Chapter 219 I'm Not Getting Married

Lin Xiyin got out of the car, greeted Yan Chengyu, and after a few words, pulled Qu Jianhang aside and said, "Uncle Yan, I'm entrusting my mother to you."

"Don't worry." Yan Chengyu smiled. "I'll be off tomorrow."

Qu Jianhang glanced at him.

Lin Xiyin was also a little surprised: "That must have been tough. You should get some rest. By the way, Uncle Yan, my mom... has something to tell you."

After Lin Xiyin left, Yan Chengyu put his arm around her shoulder and walked inside: "Aren't you cold? I see you're not wearing much."

Qu Jianhang said, "Am I supposed to go out wrapped in a blanket? I'm already wearing so many clothes."

"Where is there too much?" Yan Chengyu's large hand quietly landed on her waist: "A thin layer."

Qu Jianhang wasn't cold at all, but Yan Chengyu always paid attention to her clothes just like an old lady, and even got angry because she didn't wear long johns.

Qu Jianhang was quite helpless.

Once inside, Yan Chengyu saw her sitting on the sofa. He squatted down beside her and pulled her trouser legs up a bit: "Where are your long johns?"

Qu Jianhang was both amused and exasperated: "I went straight from my house to the underground station and got on the bus. It's only a few steps from here, it's really not cold."

"My ankles are cold."

Qu Jianhang reached out and pulled him: "Don't worry about that, just sit down."

Yan Chengyu sat down next to her, then lifted her legs and placed them on his own lap, and then held her ankles in his palms.

A wave of warmth immediately enveloped her.

It's very comfortable.

Qu Jianhang tilted his head to look at him: "Aren't you happy that I came over?"

Yan Chengyu was never one to show his emotions, but it was clear that he was very happy at this moment.

He nodded: "Even if you don't come, I'll still come to see you tomorrow."

"Didn't I say we couldn't meet?"

Yan Chengyu said, "I'll see him when I get there."

"They're really shameless," Qu Jianhang said. "Aren't they afraid the kids will laugh at them?"

"Isn't this how I used to pursue you?" Yan Chengyu said. "There's nothing shameful about pursuing someone I like. Besides, I don't think Ruan Ruan would laugh at me."

"He's even become sarcastic now."

"Then let's not talk about it." Yan Chengyu looked at her: "Why did you suddenly come over? Ruan Ruan said she had something to do, what is it?"

"Yan Chengyu," Qu Jianhang buried his face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sick."

Yan Chengyu's body trembled.

He then pushed Qu Jianhang forward, gripping her shoulders with both hands: "What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly?"

Whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

Qu Jianhang had no choice but to recount the whole story.

After he finished speaking, the room remained quiet for a long time.

It lasted about two minutes.

Qu Jianhang felt guilty and didn't dare to look up at him.

Finally, unable to resist, she raised her eyes and saw Yan Chengyu staring at her.

Qu Jianhang hurriedly looked away: "Well, actually I was just trying to help you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Chengyu pulled her to her feet.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Chengyu took out his phone as he walked: "To the hospital."

"What's wrong with you!" Qu Jianhang grabbed him. "I already told you I'm fine. The test results won't be out for two days, and by then..."

"You're sick and you're still running around everywhere! You didn't even get a checkup and dared to stay abroad for so long! Now another month has passed, Qu Jianhang, do you even care about your health?!"

Qu Jianhang was initially feeling guilty, but after hearing him yell like that, he couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

"Whatever others say about me is fine, but what right do you have? We're not family, and we're not married. When I said we should break up, wasn't I doing it for your sake? Your last wife died. If I were with you and got a terminal illness, I'd die too. Have you thought about what people would say? They'd say you're a jinx, that you're unlucky, that you..."

"Shut up!" Yan Chengyu was furious. "You did something wrong, and you still think you're right? You're doing this for my own good? You're thinking of me? Should I thank you?"

He was so angry that he ripped open his collar, took two deep breaths, and said, "Let's go to the hospital first. As for the rest... I'll settle the score with you later!"

"I'm not going!"

Qu Jianhang broke free from his hand and sat back down on the sofa.

Yan Chengyu walked back helplessly and stood in front of her: "Can you please stop throwing a tantrum at a time like this?"

“I’m in good health,” Qu Jianhang said. “Besides, the results won’t be out for another two days. What would I do at the hospital now?”

“I’ll only feel at ease if you stay in the hospital in your current condition.” Yan Chengyu reached out his hand: “I’ll have someone arrange a ward for you. Don’t worry, it’s a very nice ward, just as comfortable as home.”

"No matter how good the hospital is, it can't be as comfortable as home." Qu Jianhang stood up and hugged his arm. "Besides, it's been so long, don't you miss me?"

It took Yan Chengyu a few seconds to understand what she meant.

He was genuinely amused and exasperated: "Qu Jianhang! What kind of time is this to be thinking about such things!"

"Otherwise, if the results come back and I really have to be hospitalized, I won't be able to..." She turned around and hugged his waist: "Yan Chengyu, I missed you, don't you miss me?"

Yan Chengyu sneered: "Miss me? If you miss me, then break up with me!"

"Wasn't that...a last resort?" Qu Jianhang said, "I've figured it out. At worst, it's just death, there's nothing to be afraid of..."

"Shut up!" Yan Chengyu took out his phone: "Send me all the previous test results."

