Chapter 89 - 89 89 Sooner or Later You Have to Bear it
?Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Sooner or Later, You Have to Bear it Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Sooner or Later, You Have to Bear it He, having to continue to maintain a safe distance from her due to his role as the successor of Xing Family’s estate.
She, still choosing to interact and maintain their relationship as friends to avoid burdening him.
Indeed, as long as she remained Lady Nr. 5 of the Zhu family, and he the Eldest Young Master of the Xing Family, their destiny would not change.
As long as his feelings for her surpassed the boundaries of friendship, the pain he was going through today would inevitably be something he’d have to endure sooner or later.
Zhu Qianying knew all of this, as did Xing Bailun, right?
However, if emotions could be controlled by rationality, there wouldn’t be so many lovelorn men and women in this world.
…
Zhu Qianying arrived at the hospital about half an hour later.
Not wanting to waste time, she bought a basket of fruits and a bunch of lilies from a fruit shop near the hospital.
Following the room number Qi Xiao had given, she walked down the hallway where none of Qi Xiao’s group was seen. Only a young man sitting outside the hospital room greeted her in a hushed voice, “Excuse me, are you Miss Zhu?”
“Yes, I am.”
Zhu Qianying examined the man in front of her. He must be a professional caregiver hired by the Xing family for Xing Bailun.
“Young Master Xing is awake inside. You may go in.” The man gently pushed open the door of the hospital room and stepped aside to let Zhu Qianying in.
Upon entering, Zhu Qianying instantly saw Xing Bailun lying on the hospital bed, “Aaron, are you feeling better now?”
Xing Bailun gave her a small smile, “I’m fine. I won’t die.”
Zhu Qianying’s heart skipped a beat, but she gave him a gentle smile, “Of course, our Eldest Young Master Xing is capable of handling this small injury.”
From what she could see, apart from his plastered foot hung up, there were some abrasions on his face, but they weren’t severe.
His complexion and energy level didn’t look too bad, making Zhu Qianying feel slightly relieved.
Xing Bailun had Qi Xiao help him to prop up the bed, and while half-lying down, he set his gaze on Zhu Qianying, “Have you had food yet?”
Despite his injuries, he was still concerned about whether she had eaten.
“Yes, I have. What about you? Did you eat the hospital food for dinner?”
Zhu Qianying placed the fruit basket on the bedside cabinet and picked two bunches of blackcurrants from it.
“I’ll do it. You two chat.” Ling Chen took the blackcurrants from her and guided Zhu Qianying to sit on the chair by the bed.
“My mom just left. She brought porridge. I didn’t injure my spleen or stomach, so I don’t understand why she made porridge.”
Xing Bailun joked, a smile on his face.
But his smile always reminded Zhu Qianying of the phrase “putting on a brave face.”
And as the cause of his brave front, she didn’t have the right to shatter it, so she could do nothing but play along, “Shall we prepare a banquet for you now?”
“If you’re preparing, yes. Otherwise, no need for takeaway!”
Xing Bailun and others knew that Zhu Qianying inherited her mother’s culinary skills because they would occasionally have meals together at Xing Bailun’s apartment, andy Zhu Qianying was always the one to cook.
“Wait till you’re discharged, I’ll cook for you.” Zhu Qianying had always been generous towards these friends of hers, especially towards Xing Bailun.
“Alright, for your cooking, I’ve decided to work hard on my treatment and get discharged as early as possible.”
They were all chatting and joking around as usual, none bringing up either the cause of Xing Bailun’s injury or Zhu Qianying’s wedding photos.
The hospital had visiting hours; visitors had to leave by ten o’clock, and Zhu Qianying and the others stayed until the nurses reminded them to leave.
Qi Xiao was in charge of sending Zhu Qainying home, a task usually done by Xing Bailun.
“Were the wedding photos taken smoothly?”
In the car, Qi Xiao dared to bring up the topic.
“Very smoothly. Anyway, I just had to follow the photographer’s instructions and pose. It wasn’t hard.”
Many people say that taking wedding photos is physically strenuous. However, for a sportswoman like Zhu Qianying, it wasn’t a problem at all. Rather than say she was tired, she was almost famished!
“Have you settled on a wedding date?”
After the Yan family’s announcement, there was no follow-up news, and Zhu Qianying only mentioned it to Xing Bailun.
“Yes, on Christmas day.”
Given the grand display put forth by the Yan family today, presumably, they did not mind revealing the specific wedding date.
Qi Xiao looked at her, It’s no wonder Xing Bailun couldn’t let go. Where was the joy of a soon-to-be bride in her?
“Have you decided on a wedding venue?”
This question stumped Zhu Qianying. She shook her head indifferently, “I don’t know, probably not!”
She had never actively inquired about wedding plans with the Yans.
Choosing the wedding dress was the Yans’ idea, the wedding photoshoot was arranged by the Yans, and even the wedding venue didn’t really matter to her. She just needed to attend.
Of course, she couldn’t be blamed for her lack of enthusiasm.
When choosing the date for the wedding, Yan family didn’t consult her.
The wedding dress was supposed to be chosen by her, but it was ultimately decided by the Yans.
The wedding photos? The Yan family decided the location and plan without even pretending to consult her opinion.
Then the wedding venue, presumably, would also be decided by the Yan family. Her opinion was not important.
Since it wasn’t important, naturally, she was too lazy to think or care about it.
Her brain cells were valuable and there was no need to waste them on such trivial matters.
“At the wedding, they would invite us, right?”
Normally, this question didn’t even need to be asked considering how close their friendship was.
But given Zhu Qianying’s indifferent attitude towards her marriage, Qi Xiao wasn’t certain anymore.
Zhu Qianying looked up at him and said uncertainly, “I suppose they will…”
Considering the Yan family’s supreme position in L City, they should invite all of the Ten Wealthy Tycoons.
At this moment, Zhu Qianying didn’t realize that she also had the right to decide the guest list. She thought that the Yan family would handle it.
What’s more, Yan family had never asked her which relatives or friends she’d like to invite.
After all, when normal people get married, the bride and groom certainly have countless things to do in the one or two months leading up to the wedding.
But for her, aside from having the wedding photoshoot, she has been taking it easy so far and has no substantial feeling that the wedding is approaching.
Qi Xiao sighed, “Ying Zi, truly, we are worried about you.”
The four of them, one might say, saw Zhu Qianying grow up. Initially, each of them had special feelings for Zhu Qianying, but seeing Xing Bailun’s intentions, they all stifled that affection early on.
They now see her as a sister and close friend.
