Listening to the man's trembling voice, Su Ling was a little surprised.
All along, Lin Feng was like a vigorous eagle, spreading his strong wings to block the wind and rain, pampering and protecting him, and he took his protection for granted, never thinking that he also had vulnerable moments.
Su Ling's fluctuating heart gradually settled down. He sniffed, wiped the tears from his face, and looked determined.
He had no reason to feel sorry for himself, and he shouldn't be trapped in sadness. When he didn't know, Lin Feng had been silently paying for him, so the most important thing to do now was to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, support each other, and overcome difficulties together.
However, he was still angry about being kept in the dark. If the two of them had enough trust and honesty, there would not have been unnecessary misunderstandings.
To calm himself down, Su Ling struggled to sit up. Lin Feng considerately placed a soft pillow behind his back to help him adjust to a comfortable position.
Pushing aside the messy hair on his forehead, Su Ling looked calm and looked at Lin Feng with clear eyes.
"You speak, I listen."
Lin Feng pursed his lips lightly, and under Su Ling's insistence, he had to speak frankly.
"Genetic diseases can only be treated with gene therapy. We must find a suitable gene carrier with a high degree of matching, transfer the normal gene to the cell genome, repair it, and ultimately achieve a cure. After Ji Qing explained the plan, I immediately looked for a match for you, and the Su family was the first choice."
When Su Ling heard this, his expression changed slightly and he held Lin Feng's hand. "Did you go to ask the Su family for help?"
The Su family and the Lin family are like water and fire. As the head of the Lin Group, how will Lin Feng be ridiculed for compromising for his illness?
Lin Fenghui shook his hand and said, "I'm looking for your father."
Su Ling frowned. "He won't save me."
My father wasn't a kind man. His marriage to my mother was just a business one, and he didn't invest much affection in either her or his children. What he cared about most were family interests, face, and his own wealth.
My father is a complete selfish person. Asking him to help is simply a fantasy.
Sure enough, Lin Feng's words confirmed Su Ling's thoughts.
"Yes, he refused," Lin Feng said. "I didn't mention your specific condition, but I offered sincerity and benefits in exchange. He was initially tempted, but when he learned that multiple stem cell extractions were required, he firmly refused."
Su Ling lowered his eyes: "He cherishes his life very much."
How could a man who always has bodyguards with him when he goes out harm his own body for his son?
What's more, he has severed ties with the Su family and is no longer a member of the Su family.
Lin Feng said: "If he doesn't want to, I won't force him. He is not the only one in the Su family."
"Did you find anyone else? Who?" Su Ling asked anxiously.
"Su Ze, your second cousin." Lin Feng said, "He and I were participating in an important bidding meeting together. I had a higher chance of winning, and he had a lower chance. As long as he agreed to help, I could withdraw."
Su Ling was slightly stunned.
Among the many descendants of the Su family, Su Ze is the most outstanding and the heir most likely to take over the Su Group. He is smarter than others, has business talent, and will seize every opportunity to increase his bargaining chips.
"He's willing?"
"Yeah." Lin Feng nodded.
"No match was successful?"
"yes."
“What a pity.”
The match was not successful and a project was lost, which was a huge loss for Lin Feng.
"As long as I can cure your illness, I'm willing to pay any price." Lin Feng leaned over and kissed his forehead.
Su Ling's nose felt sore and he couldn't help sobbing. "Silly boy, why are you so nice to me?"
"I love you." Lin Feng said softly.
I clearly didn't want to cry, but tears flowed out involuntarily. My emotions, which had finally stabilized, began to fluctuate again.
"I love you too, very much." Su Ling held his face and said seriously.
Lin Feng pulled him into his arms. "I know...that's why I want to give you the best life, pamper you, love you, and protect you for the rest of your life."
Su Ling bit his lip. "Don't think I'll forgive your self-assertion just because you say that! Keep talking, I want to know everything!"
Lin Feng touched his forehead which was beginning to cool down and glanced at the medicine box on the bedside table.
The medicine developed by Professor Smith is very effective.
"I expanded my search for matches and screened nearly 10,000 people, but none of them were successful. When I was desperate, Ji Qing had a sudden idea and took my stem cells for matching, and unexpectedly, we were a match."
Su Ling looked up in disbelief. "Your genes and mine are—compatible?"
You can guess what happened next without him saying anything.
Lin Feng went to Country L and invested heavily in Professor Smith's biological research institute. Every business trip was a risk to his health, and the more he went, the more frequent it became. Just when Su Ling thought her marriage was in crisis, her man was lying in the lab, being used as a guinea pig. He even got into a car accident while leaving the institute after completing an experiment.
Just thinking about it made Su Ling feel scared. His heart tightened and his vision blurred again.
He cried too many times today.
