Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1107 - 1111: If the Young Master Gives Up on You, It’s His Loss for Life

"Thank you, Housekeeper Ye." Xia Qingqian did not linger, and the luggage she carried was accepted by Ye Feng. As though a thought struck her, she tugged at Ye Feng's sleeve and inquired, "Housekeeper Ye, may I go see Uncle Quan?" After all, she had caused Uncle Quan to be implicated and now bedridden.
A wave of reluctance and heartache washed over her; she wished to bid farewell to Uncle Quan before her departure.
Ye Feng consulted his watch, pondered for a moment, and then conceded, "Very well, but do not tarry; five minutes only."
Xia Qingqian offered Ye Feng a thankful smile, turned, and proceeded to Uncle Quan's chamber. Uncle Quan lay upon the bed, his breathing steady. Perhaps sensing the door opening, he stirred, his eyes fluttering open. "Girl, are you unharmed?" he inquired.
She approached and clasped Uncle Quan's hand, which was resting limply in the air. With a smile, she said, "Uncle Quan, I apologize. I caused the Young Master to reprimand you." Despite her smile, her eyes shimmered, verging on tears.
"Girl, you possess a kind heart. Uncle Quan maintains that if the Young Master truly relinquishes you, it shall be his lifelong regret." Uncle Quan clasped Xia Qingqian's hand in return, tears welling in his own eyes. "It is simply that some matters lie beyond our command. Uncle Quan fears he may not see many more dawns, nor witness the Young Master's own wedding and the arrival of his children."
Xia Qingqian's eyes brimmed with red, the corners of her eyes twitching, unable to stem the flow of tears any longer. "Uncle Quan, what are you saying? You will surely live a long and prosperous life. Have you forgotten? The Young Master vowed to bring you back home to enjoy your retirement, allowing you to revel in familial bliss with your descendants. You shall undoubtedly be the most contented elder in the world, Uncle Quan." The mere mention of mortality sent a shiver down her spine, tightening her chest and making it difficult to draw breath.
"Girl, you possess a remarkable talent for offering comfort. Uncle Quan acknowledges his past transgressions, and I fear the Old Master may deny my return. Should I depart, I can carry this secret with me, which is perhaps for the best." A faint smile graced Uncle Quan's lips as he reached within his garments, retrieving a bracelet and presenting it to Xia Qingqian. "Girl, should the opportunity arise, kindly present this to the Young Master's grandfather. Inform him that I have made a choice for Madam. Girl, my dear wife, I shall soon be reunited with her."
Xia Qingqian tightened her grip on his hand, her voice thick with emotion. "Uncle Quan, could you not present this to the Old Master yourself? I cannot fulfill this request for you." How could she possibly assist Uncle Quan in this manner? If she were to do so, Uncle Quan might find peace, having nothing left to tether him to this world.
"No, you must deliver this to the Old Master yourself." This was Madam's explicit instruction. Madam had resided there for a period, and this bracelet was intended for the woman who would stand beside the Young Master upon his twenty-eighth birthday—a role destined for Gu Ziqian. However, Uncle Quan had instead bestowed it upon Xia Qingqian. "Uncle Quan is well. I shall take the utmost care of myself. Girl, remain vigilant in all matters, do you hear? Uncle Quan earnestly desires your happiness."
Before she could utter another word, Uncle Quan interjected, his tone gentle yet firm, "Are you not catching a flight? You ought to depart now. Journey safely."
"Uncle Quan, take care!" The bracelet within Xia Qingqian's palm felt impossibly heavy. Would she ever truly have the chance to approach the Old Master? Her entanglement with the Young Master grew more intricate by the day, and she remained uncertain how he would ultimately navigate their shared future.
