Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace

Chapter 961 - 191: Proposal (Part 7)

Tang Yuwen still looked at Yige with uncertainty, "Make a vow."

"..." The pain in her heart and lungs intensified; Tang Yige couldn’t support herself anymore, she squatted down, looking up at Tang Yuwen with fiery red eyes, a cold smile, "Fine, I’ll make a vow. If, if I, Tang Yige, don’t keep my word, then let me Tang Yige never..."

"Shut up!"

Before Tang Yige could finish speaking, an angry shout suddenly came from the doorway of the hospital room.

Tang Yige’s voice trembled, she slowly turned her head to look towards the door.

With blurred vision, she faintly saw a tall figure striding swiftly towards her.

Soon, she was enveloped in a solid, warm embrace.

Tang Yige leaned against him, gently rubbing her face into his arm, deeply inhaling the dry, reassuring scent on his body.

Si Nan held Tang Yige tightly, his eyes bloodshot, looking coldly at Tang Yuwen, "You wanted to die, didn’t you? Jump out of here now, I guarantee no one will stop you!"

"Brother..."

Tang Yige whispered in a hoarse voice to stop him, weakly tugging at his clothes.

Si Nan lowered his head, his thin lips tender yet resentful, pressing against Yige’s tear-dampened temple, gritting his teeth, "I’ll settle this with you later!"

Tang Yige bit her lower lip hard, unable to speak.

Si Nan glared fiercely at Tang Yuwen, picked up Yige, and strode out of the hospital room.

Tang Yuwen watched as Yige and Si Nan left, his muddled eyes quickly sweeping past, not daring to actually jump out the window in the end.

...

In the VIP hospital room two floors above Tang Yuwen’s room.

Tang Yige lay on the bed with a pale face, the red hue in her eyes lingering.

"Does it hurt here?" The doctor pressed on Yige’s lung area, asking.

Tang Yige cautiously glanced at Si Nan, who was standing beside her bed with a cold expression, before quietly answering the doctor, "Yes."

"Other than here, where else does it hurt?"

The doctor asked.

"...My chest hurts." Tang Yige glanced at Si Nan again, saying.

"Anything else?"

Tang Yige paused, her voice getting smaller, "...My stomach too, a little."

The doctor’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Anywhere else that hurts?"

Tang Yige kept her eyes down, shook her head, "No."

The doctor pursed his lips tightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Tang Yige, "Miss Tang, you know your health isn’t good, right?"

"..." Tang Yige silently nodded.

"Knowing this, you should try to manage your emotions and focus on recovery," the doctor said.

Tang Yige seemed like a child who had done something wrong, with her head down all the time, looking quietly obedient.

The doctor said no more after this.

Because he believed, Tang Yige understood her condition better than he did as a doctor.

Leaving a phrase "Relax, and take good care of yourself" before he left the room.

With the doctor’s departure.

Yige suddenly felt the air in the room becoming thinner, her eyes restlessly moving under her eyelids.

Si Nan looked down at Tang Yige’s paper-white cheeks, his hands gripping tightly.

The silent atmosphere continued to spread.

Tang Yige opened her lips, taking two faint breaths, speaking with a hoarse voice, "Can you not just stand there?"

"...Do you know how I feel right now?" Si Nan asked sharply.

Tang Yige pressed her pale lips tightly, a crystal tear quickly sliding from the corner of her eye.

"Yiyi, you are cutting my heart with a knife, do you know?" Si Nan said, suppressing his emotions.

Tang Yige closed her eyes, her eyelashes damp.

Si Nan stood there, rigid, looking at Yige with pain, "Making such oaths for someone like that, Tang Yige, where does that leave me? And where does it leave Little Rui?"

"...Stop it!"

Tang Yige cried out hoarsely, her beautiful face twisted with pain, "It hurts so much, can you stop talking?"

Those words from Tang Yige almost brought tears to Si Nan’s eyes.

Si Nan clenched his fists tightly, the muscles on his arms bulging and stretching out his sleeves.

He suppressed all the emotions in his heart one by one.

Si Nan took a deep breath and sat down by the bedside.

Feeling the bed beside her sink slightly, Tang Yige’s throat choked, her eyes closed, she reached out to find Si Nan’s hand, gripping it tightly, "Hold me down."

