Chapter 86 - You Have Me Now
Song Nuanyi did not expect that this man, who had climbed to the top step by step by relying on his own ability, would have such a painful past, and that this pain would end up the same as her.
After listening to the whole story, Song Nuanyi suddenly felt that Wu Chenjin was the one who needed to be comforted. She obediently stayed in Wu Chenjin’s arms, and her voice was muffled on his shoulder. “Be good. It’s all in the past. You have me now.”
Wu Chenjin chuckled. “I was clearly comforting you. How did it turn into comforting me?”
Song Nuanyi raised her head, and her big, watery eyes met Wu Chenjin’s smiling peach blossom eyes. She looked at the man in front of her seriously and tiptoed to kiss Wu Chenjin’s chin.
She said, “In the future, I have you... And you have me.”
Wu Chenjin felt his heart being gently tugged, and a warm current flowed from his heart to his brain. It was not the first time he had heard Song Nuanyi express her concern directly, but this time, he had completely fallen for her because of this sentence, ‘you have me’.
The girl he had loved for more than ten years was now in his arms. She had never said ‘I love you’, but every word was expressing her love for him. This was something he had never dared to dream of.
From this moment on, he was even more determined to take care of Song Nuanyi for the rest of her life.
That night, Wu Chenjin returned home. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to return home since he returned to the Capital.
Grandmother was usually partial to him, but it was a pity that she was old now and could not control the arrangements at home.
Grandfather Wu had also moved back home from the hospital with Wu Chaotian’s mother, Han Yao, some time ago. He said that no matter how good the hospital was, it would not be as good as staying at home. He said that staying at home would be better regardless if it was making nutritious meals or going out for a stroll, he could prepare for Han Yao at any time.
Grandmother initially did not agree to Han Yao’s marriage, but Grandfather had already passed away at that time. Grandmother was getting older, and in the end, she could not stop this woman from stepping into the house.
When Han Yao married in, she also brought in the 12-year-old Wu Chaotian. From then on, Wu Chaotian became the apple of his father’s eye, while he and his sister were marginalized.
......
As soon as Wu Chenjin entered the room, he saw Wu Chaotian looking at his phone on the sofa. He changed his shoes and quietly went upstairs. Both of them pretended not to see each other.
He knocked on his grandmother’s door, and a reply came from inside. When he entered the room and found that the lights were not on, he tried to call out, “Grandmother?”
In the darkness, his grandmother sat in front of the desk and turned around. She smiled and asked, “Little Jin? You just came back, right?”
Wu Chenjin nodded and asked, “Why aren’t you turning on the lights? Do you need me to turn on the lights?”
Grandmother stood up from the desk with a hunch and turned on the floor lamp at the head of the bed. Wu Chenjin rushed forward to help her up.
Grandmother touched his hand, and her tone was full of happiness. She said that the crystal lamp was too bright, which made her eyes tear up. This dim floor lamp was more suitable.

Wu Chenjin said, “If Grandmother doesn’t like this lamp, I’ll get someone to change it tomorrow.”
“No need. It’s just a lamp. Even though it’s not suitable, it’s been used for half of my life. I already have feelings for it.”
Wu Chenjin did not say anything else. Grandmother took out a photo of her and Grandfather from decades ago and touched it longingly.
“When do you think my life will end?”
Wu Chenjin frowned. “Grandma, what are you talking about? You still have many, many days ahead of you.”
Grandmother’s face was stern and she acted like an old child. “You’re one to talk. Why aren’t you letting me hold my great-grandson?”
She took the opportunity to look at the door and asked him, “Didn’t you say that there was a girl? Where is she? You told me that you have an important announcement to make tonight. Isn’t it about my granddaughter-in-law?”
Wu Chenjin pinched his grandmother’s shoulder and answered with a smile, “Of course it is! She just didn’t come today.”
Grandmother was a little unhappy and joked with him again.
The housekeeper downstairs came up to inform him that the family banquet was ready.
Old Master Wu sat first on the side. Han Yao sat next to him and Wu Chaotian sat opposite him.
The empty seat in the middle of the table belonged to Grandmother. Wu Chenjin helped Grandmother down and glanced at the table from the corner of his eyes.
He did not care too much and took Grandmother directly to the center seat. Old Master Wu’s expression changed instantly.
