  Youyou’s mouth twitched momentarily, and with a bout of cold perspiration, he turned his face away and feigned death.

  His uncle was much tickled by his antics and reached out to pinch the boy’s cheek involuntarily.

  “Youyou, you are behaving very suspiciously, indeed!”


  He slapped his uncle’s hand away and stuck out his tongue at the adult cheekily.

  Yun Shishi pressed on with the uncle-nephew pair. “The two of you had better own up now! What are you hiding from me?”


  Her younger son looked at her sheepishly for a while before coaxing, “Mommy, I’ll tell you after we return home.”


  She agreed to her son’s proposal but inwardly made up her mind not to let this boy slip away with another excuse.

  After ensuring that Yun Yecheng was comfortable, Gong Jie bid farewell to his sister. “Later, I’ll have your father be brought to my place tomorrow for treatment.”


  “Alright!”


  She nodded, walked up to the bed, and whispered to her father, “Dad, don’t worry; you’ll definitely get well!”


  The old man kept staring at her, his throat fidgeting and constantly rolling as if he was trying to say something.

  The woman immediately tried to calm him down. “Your throat is badly burned, so try not to talk now, alright? Have a good rest and get well soon. I still want you to attend my wedding.”


  Her father’s eyes turned soft as his face gradually relaxed. Finally, he decided to listen to her and gently closed his eyes.

  On the way home, the woman suddenly turned to her husband and probed, “When do you want to hold the wedding?”


  “I plan to have it in October.”


  “I’m not sure if dad will be well by then……”


  She pondered for a while before drawing in a deep breath and shaking her head as she said, “No, we can’t. Can we postpone the wedding, please?”


  The twins looked at each other in surprise. “Why?”


  “Your grandfather hasn’t yet recovered. I couldn’t convince myself to have a happy wedding when I saw him suffering in pain today. I feel so guilty.”


  She told her family this with her brows knitted in worry.

  She was steeped in bliss when she went to try on the wedding dresses today, and that filled her with great joy as well as anticipation for the big day. However, the feeling of happiness went away the moment she saw her father suffering in silence.

  There was probably none who could ignore the pain and suffering of their loved one while trying to embrace their own happiness.

  The woman tried to sound out her husband. “We can have the wedding after my dad gets better, yah? For now, we can still go ahead with the photoshoot as planned. Once dad recovers, we can have a happy wedding with everyone present. I don’t wish to have any regrets.”


  She was expecting him to be disappointed, but on the contrary, he gave her an apologetic smile.

  “I’m sorry. I have been inconsiderate.”


  As someone who did not have strong family ties, he had failed to consider his wife’s feelings in this aspect.

  In his case, other than his mother and Little Yichen, he had hardly experienced the warmth of kinship since childhood.

  However, her words hit his conscience, and this was when he realized how much her father’s grave condition had affected the woman. As long as the old man’s health did not improve, she would be unable to look forward to their wedding with joy and peace.

  The man was a perfectionist, so naturally, he would not allow either of them to hold any regrets on their big day.

  “We’ll wait for your dad’s condition to improve before we have the wedding. There’s no hurry,” he reassured her.

  She smiled in comfort and relief.
