After hearing his statement, Ou Zixuan felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, it's indeed as Ouyang said. Compared to Zhou Mufan, Zexi is much stronger. Not only is he responsible, but he is also steady and reliable."

Then, he turned his gaze to Xia Ruoan and said earnestly, "An'an, in my opinion, Zexi is indeed a rare and good son-in-law.

In terms of his status, position and personal ability, he is quite a match for you.

So, even if you really marry into the Leng family in the future, there is no need to feel that you are marrying above your station. Our Ou family will always be your solid backing!"

At this moment, Leng Zexi, who had been holding Xia Ruoan's hand tightly, quickly took over the conversation and responded sincerely, "Uncle, please don't say that! Being able to marry An An is the greatest blessing in my life.

Besides, my parents and An An's father had already arranged a marriage for us when we were children, and now we're together, it's all destined! We will definitely cherish this hard-earned relationship."

Hearing this, Ou Zixuan nodded in satisfaction, but then, as if remembering something important, his expression straightened slightly and he asked Leng Zexi, "By the way, Zexi, how's the progress on the matter that Ouyang asked you to help investigate? Has Ling'er been found?"

When asked this question, a hint of hesitation flashed across Leng Zexi's face, as if it was difficult to answer.

Seeing this, Xia Ruoan on the side quickly spoke out to help: "Uncle, your health is important, you should take the medicine first. After you finish taking the medicine, I will tell you in detail." His words were full of concern.

After hearing this, the butler slowly took out an exquisite small bag from his pocket and opened it carefully, revealing several pills of different colors inside.

He walked respectfully before the master and presented the life-saving pills with both hands.

Ou Zixuan sat on the chair, his brows furrowed, staring at the pill in his hand.

He noticed the solemn expressions on their faces, and his heart sank. It seemed that the situation on An An's side was far worse than he had expected, otherwise they wouldn't be so serious.

Ou Zixuan took a deep breath, reached out to take the pill, put it in his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Leng Zexi, and said in a low but firm voice: "Tell me, no matter what kind of news it is, I can bear it."

After experiencing the devastating loss of his son and daughter-in-law, he felt that there were not many things in this world that could frighten him, except life and death.

Xia Ruoan picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to Ou Zixuan.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she spoke softly, "Sister Ling'er chose to leave because she was diagnosed with cancer. She kept it a secret from everyone and went abroad for treatment alone. She now has less than a year left."

At this point, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but choke up, tears welling up in his eyes.

Ou Zixuan widened his eyes and looked at the pale and haggard face on the phone screen in disbelief.

That familiar yet unfamiliar look, how could it be the youthful, beautiful, and beauty-obsessed little girl Ling'er in his memory? He felt a sharp pain in his heart, his eyes instantly moistened, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"How could this happen?" Ou Zixuan muttered to himself, his voice trembling so much that he could barely form a complete sentence.

However, the cruel reality was right before his eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it. Ling'er in the photo was skinny and pale, and her once bright and moving eyes had lost their luster.

Xia Ruoan suppressed his sadness and continued, "After my senior brother learned about this, he was very distressed and blamed himself. He wanted to accompany Sister Ling'er for the last time.

He wants to take Sister Ling'er to get married and hold a wedding. I hope you can agree to their wish." After saying this, Xia Ruoan looked at Ou Zixuan expectantly, waiting for his answer.

The butler stared at the photo in his hand with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

When he heard that the young master was actually planning to get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding, he couldn't help but frown, but ultimately chose to remain silent and not say a word.

Speaking of the young master and Miss Zhou, they both really had miserable lives! Ou Zixuan had been looking forward to hearing news about his grandson soon, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could finally get his wish.

At this time, Ou Zixuan was heard saying, "Housekeeper, quickly prepare the household registration book. If Ouyang needs it, send it to him immediately."

Ou Zixuan did not object to this matter because he knew very well that the two children were truly in love.

Love is hard to come by, not to mention that Ling'er once saved her grandson's life. Now it's time for her grandson to repay the kindness.

"Uncle, do you really agree?" Xia Ruoan asked in surprise. She originally thought that she would have to spend some time persuading him. After all, Sister Ling'er's current situation was rather special. If it were any other ordinary family, it would probably be difficult for them to accept such a daughter-in-law.

"What? In your eyes, am I the kind of villain who specializes in breaking up lovers? I know what you are thinking. Do you think that Ouyang's marriage this time is his second?" Ou Zixuan shook his head and asked Xia Ruoan.

"Absolutely not! Unless something major happens, the name Zhou Ling'er will be filled in as Ouyang's wife.

"And from what I know about this kid, he'll never allow any unexpected circumstances to disrupt this matter." Ou Zixuan said firmly, his tone filled with determination and confidence. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I raised this child myself, and I know his character and personality very well.

I'm afraid Ouyang will have to spend the rest of his life alone. An An, when you have time in the future, please try to visit him more often and spend time with him.

After all, my physical condition is getting worse day by day, and I really don’t know how long I can accompany him... "Speaking of this, Ou Zixuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness and sadness.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan recalled his senior brother's daily behavior and secretly agreed with his uncle's opinion.

Given my senior brother's personality, it is very likely that he will not choose to marry and have children again.

Because my senior brother has always been a very responsible person. If he already has a specific woman in his heart, he will never marry another woman easily.

But the problem is, it is almost impossible to make Senior Brother completely forget Zhou Ling'er. Thinking about it this way, what Grandpa Uncle said is not without basis.

On the other side, Zhou Ling'er, who had just woken up, looked around anxiously for Ouyang as soon as she opened her eyes.

When she found that the familiar figure was not in the room, a look of hard-to-conceal disappointment quickly flashed across her eyes.

Then, she slowly turned her gaze to the window, only to see that the sunlight today was exceptionally bright and dazzling, stinging her eyes so much that she even had an urge to cry.

She didn't even notice the sound of the door being gently pushed open.

It was not until a burst of rich and fragrant floral scent wafted into her nose that Zhou Ling'er came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.

Looking closely, she saw Ouyang walking towards her, holding a large bouquet of gorgeous red roses. These red roses were Zhou Ling'er's favorite flowers.
