Chapter 1036 This is the last time.
Grandpa Qin and Qiao Xing both went into the ward.
When Grandpa Qin saw Qin Ce, who had lost a lot of weight in less than a month, his eyes couldn't help but redden.
"You little brat! You're lucky you survived this time!"
Qin Ce's voice was weak and hoarse, "I haven't even seen your great-grandson born yet, how could I bear to lose this life?"
"Alright, don't say things like that at a time like this. As long as you're awake, that's all that matters."
Grandpa Qin spoke briefly with Qin Ce, and after confirming that he was alright, he didn't disturb the young couple.
"You two talk, I'm going back."
After Grandpa Qin left, Qiao Xing went to the bedside.
Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing quietly. After a few seconds of eye contact, Qiao Xing pinched Qin Ce's arm lightly.
"I'll teach you to scare me!"
Her tone was accusatory, but her voice was trembling with tears.
Qin Ce saw this and felt extremely distressed.
He knew what Qiao Xing had gone through during the time he was in a coma.
What's more, she was pregnant.
Qin Ce said, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Xing's voice was thick with emotion, "Who wants your apology? Besides, what have you done to wrong me? I had a wonderful time while you were unconscious!"
Qiao Xing deliberately acted tough to provoke Qin Ce.
Although she knew that Qin Ce's coma was not his fault, the fear and anxiety she had been experiencing these past few days had caused Qiao Xing to have very complicated emotions.
Qin Ce chuckled softly, "Yes, I know you can live well without me, so why are you crying?"
Qiao Xing retorted stubbornly, "Who cried? It's clearly just sand in my eyes."
"Oh," Qin Ce conceded, "Alright then."
Qin Ce wanted to say something more, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly started coughing violently.
Qiao Xing immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why are you coughing so badly?"
She instinctively wanted to call the doctor, but Qin Ce grabbed her arm. "Didn't you say you didn't care about me?"
Qiao Xing was stunned, and then felt so angry that she wanted to hit him.
Qin Ce pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed. He wanted to get up and hug Qiao Xing, but he simply didn't have the strength.
He could only hold Qiao Xing's hand tightly in his own, saying, "I missed you."
Qiao Xing felt the warmth of his palm and realized that Qin Ce waking up was not a dream.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Me too."
Qin Ce looked at Qiao Xing's belly and touched it, as if he could feel the baby responding to him.
Qin Ce asked, "Is the child alright?"
Qiao Xing nodded, "It's all good. I went for a prenatal checkup last week, and the doctor said there were no problems. My due date is around the Spring Festival."
There are less than two months until the Spring Festival, which is earlier than usual this year.
Grandpa Qin's treatment has just ended, and if all goes well, they should be able to return to Chongqing for the Chinese New Year.
Qiao Xing said, "Once you're better, once Grandpa's treatment is finished, let's go back. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Qin Ce said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Qiao Xing lowered her head and said, "This is the last time."
Qin Ce asked, "What do you mean, the last time?"
"This is the last time you're lying to me."
Qin Ce said helplessly, "I never intended to lie to you, but I can't tell you this. You're pregnant right now, and it wouldn't be good for you or the baby if you knew."
Qiao Xing said, "I don't want to hear any of this. Now that I've married you, your affairs are my affairs. I can't and can't possibly be completely unaware of everything."
Qiao Xing looked up at Qin Ce, "Or are you saying you never believed me from the beginning?"
"How could that be? If I didn't trust your grandfather, he would be the first to not let me off the hook. Besides, you're my wife. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Qiao Xing said, "Who knows? After all, someone never believed me in the first place."
Qin Ce understood what Qiao Xing meant. He felt that this "handle" of his would probably be held by Qiao Xing for the rest of his life.
He assured Qiao Xing, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again."
After all, the instigators of these events may never appear in the capital again.
When Wang Yu arrived at the hospital, she saw Xing Jiu at the door of the ward.
Xing Jiu was originally sitting in a chair, but when he saw Wang Yu coming over, he stood up and his expression became serious.
Wang Yu asked, "I heard that Xiao Ce has woken up, so I came to see him."
Xing Jiu said, "Yes, President Qin has woken up."
Wang Yu looked very happy. "You're awake. It's good that you're awake."
She was about to go inside after she finished speaking, but she was stopped by Xing Jiu after taking just one step forward.
Wang Yu looked puzzled.
Logically speaking, although Xing Jiu is Qin Ce's person, Wang Yu is, after all, the chairman's wife, so Xing Jiu has no right to stop her.
But Xing Jiu stood motionless in front of Wang Yu.
Wang Yu asked him, "What's wrong? Can't I go in?"
Xing Jiu said, "The doctor said that outsiders are not allowed to visit for the time being."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of chatting came from inside the ward. Although the voices were soft, Wang Yu could tell that they were Qiao Xing and Qin Ce's voices.
Wang Yu's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
Xing Jiu, however, stood motionless in front of Wang Yu as if she hadn't seen anything.
After looking at him for a few seconds, Wang Yu said nothing and simply turned and left.
After she disappeared from Xing Jiu's sight, she suddenly stood still, her previously unpleasant expression turning into anger.
Xing Jiu dared to do this because she must have listened to Qin Ce.
Qin Ce actually knew she would come from the beginning, which is why he specifically asked Xing Jiu to block the door.
Wang Yu even doubted whether Qin Ce's coma was real or not.
If it's fake, he has no reason not to see her; if it's real, what is her purpose in doing this?
Tomorrow is the day Qin Ji will be officially appointed, and she absolutely cannot allow any problems to occur at this crucial moment.
Just then, Wang Yu saw a familiar figure.
She squeezed the bag in her hand and walked towards the person.
"Mr. Shen, hello, do you have some time? I'd like to talk to you."
...
Upon learning that Qin Ce had woken up, Qin Yi rushed to the hospital.
Qin Ce's complexion had improved considerably by then, and Qiao Xing was sitting beside his bed, peeling oranges for him.
Without warning, Qin Yi pushed open the ward door and walked in. When he saw Qin Ce, he almost burst into tears of joy.
"Brother, you're finally awake."
He lunged forward to hug Qin Ce, but Qin Ce dodged him with obvious disgust.
"That's enough. People who don't know better will think you're mourning."
Qiao Xing also felt that Qin Yi's role was a bit overdone.
Qin Yi missed his target, awkwardly touched his nose, and found a chair to sit down next to him.
