I thought that grandpa might tell me not to divorce Fu Qichuan.
But grandpa didn't.
I could clearly feel that Grandpa's life was slipping away bit by bit, and his voice was extremely weak. "No matter what... don't let Fu Jin'an marry into our family. Protect the Fu family for Grandpa."
"Tutttt..."
I almost collapsed, crying and nodding repeatedly, "Grandpa, did Fu Jinan say something to you? Otherwise, why would you suddenly become ill..."
"she……"
A trace of disgust and anger flashed in Grandpa's eyes, and he finally sighed, "Just remember what Grandpa said."
"Ruan Ruan remembered it, every word."
I choked up and spoke, not daring to ask another question for fear of angering Grandpa again.
But the seeds of doubt were planted in my heart.
Fu Jinan must have said something to grandpa.
"Girl, don't be sad, take care of the baby in your belly."
Grandpa used up his last bit of strength, looked at me and smiled kindly, "This way, Grandpa can die with his eyes closed..."
"drop--"
The monitor made a sharp and long sound!
I looked at my grandfather, who had his eyes closed but a smile on his face, and I collapsed instantly.
Grandpa knows...
He knew I was pregnant a long time ago!
But never asked me.
I grabbed the edge of the bed and slowly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down my face. "Grandpa, Ruan Ruan will do it... Whatever you say, Ruan Ruan will do it!"
I hope grandpa can still hear me and pass away peacefully.
"grandfather!"
After a long time, a familiar and helpless voice came from behind.
The person dear to his heart is finally willing to let him go?
Fu Qichuan was hit hard and asked hesitantly: "Nanzhi, Grandpa, what's wrong with Grandpa..."
"Grandpa is gone."
I answered quietly, feeling as if all the energy had been drained out of me, letting the tears slide silently down my cheeks.
After decades, I miss my relatives again, and this is how it feels.
Even more profound.
This feeling was like a blunt knife, stabbing my heart again and again. I wanted to cry out, but no sound came out. I could only suppress it tightly in my heart.
The autumn air was getting deeper and deeper. When I walked out of the hospital, I felt so cold that I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar.
Just as I reached the side of the road and numbly reached out to hail a taxi, Fu Qichuan suddenly appeared and pulled me towards the parking lot.
I was so exhausted I couldn't speak. I let him pull me along until he stuffed me into the car. Then I asked dazedly, "Where are you taking me?"
"go home."
He looked gentle and leaned over to help me fasten my seat belt, just like any other ordinary thing.
He said go home, not send me home.
I came to my senses, prepared to get off the car, and said calmly, "I'm going back to Jiang Lai's house."
Fu Qichuan didn't give me a chance. He stepped on the accelerator and the car did a tailspin, driving out of the hospital at a high speed and merging into the traffic.
At this time, there were still a lot of cars on the road, but Fu Qichuan's speed increased instead of decreasing!
Faster and faster!
"Fu Qichuan!"
I suddenly woke up and grabbed the upper handrail, "Drive slower!"
He seemed to smell it.
His lips were pursed into a thin line, and his hands, with distinct knuckles, gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging out, as if he was trying to vent some emotion.
Only then did I realize that he had just been suppressing and enduring it.
Fortunately, he was driving back to his old house. After passing the downtown area, there was obviously less traffic on the road and it was relatively safe.
I couldn't stop him, so I just slumped back into the seat.
I kept thinking about what my grandfather told me.
Before, Grandpa didn't agree with Fu Qichuan and Fu Jin'an being together, just because he thought she was a little complicated, but today... it seemed completely different.
What did Fu Jinan say to grandpa?
When the car drove into the old house, I got out and was about to leave. Fu Qichuan caught up with me in two big strides and hugged me in his arms.
My body froze, and he buried his head in my shoulder, saying helplessly, "Nanzhi, stay with me for one night."
"Just one night."
"Please."
Hearing this, the medical record I saw in the study came into my mind, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy, "Tian."
The atmosphere in the old house became heavy. Although grandpa was missing, the whole house suddenly became empty that night.
I returned to the bedroom and took a hot shower. When I came out, I didn't see Fu Qichuan.
When I was sleeping in the second half of the night, someone slowly hugged me from behind. I knew who it was without even turning over.
I don’t know why, but I could sense sadness in every move Fu Qichuan made tonight.
"Are you asleep?"
He asked in a very soft voice, resting his forehead against mine.
I didn't answer, nor did I move. After a moment, I heard his dejected voice, "Nanzhi, I must have disappointed Grandpa. I wasn't even by his side when he was dying."
“…”
He was willing to believe Fu Jinan's lies and poor acting skills.
At this point, I don’t know what to say.
His voice was hoarse, "Grandpa, do you blame me?"
I looked at the moonlight that filtered through the gap in the curtains. "I didn't tell Grandpa that when he was dying, you were there with Fu Jinan, who was pretending to have a stomachache."
This was the first time I realized how cruel I was.
It seems to be comforting, but every word is heartbreaking.
"sorry……"
Fu Qichuan said regretfully, "I just wanted to comfort her and then go to see grandpa."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
I didn't want to say anything harsh, so I just said, "You shouldn't apologize to me. It's not me you should apologize to."
He was silent for a moment behind me, "I'm sorry to you and Grandpa."
My heart ached, and I broke away from him, lying flat on my back, looking at the ceiling.
"Fu Qichuan, sooner or later you will lose more because of her."
There is no need to name who this "she" is, we all know it.
Fu Qichuan was slightly startled, as if he had considered it for a long time before making a decision, "Nanzhi, let's start again."
I suddenly stood up, turned on the light in the dark, and was about to explode when I saw that his eyes were red and transparent liquid was oozing from the corners of his eyes.
Later, he started crying.
All my emotions crumbled at that moment.
After taking a deep breath, he tried his best to speak calmly, "You think this is because of Grandpa's idea. It's completely unnecessary. Grandpa didn't mention this before he left."
He said seriously, "Grandpa Tiantian told me that the young lady of the Fu family can only be you."
"What if,"
I stood by the bed and looked at him. "Grandpa didn't leave today. Do you still remember this sentence? Or, Grandpa hopes that you and Fu Jinan will have no contact. Can you do it?"
He had a sullen face and avoided answering, only throwing out his decision: "In short, we can't divorce."
"Are you here to inform me?"
I was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
