Chapter 865 - 861: The Journey Begins
Le Zhengsheng held her hand, "Don’t be nervous."
Le Zhengpeng looked at his son, "Tsk! You kid, you’re too protective! Can I eat Ningning? Ningning?"
"Hey!" Gu Xiaoning stood up nervously, "Please, go ahead."
"Hey, sit, sit, sit." Le Zhengpeng smiled cheerfully, "I promised you, if you get pregnant, there will be a reward... house, land, what do you want?"
"Ah?" Gu Xiaoning became even more nervous and shook her head and hands hurriedly, "I don’t want... there’s no need for it!"
Le Zhengsheng laughed, "If the old man gives it to you, just take it... he doesn’t lack money."
"Yeah." Le Zhengpeng nodded, "That’s true, but now I don’t plan to give it!"
Both Le Zhengsheng and Gu Xiaoning were taken aback, Le Zhengsheng grew anxious first, "Dad, what are you up to now?"
"Don’t worry." Le Zhengpeng glared at his son, "It’s only Ningning who can tolerate you, indulge you, I haven’t finished my words!"
Gu Xiaoning grew anxious, wrinkling her features, "Uncle, I didn’t say I want to marry A-Sheng right now... I..."
"Haha." Le Zhengpeng burst into laughter, "See, you’re anxious too. What I’m trying to say is! After A-Sheng’s treatment is over, since he has to go back to rest for a while... just seize this opportunity to go back and arrange your wedding, okay?"
Silence.
Le Zhengsheng and Gu Xiaoning looked at each other, Gu Xiaoning suddenly covered her face, "A-Sheng!"
Le Zhengsheng held her hand, "That happy?"
...Marrying someone like him, is she really that happy?
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoning nodded firmly and bowed, "Uncle! Thank you! Thank you!"
Le Zhengpeng reached out to support her, "Don’t bow, you have the little grandson of the Lezheng Family in your belly... he’s precious!"
"Yes." Gu Xiaoning’s eyes were reddened.
"Hey." Le Zhengpeng sighed, "I wronged you, good child. After going back, I will definitely give you and A-Sheng a perfect wedding... seeing that belly will grow bigger, I mustn’t wrong my little grandson."
Gu Xiaoning felt guilty, "Uncle, what if it’s not a grandson?"
"Uh..." Le Zhengpeng paused, his eyes turning red, "I like granddaughters too."
"Yes." Gu Xiaoning smiled, with tears in her eyes.
...
After Lu Jinxuan left, Yu Sangwan kept an eye on his news.
Actually, ever since he left Guan Chao, there has been more news compared to before.
However, it is not optimistic.
There’s a noise at the entrance; it’s Gong Xueyan returning.
"Xueyan!" Yu Sangwan immediately went out to greet her.
"What happened?" Gong Xueyan noticed her odd expression, "Why so urgent?"
"Haven’t you heard?" Yu Sangwan asked anxiously.
Gong Xueyan furrowed her brows and nodded, "I have, but it’s still uncertain... Besides, you are a journalist and have stayed at Guan Chao, you should understand that the border conflict is really unpredictable... Moreover, the President’s news might be blocked."
"It’s not..."
Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I don’t know how to explain my feeling, Xueyan, ever since he left this time, I’ve always had a restless feeling, as if something big is going to happen."
Gong Xueyan frowned, "Why? Do you have any basis for this?"
"No." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "But this feeling is really strong!"
"But..." Gong Xueyan didn’t quite understand, "What do you plan to do?"
Yu Sangwan was silent for a moment, bit her lip, and seemingly made a huge decision, "I want to go find him!"
"What?" Gong Xueyan was shocked, "Don’t be silly, the President went to great lengths to keep you in a safe place... how can you even think of going to a dangerous place?"
Yu Sangwan pursed her lips, "I know this thought is wrong, but I really can’t stay put! I won’t get close, I just want to be where if anything happens to him... I can quickly get to him."
"But." Gong Xueyan still disagreed, "Your belly!"
"I will just stay far away, won’t get close... if he’s okay, I’ll come back. If by any chance..." Yu Sangwan nervously held onto Gong Xueyan, her eyes filled with worry, "Xueyan, don’t you understand? At this moment, even being a bit closer to him is good."
Gong Xueyan was silent for a long time before finally agreeing.
"Alright, I’ll go with you!"
"Xueyan!" Yu Sangwan was delighted, "You... can you?"
Gong Xueyan nodded, "I can take leave from work, I wouldn’t agree to you going alone. Now that Le Zhengsheng has Gu Xiaoning, who else do you have besides me?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was very grateful, "Thank you, I know I’m being willful."
"Don’t mention it." Gong Xueyan patted her shoulder, "I understand, I understand your feelings."
It’s not wise to delay, since the decision is made, preparations began.
Le Zhengsheng and Gu Xiaoning heard the news and hurried over.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go?" Le Zhengsheng was still worried, "It’s too chaotic there, do you really need to go? If the President finds out, he certainly won’t agree."
"A-Sheng." Yu Sangwan smiled faintly, "Accompanying a loved one in their hardest time is also a blessing! I don’t want him to be alone."
At the moment, everything seemed peaceful and calm, but... the sorrow of parting and the unknown future made them emotional.
This island is a special place.
Yu Sangwan looked at Le Zhengsheng, stepped forward, and hugged him gently, "A-Sheng, I’m going... take good care of yourself, for Ningning and the child, recover well."
Le Zhengsheng choked up, "You too... without me in the future, you have to be well."
"Ha." Yu Sangwan laughed through tears, "I will, I definitely won’t be gone for long... I will definitely make it back for your and Ningning’s wedding."
"Wanwan!" Le Zhengsheng supported her back, so many emotions gathered in his heart.
He lowered his head, whispering in her ear, "I know Helian Si is Lu Jinxuan, and I also know... he’s troubled by this. If you see him, pass on a message for me, as long as I, Le Zhengsheng, have a breath left, the Lezheng Family will always stand by him!"
Yu Sangwan’s eyes stung intensely, "Yes, I will definitely pass it on."
She turned back, looking at Gu Xiaoning, smiling, "Ningning, if the one in your belly is a girl, she can be betrothed to Little Mantou! They will be just the right age for each other."
Gu Xiaoning grinned, "Sure!"
Le Zhengsheng snorted, rubbing her head, "Silly wife, what if the child doesn’t want to? You just agreed?"
"Pfft." Gu Xiaoning snickered, "You’re silly! Little Mantou is going to be the President in the future! Shouldn’t I reserve it in advance? First Lady!"
Watching them, Yu Sangwan’s mood seemed a bit lighter. Once everything was settled, Yu Sangwan and Gong Xueyan together set off on their journey.
After they left, Gu Xiaoning also began preparations to leave.
Le Zhengsheng’s treatment was nearing its end, and the next one wouldn’t be for a while.