The veins on Si Nan’s forehead throbbed twice. He leaned in and embraced Yige’s head, gently stroking her long hair with his big hand.

"Woo woo..."

Tang Yige finally burst into tears, like a child who had suffered much grievance, leaning against the loving embrace of her guardian, wantonly venting her emotions.

Tears also trickled down the corners of Si Nan’s eyes. The hand stroking her long hair suddenly gripped the back of her neck at a certain moment.

"Woo woo..."

He allowed Yige to vent for a while.

Si Nan slightly loosened her, kissed her reddened forehead and eyes, "Alright, stop crying, it’s bad for your health."

Tang Yige’s eyelashes clumped together, unable to blink.

Si Nan frowned, reached out, and gently wiped the moisture off Yige’s eyelashes.

Tang Yige finally slowly saw Si Nan’s face clearly and, still crying, asked chokingly, "Why are you here?"

"If I didn’t come, would you really have foolishly sworn?"

Si Nan’s voice was resentful, holding her face with his hands, wiping the tears from her eyes and face.

He originally came today planning to negotiate with Tang Yuwen.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving...

Si Nan bowed his head, rubbing Yige’s nose with his, "Yige wouldn’t be this foolish, right?"

Tang Yige rubbed her face gently against his palm, "I’m sorry."

"You don’t let me say sorry to you, but you say it to me," Si Nan said, looking at her with affection.

Tang Yige’s face was haggard, gazing at him, "Then I won’t say it anymore from now on."

Si Nan slowly nodded, saying, "Don’t do such foolish things again, promise me."

Tang Yige looked at him, nodding solemnly.

Only then did Si Nan’s expression soften, holding up her hand without an IV tube to his lips, kissing it, his eyes sternly focused on her, "Yiyi, I hope our lifetime together can be longer, even longer."

Tang Yige’s eyes seemed to contain a lake, flowing endlessly, "I also hope, that when we are both gray-haired, we can still hold hands and walk together. Just thinking about that picture feels so beautiful. I envy us at that time."

"It will happen."

Si Nan pressed his lips hard against the back of Yige’s hand, saying hoarsely, "Medicine is so advanced now, you’re just physically weak, not suffering from an incurable disease. I don’t believe things won’t get better."

Tang Yige gazed at Si Nan, unable to stop her lips from trembling.

She hopes too, that she can recover, accompany him until old age, until death. And not be the one who leaves halfway through.

But right now, she cannot promise him.

Si Nan kept kissing the back of Tang Yige’s hand, his eyes consistently focusing intently on Tang Yige.

As if only in this way could he be sure she was still there.

...

The infusion contained medication to aid sleep, and before long, Tang Yige fell deeply asleep.

Only after Tang Yige was sound asleep did Si Nan leave the ward, heading to Tang Yuwen’s former ward.

Because Tang Yuwen’s previous ward had been smashed by him to the point where it was uninhabitable.

So the hospital arranged another ward for Tang Yuwen.

Si Nan walked to Tang Yuwen’s ward, where Tang Yuwen, dressed in a large patient gown, sat slumped on the bed.

Upon hearing footsteps from the doorway, Tang Yuwen slowly lifted his head, looking towards the door.

Seeing the menacing Si Nan step towards him, Tang Yuwen shivered violently, hurriedly stood up from the bed, and backed to the side of the bedside table, eyeing Si Nan with panic, questioning, "What do you intend to do?"

Si Nan sneered, "Why so tense? Weren’t you even unafraid of death?"

Tang Yuwen’s heart sank, his face trembling as he warily watched Si Nan, saying, "Si Nan, I am Yige’s biological father. If you dare do something to me, Yige won’t easily let it go!"

"What right do you have to mention Yige in front of me? Tang Yuwen, do you have the nerve to call yourself Yige’s biological father?"

Si Nan walked up to Tang Yuwen, grabbing his collar and hurling him onto the bed.

Tang Yuwen bounced several times on the bed before regaining his senses, staring at Si Nan in horror, pointing a trembling hand towards him, "You dare lay a hand on me? Don’t forget, I am your father-in-law..."

"Do you deserve it?!"

Si Nan glared at him viciously, speaking in a cold voice.
