Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 1118 - 1121: Simple Happiness Is Everywhere 11

"This isn’t about letting go for one or two months. What if it never gets better? What if there are no visible improvements? What if the treatment takes one year, two years? By then, what will happen to the family? I have to make all the arrangements carefully to ensure there’s no room for errors. Even if I am away for a year or two, things cannot fall apart. I need to be able to control everything from the hospital bed, command the situation, stabilize the entire Gu Family, and make sure no one dares to act recklessly in front of me. Do you understand?"

Chenxing understood, but she didn’t want to understand!

"I only wish for you to be healthy. I don’t want to understand anything else."

He kissed her forehead and softly negotiated with her, "Give me another month to handle everything, to have everything in the palm of my hand. By then, I will focus wholeheartedly on the treatment. What do you think?"

"I’m not the kind of man who can sit idly by and turn a blind eye to the world outside the window. I have a strong sense of ambition, a strong desire for control. Over the years, the Gu Family has thrived under my leadership, reaching its zenith. I savor the pleasure that success brings me. I can’t stand by and watch it crumble one day under my watch, nor can I allow anyone to take away the empire I’ve fought so hard to build."

"So, give me one more month, or even half a month. By then, I’ll accept the doctor’s advice, and we’ll peacefully spend the entire winter in this little villa... welcoming spring... waiting for summer. By then, our son should be born, and then we can name him together..."

"A year from now, when our son begins to speak, I will personally teach him to pronounce words. I want to hear how he says his very first ’Daddy’... When our son learns to walk, I want to hold his hand, protect him, and encourage him to take bold steps forward. I’ll tell him not to fear falling, that a real man must be brave..."

He slowly painted one picture after another, each full of hope and longing.

Chenxing’s thoughts drifted along with his words involuntarily...

She couldn’t help it. Her heart quivered slightly. The images in her mind were so beautiful, so beautiful that she held her breath, afraid that if she even breathed too heavily, those precious images would scatter into the air like mist.

Suddenly, warmth surged through her heart, rising in gentle waves.

She was completely convinced by him. At last, she nodded. "Alright then, one month at most. After a month, you absolutely mustn’t delay anymore. If you drag it out any longer, you won’t be able to teach our son how to walk."

She softly added, in a delicate whisper, "Shaocheng, I love you. I’ll always stay by your side, forever and ever."

"And you still won’t eat me?" To her surprise, just as she spilled those deeply affectionate words, the man responded with this line that left her speechless.

At this moment, wasn’t he supposed to say something like, ’I love you too’?

But he had already switched gears, blinking his eyes pitifully, uttering suggestive words with an otherwise straight-laced demeanor. Tightening his grip around her waist, he stared into her eyes and pressed eagerly, "So? Will you eat me or not?"

She huffed, "No."

What she didn’t expect was that in the very next second, the man pushed her aside a bit, turned slightly, and reached out his hand. Through the fabric of his clothes, he grabbed at his own lower half. Right in front of her, he moved his hand up and down a couple of times. While trying to relieve his own mounting tension, he muttered to himself in self-pity, "In this day and age, truly, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

"......"

His sidelong glance carried a hint of a blush, his misty eyes gently closing as he grumbled with a playful tone, "In the future, when you beg me, I won’t eat you either. Let you suffer for a change. Serves you right for being so ruthless and refusing to eat me."

"............"
