Chapter 699 - 680: Marrying a wife like Lou Xi, no regrets in this life
Qin Mobai sat by the old lady’s bedside, gazing at her pale and lifeless face.
It is said that the old lady fell into a deep sleep and never woke up again, departing without any pain.
To leave without illness or pain must be the greatest mercy for the elderly.
Qin Mobai leaned forward and tucked the hair on the old lady’s cheeks behind her ear, his eyes soft and gentle.
Setting aside the titles of the president of Jia Sheng Group and the Qin Family’s young master, Qin Mobai was the old lady’s most cherished grandson. As a grandson, he naturally had to bid her farewell in the best way possible.
"Grandma, I’m back," Qin Mobai said solemnly to the old lady, "I’m sorry I couldn’t let you see me one last time; it’s unfilial of me as a grandson."
Qin Mobai earnestly apologized to the old lady, enduring the pain in his chest, enduring the unspeakable sadness.
His life had always been filled with declarations and farewells, as those around him left one by one.
A mother he had never seen, an unborn child, a grandmother he couldn’t see one last time... Qin Mobai dared not think about who would be next, yet he couldn’t defy the natural order; birth, old age, sickness, and death were beyond his control.
Qin Mobai held the old lady’s hand, feeling the chill of her body.
His feelings for the old lady were likely deeper than for anyone else in the Qin Family. Born without a mother, the old lady raised him single-handedly. She was his grandmother, yet also like a mother.
The old lady was the family’s paper tiger; she seemed fierce on the outside, but was gentle inside.
Take the matter of his marriage to Lou Xi, for instance. If it hadn’t been for the old lady’s decision, even if they had married, post-marital conflicts with the family wouldn’t have been few.
Regarding the marriage, Qin Mobai was very grateful to the old lady.
Yet, before he could express all his gratitude, the old lady left just like that.
Qin Mobai always thought there was plenty of time, always felt that the old lady would wait until he and Lou Xi had children, until their family spanned four generations.
But, all of this came to an abrupt end.
Qin Mobai furrowed his brows slightly, knowing that no matter what he said now, the old lady couldn’t hear it.
Regret remains regret.
As he endured the internal condemnation, Qin Mobai suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, patting him, silently giving him the strength to persevere.
"Take some painkillers, then rest in the room for a while. I and Dad will handle Grandma’s funeral; your health isn’t fully recovered, and I worry you can’t manage it." Taking painkillers was a last resort, but seeing Qin Mobai’s pale complexion, Lou Xi felt that he must endure it for now.
Qin Mobai took the glass and painkillers Lou Xi handed him.
"You step aside; I’ll change Grandma’s clothes," Lou Xi said, turning to get the clothes.
Qin Mobai held Lou Xi’s hand, "Aren’t you afraid?"
In Qin Mobai’s impression, Lou Xi wasn’t the bravest, and now asking her to change his passed grandmother’s clothes, he worried she might be frightened.
"Not afraid, she’s Grandma; what’s there to fear?" Lou Xi said earnestly, truly showing no sign of fear in her words and expression, "Besides, Grandma treated me well, I regard her as my own grandmother."
To marry someone like Lou Xi, this life holds no regrets.
As if knowing what Qin Mobai was about to say, Lou Xi shook her head at him, everything wasn’t severe, where would they as a couple need such courteous formalities?
