Sang Qianqian bade him farewell and left in a hurry.
Song Yu’s impression of Sang Qianqian had changed a lot. He specially sent her to the door and asked a few more questions about the inspection. When he turned around and returned to his room, his eyes could not hide his excitement.
He strode over to Yuan Shuang. “I asked Miss Sang just now. She said that the examination wasn’t too complex. According to the examination results, the doctor can determine whether you can be cured in a single session or not. I’ll take you for a checkup in the next two days.”
Yuan Shuang shook her head. “I don’t want to go.”
“Why?”
Song Yu couldn’t understand. “The hospital Miss Sang works in is one of the most famous hospitals in the capital. Moreover, she took the initiative to contact the hospital’s best specialists for us. So why not go? Wouldn’t it be great if you could get your eyes treated?”
“My eyes aren’t that easy to treat.”
…..
Yuan Shuang’s tone was gentle but strangely firm. “I don’t really not want to go.”
“Are you worried about Miss Sang?”
Song Yu sat down opposite her and advised her, “Actually, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just pretend you don’t know her.”
He smiled and said, “You did very well just now. You called me Ah Yu, instead of calling me by my name as you usually do. I’m sure Miss Sang already believes that you’re my wife. Look, she said she was wrong and stopped insisting that you’re that friend of hers.”
Yuan Shuang was slightly startled, his expression somewhat complicated.
At that time, she was too worried that Song Yu would tell her what had happened when he had met her, so she had impulsively blurted out “Ah Yu” to divert his attention.
“Actually, even if you meet your old friends again, you can do the same.”
The smile on Song Yu’s face deepened. “Shuangshuang, why don’t you call me Ah Yu from now on?”
Yuan Shuang pursed her lips and did not continue on this topic. “You already knew my ident.i.ty, didn’t you? When was that?”
“About a week after I brought you home,” Song Yu answered honestly.
The headlines were all about the Ruan family in Beijing, and Song Yu couldn’t help but pay attention.
On the mountain peak, the dead Ruan Cheng and the missing Ruan family’s Second Miss.
Song Yu wasn’t sure at first, but after she woke up and said her name was Yuan Shuang, Song Yu thought for a moment and naturally guessed who she was.
The air was silent for a while before Yuan Shuang, or rather Ruan Xiaoshuang’s voice was heard. “Then why have you never asked me?”
“To be honest, it doesn’t matter to me whether your surname is Yuan or Ruan. If you say you’re Yuan Shuang, then I’ll take it as you said.”
Song Yu said gently, “Shuangshuang, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup and see if your eyes can be cured. If they can be cured, then we’ll treat them properly. If not, then we won’t mention it again, okay?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t answer. Instead, she fumbled for the lunchbox from the bag and said, “Let’s eat first. Otherwise, the food will get cold.”
Song Yu took the lunchbox, but still put it aside.
“Shuangshuang, do you know that these past six months have been the happiest days of my life? You don’t know how happy I feel every time someone misunderstands you as my wife.”
Song Yu looked at her deeply and lowered his voice. “I know you’ve encountered a lot of unhappy things in the past, but you don’t have to sacrifice the rest of your life for those things. If you really don’t want to see your old acquaintances or go to Miss Sang’s hospital, then why don’t we leave the capital and find a doctor in another city?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was stunned. “Leave Beijing?”
“Yes, we can move to a city where no one knows you and settle down. I’ll help you find a doctor to cure your eyes. Then, I’ll take you to feel the wind, paint, see the scenery, and go to many, many places…”
Song Yu fantasized pa.s.sionately about the future, “Of course, it doesn’t matter if your eyes can’t be cured. I can be your eyes for the rest of my life.”
As he spoke, he suddenly held her hand tightly. “Shuangshuang, I will always be with you and I will always wait for the day you truly accept me and agree to be my wife…”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s emotions surged, and her heart seemed to be blocked by something. It was sour, but there was also a sense of warmth.
Song Yu had always tolerated her unconditionally, respected her, and understood her. He was very good to her, but he did not care about getting anything in return.
In the past six months, she had been encouraged and guided by him. She had tried to let go of her ident.i.ty and all the heavy things in the past, and lived like an ordinary person.
Gradually, she let go of the knot in her heart and tried to cook. She picked up the piano that she hadn’t touched for many years, listened to Song Yu talk about his paintings, his ideas, the places he had been to, and the interesting things he had encountered.
Her eyes could not see anything, but her heart could see more clearly than ever before. She really enjoyed such a simple life.
There were many times when she would even forget that she was Ruan Xiaoshuang.
On the contrary, she was more used to her other ident.i.ty and was silently reluctant to part with this ordinary warmth she had now.
This warmth had nothing to do with love.
However, it was the life she had always dreamed of- calm, peaceful, and warm.
What did the book she read back then say? Not all the people you loved could spend the rest of your life with you.In the end, the person who was willing to spend the rest of their life with her must be someone who loves her deeply.
Ruan Xiaoshuang thought that she was still lucky.
When she was completely disheartened, she met someone who didn’t care about her past, her ident.i.ty, or even her blindness. Moreover, he spared no effort to treat her well and was willing to stay by her side.
Gently, she held Song Yu’s hand and said, “Ah Yu, we don’t have to leave the capital, and we don’t have to go to another hospital. Tell Miss Sang that I’m willing to go for a checkup.”
If her eyes could be cured, then this happiness would be even more perfect for Song Yu.
She had once used all her strength to love someone, so she was exhausted that she could no longer return the same feelings to Song Yu.
However, she was still willing to make him happy.
After getting Song Yu’s reply, Sang Qianqian immediately contacted a few experts in the Ophthalmology Department.
Usually, these doctors had arrangements for house visits and were free, so they only had time on the weekends.
Given that Sang Qianqian was a colleague of the hospital and that she had come to ask for help, the doctors were rather easygoing and agreed to work overtime on the weekends to help Ruan Xiaoshuang with her joint consultation.
Just like that, the time of the consultation was set for Sat.u.r.day morning, four days later.
Sang Qianqian finally felt relieved.
After work, Sang Qianqian had intended to look for Jinhui’s brother, Yin Jiakui, to chat and ask about the situation, so that she could decide how to send him away.
However, she realized that he wasn’t there this time. The guard said that Yin Jiakui had received a phone call last night and left in a hurry.
Sang Qianqian thought to herself, ‘It’s good that he’s gone. It’s best if he doesn’t come back to look for Jinhui anymore.’
She was about to go home when she received a call from Fang Lan, “Qianqian, if you’re free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me at Imperial Palace?”
Sang Qianqian was surprised. “Is there something you need me for?”
On the other end of the line, Fang Lan smiled and said, “I’m treating you to a meal, but I also have something to discuss with you..”
