Chapter 722 I Just Can’t Let It Go
"Is it because of Mr. Yan?" Gu Benhong’s tone carried a bit of understanding, "Maybe Mr. Yan once showed interest in you, but for a man like that, Lady Mu, you should understand whether you can handle it... be careful not to end up with nothing."
Mu Yiliang felt both powerless and amused.
She really wanted to tell Gu Benhong that his son’s biological father was Yan Sijue, but upon thinking, decided it wasn’t necessary.
Gu Benhong just wanted to fulfill Gu Qingqian’s wish. After all, he couldn’t force her to marry Gu Qingqian.
"Mr. Gu, you really misunderstood..." Mu Yiliang thought for a moment and said, "I know you worry about Gu Qingqian, so you want to find someone to take care of him... As a friend, no matter what difficulties he encounters, I won’t stand by and do nothing, you can rest assured... marriage is not the only solution."
Gu Benhong kept a stern face, probably not expecting Mu Yiliang to be so unyielding.
He forced a smile, "Then forgive me for being nosy."
Saying this, he turned and left, his back looking somewhat hunched.
Mu Yiliang sighed.
She turned and saw Gu Qingqian had somehow appeared at the door of the hospital room!
He was leaning on the door frame, his face frighteningly pale.
Mu Yiliang’s expression changed, "Who told you to get up? Your wound just reopened, go back and lie down!"
Gu Qingqian didn’t move an inch.
"Gu Qingqian!"
"Did you know all along?" he said softly.
Mu Yiliang held his arm, her fingertips trembling, "...Is it true? You really..."
"I wasn’t planning to let you know." He smiled lightly, "You don’t need to blame yourself. You’re right; it wasn’t your fault; you just got caught in an unforeseen disaster. If you hadn’t taken me in those few days, Gu Qingyuan wouldn’t have kidnapped you to threaten me."
"Gu Qingqian..." Mu Yiliang felt so upset that she didn’t know what to say.
"You can go, actually I don’t need your care, I’m just unwilling to give up." He laughed at himself, "You don’t have to take to heart what Gu Benhong said. He doesn’t know about your relationship with Yan Sijue."
"You lie down first." Mu Yiliang’s expression looked a bit determined, "I promised to take care of you until you’re discharged, so I’m not leaving!"
Gu Qingqian stared blankly at her.
After a long time, he obediently released the door frame, slowly returned to the side of the hospital bed, and lay down.
Mu Yiliang tucked him in, her voice unusually gentle, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
He shook his head, still staring blankly at her.
Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but say, "Maybe... it’s not that serious, maybe you can be cured."
Gu Qingqian nonchalantly responded, "Mm."
Mu Yiliang felt very powerless. If Gu Qingqian really lost the chance to be a father because of this, she would feel guilty for a lifetime.
But she couldn’t marry him because of that. It wouldn’t be fair to her or to Gu Qingqian.
"You don’t need to keep watching over me all the time." Gu Qingqian suddenly spoke.
"I promised you, as long as your eyes are open, I’ll let you see me." Mu Yiliang remained unmoved.
He seemed to smile a little, then closed his eyes, "Now you can go."
Mu Yiliang was a bit speechless, still sitting there without moving.
Until he started to snore lightly.
Seeing him asleep, Mu Yiliang finally got up and left his ward.
With a slight sound of the door closing, Gu Qingqian on the hospital bed opened his eyes.
He smiled silently, the smile desolate.
