Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 654: Chapter 655: Never Stopped Loving Him

Grandma continued to lament, “You all think I’m getting senile, my memory is indeed deteriorating, but I remember everything that happened between you two very clearly. However, your kids these days are different from our time. Back then, two people might never have met each other, and with a cow, a piece of cloth, and a maiden’s heart, you were married to a man – and once you were married, it was for life. Now, you date for a few years, get married, and divorces are a dime a dozen. Grandma doesn’t understand what went wrong with you guys, and I haven’t asked about it. I only ask you one question, do you still like NanNan?”

Gu Qichen bowed his head.

He seemed like a child.

There were many things he had always kept in his heart, things he couldn’t share with anyone.

Because to others, it may just be a joke.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But in front of Grandma, he could no longer hide himself.

Gu Qichen said softly: “I’ve never stopped loving her for a moment.”

Gu Qichen felt that the word ‘like’ used by the old lady was not quite right.

Liking to the extreme is love.

And he has loved to the extreme, if he had to find a word to describe it, it would be sweet suffering.

Over the years, the pain Xia Yangyang brought him was innumerable, the disappointment, the emptiness, the boundless agony like drowning.

But he bore it willingly.

Grandma spoke: “If you still like NanNan, I will help you. You are a good boy, I remember all your kindness to me over these years. I know I’m senile and afraid that I might forget everything in the future, so before that, I want to see you with my beloved granddaughter again.”

Gu Qichen was surprised: “Grandma, you…”

Grandma smiled, “You think you can hide your little schemes from me? If I were truly healthy, would you have brought me to this city and provided me with a team of doctors? I may be illiterate, but I understand my own body. I’m fine; it’s just old age creeping up. The only woe I carry is about you two.”

Gu Qichen didn’t expect Grandma’s heart to be so clear.

Grandma said: “Ah Chen, don’t worry. NanNan has been dutiful since a young age, she will listen to me. Besides me, you also have your biological son. The two most important people in her life are on your side, what else are you afraid of?”

Gu Qichen smiled: “Grandma, you’re right.”

Grandma said: “Okay, stop kneading the dough. Let me handle it, you go and see if NanNan needs any help.”

Gu Qichen stepped out of the small kitchen.

Xia Yangyang was rummaging for shepherd’s purse in the snow.

This shepherd’s purse is a wild vegetable, not intentionally grown in one place. At the time, the old lady had casually sprinkled a handful of seeds all over the vegetable fields, resulting in them being scattered everywhere, and each shepherd’s purse was clustered together very closely. Covered by snow, it was quite a fuss to pick them out.

Gu Qichen walked over: “Do you need my help?”

Xia Yangyang was squatting in the vegetable plot, wearing rubber shoes.

Her hands and feet had already turned icy cold.

Yet, she just turned around and glanced at Gu Qichen: “No need, I can manage.”

“At this rate, I fear we may not eat shepherd’s purse dumplings till tomorrow,” Gu Qichen said in an indifferent tone.

Gu Qichen was right.

Her efficiency was too low.

Xia Yangyang stood up: “So, does Mr. Gu have a better plan?”

Gu Qichen motioned Xia Ye over: “Let’s divide the work up. Xia Ye, you’re in charge of locating. Once you find one, clear the snow away. I’ll dig up the shepherd’s purse.”

Then he said to Xia Yangyang: “You’re in charge of choosing the vegetables and washing them. That way, we’ll be very efficient.”
