After dumping the poor tycoon, 26
Qi Dong didn't disturb his daughter, and turned to look for Qi Ning.
Qi Ning had some external injuries that had been treated, but the doctor found many old scars on his body, suspecting that he had been subjected to violence for a long time, so he mentioned them to the police.
Although the police questioned Qi Ning, he didn't mention a word about it.
Of course, everyone knew that the person who abused him was his biological mother, Wenci.
Wen Ci has become so depraved that she hired someone to kill him. According to the nurse who took care of her, she usually beats and scolds Qi Ning. With such a birth mother, it's not easy for him to grow up to be the way he is now.
When Qi Dong arrived, Qi Ning had already changed back into her own clothes and was preparing to leave.
What did you tell the police?
"They didn't say anything else besides what happened today," Qi Ning replied.
Qi Dong is concerned about his reputation. Wen Ci and her son Qi Ning have become his shame, and since he cannot erase them, he can only try to reduce their presence in his life.
But who would have thought that something like this would happen today?
Now that things have come to this, Qi Dong can't protect it even if he wants to, so the only option is to cut ties cleanly.
He said, "You've tolerated her violence all these years, and now she's gone so far as to kill people. Even if she's your biological mother, you don't need to protect her anymore, or who knows what might happen in the future."
"I understand, but my sister's opinion is the most important." Qi Ning lowered her eyes, her tone gentle, and seemed easy to handle.
Seeing him like this, Qi Dong nodded and asked with concern, "Didn't they say that Gu Shi arrived with his men in time? How did he get injured?"
Qi Ning: "Gu Shi probably thought I was a thug too, and accidentally punched me. It's nothing serious."
Qi Dong: "...Yes, get some rest. Don't rush the things you're working on."
After Qi Dong left, Qi Ning curled her lips in a mocking smile, her eyes now filled with nothing but coldness.
From childhood to adulthood, Qi Dong has always treated him this way.
Wenci is also one.
He lied to his sister. Wen Ci had never been kind to him; she only used him as a tool. At first, she wanted to gain Qi Dong's love and attention through him, and later she wanted him to inherit the Qi family business.
But she was destined to gain nothing, and she was about to lose even her only son.
Qi Ning had a bruise on the corner of his mouth. Before leaving, he reached out and rubbed it hard, causing the wound to reopen and bleed.
Without even blinking, he wiped away the blood with his fingertips and strolled out.
Qi An'an inhaled a lot of sedatives, and had some abrasions on her knees and the backs of her hands. Gu Shi planned to have her hospitalized for observation for a day.
Qi Ning walked to the ward, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open and went in without waiting for the person inside to speak.
At that moment, Qi An'an was hugging Gu Shi's neck, about to give him a loving kiss, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door, which startled her so much that she immediately leaned back against the headboard.
The kiss that Gu had just caught flew away.
He turned back with a stern face.
Qi Ning's short hair was messy, and the bruises and bloodstains at the corners of his mouth made his skin look even whiter.
He's the kind of battle-worn handsome man who's most likely to make girls swoon!
Qi An'an had intended to say something to him, but at this moment she couldn't help but soften her voice and say, "A-Ning, your wound hasn't been treated? Does it hurt a lot?"
Qi Ning tried his best to ignore Gu Shi's gaze, which seemed to want to torture him, and came to Qi An'an. "It's been treated, it doesn't hurt. Although my brother-in-law hit me hard, I have thick skin and will recover quickly."
His words plunged both of them into an eerie silence.
Gu Shi disliked Qi Ning. Qi Ning was only superficially innocent; in reality, she was an uncontrollable viper, and even her speech was sarcastic and unpleasant.
But he calls him "brother-in-law".
Qi An'an was also uncomfortable with being called "brother-in-law". Not long ago, the two of them had a fight over a disagreement. Now, her younger brother was calling her that so readily. Gu Shi should give him a big red envelope.
"Okay, it's good that you're alright." Qi An'an nodded. "I don't want to stay in the hospital either, so let's go together. I'm actually hungry."
Gu Shi: "No."
Qi Ning: "Okay."
After the two finished speaking, the ward was quiet for a moment.
Gu Shi lowered his gaze and took the empty cup from Qi An'an's hand. "I only booked a table for two people."
Qi Ning: "Okay... then I'll just find something to eat by myself on the roadside. Sister and brother-in-law, go and enjoy your time together."
Gu Shijun's face turned cold, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "..."
Calling him brother-in-law won't help.
Looking at the pitiful-looking Qi Ning in front of her, Qi An'an recalled the way he used to kick people in the factory, so she nodded and said, "Don't eat out. Go home and have Auntie make you something to eat."
Qi Ning: "..."
This trick doesn't work much on my sister.
"Okay." He nodded with a smile, but his eyes were filled with disappointment and loneliness.
But no matter how well he acted, it was useless, as Gu Shi had already stood up and blocked his way.
Qi An'an didn't even see his pitiful appearance.
Qi Ning: "..."
Gu Shi draped a coat over Qi An'an, picked her up, and didn't give Qi Ning a chance to speak again.
Qi Ning followed the two of them like a little tail, unwilling to give up.
Qi An'an looked at this and then at that, and couldn't help but start discussing it with Xiao Hei.
