Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 1069: He Jitang: I Am Willing to Pave the Way for Fourth Sister

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: He Jitang: I Am Willing to Pave the Way for Fourth Sister

He Jitang put down the pen in his hand.

He lifted his robe and sat down on the pear wood chair.

He wore a dark robe, his complexion fair, exuding a frail beauty.

He Jitang toyed with the cinnabar on his wrist, pondering for a moment before saying, "Let’s delay it for now. Day by day, I trust Ruanruan will find a way to handle it."

Shen Ci felt sad.

He whispered, "In the past, when Jitang and I accomplished great feats, it was so glorious and joyful, but today..."

He Jitang was momentarily dazed.

He looked down at the string of cinnabar, murmuring, "Yes, indeed it was joyous! But Shen Ci... having someone I love means I have something to care about. The sins I committed in the past, Ruanruan doesn’t like them very much, and I don’t want her to be unhappy either!"

In the end, he was heartbroken and gently closed his eyes, saying, "She wants me to surrender, and once everything settles down, I’ll do it willingly."

He also wanted Shen Ci to leave him.

Shen Ci refused.

He Jitang smiled faintly, "What’s the point?"

He knew he couldn’t hold on much longer; there were things to settle before the surgery.

He Jitang opened a drawer and took out a delicate key.

He asked Shen Ci to follow him to a place.

The courtyard was winding.

They traversed many winding paths before reaching a secret door.

He Jitang unlocked the combination lock, and the stone door opened with a sound.

Inside, another stone lion blocked the path, and He Jitang used the key to open it.

The stone lion emitted a dull sound.

Slowly, it moved aside to reveal a small path.

Inside, all was clear at a glance.

Shen Ci was stunned, seeing an underground room of about 10,000 square meters, stacked with piles of gold bricks, emitting a lavish yet subdued glow in the dim light.

With this gold, several cities could be bought.

Shen Ci forgot to breathe, watching Jitang slowly walk towards a pile of gold.

He Jitang picked up a gold brick of about 500 grams, whispering, "These riches and honor came from my sins; if I could choose, I’d rather not have had them, just to meet my beloved sister with a clean slate."

Shen Ci was increasingly moved and saddened by his deep emotions.

Choking up, he said, "Jitang’s talent, Miss Su would certainly be delighted."

Hearing this, He Jitang was indeed happy.

He softly instructed, "If some day, I’m no longer in this world, you should give these to Miss Su."

Shen Ci listened, deeply saddened.

He didn’t respond.

He Jitang sternly said, "Shen Ci, you promise me."

Shen Ci ultimately couldn’t bear it and agreed, choking.

With this matter settled, He Jitang’s heart relaxed, but suddenly it twisted in pain again.

It was even more intense than last time, and unbearable.

He bent, squatting to the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Yet his mouth still called for his dear sister...

"Jitang! Jitang!"

Shen Ci, who grew up with him, deeply attached, cried out in anguish...

Su Ruanruan was at home today.

Her eyelids kept twitching, her heart filled with unease.

In the evening, she received a phone call.

It was from Shen Ci, his voice urgent, "Miss Su, I beg you to come see Jitang."

Su Ruanruan hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong with Third Brother?"

Shen Ci was grieved beyond words, "Jitang’s illness can’t wait, but he’s stubbornly staying in Yangcheng! He cares most for Miss Su, I beseech you to persuade him! That heart abroad will be available soon; he should fly over to wait, rather than exhaust his life here."

Su Ruanruan whispered, "I’ll be right over."

She hung up the phone and rushed to the hospital; it was already eight in the evening when she arrived.

On the way, she called Bao Jingyan, telling him she was going to the hospital.

As soon as she got out of the car, she immediately went to the VIP ward.

He Jitang was alright by then, just looking quite frail, leaning against the headboard to rest.

Su Ruanruan knocked on the door and entered.

She called softly, "Third Brother."

He Jitang lifted his eyes.

His eyes brightened, and even the red tear mole at the corner of his eye seemed to pulse with hidden joy.

He smiled faintly, "Sister!"

Su Ruanruan approached.

She peeled an apple for him and handed it over.

He Jitang was still feeling unwell and had no appetite.

Su Ruanruan observed him, noticing he had indeed lost a lot of weight in the past month... overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

Seeing her eyes glisten with tears.

He Jitang’s voice was gentle, "Ruanruan, don’t cry, otherwise Bao Jingyan will think I bullied you when he sees it later."
