"Yeah, I am so proud of you and happy but the doctors might freak out if they see the food you brought. They told me I should watch what I eat...,"
"I will take all the responsibility if they catch us in the act so, don't worry," Yang Zi said as she beamed at the guy still sitting on the bed.
"That means you are gonna get scolded by them very badly, are you sure you will be ok by that?" Wang Yibo asked as he focused his gaze on her face.
Just to make me happy and comfortable, Cutie Pie is enduring all the pain by putting on a fake smile. I can't help but think that I am sure a jerk for making the woman I love to go through this.
Wang Yibo thought sadly. He immediately looked away when Yang Zi raised her gaze to stare at him. Yang Zi hurried to his side having just finished arranging the dishes on the table..
"YiYi, what is wrong? Are you in any kind of pain? Do you need me to go call the doctor...,"
"I am fine so stop looking worried. Seeing you take very good care of me despite your busy schedules makes me feel overwhelmed," Wang Yibo lied as he forced on a smile.
"But...,"
"Let's go and eat Cutie Pie because I am starving," Wang Yibo's mood changed drastically.
"Didn't the hospital give you food and what about Shu, didn't she do anything when the hospital refused to give you food...,"
"Cutie Pie, stop getting so worked up because the hospital gave me food but it wasn't to my taste that is why I only had a few bites. Feng Shu was indeed here and saw that I didn't eat but she did not do anything about it. That's why my Cutie Pie is the best," Wang Yibo said as he pulled her cheeks playfully.
Actually, what he said about the food not being to his taste was correct but the part where he said Feng Shu ignored him was a lie. When Feng Shu saw that he did not have an appetite she had offered to buy him a different kind of food but since he was still angry at her, he blatantly refused her help.
"I am sorry you had to starve. I had to escort Grandpa who has just had been discharged home that is why I could not visit you during lunch...,"
"There is no need to say sorry. You had told me that he was going to get discharged today and I don't have a problem with it. I know how important he is to you and never will I want to take his place in your heart," Wang Yibo said as he patted her hair.
"Let's go and eat," Wang Yibo said as he tried to stand up from the bed and Yang Zi quickly assisted him.
Yang Zi and Wang Yibo ate happily. After they finished eating Yang Zi helped him back to the bed. The moment she turned to walk back to the middle of the room, Wang Yibo held her hand. Yang Zi turned to stare at him.
"Do you need something?" Yang Zi asked in a calm tone. Without saying anything, Wang Yibo made her sit beside him.
"Cutie Pie, you don't need to treat me like this...,"
"What nonsense are you saying YiYi? You will soon become my husband so it is my duty that I take good care of you," Yang Zi said in a meek tone.
"And you don't have to get married to me too...,"
"Are you rejecting me? I thought you said your wish was to get married to me so why are you acting this way?" Yang Zi asked, sounding upset.
"Yes, I am rejecting your proposal and you are very correct when you say it is my wish to marry you. I indeed want to marry you but not at the expense of your happiness," Wang Yibo said seriously.
"I love you a lot and I know that you love me too but, I am also aware that you love Li Yifeng more. Your happiness lies within him so you don't have to deprive yourself of the opportunity to be happy just because you want to fulfil my wish. I am indeed sick and there is a possibility I might die...,"
"Stop saying bad words YiYi or I will get upset with you," Yang Zi said angrily.
"And why are you mentioning Yifeng's name? Also, how did you know that I am aware of your real condition? I am sure I acted well...,"
"Did you think I would get fooled by you? Have you forgotten that I know you more than you know yourself?" Wang Yibo asked playfully.
"And also if I don't mention Yifeng's name, which man's name should I mention...,"
"Didn't you always hate him so why are you speaking up for him?" Yang Zi asked curiously.
"I hated him and I still hate him for making my beloved unhappy for a long time, but after hearing that he did not kill Aunt, my hatred for him subsided a bit. Although I still think he is a jerk, I agree that he sincerely loves you. No man in this world would have done what he did even though he loves that woman, but he did not hesitate to make you despise him. He has won my respect," Wang Yibo said as he coughed at the end of his sentence.
"You know that Li Yifeng did not kill mum? Who told you about it?" Yang Zi asked.
She had wanted to break that good news to him after their date but unfortunately, he had to faint that day. Hearing that he was suffering from a brain tumour and that he had little time to live she had wanted to keep this secret from him. She did not want him to feel terrible since she had already agreed to marry him.
"Why am I even asking? I am sure that sneaky cousin of yours must have been the one who revealed everything to you," Yang Zi said jokingly. Wang Yibo adjusted properly on the bed with his legs crossed so that he was facing her.
