Chapter 69: Chapter 69 What More Could One Ask For in a Husband?
Long Chen looked at the excited Hu Xiaoyin, feeling a bit restless.
Hu Xiaoyin was alone at ho, without any support, feeling sowhat lonely, so it was understandable that she might have other ideas.
But Long Chen knew very clearly that he could not let himself get lost in that.
“Xiaoyin, no matter what, you are still a woman with a husband and children. No matter how poorly Wang Gui treats you, I can’t do sothing to hurt him. You should go to bed early.”
Long Chen stood up, resolutely opened the door.
“Do you despise
that much?”
Hu Xiaoyin was a bit heartbroken.
“It’s not that I despise you.” Long Chen said, “Indeed, you are very sexy, very touching, and I believe any normal man would be moved by you, but I am soone who lives by principles. If you were single, I wouldn’t mind creating so beautiful mories with you, but you’re not.”
After saying this, Long Chen left Hu Xiaoyin’s room.
That night, Long Chen made do with a night in the living room.
Early the next day, Hu Xiaoyin got up and made breakfast for Long Chen.
As Long Chen ate, Hu Xiaoyin propped her chin in her hand and watched him with a sort of dreamy look.
“If one day I get divorced and co to you, would you agree, just once?”
Hu Xiaoyin asked softly.
Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat, “Xiaoyin, you wouldn’t get divorced because of , would you?”
“Of course not.” Hu Xiaoyin said with a wry smile. “I couldn’t get along with Wang Gui in the first place, it has nothing to do with you. Stop changing the subject; I’m asking you a question.”
“If that opportunity arises, I think I would agree.” Long Chen responded.
He just didn’t want to make this woman too desperate, so he lied.
Long Chen knew very well that after he left, he probably would never see this woman again.
And hearing Long Chen’s words, Hu Xiaoyin was extrely excited.
After eating, Long Chen and Hu Xiaoyin went upstairs together to see Wang Ming.
Wang Ming had woken up, leaning against the bedhead, looking rather unwell.
“Xiaoyin, who is this?”
Wang Ming’s voice was hoarse, filled with confusion.
“Auntie, his na is Long Chen, he ca especially to see you.”
Hu Xiaoyin said.
“Grandma Wang, hello, my na is Long Chen, Long Hai is my grandfather.”
Long Chen softly said.
Hearing Long Chen introduce himself, Wang Ming was visibly shocked. “You… you are his grandson?”
“Yes, but not his biological grandson, because I was picked up and raised by him; my grandfather never married in his life.” Long Chen said.
At this, the dim light in Wang Ming’s eyes suddenly shone bright, “Then your grandfather, where is he now?”
“Grandfather has passed away.”
Long Chen said.
“Passed away? How co he left just like that?”
Wang Ming slowly closed her eyes, tears falling imdiately.
At this mont, Long Chen’s heart also trembled.
Hu Xiaoyin glanced at Long Chen, then, with determination, told Wang Ming.
“Auntie, Long Chen told
that his grandfather’s greatest love and concern in his life, was always you, from beginning to end.
Moreover, when he left you, it was because he was injured on the battlefield…”
Hu Xiaoyin told Wang Ming the whole truth.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ming suddenly laughed.
However, the tears mixed in with her laughter made the scene even more touching.
“How could I despise him? In this lifeti, knowing he never abandoned
in his heart is enough.”
In that second, Wang Ming seed to have let go, and everything about her seed to change.
“Grandma Wang, let
treat your illness. I think I might be able to help.”
Long Chen stated seriously.
“No need,” Wang Ming waved her hand, “What for? Now that I know he’s no longer in this world, living healthily has no aning for
either. Even if you forcibly heal , when you’re gone, I may just take dicine or jump off a cliff. Why bother?”
Hearing this, Long Chen abruptly fell silent, his heart aching with an indescribable pain.
For a man to be loved so adoringly by a woman in his life, what more could he ask for?
