Chapter 990 - 220: Epilogue 14
Rong Sinan looked at Xiao Nanqing in the elevator’s reflective wall, then at himself, and frowned.
Worried that Rong Sinan might cause trouble again, Lei Yicheng went to the ward first, and Gu Yan was tasked with going to the mall to buy clothes for Rong Sinan. Meanwhile, Rong Mochen and Xiao Nanqing accompanied Rong Sinan to a nearby hotel to clean up.
An hour passed before Rong Sinan emerged from the bathroom, freshly dressed.
Seeing Rong Sinan return to his elegant, refined appearance, Rong Mochen and the others raised their eyebrows.
After leaving the hotel, Rong Sinan instructed Gu Yan to investigate Qin Yue’s recent activities and called those secretly monitoring Tang Ruan to be more vigilant. If there was any suspicion of Tang Ruan’s escape, they were to detain her immediately.
This time, if it was revealed that Tang Ruan was causing trouble behind the scenes, Rong Sinan was determined not to let her go!
...
After receiving Rong Sinan’s instructions, Gu Yan separated from the group and returned to his "secret base".
Meanwhile, Rong Mochen and Xiao Nanqing accompanied Rong Sinan to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the ward, Lei Yicheng was seated with his head bowed on a chair by Yige’s bedside, his hands tightly clasped on the edge of the bed, staring intently with bloodshot eyes at the pale and weary Tang Yige.
Rong Zhengfeng was seated facing Yige’s bed beside Rong Rui’s bed.
When they arrived, Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes tightened momentarily.
Rong Sinan stood by Yige’s bedside, his eyes heavy with a deep red hue, staring intensely at Yige.
Xiao Nanqing had not seen Yige and Rong Rui’s tragic states in person before.
Now, seeing them, his heart felt a heavy blow.
Suddenly, he felt that his attack on those people under Ye Hui was too lenient!
After all, Rong Zhengfeng was in his eighties or nineties, and his stamina couldn’t match that of Rong Mochen and others.
Rong Mochen noticed the old man’s fatigue, sitting there with seemingly weaker breathing.
Gently frowning, Rong Mochen stepped forward, held the old man’s arm, and said softly, "Grandpa, it’s getting late. Let me take you back to the villa."
Hearing Rong Mochen’s words, Rong Sinan slowly raised his head and looked silently towards Rong Zhengfeng.
Rong Zhengfeng looked at Rong Sinan with affection and said to Rong Mochen, "Don’t worry about me. It’s you who should go home. Momo and the children need you. Go back, alright."
"Please come with me," Rong Mochen urged.
Rong Zhengfeng shook his head, looking down at Rong Rui, his eyes unconsciously reddening again, "I’ll stay here with Little Rui and Yige."
Rong Mochen stared at Rong Zhengfeng’s stubborn profile, pausing for a few seconds, and said, "Grandpa, at a time like this, Brother needs to take care of Little Rui and Yige. If you stay, he has to split his attention to take care of you too."
Rong Zhengfeng, "..." was instantly frustrated!
Glaring at Rong Mochen, he said, "Brat, what do you mean by that? Do you think my staying here will only add to Sinan’s troubles?"
Rong Mochen looked at him calmly, with an equally calm tone, "You just need to take care of yourself now. Don’t think about taking care of Little Rui and Yige."
Rong Zhengfeng, "..."
Deliberately exhaled in disbelief.
He was indeed old, but did he need to be considered so useless?!
His words clearly implied that it would be best if he didn’t trouble others by trying to care for someone!
Really!
Old people get bullied! (Author: Kindness leads to bullying, right? Rong Zhengfeng: Humph! You think you know everything! Author sheepishly.)
In the end, Rong Zhengfeng left with Rong Mochen.
He actually understood inside.
Even if he didn’t require Rong Sinan’s care, Rong Sinan would undoubtedly want to look after him.
After a mentally exhausting day, why should he stay and cause further concern?
After Rong Mochen left with Rong Zhengfeng, Xiao Nanqing planned to leave too but was worried about Rong Sinan and Lei Yicheng being alone together.
If the two ended up fighting in the hospital, who could tell?
As a result, Xiao Nanqing stayed until nearly eleven at night.
Rong Sinan, initially gazing down at Yige, suddenly looked up at Lei Yicheng, who was also silently watching Yige, and in a hoarse voice said, "Go outside."
Lei Yicheng didn’t even lift his eyelids.
Xiao Nanqing, lounging like a lord on the ward’s sofa, heard this and glanced at Rong Sinan, lightly pressing his thin lips together, not making a sound.
Rong Sinan stared at Lei Yicheng.
