"Jiang Hao, I have low blood sugar, didn't you know that?"
She and Jiang Hao were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship when they were young. He would always carry candy with him to prevent himself from having low blood sugar.
Once upon a time, they were so sincere with each other, but now, they've reached the point where they can't stand looking at each other.
It's just fate playing tricks on us.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao remembered, his expression changed, and he reached out to help Lin Qingtong.
Are you alright? Should I take you to the hospital?
He felt a pang of heartache when he saw Lin Qingtong's pale face.
Just then, Qi Huimin called.
"Brother Hao, my stomach hurts. Is something wrong with the baby? Please come and see me."
Qi Huimin's voice was trembling with tears, which immediately evoked even more heartache in Jiang Hao, completely overshadowing his earlier feelings towards Lin Qingtong.
He replied in a low voice, "I'm already on my way, I'll be there now, don't be afraid."
After Jiang Hao hung up the phone, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qingtong again.
Someone like Lin Qingtong will always find a way to solve this herself; it's just low blood sugar.
Qi Huimin is different; she's always been gentle and frail, and she'd probably be terrified if anything happened to the baby.
Jiang Hao then looked at Lin Qingtong with a troubled expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Lin Qingtong, what about Huimin..."
He reached out to comfort Lin Qingtong, but Lin Qingtong raised her hand and dodged him, her eyes filled with disgust.
Lin Qingtong doesn't need half-hearted concern.
She exuded a chill and uttered a single sentence indifferently.
"Jiang Hao, if you're going somewhere, just go now and stop bothering me."
Lin Qingtong left those words behind and walked towards the side of the street, her back slightly unsteady.
Jiang Hao glanced at it only once before turning around and leaving quickly.
He felt that Qi Huimin needed him more and that he could find a sense of recognition from her.
The morning breeze rustled through the treetops. Lin Qingtong clutched the bottled water in her hand, still feeling a little uncomfortable breathing.
She reached out to turn on the water, but couldn't get it to turn on, and her hand slipped, causing it to fall to the ground.
Lin Qingtong bent down to pick it up, but then everything went black before her eyes, and she was about to fall straight down.
The next second, a long, slender hand steadily supported her waist, and with a twist, pulled her into his arms, her hair brushing against Shen Tinghe's cheek.
"Planning to sleep on the road?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong smiled helplessly, grabbed Shen Tinghe's arm with one hand, and replied just as defiantly.
"Then you'll sleep here with me?"
Shen Tinghe chuckled, picked her up, and carried her towards the vehicle.
"You can't sleep here, it's too hard. Besides, it's getting light, and you should be at work soon."
Lin Qingtong leaned weakly against Shen Tinghe's chest. She had no strength in her limbs and could only manage a weak smile.
"That's a pity. To have to go to work when you're sick is a terrible thing."
Shen Tinghe stopped talking, but after getting into the car, he handed her bread and milk.
"Eat something, don't die here."
Lin Qingtong didn't care about his words, and simply took the bread and milk and ate them in small bites.
After eating, Lin Qingtong felt much better and her complexion improved.
She leaned back in her chair, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Tinghe's handsome and aloof face. She couldn't help but recall their first meeting, when she was simply infatuated with him.
As for what happened afterward, I was completely captivated by that face.
With fair skin, long and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and delicate thin lips, she exudes a cool and aloof aura, like a celestial being descended from the heavens.
It makes one want to pick it and then trample it mercilessly.
The car was parked in the Shen Group parking lot, and Lin Qingtong followed Shen Tinghe into the office.
She casually closed the door and went straight into the rest room to lie down and sleep without any hesitation.
Shen Tinghe watched her carefree behavior and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Well, she was really too tired last night, so let her get some rest.
Throughout the morning, Shen Tinghe was somewhat absent-minded, his thoughts constantly drifting towards the break room.
Around noon, Shen Tinghe pushed open the door and entered, where he saw Lin Qingtong lying on the soft bed.
Her jet-black hair bloomed like flowers, and her brows were furrowed, as if something sad was happening to her even in her dreams.
Shen Tinghe leaned closer, his slender fingers landing on Lin Qingtong's brow, wanting to smooth out her frown.
Then his gaze moved from between her brows to her lips, which were glistening with moisture and exuded an irresistible sweetness.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and with a tender expression, he leaned down and covered her with his own, the taste soft and sweet.
The moment Shen Tinghe released Lin Qingtong, he heard her say something joking.
"I'm not Sleeping Beauty, who needs a prince to kiss me awake."
Shen Tinghe stared dangerously at Lin Qingtong, and slowly uttered a sentence.
"If you have nowhere to go, I can take you in."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong sat up abruptly, casually running her slender fingers through her hair and nonchalantly refused.
"This suggestion isn't very good, Uncle."
Her words implied a rejection of Shen Tinghe and a desire for him to recognize his true identity as her nominal uncle.
Shen Tinghe straightened up and glanced down at Lin Qingtong.
"I'll give you one more chance. As long as you move out of the Jiang family, I'll agree to any condition."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong turned her head and glanced at Shen Tinghe again, her light-colored pupils filled with indifference and coldness.
"I have one condition: you cannot sign a contract with Jiang Hao's company, and you must create the illusion that you are about to sign a contract with them."
