Chapter 466: 298 Fifth Master is too unpopular, woke up and went to get the certificate (15 updates)_2He hadn’t been sleeping well and had lost weight.

”It’s okay.”

”I honestly didn’t like him before, you know. If his health doesn’t improve, you might have to live this way for the rest of your life. This really worries me...” Although it wasn’t very late at night, the hospital was eerily quiet, and Tang Yunxian couldn’t help but feel emotional, ”Your mother passed away early, and I know all too well how hard this is. I don’t want you to end up living your life like I have.”

”Dad, Xiaowu is different from Mom; he’ll get better!”

Tang Wan clenched her teeth, certain in her words.

”You’ve been taking such good care of him, and if he doesn’t recover, I’ll have Uncle Teng arrange for you to meet someone right away, and we’ll go back to Pingjiang to get married.”

With a laptop on his knees, Jiang Yanting flinched at these words, nearly deleting all the files he had organized.

”If he never wakes up, you can’t wait for him forever. Don’t blame me, his heartless father; I don’t want you to live like this.”

”There are plenty of good men in the world. My daughter is so outstanding; are you worried about not finding someone who’s healthy and understands you? Why hang yourself on a withering tree?”

”We’re already engaged,” Tang Wan said through clenched teeth.

Jiang Yanting opened his mouth to say something in defense of his brother, but Tang Yunxian cut across,

”Marriages can be dissolved, let alone engagements.”

The comment was...

Irrefutable.

”Actually, I’ve always been against you marrying so far away. It’s too far; if someone bullies you, there’s no family to back you up. If he really doesn’t wake up, let’s just go home.”

”Once we’re home, I’ll arrange for you to meet someone else. There are countless men out there, if you don’t like them, we’ll find someone else.”

”Given enough time, you’ll forget about him.”

...

Jiang Yanting felt that Tang Yunxian was deliberately provoking him.

Ever since Zhou Zhongqing had mentioned that some stimulation might help, many had visited—grandma, mom and dad, Qi Zeyan, Jiang Chengsi... Tonight, it was his soon-to-be father-in-law’s turn.

Some people are simply not good at heart; with such an opportunity to ”get back,” pointing a finger, scolding, stimulating him, no one would pass up on the chance.

After using Qi Zeyan to provoke Jinsang earlier today, he even joked:

”If we manage to wake him up with this, it’d actually be a great achievement; not a bad job at all. If he doesn’t wake today, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

...

”Dad, stop talking,” Tang Wan said, realizing her father’s intentions.

Her Xiaowu was so unpopular, why were there so many eager to provoke him? Even her dad was doing it.

”If he wakes up...” Tang Yunxian was actually very worried inside. Even if he woke up, if his health was still bad, or in the worst case he had some paralysis or disability, what then?

But before he could express his doubts, Tang Wan interrupted him.

”Once he wakes up, we’ll go register our marriage!”

Her gaze was piercing, her tone even more certain.

Tang Yunxian and Jiang Yanting were both momentarily stunned.

Tang Wan, seeing her father finally silenced, bowed her head and dipped the towel in hot water again to wipe his face, noticing his eyelashes tremble slightly. She initially thought it was just the stimulation, even casually looking towards Jiang Yanting, ”Big brother, later could you wipe his lower... half... body.”

His eyelids trembled, slowly opening, and in her heart, Tang Wan felt both surprise and joy, the last few words caught, broken in her mouth.

”I’ll help him wipe in a bit.” Jiang Yanting had been practically looking after him all the time recently.

The old lady even said something like, ”Show the same meticulous care you did with Jiangjiang, just look after your brother that way.”

Jiang Yanting had no experience with kids, and when Jiangjiang was little, he sometimes cried incessantly for no apparent reason. Even with Jiang Yanting’s patience, he’d eventually get annoyed, almost tempted to throw him out of his arms...

Think about it, this is his real son, let’s forget it.

”Five... Brother Five, are you awake?” Tang Wan’s voice trembled, unable to hide her excitement.

Jiang Yanting and Tang Yunxian exchanged a glance, putting down whatever they were doing in a hurry to check on him.
