Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 1141: Farewell Dream
Just as Gu Huan was about to speak, Bai Yi's phone rang.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
"Something happened at the bureau, I have to go." Bai Yi stood up hurriedly.
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work."
"Waiter, pay the bill." Bai Yi did not forget to pay the bill before leaving, which won Gu Huan's favor again.
Tu Ran went to the hospital to see Xie Nancheng in the evening.
It’s much quieter today. Shao Zining didn’t come, and neither did Xu Qianqian.
When Tu Ran pushed the door open, Xie Nancheng was in a remote meeting.
When he saw her come in, his expression immediately softened.
"Please sit down first."
"I'll be done soon."
In order not to disturb him, Tu Ran just nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, Xie Nancheng closed his notebook.
"Where's my meal, wife?"
"I didn't come from Muyunzhai."
“That’s why I didn’t bring any food.”
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it later," she said.
"Why would you be needed for such a small matter?" Xie Nancheng beckoned.
"Come, give me a hug first."
"Why are you hugging me? Your injury hasn't healed yet, stop messing around." Tu Ran frowned.
"It's because I haven't recovered yet that I dare not have any thoughts. Come on, give me a hug so I can have fun."
Boss Xie was seriously injured this time and narrowly escaped death.
But his mood was getting better and better.
Seeing Xie Yao, the stray dog, running away.
That bad bitch Lin Siyao is also dead.
There shouldn't be anyone causing trouble right now.
Without those annoying guys, I can take my wife back home with peace of mind.
Tu Ran walked to the bedside.
Before he could say anything, Xie Nancheng gave him a bear hug.
“It smells so good.”
"Wife."
"You have a very pleasant smell, and it makes me feel drunk the moment I smell it."
"Once I get into it, I can't control myself."
"I can't help but think..."
"Stop." Tu Ran's cheeks flushed slightly. She was most afraid that he would be indecent.
"Let me tell you something serious."
"I'm going to Baiyun Temple tomorrow."
"The journey is long, and we may not be able to return on the same day."
"No problem." Xie Nancheng agreed readily.
"Gu Xixing and I will go together." Tu Ran added.
"That won't do."
"I take back what I just said. Absolutely not."
"Why are you so petty?" Tu Ran sighed.
"I've always been like this. Not to mention Gu Xixing, any man other than me is unacceptable."
"Wife, don't worry."
"When I'm discharged from the hospital in a few days, I'll go with you."
Xie Nancheng didn't take this matter seriously.
"No, I can't wait any longer."
"Gu Xixing..."
"I have cancer, and it has spread."
Xie Nancheng was shocked.
He put away his previous playfulness and withdrew his hands from holding Tu Ran's slender waist.
"Is this true?"
"Can I lie about this?" Tu Ran looked at him.
In fact, Xie Nancheng knew in his heart that Tu Ran would never joke about such things.
"When did it happen?"
"I just found out too. Gu Xixing's sister, Gu Huan, told me. I met him in person today, and he admitted it."
"No wonder that guy hasn't been active recently." Although he is a love rival, Xie Nancheng did not gloat over his misfortune.
Gu Xixing is about the same age as him, in his twenties, which is the prime of his youth.
How did you get this disease?
Moreover, the old man of the Gu family passed away less than a year ago. This Gu family is really unlucky.
"What did he say?"
"Are you planning on having surgery?"
"He doesn't want to have surgery or chemotherapy," said Tu Ran.
"What's that for? Waiting to die?"
"His condition is somewhat serious. Chemotherapy may prolong his survival, but the extended life will not have the quality of life. For him, perhaps he would rather live a decent life," Tu Ran explained.
"Are there any targeted drugs that I can take?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"He said no, but I want to try to see if I can prepare it...but it takes time for me to prepare targeted drugs, and I have no clinical experience." Tu Ran was worried. She had no confidence in herself this time.
If the cancer is in the early or middle stages, it may not be a big problem.
But now it is in the middle and late stages and has spread to other places.
This is not good...
"Then what's the point of taking him to Baiyun Temple?"
"Pray to gods and Buddhas?" Xie Nancheng asked.
Tu Ran shook his head, "I'm not that superstitious."
"I just heard that Master Sanbao has returned from his wandering, and I want to meet him."
"Settle Lin Siyao's soul."
"I also want Master Sanbao to see Gu Xixing's condition."
"Okay, in that case, I'll agree to your request reluctantly." Hearing that it was a serious matter, the boss stopped beating around and agreed to let Tu Ran go to Baiyun Temple.
"Well, you should have a good rest these two days."
"The medicine I gave you worked very well. Your wounds have healed quickly."
"Next week, you can be discharged from the hospital next week."
"Honey, after I'm discharged from the hospital, I can't stay home alone... Can you go back to Tianyi Pavilion to take care of me?"
Tu Ran was stunned. She had never thought about this before.
"I'm the only one living in Tianyi Pavilion."
"That's our wedding room."
"If it were a normal day, it would be fine."
"Now that I've been discharged from the hospital with serious injuries, are you sure I can stay home alone?" Boss Xie began to use his tactics.
"Tianyi Pavilion is in the city."
"Muyunzhai is in the suburbs."
"Very far away."
"I've been busy with work lately, and the medicinal herbs I'm rushing to make for my overseas clients haven't been finished yet."
"I also want to help Gu Xixing prepare targeted drugs."
"I'm afraid it's a bit inconvenient."
"Why don't you stay here instead of being discharged from the hospital?" Tu Ran suggested.
Xie Da Lao obviously couldn't accept it.
"It's impossible to continue to be hospitalized. There are still many things waiting for me in the company."
"Well, since it's inconvenient for you to go back to Tianyi Pavilion."
"Then how about I go live with you in Muyunzhai?"
Tu Ran: ? ?
Tu Ran was confused.
While she was confused, Xie Nancheng took her little hand and rubbed it.
"Wife, you wouldn't be so cruel as to not take me in, would you?"
"Think about it."
"I worked all day and came home without even a hot meal."
"If the wound gets infected or festering, I can't handle it myself."
"Can you be assured?"
"But it's too far and too tiring for you to go back and forth like this," said Tu Ran.
"It's okay. I don't drive myself. I have a driver to pick me up."
"Just tell me whether you will give in or not?"
Now that things have come to this, there is no way Tu Ran would refuse.
"All right then."
"But I might be busy with work, so please don't delay my work."
"Promise not to disturb you, wife."
"I'd even pay for my food."
"Stop being so pompous and take a rest."
"I'm going back too. I have to go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow morning."
Tu Ran then left the hospital.
On the other hand, Mrs. Lin had a very strange dream.
She dreamed that Lin Siyao was about to go out, covered in blood.
"Yaoyao..."
"Where are you going?"
"Speak up, Yaoyao?"
"I'm your mother, turn around and look at her."
"Why are you covered in blood? Where did the blood come from?" Mrs. Lin stumbled in her dream as she tried to catch up, but she was always a few steps behind her daughter.
Lin Siyao didn't look back and kept walking forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly stopped.
Then turned around...
"Yaoyao."
"Mom, I'm leaving. This time I might not come back."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Why can't your mother understand..."
Mrs. Lin woke up from her dream crying.
"What's wrong with you?" The husband beside her didn't understand.
She picked up the phone tremblingly and called her daughter again, but still couldn't get through.
She called Lin Chen again.
It took a long time before the other end answered the call.
Lin Chen: Mom...it’s so late, what’s the matter?
Mrs. Lin: Did something happen to your sister? Tell me the truth.
Mrs. Lin's voice was filled with tears, and this sentence also woke Lin Chen up completely.
