The daughter followed her and wanted to take over, fearing that she would tire her mother out. The old lady shook her head and said, "We are old now, and I may collapse someday and not be able to push the cart for even a minute. Now we can push it as far as we can."
"Mom, Dad will get better soon if he knows that you love him so much."
The old lady's eyes were red, and she kept wiping away tears. "There is no such thing as love or not for us. Our generation is different from you young people. We have decided that it is a lifelong thing that we will never abandon. No matter how sick your father is, whether he can move or not, he is the only one I have decided on, and I will never let go of his hand until I die."
Shu Nian listened and watched, and her eyes suddenly became red. In her mind, all she could think of were the words her mother had said to her and her father. That person had also promised her and her father that no matter what the future held, their family would never break up... She would always love them...
But later, Shu Nian realized that some people’s forever is so short… so short…
It was so short that she was caught off guard.
Now, she understands even more... It turns out that some people's love is so cheap. They have already used that love to please others...
As she thought about it, she felt that everything in front of her was gradually becoming more and more blurred. Not wanting to let others see her fragility, she lowered her head and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she was about to put her hand down, a tall figure loomed over her. The next moment, her delicate hand was held by the man's warm hand.
She was stunned.
Then, she was pulled up by a force and fell into a warm and strong embrace.
She raised her eyes, and the familiar face suddenly appeared in her eyes. She felt like she was dreaming. Shouldn't he be out on a business trip right now? However, everything about him was so real, including his real expression, real breathing, and real body temperature...
Ye Yan looked at her solemnly, his eyes moving slowly from her forehead to her swollen face. His hands holding her face were so tense that veins were throbbing. His face showed guilt mixed with deep heartache, "I'm back late..."
The man's words were like the most direct weapon, instantly piercing through all the strength and armor in Shu Nian's heart. A hole was broken in the hard shell, and all the grievances and sadness poured out continuously. She was like a hurt child, helplessly hugging Ye Yan's neck, whimpering, and crying bitterly.
The emotions that had been hidden for so long could no longer be concealed in front of him and all came out.
Ye Yan hugged her tightly, so tightly that he almost wanted to hold her in his body. Her crying was tearing at his nerves. For the first time, he felt the sadness and grievance of a person so truly; he wanted to take a woman under his wings and protect her well.
Some people will give you an indescribable sense of security. Emotions that you dare not release in front of anyone, even your loved ones, can be expressed in front of him without hiding. Shu Nian felt that Ye Yanyu was such a person.
Her emotions were completely out of control. She kept sobbing for a long time and was already a little tired of crying.
Ye Yan picked her up and held her sideways, looking down at her with deep eyes, "No matter how sad you are, you still have to take care of your injuries first."
Once it’s dealt with, it won’t be too late to settle accounts with them slowly!

Ye Yan carried Shu Nian to the super VIP reception room on the top floor of the VIP building. Shu Nian had been to this reception room before, which was the one that Old Lady Bai used to meet him last time.
As soon as they arrived, the doctors and nurses were already standing outside respectfully. Ye Yan asked them to come in, and they pushed the door open and checked the wound of Shu Nian who was sitting on the sofa.
Shu Nian knew that if this happened, everyone would become curious about the relationship between her and Ye Yan.
"How's the wound on the forehead?" Ye Yan asked the doctor as he watched from the side. His cold face made the atmosphere in the entire reception room a little depressing. The doctors and nurses were all very cautious and didn't dare to breathe.
Hearing Ye Yan's question, the doctor quickly said, "The wound is not small, and it will probably need two stitches."
Two stitches!
very good!
very good!
Ye Yan held Shu Nian's hand, calmed himself down, and then asked, "Will it leave a scar?"
"We use cosmetic needles, so it won't be so obvious. But... there will still be some marks."
Ye Yan was about to get angry, but Shu Nian squeezed his hand and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if there is a scar."
He looked down at her.
She chuckled, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "Leaving a scar will allow me to remember how painful it was. I will never forget it no matter how long it has been."
Ye Yan raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Not only can you not leave a scar, but I also won't let you remember this pain." Ye Yan's long fingers slid across her red and swollen face. She blinked in pain, and Ye Yan's eyes showed a little more coldness and pity, "I will remember this pain for you. As long as you remember it, there will definitely be no next time! Shu Nian, I will never let you suffer injustice from them again."
Shu Nian looked at Ye Yan in front of her. Even though he was very restrained and subdued in front of her, she could still feel the hostility on his face.
Even so, his words made her feel warm. There was too much pain in her heart, and even if it couldn't be diluted by a few words, it would still make her feel much better. Moreover, she originally thought that she would no longer believe in promises and guarantees. Even blood relatives could betray her, let alone an outsider? However, at this moment, when Ye Yan said these words, she unconsciously had many more expectations in her heart.
Ye Yan motioned for them to start treating the wound. While the stitches were being done, Ye Yan watched from the side, and the doctors and nurses couldn't help but feel very nervous.
Shu Nian could see it. Moreover, when Ye Yan's expression turned cold, it was oppressive and hard to breathe, so he begged Ye Yan to stop staring. Ye Yan's cell phone rang, so he went to the window to answer the call. His voice was low, and Shu Nian was stitching, so he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, but he would turn around and look at him from time to time. The two people's eyes met, and the worry and comfort between Ye Yan's eyebrows were clearly written on his face.
———
After the stitches were done, the doctor and the nurse left.
Shu Nian and Ye Yan were the only two people left in the living room.
Ye Yan sat down on the sofa with his arms and legs stretched out, patted his legs, and said, "Come and lie down for a while."
Shu Nian did not refuse, but walked over and fell asleep with her head resting on his legs. Her face was filled with deep fatigue.
"Who caused these injuries?" Ye Yan pushed her bangs aside and avoided the white gauze on her forehead with his long fingers.
