Chapter 2029 The Last Time
"Can't you apply it yourself?" Mu Xin asked.
"After all, it's because of you," he paused, "and I took you in last night without any grudges. Is it too much to ask you to bandage my wounds?"
"...are you still using moral blackmail now?"
Even though she said this, she still took his hand and gently placed the ice cube on the back of his hand.
The two of them sat quietly by the bed, Mu Xin carefully applying massage to the back of his hand. It seemed as if time had stopped, and they seemed to have returned to the past.
But Mu Xin remembered that he was going to France tonight and might never come back. It was estimated that the only time they would sit together like this in this life would be for a short while.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She had known for a long time that her relationship with Fu Zichen was over, but when they met this time, she learned a lot of truth and understood the misunderstandings of the past, but she still couldn't accept him without any reservations.
Then this separation is probably a complete farewell.
The fate between the two of them probably ends here.
She lowered her head and thought about these things, tears dripping down and falling on the back of his hand.
She blinked rapidly, pretending nothing had happened.
But Fu Zichen lifted her chin and kissed her on the lips.
Mu Xin did not struggle. When he pried open her lips and teeth, she did not resist, but actively catered to him.
The ice cubes were thrown aside, and the two of them hugged each other tightly. Fu Zichen slowly pushed her down on the bed, and his slender fingers fell on the buttons of her pajamas...
His cool fingers touched her skin, and Mu Xin shuddered and came back to her senses.
She held Fu Zichen's hand and pushed him away.
"That's enough, don't go too far."
Fu Zichen stared at her with intense eyes. Mu Xin knew that he wanted her.
But there was no possibility for the two of them, so she didn't intend to continue indulging him.
After a while, Fu Zichen stood up and left the bed.
Mu Xin also lowered her head and took away the towel wrapped in ice.
After that, neither of them took the initiative to say anything, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. He got dressed and went downstairs to meet Uncle Shi, because he had other things to do this morning.
Mu Xin also returned to her suite.
He Yiming was not in the suite. The bed was neatly made and he seemed to have left.
Mu Xin found her cell phone from the bedside and took a look. Sure enough, there was a message from He Yiming.
He Yiming said, "Mu Xin, I'm back in Haicheng. Something happened at the company, so I didn't have time to say hello to you in person. Have fun at your uncle's house. When you confirm your return date, remember to tell me and I'll pick you up at the airport. And I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was drunk and confused. I hope you don't take it to heart and don't take it seriously. It won't happen again."
Such earnest words made Mu Xin feel uncomfortable.
She replied: "Got it, I'll get back this afternoon."
Before sending the message, she thought of something and deleted the second half of the sentence, changing it to: I will tell you after the date of returning to the city is confirmed.
But I deleted this message and retyped the previous line: I will reply today, the flight is at 6 pm.
After the message was sent, He Yiming's reply was received soon.
Something seemed to have changed between them, but it also seemed as if nothing had changed. He was still the same polite, warm and considerate Brother Yiming as before.
She is still the winemaker who flies to various wineries.
As for everything that happened in my uncle's manor, perhaps it was just a small episode in a long life.
…
That morning, Shi Chenyuan's father and Fu Zichen left the manor together to do some business. As soon as they left, a guest came to the manor. He was also an acquaintance, Yan Hao.
When Cheng Xiaoyu saw Yan Hao appear in the living room on the first floor, he was in a trance for a moment.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked as she walked towards Yan Hao.
Yan Hao opened his mouth and looked at Shi Chenyuan who was beside Cheng Xiaoyu, "Sorry to disturb your vacation."
Shi Chenyuan nodded to him and greeted him.
Cheng Xiaoyu had already arrived in front of him. When she looked at him from such a close distance, she noticed that his eyes were full of red bloodshot, his eyelids were slightly swollen, and his face showed a tired look.
"What happened?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked.
If it wasn't something serious, Cheng Xiaoyu thought Yan Hao wouldn't come to her like this.
"My mother is sick and in the hospital. She's not doing well... If you're willing, I'd like you to go back with me to see her."
When Cheng Xiaoyu heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong with Auntie?"
"It's pancreatic tail cancer, and it's already in the late stage." Yan Hao said, his eyes getting redder.
Cheng Xiaoyu felt a lump in her throat and her body swayed, but fortunately Shi Chenyuan supported her in time.
"Auntie, why are you suddenly..."
Aunt Yan has always been in poor health. The last time we met was half a year ago. At that time, I just thought that Aunt Yan had lost weight again, and I didn’t think it was getting worse.
Yan Hao sighed: "I didn't expect that..."
Shi Chenyuan hugged Xiaoyu's shoulders, then said to Yanhao, "Sit down and talk. Have you had breakfast?"
Yan Hao shook his head: "I'm not hungry, no need to bother."
Shi Chenyuan nodded, but still asked Zeng Bo to make a pot of tea and bring some snacks.
Yan Hao said thank you, and then the three of them sat down in the living room.
Yan Hao sighed and said to Cheng Xiaoyu, "It's my fault too. I was careless. My mother had been complaining of stomach pain before, and I thought it was an old problem. I wanted to take her for a physical examination, but I was busy with work and didn't take care of it. Two days ago, she fainted downstairs and was taken to the hospital by a neighbor, and that's when this disease was diagnosed."
Cheng Xiaoyu wiped her tears and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
"If chemotherapy can curb the cancer cells and shrink the lesions, and my physical condition allows, I can then undergo surgery, but..."
Yan Hao paused, his voice growing hoarse. "My mom's health isn't good, and I'm afraid the chemotherapy will make her worse... If she can't have surgery, she might only have three months at most."
Cheng Xiaoyu's tears suddenly came down.
Aunt Yan watched her grow up. No matter what her relationship with Yan Hao was like later, she and Aunt Yan had always been very close. Aunt Yan was like her own aunt.
When Cheng Xiaoyu thought of Aunt Yan's illness and the worst-case scenario that Yan Hao had mentioned, she felt that she could not accept this reality.
"Auntie is sick, why are you running around? Why don't you just call me?"
Yan Hao gave her a deep look and said, "You blocked me, have you forgotten?"
Cheng Xiaoyu: “…”
Last time, because of the wedding invitation incident, Shi was unhappy. In order to show that she had no contact with her ex, Cheng Xiaoyu blocked all contact information of Yan Hao in front of Shi Chenyuan.
