CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 351: FORGETTING

"Dad..." Wan Chu’er timidly called out.

Wan Shiguo’s face began to contort in agony as he looked at Wan Chu’er, "Chuchu, my Chuchu, take good care of your mother."

Then starting from his feet, he gradually turned into powder, a gust of wind blew him away, disappearing into thin air.

"No!" Wan Chu’er screamed heart-wrenchingly, reaching out her hand to grasp Wan Shiguo, but as soon as her hand touched his body, that part immediately turned into dust and flew away from her grip.

"Dad, please, Dad, please don’t leave... Mom is already gone... Dad, give me one more chance, this time I will definitely... definitely find you and rescue you... Dad..."

In the end, Wan Shiguo still disappeared without even a trace of powder left behind. Wan Chu’er felt an excruciating pain in her heart, it coiled up, and she felt like she was about to die.

Jiang Kechu, who was standing guard beside Wan Chu’er, suddenly found that she had started sobbing in her unconscious state, tears flowing from her tightly shut eyes like water.

"Chuchu, Chuchu, wake up," Jiang Kechu hurriedly tried to wake her up, slapping her gently, but Wan Chu’er showed no response and continued crying incessantly.

The tears and sobbing caused Jiang Kechu unbearable heartache, and he shouted, "Doctor, Doctor—"

A group of doctors in white coats quickly ran in, and after examining her, the leading doctor shook his head, "The patient is excessively heartbroken and doesn’t want to wake up." Seeing Jiang Kechu’s face growing even more distressed, the doctor quickly added, "Let her cry, it’s also a form of release and venting."

When the doctors and nurses saw Jiang Kechu throwing himself back onto Wan Chu’er, they quickly sneaked out, understanding the pain of the family, but this man was too terrifying, with the potential to turn into a wild beast at any moment, so they better leave quickly.

Jiang Kechu could only continuously wipe away Wan Chu’er’s tears, speaking softly to her, trying to comfort her gently to make her feel a bit more comfortable.

Two days later, Wan Chu’er finally woke up, she opened her eyes only to feel them swell painfully, everything before her was a blur, she was stunned.

Then, a hoarse voice came from beside her, "Chuchu, Chuchu, are you awake?"

Jiang Kechu joyfully discovered that Wan Chu’er had opened her eyes, he quickly got up and then Wan Chu’er saw his haggard face, his beard in disarray.

"Jiang Kechu, what happened to you?" Wan Chu’er asked instinctively, wondering why Jiang Kechu’s voice was so hoarse and why he looked so tired.

Jiang Kechu smiled, quickly replied in a gentle voice, "I’m fine, do you want some water? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Am I feeling uncomfortable?"

Wan Chu’er felt a deep ache in her heart, throbbing in pain. Why was it hurting? She thought and thought but couldn’t figure out the reason, so she said, "My heart hurts, what’s wrong with me? Am I sick?"

Jiang Kechu stiffened for three seconds before he responded, carefully observing Wan Chu’er. He saw her looking at him with a pitiful expression, and he cautiously said, "You... you had a high fever and fainted, you’ve been lying in the hospital bed for three days."

These three days had been like years to him, caught between worrying for Wan Chu’er and his own guilt.

I had a fever?

Why did she have a fever? Her health has always been good, during her four years of college, she never fell sick once, even Mai Qiqi was quite envious.

Jiang Kechu realized something; Wan Chu’er had forgotten her experiences in Country H. After thinking for a while, he decided not to bring it up again. It’s better if she forgot, if she forgot, she won’t be in pain anymore.

The next day, Wan Chu’er recovered her health and became lively and jubilant again, pestering Jiang Kechu for a long time.

"Jiang Kechu, I don’t want to stay in the hospital, it smells really bad here."

"Uncle Jiang, I want to go home, it’s more comfortable at home."

"Please."

...

Faced with Wan Chu’er like this, how could Jiang Kechu harden his heart? After asking the doctor to check several times and finding no problems, he finally took Wan Chu’er back to the old house.

"Behave and stay at home. We are getting married in five days. Call me if you need anything."

Thinking of the wedding, Wan Chu’er became happy and chattered non-stop about the things she and Mrs. Jiang had picked out, eventually proudly saying: "Jiang Kechu, you’ll be satisfied with the things I chose." She knew Jiang Kechu’s taste too well.

Jiang Kechu smiled and gently stroked her head, tenderly saying: "Mm, I like whatever you pick."

After much persuasion, he got her to lie down and take another nap. Watching Wan Chu’er close her eyes, Jiang Kechu quietly left her room.

In Old Sir Zhong’s room.

"Are you going to keep hiding it like this?" Old Sir Zhong asked in a deep voice, visibly aged.

Jiang Kechu gave a bitter smile, "Let’s get married first, I’ll tell her slowly after the marriage."

Actually, he was scared deep down, scared that if Wan Chu’er remembered anything about Wan Shiguo, she would stop dealing with him. Initially, it was he who had stopped Wan Chu’er from investigating further, and that had cost a lot of time.

Both fell silent. Li Shan, beside them, looked down on Jiang Kechu for his evasive behavior, which really was just self-deception.

Wan Chu’er woke up feeling refreshed and recalled that in five days, she would be marrying Jiang Kechu. She couldn’t help but smile. In her previous life, the two did not have a wedding ceremony; they simply got registered.

This time was different. They would have a warm and beautiful wedding, with both families and friends present to witness and bless.

"Wan Chu’er, Wan Chu’er are you awake? If you are, come out." As Wan Chu’er sweetly daydreamed about her and Jiang Kechu’s wedding, Xiao Bai’s noisy voice sounded from outside.

Initially, Wan Chu’er didn’t want to bother with him, but then Xiao Bai added: "Quick, look at the present I prepared for you. If you don’t wake up, I’m taking it back."

So, Wan Chu’er instantly woke up and called out, "I’m coming, I’m coming."

The courtyard stone table was filled with items, and Li Shan and the old master were both there.

"Grandpa." Wan Chu’er greeted Old Sir Zhong with a smile and then headed towards the pile of gifts. There were bags from Brand H, and upon seeing them, her mouth twitched. Xiao Bai had bought the same style in eight different colors.

Xiao Bai proudly said: "There are seven days in a week, you can change every day, and I heard you girls really like this bag. You can use the spare one for fun."

Haha, what a spendthrift!

Wan Chu’er continued looking. A five-piece set of jewels from Brand J, very uniquely designed; two plane tickets to Country S; a new sports car key; a set of out-of-print books that she had mentioned in passing to Xiao Bai who surprisingly remembered and actually got them for her.

"How about that? Pretty comprehensive, right? Aren’t I good to you?" Xiao Bai fished for praise.

Wan Chu’er smiled and said, "The game I developed in my sophomore year made you at least six million, the campus app I developed in my junior year brings in tens of millions in revenue each year, and the products I mentioned later aren’t doing badly either, right? Second Brother, how much are you worth now?"
