After arranging everything, Rong Mo packed his things, grabbed his car keys, and headed to the hospital.
When they passed a restaurant, Rong Mo got out of the car and packed some light food to go.
Upon arriving at the ward door, Rong Mo knocked but received no response. He then pushed the door open and found that Mu Ziqi was not inside, and Gu Qingyan was nowhere to be seen either.
He turned and walked towards Gu Suian's ward.
As soon as he reached the door, Rong Mo heard Mu Ziqi's suppressed sobs.
He sighed and knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in." Mu Ziqi's voice was clearly choked with sobs.
"Aunt Mu." Rong Mo walked in carrying a large bag of takeout food insulated bags and greeted her gently.
"Xiao Mo? What brings you here?" Mu Ziqi thought it was Gu Qingyan who had returned, but she was clearly taken aback when she saw Rong Mo.
She quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Gu Suian, lying on the hospital bed, was pale. He nodded slightly to Rong Mo and said softly, "Xiao Mo, sit down quickly. It's so cold outside, and you've gone to all this trouble. You've really worked hard."
"It's alright, Uncle. I'm relieved to see you're feeling better." Rong Mo waved his hand to stop Mu Ziqi, who wanted to help carry things, and said softly, "Auntie, I'll do it. You should rest well and not carry heavy things."
After saying that, Rong Mo walked to the table, took out the takeout boxes one by one, and placed them on the table. "Auntie, I don't know what you and Uncle like to eat, but the doctor told us to eat a light diet, so I went to the restaurant on my way and brought over a few kinds of meat porridge and side dishes. You and Uncle can choose the flavors you like to eat."
"Thank you, Xiao Mo." Mu Ziqi wiped away her tears, looked at the lunch boxes on the table, and said with some emotion, "It's just too much trouble for you. You've already taken care of so much for your uncle, so don't worry about these little things. Your uncle and I are fine and can take care of ourselves. It's so cold outside, you didn't need to come all this way."
Just then, Gu Qingyan pushed open the door and entered.
Looking at the table full of food, Gu Qingyan frowned but didn't say anything. He strode into the house and placed the takeout containers on a chair.
Seeing this, Rong Mo placed the lunch boxes on the table more compactly, leaving some space, and said, "I just happened to be passing by, so I brought some food with me."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Qingyan didn't say much, just focused on arranging the items.
After Gu Qingyan finished preparing, she sat down in front of the hospital bed with a bowl of porridge and patiently fed Gu Suian spoonful by spoonful.
The meal was eaten quietly. Gu Qingyan remained silent throughout, while Mu Ziqi looked at Rong Mo, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
“Auntie, Zhi Qiu is fine. Don’t worry.” Rong Mo noticed Mu Ziqi’s worry, put down his chopsticks, and said gently.
Gu Qingyan paused, her hand holding the food hesitated, her throat bobbed, and she looked up at Rong Mo, waiting for him to continue.
Rong Mo looked at Gu Qingyan, still holding back his anger, but for Mu Ziqi's sake, he just frowned and didn't look at him.
"Xiao Mo, I'm so sorry." Mu Ziqi also put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "Once your Uncle Gu is better, your Uncle Gu and I will take Qingyan back to Nancheng."
I won't cause you any more trouble.
Mu Ziqi sighed again as she spoke, "Originally, your Uncle Gu and I were hoping to visit the children this time and ease the tension between Qingyan and Zhiqiu. We don't expect the two children to be able to reconcile, we just hope that we can show them some care together."
But I never expected something like this to happen. It's because our family hasn't raised our child well. Don't worry, we've already discussed it. After we go home this time, your Uncle Gu and I won't let Qingyan come to the capital alone to bother Zhi Qiu again.”
With that, Mu Ziqi looked at Gu Qingyan coldly and said, "Qingyan, you made a promise to me last night. In front of Xiao Mo, you have to keep your word!"
"Hmm." After several seconds, Gu Qingyan nodded and squeezed out a single word, "I know."
Rong Mo glanced at Gu Suian lying on the hospital bed. Gu Suian's eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was very forlorn when he heard Mu Ziqi's words.
Rong Mo sighed inwardly. He pondered for a moment, then looked up at Mu Ziqi gently and said softly, "Auntie, if you and Uncle miss the children, you can come to the capital to visit them anytime."
I think that's what Zhi Qiu really meant. Although the children don't have the Gu surname, they are still of the Gu family bloodline, and Zhi Qiu hopes that the children can receive their grandparents' love. Besides, you and Uncle Gu love Zhi Qiu so much, you will definitely love these two children in return.
You and your uncle haven't seen the children yet, nor have you held them in your arms.
"Once Uncle has recovered a bit, I'll come pick you up and take you home to see the children before heading back to Nancheng."
"Really? Is it possible?" Having given up hope, Gu Suian suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Rong Mo with anticipation.
“Of course you can.” Rong Mo nodded with a smile. “Zhi Qiu felt the same way. She is very grateful for your kindness and care, and she remembers it all. As the children’s grandparents, you have the right to visit them, and she won’t stop you.”
Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, listened with his head down, and didn't say anything.
After finishing his meal, Rong Mo chatted with Mu Ziqi and Gu Suian for a while before getting up to take his leave.
Gu Qingyan suddenly stood up and whispered to Rong Mo, "Let me take you home. Thank you for coming all this way to see my parents."
Mu Ziqi, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment and gave Gu Qingyan a warning look. Gu Qingyan looked away and avoided her gaze.
“Okay.” Rong Mo readily agreed. He could tell that Gu Qingyan wanted to talk to him privately, and he also wanted to see what Gu Qingyan wanted to say.
After closing the door, the two walked side by side toward the elevator. Gu Qingyan didn't speak, and Rong Mo didn't look at him either. The atmosphere was awkward the whole way.
Only when they reached the elevator did Gu Qingyan whisper, "I'm sorry."
Rong Mo looked at him coldly.
"I'm sorry to Zhi Qiu." Gu Qingyan pursed his lips and continued, "So, I thought about it for a long time last night. If I hadn't acted impulsively, Zhi Qiu wouldn't have encountered so many things, and her wound wouldn't have reopened because of me."
Moreover, my dad didn't know how to have surgery or be hospitalized, and he almost died.
It all started because of me. I'm so sorry to all of you.
So, I've thought it through very clearly. I should stay away from Zhi Qiu. Only if I stay away from her can Zhi Qiu be happier. I shouldn't be angry about Lu Jia either. I was the one who made a mistake first, and I have no right to be angry or throw a tantrum. I'm truly sorry.
