Neither Mu Yuxiu nor Wen Wan fell asleep that night, fearing that if they slept until dawn, they would miss something and never see Mu Zhenghong again.
Both of them knew what the other was thinking, and Wen Wan even knew that if Mu Zhenghong passed away, the saddest person in the world would be Mu Yuxiu.
"Ah Xiu, don't worry too much. I see that grandpa is still in good health. At least... he can last for a while." Apart from that, Wen Wan could not say any other words of comfort.
Mu Yuxiu just tightened his arms and hugged her.
With her face pressed against his chest, she could hear the violent vibrations in his chest. His heart must have been turbulent and difficult to calm down.
Wen Wan's eyes were sore, and she rubbed her head against him while holding back tears.
It was so fluffy that it made Mu Yuxiu feel like the cat he once had, acting coquettishly in his arms.
His big hands suddenly clasped her waist, flattened her body, turned her over and pressed her under him, what was surging in his unfathomable eyes, "Wenwan, will you leave me?"
"I won't! Ash, I won't leave you, not in this life." Wen Wan shook her head and said with firmness in her tone, like a vow.
Even if she really couldn't accompany him for such a long life, or maybe it was only for a few years, at this moment, she still wanted to tell him that she would never leave him.
If possible, she would look at her Ah Xiu in the sky. In short, whether in life or in death, she would not let him live alone in this world.
Mu Yuxiu smiled slowly, a smile from the heart, and at the same time his tense body relaxed.
His heavy body completely pressed against Wen Wan, and he buried his head in her hair, smelling the fragrance of her hair. His heart calmed down, but his voice was hoarse, with such deep helplessness and sadness, "I'm so afraid of Wen Wan."
Wan, my mother and grandma are both gone, and I’m afraid grandpa will leave me too..."
Wen Wan stretched out her arms and hugged Mu Yuxiu's head, letting him lie on her chest, "It will be okay. Ah Xiu, believe me, grandpa will not leave us so soon."
He said a dull "hmm" and said nothing more.
In the following time, the two of them kept paying attention to the movements outside and staring at the closed door. They were no longer so afraid of someone knocking on the door at this moment.
I hope that the time will be longer and it will never get brighter, so that grandpa can live forever. I also hope that the time will be shorter, because maybe if grandpa survives tonight, nothing will happen to him again.
When it was just dawn, Mu Yuxiu figured it was time for his grandfather to get up and exercise. After getting dressed, he immediately went downstairs and went straight to the yard without even having time to wash up.
In the cold winter weather, the surrounding scenery was covered with a layer of white frost, and the old man with his back to him was doing Tai Chi in the morning light.
The movement is slow, but it carries an invisible force.
Mu Yuxiu looked at his grandfather's back, which was still upright. He felt like his throat was on fire, making him unable to make any sound.
Wen Wan followed from behind. After seeing this scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
She reached out and held Mu Yuxiu's hand.
Mu Yuxiu turned his head, his dark eyes flashed, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
The sun pierced the clouds and slowly rose from the east. The orange-red light filled the courtyard, the brows, eyes, hair and shoulders of several people.
The time is quiet.
***
Time passed by and it was the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
During this period, Wen Wan took on several cases, fought several lawsuits, and almost never lost a lawsuit. She showed her prominence in the legal profession and became more and more famous.
Various companies and enterprises, as well as several well-known law firms in T city, sent her invitations one after another, but she rejected them all for various reasons.
On the other hand, because the last trial of Shen Du's murder of Dong Weizhuang was overturned by Wen Wan, the police once again launched a new round of investigation.
According to regulations, Shen Du will be detained for at least half a month during this period.
Wen Wan and Mu Yuxiu agreed to release Shen Du on bail at that time, and simply keep Shen Du in jail, which would provide an extra guarantee for Mu Yuxiu's safety.
The case of the suspect Lu Weihang is being investigated. It is reported that Lu Weihang was almost missing several times, but his whereabouts are still unknown so far.
In the past few days, Sheng Qizhou called several times. Wen Wan would hang up directly at first, but later she got fed up and blacklisted Sheng Qizhou.
Although Sheng Qizhou had many ways to find Wen Wan, he was still an aloof person after all, and he did not bother with Wen Wan again in the next few days.
At the end of November, Mu Yuxiu went to a certain city for a business trip at noon and said on the phone that he would be back at eight o'clock in the evening.
Wenwan went to the supermarket to do some shopping, and when she came out, an unknown number called her personal contact number.
Wen Wan guessed that it was Sheng Qizhou again and originally wanted to hang up. Remembering her agreement with Sheng Qizhou, she answered the phone anyway and said lukewarmly: "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, I don't want to have surgery." Thank you for arranging for me so wholeheartedly. I have let down your kindness. You, the second young master, have a distinguished status and don’t pay attention to an ignorant woman like me. That’s it. Goodbye."
