Chapter 240 Do you love me very much?
Jiang's mother held Si Yuan's hand and sat with her for a while, asking her if she had eaten well and reminding her to rest well, her nagging never stopping. Although Si Yuan was still a little uncomfortable, she responded to everything when she saw the sincerity in Jiang's mother's eyes.
Jiang Wang glanced at the time, then noticed that Si Yuan looked somewhat overwhelmed, and coughed lightly.
"mom."
Jiang's mother immediately understood, realizing that she had delayed for too long. Reluctantly, she let go of Si Yuan's hand and stood up, saying, "Then, Xiao Yuan, take good care of yourself. Mom will come to see you again in a few days."
Si Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, "Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment, probably because she didn't expect Si Yuan to call her aunt.
To be honest, I feel a little sad and empty inside.
"If anything happens, have Wangwang call me, okay?"
After saying that, she squatted down and hugged Si Xingzhou tightly. "My dear grandson, Grandma is leaving now. You must come to Grandma's house next time. Grandma has prepared lots of fun things for you."
Si Xingzhou smiled and said softly, "Goodbye, Grandma."
Jiang's mother ruffled his hair before leaving the ward, turning back to look at him several times.
Jiang Wang followed behind to see her off.
As they were leaving down the corridor, Jiang's mother grabbed Jiang Wang's arm: "Wangwang, you must take good care of Xiaoyuan, and my grandson too. Take him back to your grandmother so she can see him; she's been worrying about him a lot."
"I know," Jiang Wang replied. "Please be careful on your way back. I'll have someone take you."
"I know, I know," Jiang's mother patted his hand and sighed with emotion, "Your father probably knows too. Our family is finally reunited."
After seeing Jiang's mother off, Jiang Wang returned to his ward.
As soon as I entered, I saw Si Yuan talking to Si Xingzhou. The little guy was by the bedside, chattering away. I don't know when the two of them became so familiar with each other.
"What are you two talking about?"
Si Yuan shook her head cautiously, then said, "This morning, I asked the nurse to call the doctor over to ask about my condition. The doctor said I'm recovering well and can be discharged now." Si Yuan's voice was soft, with a hint of anticipation. "I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore; it's too stuffy here."
Jiang Wang felt a pang of pain in his heart. Of course, he knew why Si Yuan disliked hospitals.
When she was being treated for depression, she spent a long time alone in the hospital; those days were a nightmare for her. Although she didn't remember them, the fear was still deeply etched into her soul.
Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded: "Okay, then I'll be discharged."
"Really?" Si Yuan was a little incredulous; he had thought Jiang Wang would be difficult to talk to.
He used to bully me, and he would only stop when he saw me cry.
Jiang Wang reached out and ruffled her hair. "If you don't want to stay, we'll leave."
Si Xingzhou, standing next to him, was overjoyed: "Great! We can go home with Mom!"
Jiang Wang's people were very efficient; they completed the discharge procedures in no time, before it was even dark.
Jiang Wang carefully helped Si Yuan out of bed, put a coat on her, and then picked up Si Xingzhou. The three of them left the hospital.
The car was moving smoothly. Si Yuan leaned against the window, looking at the street scene outside with a somewhat blank expression.
She was completely unfamiliar with the capital city now.
"Where are we going?" she asked Jiang Wang, turning to him.
"Let's go home." Jiang Wang took her hand. "Let's go home."
Si Yuan didn't know what their home looked like, but she didn't ask any questions, because the only person she could trust right now was Jiang Wang.
Moreover, Jiang Wang is completely different from the one in my memory.
——
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a villa. Jiang Wang got out first, walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and helped Si Yuan out.
Si Xingzhou jumped out of the car and grabbed Si Yuan's hand: "Mom, we're here!"
Si Yuan looked up at the villa in front of her. The villa's exterior was simple yet grand, filled with greenery and some of Si Yuan's favorite flowers, some of which were still blooming in autumn, making it a very pleasant sight. She followed Jiang Wang into the house, and upon entering, she froze on the spot.
The living room is decorated in a warm and elegant style, with excellent natural light. Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a cozy atmosphere. Every detail in the house shows thoughtful design, especially the art installations, each with a clever design—the kind of installations that Si Yuan fell in love with at first sight.
"Your house is beautifully decorated," Si Yuan couldn't help but say.
Jiang Wang stood beside her, looking at her profile, and helped her understand: "Because you designed it."
Si Yuan was taken aback, turned to look at him, somewhat surprised: "I designed it?"
“Hmm.” Jiang Wang nodded. “You later became an interior landscape designer, and you designed everything here.” He paused, as if thinking of something, and then smiled. “Actually, it wasn’t like this at the beginning. I designed it at first, but you didn’t like it, so I redesigned it myself.”
Si Yuan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
She never imagined that she could be so amazing in the future, with her own aesthetic sense, her own career, and even the ability to design her own home.
Is this... life after leaving the Song family?
No longer dependent on others, no longer living in fear, we can finally have our own lives.
She looked around; Si Xingzhou had already gone to his toy room.
She paused, then turned to look at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang didn't know what she wanted to say, and just looked at her with deep eyes. After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Yuan pursed her lips slightly, cautiously probing for something she wanted to confirm but also felt was impossible.
"Jiang Wang, do you love me very much?"
These words, though seemingly casual, reached Jiang Wang's ears like a pebble thrown into a lake that had been still for five years, instantly creating a monstrous wave.
He and Si Yuan had been separated for five whole years. During those five years, they were like strangers. Not to mention such a direct inquiry about their love, there wasn't even a peaceful greeting.
Things as straightforward and intimate as love and hate are becoming increasingly distant from them.
But now, in this villa where they were once so deeply in love, in a space she designed herself, filled with traces of their past, she asked the question of "love".
Jiang Wang felt a sharp pang of sadness in his heart, followed by a frantic pounding, as if something long dead had come back to life, leaping with joy.
He stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on her eyes, his tone more solemn than ever before.
How could I not love you?
How could Jiang Wang not love Si Yuan in this world?
I've always loved it.
He was just too young and naive back then, always thinking that love should be something simple and fearless, something he could easily control, so they missed each other for five whole years.
Si Yuan's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.
It's not just because of this answer.
Also, this was the first time Si Yuan had seen such an expression on Jiang Wang's face.
It felt like a bittersweet joy, but it didn't feel like true joy because my heart was aching too.
She was certain that Jiang Wang was not lying.
