59: 0057’s Advance Request

The situation with Shangguan Dao was quickly overshadowed by the arrival of Shen Tianlong.

Seeing that Ye Qiu’s complexion had improved significantly, Shen Tianlong revealed a relieved smile, glanced at the people around, and indicated that he had some words to discuss privately with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was momentarily stunned; Shangguan Dao had just had a private conversation with him, and now Shen Tianlong was doing the same.

Since Ye Qiu had already awakened, Shen Mengchen, Shangguan Hong, and Niu Yinyin decided to return to the Goddess Villa for a while.

Having spent several days at the hospital, the three hadn’t had the chance to properly bathe, and they felt almost moldy.

Ye Zi did not follow the three but chose firmly to stay at the hospital, continuously guarding Ye Qiu.

“Nephew Ye, this time I, Shen Tianlong, narrowly escaped death, all thanks to you.

Seeing you better now, my heart has finally settled down,” sighed Shen Tianlong, his eyes filled with remorse.

If it hadn’t been for Ye Qiu pushing him away at that moment, he would have become a cold corpse, but Ye Qiu had paid a price for it, nearly losing his life.

Shen Tianlong would never forget this debt of gratitude.

Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “It’s what I should do; a little wound can’t kill me.” Ye Qiu laughed, signaling that he was not seriously injured.

Actually, the armed assassin had intended to kill Ye Qiu initially, but because the two were close to each other, Shen Tianlong thought the target was himself; in reality, it was Ye Qiu, but he had blocked the assassin’s line of sight.

Of course, even Ye Qiu hadn’t realized this, let alone Shen Tianlong.

“You don’t look very well,” observed Ye Qiu, as his eyes roved over Shen Tianlong’s figure and finally settled on his face, speaking earnestly.

Shen Tianlong chuckled unconsciously, touched his face, and said, “It might be due to staying up late these past two days.”

While speaking, he coughed twice involuntarily, covering his mouth with his palm, then casually dropped his hand afterward.

“Nephew Ye, what do you think about my daughter Mengchen?” Shen Tianlong took out a tissue, wiped his hands, then tossed it into the garbage bin before returning to the front of the hospital bed, asking seriously.

“Does Director Shen want to hear the good or the bad?” Ye Qiu did not know why Shen Tianlong would say this and asked in response.

“Just say whatever you want, I’ll take it seriously,” Shen Tianlong smiled, his face gathering wrinkles, his eyes gleaming brightly.

Disposing of a serious demeanor, Ye Qiu earnestly said, “Shen Mengchen is still impressionable, but she is a very kind and attentive girl.

Although she has been pampered since childhood, she also possesses her own sincerity.”

Shen Tianlong remained silent, adopting an attentive demeanor, signaling Ye Qiu to continue.

Ye Qiu continued, “Her strengths? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

She’s smart and kind.

Her faults?

She sometimes has a bit of a princess temperament, but that’s understandable since she grew up under your indulgence.

Besides that, there’s nothing negative to say.”

After listening to Ye Qiu’s evaluation, Shen Tianlong nodded, pondered for a while, and finally sighed, “Still not mature enough, when will this girl grow up?”

Shen Tianlong showed a melancholic expression which left Ye Qiu somewhat puzzled, giving the impression of a hero facing his twilight years.

Could it be…

His gaze suddenly shifted, and he quickly jumped down from the hospital bed, picking up the tissue that Shen Tianlong had previously thrown away.

A small patch of red had soaked through the tissue.

Ye Qiu sharply turned around, and Shen Tianlong’s face bore a smile as he casually said, “You saw it, so you must have guessed my intention.”

“Your health…” Ye Qiu grabbed Shen Tianlong’s arm, and his pulse transmitted instantly to his ears.

After a long pause, Ye Qiu regained his composure and earnestly said, “You want Shen Mengchen to take over Longjia Group?”

“Hehe, you should have guessed, my health is very poor, I fear…” Shen Tianlong’s tone paused slightly, causing Ye Qiu to frown.

Shen Tianlong’s health was worse than he had imagined; his pulse was incredibly erratic, the flow of his vital energy irregular, and his entire body seemed in disarray.

Moreover, he felt Shen Tianlong’s heart was in particularly bad condition, even showing signs of failing—a harbinger of impending death.

Looking at Shen Tianlong still smiling in front of him, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but feel admiration.

It seemed that Shen Tianlong had long known about his deteriorating health, but his calmness wasn’t something ordinary people could maintain, with very few able to calmly face approaching death, feeling its encroach closer.

“You must be wondering why I didn’t seek treatment earlier?” Shen Tianlong said calmly to Ye Qiu, who nodded, indeed thinking along those lines.