Qu Jianhang had no choice but to send it to him.

Yan Chengyu then made a phone call and gave a few instructions.

A few minutes later, his phone rang.

He is the most well-known respiratory specialist in the province.

Yan Chengyu chatted with the other end for a while before hanging up.

He said, "I'll take you to see him tomorrow."

"Really, you don't need to..."

Qu Jianhang saw the look in his eyes and immediately became obedient.

She nestled on the sofa, very unhappy.

Yan Chengyu sat down beside her without saying a word, simply holding her tightly in his arms.

To lose something and then regain it is clearly the greatest happiness.

But then... Qu Jianhang fell ill.

Yan Chengyu felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

When the two were sleeping, Qu Jianhang snuggled against him.

In front of outsiders, she presents herself as a strong, independent woman.

Efficient, assertive, and decisive.

She just happens to like to snuggle up in Yan Chengyu's arms.

Yan Chengyu couldn't stand this the most.

Men who are usually calm, self-disciplined, and restrained are always easily defeated by her seduction.

But tonight, no matter how Qu Jianhang tried to signal or provoke him, he remained unmoved.

If she hadn't noticed his physical reaction, Qu Jianhang would have truly believed that after more than a month apart, Yan Chengyu had seen through the illusions of the world and become detached from worldly desires.

"Aren't you uncomfortable holding it in?" Qu Jianhang nuzzled against him. "Do you want me to be even more proactive?"

Yan Chengyu closed his eyes and held her close, saying, "Go to sleep!"

"The spring night is too short..."

Yan Chengyu opened his eyes and looked at her: "Are you still making a fuss? If you keep making a fuss, go to sleep yourself. I'm going to sleep on the sofa!"

"What are you doing..." Qu Jianhang said unhappily, "Maybe the day after tomorrow I'll have to go to the hospital for surgery, be hospitalized, undergo chemotherapy, and then die, never to have another chance to enjoy this world..."

Yan Chengyu covered her mouth.

Qu Jianhang pulled his hand down and looked at his red eyes.

"I'm telling the truth..."

Yan Chengyu stared at her: "Who said that you can't have sex while hospitalized for chemotherapy?"

Qu Jianhang looked at him and said, "You beast! You won't even let me go when I'm undergoing chemotherapy."

Yan Chengyu pulled her into his arms: "Go to sleep, we have things to do tomorrow."

"What's up?"

"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"ah?"

Qu Jianhang struggled to lift his head and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"You don't even know what that means? How did you earn your billions?"

"So, Yan Chengyu, you're trying to take advantage of me? Let me tell you, not a chance!"

"Hanghang, marry me."

The proposal came unexpectedly.

Like a sharp arrow, it shot into Qu Jianhang's heart with a whoosh.

She nestled into his arms, not wanting him to see her reddened eyes.

She said, "You wish! You propose with nothing and expect me to say yes? Dream on!"

Yan Chengyu lifted her up, and the two of them, one above the other, looked at each other.

"What are you doing?" Qu Jianhang sniffed. "Don't you dare bully me, or I'll cry!"

"How could you bear to..." Yan Chengyu looked at her, tears streaming down his face. "How could you bear to break up with me? Don't you know my heart aches too? If I were sick, if I were dying, and I had to break up with you, how would you feel?"

"Don't cry..."

This was the first time I saw Yan Chengyu shed tears.

Qu Jianhang was a little flustered: "Oh dear, you're a grown man... but I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Qu Jianhang, how cruel you are!"

Yan Chengyu turned his face away, not wanting to look at her.

Qu Jianhang turned his face towards him and kissed away his tears: "I've already said I was wrong, I apologize, can't you forgive me?"

"Then if I get sick, I'll quickly..."

"Shut up." Qu Jianhang pinched his thin lips: "If you say that again, I'll really get angry. We either make up now, or I'm leaving right now."

Yan Chengyu remained silent.

Qu Jianhang kept his word and got up to leave.

Yan Chengyu pulled her down.

Qu Jianhang lay on top of him again.

"What am I supposed to do with you?" Yan Chengyu gritted his teeth. "All you ever do is manipulate me!"

"Who can handle Secretary Yan?" Qu Jianhang said with a smile. "Speaking of which, if I really need treatment, I'll lose my hair and look terrible. So, while I'm still attractive, Yan Chengyu, please take care of me..."

Yan Chengyu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down: "Be a good boy. If you behave, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and tomorrow... I'll pamper you."

"you!"

Qu Jianhang ignored everything and lowered her head to kiss him.

"I don't care, I just want it today..."

Yan Chengyu cupped her face, creating some distance between them.

He asked, "Can we go get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"

Qu Jianhang said, "How can we be so hasty... Besides, I didn't bring any identification."

"It's okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow, and then we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"This is such a big matter, I need to discuss it with my parents and Ruan Ruan..."

"Okay, I'll call Uncle, Aunt, and Ruan Ruan first thing tomorrow morning. I'm sure they won't object. Anything else?"

"It's just..." Qu Jianhang reluctantly came up with another reason: "I don't have any suitable clothes."

"We'll go buy it tomorrow," Yan Chengyu said. "We'll get the documents, make phone calls, buy clothes in the morning, and pick up the certificate in the afternoon. We'll take care of anything else in the morning."

Qu Jianhang slapped him on the chest: "I'm not getting married!"
