71 -70: Holding Her Hand
“Mom, I’m off today, and I came to see you with my boyfriend, brought you some milk and supplements…
Ah…
Fu Tingzhou, why are you here?”
The woman’s shocked voice rang out.
Her voice was trembling with panic.
Tang Xi walked in, carrying things, and stared in astonishment at the figure sitting in front of the hospital bed.
It was just a back, but she couldn’t mistake it.
Her lips were somewhat pale.
What was he doing here?
How did he find this place?
What did he say to Mom….
Zhao Tianqi, standing by her side, also didn’t expect this situation to arise, looking at Tang Xi’s face as it turned pale as if she’d just started a job.
Her mind was in total disarray for a moment, and she hurried over.
The area around the hospital room was messy, but his presence seemed distant and cold.
Tang Xi reached the bedside, Tang Jingyun smiled at her, “Xixi, you’re here.”
Fu Tingzhou stood up, his gaze landing on Tang Xi’s face, and what displeased him was that the smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared when she looked at him, as if he was some terrifying beast, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
And, a boyfriend?
He looked at the person standing beside Tang Xi, his eyes as sharp and cold as ice.
In an instant, Zhao Tianqi felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Who is this man related to Doctor Tang, he seems to have an extraordinary identity, and his gaze is also far too terrifying…
Tang Jingyun, belatedly aware, sensed something off in the atmosphere.
If the man beside Tang Xi really is her boyfriend, then who is this…
“Xixi, what’s going on here, I’m a bit confused.”
Not just Tang Jingyun was confused, Tang Xi’s mind was extremely chaotic at the moment.
Fu Tingzhou spoke in a low and husky voice, “I happened to be passing by, heard…
you mentioned before that your mother just had a kidney transplant, so I came to check on her.” After speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Tianqi, his cold voice leaving no room for rebuttal, “You can leave now.”
Zhao Tianqi glanced at Tang Xi, “Xiaotang, this…”
Tang Xi composed herself, “Doctor Zhao, you go ahead, I’m sorry, I’ll speak to you another day at work…”
“Alright then…” Zhao Tianqi seemed a bit worried, he gently patted Tang Xi’s shoulder, “Xiaotang, we’re colleagues, if something’s up, just tell me, don’t carry it all by yourself.”
Tang Xi struggled to move, forcing a small smile at the corner of her mouth.
After Zhao Tianqi left, she went to Tang Jingyun’s bedside, “Mom…
I…
There’s been some misunderstanding here, don’t worry about it.”
She didn’t know how to explain the situation to Tang Jingyun, and what’s more, she never expected Fu Tingzhou would appear here.
She looked at him with a pleading gaze.
The man met her gaze, and it seemed like she was on the verge of crying out in panic and hurry, but she held it back.
For the first time, Fu Tingzhou saw her show such clear vulnerability, he frowned, fell silent for a few seconds, and then said to Tang Jingyun, “There indeed has been some misunderstanding, take care of your health, and I will come to visit when I have time.”
His words were calm, with a touch of proper politeness.
As he spoke, Tang Xi’s heart relaxed a bit.
As long as he didn’t reveal her secret, it was fine.
“Ah…
You young people!” Tang Jingyun was anxious at heart, but also heaved a helpless sigh, “Xixi, did you quarrel with Xiao Fu and then brought your colleague here to appease me?
Is it because of my illness?”
“Mom, it’s not what you think, don’t worry about it.
Fu Tingzhou and I are good, we just had a little argument.
And you were rushing me to bring my boyfriend over, so I just…”
“Alright, alright, it’s Mom’s fault…”
“Ah….
Mom, I…
I’ll take him out first, he’s quite busy with work.
I won’t disturb your rest.”
“What’s the rush?
I’ve finished this already; give it to little Fu.” Tang Jingyun said as she quickly tied a few knots with her hands.
Having nothing else to do, she wanted to find something to pass the time.
She had knitted a black scarf for Tang Shiyue, thinking that Shiyue would be going to college soon, and when he came back for the winter break, she wanted her son to have it for when winter came.
Tang Xi hurriedly stopped her, “Mom…
he doesn’t need this…
he’s not lacking…”
She was somewhat panicky.
She told Tang Jingyun that she had a boyfriend, who was very good to her and wealthy, and that he gave her money for her mother’s surgery expenses.
However, the boyfriend was a fabrication, solely to put Tang Jingyun at ease for the surgery and not to worry about the expenses.
Now, she was afraid that Tang Jingyun would find out…
Who could have imagined that Fu Tingzhou would actually be here?
And this man, how could he play along with her act?
It’d already be fortunate if he didn’t mock her with indifference; why would he use…
such a cheap scarf?
His wardrobe was full of high-end luxury brands…
The scarf, lovingly hand-crocheted by Tang Jingyun, he wouldn’t fancy it at all.
She didn’t want Tang Jingyun to be sad.
She even regretted at this moment, regretting that she created a perfect imaginary boyfriend, which consoled Tang Jingyun but now she had to…
“Mom, I’m sorry I…”
I lied to you.
Before she could finish her words, Fu Tingzhou took the scarf and tied it around his neck.
The man’s neck was long, his figure tall, and the black scarf made him look all the more understated and fitting.
The man’s voice was flat, without much intonation, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, “Thank you, Aunt Tang.”
Tang Xi was stunned. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
It took her several seconds to snap out of it, as she listened to Tang Jingyun’s laughter.
She looked at Fu Tingzhou in surprise.
This man…
he actually helped her.
She had never dared to hope that he would set aside his usual indifference and help her cover up in front of Tang Jingyun.
For a moment, she bit her lip.
Her chest was filled with indescribable emotions.
“It suits you so well.” Tang Jingyun praised, “Xi, having such an outstanding boyfriend, you should have brought him to meet me sooner, instead of keeping it a secret from me…”
“Mom, in the future…
let’s not talk about this now, he’s got work to do, I’ll walk him out.”
With that, she took Fu Tingzhou’s arm and led him out of the ward.
As soon as they stepped out of the ward, she released his hand.
Tang Xi said softly, “Thank you.”
Fu Tingzhou responded simply with a ‘hmm’ as acknowledgment.
Tang Xi’s gaze was calm and gentle as she looked ahead, watching the patients come and go, walking side by side with Fu Tingzhou, “I didn’t expect you to come here.
Before I came, I visited Aunt Qin, I told her we went to see a movie together, we went shopping, she was very happy and even said we should come to the ward tonight, she and Aunt Rong were planning to make dumplings for us to eat.”
It was as if she was calmly telling him, see, I’ve also completed my task very well.
But there was no hint of seeking praise for her efforts in her words, only calmness, mechanical as if truly executing a task.
“I need to go to the company this afternoon, you go ahead, I’ll come by later.”
“Okay.”
Arriving at the elevator entrance, Tang Xi looked at the black scarf around his neck, the man in a black suit, which seemed somewhat mismatched.
Besides the style, it was mainly the incongruity between a suit costing over a hundred thousand and a scarf worth about ten yuan that prompted her to reach out, wanting to help him take it off.
The woman’s fingers were cold, touching the skin on his neck.
Fu Tingzhou grabbed her hand.
