Chapter 231: The Abstinent Gigolo 31

At that moment, Tang Wan sat beside Grandma Xi’s hospital bed and looked at her gently.

“What did Grandma want to tell me?”

Grandma Xi slowly asked:

“Wanwan… do you still remember what happened when you were little?”

Tang Wan nodded.

“I remember.”

“Then… do you remember Xiaotong?” Grandma Xi asked weakly. “He… he was the one who saved you…”

The moment those words fell, Tang Wan’s expression instantly changed in shock.

“Grandma… what did you say?”

“Tongtong… was that little boy back then?”

“Yes…” Grandma Xi nodded emotionally. “I never imagined… that after so many years… the two of you would still end up together…”

Before she could finish, she suddenly started coughing violently.

“Grandma!” Tang Wan immediately stepped forward and gently patted her back. “Are you alright?”

“I-I’m fine…”

After calming down slightly, Grandma Xi stared at Tang Wan again.

“Then… has Xiaotong told you about himself?”

Tang Wan shook her head.

Seeing this, Grandma Xi sighed softly before slowly explaining Xi Jingtong’s situation.

From beginning to end.

Including the injury that had completely destroyed his future as a normal man.

By the time she finished speaking, tears had already gathered in her eyes.

“Wanwan…” Grandma Xi held her hand pleadingly. “For the sake of how Xiaotong once saved you…”

“Grandma only hopes that no matter what happens in the future…”

“…you won’t hurt him.”

“Xiaotong’s life has already been too bitter…”

At that point, tears rolled down her aged face.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately said seriously:

“Grandma, don’t cry.”

“Even if that’s true, I still won’t leave Tongtong.”

“So you have to focus on recovering properly and wait peacefully for our wedding.”

The moment she heard those words, Grandma Xi’s dim eyes instantly brightened again.

Then she tightly grasped Tang Wan’s hand and nodded repeatedly with trembling excitement.

“Good… good…”

…

After receiving Tang Wan’s promise, Grandma Xi finally seemed to let go of the burden weighing on her heart.

Not long afterward, she slowly fell asleep.

Seeing this, Tang Wan quietly left the ward.

Outside the door, Xi Jingtong immediately lifted his head to look at her.

Tang Wan glanced at him before softly closing the ward door behind her.

“Let’s talk in the stairwell.”

“…Okay.”

At that moment, Xi Jingtong’s heart sank heavily.

…

Once they reached a quiet corner, Xi Jingtong finally asked in a low voice:

“What did Grandma tell you?”

Tang Wan looked at him quietly.

“She told me you were the little boy who saved me back then.”

“She also told me… about your injury.”

The moment those words fell, Xi Jingtong felt as though his heart had dropped straight into an icy abyss.

But before he could say anything—

Tang Wan suddenly stepped forward and buried herself in his arms.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” she complained softly.

“So we actually had such a deep connection since childhood…”

Xi Jingtong froze completely.

But instinctively, his arms tightened around her body.

After a long moment, he finally asked hoarsely:

“That’s… all you care about?”

“You don’t think I’m not even a real man anymore?”

“You don’t mind that I may never be able to give you a normal married life?”

Tang Wan immediately looked up at him unhappily.

“That kind of thinking is dirty.”

“As long as I’m happy with you, that’s enough.”

Seeing her bright smile—

something inside Xi Jingtong finally snapped completely.

The next second—

he suddenly pressed Tang Wan against the hospital wall, one hand firmly cradling the back of her head as he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

…

“Ding! Xi Jingtong’s favorability +9!”

“Current favorability: 99!”

Little Cutie nearly exploded with excitement.

This terrifyingly difficult villain was finally almost conquered!

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wan felt her own heartbeat pounding wildly.

Boom boom boom—

Damn.

This man really kissed seriously.

Only after a long while did Xi Jingtong finally release her.

Then he stared at her slightly dazed eyes and swollen red lips, his voice low and restrained.

“Wanwan…”

“I broke the rules.”

“But I don’t regret it.”

In fact—

he even wanted to do much more than this.

Tang Wan blinked blankly for a moment after hearing that.

Then, slightly belatedly, she let out a soft:

“Oh…”

Afterward, she unconsciously licked her lips lightly.

And inwardly thought:

…Not bad.

Pretty comfortable, actually.
