Chapter 1218 Are you going to treat me like Li Jinxing?
Thinking of Si Yan and Si Xu, Li Jinxing raised his right hand to cover his eyes, leaving some wet marks on the pillow.
I remember the last time I shed tears was more than ten years ago, when I learned that Gu Wanqiu was "dead".
Crying at this time was the most pathetic thing to do, but he couldn't find any other way except to vent his pent-up emotions by crying.
Less than a year to live...
Li Jinxing smiled bitterly, his shoulders trembling slightly.
At this time he had to admit that no one was not afraid of death, and he was no exception. When facing death, he, a mortal, could not accept it calmly.
Li Jinxing took a few deep breaths and took less than a minute to calm himself down. When he put down his hands, there was only a little red in his eyes, and there was no sign of him crying.
If he only had one year to live, the most important thing he should do during this year was to arrange his property and leave it for his two children, so that they can inherit it slowly when they grow up. Fortunately, he has worked hard in the past few years and accumulated a lot of property. Even if his two children do nothing and just eat and drink every day, they will not have to worry about their lives.
There are both blessings and misfortunes. Unfortunately, he has not been able to spend more time with his two children over the years. Now there is only a short year left, and he doesn't have much time left even if he wants to.
After the hospital confirmed with Li Jinxing again and again, seeing that Li Jinxing insisted on being discharged, they had no choice but to complete the discharge procedures for him. During this period, in accordance with the agreement with He Tian, the doctor who came did not disclose any treatment plan. Blood transfusion was the only thing they could think of for the time being. The success rate was low and it was too unbelievable. Now the hospital has gathered authoritative doctors from various places to discuss this treatment plan and how to minimize the risks.
After being discharged from the hospital, Li Jinxing went directly to Beicheng. After Butler Sun sent him to the hospital and waited for He Tian and others, he returned to Beicheng and took care of the children with two nannies.
When Li Jinxing was discharged from the hospital, he said goodbye to Butler Sun, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Si Yan and Si Xu standing at the door.
Butler Sun came out after hearing the noise outside and stood behind the two children.
"Boss Li, Si Yan and Si Xu have been waiting for you at the door since they heard you were coming back today."
So, they were squatting at the door waiting for him for most of the day?
"Dad." The two children called him weakly, their expressions showing anxiety, tension, panic and worry...
It’s amazing to see so many expressions on the faces of two five-year-old children.
"Isn't it cold standing outside? Why don't you wait inside?"
"I want to be the first to see Daddy come back."
He was angry when he saw in the surveillance video what the two children did after they let Gu Wanqiu go, but after coming back and seeing the two children's faces, the anger disappeared.
Li Jin walked forward, holding a child in each hand and holding them in his arms. He was not well yet and was tired just walking, so it was impossible for him to pick them up like he usually did.
"Dad..." Si Yan called out with a sob. After the word "Dad" fell, the two children burst into tears in his arms, their bodies sobbing.
"Why are you crying? I didn't scold you."
It was because they didn't scold him that they felt sorry for him. Mom left and they were the ones who let her go. They were sad and didn't even have anyone to talk to. They dared to hide in their father's arms and cry, but they didn't dare to mention their mother in his arms because they knew that their father loved their mother too.
"Dad, someone outside said that your life is in danger. Is that true?"
Li Jinxing frowned and looked at Butler Sun. Butler Sun shook his head, indicating that he had not said these things to the two children, and that these were all shown on TV.
Only insiders knew that Li Jinxing was in the hospital. After He Tian and Zhou Yi rushed back, they blocked this kind of news because they didn't want it to become a big deal. Now that it has been leaked and even made the news... we can only say that someone leaked it on purpose.
Needless to say, who released him was Gong Qing. The bigger the commotion, the better it would be for him.
"People outside are just talking nonsense."
"Then why did you take so long to go home? Were you sick and hospitalized?"
"No, I'm angry with you two. You should know why I'm angry."
Si Yan and Si Xu shuddered. In order not to worry the two children, Butler Sun and the others did not tell them that Li Jinxing was in the hospital and in a coma. They only said that he was busy with work.
During these five days, Li Jinxing seemed to have disappeared. He didn't ask about them, nor did he call home. The two children couldn't eat or sleep well, and they lost a lot of weight. The quieter they were, the more frightening it was. They couldn't help but think about it, especially when they saw on TV that Li Jinxing was in danger of his life, they were scared and cried.