After all, with Shen Tianlong’s wealth, even severe illnesses could be addressed if discovered early.

“It’s too late, I’m terminally ill, not even the top doctors worldwide could save me.

I’m not afraid of death…

it’s just that I can’t let go of Mengchen…”

“Although I always wanted a son, ever since Mengchen was born, my affection for her has not changed because of this; she is my little princess, everything she wants, I provide.

She resembles her mother—her eyes, her nose, her eyebrows, she looks a lot like her.”

“But my body doesn’t give me much time to wait for Mengchen to mature, so, I hope if one day I suddenly pass away, you will stay by her side and help her.” These last words resonated deeply with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu gently asked, “How long?”

“The doctor says, not more than three months,” Shen Tianlong stated flatly.

Ye Qiu fell silent for a while, observing Shen Tianlong’s hopeful expression and ultimately nodded, “I promise you, I’ll help her uphold the entire Longjia Group, ensuring she faces no peril.”

Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Shen Tianlong immediately showed a happy smile, and the furrowed brows also relaxed instantaneously.

After a long pause, Shen Tianlong steadied his emotions and looked at Ye Qiu earnestly and sincerely, saying, “Thank you.”

Shen Tianlong walked away, and his retreating figure left a deep impression on Ye Qiu.

He seemed to see the young Shen Tianlong who once dominated the business world.

Back then, he must have been full of vigor, standing tall, aiming to make a name for himself in Zhongshan City.

Unfortunately…

Now, what Ye Qiu saw was just a father’s deepest love for his daughter, and his reluctance to part, so he could not refuse and agreed to Shen Tianlong’s request.

…

Ye Zi returned to the ward, and Ye Qiu, seeing Ye Zi’s red eyes from obvious lack of rest, forcibly made her lie down on the bed to rest.

Unable to resist Ye Qiu, Ye Zi quietly rested for a while.

Ye Qiu touched Ye Zi’s forehead, and the corners of the sleeping Ye Zi’s mouth curved into a cute arc.

Having been in a coma at the hospital for several days, Ye Qiu glanced outside the window then shook his rusty body.

He turned and left the ward, going up to the hospital’s rooftop to overlook the scenery below.

The wind was somewhat cool, blowing over his hair tips, enough to make one a lot more clear-headed.

Ye Qiu had stood there for a long time; no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was the conversation with Shen Tianlong just now that made him suddenly melancholic and contemplative.

“Ye Qiu, you’re here.”

It was unclear how much time had passed when a pleasant voice echoed from behind Ye Qiu.

It was Shangguan Hong.

After Shangguan Hong and Shen Mengchen returned to the villa for a shower, Shangguan Hong was the first to come to the hospital.

After entering the ward and discovering that Ye Qiu wasn’t there, she asked a nurse and finally found him here.

“What are you doing here?

Others can’t find you, and they will worry,” Shangguan Hong said, mildly chiding Ye Qiu.

The guy stood motionless in front, and Shangguan Hong walked over to him.

“Life is so short, what are we really living for?” Ye Qiu said faintly, his face expressionless.

Shangguan Hong had never seen such a side of Ye Qiu.

She was surprised for a moment, then responded lightly, “People live to prove that they existed, to leave footprints, regardless of whether others remember them or not.”

“Hehe…” Ye Qiu smiled, his eyes returning from the distance, and turned to look at the elegant figure beside him, saying, “How did you find this place?”

“To find you, I wandered around the hospital for a while,” Shangguan Hong pouted, her expression one of mild complaint.

“You must have something you want to talk to me about,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.

It was the first time he had seen the usually mature Shangguan Hong showing such childlike traits, and he was quite surprised.

“How did you know?” Shangguan Hong’s face showed surprise, then she asked seriously, “What did he tell you?”

The ‘he’ Shangguan Hong referred to was naturally Shangguan Dao, her brother.

Ye Qiu had guessed that Shangguan Hong would ask this and smiled, “Do you want to hear the truth?”

“Of course.”

“Actually…

your brother wants you to marry me.

I didn’t agree, and he was ready to take action.

Yes, that’s the true story,” Ye Qiu said, his expression calm.

Shangguan Hong’s face was quite a picture, caught off guard by Ye Qiu’s shamelessness and not knowing what to say.

In the end, she was so angry that she fiercely pinched Ye Qiu’s waist.

Ah…

a wolf howl erupted from the hospital’s rooftop.

If even the serene and steady Shangguan Hong could be angered into pinching someone, Ye Qiu could also be considered the first.

“If I had agreed to your brother’s coercion into marriage, this would be plotting against your own husband!”

“Ye Qiu, you are still talking nonsense…” Shangguan Hong’s hands tightened again, her face red with anger, nowhere near her usual composure.
