Su Hongxing did not give any response to Ye Qn.
Regardless of whether Ye Qn remembered anything from his past life, she had never thought of rekindling their past rtionship.
In her view, things that have slipped away are gone, regardless of the reasons behind it.
It seemed that Ye Qn had anticipated her reaction. He didn’t say much, just apanied her to the hospital.
When Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su saw Ye Qn, they felt a little intimidated.
Both grandmother and granddaughter had an instinctive aversion to risks. The first time theyid their eyes on Ye Qn, they knew this man was not to be trifled with—he was dangerous.
While Ye Qn was there, Grandma Jiang didn’t say a word.
As soon as Ye Qn stepped out of the ward, Grandma Jiang grabbed Su Hongxing’s hand tightly and said earnestly, “You don’t have something going on with Mr. Ye, do you? Listen to your grandmother this time; no matter how good Mr. Ye may be, you can’t afford to provoke him. A man of his background, how could he take a fancy to you? At most it’ll just be a casual fling.”
Even though Hongxing from their family was certainly outstanding and not out of Ye Qn’s league, when did rich men ever truly mean well?
“Things between him and me are not as you think…”
Su Hongxing heard some noise at the door and turned around to see Ye Qn bringing back some hot water. He held her hand in front of Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su, not trying to hide it at all.<div>
Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su looked at each other. Both of them were the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, so they didn’t dare to say anything in front of Ye Qn.
Su Hongxing spent the morning at the hospital, and Ye Qn spent the entire morning with her there.
Su Hongxing wanted to make a scene and drive Ye Qn away.
However, Ye Qn was always able to diffuse the awkwardness in a few words, which left her feeling frustrated.
At this moment, she found herself missing the old Ye Qn. He was easier to handlepared to the Ye Qn she was faced with now.
Upon leaving the hospital, she fell asleep as soon as she got into the car.
When she woke up to find they were on the highway, she turned to Ye Qn and asked, “Where are we going?”
Ye Qn looked at his wristwatch: “We’ll reach our destination in an hour. Do you want to sleep a bit longer on myp?”
Su Hongxing nced at his leg and chose to lean on the back of the seat and feign sleep instead.
And sure enough, she fell asleep again.
When she awoke, she found that the car had stopped.
The apricot trees in the distance were swaying in the breeze, showing off their graceful figures. Ye Qn was standing under an apricot tree, leaves spiraling in the wind and settling on his shoulders.
The sun was setting, elongating his silhouette, which looked slightly deste.
This was Apricot Garden.
The Apricot Garden that Ye Xiandong had once brought her to.
She sat in the car, staring at the endless apricot trees and then at the man standing amongst the trees. Unconsciously, she also felt a pang of mncholy.
She eventually got out of the car and walked slowly up to Ye Qn. “Why did you suddenly bring me here?”
“I nted these apricot trees myself, and they’ve grown well over the years,” Ye Qn said, warmth in his eyes as he looked out at the lush Apricot Forest.<div>
Su Hongxing didn’t know how to respond.
When Ye Xiandong had brought her to the Apricot Garden, she had suspected that this apricot forest had something to do with her. Ye Qn’s words confirmed her suspicion.
What she didn’t understand was, did Ye Qn know about her existence fifteen years earlier? After all, this Apricot Garden had been Ye Qn’s property for the past fifteen years.
And Ye Qn had just said that he had nted these apricot trees himself.<div>
When he said he had been waiting for her for a long time, did he mean he had been waiting for her to grow up since fifteen years ago?