Why would they do this?
Xiao Hei analyzed carefully: "Your younger brother likes you, so they are rivals for your affections, hence their mutual hostility."
Qi An'an: [You can shut up now.]
Xiao Hei: "..."
Qi An'an got into the car, glancing out the window several times.
Gu Shi pretended not to know and stepped on the gas to leave the hospital parking lot.
He glanced at the man in the rearview mirror, his anger rising; all he did was pretend.
However, she seemed to fall for this trick.
As darkness fell and lights illuminated countless homes, a continuous stream of orange-red cars stretched across the river, while Gu Shi's car was stuck in traffic on the bridge.
The car stopped and started, and as time went on, a sense of restlessness rose in Gu Shi's heart.
He still had many things to prepare: tonight's menu, tonight's cake, tonight's...
"Wow, Ah Shi, look outside, the sky is so beautiful."
Qi An'an's voice suppressed Gu Shi's chaotic thoughts.
He followed her voice and turned his head to look out. The weather wasn't very good today; it was gloomy and overcast. But in the evening, there was a fiery sunset, and after the sun had set, the sky turned into a clean, dark blue.
And on the western horizon, there was a rich, gradient orange hue.
But even the most beautiful sky seems utterly ordinary when framed by a girl's eyes and brows.
Gu Shi's gaze lingered on her profile, and he nodded. "Yes, she looks beautiful."
The car in front moved slowly, and gradually, it left the bridge. Qi An'an's view was blocked, so she said, "Let's come here to watch the sunset next time."
Gu Shi agreed, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Okay."
It turns out that as long as I'm with her, even being stuck in traffic is a wonderful thing.
She suddenly looked at him and said seriously, "Gu Shi, don't look at me like that..."
Gu Shi didn't react immediately, and her expression became slightly serious. "What's wrong?"
She smiled brightly, "When you look at me like that, I want to kiss you."
Gu Shi: "..."
He also raised the corners of his mouth, completely erasing the coldness in his eyes.
Qi An'an stared at him intently, her heart itching; she really wanted to kiss him...
Xiao Hei could sense Qi An'an's thoughts and empathize with Gu Shi...
Waaaaah, I really want to see Gu Shi and An An kiss!!
Half an hour later, the car entered the Qian Yue Club. Qi An'an put the dizzy Xiao Hei in her pocket and stood by the car waiting for Gu Shi.
Gu Shi came up to her, but didn't leave immediately. His dark eyes looked at her, filled with a surging, ocean-like longing.
Qi An'an suddenly felt thirsty when he looked at her like that, and subconsciously licked her lips. "What are you looking at?"
"What did you say in the car just now?" he whispered, reminding her.
Qi An'an shook her head, "I don't know, I have a bad memory, I forgot."
After saying that, she turned and tried to run away.
However, Gu Shi seemed to have anticipated her reaction and quickly pulled her back, holding her tightly in his arms.
She still smelled of disinfectant, but it couldn't mask her sweet and refreshing scent.
Gu Shi lowered his head, his tall frame enveloping her tightly in his arms. "Qi An'an, I thought..."
His voice was hoarse and barely audible.
His breath brushed against her neck, making her shrink back uncomfortably.
"What did you think?" Qi An'an pressed, reaching out to wrap her arms around his waist, her voice soft.
"I thought you were going to abandon me again." The words were finally squeezed out of Gu Shi's throat.
How could that be?
Qi An'an said this with a guilty conscience.
She's quite skilled at faking her death now, and occasionally has the thought, but she always has to choose a suitable time, otherwise her superiors will make things difficult for her again.
Qi An'an's thoughts raced, but Gu Shi only hugged her tighter, almost suffocating her.
Most importantly, it made her chest hurt...
"Gu Shi, don't hug me so tightly..."
Gu Shi then loosened his grip, but his eyes flickered slightly when he caught a glimpse of the smooth, slender neck.
Her skin was so delicate that even with his utmost care, he could still leave some marks, but now those marks are all gone...
He rubbed his fingertips on it a couple of times, but found no cosmetics. He turned his head and leaned in, his thin lips kissing and sucking on that small patch of white skin.
"Mmm." Qi An'an was suddenly treated like this, and in an instant, her blood rushed to her brain. She trembled slightly in his arms, and her whole body felt a little numb.
It's so itchy!
A hickey appeared, and Gu Shi's eyes still burned with passion. He pulled up her collar and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go eat."
Qi An'an's legs went weak and her face turned red, "..."
But the way he's acting doesn't look like he's going to eat; it looks like he's going to book a hotel room.
Arriving at the artificial lake, a cold wind blew away the impure thoughts in Qi An'an's mind.
There was a glass house by the lake with a sea of glowing flowers. Qi An'an suddenly remembered, oh right, today is her birthday.
Although many things happened during the day, they did not affect her mood at all.
Gu Shi was also somewhat surprised when he saw it. He hadn't had time to finish making the arrangements before going to find An An, but now everything was already prepared.
After he sat down, he sent Jiang Ming a message: Thank you.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was wolfing down his food in a private room. When he saw the message from Gu Shi, he scoffed, "Just this 'thank you'? Humph, if you don't let me sit at the head table at your wedding, I'll fight you to the death."