Fortunately, Li Jinxing woke up, otherwise the two children would have to stay in fear at home for who knows how long.
"Dad, I'm sorry..."
"Why are you saying sorry to me?"
"Mom is gone, we didn't keep her."
"You can't keep someone who wants to leave. It's not your fault, but you shouldn't have stopped Aunt Wang and the others from calling Housekeeper Sun. A bunch of strangers just barged into your house. What if they were bad guys? What if something happened to you? Have you ever thought about these questions?"
"I'm sorry." Si Yan and Si Xu lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes.
Li Jinxing knew that they had listened to him, and he also knew that the two children were thinking only of Gu Wanqiu, but Gu Wanqiu, as a mother, had let down the two children's sincerity, and he would get it back.
"Come in."
Si Yan, who is usually lively and cheerful, became very silent today. He is not a stupid child. His father said that he was not in the hospital, but his face looked very bad. He also smelled of disinfectant on his body and saw the needle holes on the back of his hand and the blue veins.
This proved that it was true that Dad had been hospitalized these days, but Si Yan couldn't guess how serious his condition was. However, in his impression, his father had never been sick.
Being sick and hospitalized is not a big deal, but Dad chose not to tell them. Does that prove that the illness is very serious and Dad didn't tell them because he was afraid that they would be scared?
Si Yan thought too much and quietly held her brother's hand. After entering the house, she brought water to Li Jinxing for him to drink.
There were not many people in this house to begin with. After Butler Sun came here, the number of people did not change. But after Li Jinxing entered, he always felt that the whole house seemed very empty without Gu Wanqiu.
In the past, when he came back, he subconsciously looked for Gu Wanqiu. Now that she was gone, he couldn't see her no matter how hard he looked.
"dad."
When Li Jinxing was sitting on the sofa, Siyan and Sixu were sitting beside him. He turned his head to look at Siyan on his left.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad, will you go find Mom?"
"Do you want her to come back?"
They didn't need to answer verbally, their expressions had already told Li Jinxing that they actually wanted Gu Wanqiu to come back.
but……
"Mom won't be happy here. If she's not happy, then there's no point in her staying here. It's like the kites we fly during the New Year. If you hold on too tightly, the kite will break."
If you hold the kite string too tightly, it will break. Li Jinxing also understands this.
"But I still want her to come back. I can let her go, but I don't like her leaving without saying goodbye in this way. She owes me too much..." Having said that, Li Jinxing looked back at the kitchen, where he collapsed five days ago.
His throat felt itchy, so Li Jinxing covered his mouth and coughed, swallowing the bloody taste in his mouth.
Li Jinxing suddenly asked: "If you were given a choice in the future, would you choose dad or mom?"
Si Yan didn't like answering such serious questions. Uncle He had asked him this before, and he was angry about it. But Li Jinxing's tone today was too serious, and it was impossible to be perfunctory. Si Yan replied: "No need for later. My brother and I have chosen Dad now." If he had chosen Mom, he would have followed Mom that day.
Li Jinxing asked: "Don't you like her very much?"
Si Yan said, "But my brother and I love Dad too. If you think about the time, we've known Dad longer. We've lived well without Mom all these years, and it's all because of you. So now that Mom is gone, it's no different from before. Dad... let's just live our lives as before."
But he can't go back to the past.
…
Gu Wanqiu was locked in the room for the entire day. Three meals a day were brought to her by the nanny and bodyguards. After putting the food in, they quickly closed the door. No matter how much Gu Wanqiu knocked, they did not open the door.
The food brought by the nanny was placed on the ground. Gu Wanqiu glanced away and looked away. The hot food eventually became cold. She had no appetite to eat, but she felt hungry. If she didn't eat, the baby in her belly would also be hungry.
Gu Wanqiu took two bites of the cold food.
After waiting from dusk to dawn and then again until dusk, Gong Qing came back. Gu Wanqiu kept the window open to listen to the noise outside. In the middle of the night, the sound of cars could be heard outside.
She immediately got up from the bed. She had not turned off the light in the room. She stood by the window and looked outside and saw Gong Qing coming out of the car.
Gong Qing should come here. Gu Wanqiu stood barefoot at the door. Not long after, she heard noises coming from outside. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door. The two were separated by a door. At this moment, her five senses were magnified, especially her hearing.
