Talking To Family
Another two hours later, Lin Qianru woke up again and insisted to Chi Rong that she wanted to see her parents and brothers.0
Chi Rong sighed and obliged but he also took a promise from Lin Qianru.
"You are not allowed to cry. It drains your energy. As soon as I feel that you are emotionally tired, you are supposed to go back to sleep."
"Yes, I will do as you say."
Lin Qianru smiled softly and agreed.
Her smile made Chi Rong smile as well. He held her hand and kissed it slightly. When he noticed that she didn't look uncomfortable and even looked shy, he was relieved.
He was afraid that the two years gap between their relationship which already started too late would put a gap between them as well.
Chi Rong didn't demand much from this relationship. He wanted to take care of Lin Qianru and love her for the life they were left with.
He just didn't want to impose that love on her. Seeing that she didn't resist his feelings made him feel happy.
"I will go and send them inside."
He said to his wife with a smile and left the room.
Lin Qianru looked at his back. Her eyes were slightly teary and she blinked away furiously.
She felt touched whenever she thought that Chi Rong waited for her for two years. He even took care of Mo Roulan and Mo Chen.
Chi Rong proved that her decision of marrying him had been right. She actually felt guilty for making him do so much for her and her family but whenever she looked into soft and gentle eyes that didn't have any hint of grievances, she couldn't help but want more.
This relationship…Lin Qianru wished to give it a sincere chance now that she woke up again.
She wiped her eyes when she heard the sound of footsteps telling her that her family was there.
It was surreal. She had been surprised when her mother said that they had been looking for her for so many years but couldn't find her.
Lin Qianru remembered very well how her father had said that he would not see her face if she married Wang Weimin but she didn't listen to him back then.
After Wang Weimin left, she actually felt tempted to go back to her family seeing how their days were.
She didn't have any skills and didn't know she will raise her children. But her pride stopped her from doing so. She was afraid that her father would mock her saying that he had been right in the end.
She feared that he would not accept her children.
But now when she thought about it, Lin Qianru felt that she had been a great fool.
They were her parents. She herself was a parent.
If her children did a mistake, she would be angry just like how her father had been but she would never be able to detach herself from them.
"Ruru…"
Lin Qianru raised her head when she heard her mother's voice. She smiled.
Her mother's soft eyes made her feel as if she was still that young girl who was pampered and spoiled by her family.
"Mom…"
She patted the spot on the bed when her mother was about to sit on the chair near the bed. Looking at her father with whom she had not exchanged a single word, she looked at the spot on the other side of the bed.
"Dad, you can sit here."
She said finally.
Old Master Lin nodded his head stiffly.
Lin Yu took the chair.
"Ruru…how have you been, my daughter? How did you go into a coma?"
Old Lady Lin asked as she held her daughter's hand. There were many questions that had been left unanswered. Lin family had been thinking about these questions for a long time.
"I had cancer…stomach cancer."
There was a deafening silence when Lin Qianru finished her words.
Seeing her parents and brother's shock-filled eyes, Lin Qianru said immediately
"I am fine now. I had undergone surgery which was not a safe one. Though the disease was removed from my body through the surgery, I went into a coma because of that."
Old Lady Lin nodded her head but bit her lips to stop herself from crying.
"What about Wang Weimin?"
It was Old Master Lin who spoke up this time.
Lin Qianru raised her head to look at his father. His face was emotionless but when she how his fist was clenched on his lap, her eyes teared up.
She blinked furiously as she said
"He left me. Chenchen was born…and a few months later, he told me that he wanted to look for a job in the city. I didn't want him to leave but we talked and in the end, I agreed."
Those days were stressful for Lin Qianru.
Wang Weimin was a very ambitious man. She knew it even before her marriage to him. However, she didn't know what his ambitions meant for him. She didn't know that he could do anything for his ambitions.
She had been shocked when he suggested that they should go to her family and ask her father to lend them some money because Wang Weimin wanted to start a new company.
She had wondered where was his self-respect. How could he think of going to those people who had insulted him!
They were her family but she still couldn't go to them.
To Lin Qianru, it was giving a truthful form to her father's words.
She had refused immediately.
But in his eyes, it looked to be as if she was doubting his abilities. But she never did so.
She never doubted his abilities. She knew that if given the proper resources, Wang Weimin could build a huge business.
But she couldn't compromise her self-respect and her dignity to complete his ambitions.
She loved him and there was no doubt in that.
She could eat one time meal less. She could wear less costly clothes and not have any jewelry at all. But she couldn't go back to her family.
