"Hmm." Li Bingchen nodded, waiting to hear what the Queen was really up to.
The Queen's smile softened further: "Since you've made your decision to marry this girl, and told her and her family that you'll take care of her for the rest of your life, then you must be devoted to her wholeheartedly. You can't be like those..." The Queen glanced at His Majesty the King and continued, "You can't be like those weak-willed men outside, fickle, prone to novelty-seeking, and even causing... 'human death'."
Do you understand?
Although he knew that the Queen's words were a veiled reference to his father and himself, this attitude was actually what he wanted to express to the Gu family. So, he nodded and said sincerely, "Bingchen knows. Bingchen will definitely treat Yunduo well. Whether she is asleep or awake, I will take care of her and love her for the rest of my life, and treat her as a part of my own life."
The Gu Shaoyong couple and the Yun Dazheng couple were all very pleased, and even Gu Chonghu nodded approvingly. His Majesty the King, however, looked quite displeased, and Her Majesty the Queen... felt a little sour. However, these words were exactly what she wanted, so she was satisfied as well.
So Her Majesty the Queen nodded and looked at Li Bingchen, continuing, "You've always been a good child. We in the royal family value keeping our word, so naturally, your mother believes in your sincerity. I also believe that neither you nor Yunduo are unfortunate children. After the storm comes the calm, and I believe that one day Yunduo will come to her senses, and you two will surely live a happy and fulfilling life."
His Majesty the King's face was so red it could be squeezed out of water: "The children are still young, not even of legal marriage age yet, to call them a young couple is a bit premature."
The Queen smiled sweetly at His Majesty the King and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this just a matter of time?" She paused, then looked at Li Bingchen and asked, "Don't you think so, Bingchen?"
Although he knew the Queen's words were not well-intentioned, Li Bingchen still nodded and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Yun Duo and I will definitely be happy for the rest of our lives."
"Who wants to be with you for the rest of their life?"
A very abrupt sentence rang out in the ward. The voice sounded very weak and hoarse, but it was like a clap of thunder in spring, striking everyone's heart hard.
A tear silently rolled out of Li Bingchen's eye, dripped down, hit the ground, and shattered into pieces.
"Yun Duo, why did you only wake up now? Our engagement ceremony is already over. You missed it yourself, so you can't blame anyone else." Li Bingchen said, his lips trembling and his voice choked with emotion.
"It's okay, it's okay, we'll do it again, we'll do it again. I'll do whatever grand ceremony you want." Zhou Huiyu was overjoyed and burst into tears. She wiped away her tears, which seemed to fall like beads from a broken string, and said incoherently.
"Yes, we must do it, we'll do it no matter what, Dad has money." Gu Shaoyong was also very excited, his hands supporting Zhou Huiyu were trembling slightly, and his eyes were unconsciously moist.
Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi could only nod; they couldn't even speak anymore.
Gu Chonghu laughed heartily and said loudly, "Good, as expected of my granddaughter Gu Chonghu, she can wake up even with blood flowing from her head. It's true that I, your granddaughter, have no other descendants than my Gu family's!"
The king's expression immediately changed, and he said with undisguised joy, "Shaoyong, the engagement ceremony must be held again, but you can't do it. It has to be me, the groom's father. We can't do anything against the rules!"
Only the queen's face was ashen, and she wished she could knock Yunduo unconscious again.
