“That is indeed the case, but the prerequisite is that...”he stared at her. “The person must be you.”
Shi Nuannuan was stunned.
“Ah?”
“He has always wanted you to become our family’s granddaughter-in-law, so all this while, I couldn’t bear to tell him that it’s impossible between us.”
“Then it’s impossible for you to keep it from him. It’s impossible for me to marry you.”She lowered her head. Although it was a little cruel, it was still the truth.
Once a white lie was exposed, it might make the old man suffer even more.
“I really AM, but it’s better to keep it a secret than to tell the cruel truth.”
“What about in the end?”
“I’ll keep it a day at a time.”Cheng Huan turned his head and looked at the sky in the distance. Suddenly, it was covered by dark clouds. It was just like how he felt at that moment. He was at a loss, but there was nothing he could do.
Shi Nuannuan looked at him and did not say anything else in the end.
However, he suddenly turned his head. “Can you also do me a Favor?”
She looked up and looked at him with some confusion. “What?”
“Although I can’t marry you, at least, in the time that he has left in his life, don’t say things that are impossible between us. I promise, I won’t really harass you.”
She was stunned for a few seconds and didn’t know how to answer his question.
“But in front of my grandfather, you also know that his body is gradually failing. After a while, he might even have difficulty getting out of bed.”
Shi Nuannuan raised her head abruptly. Was It really that serious?
After thinking about it again, she couldn’t help but agree to Cheng Huan’s request.
After all, she did not spend much time in front of Grandpa Cheng.
“Alright.”
“Thank you.”Looking at her, he revealed a knowing smile.
During lunch, Shi Nuannuan indeed cooperated with Cheng Huan a little, but she still looked a little uncomfortable, especially in her heart. She felt a little guilty.
Shi Yuting and Zuo Weiyi also clearly saw her sudden change, but they did not know why.
Shi Le and Old Master Cheng beamed with joy when they saw the couple. Both of them had a low feeling in their hearts.
On the way home after having lunch at the Cheng Mansion, Zuo Weiyi didn’t have the chance to ask Shi Le about it because Shi le was there. She didn’t go to Nuannuan’s room until she reached the second floor of Shi Mansion and asked her about it.
Nuannuan told her the reason, and Zuo Weiyi, who knew the truth, could not help but feel shocked.
In this world, no matter how powerful you were, the only thing you could not do was to die of old age, illness, and death.
Grandpa Cheng was such a good person, but in the end, he could not withstand the pain of illness.
“Sister-in-law, I feel a little sorry for Xiang Yi.”
“Why?”Zuo Weiyi looked at her unhappy face. “You didn’t do anything. You just didn’t tell Grandpa Cheng about it. Why would you feel sorry for Xiang Yi?”
Shi Nuannuan frowned. “I was just worried. Didn’t you say that brother was very sensitive at that time? As long as you had a little relationship with that person, he would be jealous immediately!”
Hearing her words, Zuo Weiyi could not help but think that men were sometimes more sensitive than women. Would Xiang Yi be unhappy because of this?
“Anyway, don’t think too much. If necessary, you can explain it to him.”
“Okay!”She nodded.
“I’ll go take care of the baby.”
“I’ll go too!”She missed the two cute little guys!
After teasing the baby for a while, the sky quickly darkened.
