Gu Hengwen stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor. It was already dark outside. From here, he could see the outside of the hospital. It was still rush hour after work, and the street lights almost illuminated the entire Street.
Su Yicheng closed the door of the ward and walked over to him. He stood behind him and called out softly, ” “Dad,” he said.
Gu Hengwen didn’t turn his head. His hands were behind his back, and his eyes were still staring out the window at the night sky and the cars coming and going.
Gu Hengwen didn’t say anything, and su Yicheng didn’t say anything either. He stood respectfully behind him, and his injured hand was still wrapped in white gauze, which was a little dazzling in the dark corridor.
The two of them stood like this for a while before Gu Hengwen slowly opened his mouth. However, he still didn’t turn his head around. He only said,”Ah Luo, I’m handing my daughter to you in the hope that you can dote on her, love her, and not let her suffer the slightest bit. Although she’s not related to me by blood, in my heart, she’s my daughter. She’s my biological daughter. There’s nothing fake about her. ”
As he spoke, Gu Hengwen turned his head and looked at su Yicheng with a serious expression and a sharp gaze.
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just looked at him without avoiding his gaze.
“Although the two of you got married in a hurry, and Ranran said that she married you when you first met, I was angry at the time. I was angry at your rashness in your relationship and marriage, but I could see from your actions that you were someone Ranran could entrust her life to. You didn’t object, and your later performance proved that my thoughts were right. You were really good to Ranran, loved her, and doted on her. At least you didn’t make her regret her rashly decision back then, nor did she regret marrying you. Xiaofen and I are both very happy that we found someone who can accompany her and protect her for the rest of her life.” As he spoke, Gu Hengwen’s tone changed, and his gaze became even sharper than before. He looked straight into his eyes and said, &Quot; but loving her and doting on her isn’t just because of your care and gentleness. You shouldn’t give others the chance to hurt her. Regarding the incident with the photos and videos last time, and this time, we all believe in your character, but we can’t deny that Anran was hurt because of you! &Quot;
“I’m sorry,” she said. Su Yicheng nodded and accepted all of his accusations. &Quot; I didn’t do a good job. &Quot;
Gu Hengwen let out a long sigh and didn’t speak for a long time. He only turned his head and looked out the window again.
After a long while, Gu Hengwen slowly said, ” ah-kun, please understand how a father feels. I know that you can’t be blamed for this. You didn’t want this to happen either. However, seeing my daughter hurt and cry so helplessly, as a father, it’s impossible for me not to feel heartache. I don’t expect her to marry someone who must have some achievements or be rich. I just want her to live a peaceful life without any pain. It’s enough as long as she’s happy and healthy. This request is not too much, right?” After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at su Yicheng again, her eyes somewhat threatening.
&Quot; dad, I’m sorry. I’ve made Anran suffer. &Quot; Su Yicheng looked back at him and didn’t shirk from his mistakes and responsibilities. He looked at him with determination and said, ” &Quot; I promise you that this will be the last time. I will protect Anran and not let her suffer any more grievances. &Quot;
Gu Hengwen also looked at him for a long time before finally nodding. He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, ” &Quot; just remember what you said today. You don’t have to say it out loud. Just do it. &Quot; After he finished speaking, Gu Hengwen didn’t say anything else. He directly turned around and walked towards the stairs on the side. After confirming that Anran was fine, he was relieved. It was already late, and he had to go up and find Lin xiaofen. Otherwise, she would be worried.
......
As he watched his back disappear behind the door, su Yicheng whispered to himself, ” “I will,” This wasn’t just a promise to him, it was also his determination.
When he returned to the ward, Anran was still lying on the bed, her hand gently and irregularly stroking her bulging belly. Seeing him open the door and come in, the corners of her mouth turned up in a faint smile. She didn’t see Gu Hengwen, so she asked, ” “Where’s daddy?”
“He went up.” Su Yicheng walked over to her, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to place his hand on the back of her hand.
She suddenly thought of something and held his hand. Anran looked at him nervously and said, ” “Aiya, do you think mom will know?” If Lin xiaofen knew about this, she would be extremely worried.
Su Yicheng gently patted her hand. &Quot; don’t worry, mom won’t know while she’s in the ward. If aunt Zhang comes out and overhears anything, she’ll be careful not to let mom know. &Quot;
Hearing this, Anran nodded in relief. She only whispered, ” “That’s good.”
She sat up slightly and pulled his injured hand over. She looked at the big hand wrapped in gauze and tears flowed down.
She pouted and looked up at him, asking, ” “Does it still hurt?” She touched him gently, not daring to use any force, afraid that she would hurt his wound. She saw how terrible the wound was. It was very deep.
Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head. &Quot; it doesn’t hurt. &Quot; She reached out her uninjured hand to wipe the tears on his face. &Quot; silly boy, what are you crying for? ” She didn’t know how much he cherished her tears. He only wanted her to see the bright smile on her small face and didn’t want to see her cry for him at all.
