1879: Wu Tong Pitied Li Hang

Wu Tong Pitied Li Hang

"When the children are older, Cang can bring Tianxin to their mansion. You don't have to worry about it."1

Li Hang nodded. "Cang's mansion isn't big enough for all of them. One room is yours, one is mine. Then, Xing Chen and Xing He each have one, and Cuican has another. And we will need another three for them and Cang. I'm sorry, I should have done this before...."

"Li Hang, a renovation won't solve the problem," Wu Tong said.

It won't, but I have applied to build another mansion right next to our house. They can stay wherever they choose," Li Hang replied, taking a file out of his desk drawer. In it was a blueprint. "Look at this. This is the blueprint for the new mansion. See if there's anything you would like to change or add."

Wu Tong took the blueprint from him and took a quick scan before saying, "To be honest, I don't think there's a need to build another mansion. Even if you do, Cang might not want to stay there. What's more, we are all in the capital now. It will only take us two hours at most by driving to reach them."

"That's true, but I still feel like I should do something for my son. It's just that it's too late to try and plan anything now..."

"So, you planned to build a mansion out of wood just so you can make it before their marriage?" Wu Tong sighed, understanding what Li Hang's plan was.

Li Hang nodded. "Yes. It's still my wedding gift for them. Even if they don't want to stay there, like his father, I still have to consider this kind of thing. I'll have to trouble you to help decorate the house. Also, please keep it a secret from Cang and Tianxin. I want to give them a surprise.

The moment he finished his sentence, his stomach groaned again.

"Wu Tong. I'm hungry..." he said while blushing.

"I'll study the blueprint first."

As Wu Tong studied the paper in her hand, Li Hang proceeded to finish the meal that had already gotten cold.

In the end, they did not start an argument.

As long as Wu Tong did not chase Li Hang away, he would not leave. He wanted to stay by his wife's side to prevent someone to take her away from him.

However, deep into the night, the pain in his stomach drenched him in sweat.

His stomach had been weak due to his younger years' lifestyle.

His stomach hurt a lot because of this, as well as the fact that he had eaten meals that had gone cold after being hungry for a long time.

Li Hang dialed the emergency number on his own. Wu Tong didn't find out about Li Hang's illness until the ambulance arrived and the paramedic knocked on the door.

She reprimanded them after they were in the ambulance, "Are you nuts or what? Why didn't you tell me your stomach hurts?"

"I-I didn't want to bother you," Li Hang muttered, perspiration still streaming from his brow. "You've been fatigued from working, and I don't want to see you worry about me."

He was in so much anguish that he couldn't help but clutch his stomach.

The man even believed that if he had had stomach cancer, it would have been better.

He knew Wu Tong would never abandon him if that happened.

When they got to the hospital, the doctor began a series of tests right away.

"Are you the patient's family?" the doctor said as Wu Tong stood outside the examination room waiting.

Wu Tong was going to declare she was the wife when she realized that they were no longer married.

"I'm not his family..."

"Can you contact the patient's wife or children?" the doctor asked after a brief examination.

After hearing it, Wu Tong felt an uneasy sensation. "Doctor, could you kindly explain to me what the problem is with him?"
