Addicted Book 2 - Passionate Flames

Chapter 14 - Late Night Inexplicable Sentiments

Across from GuHai's company there is a café. YanYaJing is there waiting for GuHai.

"How is your mother's condition?"

YanYaJing has lost a lot of weight. Her eyes lacked her normal bright spirits.

"She's not good, the cancer has spread to her entire abdominal cavity. The doctor said even with treatment, it is hopeless. The only thing they can do is reduce the patient's pain and improve her quality of life. During this entire time, my family has been by her side. Every day we pretend to be happy, afraid that she could see through it. But, I think she is already aware of her condition. She just wants to be strong. So even knowing it, she doesn't want to show us her sadness."

GuHai said softly, "If that is the case, then you don't need to feel so pained. Just spend more time with her so there won't be any regrets."

YanYaJing forcibly smiled, "My mother nagged me yesterday, asking whether she will be able to see her son-in-law with the time she has remaining."

"Then, you have to grasp the time." GuHai carelessly answered.

YanYaJing gave GuHai a fixed look, looking at the sides of his matured handsome face, thinking of all the days they've been through together and seeing how the company have gone from a small business to its current scale. And she, going from a girl with many suitors to becoming a "leftover" girl in people's mouths. Three four years have passed in the blink of an eye. She, who was the pride in her parents' eyes have now become their heart's biggest knot before their death.

And he still did not realize what all this means.

Once in a while, he'll throw out a few ambiguous words, but it is all ridicule language.

"I heard that you made DiShuang Vice Manager and allowed her to move into your office?" YanYaJing asked.

GuHai turned his attention back from the window and lightly replied, "Yes."

"You......" YanYaJing said hesitantly.

GuHai's eyes looked out the window again.

BaiLuoYin's car stopped at the entrance and he was calling someone on the phone. GuHai really hoped that his own phone will ring, but unfortunately, the phone in his pocket is especially peacefully quiet.

In a moment, DiShuang came out from the company's door.

"Why are you so free today? I asked and you can just come out." Half of DiShuang's face is covered by her collar, bending her head to smile brightly at BaiLouYin. BaiLouYin lightly replied, "Well, it's rare that you have free time and I was just visiting a comrade. He will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

"Let's find a place to eat." DiShuang said.

BaiLouYin was a bit reluctant, "I still have some work in the military base so I have the head back soon."

DiShuang rubbed her hands, "But it's too cold here."

After saying this, she turned her head toward the café across the street and her eyes lighted up, "Why don't we go in there and sit for a while?"

In fact, DiShuang did this intentionally. She already knew that GuHai was at the café.

BaiLouYin nodded a 'yes'.

The two sat down. BaiLuoYin glimpsed over and saw that GuHai and YanYaJing are seated next to them. Their eyes crossed and paused for a few seconds. BaiLuoYin was the first one to wave. GuHai slightly raised his mouth. Pretending like nobody was there, he glanced away and started to laugh with the person sitting on his table.
