Chen Bin smiled and pinched Wen Wan's cheek, "Because I hate you."
At that mont, she was at her most vulnerable, and upon hearing those words, she imdiately threw herself into Chen Bin's embrace and cried.
"Thank you, thank you for being so good to ."
"You don't have to thank . I'm just a fool, and right now I only want to be good to you."
"No, you're the best man in the world!"
Looking up at Chen Bin, the depths of Wen Wan's eyes were filled with tenderness.
Clearly, she had already developed so feelings for this man.
In the ti that followed, the two of them talked for a long ti.
Chen Bin even revealed his identity as an orphan.
Upon hearing it, Wen Wan's attention clearly shifted.
That night, the elderly lady who had been in a coma suddenly woke up, and she was in surprisingly good spirits.
Wen Wan was overjoyed, once again crying tears of joy.
Yet Chen Bin's heart tightened, sensing that the elderly lady's condition seed like a final rally.
Kneeling by the bedside, Wen Wan held her mother's hand.
"Mom, you finally woke up."
The elderly lady forced a smile on her pale face, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of Wen Wan's eyes.
"Good child, don't cry. Birth, aging, illness, and death are part of life. Everyone has to face this soday."
"No, I don't want you to die! In this world, you're the only family I have left."
Seeing her stubborn daughter, the elderly lady smiled helplessly.
She turned to look at Chen Bin, and after observing him, she asked with curiosity.
"Young man, who are you..."
Chen Bin imdiately smiled and replied, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Wen Wan's boyfriend."
Hearing this, Wen Wan was visibly taken aback.
Although she had developed so feelings for Chen Bin, they were not in a romantic relationship.
The elderly lady's eyes brightened, and a trace of joy appeared on her weary and aged face.
"Young man, you're not lying to , are you?"
"Auntie, I'm not lying. If you don't believe , you can ask Wan."
The elderly lady quickly turned to Wen Wan, "Wan, is what this young man says true?"
"Yes... it's true."
Wen Wan didn't know why, but as she admitted it, her heart started racing, and she beca shy.
With the confirmation, the elderly lady was even happier.
"Haha, good! That's wonderful! With soone to look after Wan, even if I die, I can rest in peace."
These words imdiately caused Wen Wan's displeasure, "Mom, what are you talking about? Don't keep ntioning death, it's unlucky."
After nodding, the elderly lady looked at Chen Bin.
"Young man, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Chen Bin took two steps forward and answered.
"Auntie, my na is Chen Bin, I'm thirty-six after New Year's, currently working at the governnt departnt in Yanxi."
"Are you truly sincere about Wan? Do you want to marry her?"
"Of course, I'm sincere! I've gone to great lengths to pursue Wan. If I can marry her, my life would be fulfilled."
Seeing Chen Bin's sincere gaze, the elderly lady turned to look at Wen Wan.
"Wan, you're not getting any younger. Xiao Chen seems nice, and if you two get married, you'll surely be happy."
Glancing at Chen Bin, Wen Wan couldn't help but recall the scene from the previous night.
She replied, "It's too soon to say if we'll be happy. I still need to think about it."
"There's no need to think about it. It's better to get married sooner. If I can hold a grandchild, I can die without regrets."
"See, you always like to say such unlucky things!"
"Child, your mother doesn't have much ti left. I truly hope that you two can grow old together and live peacefully for the rest of your lives."
Chen Bin, trying to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too sad, jumped in.
"Auntie, you'll recover soon. After you're discharged, I want you to attend our wedding with Wan."
"But what if I don't recover? The two of you must promise now, to stay together forever, or else... I won't die in peace!"
Seeing the elderly lady in tears, Wen Wan's heart ached.
"Mom, don't cry. We'll promise you!"
"Then both of you kneel down for !"
Upon hearing the words "kneel down," Wen Wan furrowed her brows slightly, showing so reluctance.
Because every ti she heard those words, it ant that Chen Bin was going to tornt her.
At that mont, Chen Bin was already kneeling by the elderly lady's bedside, reaching out to pull the hem of Wen Wan's clothes.
For her mother's happiness, she ultimately knelt down as well.
The elderly lady barely sat up, sternly looking at Wen Wan.
"Wan, you must promise , make sure to grow old with Chen Bin, or else I won't die well,"
"Mom, how can you..."
"Didn't you hear ? Quickly, say it!"
Sighing, Wen Wan reluctantly said, "I will definitely grow old with Chen Bin."
"What about the second half of the sentence?"
"Mom!"
"I want you to say it, did you hear?!"
Seeing her mother's stubborn expression, Wen Wan finally gave in.
"I will definitely grow old with Chen Bin, otherwise... otherwise my mom won't die well."
The elderly lady turned to Chen Bin, "Chen Bin, you must promise that you'll marry Wan and never go back on your word."
In Chen Bin's heart, aside from Zhao Xini, the only woman he could marry was Ma Juan.
It was absolutely impossible to marry Wen Wan.
But to make the elderly lady happier, he finally responded.
"I will definitely marry Wan and always treat her well."
"Great, that's wonderful!"
The elderly lady held both of their hands, expressing her imnse happiness.
"I hope you're both being honest, and that you'll be happy together in the future. If circumstances allow, have more children; only with children will it feel like a family..."
"Oh, Mom! Don't get ahead of yourself."
In the days that followed, the elderly lady seed particularly energetic, as if she had endless things to say from morning till night.
Only when she was utterly exhausted would she finally close her eyes.
In Wen Wan's eyes, this was a sign of imminent improvent, making her very happy.
However, Chen Bin furrowed his brow, feeling that the situation wasn't very optimistic.
That night, right after the three of them had fallen asleep, Chen Bin heard a piercing alarm from a machine.
He quickly opened his eyes to find a straight line on the heart monitor.
Not daring to hesitate for a mont, Chen Bin rushed out of the ward to call for a doctor.
The elderly lady was taken for a prolonged resuscitation, but ultimately, it was unsuccessful.
Wen Wan cried her heart out, completely losing all sense of direction.
Even the arrangents for the elderly lady's affairs were handled by Chen Bin.
Wen Wan couldn't bear the blow and fell ill in the hospital.
Chen Bin remained steadfast by her side, silently guarding.
Holding Wen Wan's hand, he spoke earnestly.
"Auntie's passing has caused you an irreplaceable pain, so I won't offer empty comfort. But we've already promised Auntie that we'll grow old together. No matter what changes the future holds, I'll always be there for you."
Tears fell once again, and Wen Wan seed to grasp the last straw of salvation.
"Will you really always be with ?"
