Chapter 861 I will spend my whole life making it up to you
Chapter 861 I will spend my whole life making it up to you
Wen Ning suddenly spoke up, telling Zhou Yi about what happened six years ago.
“Back then, during the surgery, Sui Sui couldn’t be saved. It was only because the doctors saw that Sui Sui was still desperately trying to survive that they did everything they could to save her.”
“I can’t accept that the child who was interacting with me inside my belly is just gone.”
"Even though I know that what I'm about to face may be very difficult, I'm still leaving."
"But you wouldn't know that back then, Xu Jia stood outside, not allowing the doctors to perform emergency treatment. It wasn't until Sui Sui was on the verge of death, and she was convinced that Sui Sui couldn't be saved, that the doctors came in."
"You would never know that after Sui Sui had a miscarriage, she tried to murder me and destroy the entire delivery room. If the nurses hadn't discovered it in time, Wen Ning might never have existed."
Even now, recalling these past events still brings a pang of pain to Wen Ning's heart.
It stings, it stings.
These words hurt Wen Ning when she said them, and they hurt Zhou Yi when he heard them.
That was guilt towards Wen Ning, a very deep guilt.
Without thinking, Zhou Yi hugged Wen Ning and kept apologizing.
"Wen Ning, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Zhou Yi's voice came through, filled with remorse.
He held Wen Ning's hand tightly and never let go.
Wen Ning didn't respond; she remained silent.
Some wounds are not easily healed; they can become embedded in the bone marrow.
It was heavy and painful.
"I'm sorry—" Zhou Yi looked down at Wen Ning, "I will make amends for the mistakes I made, and I will spend my whole life making it up to you and Sui Sui."
Wen Ning still did not respond.
"You don't need to give me an answer, but I'll show you." Zhou Yi's words were exceptionally sincere.
Wen Ning finally hummed in agreement.
Zhou Yi continued to look at Wen Ning, then let out a faint laugh.
"Let's eat first. We can't waste food here. Otherwise, the host will say something." Zhou Yi then changed the subject.
"You were just criticizing the host for talking nonsense, and now you're afraid he'll say you're wasting his time?" Wen Ning raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Yi remained calm: "After all, times have changed, and it's not the same thing. Wasting food is punishable by lightning, and so is his nonsense."
Wen Ning: “…”
Since he couldn't win an argument with Zhou Yi, Wen Ning simply gave up.
Zhou Yi naturally served food to Wen Ning.
Xu Jia's previous incident did not affect Wen Ning; she kept her head down and ate quietly.
Even though Wen Ning and Zhou Yi have special identities, everyone here is treated the same, and they can take as much as they want to eat.
They finished all the food in front of them.
Zhou Yicai led Wen Ning toward the side room.
It's already 7pm.
Lanterns were hung at Xiangshan Temple, giving it an antique feel.
The previously noisy tourists and pilgrims have gradually left, and the temple has returned to its original tranquility.
"Would you like to take a walk?" Zhou Yi asked Wen Ning.
“Okay.” Wen Ning nodded.
Because it's located in the mountains, and it's already autumn, the temperature is very low.
Over the years, premature birth, inadequate postpartum care, and various other reasons have all contributed to Wen Ning's cold constitution.
My hands and feet are always cold this season.
Zhou Yi noticed it easily and naturally placed Wen Ning's hand in his palm.
The man's warm body temperature emanated from me.
This made Wen Ning feel comfortable immediately.
Wen Ning didn't say anything, but she didn't resist Zhou Yi and let him lead her.
The two headed towards the back of the mountain.
The maple leaves, illuminated by the lights, have a different feel to them.
They didn't chat intentionally; they just took a quiet walk.
After the wind picked up, Wen Ning coughed softly a few times.
Zhou Yi looked down at Wen Ning: "Let's go back. It's getting windy, and the temperature on the mountain is very low."
