Chapter 215 Did I arrive at the wrong time?
Yang Han was just happy, but hearing these words was like a bucket of cold water being poured on her.
He grabbed Xiao Lin's hand. "I have nothing to do with her, I swear! You have to believe me, I really don't like her, can you please..."
Yang Han paused, then added, "Stop talking about divorce all the time?"
"I'm sorry, I was just suggesting it, I didn't really mean to get a divorce. You don't have to get a divorce, I trust you."
Yang Han was somewhat displeased by these words. The conversation, which resembled a business negotiation, was tinged with a stiff tact. However, considering that she had already done her best, he decided not to dwell on it.
"Just trust me, I'll handle things on her end, you don't need to worry about it, just don't mention things like divorce."
Xiao Lin nodded. "Okay."
Yang Han glanced at her humble demeanor and felt a slight surge of pride, realizing that her status in the family had instantly risen.
"I think we should have a child sooner rather than later so that we can completely cut off that girl's feelings for us."
Xiao Lin paused for a moment, and although her expression was somewhat conflicted, she still awkwardly replied, "Okay."
"..."
Yang Han felt a little uncomfortable.
He scratched his cheek. "Then you go back and tell your parents. I'm going to the hospital."
"good."
He hesitated, then finally let out a sigh and turned to leave.
He felt like he was dreaming; Xiao Lin's change was too sudden, and he was a little disoriented.
He still preferred that indifferent attitude towards him.
This is probably just human nature's weakness; as they say, the more unattainable something is, the more they want it.
Otherwise, Yang Han wouldn't have remained devoted to Xiao Lin for ten years, never flirting with any other women.
Compared to Xiao Lin, this aloof and elegant woman, those other women seemed far too vulgar.
...
It was already late at night.
The hospital was quiet. Qiao Xing was watching over Xue Ling, who showed no signs of waking up.
Joey was also fast asleep. After all, he was getting old and had been exhausted for so long, so he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Qiao Xing covered her with a sheet. Qiao Yi frowned slightly, but did not open her eyes.
Qin Ce pushed open the door and came in, and saw Qiao Xing covering her with a blanket.
He unconsciously closed the door a little softer.
Hearing footsteps, Qiao Xing turned around and glanced at him.
She then walked quickly towards Qin Ce, pulled him outside, gently closed the door, and said, "They're asleep, so let's not go in and wake them."
Qin Ce raised his hand and gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "Are you sleepy? Go back to sleep. I'll stay here and keep watch."
Qiao Xing shook her head: "No need. I've calculated the time, and I should be going back to Weisheng in the next couple of days. I might as well continue to take leave, since there's nothing to do there anyway."
"As for you, you're so busy during the day, why don't you go back to sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy." Qin Ce took her hand again and pulled her to sit down on the chair next to him.
The corridor was empty; the main lights were off, leaving only a few dim lamps, making the corridor feel exceptionally cold and desolate.
Qiao Xing looked down at the hand holding hers and suddenly realized that his hand was a size bigger than hers, completely enveloping her hand in his palm.
"How's the conversation with Yang Han going?"
"It's alright. When it comes to relationships, the more people involved, the more complicated things become. Let them handle it themselves."
Qiao Xing responded with an "oh," having to admit that he was right.
Everyone has a different opinion, and the more people interfere, the more confused the person involved becomes.
Qin Ce held her hand and noticed it was cold. He looked up at her and asked, "Are you cold?"
Qiao Xing shook her head: "I'm not cold, I just washed my hands."
Qin Ce pulled her other hand over and covered both of them with his own.
His palms were very warm, and Qiao Xing's fingers, which had just been frozen, warmed up instantly.
Qiao Xing glanced up at him. His eyes were lowered, and perhaps because the light was too dim, his two sword-like eyebrows looked exceptionally dark.
Qin Ce has low brow ridges, so when he looks at people, he often gives off a sharp and arrogant feeling.
As if sensing her gaze, Qin Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at her. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Just browsing..." Qiao Xing said guiltily, looking away.
The two were just getting intimate when Yang Han suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Whoa! Did I come at the wrong time?"
Startled by the sound, Qiao Xing quickly pulled her hand back and turned around to see Yang Han standing behind her.
How come you walk so quietly?
Yang Han said with a grin, "Why was I silent? You were just too engrossed in your performance. Old Qin saw me coming."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, not refuting it. She had indeed been too engrossed in watching just now.
Seeing Yang Han smiling so happily, Qiao Xing couldn't help but ask him, "Is there something that makes you happy?"
Yang Han sat down next to Qin Ce. "It's just a tiny bit, nothing to mention. By the way, has Xue Ling woken up yet?"
"Not yet. It's so late now. If they woke up, they'd probably be asleep by now."
Yang Han scratched his head: "That's true, then..."
He glanced at the couple and asked, "Shall I leave?"
"No need, you two talk, I'll go in and take a look."
Qiao Xing stood up, pushed open the door, and went inside. Before closing the door, he said to Yang Han, "Keep your voice down."
Yang Han gave her an OK sign.
After the door closed, Qin Ce turned his gaze to Yang Han, noticing the excitement on his face.
What are you doing here instead of staying home?
Yang Han sighed: "I don't want to stay at home. I can't stand being nagged. I've already been scolded all night. Why would I go back and get scolded again?"
Qin Ce didn't offer any opinion, and naturally had no interest in gossiping.
Yang Han couldn't hold back any longer and said to Qin Ce, "What did you say to Xiao Lin last night? She's changed so much today, I hardly recognize her."
"Didn't you hear everything?"
I only heard a little bit.
Qin Ce ignored him.
As soon as Qiao Xing entered the door, he saw Xue Ling staring wide-eyed at the entrance, which startled him.
She quickly went over and sat down by the bed, asking softly, "You're awake? How are you feeling?"
Xue Ling opened her chapped lips and uttered a single word with difficulty and a hoarse voice, "Thirsty."
Qiao Xing quickly ran over to pour her a glass of warm water. She had to admit, this private room was really high-class; it even had a water purifier with heating function.
She took the water, helped Xue Ling sit up, and handed her the water.
Xue Ling gulped down the water in one go, handed the empty glass back to her, and glanced at the doorway again, asking, "Is Yang Han outside?"
Qiao Xing suddenly choked up, unsure whether to say he was there or not.
Xue Ling said, "I just heard a sound."
Qiao Xing sighed, looking at her with a complicated expression, "Can't you let go that much?"
Xue Ling lowered her head. Perhaps because she had just escaped death, she was quite vulnerable, and large tears fell from her eyes.
Qiao Xing understands; the more you do, the harder it is to let go.
Especially since Xue Ling even attempted suicide for him, always trying to get something in return.
For example, his concern.
There are always people who try to prove their importance in the other person's heart by hurting themselves.
