Capítulo 1095: Chapter 1096: Today, We’re Going on a Date!

Faced with her extremely expectant gaze, Li Yuan had a momentary illusion.

Is that ‘friend’ she mentioned someone she’s particularly close to? Otherwise, why would she show such an urgent look?

But if it’s a close friend, why hasn’t he ever heard her mention them? Except for Qiangwei.

Could it be that Qiangwei has acute leukemia?

No, that’s unlikely. If that were the case, that kid Qin Sijue would have bombarded him with calls by now!

“At present, there’s indeed no cure, only medication and chemotherapy to sustain life.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Yishan felt as if she was struck by lightning.

Indeed, what Auntie Li said was true, even Li Yuan said there’s no cure…

If he knew the person afflicted was his mother, how helpless and painful would he feel?

At this moment, looking at the man in front of her, Huo Yishan finally admitted that Auntie Li’s decision was correct.

She was deeply aware that there was no way in this world to extend her life anymore, so she didn’t want Li Yuan to bear this heavy pain, nor did she want… to see him trapped in guilt and endless agony for being unable to save his biological mother.

Seeing her staring blankly at him, Li Yuan couldn’t help but raise his hand and wave in front of her, “Shanshan?”

Huo Yishan snapped back to reality, and her head drooped despondently, “Alright, I understand.”

Knowing her disappointment and helplessness stemmed from her friend, Li Yuan didn’t think much of it.

Of course, he didn’t immediately associate it with his mother, but in the next instant, he reached out, pulling her up from beside the bed, “Let’s not think about these things now, it’s getting late, hurry up and freshen up, change clothes and come downstairs for breakfast.”

Though Huo Yishan felt a bit heavy-hearted, she nodded in order to prevent him from noticing anything unusual and walked into the bathroom.

Li Yuan took advantage of her time in the bathroom to return to the study, review and return the documents to Secretary Zhou’s inbox, then headed downstairs, by which time Huo Yishan had also changed into a clean outfit.

Seeing the clothes she had just worn two days ago, Li Yuan suddenly realized that she had been so busy with work these days that she hadn’t prepared many sets of clothes.

At the dining table, Huo Yishan ate with relish—Chef Jin’s dishes were indeed very delicious.

“By the way, where did you say we are going later?” While eating, Huo Yishan couldn’t help but ask, recalling he mentioned going somewhere the previous night.

Li Yuan ate his porridge slowly, only lightly smiling, “You’ll know when we get there.”

Huo Yishan pouted, wondering what this mystery was all about.

“What about the afternoon?” she asked after taking a bite of porridge.

“What’s up?”

“If there’s nothing in the afternoon, I’d like to buy a couple of outfits.” She hadn’t had the mind to go shopping for clothes recently, and when changing earlier, she realized she only had two sets—one of which was torn apart by a brute last night, leaving her with just one set.

“That’s the plan.”

He smiled, planning to go shopping with her and buy two sets of clothes after finishing that matter.

Huo Yishan looked at him somewhat surprised, curiously tilting her head, “You plan to buy clothes for me too? Aren’t you going to the company today?”

“No need, today, we’re going on a date!”

A date?

Though a term often used between couples, it felt somewhat fresh to Huo Yishan.

It seems she hadn’t gone on a solitary date with Li Yuan yet…
