Chapter 605 The Grand Reunion (3)
"Han Mingyu, I will try to accept you back, but I can't guarantee what the final outcome will be."
Qi Mingxuan looked at him seriously, "We are not young anymore. My body is not as healthy as before, and it will be very troublesome for us to live together. You should know that there is no cure for mental illness in medicine. I have been very stable for the past two years, but that doesn't mean I won't relapse in the future."
Han Mingyu felt a dull ache in his heart as he listened to her words.
She can now discuss her illness so openly, a result of countless painful days and nights of torment.
Han Mingyu knew that she had many concerns.
He also knew that she had no shortage of excellent suitors in the past two years, but she had never wavered, probably because of these considerations.
“Xiao Xuan, I will always be with you. I will get as close to you as you want. I will not force you. You just need to know that the door of the Han family will always be open to you. You will always be the mistress of Mingyuan. Your coming and going is up to you. I hope that Mingyuan is a harbor where you can hide and rest when you are tired, rather than a cage that confines your freedom.”
Also, I always hope you are healthy and safe. Our two children need you as their mother. As long as you live, they will always be children with a mother. But you don't need to compromise yourself for them. You are a mother, but you can still be yourself.
The man's voice was deep and solemn, each word spoken with exceptional clarity in the quiet ward.
Qi Mingxuan was moved by his words.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed at the man's familiar, handsome face. "Han Mingyu, don't you think you're being too subservient?"
"I would gladly accept it." Han Mingyu looked at her with deep eyes. "Xiao Xuan, as long as you are still willing to give me the opportunity to take care of you, it is already a great favor from God."
"I would never love you," Qi Mingxuan said calmly. "Is that even acceptable?"
"Okay." Han Mingyu smiled, tears falling from the corners of his reddened eyes. "For the rest of my life, loving you is enough. As long as you are well, my love will have meaning."
Qi Mingxuan raised her hand, her slender, cool fingertips wiping away the tears on his face.
"Alright, then let me see how steadfast your love will be for the rest of your life."
Han Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, then suddenly quickened.
He reached out and hugged Qi Mingxuan, "Xiao Xuan, thank you, thank you..."
Qi Mingxuan let him hold her; compared to Han Mingyu's excitement, she was actually much calmer.
She had actually anticipated this outcome from the moment she decided to forgive Han Mingyu.
If you can let go of hatred, what is there that you can't let go of?
In the past two years, she has also tried to get to know other men around her, such as that French painter. In fact, Qi Mingxuan quite likes his image and inner qualities.
The French are very passionate, and men express their love in a direct and intense way.
Qi Mingxuan also wavered, thinking that maybe she should try to talk to him.
However, such thoughts would always vanish abruptly upon seeing Han Mingyu.
She loved only one man in her life, a love so intense and obsessive that it permeated her entire youth and became an obsession that even amnesia could not erase. It was deeply ingrained in her bones, and no matter how much pain or hatred she felt, she could not completely eradicate this love from her heart.
But she once thought that since Han Mingyu didn't ask for a result, they could raise and accompany the two children together as friends and half family for the rest of their lives, which would be another kind of fulfillment.
However, six months ago, she suddenly fainted in her studio while busy painting, and the despair of being on the verge of death filled her with deep fear.
She thought she would die silently in that studio, but as her consciousness faded, she heard someone calling her.
"Xiao Xuan! Xiao Xuan—"
The voice was urgent and heart-wrenching.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
Han Mingyu had a full beard and bloodshot eyes, looking like a wild man.
Qi Mingxuan was startled by him and before she could react, Han Mingyu suddenly ran away.
She thought Han Mingyu had gone out to call the doctor, but after waiting a few minutes and the doctor not coming, Han Mingyu came back.
However, his eyes were even redder and swollen than before.
Qi Mingxuan then realized that the man had gone outside to secretly shed tears.
He's almost forty, a grown man, and he looks utterly pathetic.
But Qi Mingxuan was somewhat moved as she watched.
That was the first time she began to think about her future with Han Mingyu.
Then came this hospitalization.
In the early stages of her flu, she did go to the hospital to see a doctor and get medicine, but the medicine did not help her. Her cough and nasal congestion kept recurring.
