Chapter 121: This is like pie in the sky...
This is like pie falling from the sky. Even the luckiest person would hesitate for a moment.
Xia Yiqing's pupils shrank slightly, and even the pain in her stomach subsided a little.
Sure enough, it’s true what they say about the stomach being the organ of emotions.
She clearly wanted to ask, "Why did you bring me up there?", but when Xia Yiqing saw Madam Qi's wheelchair, all she felt was guilt.
It is rumored that Madam Qi is devoted to charity and is a kind-hearted person. Now it seems that the rumors are true.
"Madam..." Xia Yiqing wanted to apologize for doubting the old lady's thoughts just now.
"You and Han Mu had a relationship before, didn't you?" Old Madam Qi interrupted Xia Yiqing. She steered the electric wheelchair forward and stopped half a meter away from Xia Yiqing.
"You care about him and it's only natural that you want to know about his situation. Since you're so unwilling to believe that Han Mu himself doesn't want to see you, why don't you come up with me and ask him in person?"
Mrs. Qi's gaze was too sharp. Xia Yiqing knew that no matter how she clenched and unclenched her hands, she would not be able to escape her eyes.
"But, no matter what the result is, I would like you to not come here again. Just think of it as a sacrifice for this old woman's broken leg."
Madam Qi's words were like a poisoned silver needle that pierced Xia Yiqing's heart. Although no blood was seen before it was pulled out, the pain was real.
Faced with this wealthy woman who was over fifty years old but well-maintained and looked no more than forty, Xia Yiqing could only nod woodenly.
All her ideas had already been taken into consideration by Old Madam Qi.
Including the slight sense of guilt in her heart, everything was grasped and calculated just right by Old Lady Qi.
Following the old lady and her group towards the elevator, Xia Yiqing bit her inner lip hard and pressed her Laogong acupoint with her middle finger before she mustered the courage to look at the old lady's back.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frame the Third Master before."
The old lady didn't say anything, she just steered the wheelchair forward.
The moment the elevator door closed, Xia Yiqing heard a dull echo in the car, "I know you're not a bad person."
Xia Yiqing turned her head and was about to look at the old lady's expression, but found that the old lady was still as calm and composed as ever.
She pursed her lips and stared calmly ahead, not looking like she had just spoken.
Xia Yiqing smiled bitterly. Could it be that she was so eager for the old lady's understanding that she was hallucinating?
Top floor office.
Qi Hanmu had been urgently transferred to the nursing bed in the lounge.
Next to him, there were all kinds of medical equipment such as electrocardiogram monitors. The nasal oxygen tube was placed aside, and an oxygen mask was put on the lower half of Qi Hanmu's face.
As he inhaled and exhaled, white gas condensed faintly in the oxygen mask, but quickly dispersed.
"Don't get excited," Qin Fei adjusted the drip flow rate with her hands, staring at the numbers on the ECG monitor, her voice calm.
"Is there anything that still doesn't feel right?"
After Qi Hanmu put on the oxygen mask, the feeling of hypoxia was greatly relieved and he felt a little relaxed.
He closed his eyes and rested. Qin Fei stood on his right and asked in a low voice, but of course he didn't hear the question.
"Third Master?" Qin Fei frowned and his voice became a little louder.
But the man lying on the nursing bed with his chest slightly rising and falling still did not respond.
Qin Fei thought Qi Hanmu was sleepy, so she walked to the cabinet next to her, opened it, and took out the quilt.
The door to the lounge rang twice, and Luo Miao's voice came in, "Third Master, the old lady is here."
Then with a click, the door opened inward, revealing Xia Yiqing standing behind the door and Old Madam Qi in a wheelchair.
Feeling a slight air flow, Qi Hanmu slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, his head still dizzy, but he saw the beautiful girl standing at the door at a glance.
Xia Yiqing's light pink coat had been unbuttoned. She was wearing a pair of silver high heels, and the hem of her white skirt fell directly to her ankles.
With the girl's pair of charming eyes, Xia Yiqing seemed to be just breathing, but she could attract people to gather around her like bees diligently serving in the flowers.
In comparison, he looked disheveled.
There was still dark stubble on his chin and lips. Although he had shaved it not long ago, it had grown back unnoticed after staying up all night.
His heart felt as sour as if a bottle of lemonade had been spilled. Qi Hanmu's breathing began to quicken again, and his hands curled up in the quilt unconsciously clenched the sheets.
Although Qi Hanmu didn't know why a businessman like him would care about his appearance, it wasn't like he was discussing cooperation with Xia Yiqing.
But the body is much clearer and more understanding than the heart.
He pressed the button to raise the bed, closed his eyes, endured the dizziness, and tried to straighten his back so as not to lose his composure in front of outsiders.
Perhaps it was because the bed board rose too quickly, Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he felt a little nauseous.
He had no choice but to stop, his eyes half-closed, his head lowered, his fingers curled back into the sheets, as if he had done something wrong.
"You're not feeling well yet, so don't be so polite."
When Old Madam Qi saw Qi Hanmu stand up, she thought he was just being polite. She didn't show any emotion on her face, but in her heart she felt that her grandson was very filial.
Qi Hanmu's elbows were still supporting the bed board. Fortunately, his eyesight was still good. He could clearly see the old lady's lip language and nodded slightly as a response.
