It was obvious that this man was willing to treat her sincerely. That was enough.
“Uncle, what will you do if you find out that I lied to you one day?”
Mao Nana still chose to ask Qu Xiujie if he really found out that the Mao Nana he knew now was different from the Mao Nana he knew back then, would there be a huge difference?
“Then lie to me. I have nothing to lie to you about.”
Qu Xiujie spread his hands. Although he was already mentally prepared for the greatest comfort, he still chose to trust the person he cared about the most when his eyes were filled with sadness and tears.
“Nana, if that day ever comes, I think you already know what I want.”
Qu Xiujie turned around and faced Mao Nana as he continued, “Nana, you were the one who chased after me in the past. Now, it’s my turn to chase after you. I’m a man and I want to give you a sky and a warm family. All these years, I’ve lived alone. I don’t know how to relate to a girl and I don’t know why the heavens have treated me so well and arranged for such a beautiful girl to come to my side. I think this is the reason why I want to work hard now. I want to work hard to give you the life and future you want.”
“Uncle, you…”
Mao Nana was so touched that she did not know what to say. She widened her eyes and could not hold back the tears in her eyes. In her heart, the name ‘Da Liang’ did not leave anything behind in the dark private room in R City.
“Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be here. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore, okay?”
Qu Xiujie walked forward and hugged Mao Nana in his arms. The familiar warmth and aura flowed around her quietly.
“Okay.”
Mao Nana choked on her tears. Her reason for persistence had finally bore fruit, which gave her courage to rely on him when she was alone and helpless. After so many years of drifting, even she did not expect that she would choose to go with Qu Xiujie.
This time, she had really chosen Qu Xiujie. She wanted to have someone she liked and the person she liked wanted to give her a home. With a home, she would have all the courage to work outside on her own.
While Mao Nana and Qu Xiujie were working hard for their future, Tang Xiaoyu, who was overseas with her daughter, yearned for a home that belonged to her and her daughter. In this family, there was no Mr Li or Gu Zhengrong.
“Xiaoyu, take a look at this doc.u.ment. You can go on stage for tomorrow’s meeting.”
Mr Li placed a doc.u.ment in front of Tang Xiaoyu. With a benevolent gaze, he looked at Duo Duo who was sitting in the pram at the side and laughed out loud. “Duo Duo is really getting more and more beautiful. She hasn’t even opened her mouth yet, but she’s already able to attract so many little brothers. Duo Duo, if you grow up in the future, will you forget grandpa?”
The more Mr Li looked at Duo Duo, the happier he became. He wished he could let go of all the business in the company and stay by Duo Duo’s side. He wanted to leave his best wishes around this child.
“Mr Li, you’ve bought too many things for the child. She’s still young and doesn’t need that much. When she grows up…”
“When Duo Duo grows up in the future, whatever she needs, she will have me. I will give her whatever she wants. If she wants the world, I will give it to her. Duo Duo, right?”
The smile on Duo Duo’s face as she lay in the pram made one feel happy. Indeed, her baby-like laughter was even more touching. In this world, babies were the purest creatures.
“Grandpa will give Duo Duo whatever she wants, okay?”
Mr Li smiled and squatted down. His benevolent face did not last for more than a few minutes before he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He clutched his s.h.i.+rt tightly and moaned.
“Mr Li, what’s wrong?”
Tang Xiaoyu quickly put down the doc.u.ments in her hands, only to be seen by an uninvited guest at the door.
“I’m not… I’m fine.”
Mr Li waved his hand, indicating that he was really fine.
Recently, the pain in his chest had been getting more and more severe. Sometimes it came in waves and sometimes it was a sudden pain. However, it did not last long. This pain had accompanied Mr Li for a very long time.
Mr Li already had these symptoms even before he met Tang Xiaoyu.
“You guys…”
Gu Zhengrong stood at the door and saw Tang Xiaoyu looking at Mr Li nervously. His heart suddenly felt as though it was being tugged at and he wished he could separate their bodies. Tang Xiaoyu’s nervous look grew bigger and bigger in his mind until his mind was filled with Tang Xiaoyu looking at Mr Li nervously.
“Why are you here?”
Tang Xiaoyu looked up and saw Gu Zhengrong standing at the door. However, she did not notice that her hands were tightly intertwined with Mr Li’s. A hint of uneasiness flashed across her eyes when she first saw Gu Zhengrong.
“Xiaoyu, you and Mr. Li?”
Gu Zhengrong looked up and saw Duo Duo quietly looking at him from the pram not far away from them. Her eyes were filled with baby-like curiosity, and she even laughed out loud when she saw Gu Zhengrong.
“Butler, how did Mr Gu come in?”
Tang Xiaoyu helped Mr Li to the sofa and hurried over to see the butler. The butler was wearing an ap.r.o.n and holding a freshly cut rose from the garden. He stood at the door with a confused look on his face. When he saw Gu Zhengrong standing not far away from him, he quickly placed the rose on the table beside him and put on his gloves before walking over to Gu Zhengrong.
“Sir, we didn’t let you in. Please leave.”
“I’ll leave, Xiaoyu. I hope that you can come talk to me when you’re free. There are some things that only the two of us can know.”
The moment Gu Zhengrong turned around, he looked at Mr Li, who was lying on the sofa in pain, and continued, “I’m afraid Mr Li’s illness has been going on for quite some time. You should quickly bring him to the hospital.”
With that, he left the house. The moment he left, Mr Li’s pained expression eased.
“Mr Li, how are you now? Does it still hurt?”
