Chapter 86 Lu Xiyan agreed to get married after getting engaged to her

The clean, bright and extremely spacious room is dominated by warm white. Instruments for monitoring the patient's vital signs are placed on the white bedside, and red and green breathing lights flash with the patient's heartbeat.

The woman lying on the hospital bed looked very young and it was hard to guess her actual age. Even though her face was pale, one could tell that her facial features were very delicate, and her brows showed the gentleness and grace of a Jiangnan woman.

Lu Xiyan sat beside the bed and looked at her for a long time. The ward was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing, but could not hear the woman's breathing.

Because she had not seen the sun for many years, the woman's exposed arms were very white, and you could almost see the blue veins.

Lu Xiyan held the woman's arm in his hand, and gently touched her delicate skin with his fingertips, "Mom."

He spoke softly, only to realize his voice was hoarse.

"Can you really not hold on any longer?"

Lu Xiyan's eyes were very gentle, and he looked deeply into the woman's pale face. "You miss my dad, right? So you want to go find him quickly, right?"

He raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "You actually blame me, right? It's because I was too obsessed that my father met with an accident. And it's because I wanted to keep you so much that you couldn't catch up with my father, so you were anxious."

The man lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's slightly cold hand in his palm, which was slender and sickly white.

His eyes gradually turned red, "But I don't have a father anymore, I can't live without a mother anymore..."

Tears suddenly fell and landed on the back of the woman's hand.

He could hardly feel the woman's weak pulse.

"Can you..." He choked and lowered his head, "For me, try to hold on..."

He held the woman's hand tightly and said, "Why, the person I desperately want to keep, I always can't keep him..."

"Your mother is worried about you."

Lu Lixiao's voice suddenly sounded at the door. Lu Xiyan lowered his head to wipe away his tears. When he looked up, his expression had returned to his usual cold expression.

"Xi Yan?"

Cheng Wanwan followed Lu Lixiao in and hurried to Lu Xiyan's side. She looked at the woman on the bed anxiously, "How is Auntie?"

Lu Xiyan turned to look at her, his eyes light, "Why are you here?"

"Wanwan came this afternoon." Lu Lixiao came in. "Wanwan cares about an old man like me. She came to have dinner with me this afternoon. Your mother had some problems just now, but I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to worry. I just learned that your mother's condition is unstable, so I hurried to see her."

"Grandpa Lu, you are so mean. How could you hide something from me when Auntie has something wrong?" Cheng Wanwan looked worried and blamed her. She looked up at Lu Xiyan and said, "Xiyan is usually too busy. I should pay more attention to Auntie."

She stepped forward, quickly checked the condition of the woman on the bed, and tucked the quilt in. "Luckily, Auntie is fine. I was almost scared to death just now."

"Wanwan, your health is not good to begin with. If anything happens to you out of worry, your parents will find trouble with me." Lu Lixiao said with a smile, and turned to look at Lu Xiyan, "Xiyan, your mother is still worried about you. The doctor also said that she is not completely unable to hear the outside world now. In my opinion..."

He looked at Cheng Wanwan for two seconds, then landed on Lu Xiyan, "After you and Wanwan get engaged, get married as soon as possible to make your mother happy. Maybe she'll wake up faster if she's happy."

Lu Xiyan's eyes narrowed, and the coldness in his body became even more intense.

Cheng Wanwan glanced at him and immediately said to Lu Lixiao, "Grandpa Lu, there's no rush for this."

"The sooner the better." Lu Lixiao looked at Lu Xiyan with a kind face. "Xiyan, it seems that your parents' wish was for you to start a family and build a career. Your father is gone now, so while your mother can still hear you, she can rest assured. You and Wanwan are not young anymore. Getting married after getting engaged will also fulfill your parents' wish."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Xiu behind him, and Ji Xiu took out a business card and handed it to Cheng Wanwan.

"This is a dress designer your mother loved." Lu Lixiao said, "You can ask her to design your and Wanwan's engagement dresses. Let's go try them on tomorrow, the weekend. What do you think, Xiyan?"

Cheng Wanwan held the business card in her hand and said, "Grandpa Lu, we——"

"Can."

Afraid that Lu Xiyan would think she had other thoughts, she was just about to pretend to politely reject the old man's proposal in front of him, but she didn't expect the man next to her to speak in a low voice. Two words made her stunned for a moment.

She looked up at Lu Xiyan and heard him say, "Since grandpa has made arrangements, then do as grandpa says."

Cheng Wanwan thought she had misheard. Xiyan agreed to go with her to try on the engagement dress tomorrow?

She and Lu Xiyan are about to get engaged and get married!

"Then let's do it." Lu Lixiao smiled with relief and waved to Lu Xiyan, "Xiyan, come with me to the study."

The two figures disappeared at the door, and Cheng Wanwan stood there, holding the business card tightly in her hand.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes fell on the woman on the hospital bed.

"Auntie, it seems that talking to you is quite useful. I want to thank you for bringing Xiyan and I's wedding one step closer. Otherwise, I was really afraid that An Ning's appearance would make things more complicated."

She bent down gently, leaned close to the woman's ear, and whispered, "Don't worry, I will serve you tea on the day Xi Yan and I get married."

......

On weekend mornings, the coffee shops in the city center are crowded with people.

When An Ning arrived at the agreed place, she saw a familiar figure inside the store through the glass door.

She quickly pushed the door open and went in, "Sister Chen?"

The middle-aged woman was browsing her phone. When she heard the voice, she turned around and was stunned for two seconds when she saw the woman's face behind her. Then she asked in surprise, "An Ning?"

"Sister Chen, long time no see."

The landlord, Sister Chen, has hardly changed from a few years ago. When An Ning saw her, she was reminded of the first time she rented a house.

At that time, she was in such a difficult situation that all the money she had was not enough to pay for one month's rent. Fortunately, Sister Chen was a very kind person. Not only did she reduce her rent, she also enthusiastically sent her a lot of necessities. She treated her like her own sister and gave her a lot of care and a sense of security.

Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her, An Ning's eyes turned red.

The landlord, Sister Chen, is also a sentimental person. Tears welled up in her eyes and they gave each other a big hug.

"This was left behind by your best friend when she moved away."

The two sat down face to face, and Sister Chen handed her an envelope. There was no zip code or address on it, just a white envelope.

"She said that if you come back to see her one day, she'll give this to you," Sister Chen said. "If you don't come back, this thing won't matter. I don't know what's inside, and I don't dare throw it away. Anyway, I'm not moving or leaving Jinghai, so I put this envelope away, thinking that if you come back someday, I can give it to you."

An Ning took the envelope, it was very thin.

I pinched the envelope lightly with my fingertips. It didn't look like any kind of ID card.

She quickly tore open the envelope and opened it.

There was no divorce certificate, only a note.
