Chapter 1207: Chapter 1179: Qian Always Keeps Her Word

"The simplest way is not to trouble the young couple, let things take their natural course, when the time is right, things will happen naturally. If Bai Jin really wants to have a child for Qiuqiu, then treat her well, regard her as a true daughter-in-law. It’s not easy for these two to have come this far, we can’t control whether outsiders understand this special family, but as a parent, if you can give them your blessing, it will be the most beautiful memory of their lives."

Qian suddenly turned serious and melancholic.

"Xiao, how many more years do you have left? Don’t you want to leave some beautiful memories for your descendants? Don’t you want Qiuqiu and his children to remember you with fondness in the future? When a person dies, it’s like a lamp going out, whether there’s another world after death is unknown. The so-called legacy, rather than leaving genes, it’s more about leaving the memories the ancestors gave us. How do you want Qiuqiu to tell your story to his children decades from now?"

These words truly struck a chord.

Qiuqiu’s dad thought about his emotional turmoil over the past few days, about the moments of joy he’d owed his child, and was filled with mixed emotions at Qian’s words, ultimately just nodding.

"Yes, it’s true, some memories should be left behind for the descendants..."

Qian, having achieved her objective, stood up satisfied, "Bai Jin asked me to tell you, she has agreed to the matter of having a child, you must live well, if you’re lucky, you might see your grandson in a year, if you do exceptionally well and live a few more years, you might even see him go to primary school, or if you hang on longer, you might even see him get married and have a child."

Qiuqiu’s dad was shocked, "How did she agree?!"

He had just talked to Mr. Chen about it, how did she agree so quickly?

"Before Qiuqiu’s plane landed, I already had a conversation with Bai Jin. The young lady decided on the spot; the two of them directly decided to conceive, if successful, they would return to stabilize the pregnancy. Old man, you’re really lucky, having met such a considerate young lady."

"But, but they haven’t formalized their relationship yet, how could she..." After Qian’s explanation, Qiuqiu’s dad also realized it might seem a bit off to talk about having a child without a relationship.

"That’s why you’re lucky, she really values Qiuqiu as a person, and also—" Qian gave Qiuqiu’s dad a warm smile, "We all hope that you can live longer, so you must try your best."

Bai Jin said, life is full of unknowns, she is also unsure of how far she can go with Qiuqiu in the future.

But now she is willing to have a child belonging to both of them for Qiuqiu. If one day they can’t grow old together, she will also regard this child as her own and raise it together with Qiuqiu. Life doesn’t have that many "if onlys", at this moment she follows her heart, wherever the future may lead, it fulfills Bai Jin’s desire to be a mother. She personally dislikes men’s touch but really likes children, so this is also an opportunity to achieve mutual success.

Having resolved the matter with Qiuqiu, Qian began to fulfill her promise to Yu Minglang, no longer taking on any other cases except for the regular treatment of Mu Xiaofeng’s father.

With Bai Jin’s promise, Qiuqiu’s dad was rejuvenated and in better spirits. Even if Qian didn’t go, he had a strong hope for Qiuqiu and them to come back. When a person has hope in their heart, they can usually hold on much longer. In comparison, Mr. Mu, who also needed Qian’s palliative care, wasn’t as lucky as Qiuqiu’s dad.

Mu Xiaofeng is now detained, and Qian, concealing this from Mr. Mu, told him she went on a business trip. Mr. Mu didn’t seem to care either. Whether he was used to his daughter’s constant busyness, or their father-daughter bond was one-sided with only Mu Xiaofeng caring for her father, there wasn’t any reciprocal love from father to daughter.

Mr. Mu was very afraid of death, despite having doctors and top psychologist Qian for treatment, he still sought medical options everywhere. Though every method had been tried, his body had reached its limit. On the 30th day of Mu Xiaofeng’s detention, Mr. Mu was admitted to the ICU.

Mu Xiaofeng’s assets were all frozen, but she had previously left a sum sufficient to support Mr. Mu. Qian took care of all the hospitalization procedures; the old man’s body was exhausted, receiving three critical notices within a week, and was resuscitated several times.

Each time Qian would run over again, doctors would subtly ask Qian if treatment should be ceased. Keeping in mind Mu Xiaofeng’s trust in her, Qian continued to spend heavily to save him, even though she knew the old man surely wouldn’t make it, but as a daughter, Mu Xiaofeng would certainly hope he could live longer.

During this time, a minor incident occurred. The lawyer entrusted by Mu Xiaofeng probably had other ideas. He once hinted to Qian, saying the old man was in such a state, why waste the money, if Qian and the lawyer conspired, nobody would find out if anything went wrong with the old man’s funds.

The lawyer knew Mu Xiaofeng wasn’t coming back and was tempted by greed.

He was aware that Qian was a high-priced psychologist and wanted to seize the opportunity for the two of them to make a fortune, but Qian calmly refused, and the next day the lawyer was informed of his unilateral dismissal.

Qian fulfilled her vow to Mu Xiaofeng, sparing no effort to stay by Mr. Mu until the end.

The hospital would contact her if anything came up, and she became the rightful guardian entrusted by Mu Xiaofeng.

Yu Minglang was worried that his wife might be overburdened but didn’t dare say anything to Qian. He knew his wife was someone who took promises seriously, fulfilling whatever she agreed to.

However, during the rampant flu outbreak, with Qian frequently going to the hospital, she inevitably caught a mild cold. As a pregnant woman, she didn’t dare take Western medicine. Even when prescribed supposedly safe herbal medicine, Qian didn’t dare take it, opting instead for plenty of hot water, often waking up at night with a persistent cough.

Yu Minglang, seeing this, couldn’t stand it any longer. He decisively found someone to replace Qian for hospital visits, preventing her from going out again. It was right around the time of the Chinese New Year, so he took the opportunity to invite his mother-in-law over, under the pretext of celebrating together, but actually to have her watch over Qian.

Qian’s mom brought over a bunch of home remedies for her cold, like cabbage onion soup, orange peel ginger tea, and various hot congees, urging Qian to try them regardless of their effectiveness.

These, Qian could tolerate; colds are usually better with plenty of hot water, and these broths made from food wouldn’t harm her body, they may not cure but wouldn’t worsen her condition either.

But what Qian couldn’t stand wasn’t this; it was something much more serious.

For the sake of ensuring Qian’s pregnancy, her mom brought over an array of superstitious items all for her, guided by the foolish spirit of believing rather than doubting. This, Qian found hard to endure.
