love from before and loyalty sound like a preposterous joke right now.” A smile flashed across Xi Xiaye’s lips.
“I just pity Lingshi to have a father like him. I didn’t expect the world to be this small. Who would have thought that Lingshi and Gu Lingsha would be sisters?” Su Nan began to lant.
“Mmm, sotis this world is just that small. No one would have expected things to turn around the way that they did. I just hope that from now on, Lingshi won’t have to face too many disputes and that she won’t be like and Xi Xinyi. I hope that she’ll have a more peaceful life.”
At this point, as Xi Xiaye suddenly rembered the entire drama with Xi Xinyi from before, she felt even more frustrated and sorrowful...
