Into the Night, Jiao Jiao Gets Kissed by a Business Tycoon-Chapter 71 - What to do with Xinan

At that moment, Cheng Yi began to feel panicked, but he still forced himself to calm down and asked, “Doctor, are you sure it’s stomach cancer?”

“Sir, we have confirmed it several times, you indeed have stomach cancer, and it is already at an advanced stage. The situation is very critical, and we need to arrange surgery for you as soon as possible.”

A bitter smile appeared on Cheng Yi’s face. “Thank you, I understand.”

Whatever the doctor said afterward, Cheng Yi didn’t hear a single word. He only felt a buzzing sound in his head, then his head was very painful and heavy… he had no strength at all.

No wonder his stomach had been faintly hurting recently, he had no appetite for anything, and occasionally even vomited. It turned out to be because of stomach cancer…

But how could he have gotten stomach cancer…

After returning to the car, Cheng Yi sat quietly for a while, before picking up the medical report and starting to read it.

Name: Cheng Yi, Gender: Male, Age: 28, Diagnosis: Advanced Stomach Cancer…

The name and age matched his exactly; he had indeed been diagnosed with cancer.

Just then, Cheng Yi’s phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Xinan.

If this had happened earlier, he would have been extremely happy, but now he only felt incredibly sorrowful and powerless.

Cheng Yi pressed the receive button, Xinan’s languid soft voice came from the other end of the phone, “What are you doing? I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply.”

“Just busy,” his tone was flat.

“Okay, I’m back in Jing City today, when are you coming back?”

A profound sadness welled up from the depths of Cheng Yi’s eyes. He was supposed to be on a flight tomorrow morning at nine, but now he didn’t know how to face Xinan after returning.

Cheng Yi slowly said, “It might still take a few days.”

Let him delay it for a few days…

“Alright, are you still outside?”

“Yeah, just finished discussing a collaboration.”

“Then be careful on your way back to the hotel.”

“Okay.”

Just as Xinan was about to hang up, Cheng Yi suddenly called out her name softly, “Nannan.”

“Hmm?” Xinan sounded puzzled.

“I want to hear you call my name again.”

“Cheng… Yi.”

“Not that.”

Cheng Yi’s voice was very low, like the wind at night, tickling the heart, giving a strangely inexplicable feeling.

“Yi… Brother.” Xinan obediently called out, but her voice was very shy, much quieter than before.

“Nannan, have you been happy since you married me?” Cheng Yi suddenly asked.

Xinan was stunned for a moment; after a while, she replied, “Why are you asking this suddenly?”

Cheng Yi feigned nonchalance, “No reason, just suddenly wanted to ask. If you don’t want to answer or haven’t thought about what to say, you can choose not to say it, I don’t mind.”

Thinking that Cheng Yi was testing her, Xinan laughed and said, “Although in the past few months since we got married, you’ve been sometimes nice and sometimes not, and occasionally got angry for no reason, I’ve still been quite happy because you’ve been quite good to me.”

“Have you ever had a moment of regret… of marrying me?” And regret not marrying the one you once deeply loved.

“No,” Xinan answered earnestly.

Cheng Yi’s voice suddenly became a bit hoarse, “Good, go to rest early, I’ll be back in a few days.”

“What happened to your voice?” Xinan’s brows furrowed slightly.

Cheng Yi cleared his throat, “It’s nothing, probably just a cold.”

“Okay then, take care of yourself.”

“Okay.”

It was Cheng Yi who hung up the phone first because he was afraid that if he talked for one more second, Xinan would notice that something was wrong.

Cheng Yi rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette, his face obscured in the swirling smoke.

God really loved to play jokes on him…

Just when Xinan had started to show a bit of affection for him, now life played such a huge joke on him.

Cheng Yi was well aware that the chances of late-stage cancer being cured are very slim. So unless a miracle happened, he could only slowly await death.

But what about Xinan…

They still had so many things they hadn’t done, hadn’t had a wedding, hadn’t had a baby, hadn’t traveled together…

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi’s tears slowly trickled down his cheeks.

Eventually, he even laid his head on the steering wheel and burst into tears.

Only when his tears had dried did Cheng Yi slowly sit upright, wiped the tear stains from the corners of his eyes, and then started the engine, speeding away…

As the car sped faster and faster, Cheng Yi gradually calmed down and started to think about his future with Xinan.

During this month and more of spending time together, he was probably clearer about the change in Xinan’s attitude toward him than anybody else.

He was also very aware of Xinan’s intentional or unintentional probes.

But he had always been unsure of Xinan’s true feelings, until he came to the United States on a business trip a few days ago, and Xinan became increasingly proactive towards him—he was then slowly convinced.

Xinan had said there was something she wanted to tell him face-to-face when he returned.

He had tossed and turned many nights thinking about what she might say.

He had more or less guessed it.

But he was still looking forward to it, excited, hoping that the day could come sooner, so he wanted to handle things here as soon as possible and hurry back home.

But what he had never expected was that such an accident would happen…

If he hadn’t gone for the medical examination, then after returning home tomorrow, he might have been the happiest person in the world.

But there were no ifs, and he couldn’t be so selfish.

So while Xinan’s love for him wasn’t too deep yet, he had to nip all of this in the bud.

Although it would break his heart, it was still better than letting Xinan grieve for him for a lifetime.
