Stealing the moonlight into my arms

East Garden.

This small building is where Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao live. The entire Xiyuan is in the style of Jiangnan gardens, but compared to the grand style of the main building, the East Garden is more quiet and elegant.

Dr. Gao put away the medicine box and walked out of the room and into the living room next to it.

Xiao Jingting and Song Huizhen were both there.

Song Huizhen looked worried. "Doctor Gao, how is my granddaughter-in-law?"

Doctor Gao pondered and said, "This illness was caused by fear. A few days of rest will be enough, but..."

As soon as this "but" came out, Xiao Jingting's eyes suddenly became nervous.

Song Huizhen asked anxiously, "What do you mean by 'but', Lao Gao? Why are you keeping things in suspense?"

Doctor Gao said earnestly, "She's not very old, but she has a lot on her mind. She's been so stressed out and depressed for so long. It's not good for her to continue like this."

Pulse diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is a science, and this is what has been said.

Hearing this, Song Huizhen looked at Xiao Jingting.

There was a sudden look of confusion in Xiao Jingting's eyes, a rare look of helplessness.

Song Huizhen said, "Lao Gao, please explain clearly."

"She had too many things on her mind. She was like a taut string. If she didn't let herself relax, she would suffer internal fatigue. This time, she suddenly relaxed, which is why she became so seriously ill."

At this point, Doctor Gao paused and continued, "It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick to form. This also didn't happen in a short period of time."

Xiao Jingting's eyes were dim, and he stared at the carved windows in the living room, his gaze losing focus.

He asked in a deep voice: "How long will it take?"

Doctor Gao said, "Two years is the minimum."

There are many disputes and grudges among wealthy families. Having said this, Dr. Gao didn't say anything more.

The old lady sent someone to send Doctor Gao out, and when she came back, she saw Xiao Jingting standing there alone in a daze.

When Song Huizhen saw him like this, it was as if she saw the loneliness and desolation he had shown when he first returned to the Xiao family eight years ago.

"Jing Ting..."

Song Huizhen called out to him, but didn't know what to say.

He turned around, his eyes fell on the old lady, and there was a hint of self-mockery in his calm voice, "Grandma, she won't call my name in her dreams."

Song Huizhen didn't know what the taciturn man was thinking, so she quickly explained, "I heard it, it was very clear. Ning Ning was calling out your old name, and she was calling out 'Fu Zheng'."

Xiao Jingting turned and walked into the room.

Fu Zheng...

But that was just a brief emotional transfer in her childhood. It was a toy that she couldn't get but became obsessed with, and a tool that she could throw away and pick up again at any time.

Fu Runing doesn't like the Xiao family. This place makes her feel depressed, but she took the initiative to come here three years ago.

She didn't like him either, but she had to stay with him.

Her feelings can be cut and her love can be disguised.

But no matter whether it was true or false, her words "I'll be with you" were still like the invisible string that pulled back the kite that was flying away.

……

Fu Runing slept until late at night.

It felt like I had never slept for such a long time in my entire life, and I felt like I was falling apart while sleeping.

She opened her eyes and saw Xiao Jingting sitting silently in the room.

He just sat there in the chair, with only a night light on in the room. The dim light fell on his well-defined face, making him look even darker and gloomy.

Fu Runing just moved slightly, and the man raised his eyes.

Before she could think of what to say, she saw Xiao Jingting stand up and walk towards the bed.

"Ah..." Fu Runing stopped pretending to be asleep and propped herself up to sit up.

She casually found a topic, "Is Auntie back?"

Unexpectedly, the man came closer, put his arms around her shoulders, and stroked the back of her head with his big hands.

Before she could react, the man's deep voice rang in her ears.

"Fu Runing, from now on, just tell me what you want. You don't have to please anyone."

"Let's have a child, not get divorced, and continue living like before."