Seeing the person on the nursing bed, Xia Yiqing's heart began to beat uncontrollably. Even her breathing trembled a little, and the hands hanging by her side shook unconsciously.
Qi Hanmu had obviously lost weight, and his cheeks were sunken. Although he still had a good-looking appearance, the dark circles under his eyes were obvious, which was connected with the vague sickness in his body.
All signs indicate that the man has not been doing well recently.
The room was silent for a moment, but the sound of the oxygen concentrator became impossible to ignore. Seeing Xia Yiqing looking at the oxygen machine next to her, Qi Hanmu felt a little blocked in his throat for a moment.
It feels like the person you like has discovered your shortcomings. Besides being afraid, you will also have a little secret expectation in your heart, hoping that the other person will not care too much or will not be disgusted.
Qi Hanmu dug his nails into his fingertips fiercely. He stared blankly ahead, without a trace of emotion in his phoenix eyes.
This kind of thought of begging for mercy should not have appeared in his mind.
It seems that the hypoxia caused by this severe arrhythmia not only caused him amnesia, but may also have damaged his brain.
"Xiao Xia," Mrs. Qi's voice was not loud, but no one present dared to disobey.
"Don't you want to see the Third Master and tell him something? Go ahead."
The old lady's words were ordinary, but Xia Yiqing inadvertently felt the sweat on her palms. "Third Master," it was not easy to defend herself. After just one sentence, Xia Yiqing felt a little suffocated.
But opportunities are rare.
Xia Yiqing took a deep breath, held it, and slowly raised her eyes to meet Qi Hanmu's gaze. She said gently but firmly, "Third Master, it was my fault for what happened before. I was taken advantage of by others and did something that hurt you. I'm very sorry, but now I want to atone for my sins."
harm?
Seeing the girl in front of him who was petite compared to him and had beautiful and delicate features, Qi Hanmu couldn't help but sneer.
What could she do to hurt him?
Using her background which was insignificant compared to him, or some other new means.
If it was some shady trick, it would be unlikely, otherwise, the old lady would not have easily brought Xia Yiqing to his lounge.
Qi Hanmu's eyes were playful, lingering on the woman's slender white arms, but he couldn't help but pause.
There's something wrong with that watch.
When the light shines on it, the dial sparkles and twinkles like stars, shining little by little, which easily reminds people of the sea of stars.
Suitable for existing in the long night and embellishing the starry sky in the dark night.
Qi Hanmu's pupils shrank. This watch looked like a couple's style with his night watch.
Thinking of this, Qi Hanmu's eyes suddenly became deep.
What is the intention of this person named Xia Yiqing?
Did she deliberately wear the same watch as him to arouse his sympathy?
"My dear," Qi Hanmu opened his lips slightly, and when he saw the girl's eyes light up, the coldness in his eyes became even more, like a mockery.
"Take it off."
Xia Yiqing's body was stiff, as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt. Suddenly, her whole body was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, like a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved.
She could hear every word clearly, and it caused a tingling sensation in her ears.
The heart is like a piece of glass that has been hit hard. Cracks begin to appear in the middle, crackling, and finally the whole piece breaks into pieces.
"This is... a gift from you, Third Master."
In Xia Yiqing's previous opinion, trying to establish a relationship was a very cheap act.
But now, she actually did it shamelessly. For a moment, sweat broke out on her back and her face was a little red.
However, Xia Yiqing's hands hanging at her side clenched unconsciously, and beads of sweat appeared on the back of her neck.
She didn't even know what she was expecting.
Should she ask Qi Hanmu to forgive her this time because they were once cousins?
It's really unheard of.
Qi Hanmu had a blank expression and was horrified. Seeing the girl's sincere eyes, he instinctively felt that she would not lie, and the brand only launched this one model.
And it was only handed over to him.
His scalp slowly began to feel numb, and Qi Hanmu felt dizzy for the first time in a long time, as if he had stayed up too late, and someone was knocking on his temples with a hammer and screwing screws in them, treating his brain as a renovation site.
The data on the ECG monitor next to it fluctuated rapidly, and the instrument issued a beeping alarm.
Qi Hanmu's breathing was unclear under the oxygen mask, obscured by the hissing sound.
"Let's go," Qi Hanmu used up his last bit of strength to tuck his trembling hands into the quilt. He had a premonition that he was not in good condition.
"You, get out."
Logically speaking, Qi Hanmu would not say such words to a stranger.
But he was indeed very unconscious, his temples were beating like a living thing, and his heart was beating harder, sending pain radiating to his left chest, and that half of his arm was numb.
Out of instinct, Qi Hanmu began to expel everyone around him when he was not feeling well, except for necessary personnel such as medical staff.
The moment she was driven out of the door, Xia Yiqing kept stroking the star watch on her left wrist with her right hand, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.
She specifically went to the brand to search, but found that they did not have the same Starry Night watch. The brand had indeed only designed one pair, but she didn't know who they were given to.
It was then that Xia Yiqing realized that this watch and the night watch on Qi Hanmu's hand were a couple's style.
It turned out that he had expressed his true feelings to her so early. Xia Yiqing dug her left fingertips into his palm. Unfortunately, she did not cherish it and let the fate between them slip away in vain.
“Cough cough cough…”
It was just a small gust of wind, but a violent coughing fit broke out in the lounge, indicating that the owner of this office was in poor health. Several medical staff rushed in.