"Why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid?" He pounded his fist and hit the man's chest.
Lin Feng did not dodge or evade, letting him beat him to his heart's content.
"For you, it's worth it."
"What's so good about me that you have to pay so much?"
Su Ling's knocking force became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into caressing.
"Don't cry, baby." Lin Feng kissed his tears.
"It's all your fault. You made me cry all the time." Su Ling turned his face away embarrassedly.
"You are sick and easily affected by your emotions." Lin Feng comforted him, "Everything will be fine once you go to Country L for treatment."
"Yeah." Su Ling nodded.
It's embarrassing, so be it. Anyway, he often cries in front of Lin Fan, especially when they do that, he often cries.
"From now on... don't hurt yourself without my consent. Your body belongs to me, okay?" Su Ling grabbed Lin Feng's collar and warned him.
"Okay." Lin Feng replied with a smile.
Su Ling glared at him. "Even if this matter is over, there is another matter. You need to explain it to me clearly! What is the precondition for you to marry me?"
"Baby... let go." The collar was pulled too tightly, making it difficult to breathe.
Su Ling let go of his collar. Perhaps because his body temperature had dropped, he felt a little more comfortable. He leaned back and looked at the man leisurely.
Lin Feng seemed a little resistant to this question, but under Su Ling's pressing gaze, he had to confess.
"Just like Second Aunt said, the condition for me to marry you is that we must have a child within three years, either our own or adopted from the clan, otherwise I will be left with nothing."
Su Ling laughed angrily when he heard this, not knowing what to say. Having overdeveloped tear glands was not a good thing, and tears kept falling down.
Lin Feng was nervous. "Baby, don't cry."
"I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry at all!" Su Ling wiped his tears and gritted his teeth, "I really want to hit you on the head with a stick. Such harsh conditions, and you actually agreed?"
Lin Feng was silent.
Seeing him become so sullen, Su Ling angrily pounded the quilt. "You shouldered all the responsibility by yourself. What am I? What am I?"
"Don't be angry, okay?" Lin Feng was afraid that he would get angry again, so he grabbed his fist and hit himself in the face. "I just want to give you the best life. I don't want you to suffer with me."
"We don't have any children," Su Ling pointed out. Once the three-year deadline was up, how could he possibly find a child to fulfill his promise? Wouldn't he still have to give up his position at the helm in the end?
"If we don't have children, then we don't have children. We don't need children." Lin Feng said, "I don't regret marrying you."
Su Ling frowned. "But...if I weren't there, you wouldn't have to make that promise.
"Without you, my life is incomplete." Lin Feng stared at him, "Only with you, I will never give up!"
Su Ling met his fiery and burning gaze, as if he was locked in it, and his chest was burning. They had been together for three years, and being looked at by him like this, it was as if she was back in the honeymoon period, her heart surging.
Feeling his ears burning, Su Ling looked away with difficulty and muttered, "Don't look at me like that."
It made him feel hot all over.
"What will you do when the time comes?" he asked.
Lin Feng said: "First cure your illness, the rest is irrelevant."
"How can it be insignificant?" Su Ling couldn't help but raise his voice, "Do you know what you will lose? Identity? Status? Wealth? You may even be ridiculed and mocked by your former competitors!"
Compared to his excitement, Lin Feng was much calmer.
"You severed your relationship with the Su family for me, so why not let me stop being the president of the Lin Group for you?"
Su Ling was stunned.
How would a proud man like him cope with losing everything?
"Is a marriage certificate... important?" Su Ling murmured, "If I hadn't married you, would you not have made a promise?"
Lin Feng said: "Marriage is to make you my legal partner."
Su Ling shook his head. "The most important thing for two people to be together is mutual trust, mutual support, mutual understanding, and tolerance. Even without marriage, they can still be together forever. If the relationship breaks down, they can still get divorced!"
At the beginning, he was disheartened and had the idea of divorce. If Lin Feng had not pursued him, their relationship would have come to an end, and they would have parted ways and gone their separate ways without any intersection anymore.
Thinking of this possibility, Su Ling felt so heartbroken that he almost suffocated.
He just wanted to love a man well, why did he encounter such a difficult thing?
"Don't think too much." Lin Feng kissed his moist eyes. "Just focus on your treatment and don't worry about anything else."
"How can I not be worried?" Su Ling took a deep breath, pushed him away, and said firmly and decisively, "Let's - divorce!"
"Impossible!" Lin Feng immediately retorted, holding Su Ling's shoulders and saying in a deep voice, "Don't even think about it!"
Su Ling frowned, staring intently at the excited man, and calmly analyzed: "Since the purpose of your promise was to marry me, then if we divorce, you don't have to fulfill your promise. Whether or not we have children cannot force you to give up your position at the helm. We love each other, so what difference does it make whether we get divorced or married?"
