The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 388: First Child Surnamed Son? (3)

When his love was brought up, Yong Gun's calm face could not help but be colored with gentleness, yet it looked a little sad and bleak.

Lisa had heard Jennie mention Yong Gun and Liang Fuhua's affairs. He also knew that Liang Fuhua was Yong Gun's only love. When Jennie talked about it, she was even filled with admiration and felt contented.

"Grandma must be living in good health and happiness on the other side. Grandpa, you don't have to be concerned about her. Instead, you should be taking good care of yourself."

Lisa did not know how to console him, but Jennie's clear voice rang out. When he looked up, he noticed that she had already walked to his side.

Because Ye-Jin's head was rather muddled and the drip made her drowsy, when Jennie helped her to lie down, she had fallen asleep very quickly.

Jennie sat down near the man who very leisurely poured her some tea.

"When one is old, we easily think of the past. How do I not miss it? Jennie, after the wedding, come over to walk around Fuhua more. I've already decided to join the South River project. That way, you can come over more, and I can get you familiarized with the company. Let Lisa be the lead. Then, you won't have too much pressure. Plus, your Uncle Lan and I will teach you, so don't worry."

Yong Gun had previously waited for the wedding to take place in October first before getting Jennie to familiarize herself with Fu Hua. He was planning to wait till the end of the year when he could hand over Fuhua to the children to hustle. However, now that the wedding was brought forward, it could work out just as well. She could spend more time familiarizing, and then it would be easier to take the reins.

In fact, now that Ye-Jin was in such a state, Yong Gun felt beyond fatigued. He was already over 70 years old, and he did not know how many more years he had left. He just wanted to have some idle days to live his life.

Jennie naturally understood Yong Gun's intentions too. She slowly looked up at Ye-Jin who had fallen asleep on the sickbed, then averted her gaze and turned to Lisa. Upon lending her his gaze that was as gentle as the warm breeze and held faint hints of consolation and encouragement, he nodded gently at her.

She then breathed in, and looked to Yong Gun before she gladly nodded and answered, "Okay, after the wedding, I will be by your side more to familiarize myself and learn, Grandpa."

Yong Gun nodded gladly. "It would be good for me to relax too. I've worked so hard all my life. In the end, I just want to have some idle days, so right now, you two had best get proper rest. Don't worry too much about your mother's matter. I've understood the situation from the doctor. He didn't say that recovery is impossible."

Then, Jennie did not notice what else Yong Gun said after that. Tuning out, she just watched this frail, old man standing before her. It was as if in an instant, he had aged tremendously. Almost all of his hair was white, and his expression was mellowed by time too.

Time and tide waited for no man. He had been busy for his whole life, yet in the end, he was just waiting for some days of simple idleness.

In the afternoon, Yong Gun and Lisa left the hospital together. They said it was because they had some things to discuss. It seemed like Yong Gun wanted Lisa to make a trip to Fuhua with him.

In the meantime, Jennie stayed to accompany Ye-Jin in the hospital. The doctor went over in the afternoon to say that her condition was not considered stable just yet. Ye-Jin often felt a severe headache, so she probably needed to stay hospitalized for a few more days of observation.

It was close to the evening and the sun was marvelous. It was not harsh and scorching like the afternoon light. In fact, since Ye-Jin had laid down for a whole day, Jennie decided to wheel her downstairs for a walk and bask in the sunset for a bit.

"Let's go over there to have a sit. The breeze is pretty nice."

Jennie wheeled Ye-Jin to a bench by the corridor that was decorated with flowers and plants. When they found a cozy spot, she helped her sit down on the bench.

Ye-Jin reached her hand out to feel the warmth of the sun. She could vaguely smell the faint fragrance of the plants too. "It smells like jasmine?"

Jennie turned to look at the corridor of flowers, and saw that in the corner were several pink jasmines blossoming. They faced the sunset and swayed in the wind.

"Mmm, there are a few jasmines blossoming in the corner."

Ye-Jin turned her head slightly and heard the noises ahead, so she asked softly, "How rare to have such a quiet moment. Is there someone playing football ahead?"

Jennie looked ahead. Indeed, in the field far ahead, several children were playing football. Their cheerful peals of laughter mixed with the cool evening breeze which blew gently. From where the mother and daughter sat, they could vaguely feel their joy too.

After quite a while, Jennie turned to look at Ye-Jin. When she saw that she was still trying to listen with her head cocked, she could not help but sigh on the inside. "Yes, there are three children playing football in the field ahead. People are sitting on the benches around the field. Some of them are playing chess, some are listening to music. They all looked like seniors in their 60s and 70s."

Jennie endured the sadness in her heart, and described the scene ahead for Ye-Jin.

Her mother smiled and nodded. She could not help but spread her hands to feel the warmth of the sun. "Today's weather is great for doing all that. It's been a long time since I've sat around like this too."

When she heard this, Jennie felt the pain in her heart abruptly intensify. Just as she thought it was about to spill out, the phone in her pocket buzzed.

She then took a deep breath and quickly took it out to see. It was Yeji. She answered it very quickly as she turned to look at Ye-Jin who was sighing a little. Concernedly, she could not help but notice that her lips were a little dry.

"Mother, sit right here and don't move. I'll go get you a bottle of water from the kiosk," Jennie said softly.

"Okay, I was just feeling a little thirsty too."

"Mmm, sit here and don't move. I'll be back very quickly. It's just a few steps ahead." Jennie worriedly reminded her not to go anywhere a few times before she walked ahead as she answered the phone.

"Hello? Mmm? Sis-in-law?" It was Yeji's voice.

"Mmm, it's me," answered Jennie calmly.

"Huh? Isn't this my brother's phone?" From the other end of the phone came Yeji's surprised voice.

"My phone ran out of battery, so I took his. My phone is with him. It's probably charging in the car. If you want to look for him, just call my number."

"Mmm, got it, Sis-in-law! Is Aunty Ye alright? I heard from Ryujin... Well, don't worry too much. Aunty Ye will definitely see again, Sis-in-law." Yeji's consoling voice came through the receiver.

Jennie smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I'm fine. So is my mother. We will find a way to heal her eyes."

"You will! Right, I might as well let you know that yours and my brother's outfits for the wedding shoot have arrived. I've already sent them over for you. Grandma just came by earlier and made some food for you two, and boiled some soup for Aunty Ye. I'm on my way to the hospital."
