Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 487 - Chapter 487 Chapter 487 Speechless_1

Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Speechless_1 Chapter 487: Chapter 487 Speechless_1 Chen Cuihua was reluctant to leave, even clinging to Nan Fei’s hand in a heartfelt goodbye. In the end, it was Gongxi Heng who gave up on waiting and physically pulled her away.

As they were leaving, Gongxi Yunqi and Wu Huai both shot a stern look at Chen Cuihua before subtly telling Nan Fei to take care of herself. They promised that they would visit her if they found the time.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cuihua, who had been forcibly escorted out, could not resist shouting,” And me! I’ll come tomorrow, and the day after!”

“Remember your place,” came Gongxi Heng’s frustrated voice from outside the door, “This is a hospital. No shouting.”

Then, chaotic footsteps were heard, fading gradually into the distance.

“Nan Fei, I really have to go now!” Gongxi Yunqi gazed intently at Nan Fei, bowing elegantly, “Take care of yourself.”

After saying this, he followed Wu Huai out of the room.

“Wait!” Nan Fei called out.

Gongxi Yunqi turned back, surprise lighting up his eyes.

Nan Fei, upon seeing the sparkle in his eyes, felt a pang of reluctance to utter her words. After a moment of hesitation, she finally said with a gentle smile, “Take care. Remember to look after yourself.”

Gongxi Yunqi instantly grinned, his smile as warm as the softest spring breeze, exuding an intoxicating youthful charm.

“Yes!” He nodded emphatically, “Don’t worry, wait for me…I will return.”

“Goodbye…” Initially, Nan Fei planned to tell him that she wouldn’t wait, that she wasn’t the one he should wait for. But upon seeing the flicker of tears in Gongxi Yunqi’s eyes, she swallowed her harsh words.

He knew it all along!

And she knew too.

Gongxi Yunqi was leaving. From the moment she saw him walk into the hospital room, Nan Fei knew from his gaze he was leaving. If he wasn’t leaving, he wouldn’t have looked at her with such longing, there would have been no reticence.

Such a gaze was contrary to his aloof nature and refined personality.

In her past life, Gongxi Yunqi was too distant from her, they were from different worlds. Hence, she barely knew anything about him, nor did she know whether his departure this time was pre-planned or because of her.

She sincerely hoped it wasn’t because of her.

“Goodbye!” Casting off his melancholy, Gongxi Yunqi briskly exited the room.

At the end of the corridor, Chen Cuihua and Gongxi Heng were engaged in a hushed argument. Ever since they left the room, they had been whispering vehemently. Wu Huai, finding the situation awkward, decided not to get involved and headed off.

“Yun Qi is about to leave the country, can’t you give him one last chance?” Gongxi Heng’s voice was tinged with helplessness.

“Enough! He’s coming,” Gongxi Heng whispered a caution.

“The ‘last chance’ would only hurt him, we’re just not compatible,” Chen Cuihua was a woman, yes, but she was more rational when it came to emotions than anyone. “I understand Nan Fei better than you, and I understand women better.”

How could she not love her son? But when it came to feelings, there simply was no forcing of hearts.

The first time she met Nan Fei, she thought the girl was quite decent: she was a perfect match for her son, and she would have been overjoyed to have Nan Fei as her daughter-in-law.

But after getting to know her, she realized that despite her young age, Nan Fei was surprisingly wise and firm. At that point, she felt that Nan Fei wasn’t like any typical young maiden and did not harbor any unrealistic dreams about love.

There was a subconscious reluctance in her.

Later when she learned that Nan Fei had a fiance, she was stunned. Upon meeting him, she realized her son had no chance at all.

Gongxi Heng laughed ironically, “It may seem impossible now, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be impossible forever.” He looked at his wife with a wise, suggestive smile, “Remember when you used to say we were impossible too? And now?”

At that, Chen Cuihua was rendered speechless.