&Quot; you’re lying. You’ve lost so much blood. How can it not hurt? ” An ran said as tears fell.
Her tears seemed to be endless, and su Yicheng had no choice but to sit closer. Then, he held her face with one hand and kissed away the tears on her face, cheeks, and the corners of her eyes bit by bit. Finally, he covered her lips with his. It was different from his usual kiss, but his lips were pressed against hers, as if he was simply feeling the warmth between them.
The two of them hugged like this for a long time before su Yicheng finally let go of her. He looked at the wound on her neck that had been treated and the red marks on her neck that had been caused by Ling Lan’s strangling. He frowned unhappily and reached out to touch it gently.”Does it still hurt?”
&Quot; your hand doesn’t hurt, ” Anran mumbled. &Quot; I don’t hurt either. &Quot;
“Ha.” Su Yicheng helplessly reached out to rub her head and said in a pampering voice, ” “Silly girl.” After adjusting his position, he let her sit in his arms, letting her head rest on his chest, and put his hand on her shoulder.
At first, Anran was a little unwilling, afraid that she would press down on his injured hand, but under his insistence, she could only try her best to avoid the injury on his hand. She quietly rested on his chest and gently placed his hand on her palm. “What did dad call you out to talk about?” he asked after a long while.
Su Yicheng lowered his head to kiss the center of her hair, then shook his head and said, ” “It’s nothing,”
Anran was just asking casually and didn’t get to the bottom of it. If he didn’t want to tell her, she wouldn’t ask.
“I’m sorry,” she said. Su Yicheng apologized as he held her.
“What?” Anran leaned against him and responded. She didn’t quite understand why he was apologizing.
“I scared you just now, didn’t I?” Su Yicheng only asked this question lightly, and the strength of his arms around her increased.
Regarding this, Anran still had some lingering fears. She nodded and replied softly, ” yes. &Quot; You could say that she was timid or too weak, but in that situation, she was really afraid. She was afraid that she would die like that, afraid that she would never see him again, afraid that she would never have the chance to bring the two babies in her stomach to see the world again.
“I’m sorry,” she said. Su Yicheng repeated, then lowered his head and kissed the center of her head. &Quot; it’s my fault. I didn’t protect you well, so you got scared. &Quot; Ling LAN was targeting him. Her father didn’t punish him unjustly last time, and Gu Hengwen’s accusations today didn’t blame him wrongly either. Not protecting her well was his responsibility, his mistake.
“How can you be blamed for this?” Anran turned her head, looked at him seriously, and said, ” “It’s someone else’s mistake. Why do you have to bear it?”
Su Yicheng reached out to touch her face and said, ” because you’re my wife, and I’m your husband. A husband should protect his wife and child so that they won’t be hurt or wronged, but I didn’t do a good job. &Quot;
“Nonsense, you’ve done well,” Anran retorted, ” you told me to go back to mom’s ward first. I was the one who delayed it, that’s why Ling LAN saw me. &Quot; Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that he had left in a hurry after answering a phone call. She asked, ” &Quot; by the way, you left in a hurry just now. Have you settled everything? ”
Su Yicheng sighed and said frankly, ” &Quot; I went to look for Ling LAN just now because Captain Wu found a note she left in her room. She said that she wanted to harm you. &Quot;
“Captain Wu?” Anran was a little confused. Thinking about the wound on Ling Lan’s face, she was even more confused. &Quot; why is Ling LAN in the hospital? ”
&Quot; a few days ago, there was a rape case on Park Road in the early morning. The victim was Ling LAN. &Quot; Su Yicheng said honestly.
Hearing this, an ran couldn’t help but widen her eyes. &Quot; Oh my God! &Quot; No wonder her face was covered in wounds. She must have suffered a lot at that time.
Su Yicheng continued, ” in addition, we’ve also caught the suspect who posted the video and photos online. He confessed that everything was instructed by Ling LAN. Everything was planned by Ling LAN. &Quot;
An ran was silent for a long time before she muttered, ” “How much do you think she hates you for her to do this to you?”
Su Yicheng shook his head and pulled her into his arms again.
Anran rested her head on his shoulder again and sighed. &Quot; do you think that everything is predestined? ”
“Maybe,” As su Yicheng spoke, he hugged her even more tightly. He didn’t care if karma was destined for other people. Even if that accident hadn’t happened, Ling LAN wouldn’t have been able to escape the punishment of the law just from the video and the photos. Of course, if she was fine after being shot this time, the ruthless law would still be waiting for her.
He whispered in her ear,”are you tired?” If you’re tired, you can sleep in my arms.”
After such a big drama, Anran nodded. She was indeed a little tired. She yawned delicately, rested her head on his chest, and slowly closed her eyes.
