The Devil’s love

Inside the hospital.

"Where did you go?" Ning inquired. ​​

Looking at the empty plate, he asked, "Did you eat it all?"

"Of course I did." Stretching his hand towards him, she added, "I think I need some cuddles."

Taking off his shoes, he lied down beside her. "I will take you for a walk tomorrow."

"Why don't you take me home? I miss aunt Lin and Yitian," she sighed.

"You have to stay here for a few more days. Didn't Yitian stay with you for the whole afternoon today?" he inquired.

She nodded her head and answered, "He did, we even played so many board games but I still miss home and our cozy room."

Kissing the top of her head, he sighed, "Just a few more days."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she remarked, "You did not answer my question Yi, where did you go earlier?" When he did not say anything, she added, "You suck at lying but that doesn't mean you will just stop talking."

"I don't know how to tell you this Ning but I have to, I can't keep this away from you anymore." Hugging her tightly, he assured her. "Before we get into it, I just want to let you know that I will always be right by your side no matter what happens."

Placing her hand on his cheek, she smiled, "I know you will never leave my side."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "I wanted to tell you this for a really long time but I was busy looking for the entire truth and the reason behind it. I didn't want to tell you only bits and pieces about it so i decided to wait. But recently, I found out the entire truth and how it happened."

Pausing for a while, he continued, "Your parents never treated you well which always made you wonder why they treat you so unfairly but you never really got a definite answer, right?" When she nodded her head, he added, "I think now I know why."

"Why?" she nervously inquired.

"They are not your real biological parents." When Ning did not say anything for a long time, Yichan added, "You are grandpa Yang's eldest son's daughter and Mr Weilong from Jiang corporation is your real father."

When she snuggled closer and buried her face on his neck, he told her everything. From why her parents gave her up to how he found out about it, making sure not to leave a single detail.

After the narration, he quietly waited for her to take in all the information he had just fed her with. He knew it wasn't easy for her but enlightening her with the truth was important now matter how hard it was.

When she clutched onto his shirt tightly, he kissed the top of her head and whispered, "It's okay, don't hold yourself back, I'll always be here for you."

And she did what he asked her to, she stopped holding back and let go off all her emotions. She cried for hours until she fell asleep in his arms.

Yichan quietly held her in his arms and kept leaving soft kisses on her forehead from time to time just to let her know that he was there for her.

…..

Next day.

By the time Ning woke up, it was almost noon. Looking around, when she saw Yichan sitting on the couch talking to Muchan, she slowly got up.

Yichan quickly rushed towards her and helped her up. Kissing her forehead, he smiled before taping the tip of her nose. "Good morning sleepy head, it's almost lunch time."

"Why didn't you wake me up? And why am I feeling more sleepy?" she sighed.

"Sleep more if you want to but only after eating something." Looking at Muchan, Yichan added, "Muchan, can you ask someone to get our lunch?"

"Of course." Glancing at the watch, Muchan added, "I need to go for my afternoon rounds now, I will come back later."

After he left, Ning wrapped her arms around Yichan's waist and complained, "My eyes burn and my nose feels stuffy."

Rubbing the side of her arm, he sighed, "You'll feel better after sometime, do you want me to help you freshen up?"

"Hmm but after some time, let's stay like this for a while." Keeping quiet for quite some time, she inquired, "Does Muchan know about it?"

"Hmm he does, in fact everyone knows about it," he answered.

"Even Meili, Nuying and sister Suyan?"

He nodded his head and explained, "Yes, they learnt about it when you met with an accident, grandpa had to call Mr Weilong over for the blood so—"

Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "Why is our wife so complicated? Why couldn't we have a normal childhood?" Looking at him, she added, "We both have more things in common now."

"We are soulmates and meant for each other, we are supposed to have all things in common. And don't worry about other things, our kids will have a normal and amazing childhood. They will also have the world's best parents who will always love them no matter what happens," he smiled.

"Yes, we will never let them feel unloved or leave them alone," she added.

"Do you think we are ready to have one?" he inquired.

"I don't know, are you ready?"

Pinching her cheeks, he smiled, "Let's talk about it when we go home, okay?"

Just then, Grandpa Yang entered the room. "Am I interrupting something romantic?" Walking towards them, he added, "I just wanted to make sure if Ning is okay, it seems like you are back to normal now. I will not disturb the two of you, I—"

Cutting him off, Ning calmly stated, "Have a seat grandpa, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hurry? Oh no no, why would I be in a hurry?" Left with no other choice, grandpa Yang quietly sat down on the chair.

Wanting to give the grandfather-granddaughter pair some privacy to talk about certain things, Yichan quickly excused himself. "I will go check on our lunch."

"Yi, bring an extra portion too. I am sure grandpa hasn't eaten his lunch yet," Ning instructed.
