Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Omnipresent (3)
"Hmm, my body isn’t that weak, it’s just excessive blood loss."
An Yiqing personally poured Duan Tang a cup of clear tea, and upon tasting it, Duan Tang felt that the quality of the tea leaves in the company had improved quite a bit, with a sweet note amid the bitterness.
"You make it sound so light. Do you have any idea how frightened we all were when Elder Ye said you might not wake up from your coma? You can’t be so impulsive again in the future; your life is not just your own." Duan Tang recalled the sight of An Yiqing lying on the hospital bed, her breathing faint, and still felt distressed.
An Yiqing nodded and sighed, "At that moment, how could I afford to think so much? Ah Tang was halfway through the Ghost Gate already, my coma was better than him dying. Besides, I am a doctor myself, would I do something without certainty?"
Duan Tang smiled helplessly, at a loss for what to do with An Yiqing’s stubbornness.
"By the way, I came here today mainly to visit Grandpa Duan. He’s been worried about my matters these past few days; I should thank him in person." An Yiqing said and gently tapped the gift box beside her to indicate her intention.
"What’s this about thanks? The old man treats you like his own granddaughter, and if you go to see him just to say thank you, with his temperament, he’s likely to chase you out." Duan Tang smiled as he put down his teacup and slowly stood up, "Let’s go, I’ll go home with you."
At the entrance of the Duan Family Mansion, Duan Yuntian, dressed in a short Mandarin jacket, had been waiting outside early after receiving the call.
"Aiyah, why hasn’t the girl arrived yet? It must be Ah Tang’s car driving too slowly. Really, no wonder he can’t find a wife, dilly-dallying like this." freēnovelkiss.com
The Butler of the Duan Family listened to Duan Yuntian’s constant grumbles with an amused expression and felt helpless.
"Grandpa Duan, Miss An and the Family Head left the company only twenty minutes ago, don’t be impatient, they’ll be here soon."
Duan Yuntian choked, coughing lightly to mask his embarrassment.
"Cough, I’m just concerned about the girl; she’s out and about so soon after recovering. Who knows if she can handle it." Duan Yuntian looked up at the sky, "Thankfully, the sun isn’t too harsh today, Xiao Qing won’t feel too uncomfortable."
The Butler sighed in resignation, "Grandpa Duan, you really treat Miss An like your own granddaughter, don’t you?"
Duan Yuntian was stunned and raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "Old man, I was originally treating Girl Qing as my granddaughter-in-law, but who knew Ah Tang wouldn’t make an effort and let Gu Laosan steal his bride! What can I do? I can’t possibly ask Ah Tang to snatch Girl Qing back, right? The Duan Family, despite being involved in the martial world, would never stoop to such base acts as having the third person interfere in a relationship. Ah Tang is sincere too, if he likes someone, he doesn’t let go. Ah! It’s tough on this old man! Who knows if I can hold a great-grandson in my lifetime!"
The Butler glanced at the pitiful Duan Yuntian and spat on the ground three times in response.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, what’s this ’in my lifetime’? You’re a Martial Cultivator; living another hundred and eighty years shouldn’t be a problem, so how could you not hold a great-grandson? Besides, with the advancements in medicine these days, having a child doesn’t necessarily require marriage... With the Family Head so deeply in love, just let it be, as long as you can hold a great-grandson and the Duan Family line doesn’t die out, you should be happy about it!"
Duan Yuntian blinked his eyes and stroked his chin, looking at the Butler with a thoughtful expression.
"Are you suggesting... surrogacy or in vitro fertilization...?"
He raised an eyebrow and exchanged a knowing look with the Butler, understanding in his heart.
