TVSFPAG -Chapter 187 Epilogue (Part 2)

Bai Yu stayed in the hospital for three days, yet his spirits were more energetic than ever.

He tirelessly clung to Song Yunfei, asking about every detail of the past. With each confirmation he received, the joy in his eyes deepened, and he seemed reborn.

In truth, he hadn’t originally intended to take his own life; he had only wanted to calm himself down alone.

But in the end, while trying to calm down, he caught a chill in the cold water. Once a person falls ill, they become especially fragile. His mind grew muddled, and he actually entertained the thought of a complete, physical “calm.”

Even when he finally fell asleep from exhaustion, he still tightly held onto Song Yunfei’s hand. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t pry his grip open—she could only eat using one hand.

However, someone was displeased.

Chu Jinhan appeared at the doorway of the ward, carrying a cold aura. His gaze fell on the two of them holding hands, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

Seeing him, Song Yunfei’s eyes lit up instantly, as if she had spotted a lifeline. But the next second, a hint of guilt and embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

She subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but the moment her fingers moved, Bai Yu instinctively tightened his grip even more.

Chu Jinhan walked in with a dark expression and placed a thermal lunch box on the table without saying a word.

“…”

Song Yunfei truly hadn’t expected him to barge in so aggressively just to deliver food.

“How long is he planning to keep holding onto you?” Chu Jinhan asked.

Song Yunfei gave an awkward smile. “He’s sick. Don’t hold it against him.”

“So being sick gives him free rein? Then if he were to die, wouldn’t he be able to control the world?”

“You…” she began.

Do they use the same toothpaste or something?

The sound of their argument disturbed Bai Yu on the bed.

He slowly opened his eyes, first confirming that Song Yunfei was still by his side, then raised his gaze to look at Chu Jinhan.

“Yaoyao, this man isn’t suitable for you. You should replace him as soon as possible,” he said. His voice was still weak, but his words were not at all polite.

“Not suitable? Then is someone who keeps holding onto her and preventing her from eating, trying to starve her to death, suitable?”

Bai Yu curled the corner of his lips. “Which eye of yours saw me not letting her eat? This is our family matter—who are you, an outsider, to jump in and make noise? Director Chu, are you so afraid others won’t know you can’t live without women?”

Chu Jinhan replied coldly, “Outsider? Legally, I’m her fiancé. She’s surnamed Song, you’re surnamed Bai—who’s the outsider? Do I need to remind you, Dr. Bai?”

“Also, before you talk about not being able to live without women, maybe let go of your grip first. That would make your words more convincing.”

Bai Yu smiled. “Fiancé, huh? I thought you were already her husband. There isn’t even a confirmed engagement yet. I advise Director Chu not to speak too boldly—after all, life is unpredictable. Anything can happen.”

Chu Jinhan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Well said. Compared to someone who clings to a shadow and thinks they’ve grasped the truth, there are indeed still many variables.”

Song Yunfei felt completely overwhelmed. Just as she tried to intervene with one, the other would retort; when she tried the other, the first would fire back. She simply couldn’t get a word in.

The two of them traded blows back and forth. If she were this articulate, she wouldn’t lose arguments online.

As they continued, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, no longer just verbal sparring—it had turned genuinely heated.

“You two are so annoying!”

Song Yunfei raised her voice, forcefully interrupting their argument.

She struggled free from Bai Yu’s grip, glared at Chu Jinhan, then glared fiercely at Bai Yu.

“You two can argue all you want every day—just don’t drag me into it!”

With that, she unleashed her signature move: escape.

When it came to hiding like a turtle, she considered herself unmatched.

Inside the ward, the two men locked eyes, and an invisible tension filled the air like smoke.

Bai Yu stared at Chu Jinhan and complained, “It’s all your fault—you scared her away!”

Chu Jinhan said coolly, “How do you know she didn’t leave because she’s had enough of being someone else’s substitute?”

Without waiting for Bai Yu to retort, Chu Jinhan turned and walked out of the room.

But after taking a couple of steps, he turned back and took the thermal lunch box from the cabinet.

Bai Yu was so angered he almost laughed. Just as he was about to fire back, he saw Chu Jinhan suddenly stop in his tracks again.

It was Song Yunfei returning—along with Su Wanhua and a middle-aged man.

That man was Bai Yu’s father. His build was slightly stocky, his hairline had receded a bit, but his foundation was still good—he must have been quite handsome when he was younger.

Seeing Chu Jinhan, Su Wanhua smiled and greeted him. “I didn’t expect Xiao Chu to be here too. You and Xiao Yu must have a very good relationship—you even came to bring him food.”

“You’re overthin—”

Chu Jinhan had just begun to speak coldly when Song Yunfei rushed forward in a flash and firmly covered his mouth.

Has this guy gone crazy with anger? He’s about to offend people right away!

Song Yunfei forced out a stiff smile and tried to smooth things over. “Yes, yes, their relationship is very good. Whenever they meet, they never run out of things to talk about.”

Chu Jinhan glanced sideways at Song Yunfei, a clear hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he said nothing further.

Su Wanhua was extremely perceptive. She immediately sensed that something was off, but chose not to point it out.

Still smiling, she said, “That’s great then. Since you’re both here, my husband and I have something we’d like to discuss with you.”

Chu Jinhan gently pulled Song Yunfei’s hand away, his expression already returning to calm. “What is it?”

Su Wanhua exchanged a glance with her husband.

They wanted to adopt Yunfei as their goddaughter.

In private, they had already quietly conducted a DNA test. Unfortunately, Song Yunfei was not their biological daughter.

However, she was able to accurately describe the private past between her and Bai Yu—something that bordered on the metaphysical.

They didn’t wish to delve too deeply into the reason. Song Yunfei was already the key to reconciliation within their family, so they decided to formally acknowledge her as their goddaughter.

Firstly, Yunfei was Chu Jinhan’s fiancée—her future status would not be low.

Secondly, if Yunfei wanted to stand tall in the Chu family, she would need a respectable identity.

In this way, it would be beneficial for everyone—truly a win-win situation.

Bai Yu naturally raised both hands in agreement, almost wishing he could immediately add Song Yunfei’s name to his household registry.

Chu Jinhan didn’t really have a say in the matter and could only remain silent.

Song Yunfei found it somewhat sudden, but she had no reason to refuse.

Falling into good fortune out of nowhere—only a fool would reject it.

When there’s a powerful backing available, it would be foolish not to rely on it.

Still, she maintained a modest demeanor and said with a slightly troubled expression, “This… what about my parents on my side…”

Su Wanhua smiled gently. “It’s only adopting you as a goddaughter, not taking you away from your parents. We can find an opportunity to meet them, and I’ll personally explain this to them.”

Song Yunfei’s parents had already been in Haishi for two days. Chu Jinhan had arranged for them to stay in the Chu family’s private hospital. The elderly couple were still confused, not yet understanding what had happened.

They had already been given explanations, but they still felt like they might have fallen into a scam—after all, given their status and worldview, they didn’t believe their family could ever connect with such high-level figures.

Song Yunfei had been occupied by Bai Yu these past few days and hadn’t had the chance to visit them.

This time, she could take the opportunity to go back and see them. She immediately nodded and agreed.

Bai Yu also insisted on getting out of bed, ignoring Chu Jinhan’s cold gaze, and stubbornly followed along.

After that, the group headed toward the hospital where Song Yunfei’s parents were staying.