Lin Feng remained silent.
Su Ling held his hand, interlocked his fingers, and said softly: "You have given so much for me, I should also give for you."
Lin Feng's eyes flushed, his lips trembling slightly. "Is this... a punishment for keeping it a secret from you?"
Su Ling smiled and said, "If you think so, then so be it."
Lin Feng lowered his head and put his face on their clasped hands.
Su Ling felt liquid falling on the back of his hand. He tilted his head back and blinked his eyes to stop his tears from falling.
"I don't agree!" Lin Feng growled hoarsely.
"If you don't agree..." Su Ling gritted his teeth and took a strong dose of medicine, "If you don't agree, I won't treat you!"
"Ling!" Lin Feng looked up suddenly.
Su Ling looked at him stubbornly.
After a long time, Lin Feng was defeated and uttered a word with difficulty.
"good……"
Su Ling suddenly threw herself into his arms and kissed him on the lips.
The two hugged each other tightly, as if using up all their strength to melt each other into their bodies.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng let go of Su Ling, got out of bed and left the bedroom.
Su Ling curled up in the sheets, pulled down his clothes that had been lifted up, and his stomach, which had been flattened by hunger for a long time, kept rumbling.
In the living room, Aunt Zhou saw Lin Feng coming out of the bedroom and walked over to him and asked with concern, "How is Mr. Su's health? Do you need to ask Doctor Qi to come again?"
At noon, she was shocked to see Master Lin carrying the unconscious Mr. Su back. She quickly called the Lin family's private doctor. After examining him, Dr. Qi said that Mr. Su had a fever and nothing else was wrong. He prescribed some antipyretics and left.
Young Master Lin didn't even eat lunch and stayed by Mr. Su's bedside without leaving.
Aunt Zhou wanted to go in and take a look, but the bedroom door was closed and she didn't want to disturb them.
She waited until the evening, and Mrs. Rong called several times to ask about Su Ling's situation, but she didn't know how to answer.
"He's awake and his fever is gone. No need to call a doctor." Lin Feng asked, "Is the porridge ready?"
"Alright! It's ready!" Aunt Zhou said, "I'll go get you some more!"
She went to the kitchen, quickly filled two bowls of porridge, put some nutritious side dishes in small plates, placed them all on a tray, and brought them to the living room.
Lin Feng took the tray. "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."
"It's my duty." Aunt Zhou smiled.
Lin Feng brought dinner back to the bedroom and saw Su Ling lying on the bed, looking weak. He hurriedly put the tray on the table, walked to the bed and touched Su Ling's face.
"Baby?"
Su Ling smelled the aroma of food, sniffed his nose, and tilted his head. "I'm so hungry..."
I hadn't eaten for over ten hours and I had just cried several times, so I was completely exhausted.
Lin Feng helped him sit up, brought him porridge and sat beside the bed to feed him.
"Ah, open your mouth."
Su Ling obediently opened his mouth and held the spoon.
"Mmm, delicious."
"It's delicious, eat more." Lin Feng fed him mouthful by mouthful and added some side dishes. Su Ling ate with relish. When he was half full, he gently pushed away the spoon that was handed to him.
"You eat too."
"I'll eat later."
"Let's eat together."
Lin Feng had no choice but to eat it himself.
Two bowls of porridge and three side dishes, you take a bite, I take a bite, and it's all finished in a short while.
Su Ling burped contentedly, wiped the corner of his mouth with paper, and leaned against the head of the bed.
Lin Feng took the empty plates and bowls out to Aunt Zhou and returned to the bedroom.
"Do you want to sleep again?" he asked.
"No." Su Ling moved to the other end of the bed, making room. "Lie here, and we'll chat."
Lin Feng took off his shoes and trousers, then got on the bed and leaned against him.
Su Ling automatically leaned into his arms and rested her head on his shoulder affectionately.
"Are you unhappy?" he asked.
"...Yeah." Lin Feng did not deny it.
"Because of divorce?" Su Ling poked his stiff arm with his finger.
"Yes." Lin Feng rubbed the hair on his head with his nose.
"What are you worried about?" Su Ling asked, "Are you worried that I will change my mind after the divorce?"
"No." Lin Feng said.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Su Ling asked.
"There is no legal protection." Lin Feng lowered his eyes.
Su Ling propped up her elbows, supported her chin, and narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes. "Dear, have you forgotten something?"
"Um?"
"I hold 10% of the shares. Even if we get divorced, I will still be the major shareholder of Lin Group." Su Ling raised the corner of his mouth.
The author has something to say: Someone: You can remarry after divorce, what are you afraid of?
Lin Zong silently dragged out a forty-meter-long sword——
