Chapter 985: Chapter 985: I Won’t Touch You After Marriage 1 More Subscription Request (1)

Inside the ward of Yuncheng First Hospital:

Qin Mu pressed his thin lips into a line, staring at the frail old man in front of him. The old master was still unconscious.

Now that the old master was in trouble, he longed to see Qin Mu married and established.

Hmm... married and established.

Wanted to see him have children...

Alright, he could have them.

As long as the old master could live to a ripe old age.

But... he had once been young and reckless, foolishly declaring that he would marry no one but Jian Ran in this lifetime. In the end... he was defeated by the old master’s condition.

Qin Mu’s lips curled into a bitter smile, his heart a complicated tangle of emotions.

"Grandpa, I beg you... stay healthy, live a long life..."

...

Qin Mu noticed the old master’s complexion looking pale and said softly, "Old man, let me go fetch you a basin of water... I’ll give you a wipe... so you can sleep more comfortably... You’re sick now... you’re our ancestor... you’re the biggest."

After saying that, Qin Mu took off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt before heading to the bathroom.

As the sound of the bathroom door closing echoed, the old master, who had been resting on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes.

This time... falling ill, being hospitalized, and being resuscitated.

Half-truths and half-lies...

The old master’s gaze was complex, his thin lips pressed tight.

Qin San... trust me, Mu Wan is absolutely the best wife I can choose for you.

Hmm... the most precious treasure.

I believe the two of you will end up together. With Mu Wan’s heart set on loving Qin Mu, I am confident... they will flourish and bear fruit.

That girl seems soft and fragile on the surface... but in truth, she has an incredibly strong inner core.

To love a man in secret for so many years, yet know how to tuck her feelings away in the corners of her own heart.

A girl like her, that’s the true strength.

...

The next day, when the old master woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.

Ma Jin and Gu Mochen had already arrived at the scene, along with Tang Baobao.

Tang Bao was still somewhat afraid of hospitals and stayed tightly held in Gu Mochen’s arms all the time...

The moment the old master opened his eyes, the entire family let out a collective sigh of relief, especially Qin Mu...

Bloodshot black eyes revealed Qin Mu had not slept all night; he looked utterly exhausted.

"Grandpa... you’re awake?"

"Hmph... I thought you might come and tell me I was dead already... You probably wish I were dead, don’t you? My old bones are half buried in the yellow earth, dying wouldn’t be the worst thing..."

Qin Mu: "..."

Ever since the old master had suddenly been hospitalized, Qin Mu had been very sensitive about his remarks like these. Hearing him speak so grimly, Qin Mu immediately said, "Old man... I beg you... stop spouting nonsense. You will live a long life."

"Hmph... Then Qin San... what about the marriage with the Wu Family girl? If you don’t agree, I’m sure you’ll be the death of me sooner or later."

Though the old master had heard Qin Mu agree to the marriage the previous night, he still purposely put on this act. Qin Mu was too clever; if he didn’t disguise it perfectly, it would be too easy for Qin Mu to see through him.

Qin Mu’s thin lips pressed into a line as he heard the old master’s words. His gaze fell not far away, landing on Jian Ran, full of meaning. After a long pause, he finally said, "Hmm... marriage... let’s set it for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. The date... you can decide it yourself. The most important thing is your health... You must take good care of yourself and join my wedding."
