Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Zhen did not evade or hide anything. “Yes.”
In an instant, Zhou Sui’s eyes seemed to widen in anger. “You… So you still helped him in his search for her? You made me follow along for two years!”
If he knew about all the things Han Xu did to hurt that girl, how could he even think about helping him? It’s like throwing Tong Jia into a fire pit! Plus, didn’t that girl mention she had someone she loved? And he still has the audacity to be the third party? And plotting against her father too? Ruining her promising future?
Qin Zhen felt Zhou Sui’s anger was inexplicable and looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Tong Wanzhe’s father is just an ordinary worker. Without
Han Xu, she might never afford a house in the city center in her whole life. Han Xu did rush things a bit, but he also changed her destiny. Besides, Han Xu is different now. Have you ever seen him truly love anyone? When Tong Wanzhe returns to his side, she’ll have endless glory and favor waiting for her, something her ordinary boyfriend could never provide. I’m helping Han Xu, and at the same time, I’m helping Tong Wanzhe! Without Han Xu, her life wouldn’t be as good.”
Zhou Sui muttered, “… You’re really…”
He struggled for words, unable to even come up with an appropriate insult. These two childhood friends of his, how could they be so selfish and inconsiderate? “Forget it. I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore! With your mindset, you’ll regret it! I’ve said my piece.”
With that, he directly left, throwing away the dinner he had brought. He was genuinely furious; what was the point of eating? Let the two of them starve.
Qin Zhen’s brows furrowed deeply. He didn’t understand, what was there to regret? Han Xu had become like this because his obsession with Tong Jia ran too deep. Qin Zhen, on the other hand, was different from Han Xu. His feelings for Shen Qingyue were just a momentary liking. Once he married Wei Jiuer, that insignificant emotion wouldn’t matter anymore. Wei Jiuer being his wife was a decision he had made long ago, and it was about to come true soon. How could he possibly regret it?
Yet, thinking like this, Qin Zhen could not shake off the heavy feeling in his heart.
After Shen Qingyue sent Tong Jia back, she immediately arranged for her to be transferred to another hospital through Yu Zhuang. Tong Jia was sent away that night, fearing that Han Xu, that lunatic, might come back. After seeing Tong Jia off, Shen Qingyue went to Chi Ming’s ward. As soon as she entered, she saw that Chi Ming had already changed out of the patient gown and was dressed in formal attire, buttoning his cuff with one hand.
“Are you ready to be discharged?” If she remembered correctly, Chi Ming could not move earlier in the morning and had asked her to pass him a water glass. What happened? Did he recover in just one day?
“Yes, I’m leaving tomorrow morning for the gambling city. I need to go back and pack tonight. Originally, my parents were supposed to go, but they had something urgent, so I have to go in person.” It was actually a last-minute decision, but he had no choice.
“But your injuries haven’t fully healed yet… Can’t you skip this trip?” Shen Qingyue was concerned.
“Don’t worry, I can move freely now, and the things I need to do there don’t require much physical effort.” Chi Ming reassured her.
Shen Qingyue narrowed her eyes suddenly, scrutinizing him. “Chi Ming, did your injuries heal a couple of days ago?”
Chi Ming fastened his wristwatch and looked up at her without hiding anything. “Yes.”
Shen Qingyue almost wanted to slap him. She thought he couldn’t even get out of bed! “Then why did you pretend to be ill?”
Chi Ming’s voice was deep and mellow, and he smiled leisurely, “Well, I pretended for two days.”
Shen Qingyue did not ask him why he pretended to be ill because she had an answer in her heart when she looked at him. She then asked, “How long will you be gone?”
“This matter is quite important; it will probably take about a week.” Chi Ming looked at her, his eyes focused. “Can you come to the airport to see me off tomorrow? I won’t be able to see you for a whole week…”
Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. In the end, inexplicably, she added, “Come back early, and take care.”
Chi Ming’s eyes were filled with a smile. “Don’t worry.”
Early the next morning, Shen Qingyue accompanied Chi Ming to the airport. However, for some reason, his departure left her with an uneasy feeling. Was it because this person had been around recently, and she had started to get used to his presence? However, this melancholy did not last long. She soon received a call from the bodyguard, saying that Xu Fengzhi was causing a scene in the hospital and wanted to see Shen Jun..
