Chapter 47 - Are You in Love?

“He’s your grandfather, my biological father. You shouldn’t think like that even just for my sake. Is it for Moyu? But Moyu had no blood relationship with you. He was adopted. You’re cursing your grandfather for an outsider? TangTang, how did you become like this?”

Ji Naitang replied without any expression on his face. “How did I become like this? You really don’t know? Isn’t it all your fault that I’m like this? You’re here questioning me now? Huh. What a joke.”

A bit of guilt appeared on Qiu Yue’s face. She murmured, “I…… What could I have done? What could a woman like me have done?”

Ji Naitang pulled his arm back and slowly leaned against the wall of the corridor. He wanted to smoke, but he couldn’t smoke in the hospital. He also didn’t have any cigarettes on him. And to make matters worse, he reached into his pocket and discovered that he didn’t have any lollipops.

“You’re always like this.” His voice sounded calm, but if you listened carefully, you would hear it shake. “You were like this when you were a victim. You were like this afterwards when you were a bystander. Now, you have your own life, but you’re still like this. Mom, do you really feel like you haven’t done anything wrong?”

“What did I do wrong? I never hurt anyone. TangTang, you’re my son. Why can’t you understand me?”

Ji Naitang closed his eyes in pain. This was the reason why he didn’t want to see Qiu Yue. She constantly asked him to understand. He could understand if he lost all of his memories. But he still remembered the past very clearly, so how could he understand?

Why did he only forget the details of the car accident, but he still remembered so many painful experiences?! Why couldn’t he just forget all of it?!

Qiu Yue saw someone walk by them and raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face. She waited for the person to go far away before she said, “I’m not here to fight with you. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. Now that we finally see each other, can we not fight all the time, okay?”

Ji Naitang suddenly smiled. The smile was filled with bitterness. “Okay? You’re actually asking me if it’s okay……”

Did he want to fight? Also, was it really a matter of them fighting? Sometimes, he felt really ridiculous just thinking about it.

“TangTang, your grandfather did indeed do something wrong back then. But he didn’t intend to harm you. He didn’t cause Moyu’s death. Do you think Moyu could have lived without your grandfather? You two were too young then and thought too naively. So many years have passed. Don’t hate your grandmother anymore, okay?”

Ji Naitang looked down at Qiu Yue. Qiu Yue was suddenly flustered because she felt that when she said these words, the little bit of remaining affection in Ji Naitang’s eyes seemed to slowly disappear without a trace.

She murmured somewhat painfully. “How can this child be so stubborn?!”

Ji Naitang straightened and said, “I’ll go see him.”

Qiu Yue finally looked a little gratified, but before she could speak, she heard Ji Naitang continue to say, “It’s the last time. After that, you don’t need to tell me about his death and funeral.”

Qiu Yue instantly froze. But her son was finally willing to go, so she didn’t dare to say too much, lest he renege.

After a few steps, Ji Naitang’s phone sounded. He looked down at the WeChat message sent by Cen Muqi: Did you finish your check-up?

He texted back: It’s done. But I met my mom in the hospital. She wants to take me to see my grandfather, so I might return late to the company.

Cen Muqi soon replied: I said I will give you time off. Just go home. Tell me before you leave. I’ll send the driver to pick you up.

Ji Naitang’s face gradually warmed. His mouth also slightly curved. There’s no need. I’ll go back by myself.

Cen Muqi: Really don’t need to?

Ji Naitang: En ~

Cen Muqi: Then I’ll see you tonight, Teacher Ji ~

Ji Naitang’s smile really couldn’t be suppressed anymore. Qiu Yue couldn’t help but look at him a few times. She asked, “TangTang, are you in love?”

Ji Naitang was startled. Their relationship wasn’t the same as other mothers and sons. Qiu Yue had never asked him about this before, so he was a bit uncomfortable when she suddenly asked him this.

Also, did his earlier actions seem like he was in love? Then that meant that his relationship with Cen Muqi seemed like love.
