The last sentence of the apology letter was, “I have a lot of shortcomings, but Youyou, I really, really like you.”
Jhiang Youyou spit out her mouthwash into the basin.
“How long did it take you to write this review?”
Guan Sixing put down the basin and handed her the towel that was already wet, “All night.”
He was not good with words, so he weighed each one carefully.
Not long after they had finished breakfast, someone came to visit the patient.
Guan Sixing went to open the door, “Grandpa.”

Apart from Guan Musheng, the visitors also included the couple Guan Zhengan.
The security guard had informed Guan Zhengan about Jhiang Zhenghao’s “visit.” Guan Zhengan met with Jhiang Zhenghao and learned about Jhiang Youyou’s pregnancy. Late last night, after eleven, Tan Linglan confirmed the child’s situation over the phone with Guan Sixing. Originally, Tan Linglan was supposed to come for the visit, but upon knowing this, Grandpa Guan remarked that it would be insufficiently courteous for her to come alone, so he decided to come in person.
Guan Musheng entered the room, “Sixing, you should go outside.”
Guan Sixing stood still, looking at Jhiang Youyou.
Jhiang Youyou said, “Please go out.”
Only then did he leave.
Guan Zhengan closed the door.
Jhiang Youyou greeted the three elders.
Guan Musheng came forward. His expression was not as stern as it had been towards Guan Sixing; it was kind and benevolent, “Are you feeling better?”
“It’s nothing serious,” Jhiang Youyou sat upright, “Grandpa Guan, please have a seat.”
Guan Musheng sat down, placing his cane to the side, “Youyou.”
She responded with her voice, her expression reserved. It was her first time meeting Guan Musheng, and she was a bit nervous. She had only heard of him on the news and TV as a giant in the field of physics and someone who had made significant contributions to the nation.
Guan Musheng had no air about him, “Don’t be nervous. We have come to offer our apologies in person. Sixing told me about your situation. He didn’t handle things properly, causing you distress.”
She didn’t know what exactly Guan Sixing had told his family, but she guessed that he probably just spoke about his own mistakes.
“Grandpa Guan, I wasn’t mistreated, and Sixing didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Whether he did wrong or not is for you to judge in your heart. I’m not here to plead for him,” Guan Musheng made it clear he would not excuse his grandson and spoke to Jhiang Youyou on an equal footing, “I understand your situation with your father, so I took the liberty of bypassing him to come and talk to you directly. Youyou, don’t feel burdened. You and Sixing can discuss your own matters; as the elders, we won’t interfere with your decision. If you no longer wish to associate with Sixing, that’s okay too. As for the child, you should make the decision; that’s your right. If you are still willing to give Sixing a chance, whether you want to interact first or decide directly, it’s all up to you. Anything you want Sixing to do, or you want our Guan family to do, you can tell me, and I will make it happen.”
This speech clarified the Guan family’s stance, and it also demonstrated their valuation and respect for Jhiang Youyou. Guan Musheng’s initiative to bypass Jhiang Zhenghao indicated that the Guan family did not mind her estrangement from her biological father, affirming and supporting her decision.
The Guan family was a true family of scholars, understanding and reasonable, providing Jhiang Youyou with ample exit routes and choices.
“You don’t have to decide right now; take your time. If you’re embarrassed to tell me, you can talk to Sixing, or to Sixing’s mom.”
Jhiang Youyou nodded, “Okay.”
“It’s uncomfortable for you with us staying here,” Guan Musheng picked up his cane, “In that case, we’ll leave now; rest well.”
Jhiang Youyou lifted the covers, intending to get out of bed to see them off.
Tan Linglan quickly stopped her, “No need to get up, no need to get up, just lie down.”
During the conversation just now, Tan Linglan had prepared a plate of fruit and placed it on the cabinet. The floor was stacked with various nutritional and tonic products brought by Guan Zhengan.
Guan Sixing was waiting outside, rather restless.
After Guan Musheng came out, as he had already scolded them the night before, he simply instructed, “I will speak to the research institute on your behalf. You take good care of Youyou during this time.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Guan Musheng glanced at him coldly. He did not meddle in the young people’s love quarrels, but when a girl got pregnant and was hospitalized, and the man never accompanied her to even one check-up, the man should bear the primary responsibility.
Tan Linglan, being the kind mother, wasn’t as harsh as Guan Musheng. As she helped Guan Musheng to leave, she didn’t forget to turn back and give a meaningful look, signaling Guan Sixing to check his phone.
She had sent a message, “Darling, make sure to woo her well, and aim for double happiness.”
Guan Sixing watched the elders leave and then returned to the ward.
“I didn’t know they would come. Did it scare you?”
“No, your family is very easy to get along with.”
Jhiang Youyou pulled on Guan Sixing’s clothes.
He sat down accordingly.
“About the child, I want to hear what you think.”
He didn’t even have to think, “I’ll listen to you.”
“Don’t just listen to me; what you think is also very important.” Jhiang Youyou asked earnestly, “Are you ready to be a father?”
Guan Sixing’s profession was unique. She couldn’t only consider her own wishes. Plus, she was almost over her anger and didn’t want to delay the good things any further.
She had secretly taken out the household registration book a while ago.
“I don’t know what preparations are needed, but I can learn,” Guan Sixing took Jhiang Youyou’s hand, his eyes filled with hope, “Youyou, I am very happy. I want to reconcile with you, I want to marry you.”
Without further consideration, Jhiang Youyou had already made up her mind, “I have one condition,” she said, “No matter how shamelessly Jhiang Zhenghao behaves, don’t help him, don’t give him money, don’t provide him with resources, never let Jhiang Zhenghao leech off the Guan family.”
Guan Sixing agreed, “Okay.”
“Let’s get married.”
He smiled, “Okay.”
*****
Guan Sixing and Jhiang Youyou registered their marriage on the 26th.
Organizing a wedding in a very short time was not feasible, and Jhiang Youyou did not want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly, so they decided to postpone the wedding ceremony. Tan Linglan then suggested holding an engagement banquet first, to introduce her to the family and friends of the Guan family, sort of settling things for the time being.
Jhiang Youyou had no objections.
All three of Jhiang Youyou’s elder sisters attended the engagement banquet, but she did not invite Jhiang Zhenghao and Shen Li. Unable to enter, Jhiang Zhenghao cursed outside for half an hour, calling her an unfilial daughter and a white-eyed wolf.
Tan Linglan ordered people to take out tables, chairs, and a full range of snacks, meals, drinks, and water for the parents-in-law, but the door remained closed. The message was polite but clear: they would be courteous, but not interact further.
