Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 1045: He Jitang’s Tranquil Years 1

In the afternoon, Su Ruanruan arrived as promised.

Qingya Cafe.

Since it was a weekday afternoon, there were very few people.

Sunlight slanted through the glass, casting upon a graceful silhouette.

The man sat quietly, a cup of coffee in hand, gently stirring.

Su Ruanruan pushed the door open and entered.

The young man lifted his gaze, quietly staring, then softly greeted, "Miss Su."

Su Ruanruan stood there.

She smiled, "Vice Dean Shen."

The one who invited her was indeed Shen Ci.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci smiled wryly, "I haven’t been a vice dean for a long time; I’m just someone at Jitang’s side."

Su Ruanruan gracefully sat opposite him.

Shen Ci ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for her.

Su Ruanruan remarked with emotion, "I didn’t expect Mr. Shen to still remember I love Blue Mountain."

Shen Ci gave her a deep look, then gently said, "Isn’t Miss Su curious about why I invited you?"

The coffee was served.

Su Ruanruan sipped the coffee, then said, "Surely not just for reminiscing?"

Shen Ci took out a paper from his pocket.

It was a hospital diagnosis.

He placed it on the table, gently pushing it towards Su Ruanruan.

Su Ruanruan stared at him for a long moment before picking up the diagnosis to read.

Within seconds, her expression changed slightly.

Looking at Shen Ci again, Su Ruanruan’s voice trembled slightly, "Why doesn’t Third Brother intend to undergo treatment?"

"Because of Miss Su!" Shen Ci spoke bluntly.

Su Ruanruan said nothing.

She looked again at the diagnosis, reading it repeatedly.

Beside her, Shen Ci spoke softly, "Jitang says someone like him shouldn’t exist in this world; he also said if he dies, his fourth sister will surely remember some of his goodness..."

"Don’t say anymore!" Su Ruanruan softly interjected.

Shen Ci gazed at her, saying, "Miss Su also can’t bear for Jitang to die, can you?"

Su Ruanruan remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ci stayed with her.

From afternoon until dusk settled in.

Finally, Su Ruanruan slowly spoke, "Mr. Shen, I want to return to the other residence."

She used the word "return."

Shen Ci knew Miss Su still regarded He Jitang as her Third Brother.

He smiled slightly, his voice quivering, "Jitang is at home, waiting for Miss Su every day."

Su Ruanruan also smiled faintly.

The other residence was brightly lit.

In the courtyard, the Yulan tree was adorned with palace lanterns.

Those were all made by He Jitang; each lantern was covered with poetry.

Very elegant.

Shen Ci’s car stopped, and Su Ruanruan got out from the back.

Chen Er happened to see her.

Having been taught a lesson before, he dared not provoke Su Ruanruan. He hobbled on his half-broken leg to the study, gasping for breath as he said, "Jitang, Miss Su is here!"

He Jitang was still making palace lanterns.

Startled by the news, he forgot to ink the brush.

A drop of ink fell, instantly spreading...

He looked up at Chen Er, his voice nearly severe, "Say it again!"

Chen Er repeated in a somewhat effeminate tone, "Jitang, Miss Su is here! She must be here to see you."

He Jitang immediately set down the brush, hurriedly went out to meet her.

Just as Su Ruanruan was walking towards him, they met face to face. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Four eyes met.

One filled with joy, the other with grief.

"Third Brother." Su Ruanruan greeted softly.

He Jitang stood at the study door, graceful and poised.

He didn’t want his fourth sister to know about his illness, smilingly asked, "Why has Fourth Sister come? Quickly, see how my palace lanterns look."

Su Ruanruan smiled approvingly.

So he led the way, and she followed behind.

The courtyard’s Yulan tree was draped with palace lanterns, his preference for Lu You’s poetry filling them.

"What do you think, Fourth Sister?" He Jitang asked, rather proudly.

Su Ruanruan stood amidst a city of lanterns, her long dress fluttering.

She softly said, "Third Brother’s talent is extraordinary; naturally, it’s good."

She stepped forward, took down a lantern, read the words on it.
