I know that Bo Lengqing's grandfather has never liked me, so I always thought of carefully avoiding him to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
I originally wanted to take a detour to avoid meeting him and secretly go to see the Auntie Bai, but when I arrived at the entrance to Auntie Bai's ward, I saw the bodyguards by the old man's side standing at the door.
I hid in a corner and didn't dare to go any further. I didn't know how long it took before the old man came out of the ward, accompanied by a doctor.
"This is the situation in Auntie Bai. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad …"
"I understand, take good care of her." The old man's expression was very serious.
This made me even more confused. Could it be that the one who had silently paid the hospital fees for Auntie Bai for such a long period of time was Old Master Bo?
But why did he do it?
According to my understanding of Auntie Bai for such a long period of time, he has always been alone with Mu Chen. Mu Chen is a single parent family, because I have never seen his father before.
According to common sense, Mu Chen should also be just an ordinary person. How could their family be related to Bo Family that was as rich as a nation?
I frowned. I only dared to visit the Auntie Bai after the old man and his men had left.
Auntie Bai's mental state has calmed down a lot, but after the previous incident, I only dared to watch from afar, and didn't dare to come into close contact with Auntie Bai. I was afraid that it would agitate her memories of the past again.
I saw Auntie Bai sitting on the sickbed with a photo frame in her arms. Her expression was very loving, I didn't even need to think to know that it was definitely Mu Chen's photo.
The guilt in my heart grew deeper. I wanted to tell Auntie Bai that Mu Chen was still alive, but I should be the one who had no position to do so.
I sighed and prepared to leave. When I reach the stairs, I suddenly heard familiar footsteps. I immediately hid in a corner where no one was and stuck my head out carefully.
Who would have thought that I would actually see Bo Lengqing!
He stopped at the door of the ward of the Auntie Bai for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in!
At this moment, I was completely shocked. First, it was the old man, then it was Bo Lengqing.
Just then, the doctor who looked for a room came over, and greeted Bo Lengqing when he saw him.
"Hello, Mister Bo!"
Bo Lengqing nodded her head, her deep voice seemed to be communicating with the doctor. I wanted to hear it more clearly, but I was afraid of being discovered.
I stayed around the corner for a long time, feeling a spring in my heart, and then I went home with my questions.
When Bo Lengqing and the doctor conversed and greeted each other, it was obvious that this was not the first time the two had met. That was to say, Bo Lengqing would frequently visit the Auntie Bai here.
However, with his current identity and status, if it was just to accurately reduce poverty, why would he need to go through so much trouble to do it himself?
Could it be …
I had an incredible guess.
If my thoughts were true, then many of the mysteries that had eluded me before could be solved!
What I was nervous about was that the person I was waiting for was always beside me, afraid. Why did he spend so much time hiding it from me?
I want to hear him say it.
I took out the necklace between Mu Chen and I from the deepest part of the jewelry box and intentionally hung it around my neck.
She personally made a meal for him. There were things that Mu Chen liked and hated.
He came back on time and looked very tired.
I took a deep breath and led him to the table, where I set the table for him.
"I made them myself. Taste them."
He smiled gently at me, his gaze fixed on the necklace around my neck. I smiled back. "Does it look good?"
I took the ring off the necklace and placed it in front of him. I carefully observed all his expressions to see how he would react.
He nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, he extended his hand towards the dish in front of him.
That was the foie gras that Mu Chen disliked the most.
I held my breath and stared at him, but at that moment he put down his cutlery.
"Su Cha, what's the matter?"
He turned his face and looked at me gently. I couldn't see any emotion in his eyes.
"I …"
I quickly turned my head away, not daring to look him in the eye. I was afraid that my guess was wrong and even more afraid …
He was even more afraid that he would be drowned in his short and fake gentleness.
I lowered my head to pick up the tableware and began to eat. I even forgot to test him.
After he finished his meal, I suddenly remembered my purpose. I couldn't help but feel a little vexed. He turned around and picked up his jacket, preparing to head upstairs.
Today is my best chance, I must muster up the courage to get the answer I want!
I clenched my fists, looked at his back, and suddenly shouted: "Mu Chen!"
His body stiffened. I saw it! He almost turned back! But he didn't. He forced himself to turn around and go up the stairs.
Some say that a name is just a code name, but everyone only responds when they hear their own name.
If it was said that Mu Chen was only an ordinary person, that he had nothing to do with Bo Family, or that he was related to Bo Lengqing in all, then Bo Lengqing would basically not have any reaction to his name!
Unless …
Realizing this, I became inexplicably agitated. I rushed up the stairs to follow Bo Lengqing, but his steps were very heavy. Every step he took was slow, as if he was waiting for me on purpose.
Say the name that came five years too late.
"Mu Chen..."
He didn't push me away.
"It's really you. Mu Chen, it's really you …"
It turned out that he had always been by my side. All the times of my pain and happiness, he had always been by my side.
I loosened my grip on his back and walked around to him. My hand trembled as it caressed his face.
It was a completely different face.
"Mu Chen, why didn't you tell me? Why did it become like this? "Why …" Why did you lie to me?
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"When did you know?"
I bit my lower lip. "I don't know, I never did! I didn't know that you, Mu Chen, could act so well. Two whole years! Do you know how I've been going through these past two years!? Every day, I live in the torment of losing you. Every day, I despise myself and loathe myself! "
"Su Cha..."
He whispered my name, and my tears fell like rain.
"Mu Chen, why are you doing this? Why did he have to turn into someone else?! Why didn't you tell me when you were alive?! I know, I know you're still blaming me. Why don't you blame me for not coming out to testify for you? Why do I have to be silent to go along with those people... It's been two years. Two years, I've lived under the shadow of losing you, and I've been the worst mistress ever! "
"I …" His face was filled with sorrow, "I have my own difficulties too."
You have become the successor of Bo Family, you are no longer Mu Chen, and in your eyes, there is no longer only me! But how I wish that you would always be Bo Lengqing, that you would always be Bo Lengqing … "
If Mu Chen was only Mu Chen, the distance between him and I would just be a hug, but he isn't.
He is not just Mu Chen who belongs to me alone, he is also Bo Lengqing.
Of all the Bo Lengqing s, the only one that isn't mine is my Bo Lengqing.
"I am Mu Chen! Tea, if there's a choice, I only want to be the Mu Chen from five years ago! But I couldn't protect you five years ago! I can only watch as you get bullied, and even if I had to protect you, I would have to pay the price of being bullied! "
He hoarsely said, "If it's something that Mu Chen can't do, Bo Lengqing can!"
"Where's the Auntie Bai? Do you think I'm the only one you're torturing?! Auntie Bai she's crazy, she's crazy because of you! How could you bear it, how could you?! Mu Chen, since you are dead, why don't you just die a little more thoroughly?! Why did he come back? Why do you still want me to know that you are still alive?! "
What I am most afraid of is that one day, I will fall in love with Bo Lengqing.
But I never would have thought that this day would come so soon.
