Chapter 1920: True Love, A Silent Confession

Zirui smiled and said, "Go take a shower; let's shower together, we're running out of time."

Qi Shishi knew well that this was just an excuse, and though she blushed, she did not refuse, and they went to shower together.

Both of them cherished every minute and every second they had together, because after this separation, it was uncertain when they would meet again.

They rushed to the hotel where the wedding was held, arriving just in time for the ceremony.

To avoid suspicion, the two of them arrived one after the other.

Fortunately, the family did not make things awkward for them; everyone acted as if they had agreed beforehand, and not a single person asked where they were sleeping at night or if they were together.

The wedding proceeded very smoothly, and during the wedding speeches, Qi Shishi listened very attentively, her eyes filled with envy.

She feared she would never have a wedding like this; what was so good about being president?

So what if one obtained power, only to have to sacrifice one's own happiness?

It didn't matter whether she regretted it or not; this was her own choice.

It was just that this choice caused her great pain.

The heartache was buried deep within her heart, not easily shown to others, just like now.

She masked her emotions well; although her heart was surging with waves, on the surface, no one could tell her true thoughts.

She sat quietly, wearing a smile, peaceful and composed.

Right now, she was envious of the bride and Zihan, as lovers had finally become spouses.

Because she was too absorbed, she didn't even notice when the host invited her on stage to speak on behalf of the guests.

Qi Sheng sat beside his aunt and reminded her, "Aunt, you should go on stage to speak."

"Oh, alright."

In such an occasion, Qi Shishi handled herself very well; she knew how to find the right stance and maintain her status, neither stealing the limelight nor failing to display her identity reasonably.

She first congratulated the newlyweds, then stated that she had also lived in Jiangzhou for a long time and had deep feelings for the city.

Next, she expressed that the Sheng Family and L Country were close partners and would always be friends.

She even took the opportunity on stage to advertise for L Country, stating that the current investment environment in L Country was exceptionally good and hoping everyone would go there to make money.

Her words were met with thunderous applause from the audience.

The vast majority of the Sheng Family's guests were business people; attracting investment on such an occasion was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Qi Shishi grasped the opportunity perfectly, attracting quite a bit of investment just by attending a wedding.

After the wedding.

Qi Shishi was about to leave, but Grandma tried to persuade her to stay: "It's not easy for you to come here once, why don't you stay a few more days before going back?"

"It wasn't easy for Yueyue and Yuanyuan to be together either, can't you let them stay together for two more days?"

Shi Youxuan persuaded her mother-in-law: "Mom, Shishi is very busy every day. It's already great that she could come to Zihan's wedding; please don't make too many demands and put her in a difficult position."

Shi Youxuan knew that with Qi Shishi's status, her schedule was very precise and she couldn't just do whatever she wanted like an ordinary person.

But her mother-in-law didn't know this; Wang Yinghao only knew that her grandson Zirui had always been thinking of her, and she just wanted to create opportunities for the two of them to be together more.

She sighed: "It's me asking for too much, it's just that I feel I don't have much time left, and I want to talk to Shishi a bit more."

Recently she had been saying things like this often, and everyone hadn't taken it to heart.

The family just assumed she was being muddled again.

But that night, Wang Yinghao's blood pressure suddenly soared, and she became unconscious.

The family hurriedly sent her to the hospital, and after the doctor examined her, he sighed and told the family to go see the old lady for the last time and prepare for the funeral.

The family gathered around Grandma's hospital bed; she had been given a shot of adrenaline, and now her spirit was still good, and she began to give instructions for her funeral.

She first said to her husband: "Sheng Jiang, the luckiest thing in my life was meeting you. If there is a next life, I hope I can still be your wife."

Sheng Jiang had been timid his whole life, afraid of trouble, but at this moment, he appeared exceptionally calm.

He smiled, took his wife's hand, placed it on his chest, and told her firmly: "There will be a next life. In the next life, we will definitely be together. This time, I will hold your hand tightly and never let go again."

Wang Yinghao cried and smiled, a crystal-clear tear sliding from the corner of her eye.

She nodded with a smile: "Alright, I'll go first, and I'll wait for you down there."

Sheng Jiang: "I won't let you wait long; we will go together."

"What silly things are you saying? You must live well. When I'm gone, you are not allowed to cry. I will bless you and wait for you."

"No!"

Sheng Jiang shook his head: "I can listen to you on other matters, but on this one, I will not listen to you. When I was alive, I already let you wait for me for thirty years; those were our best years of youth. It won't happen again, never again..."

He didn't say much more to his wife, but instead gave his place to his son and daughter-in-law.

"Hanyu, come over here; your mother has something to tell you."

He thought to himself that he and his wife would have plenty of time to chat, so he shouldn't take up the children's time. In the future, they would be together, quiet and undisturbed by anyone.

Sheng Hanyu was immersed in grief and didn't think much of it.

He and Shi Youxuan stepped forward, and Wang Yinghao didn't have much to tell them, only one sentence: "You two must live well!"

Then she asked Zichen and Li Xueer to come forward.

To them, it was also one sentence: "Live your lives well."

Immediately after, she apologized to Zihan and Yuanyuan: "I'm sorry, Grandma is leaving at the wrong time. I originally wanted to hold on for a few more days, but I've already tried my best, and I really can't hold on anymore."

Zihan was an eternal optimist, but now she couldn't stop her tears at all, sobbing uncontrollably!

"You, you are not keeping your word. You promised me you would live to be a hundred. The time hasn't come yet, you can't leave..."

Wang Yinghao waved her hand weakly, signaling for Zihan to be pulled away.

She didn't have much time left, and there were still things she hadn't finished saying.

Shi Ran came to her side, and she shook her head.

She had nothing to tell Shi Ran; Shi Ran's life was going very well now, with both a son and a daughter, and a happy and fulfilling life; she had nothing to instruct her granddaughter on.

Litian came before her, and she continued to shake her head.

Litian's life was also going very well, and likewise, there was no need for her to worry about him!

Yueyue also came before her, and she continued to shake her head.

Yueyue had her parents' care and the love of her older brothers and sisters; she was a girl who never lacked love, and regarding her, Wang Yinghao had even less to worry about.

Finally, Zirui came before her, and only then did Wang Yinghao speak again.

"You and Qi Shishi stay, everyone else go out."

Everyone went out, but Sheng Jiang did not leave; he sat very quietly on the chair, his gaze fixed on his wife the entire time.

Shi Youxuan had a bad premonition, and she wanted to ask her father-in-law to leave with her.

But there were still people behind her walking out, so she didn't end up calling him.

In the Hospital Ward.

Wang Yinghao placed Zirui's and Qi Shishi's hands together and said to them, "The two of you are the ones I worry about most; you are both good children, and you love each other so much—it is truly a pity that you weren't together before."
