Qian Lan held tightly to Mo Zichen’s hand. It turned out, they had so many misunderstandings between them.
She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t moved apartments. Perhaps, they would have missed out on each other – forever…
That night, Qian Lan cried for a long time. By the time she fell asleep, the sun was already up.
As usual, Mo Zichen helped her prepare some water to wash her face. But, it didn’t take long before there was a commotion outside the room. Mo Zichen looked outside and saw the Qian Family had found their way to the hospital and were demanding to see Qian Lan.
From Mo Zichen’s memory, this family had extreme favoritism for the rich and controlled their daughter like bloodsuckers.
Previously, when Father Qian was the mayor, this was rather obvious. But, now that they had been dragged off their high horse, they had to lay low.
Mo Zichen didn’t know if everyone else had changed, but Mother Qian changed for sure.
After contracting a serious illness, Mother Qian saw through many things and right now, Mo Zichen only saw Mother Qian.
After Mother Qian saw Mo Zichen taking care of Qian Lan, she immediately felt a lot more relaxed. So, she dragged Mo Zichen to one side and said, “In the past, I was the one that wronged you. Zichen, you need to forgive me.”
“Auntie, it’s not that serious.”
“Yes, it is that serious,” Mother Qian suddenly started crying. “After you marry Qian Lan, don’t come in contact with anyone else from the Qian Family. Otherwise, you might as well join the army as well.”
Mo Zichen did not understand what Mother Qian meant by this.
“You don’t know this, but four years ago, when the Qian Family was destroyed, the entire family migrated because we were afraid of bankruptcy. But, because we had no money, Xu Chunhao ended up divorcing Qian Hui and abandoned her. Afterwards, Qian Lan’s father got addicted to gambling and started dreaming about rebuilding his business.”
“He hasn’t come looking for you because you’re not married yet and he doesn’t want to lose you.”
“Listen to me, don’t let Qian Lan’s father find you.”
“Qian Lan escaped to the military because she wanted to be free from that family.”
“I hope she never sees her father again.”
“Especially when it’s bad for one’s reputation to have a gambling addict as a father.”
After hearing this, Mo Zichen did not say a thing. He simply handed Mother Qian a tissue.”
It seemed, these past few years, the Qian Family had gone through quite a struggle.
“About your illness…”
At the mention of her illness, Mother Qian revealed a bitter smile, “My illness is incurable so I don’t want to waste any resources on it. It’s already reassuring to know that Qian Lan has found a good partner. Even if my eyes close forever, I won’t regret it.”
“I simply hate that I stopped you guys from being together in the past!”
“Qian Lan’s struggled a lot in the last few years.”
“Zichen, don’t blame her and don’t blame us…”
As he looked at Mother Qian’s teary eyes, Mo Zichen shook his head, “Everything’s in the past, I will continue to be with Qian Lan; I will protect her and take care of her. Don’t worry Auntie.”
“With these words, I have nothing to worry about. I came today to take a glance at Qian Lan. The hospital called me, so I secretly came here without anyone knowing.”
Although Qian Lan requested not to tell her family about her injury, the hospital still had the responsibilty to do so.
“I’ve seen her now, and with you here, I have nothing to worry about, so I’m leaving.”
After speaking, Mother Qian stood up to leave, but Mo Zichen held her back.
“You’re not going to wait for her to wake up?”
