Just thinking about that situation made him feel cold in his heart.
A very complex emotion also welled up towards the woman in front of him, a mixture of being touched and feeling guilty.
He couldn't imagine what kind of faith and mood she had used to hold on to the end.
But……
"Why did you lie to me?" He said in a puzzled tone, "If you had recognized me at the beginning, nothing would have happened later."
Yang Jinxia looked at him with flickering eyes and sighed, "I'm too greedy."
"In that dream, you didn't have a good impression of me. You kept saying that you wanted to have sex with me, but in your heart, you were always wary and resistant to me."
"You've never taken the initiative to be too intimate with me. I know what this means."
"What kind of relationship are we in? Perhaps, more like comrades-in-arms who don't get along well. Not a couple, let alone a partner."
Yang Jinxia's series of words made it difficult for Chen Xu to refute.
During the second dream, his mind was still in a very sensitive and closed period, and he would sometimes overreact to other people's attitudes.
It was also because he had experienced so much and constantly adjusted himself that his mentality changed.
Yang Jinxia continued, "If I recognize you at that time, your impression of me will always remain in your dreams. At first, you may be excited. But soon, you will be suspicious, defensive, and finally, stay away from me."
Chen Xu remained silent. She was right. If she had come to him directly and recognized him, he would have been more surprised than happy. He might even have been so worried that he couldn't sleep.
Because, this means that his biggest secret is likely to be exposed, and the person who knows this secret is a very dangerous woman. It is enough to make him tremble with fear.
"That's not what I want."
Yang Jinxia said slowly, "What I want is for you to love me. I want you to never forget me for the rest of your life. I want to leave an indelible mark in your heart."
Chen Xu looked at her in shock when he heard her direct confession.
With a smile on her face, she said, "So, I decided to let you get to know me again. I pretended that I knew nothing and got in touch with you. Then, we got to know each other, and fell in love. I think this will definitely become a beautiful memory we have together."
Chen Xu recalled the days when he was with her. She had almost succeeded. When she left, he could not give up his feelings for her and was determined to work hard for her. Even in the third dream, when faced with Bai Jinxuan's confession, he resolutely rejected it.
Because in his heart, he was still thinking about the woman named Yang Jinxia.
It was not until he met Luo Xiyun that he suddenly realized that Yang Jinxia had been lying to him. He was like a fool, being played around by her. From then on, his love turned into raging anger.
As time went by, the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot. However, he still couldn't forgive her. The last time he met her in the hospital, that attitude was not only for Luo Xiyun to see, but more importantly, it was to vent his inner anger.
However, after hearing her thoughts now, he was a little confused. He couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false.
He wanted to believe that these were all true, but his reason told him that if Yang Jinxia wanted to deceive him, he would not be able to tell.
"I told my grandmother about us. I guess she would also like to see you before she leaves. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can help me this time and don't let her leave with regrets." She pleaded.
Chen Xu took a deep breath, suppressed his confused mood, and said, "I can go see her, but I hope you won't come to me in the future. It's impossible for us to be together anymore."
A delighted smile appeared on Yang Jinxia's face. "I promise you, I will never come to you on my own initiative in the future."
For some reason, Chen Xu felt a little uneasy when he saw the smile on her face. However, he quickly calmed down and thought that as long as he stood firm, he didn't have to worry about her playing any tricks.
…………
Secretary Jin had been sitting in her seat, facing the computer, but her mind was not on it at all. Yang Jinxia had been in Chen Xu's office for more than ten minutes.
She was very curious about what the two were talking about.
Unfortunately, the office had good sound insulation and she couldn't hear a thing.
From where she was sitting, she could see Chen Xu sitting inside through the glass. However, now she was blocked by Yang Jinxia's back, so she couldn't see Chen Xu inside.
"I'm going out for a while, you take care of the company." Chen Xu gave an instruction and went out with Yang Jinxia.
Secretary Jin was so surprised that she forgot to answer him.
From the looks of it, are they going out together? Could it be that the boss is a hidden tycoon? Is he opening a noodle shop just to experience life? Her mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts constantly popping up.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how he could know someone like Ms. Yang, and even how she treated him as an equal.
…………
Chen Xu drove his own car and followed Yang Jinxia's car all the way to the hospital where they had been last time.
They walked to the inpatient building again and came to the floor where Luo Zhenghai was hospitalized that day. Chen Xu followed Yang Jinxia and walked to the other end of the corridor.
He suddenly realized that it was Luo Zhenghai who had arranged that day and deliberately lived on the same floor as Yang Jinxia's grandmother. Perhaps even the time of notifying them was calculated so that they could meet Yang Jinxia by chance. He really took great pains.
Yang Jinxia walked to the innermost ward, turned around and said to him, "This is it." Then she pushed the door and walked in.
Chen Xu also followed him inside, while the female driver stood outside the door.
The ward was very luxurious. Chen Xu's attention was completely attracted by the old woman on the bed. She looked extremely old, with gray hair, eyes closed, and a vacuum machine on her face. Occasionally, a small piece of mist would appear on the glass cover, proving that she was still alive.
“This is my grandma.”
Yang Jinxia stood in front of the bed, looked down at the old woman, and said, "A few years ago, she suffered a brain hemorrhage due to some stimulation. She almost died. After she was rescued, she couldn't move her whole body and has been lying there ever since."
Chen Xu looked at the old woman's hand. It was extremely thin and had an IV tube inserted into it. It looked like she really didn't have much time left. He whispered, "She seems to be asleep."
"She has been like this since this year, and her lucid time is getting shorter and shorter. The doctor said she won't last much longer." Yang Jinxia sighed, "I found the best doctor for her and used the best medicine. I don't want her to die like this. I hope she can live a hundred years."
Chen Xu heard her calm tone, but inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help asking, "Can she still speak now?"
Yang Jinxia shook her head. "She can't speak now, her mouth can't move, and she can't eat. I can only feed her some liquid food."
Chen Xu felt creepy when he heard this. If he got old and fell into such a situation, he might as well die.
He felt very uncomfortable staying here, and said, "Since she is asleep, let's not wake her up, let's go."
"It's okay. The doctor said that even if she falls asleep, she can still hear us."
Yang Jinxia shook her head and said to the old woman on the bed, "Grandma, this is the man I told you about. His name is Chen Xu. Don't worry, as long as he is around, I will live well."
"Besides, I will have children with him and continue the Yang family's lineage..."
"etc."
Chen Xu couldn't listen any longer and interrupted her, "She's already like this, why are you still lying to her?"
"Everything I said to her was true."
"Are you still not giving up? There's no way between us."
"Who said it's impossible?" Yang Jinxia smiled, "Have you forgotten that we were together every day during the New Year period?"
Chen Xu was somewhat helpless, "That was all a few months ago."
Yang Jinxia smiled even more brightly. "Although there is no human cryopreservation technology on Earth, it is still very easy to freeze some sperm."
For a moment, Chen Xu felt his hands and feet were cold.
