Chapter 217 What if You Can’t Do It
After listening to her say so much, Chi Yuan still didn't quite understand what she was thinking.
It seems like he's prepared to just make do with it.
It is actually normal to get married for the sake of compromise. It is a blessing to find the right person to accompany you for life.
But... He Yuanshan likes Bai Qingcheng. It's been so long, why hasn't he confessed yet?
We are about to get married, and expressing my feelings at this time...it seems appropriate no matter how you look at it.
In the end, Chi Yuan found an excuse to send Bai Qingcheng away and left her in Heyuan Mountain.
"What's going on? Are you planning on never telling this for the rest of your life?"
Unlike usual, He Yuanshan was not smiling today, but looked more serious.
"Actually... Qingcheng didn't tell you that she agreed to get married because... something happened to Mr. Bai."
What?
"The Bai family kept this matter a secret, not a word leaked out. Not even your parents knew about it. Qingcheng didn't tell you just now, maybe because she didn't know how to tell you."
Mr. Bai... Chi Yuan's mind flashed with that majestic face. He looked very healthy and didn't look like he would be sick.
Or... did something else happen?
"Even my parents don't know... What is it? If it's not convenient to tell me, forget it."
After all, it was someone else's privacy. Chi Yuan guessed that the only thing that could make Bai Qingcheng compromise was life or death.
A rare look of worry crossed He Yuanshan's face. "She...actually, she was planning to tell you. But seeing how excited you were just now, she probably didn't want to spoil your fun."
"Mr. Bai has bone cancer. The doctor says he won't live more than five years. Qingcheng is afraid that he will blame himself for his illness."
Chi Yuan: “…”
She suddenly felt extremely upset.
He originally wanted to match her up with He Yuanshan, but ended up touching upon her sad past.
"Bone cancer doesn't develop overnight. I'm afraid it's related to Uncle Bai's work. He's worked hard for the Bai family his entire life, and now it's time for him to rest."
He Yuanshan shook his head: "It may not be nice to say this, but I'm more worried about Qingcheng. Cancer is closely related to genetics. I'm worried that Qingcheng will also..."
"Stop." Chi Yuan said carefully, "Those are things for the future. There's no point in worrying about them now. Even if the genetics have a big impact, Qingcheng won't necessarily get it. Otherwise, the whole world would be full of cancer patients."
She paused and whispered, "Qingcheng is leaving me in your care recently. Putting aside the feelings, it is indeed the best approximate solution for her to marry you. We are all relieved that she is familiar with you."
This is not a compliment to Heyuanshan.
If possible, he certainly hoped... Bai Qingcheng would fall in love with him.
"By the way, with your qualifications, you don't have to take the unified exam. You can apply through me and directly enter the University of Brexton."
“…”
This is another dilemma for Yu Chiyuan.
She didn't want to use her relationship with Heyuanshan, as she felt that gaining something through her own strength would always give her a greater sense of accomplishment.
"Don't think this is a bad thing. Connections are a resource. And my willingness to help you is based on your considerable abilities. If it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't even be willing to write a letter of recommendation."
When it comes to work, He Yuanshan is always more interested.
They are a rare and suitable partner at work.
"Well, now that you mention it, I feel much better. I'll contact you then."
He Yuanshan simply pointed it out directly: "Don't hesitate, I will write a letter of recommendation for you directly. It's a deal."
"Okay, then I won't refuse."
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and it would be her fault if she refused it again.
After that day, the two never came to the hospital again until two days before Chi Yuan was discharged from the hospital, when Bai Qingcheng sent a message to inform him that he was returning home.
The last time they chatted was when they came to visit her in the hospital.
It can be seen that Bai Qingcheng has been in a very bad mood during this period.
"Bone cancer, this disease doesn't seem to be widespread." Chi Yuan clenched his fists. "Human life is so fragile. It can be gone in an instant."
Her father is old and seems to have never had a physical examination.
"The doctor only said that he may only have five years to live, but it may be more than five years. I believe that Mr. Bai will actively cooperate with the treatment."
At this time, a crying sound came from the stroller. Wen Yi had just made milk and hurried over to feed the child.
"In two days, we will be discharged from the hospital. Do you really plan to stay here?" Qi Wang asked tentatively: "We... can go back to China directly, and you don't have to work so hard."
Chi Yuan's father had already told him roughly the reason why he was going abroad.
To put it bluntly, it's because of him.
Qi Wang regretted it, but at the same time he felt fortunate.
"Return to China and remarry, okay?"
If he hadn't mentioned it, Chi Yuan would have almost forgotten that they were still divorced.
Remarriage is just a matter of a marriage certificate...
"I don't want it."
Chi Yuan pondered for a moment, then refused with a smile.
"Think about it, our divorce was pretty unhappy, and our marriage wasn't exactly joyful either. Now that we're rushing to remarry, why do I feel like I'm still at a disadvantage?"
The man didn't seem to expect her to refuse, and his face, which was originally full of smiles, now looked a little embarrassed.
"That……"
He only uttered one word after a long time, and there was no further words.
Qi Wang rarely felt so helpless.
Chi Yuan didn't respond, but just looked at him with a smile, her eyebrows curved, as if expecting him to say something.
"So what do you want me to do?"
Qi Wang rubbed her head and said, "Look, our child is already one month old, but we haven't remarried yet. We should have given her a home."
"You said, as long as you want, I can do it."
Chi Yuan chuckled: "What if you can't do it?"
“I can’t do it, but I’ll try my best.”
This is Qi Wangdao's true words.
He felt that he owed Chi Yuan, and he would do his best to fulfill whatever she wanted.
"Is it a wedding that will rock the capital? Or a proposal that will draw global attention? Or anything else, I'm all for it..."
As the man was speaking, Chi Yuan suddenly covered his lips.
"I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? What if I wanted you to pick the stars from the sky and give them to me as a proposal gift, would you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Wang actually acted as if he was thinking seriously.
“I can’t pick the stars in the sky, but I can plan to take you to see them.”
Now it was Chi Yuan's turn to be stunned.
In her impression, Qi Wang has always been a rather dull person.
Let alone sweet talk, he doesn't talk much in normal times and isn't very good at explaining things.
"What's wrong with you today? You spoke so nicely. Did you go to Heyuan Mountain to seek Buddhist scriptures?"
Qi Wang's expression was a little awkward: "Why did you think of him? This is my true feelings, and I naturally want to tell you."
Chi Yuan smiled and suddenly kissed the corner of his lips.
"Okay, no more jokes."
