My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 211 - Chapter 211 211 I promise you

Chapter 211: 211 I promise you Chapter 211: 211 I promise you Chen Xu listened to Yang Jinxia’s words and envisioned the scene of her sitting in the control room of the shelter, the entire shelter empty except for a dismembered body frozen in a glass cabinet beside her.

Just thinking about that scene sent chills through his heart.

He felt a complex mix of emotions towards the woman before him, both moved and guilty.

He could not imagine what belief and mood had sustained her to the end.

But…

“Why did you lie to me?” he asked, puzzled. “If you had recognized me from the beginning, none of this would have happened.”

Yang Jinxia looked at him, her eyes flickering, and sighed. “I was too greedy.”

“In that dream, you didn’t think highly of me. You told me to sleep with you, but in reality, you were always wary and resistant towards me.”

“You never took any intimate initiative with me, which clearly shows something that I am well aware of.”

“What is our relationship? Perhaps, more like incompatible comrades-in-arms rather than lovers, certainly not partners.”

Yang Jinxia’s string of remarks left Chen Xu unable to rebut.

During the second dream, his mind was still in a very sensitive and closed period, sometimes overreacting to others’ attitudes.

It was only after experiencing much that he gradually adjusted himself and his mindset changed.

Yang Jinxia continued, “If I had recognized you at that time, your impression of me would always remain as it was in the dream. Initially, you might have been excited, thrilled. But soon, you would become suspicious, cautious, and finally, keep your distance.”

Chen Xu remained silent. She was right; had she come to him directly and recognized him from the start, he would have been more shocked than pleased and might have even lost sleep over it.

Because, that would mean his biggest secret could have been exposed, and by a very dangerous woman, no less, which could terrify him.

“That wasn’t what I wanted,”

Yang Jinxia slowly said, “What I wanted was for you to love me. I wanted you to never forget me for the rest of your life, to leave an indelible mark in your heart.”

Chen Xu looked at her in shock as she confessed openly.

Her face was smiling, “So, I decided to let you get to know me anew. I pretended to know nothing, contacted you, and then got to know, understand, and fall in love with each other. I thought this would certainly become a beautiful memory for us.”

Chen Xu recalled the days when he was with her; she had almost succeeded, he couldn’t sever his feelings for her during the time she was gone and was determined to strive and succeed for her. Even during the third dream, when Bai Jinxuan confessed to him, he flatly rejected her.

Because in his heart, he was still thinking of the woman called Yang Jinxia.

Until he recognized Luo Xiyun. Only then did he abruptly realize that Yang Jinxia had always been deceiving him, and like a fool, he had been played by her. Since then, his deep affection turned into fierce anger.

As time passed, the anger in his heart had somewhat subsided. However, he still couldn’t forgive her. The attitude he showed the last time he saw her at the hospital wasn’t just for Luo Xiyun to see, but more so to vent his inner fury.

But now, having heard her thoughts, he felt confused. He couldn’t distinguish whether her words were true or false.

He wanted to believe that all of this was true. But reason told him that if Yang Jinxia wanted to deceive him, he simply couldn’t tell.

“I’ve spoken to my grandmother about us. I guess she would also like to see you before she leaves. I don’t ask for anything else, just hope you can help me this time, don’t let her leave with regrets,” she pleaded.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, suppressed his somewhat tumultuous emotions, and said, “I can go see her, but I hope you won’t come looking for me in the future, our relationship is not possible anymore.”

Yang Jinxia’s face broke into a joyful smile, “I promise you, from now on, I will never come looking for you.”

For some reason, seeing the smile on her face, Chen Xu felt vaguely uneasy. However, he quickly steadied his mind, realizing that as long as he stood firm, he didn’t need to worry about her playing any tricks.

…

Secretary Jin was sitting at her desk, facing her computer, but her mind wasn’t on it at all. Yang Jinxia had been in Chen Xu’s office for more than ten minutes.

She was very curious about what the two were discussing.

Unfortunately, the office was well soundproofed, and she couldn’t hear a thing.

From her seat, separated by glass, she could see Chen Xu sitting inside by just looking up. However, now her view was blocked by Yang Jinxia’s back, making it impossible to see Chen Xu inside.

Just as she was thinking, the two people in the office came out.

“I need to step out for a bit, keep an eye on the company.” Chen Xu instructed, then followed Yang Jinxia out the door.

Secretary Jin was truly shocked and forgot to respond to him.

It seemed like they were going out together?

Could the boss be a hidden tycoon? Coming to run a noodle shop just to experience life?

Her mind was a mess, all kinds of thoughts popping up incessantly.

Otherwise, she couldn’t explain how he knew someone like Mr. Yang and even treated him as an equal.

…

Chen Xu drove his car, following Yang Jinxia’s car to the hospital they had visited last time.

Once again, he walked into the hospital building, arriving at the floor where Luo Zhenghai had been hospitalized that day. Chen Xu followed behind Yang Jinxia, walking towards the other end of the corridor.

It dawned on him that it indeed was Luo Zhenghai’s arrangement that day; he intentionally stayed on the same floor as Yang Jinxia’s grandmother. Probably even timing their notification so they could run into Yang Jinxia, truly a painstaking effort.

Yang Jinxia stopped in front of the room at the very end, turned around, and said to him, “This is it,” then pushed the door and entered.

Chen Xu also followed inside while the female driver stayed outside the door.

The hospital room was luxurious. Chen Xu’s attention was entirely drawn to the elderly woman on the bed; she looked exceptionally aged, her hair gray, eyes tightly closed, her face covered with an oxygen mask, and occasionally, a small patch of mist appeared on the glass cover, proving she was still alive.

“This is my grandmother.”

Yang Jinxia stood in front of the bed, looked down at the old woman, and said, “A few years ago, she suffered some shocks, had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and almost didn’t make it. After being resuscitated, she became completely immobile and has been lying here ever since.”

Chen Xu looked at the old woman’s hands, already emaciated and bearing IV lines–they truly looked like her days were numbered. He said softly, “She seems to be asleep.”

“Since this year, she’s been like this, less and less awake. The doctors said she won’t last much longer.” Yang Jinxia sighed, “I found the best doctors and used the best treatment. I don’t want her to just die off, I hope she lives a long life.”

Chen Xu heard her tone was very calm, yet inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and couldn’t help but ask, “Can she still speak?”

Yang Jinxia shook her head, “She can’t speak now, her mouth doesn’t move, and she can’t eat. She can only be fed some liquid food.”

Chen Xu listened, feeling a chilling sensation. If one day he grew old and found himself in such a condition, he thought it would be better to be dead.

He felt very uncomfortable staying here and said, “Since she’s asleep, let’s not wake her up, let’s go.”

“It’s okay, the doctors said that even if she’s asleep, she can still hear us.”

Yang Jinxia shook her head and spoke to the elderly woman in the bed, “Grandma, this is the man I’ve told you about, his name is Chen Xu. Don’t worry, with him here, I’ll live well.”

“And, I will also have children with him, to carry on the Yang Family lineage…”

“Wait.”

Chen Xu couldn’t listen anymore, interrupting her, “She’s like this, and you’re still lying to her, why bother?”

“What I’m telling her is the truth.”

“Haven’t you given up yet? There’s no chance between us.”

“Who says there’s no chance?” Yang Jinxia smiled, “Don’t you remember the time over the New Year when we were together every day?”

Chen Xu was somewhat helpless, “That was several months ago.”

Yang Jinxia smiled even more brightly, “While Earth may not have human cryonics technology, freezing some sperm is still quite easy.”

In an instant, Chen Xu felt ice-cold.
