I Trust You

Su Yayan was aware that she knew too much and did not want to uncover all kinds of truths, so she did not dare to stay outside for long. She decided to run back to her room, with the urge of sharing this with someone else. 

"Seems like you're in a good mood?" Huo Chenhuan accepted Su Yayan's video call invitation. The screen showed someone with a big smile on her face, the curves of the lips stretched almost until her neck. His mood got better just by looking at her. 

"My grandpa is coming over next week."

"Alright, go spend more time with him." Huo Chenhuan knew Su Yayan was close with her grandfather, he was sure about that. 

Something came into his mind. He chose his words carefully and said, "Does he know about our engagement?"

"Are you worried?" Su Yayan was keen enough to perceive Huo Chenhuan's uneasiness, and she smiled. "Don't worry, my grandpa is a kind person. He'll like you just like how I do." 

The person on the screen had her eyes and whole heart on him, telling him how much she liked him. 

Huo Chenhuan's heart softened and he spoke in a soft voice, "He must be very fond of you."

"I'm grandpa's favorite, so I'm sure he'll like you too." 'And it's not only because when you love someone, you're more likely to love the things related to them. It was also because you loved me like how I love you, maybe even deeper than that.'

"However, there's bad news to tell you. My mom told me that girls shouldn't be taking the initiative, so she asked me not to find you that often. My grandpa and aunt are coming over next week and I'll have to accompany them. I probably can't meet you."

Huo Chenhuan's eyes slightly sank. "It's alright. There will be more time for us before long…"

Su Yayan's eyes brightened marginally. 'Yes, there will be more time for the both of us, we're getting married next month. What's awaiting us will be years of companionship, and to be by each other's side.'

That was what she thought. However, Su Yayan was not very happy and twitched her lips. "But, I'd love to meet you earlier."

Huo Chenhuan's heart shook a little and he responded, "Then I'll find you tomorrow."

"Ah, what about the day after tomorrow? I promised my brother that I'll be visiting our family company tomorrow." 

"Alright, then." Huo Chenhuan replied and added, "Do you need me to send someone for company?"

"It's alright, my brother made some arrangements for that. Moreover, it's our family's company, everything will be fine."

"Alright."

Su Yayan turned her gaze around and spoke in a soft voice, "I want to see you, your whole body. Can I?"

Huo Chenhuan fell silent for quite a while, then the image on the screen shifted. 

It was followed by the changes of images on the screen. Su Yayan saw Huo Chenhuan was now showing his back, maneuvering his wheelchair to somewhere further away. 

The moment he turned around, Su Yayan saw the lower part of Huo Chenhuan's body was marked with a red zone. 

This confirmed that what he told her was not exaggerating at all—the lower parts of his body were mostly in bad condition. 

Although she already knew about this, when she saw that with her own eyes, Su Yayan's eyes turned red uncontrollably. 

She suppressed the heart-wrenching feeling that was surging within her, her voice was shaking while she spoke with determination. "You'll recover." 

"What?" Huo Chenhuan came forward—he did not clearly hear what she said just now. 

"I said, we'll make things better in the future." Su Yayan sniffed and smiled faintly. "Trust me."

Although Huo Chenhuan had lived for quite some time, it was his first time realizing that the word 'future' could sound so beautiful. 

The person who stood before him gave his dull life a streak of light. He once hated everything in the world, but her existence made him finally have those little hearty expectations and something to yearn for. 

"I trust you, I do." 'Because it's you, I believe in every word you say.'