"Okay." Wen Ning didn't refuse.
Zhou Yi led Wen Ning down the steps.
"Be careful," Zhou Yi whispered to Wen Ning.
With Zhou Yi protecting Wen Ning, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Wen Ning suddenly fell silent as the two of them walked down the steps.
She saw Xu Jia walking over.
Zhou Yi naturally saw it too.
Zhou Yi didn't say anything, and didn't even greet Xu Jia before leading Wen Ning towards the side room.
Xu Jia stood still, motionless.
Xu Jia called out to Zhou Yi as he walked past her: "Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi then stopped in his tracks.
Wen Ning frowned. For some reason, ever since Xu Jia appeared at Xiangshan Temple, she felt that he had come prepared.
But Zhou Yi had already explained the entire plan without hiding anything.
Wen Ning knew very well that Zhou Yi would not allow himself to be put in danger.
So she should be able to rest assured.
But this feeling of unease weighing on my heart grew stronger and stronger.
"I'll go in first," Wen Ning said calmly, suppressing her emotions.
Then Wen Ning walked towards the side room.
Zhou Yi frowned as he looked at Wen Ning.
He naturally reached out to encircle Wen Ning.
But Wen Ning reacted even faster: "Let's go back together."
"Don't worry, I'm not that angry," Wen Ning smiled.
She stared intently at Zhou Yi, both of them knowing what the other meant.
Leaving Zhou Yi alone with Xu Jia wasn't to create an opportunity, but rather to find out what other tricks Xu Jia had up her sleeve.
Zhou Yi just looked at Wen Ning, his eyes still gentle.
Such gentleness drove Xu Jia to the brink of jealousy.
Because Zhou Yi never sees himself that way; he always maintains a purely businesslike attitude.
Even though Wen Ning has been gone all these years, Zhou Yi is still the same.
That's why she couldn't get close to Zhou Yi no matter how hard she tried.
Even if he gets close to Nan Sheng, he can't change this situation.
Because Zhou Yi gave all his tenderness to Wen Ning.
How could Xu Jia not be jealous?
On the surface, this jealousy was well hidden.
"I'll be back soon," Zhou Yi replied.
"Okay." Wen Ning nodded.
Then Wen Ning walked towards the side room without looking back, showing no intention of lingering.
After Wen Ning's figure disappeared from sight, Zhou Yi glanced indifferently at Xu Jia.
"Did you need something?" Zhou Yi asked directly.
Xu Jia paused, then said, "Zhou Yi, are you willing to give up everything for Wen Ning? You don't even want the Zhou family anymore? Now that things are in such chaos, are you just going to abandon everything?"
“If we’re going to talk about this, then we have nothing to discuss,” Zhou Yi said calmly.
“The Zhou family is leaderless now, and the shareholders want me to go back. Don’t you have any objections? Do you know what this means?” Xu Jia asked Zhou Yi, somewhat exasperated.
"That's also a testament to your ability. It's everyone's recognition of you." Zhou Yi remained indifferent.
Then, without giving Xu Jia any chance to speak, Zhou Yi planned to end the conversation.
"Nothing else, that's all for now," Zhou Yi said curtly.
Then Zhou Yi turned around and started walking towards Wen Ning.
Without thinking, Xu Jia grabbed Zhou Yi's hand.
"Let go," Zhou Yi snapped.
"Zhou Yi, would you like me without Wen Ning?" Xu Jia asked Zhou Yi without letting go.
Zhou Yi just looked at Xu Jia, then pulled his hand away and said directly, word by word, "No."
Xu Jia's expression changed: "Where am I inferior to Wen Ning?"
“It’s not as good as anywhere else.” Zhou Yi said bluntly, “Xu Jia, we’ve known each other for so many years. If I were going to like you, I would have liked you a long time ago. I wouldn’t have waited for Wen Ning to appear.”
They don't even give you any face, and they express their meaning clearly and concisely.