“Auntie, you still have us. Just listen to Long Chen, treat your illness well, we…”
“Xiaoyin, you are a good woman, Wang Gui doesn’t deserve you,” Wang Ming interrupted Hu Xiaoyin, took her hand, and said softly, “If you feel too miserable being with Wang Gui, go ahead and divorce him. Do whatever you want, but rember, never let the child suffer.”
“Auntie, I understand,” Xiaoyin replied, tears falling.
She had never expected her aunt to say such things to her.
“Good child, you’ve suffered. Don’t worry, your aunt won’t die anyti soon,” Wang Ming said, smiling as she patted the back of Hu Xiaoyin’s hand.
Then, Wang Ming turned to Long Chen and asked, “When you go back, could you speak a few words in front of your grandfather’s grave for ?”
“Of course I can.”
“Tell him to wait for
underground. I’ll probably join him soon. There’s so much I want to say to him face-to-face. Tell him not to rush into reincarnation,” Wang Ming said.
Long Chen, sowhat shaken, stood frozen in place.
“Did you get that?” Wang Ming asked.
“I… I got it,” Long Chen replied, his voice bitter.
“Mmm, I’m tired, I need to rest,” Wang Ming closed her eyes.
“Auntie, what do you feel like eating? I’ll cook it for you,” Hu Xiaoyin offered.
“How about so carrot and vermicelli stew?” Wang Ming requested.
Hu Xiaoyin was taken aback; as far as she rembered, her aunt had never eaten that before.
Long Chen, on the other hand, nearly burst into tears. It was his grandfather’s favorite dish and the one he used to like the least.
Soon after, Long Chen and Hu Xiaoyin went downstairs.
Hu Xiaoyin’s eyes were red, deeply moved.
Long Chen took a deep breath to calm his emotions and then added Hu Xiaoyin on WeChat.
He then transferred one hundred thousand yuan to Hu Xiaoyin.
Fearing Hu Xiaoyin would decline, Long Chen tricked her into lending him her phone, and he accepted the money on her behalf.
Hu Xiaoyin, realizing sothing was off, took her phone back and saw the transaction, panic-stricken, she said, “Why… why did you give
so much money? I can’t accept it.”
“Sister Xiaoyin, the child is still young and needs careful attention. Don’t bother with Wang Gui; he’s good for nothing. Just take good care of my daughter. And don’t forget, she recognized
as her godfather last night. Moreover, your auntie’s condition isn’t promising. If one day she suddenly passes away, it will be tough if you rely on Wang Gui for money. This money will ensure you won’t be in a difficult position. If you ever find yourself in trouble, rember to contact ,” Long Chen said softly.
“Why are you so good to ?” Hu Xiaoyin stared at Long Chen.
“Who let you be the mother of my daughter?” Long Chen joked.
“I wish I could be your woman.”
Hu Xiaoyin threw herself into Long Chen’s arms.
Long Chen patted her back and laughed, “Rember what I said, take good care of your auntie. I need to head back to Seven Star City. If you have ti, you can co and find
there.”
“I definitely will,” Hu Xiaoyin said with a resolute look in her eyes.
“Mmm, then, I’m leaving,” Long Chen smiled.
“Go ahead,” Hu Xiaoyin turned her back to him.
“Sister Xiaoyin, what are you doing? Why are you turning your back to ?” Long Chen asked, puzzled.
“I don’t want you to see
crying. I can’t bear to let you go, but I know you have to leave, so I can’t help it. I’m just going to turn my back on you…” Hu Xiaoyin’s voice trailed off, becoming incoherent.
“We’ve only known each other for one night, Sister Xiaoyin, why put yourself through this?” Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
“Maybe a single glance is enough for
to miss you for a lifeti. No… let’s not talk about this anymore. You should leave, if you don’t, I might cling on to you and not let you go,” Hu Xiaoyin said through gritted teeth.