After a while, seeing him remain indifferent, Rong Sinan said nothing and turned to walk towards the ward door.
And just less than two minutes after Rong Sinan left the ward, Lei Yicheng, who seemed like he hadn’t heard Rong Sinan’s words at all, suddenly stood up from the chair and moved his sturdy legs towards the door.
Xiao Nanqing caught sight out of the corner of his eye, a fleeting faint smile spread across his thin lips.
...
Hospital smoking room.
Rong Sinan handed a lit cigarette to Lei Yicheng.
Lei Yicheng didn’t take it, instead fished out a cigarette and lighter from his pants pocket, and with a calm expression pulled out a cigarette, clamped it between his lips, and lit it.
Rong Sinan didn’t mind either, retrieved the cigarette and clamped it between his own lips, fiercely inhaled twice, and thick gray smoke immediately spewed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
Lei Yicheng stared at Rong Sinan through the smoke, something flashed quickly through his deep eyes.
This was the first time he saw Rong Sinan reveal the unruly side of a man.
A cigarette was almost smoked to the end, the smoking room then rang with Rong Sinan’s hoarse voice, "This time, I failed to protect Yige and Little Rui. I’m not making any excuses for myself."
"Hmph."
Lei Yicheng’s deep eyes turned cold, "The facts speak for themselves, need any excuses?"
Rong Sinan pinched his cigarette, staring at Lei Yicheng, "I promise..."
"What do you guarantee?" Lei Yicheng suddenly pointed dominantly at Rong Sinan, still holding a lit cigarette between his fingers, his rigid face cold, "Rong Sinan, if promises were effective, Yige and Little Rui wouldn’t be lying in the hospital unconscious! So-called promises are nothing but bullshit!"
Rong Sinan’s clean long fingers holding the cigarette slightly sank into the butt.
After Lei Yicheng finished speaking, he stayed silent for a long time.
Lei Yicheng harshly withdrew his hand, coldly laughed, "Nothing left to say, huh?!"
Rong Sinan slowly lowered his eyes, "Actually, I don’t need to say these things to you."
Lei Yicheng frowned.
Rong Sinan then lifted his eyelids, looking at Lei Yicheng, "Yicheng, no matter how you’ve seen me over the years, I don’t care. But I, Rong Sinan, have always regarded you as a brother! The reason I’m saying these things to you is not because I’m afraid, or fearing you taking Yige away from me now. It’s because I consider you a brother!"
"...Who the hell wants to be your brother? Whoever wants to be can do it! I, Lei Yicheng, don’t care!" Lei Yicheng paused for a second, but facing Rong Sinan’s face became more fierce, he said with a cruel voice.
"Really don’t care?"
Rong Sinan stared straight at Lei Yicheng.
Lei Yicheng held his breath, his hands clenched at his sides, staring at Rong Sinan as if he were an enemy.
Rong Sinan squinted, "If you don’t care, then why follow me here? You might as well ignore me, right?"
"..." Lei Yicheng stared at Rong Sinan, even his lips held some manly hardness, pressed together, unable to answer.
Actually Lei Yicheng particularly didn’t want to admit that deep down, he also regarded Rong Sinan as a friend, as a brother.
Every time Xiao Nanqing and Gu Yan mentioned it, he was very repulsed.
Especially hated them linking himself with Rong Sinan!
But what else could he do?
Once something is recognized in the heart, denying it verbally is useless!
Seeing this, Rong Sinan’s moist eyes flashed a clear light, and his voice eased, "I know you’ve always liked Yige, while Yige..."
"Rong Sinan!"
Lei Yicheng sneered, "Now you’re showing off to me? Saying I admire Yige, but Yige admires you, trying to humiliate me?"
Rong Sinan looked at Lei Yicheng, his eyes flashing with helplessness, "You know I don’t mean that."
"Then don’t mention it to me! When you bring it up, I just want to kill you to end it once and for all!"
Lei Yicheng said viciously!
Rong Sinan silently watched Lei Yicheng for a while, and when the hostility in Lei Yicheng’s eyes faded a bit, he said lightly, "Okay, I won’t talk about it."
Lei Yicheng still didn’t show any appreciation, coldly snorted.
Rong Sinan took a breath, crushed the cigarette butt in the smoking room’s ashtray, "If something like this happens again, without anyone saying a word, I, Rong Sinan, will voluntarily stay away from Yige!"
Lei Yicheng was stunned, eyes widened with surprise, staring at Rong Sinan.
At this moment, Rong Sinan also looked at Lei Yicheng, his gaze firm.
Lei Yicheng couldn’t help but take a breath, for he knew that what he said was not just mere words, but something he really intended to do.