At the end of the year, when the company was busy, Han Mingyu learned that she was ill and immediately left the company to rush to France.
Qi Mingxuan didn't really want to trouble him, but Han Mingyu insisted on waiting until she recovered before leaving.
But her health was just too poor; even a common flu wouldn't improve her condition no matter what treatment she received abroad.
Han Mingyu works remotely every day and also has to take care of her. Qi Mingxuan couldn't bear it and finally suggested returning to China.
On the plane back to China, she developed a high fever without warning. After landing, Han Mingyu took her directly to Qin's Hospital.
Upon examination, it was found to be pneumonia.
While delirious with high fever, Qi Mingxuan heard several sighs.
I woke up slowly in the middle of the night and saw the man standing by the bed, his back to me lonely and heavy.
Qi Mingxuan knew that he couldn't sleep at night because of her health.
At that moment, she closed her eyes, and a voice inside her said: Just accept it.
In this lifetime, it's always been him, so just accept it.
She couldn't sever all ties with him; she had resentment and hatred, but didn't it all originate from the word 'love'?
They're not young anymore. Since they've survived those agonizing days, and since they can't completely let go of each other, why not just let each other go?
After all, no one knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.
Cherish the present moment and live each day as you please, so that even if an unexpected event happens someday, at least you won't have any regrets.
…
Qi Mingxuan was discharged from the hospital on New Year's Eve.
Her condition has basically stabilized, but she still needs to take oral medication for another week, and she will have to go back to the hospital for a follow-up examination after a week.
Once she's fully recovered from pneumonia, Han Mingyu plans to take her to see Jin Huaimin so he can help Qi Mingxuan recuperate.
Han Mingyu sent the news that Qi Mingxuan was going back to the Han family home for the Chinese New Year to the family group chat early in the morning.
Han's mother was overjoyed and immediately called to confirm.
Once it was confirmed to be true, Han's mother immediately shared the good news with Grandpa Han and his wife.
The entire Han family was overjoyed.
Han's mother was busy from early morning, having the kitchen prepare dishes that Qi Mingxuan liked, and having the servants carefully clean and decorate Mingyuan inside and out, all according to Qi Mingxuan's preferences!
Mingyuan has been without a female head of household for more than two years. Even though Han Mingyu and his child still live here, it is still a bit desolate without a female head of household.
Now that the mistress is coming back, all the servants in Mingyuan are extremely excited.
Lan's mother smiled and said, "That's great. Should I take out the red four-piece bedding set that the eldest young master wore at his wedding, wash and dry it, and put it back on?"
Upon hearing this, Han's mother hesitated.
Although Qi Mingxuan agreed to go back to the Han family for the New Year, it seems she didn't say she would stay.
She actually hoped that Qi Mingxuan would stay.
However, when she visited Qi Mingxuan at the hospital yesterday, Qi Mingxuan and Han Mingyu were still acting like polite friends. Could it be that they rekindled their old feelings after just one night?
Han's mother wondered: Could it be that Mingyu saw that Xiaoxuan was not in good health, and that Qi Zhao was not there, so he was worried that Xiaoxuan would be lonely spending the New Year alone at the Qi family's house? That's why he used this as an excuse to persuade Xiaoxuan to come back to the Han family's house for the New Year.
I feel that this possibility is quite high!
Over the past two years, Han's mother has experienced countless disappointments. Each time, she felt that there was room for Qi Mingxuan and Han Mingyu to reconcile, but Han Mingyu's words, "She only associates with me for the sake of the child," shattered her hopes.
Qi Mingxuan finally agreed to go back to the Han family for the New Year, so she absolutely mustn't do something wrong with her good intentions!
"Let me ask again!" Thinking of this, Han's mother took out her phone and dialed Han Mingyu's number.
At this moment, Han Mingyu was driving.
Qi Mingxuan sat in the passenger seat.
The carriage was quiet, so Han's mother's voice came clearly to Qi Mingxuan's ears through the phone—
"Mingyu, after thinking it over, I still have to ask you, are you and Xiaoxuan back together now?"
