Chapter 115: Anything For You
Huo Chenhuan was delighted to receive the video call invitation from Su Yayan. However, his face sank as he heard her cry. “What’s the matter? Who bullied you?”
Then he recalled that Su Yayan said that she was going home to see her grandfather when they parted ways. Huo Chenhuan could not help the lurch in his heart and tentatively asked, “Did your grandfather say anything to you? Is it because of me?”
“No.” Seeing that Huo Chenhuan misunderstood her, Su Yayan hurriedly shook her head. “My grandfather is not as strict as you think. He just said to find a time to meet you. I’m fine, just a little worked up.”
“Worked up?”
Su Yayan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly paused. She took a deep breath and continued cheerfully, “Yes, although I had mentally prepared myself before this that even if my family did not give us their blessing, I would follow through with our decision to the end. But when I saw that they were so understanding and had supported me unconditionally, I realized that I cared about their opinion much more than I thought.
“It is especially true for my grandpa. When I was young, my parents did not have time to look after me. Grandpa practically brought me up singlehandedly. Now that I can get his understanding and support, I feel that a burden has suddenly been lifted off my shoulders, and it makes me so happy.”
Su Yayan spoke the truth, but Huo Chenhuan still sensed that she was hiding something from him. However, he did not press this matter further nor demand her to give him an explanation.
He had learned that Su Yayan had already known that he had liked her for many years from Mr. Su.
Even though he was extremely curious about how Su Yayan came to know this, he still forced himself to be silent over it.
He did not want Su Yayan to think that he was too domineering and authoritative, and he wanted to give her some personal s.p.a.ce.
“They treat you very well, and it is completely reasonable that you will care about their opinions,” Huo Chenhuan said and paused for a moment, “I’m sorry that I embarra.s.sed you.”
“What a silly thing to say! It was originally my own choice. Also, what do you mean by embarra.s.sing me? I don’t think choosing you is something that makes me embarra.s.sed. Do you have so little confidence in yourself?”
Huo Chenhuan stared into Su Yayan’s eyes and said nothing.
Su Yayan read a lot of signs from his look. The words that she had planned to bury at the bottom of her heart had subconsciously surfaced, and she said, “Chenhuan, if… I mean, if there is a way to heal your legs, would you…”
“Does it bother you?”
“What?”
Huo Chenhuan’s focus was obviously a little off. He stared at Su Yayan solemnly and articulated each word clearly, “The condition of my legs. Does it bother you?”
Su Yayan was startled for a moment, and she felt helpless and heartbroken. “It doesn’t bother me at all. No matter what you become, as long as you are Huo Chenhuan, I won’t mind at all. However, you seem to have misunderstood me. I mean, if… if there is a way to cure your legs, would you like to try it?”
Huo Chenhuan saw the expectation in Su Yayan’s eyes, and his heart trembled slightly. He said hoa.r.s.ely, “I am willing to try.”
If he could help it, who would want to be a useless person who even had to rely on others to move around?
Su Yayan’s eyes instantly reddened as she heard him say these words. “I will heal you for sure, I promise.”
Huo Chenhuan was stunned at her declaration, and then he moved the corners of his mouth up into a gentle curve and said softly, “Okay.”
Su Yayan felt amused by his tone that seemed to be comforting her like a child, and she said, “You don’t even know what I’m going to do, yet you agreed?”
“Anything for you.” No matter what she said, he would believe her. Even if this was just a lie that she deliberately spun to make him happy, he was willing to play along with her.
