Chapter 337 Alright... then I wish you happiness!
"...I just got back not long ago too." Lu Qinghe glanced at him, carefully answering, then sat down next to Nan Xia. Not wanting to be questioned by that man again, she took her hand and asked:
"Why were you discharged from the hospital so suddenly? How are you feeling?"
“You’re much better now. You just need to take your medicine at home on time. How is your grandma?” Nanxia asked, looking at him.
“She’s out of danger now. Oh, and I told Grandma we’re getting our marriage certificate. She was so happy and said you should visit her once you’re healed,” he said.
"I called you a few days ago to say a few words to your grandma, but you didn't answer. How about I call your grandpa now and say hello?"
Nanxia deliberately said that she had become suspicious because he hadn't answered her video calls twice.
"Of course, my grandpa will be very happy. There were too many relatives when you video-called me the other day, and they were all very gossipy. I was a little embarrassed. Don't be angry."
"By the way, when you video-called me this morning, I was just about to answer, but my phone was dead. I charged it when I got back, so I should be able to call now."
Lu Qinghe knew she suspected him. He had already called his maternal grandfather to tell him. His maternal grandfather and grandmother doted on him the most because he was the most outstanding in the family.
He went to his bedroom to get his phone, sat down next to her, and immediately made a video call to his grandfather—Nan Xia couldn't help but glance at the man, noticing that he seemed quite natural.
And he actually made a video call. Did I wrong him?
The video call connected abruptly, revealing a gentle-looking elderly man with white hair. Nanxia had met him six years ago; he was indeed the man's maternal grandfather. She greeted him.
"Hello, Grandpa Li..."
"Hello, hello, it's been six years since I last saw you. When Qinghe saved you, he took care of you in the hospital. I thought back then that he must have fallen in love with you at first sight since he was so good to you. I never thought that you two would actually get together now."
The old man smiled kindly and said that he and his wife were just ordinary people, not a wealthy family. They didn't have any airs of superiority, but were the kind of grandfathers who doted on their grandchildren to the extreme.
Nan Xia smiled sheepishly.
"If Qinghe hadn't suddenly come back to see his grandma, you two wouldn't have been delayed from getting your marriage certificate. Don't be angry with him!" The old man lied for his grandson in the video.
My grandson said he really liked this Nanxia, but she was being threatened by another woman. He had to deal with her grievances these past few days, so I had no choice but to lie for him.
Nan Xia glanced at the man beside her. Since the old man had said so, she completely put aside her doubts. "It's only right that he goes back to see Grandma Li. Why would I be angry?"
“…!” Lu Qingya, who was standing by the sofa, was just worried for her older brother, but she didn’t expect that her grandfather would lie for him.
“…” Standing not far away, Song Yanzhi crossed his arms and couldn’t help but chuckle. Were they all liars? This Lu Qinghe does have some skill.
He actually managed to get everyone to lie for him!
"When are you two going to get your marriage certificate? I've been wanting to attend your wedding for a long time." The old man took the opportunity to urge them to get married, as his grandson was not young anymore and it was time for him to get married.
“I wanted to get our marriage certificate with her today, but she wouldn’t agree…” Lu Qinghe suddenly said deliberately.
"It's not too late to get the marriage certificate today, Xiaxia, why don't you just say yes?" the old man said, offering his help.
Nan Xia glanced at the man beside her again, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.
"You really agreed?" He was overjoyed and pulled her into his arms. Had they weathered this crisis? She turned to look at the man again, a smug smile playing on her lips.
If he tries to take it from me, can he win?
Song Yanzhi looked at the man, a slight smile appearing in his eyes, seemingly mocking yet knowing, as light as a breeze across the water, fleeting yet enough to make the man opposite him feel a sudden tightness in his heart.
Lu Qinghe withdrew her gaze, a vague unease creeping into her heart. Had that man seen through her lie?
Never mind, I'm getting my marriage certificate with Xiaxia today anyway. Once we're officially husband and wife, Xiaxia will definitely keep her distance from me even more.
After asking a few more questions about Grandma Li's situation, Nan Xia hung up the video call. Lu Qinghe immediately asked her, "Should we go get our marriage certificate now, or this afternoon?"
"In the afternoon, it's getting late," she said.
“Okay.” He nodded, then looked at the man and asked, “Attorney Song, aren’t you leaving yet? Are you coming with us to get the marriage certificate?”
Looking at the woman he had always loved, Song Yanzhi asked with a hurt look in his eyes, "Are you really going to get a marriage certificate with him?"
Nanxia looked at him and nodded, "...Mm."
Since she no longer doubted the man, she had no reason to refuse him. This man had saved her life and had liked her for so many years.
Even if you don't like him now, feelings can be cultivated. Maybe you'll like him in time.
Anyway, she didn't dislike him.
"Alright... then I wish you happiness." Song Yanzhi smiled bitterly, strode away, and turned away with slightly reddened eyes, feeling as if his heart had been pierced by countless holes.
It was both cold and painful.
Nanxia watched his lonely figure, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. She felt a pang of heartache for him and a sense of reluctance. She knew that she still loved him.
I'm just angry that he bullied me in the past.
His repentance and care during this time had lessened her hatred for him, but she had already accepted someone else's marriage proposal—
Perhaps it's just that we're not meant to be?
Seeing her staring absentmindedly at the door, Lu Qinghe suppressed her displeasure. Did she still like her ex-boyfriend? Humph, what was so great about that man?
He simply didn't believe that any man in the past few years hadn't slept with other women. What normal man doesn't have physical needs? How many years could he endure without touching a woman?
She just didn't know it.
"Xiaxia, don't be fooled by his appearance. He must have had other women over the years. No man can be so celibate as to not touch a woman for years."
He held the woman's hand and said that he just didn't want her to think about other men anymore.
"And what about you? Have you been with other women these past few years?" Nan Xia turned to look at him and asked in return. Lu Qingya looked at her best friend, then at her older brother, and broke out in a cold sweat for him.
Why does he go around criticizing others?
They've shot themselves in the foot!
"...I...of course I haven't. You know I only like you. I swear I've never been in a relationship, I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't have a white moonlight! If you don't believe me, you can ask Qingya." Lu Qinghe immediately raised his hand to swear.
He had never been in a relationship before; his assistant was just a fleeting romance.
Lu Qingya frowned. Why was he dragging her into this again?
Nanxia glanced at her best friend, and seeing that she didn't refute her, she believed the man's words. "I believe you, no need to swear."
