People often speak without thinking when they are in a hurry. He Lingchuan only realized how hurtful his words were after he said them.
How could Cao Xue not cherish her own life? She clearly tried so hard to live.
He Lingchuan looked guilty, and he moved his lips as if to apologize: "I just..."
"I know you mean well."
Cao Xue interrupted him, her voice sounding somewhat muffled.
She lowered her head, her hands clasped together, looking somewhat aggrieved, her eyes a little red: "I'm afraid I'll never see you again, so I want to see you a few more times while I still have the strength."
Cao Xue was worried about causing him trouble, so after saying that, she began to explain: "Brother Lingchuan, don't overthink it. I didn't mean anything by it. I just really enjoy talking to you. I came here just to talk to you."
He Lingchuan looked down at Cao Xue and fell silent.
There is still no heart source available, and no one can be sure how long Cao Xue will live. He Lingchuan really couldn't bear to hear her request.
He Lingchuan pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.
Cao Xue thought he was angry, so she cautiously probed, "Brother Lingchuan, do you think I'm being too willful? I..."
"I'll talk to your sister about it, and we'll have you come over when you have time."
Cao Xue looked at He Lingchuan with some surprise: "Really?"
Looking into Cao Xue's innocent and carefree eyes, He Lingchuan nodded gently: "I promise you, I will definitely help you find a suitable heart."
As He Lingchuan spoke, he patted his own shoulder, hoping that Cao Xue would believe him.
For several days in a row, Cao Xue met with He Lingchuan under the watchful eyes of her bodyguards.
Although Cao Wei relented, she was still worried about Cao Xue's safety and had no choice but to use this method.
A week later, He Lingchuan was able to be discharged from the hospital.
Perhaps because the last incident was too serious, He Lingchuan hasn't seen Shen Yanxi for a week.
After being discharged from the hospital, He Lingchuan had his driver take him directly to the Shen family home. He hadn't seen his children for a long time and missed them terribly.
Upon arriving at the Shen family villa, He Lingchuan gently knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, just as He Lingchuan was about to call Shen Yanxi to inquire, Shen Yanxi called first.
Where are the children?
He Lingchuan got straight to the point; all he wanted to know was where the children were.
Shen Yanxi responded to him without any mercy: "You will never see the child."
He Lingchuan's grip on his phone tightened slowly. He gritted his teeth and questioned Shen Yanxi, "Where are you now? Where are the children? I need to see them right now."
"But they don't want to see you."
Shen Yanxi placed her hands on the children's shoulders, about to speak, when she heard a busy signal from the other end.
"They actually hung up on me."
Shen Yanxi was so angry that she threw her phone onto the bed, and the two children were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Once Shen Yanxi's emotions had calmed down, Nan Chen asked, "Mom, why can't we see Dad?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Nan Chen continued to ask, "Did Dad just say he was coming to find us?"
"He never said that."
Shen Yanxi squatted down and comforted the two children.
She had finally managed to calm the two children down when she heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Zhou Mingyan frowned and pointed to the door: "It should be He Lingchuan."
Shen Yanxi asked the housekeeper to take the two children back to their room and then went to open the door herself.
As soon as she opened the door a crack, Shen Yanxi was pushed into the room by He Lingchuan. Before she could even stand up straight, she heard He Lingchuan's voice: "Where's the child? Where did you hide the child?"
He Lingchuan looked at Shen Yanxi with a cold and displeased expression: "Hand over the child to me."
Don't even think about it.
Shen Yanxi looked up at He Lingchuan with a hint of disgust in her eyes: "Don't think I don't know your plans. You said you don't want the child, but that's just a delaying tactic. Your goal is to make me lower my guard so you can find an opportunity to take the child away."
Shen Yanxi grew angrier as she spoke, her hatred for He Lingchuan intensifying: "He Lingchuan, I will absolutely not let you succeed. As for these two children, I will send them abroad to receive the best education. You will never see them again."
"That's my child."
He Lingchuan grabbed Shen Yanxi's wrist, his eyes filled with displeasure as he looked at her: "You have no right to send them away."
"I am their mother, why don't I have the right to be their mother?"
As Shen Yanxi spoke, she looked at Zhou Mingyan standing beside her and said, "Don't worry, Mingyan will go abroad to accompany them. Mingyan will take your place. As for you, I see you are having a good chat with Cao Xue. You can just go find her."
Shen Yanxi said this, but looked at He Lingchuan with resentment.
If he really goes to find Cao Xue, Shen Yanxi will be unhappy.
What she wanted was for He Lingchuan to beg her to keep the child and to accept him back.
He Lingchuan's foot injury had just healed, but he could still feel pain when standing for a long time.
He pursed his lips, feeling utterly disheartened.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Upon hearing his words, Shen Yanxi nodded without hesitation: "Unless you apologize to me."
He Lingchuan narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back. He seemed not to have heard what Shen Yanxi said next, and instead coldly informed her: "In that case, we have no choice but to go to court."
He Lingchuan sighed, looking helpless: "I don't want it to come to this. After all, we've been husband and wife. Taking this to court will only make us a laughing stock."
He originally wanted to leave some room for maneuver, but he didn't expect Shen Yanxi to go too far.
Seeing Shen Yanxi's eyes widen, He Lingchuan said in a stern tone, "You'd better wait to receive a lawyer's letter."
Before leaving, He Lingchuan glanced at Zhou Mingyan standing next to Shen Yanxi and said, "You're the same; I won't let you off either."
He Lingchuan left these two sentences and turned to leave.
The moment he left, Shen Yanxi felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
She swayed precariously, but fortunately Zhou Mingyan reacted quickly and caught her by the waist.
Shen Yanxi looked up and asked Zhou Mingyan for confirmation: "What did he just say? He's going to sue me?"
Zhou Mingyan lowered his head and said with a troubled expression, "Xixi, you heard me right, that's what he meant just now."
Seeing Shen Yanxi's eyes gradually dim, Zhou Mingyan took the opportunity to sow discord between the two of them: "Xixi, can you believe me now? He Lingchuan is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Don't be nice to him anymore. He doesn't deserve you treating him like this at all."
Zhou Mingyan gripped Shen Yanxi's arm, his tone serious: "In this world, only I am truly good to you. At least I won't fight you for the child."
