Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 409 - Grandpa's Supposedly Last Request

"Auntie entrusted me with this position so, I will try my best to protect the company. I won't give her a reason to ever be disappointed in me so, stop feeling bad about things you can't change. You have me to take care of things over here so leave for your next appointment, ok?" Yunfei said in a calm tone, as he urged her on.

"If you insist, then I will do just that," Yang Zi said as she turned to enter the car which her driver had already opened. Just when Yunfei thought, she wanted to enter the car, Yang Zi turned around and face him.

"Yunfei, Ling told me that she is due for delivery in a few days. Congratulations, you will soon be a father," Yang Zi said, smiling broadly at Yunfei.

"I told her not to mention it to you, I can't believe she went ahead to tell you...,"

"Ling and I are closer than you think.. Don't ever underestimate our friendship," Yang Zi said in a playful tone.

"I have already prepared my first gift for our baby. The first set of clothes and shoes she is going to wear when she enters this world was carefully prepared by her aunt who loves her so dearly. Apart from clothes, I bought a lot of amazing toys for her, I can assure you, she is going to love it," Yang Zi said, her smile broadening even more.

"Zi Er, you didn't have to go through such hassle...,"

"It wasn't a hassle, Ok? And the things are for my baby not for you, so you can't reject it," Yang Zi said, as she entered her car. Yunfei watched as Yang Zi's car pulled out of her special pacing space which was at the right-hand side of the building. Every other car is parked at the company's parking lounge but only the Chairwoman had a special parking space.

Yunfei went back into the building after Yang Zi had left. Before Mrs Yang's death, he and Yang Zi usually talked but they were not so close. Their friendship deepened when his parents and Aunts wanted to make life difficult for Yang Zi after her mother died. He and Ling had stood by her. Maybe that made her change her opinion about the two of them.

When Yang Zi got to Grandpa's hospital room, Su Jin, Yifeng, Chen and Wen Min were already there. Everyone in the room was very glad to see Yang Zi there. She talked to everyone in the room except Yifeng. The way she treated him was as if he was invisible to her. Everyone noticed this attitude of her but no one dared to comment on it. The doctors came to take Grandpa Li away when it was time for his surgery.

"Zi Er, I know that my grandson broke your heart. He wronged you in a way that made me even disappointed at him," Grandpa Li sitting on the rolling hospital bed said, as he stretched and held Yang Zi's hand. He patted them gently.

"Zi Er, I know that he hurt you so much but Zi Er promise me, that you will take good care of my two grandsons if anything happens to me. Chen never grew up to enjoy the love and care of his parents. They were both carefully brought up by me. I am all they have got in this lifetime so, please promise that you will help me to take care of them on my behalf if I end up dying...,"

"Grandpa!" The five of them shouted the moment Grandpa Li mentioned death.

"Grandpa, nothing will happen to you. The surgery will be successful. You will live to see Chen grow up and get married and you will stay alive to carry my children too so, grandpa don't jinx it by saying inauspicious words," Yang Zi said as she tried not to tear up. She caressed his hands affectionately.

"Zi Er, I would also love to do that. I want to hear your children call me 'Great grandpa' while running around me but nothing is certain in this life, that is why I want you to give me your words. I will only go into the operation room with ease if you grant me this one request of mine, which might end up being my last request.," Grandpa Li said.

He had no intention to make things hard for Yang Zi but she was the only one he could trust to take care of Chen and Yifeng for him. He had seen just how well Yang Zi treated Yang Mi and the way she got along with Chen also gladdens his heart. He was convinced above every reasonable doubt that Yang Zi would make a perfect mother.

He was aware of the secret of how her mum really died. Even before Yifeng's bodyguard present at the scene of the crime revealed everything to him after threatening him, he knew that Yifeng would never kill the mother of the woman he loved with his whole heart. Yifeng can be very naughty, but he knew that he was not heartless enough to make the woman he loved sad for the rest of her life. He deliberately did not reveal the truth to Yang Zi because he wanted Yifeng to do it. Yifeng was the one who caused the misunderstanding so, it is only right he made everything ok again.

"If that will make you happy then I promise you to take care of them," the reluctant Yang Zi finally agreed.

"Thank you. I knew you would never refuse this old man's request," Grandpa Li said forcing on a weak smile.

Grandpa Li talked to every other person in the room before the doctors rolled the bed out of the room.

After the doctors rolled the bed into the operation room, the automatic glass door closed on those waiting outside. For hours, Yang Zi paced about the front of the operation room without sitting for a second. The way she paced about anxiously showed how scared she was.