Since the last time they met in the hospital, Sheng Qizhou finally heard a gentle voice, but unexpectedly, he was poured cold water on her. He, who had always been good-tempered, was finally angry.
Before Wen Wan hung up, he raised his voice and asked eagerly: "Wen Wan, why? Didn't we agree? Are you worried that the operation will fail? Don't worry, I hired experts in this field and asked Chi Beizhe to It was specially established for you..."
"Second Young Master, I think you still don't understand." Wen Wan interrupted Sheng Qizhou. She stood in the cold air with no expression on her face, "I no longer accept the heart you provide, not because I gave up. own life."
Sheng Qizhou was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this. It was the first time in so many years that he couldn't control someone. His expression was a little dazed, "What's the reason for that?"
Wen Wan raised her head and saw the time scrolling on the screen opposite her. She was silent for a few seconds and said, "Does Second Young Master have time? I think it will be clearer if we talk about some things in person."
After Sheng Qizhou asked where Wen Wan was, he found the nearest cafe and said, "Wait for me there. I'll rush there in ten minutes."
He just hung up the phone when He Yi reminded him that the meeting time was up.
"Cancel." Sheng Qizhou dropped these two words and felt an unprecedented anxiety in his heart.
If providing Wen Wan's heart was a medium for him to get closer to Wen Wan, then now Wen Wan suddenly refused to accept it, which made him lose his former calmness and opinions.
Sheng Qizhou raised his white jade-like fingers and rubbed his forehead. After a while, he pressed the phone again and said, "Ayi, drive me to the coffee shop."
After he rushed over as quickly as possible, Wen Wan was already waiting for him somewhere by the window.
She was holding her chin, looking out the window, leaving half of her face in profile.
The unrolled curly hair spread on her chest and shoulders, giving her a very lazy look, which also made her delicate and exquisite facial features. Looking from the side, the arc from her eyebrows to her chin is very graceful. When the light shines down, she becomes even more charming.
soft.
Sheng Qizhou's pale eyes deepened gradually. He walked over in a few steps and sat across from Wen Wan. Seeing that Wen Wan did not order a drink, he naturally called the waiter, "What do you want to drink?"
Wen Wan withdrew her gaze.
She has always been a polite person and would look at the other person seriously when speaking. This moment was no exception. She shook her head at Sheng Qizhou and said, "Thank you, Young Master, but I have to go back to cook. After saying a few words
Just leave."
The implication is that I'm not asking you to have coffee, and I don't have time to talk to you more.
Sheng Qizhou paused with his fingers and felt as if his heart had been stabbed. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Then black coffee will be fine."
Wen Wan glanced over with a sarcastic look, but she also left him a bit of face and said nothing more.
She was alienated and indifferent, but Sheng Qizhou couldn't calm down in his heart. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. He still couldn't help but ask: "Wen Wan, if you weren't worried about the failure of the operation, why did you give up suddenly?"
"I didn't expect that the Second Young Master, such a smart person, couldn't even figure out this problem, or maybe you never realized where you were wrong." When Wen Wan said this, Sheng Qizhou frowned.
She shook her head and smiled, "Sure enough, for someone like Er Shao who will do anything to achieve his goals, you will always feel that everything you do is right and all your pursuits are natural."
The expression on Sheng Qizhou's face turned into his usual arrogance, "You're right. In this world, I am the only one who controls others, and others cannot question me, so Wen Wan, you have gone in such a big circle, what exactly do you want to say? I
What kind of person he is, what does it have to do with me providing my heart to you?"
This is not due to his lack of IQ, but because he believes that he is saving Wen Wan's life. Apart from worrying about the failure of the operation, Wen Wan has no other position to refuse.
"Did you arrange that female security guard that day?" Wen Wan stopped beating around the bush and asked with a serious face: "And your purpose of doing this is not only to retaliate against Mu Qinghan, but you also want to use several members of the Mu family to break up me and
Mu Yuxiu also made Mu Yuxiu misunderstand me."
The smile on Sheng Qizhou's lips froze when he heard this. After a while, he looked at Wen Wan and calmly said, "I did it. If you are referring to this matter and I am wrong, then I ask you
, where did I go wrong? I just like you and want you. Everyone has the right to pursue love. I just used some tricks. Can you blame me for being wrong?"
"Do you like me? Does your liking mean pushing me into that situation, and letting a few people force me to commit suicide?" Wen Wan sneered, her tone becoming more sarcastic, "Sheng Qizhou, from the beginning to now, what you call
Like, the so-called wanting me means using all means to keep pushing me to the forefront, and then you show up in time and save me, right? If that's the case, your love is really terrible!"
Sheng Qizhou's face darkened and he sneered coldly, "I tried my best? Didn't Mu Yuxiu? How many things did he do to hurt you in order to get you? Why don't you care? It's just because you love
Mu Yuxiu, if you love me, no matter how much I do to hurt you, you will still follow me wholeheartedly. To put it bluntly, Wen Wan, women like you have masochistic tendencies."
