Capítulo 23: ~Darling nickname~
"W… what? Both of you are getting married? Is this for real? Or are you just trying to cheer up this old man?" Xiao Chuan looked in disbelief, but tears rolled down his cheeks as well. Qiao Xin, who saw that, also cried. Then she nodded her head.
"Yes, Grandpa Han. We have decided to get married. Maybe, we still don't get to know each other that well. We also still don't love each other. But we are sure that it will grow in time. Isn't there a saying that love can come at any time? It can come because we are often together, for example. I believe in that, Grandpa Han."
"Then?" Xiao Chuan looked at his grandson. As if he wanted to hear the good news from his grandson's mouth too. If it was Qiao Xin who spoke, he still didn't fully believe it. Because Xiao Chuan knows who Qiao Xin is. A good girl who never felt the heart for anything.
"What Miss Liu said is true, Grandpa. We're getting married. We are not doing this just for your sake. Recently, we have had a lot of circumstances that drive us closer to each other. And yes, from Miss Liu's story earlier when she was about to commit suicide and jumped into the river. I was the one who saved him, Grandpa. That's why I think a lot about it all. When I saved her, and saw Miss Liu in an unconscious state with wounds on her body, I thought more deeply. What Miss Liu experienced was really not a good thing. And I want to protect him. I don't want bad things to happen again in front of my eyes. It is possible that from a good intention to protect her a seed of love will grow, so that our marriage will last forever. Isn't that a good thing, Grandpa?"
Xiao Long seemed to put his big hands on Qiao Xin's shoulders, making Qiao Xin fall silent. However, Qiao Xin knew what Xiao Long had done was improvising what they had agreed on. Qiao Xin gently stroked Xiao Long's hand, and then she smiled back at Xiao Chuan.
"I'm really very happy, I didn't expect that Long would be willing to grant this request of mine. Long, just so you know what Grandpa chose is the best for you. Indeed, Miss Liu is not from the same family as us. Her modesty, her honesty, she is something you can't just ignore. Miss Liu is a very kind person. Miss Liu has the distinctive character that you will not find in another woman."
Xiao Long's gnashed his jaw. If only his grandfather knew that Qiao Xin only wanted his family's money, indeed, his grandfather would feel sorry for what he said now. However, Xiao Long had no time. He didn't have time to prove that to his grandfather. Now Xiao Long's priority is his grandfather's recovery. If his grandfather were happy and had the passion for living a little longer, Xiao Long would slowly try to show him what Xiao Long thinks of her.
"Grandpa, you have just recovered from a quite bad state. So now, Grandpa should be resting. Miss Liu and I will be waiting for Grandpa outside. After all, Miss Liu also hasn't eaten for a while now. We'll have our lunch together."
"Miss Liu?" Xiao Chuan said, Xiao Long seemed confused by his grandfather's words. "Don't address her in such a formal manner. Just address her by her name. You definitely don't mind, right, Qiqi?"
"Qiqi? Me?" Qiao Xin said confusedly. Then, she smiled and nodded too.
"Yes, Qiqi. I think that nickname suits you perfectly."
Qiao Xin smiled faintly again, and she didn't expect that such a strange nickname would be given to her. However, she didn't mind it at all as long as Xiao Chuan was happy. That was what Qiao Xin wished for.
"Yeah, I think it's a sweet nickname. Isn't that so, Young Mr. Han?"
"You shouldn't call Long that formal either, Qiqi. Just call him Xiao Long, or Long, or if you have a preferred nickname like Darling, Love, Sweet, or whatever."
Hearing this come out of Xiao Chuan's mouth, Qiao Xin lowered her head. Her face was glowing red with embarrassment. The same goes for Xiao Long. He was amused discussing matters like this with his grandfather. Moreover, together with Qiao Xin as well.
"Alright, whatever Grandpa wants," Xiao Long agreed to his grandfather. Then he gently squeezed Qiao Xin's shoulder again. "Qiqi, let's go out. Grandpa needs rest, you should also have lunch so you get better soon," Xiao Long finally said.
Qiao Xin finally got up from her seat, and then she looked at Xiao Chuan with a sad look. She knew that Xiao Long didn't take her out to eat. However, there was a lot the two of them had to discuss now. There were many things, which Qiao Xin was sure that she had to bear through such an annoying figure like Xiao Long.
"Grandpa, me and," Qiao Xin paused. She really found it awkward to address Young Mr. Han as Xiao Long now. "Me and Xiao Long are going out for lunch. Did Grandpa want something? We can buy some food for you too. I'll ask the nurse if you are allowed to eat other food that is not provided by the hospital. If they allow you, then I'll buy it for Grandpa. Or when I get home later, I'll make some delicious porridge for Grandpa. So, Grandpa, get some rest, okay?"
"Okay, I'll take a break soon. You two are so attentive, don't think too much about me. Spend time together more often, Grandpa will always wish you well. And Grandpa will take care of your marriage."
Qiao Xin and Xiao Long couldn't help but smile blandly. Marriage has become something that really drove them insane. Both of them seemed to have to get it done even though they were really unprepared.
