Tang Mo 'er's bright eyes landed on little Gu Sihan. "Sisi, how do you know that Ge Ge doesn't want to marry Little Lemon Meimei? Little Lemon Meimei is the little princess of Castle Guding. She's already famous in Mexico and is known as the number one socialite. If it wasn't for Mommy's engagement with Auntie Shi' shi, how would Ge Ge have a chance?"
Little Gu Sihan ate another potato chip and sighed. "Sigh, I can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep."
"…"
Tang Mo 'er almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though Gu Yelin and Gu Sihan had tried their best to act obedient in front of her, she felt that the siblings had their own independent thoughts and were no longer under her control as their mommy. Tang Mo' er's heart skipped a beat.
She felt so defeated.
Gu Mohan looked at Tang Mo 'er's distressed expression and couldn't help but smile. With the good genes of the Gu and Lu families, his children were not ordinary people.
Yelin and Sihan's IQ was shockingly high.
Gu Mohan wanted to go forward, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Stretching his large palm to press on his chest, Gu Mohan broke out in cold sweat. His vision darkened and his tall body suddenly collapsed.
When the world turned dark, he heard Tang Mo 'er's scream. "Mr Gu!"
…
In the hospital.
Tang Mo 'er stood at the entrance of the ward and looked at the doctor with teary eyes. "Doctor, how's my husband? Why did he suddenly faint? He was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly faint?"
The doctor looked at the medical report in his hand and said with a grave expression, "Mrs Gu, do you know that Mr Gu has been taking sleeping pills?"
Sleeping pills?
These three words exploded in Tang Mo 'er's ears. He had actually … been taking sleeping pills?
She didn't know.
"Mrs Gu, Mr Gu has been taking a large amount of sleeping pills every night for the past three years. This behavior is equivalent to a form of slow suicide. We've just done a checkup on Mr Gu and discovered that there's a shadow over his heart."
Tang Mo 'er gasped. Something … was wrong with his heart?
She looked at the doctor in horror, as though she couldn't breathe.
The doctor continued, "Mrs Gu, don't panic. We're not sure if the shadow is benign or malignant. If it's benign, medication will be enough. If it's malignant, the consequences will be dire."
Tears welled up in Tang Mo 'er's eyes. She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.
Her shoulders trembled and she quickly lifted her eyes to suppress the hot tears in her eyes. "Doctor, please arrange for an examination. Let's see if it's benign now!"
The doctor handed over a copy of the family member's signature. "Mrs Gu, we need the family member's signature here, may I ask …"
The doctor asked hesitantly, "You've already registered your marriage with Mr. Gu, right?"
Tang Mo 'er froze in the middle of taking the pen. She and Mr Gu hadn't registered their marriage yet. They were supposed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but he suddenly collapsed.
"Not yet …"
The doctor was very apologetic. "Mrs Gu, then you can't sign this form."
…
Gu Mohan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling above him. He was in the hospital.
He went into the hospital.
Mo 'er …
He quickly got up.
At this moment, a delicate figure ran over. Tang Mo 'er supported him. "Why are you up? Does your heart still hurt? Lie down first, I'll call the doctor …"
Gu Mohan stretched out his slender fingers and pinched her delicate chin, making her lift her head.
Her pretty nose and clear eyes were red and there were tears in them. One look and he could tell that she had been crying for a long time.
"Why are you crying?" he asked in a low voice.
Tang Mo 'er's eyelashes quivered and she stretched her arms out to hug his neck. "Mr Gu, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage now, okay?"
Gu Mohan hugged her in his arms and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to marry you. I don't want to wait for another minute, not even a second."
Gu Mohan gently pushed her away and held her face with his large palms. Her face was already filled with tears.
He knitted his brows and kissed her tears gently. "Is it because … I'm not feeling well?"
Tang Mo 'er shook her head while crying. "No …"
"Mo 'er, tell me the truth."
Tang Mo 'er buried her face in his large palms and sobbed sadly. "The doctor said that there's a shadow over your heart and they need to do a check to know if it's benign or not. The doctor didn't allow me to sign the papers because … I'm not your wife yet …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly pulled his hand back.
"Gu Mohan!" Tang Mo 'er quickly grabbed his large palms and held them tightly. Lifting her head, she looked at him with teary eyes and shook her head pleadingly. "Don't … don't push me away. I want to be with you … be with you forever and never be separated …"
Gu Mohan looked at her crying face and slowly curved his thin lips. He smiled tenderly. "If you don't let go of me, how am I going to change my clothes and follow you to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Tang Mo 'er froze. A few seconds later, she laughed. She was crying and laughing at the same time like a little fool. "I thought … you didn't want me anymore …"
She thought that he didn't want her anymore because he was sick.
She was very afraid just now.
Compared to the illness, she was more afraid that he would push her away.
Gu Mohan held her little face and used his calloused fingertips to gently wipe away the tears on her face. "Mo 'er, I'm different from you.
"Three years ago, you were seriously ill. When you were about to leave, you even sent me away in advance. You said that you wanted to be the most beautiful red rose in my heart." But I don't think that way.
I haven't done a check yet. Perhaps my illness is benign. So what if it's malignant? I'll just live the rest of my life as if it's my last. I'll make arrangements for Yelin and Sihan's future. I'll love you, protect you and dote on you until I really have no energy left and have to close my eyes. I'll only cherish the time I have with you in the future and cherish you even more.
"Mo 'er, I'm really getting old. When you were born, I already had my eyes on you. But I only found you when I was 29 years old. It was already very late. All these years, we've been separated and reunited countless times. During these three years, my heart ached so much that I couldn't sleep. I needed to take large amounts of sleeping pills to numb myself. There were so many times that I wished that I wouldn't wake up again.
"Three years ago, you were taken away by the sea. I once sank into it and wanted to find you. The moment I saw you again in Paradise Island, I told myself that this time, I'll hold onto your hand tightly.
"Mo 'er, I love you. My love for you has never changed. Poverty, illness, death, none of them can take you away from me."
With that, Gu Mohan planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
His soft and warm lips lingered on her forehead. Tang Mo 'er closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks. But she still managed to force a smile on her face despite the tears rolling down her cheeks.
This was the most touching confession of Mr Gu's life.