I heard the sound of the key being inserted into the lock, the door handle moved, and with a click, the door opened.
Gong Qing was stunned when he saw Gu Wanqiu standing at the door: "Are you still asleep?"
His voice was hoarse and his face was full of fatigue. He hadn't slept for two days. Yesterday was fine, but he had been working intensively today and his entire brain seemed to be drained.
His face was very pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were dry and chapped.
As soon as Gong Qing came in, Gu Wanqiu smelled the smell of alcohol on him and thought that he must have gone out to drink with someone today.
"Qiuqiu, are you hungry? I brought you your favorite noodles with soybean paste." He raised the box in his hand.
Gu Wanqiu stretched out her hand to push him away and wanted to go out, but before she reached the door, she grabbed Gong Qing's hand. The force was so strong that she couldn't break free. Gu Wanqiu suddenly felt a tight pain in her wrist as if her flesh and bones were squeezed together. Her hand was injured by the door yesterday, and now it was being held by Gong Qing. She suddenly felt as if her bones were about to break.
She cried out, "It hurts."
Gong Qing pulled her back, then raised his foot and kicked the door shut.
"Why do you want to go out as soon as I come back? I brought you some noodles with soybean paste, but you didn't even take a look at them?" Gong Qing pressed on, forcing Gu Wanqiu in. He put the noodles on the table and opened it slowly.
"The noodles are clumping... They don't taste good anymore. I won't bring you noodles next time."
Gu Wanqiu didn't say a word except to cry out "pain". She looked at Gong Qing vigilantly while looking at the bedroom door. This small action was seen by Gong Qing.
"Don't look. Even if you go out of this door, you can't leave this house, let alone this village. There are so many people guarding outside. Didn't you see it clearly during the day?" Therefore, even at night, Gong Qing did not withdraw the bodyguards outside, and even arranged more people to take turns guarding.
The bodyguard couldn't understand one thing: Gu Wanqiu was a woman, a pregnant woman at that, with a big belly who had to gasp for breath even when walking. Did she need so many people watching her?
But in fact, Gong Qing was not preventing Gu Wanqiu from leaving here, but was preventing people outside from coming here to take Gu Wanqiu away.
Gong Qing looked at Gu Wanqiu and saw her trembling hands. He suddenly realized that Gu Wanqiu's hand was crushed yesterday, and he didn't call a doctor to see her, nor did he ask anyone to get some medicine to apply on her.
Not to mention Gu Wanqiu, sometimes Gong Qing himself felt that he had become a stranger. Just like yesterday, after he crushed Gu Wanqiu's hand, he just took a quick look and left. If it were in the past, he would not ignore it even if Gu Wanqiu twisted her foot.
There was only one chair in the room. Gong Qing stood up and reached out to grab Gu Wanqiu again. This time he didn't grab her hand, but pressed her shoulders and took her to the bed.
In the bedroom, on the bed, in the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone...
Gu Wanqiu fell awkwardly onto the bed, protecting her stomach and looking at Gong Qing warily. She slowly moved to the side, wanting to get off the bed and get away from Gong Qing.
The wariness in Gu Wanqiu's eyes made Gong Qing feel uncomfortable and depressed. He stepped forward and held Gu Wanqiu firmly in front of him. A huge shadow fell on Gu Wanqiu.
The pressure emanating from Gong Qing made Gu Wanqiu tremble.
Gu Wanqiu lowered her head, knowing that Gong Qing's eyes had never left her. That gaze was too bold, as if he was tearing off her clothes and staring at her naked body, making people feel ashamed and angry.
She pretended to be calm, trying not to let her voice tremble: "Gong Qing, are you going to treat me like Li Jinxing?"
"No, I'm different from Li Jinxing. At least I won't force you."
Hearing Gong Qing's words, Gu Wanqiu suddenly laughed. Isn't it ironic and ridiculous to say this now?
Maybe Gong Qing was drunk, very drunk, and he might not even know what he said.
Gu Wanqiu looked up: "You lock me up like this and don't let me go out. What's the difference between that and forcing me?"
Gong Qing's heart couldn't help but twitch. He stretched out his hand to touch Gu Wanqiu's face, but just as he raised his hand, he was slapped down by Gu Wanqiu.
"Do not touch me!"
